47. ACCEPTANCE/REJECTION OF THE PROPOSAL OF THE RIVERVIEW MUSIC QUADRANGLE GROUP
Description

On April 17, 2007, the Board adopted a resolution regarding the Status of Designated 1958 Buildings on the Campus of Riverview High School.   That resolution required the group known as Revive Rudolph’s Riverview to present several key items to the Board by March 15, 2008.  On March 4, 2008, the Board extended the timeline from March 15, 2008 to June 15, 2008.  In addition, following a workshop on this topic, the Board asked that Revive Rudolph’s Riverview complete the specific steps listed below, by June 15, 2008, to ensure the continued viability of the project:   

 

1)  a business plan that provides a detailed account of the funding plan for the renovation of the alternate use facility that will hold the School Board harmless from any additional costs

 

2)  a business plan that provides a detailed account of the funding plan for the ongoing operations of the alternate use facility that will hold the School Board harmless from any additional costs

 

3)  an alternate use plan, with a clearly identified user acceptable to all stakeholders, compatible with the educational setting of a modern high school and the local neighborhood

 

4)  a site plan that: does not reduce the size of play fields, PE fields, or athletic venues; provides a minimum of 961 parking spaces for RHS staff and students, plus what code requires to support the alternate use

 

5)  an updated traffic study

 

6)  two neighborhood meetings to solicit feedback from neighbors and RHS stakeholders

 

7)  site/civil drawings that are of sufficient detail to allow civil engineers representing both RMQ and the School Board to estimate costs of site impacts

 

8)  a timeline to indicate when the Board will see funds associated with those site impacts

 

This motion either accepts as complete or rejects as incomplete the items required for the project to continue.

That the Board accept or reject the proposal of the Riverview Music Quadrangle Group as presented because the group has or has not met each of the criteria set by the Board and, as such, supports or does not support the continuation of efforts toward retaining the original Paul Rudolph buildings.
