More Media Coverage

The Community Focus Group meeting from September 18 is still generating news. A piece appeared in today's Cedar Rapids Gazette:

Discussion on University Heights Development Resumes

The link above to the story has a good write up. 

Remember that online feedback is still being collected by MPOjc (Metropoliton Planning Organization of Johnson County) staff until midnight Tuesday October 1st.

Here is a link to the Focus Group page along with footprint images of each scenario and a webcast of the presentation of each scenario from the meeting:

Focus Group Feeback

The fiercely  debated Melrose Ave. development project that divided the University Heights community several years ago has resurfaced following a series of new proposals by the developer.
Plans for One University Place, 1300 Melrose Ave., to be a mix of residential and commercial development stalled in 2011 after vocal opposition from residents and a city council unwilling to support the project with tax increment financing.
Developer Jeff Maxwell released two additional proposals, along with his original plan, for the 5.3 acres of land where St. Andrew Presbyterian Church currently stands. The church has agreed allow Maxwell to purchase the land for $4.3 million, which the city council rezoned for development in 2010.
Maxwell said the residential-only designs are alternatives for those concerned about commercial space.
