RECOMMENDATION: Approve amending the FY 15/16 CRA Budget to appropriate project funds from Shoreline Stabilization to Landscape Enhancement of the Cav Corp and Overflow Parking. BACKGROUND: The CRA 15/16 budget holds $20,750 earmarked for Shoreline Stabilization at the Working Waterfront (WWF). However, this phase of WWF redevelopment has been postponed in consideration of a Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) proposal to install a seawall along the WWF property. Recently, Council approved the paving plan for the CavCorp lot. Landscaping for the CavCorp lot included maintaining some plant material around the Clock Tower and sodding the retention areas. Since CavCorp is a heavily -used area of the City, Staff believes enhancing the perimeter landscaping would add to the aesthetics of the Riverview Park Campus, reduce heat island effects from the parking lot pavement, and provide a more pedestrian -friendly area. Staff recommends re -appropriating the funds from the Shoreline Stabilization project to CavCorp Parking Lot landscaping. To keep costs at a minimum, Staff will design the landscape plan and, with the exception of any large tress, will install the irrigation, plant and landscape materials. Staff estimates all landscaping and irrigation costs will be under $15,000. The balance of funds will allow additional landscaping for the future development of the South Parking/Overflow Lot.
