Jones ARCHITECT 1627 U.S. Highway 1 Sebastian, Florida 32958 407/388-1983 May I , 1991 Mr. Will Conyers, Mayor Members Sebastian City Council City Hall 1225 Main Street Sebastian, Florida 32958 Re: Main Street and Indian River Drive Riverfront Study DEAR SIRS: As you may be aware, the Riverfront Study Committee is in the final process of completing its report, to be presented later this month. Many issues have been deliberated, public input noted and recommendations set. One aspect of the Committee's focus has been on the concept of a linear park system running north and south, with its 'center' at Main Street and Indian River Drive. Main Street to City Hall and the riverfront is referenced in the City's comprehensive plan, along with U.S. 1 and Indian River Drive, as part of the City's 'Central Commercial Core Area'. Main Street, U.S. 1, Indian River Drive and the Indian River itself, at that point, presents a unique opportunity to enhance this 'center' of the riverfront, while improving the image and function of the Central Commercial Core Area. The Riverfront Study report refers to the opportunity to create a 'cultural center' within this center area. A 'public place' that might contain a band shell, tourist information center, connection to the linear park system, related public facilities and parking. The visibility of this area from U.S. 1, even now, can be readily seen. As you consider action on properties within this important part of the riverfront, please note that the acquisition of those properties by the City, itself, for a greater, longer term, public good, is worthy of consideration. Funding mechanisms for such acquisitions are discussed in the Committee's report. The City has had opportunities in the past to acquire such vital properties as an investment towards the development public spaces. The riverfront is every bit valuable as a public space, May 1, 1991 Mr. Will Conyers, Mayor Members Sebastian City Council Page Two as it is a place for private sector development. Concurrent with following the Riverfront Study Committee's recommendations,the City should begin a land banking program within the riverfront district, now, to ensure its cultural vitality and to maintain the proper balance between public space and private development. Thank you for your time and conSideration. S, incerely,
