One University Place Construction Update 13
12/19/16
Final work on the South Building is being completed. There
are still a few items to be completed before a Certificate of Occupancy for the
South Building can issued. The current objective is to have all items completed
by the end of the year in order that the Certificate of Occupancy can be
issued. Construction on the North Building is continuing. The two levels of
underground parking have been completed and construction of the first and
second floor is underway. Mechanical and electrical system controls on the east
end of the North Building are receiving priority in order that heat will be
provided for winter construction.
At the December council meeting the Council agreed to accept
a portion of the east ravine which has been replanted with ground cover and new
trees. The remaining portion of the ravine will not be accepted until the North
Building is completed and all plantings have been installed. The City will then
own the east ravine, which is currently owned by Jeff Maxwell, and insure no
development in the future in the ravine. This transfer will be done with no
cost to the City except to maintain the natural state of the ravine in the
future.
The Council also has agreed to purchase the east end of the
first floor of the South Building as a Community Center for the City of
University Heights. This 2400 square foot facility will house the City Offices,
Police Department and Meeting Space. Guidelines for use of the Meeting Space by
residents and non-residents are being developed. The purchase of the space is
expected to close by the end of 2016.
The Developer indicated that interest in the Commercial
Space has picked up in the last two months and hope to announce the businesses
which will go in this area in the next couple of months.

Report that deals with OUP.
