Br Assistant City Manager� <br /> ��� <br /> SUBJECT: Downtown Streetscape Plan <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the attached <br /> agreement with Massie Massie Associates to provide streetscape planning services for <br /> Downtown Decatur. The proposed agreement will provide for schematic design of <br /> streetscape areas in downtown, including paving, lighting, landscaping, street furniture <br /> and other facilities. The contract amount will not exceed$9,100. <br /> BACKGROUND: The City of Decahu has entered into an agreement with Lucas <br /> Properties for the rehabilitation of the former Good's Furniture Store. As a part of the <br /> redevelopment incentives for the block, streetscape improvements are to be made to the <br /> 200 Block of North Main Street. In order to provide a consistent streetscape design for <br /> the area, City staff is of the opinion that a design pattern book should be developed for <br /> the entire downtown area. The streetscape plan will be useful in adapting different <br /> streetscape environments to a common design theme and will build upon the previous <br /> Urban Corridors Plan and Olde Towne TIF Redevelopment plan recommendations. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: N/A. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: N/A. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Dane Bragg at j <br /> 424-2727 or dbrag�cr,decaturnet.or�.
