Point Wells Discussion Forum - January 26, 2010

The Richmond Beach Community Association held its third in a series of ongoing informational meetings regarding the Point Wells site. The format of this meeting was a panel discussion where experts from the City of Shoreline, the State's Ecology Division, a local community group (Save Richmond Beach) and the developers were asked to sit as panelists. Residents from at least four of Shoreline's neighborhoods were present as well as the Honorable Mayor Carla Nichols from the nearby Town of Woodway. Also present were Perkins & Will Architects - recently hired by the Paramount Petroleum Corp. to design the Point Wells future development. Perkins & Will have been chosen for their outstanding successes, in particular, their recent project, Dockside Green in Canada.
During the first part of the meeting, panelists introduced themselves and spoke academically about the Point Wells development. The second part was facilitated by Richmond Beach Community Association Board Member Jack Malek where audience members wrote out questions for the different panelists and the panelists responded. The conclusion to the meeting was an informal meet and greet between audience and panelists.
Discussions and neighborhood concerns were predominantly centered on traffic. Other concerns regarded tax base for the community and decision making as to how big the project can get.
Overall, the meeting was a success and neighbors seemed to prefer a direct and unfiltered access to expert panelists. The panelists also seemed to enjoy the format and saw the opportunity to directly communicate with the community and share updates and information.
