Ray gave the staff report. It was confirmed that this property was in the HARC District – so the procedure for this
property would be rezoning, then it will go before HARC for the certificate of design compliance, and then the site
plat review process. John Guvurnik, Guvurnik Builders, gave his presentation. Gurvurnik informed the
Commissioners that he has had an informal meeting with the HARC committee to give them some of the ideas
they have for this site. It was decided that there would be an informal committee to work with Gurvurnik and the
architect to make sure they comply with the HARC regulations. Gurvurnik said he has purchased the part of land
with the house on it, and will be coming back to P&Z to rezone. His plans are to do a mixture of retail/
commercial and possibly some office and residential condominiums. This property will be major mixed use.
Gurvurnik was thinking about a restaurant overlooking Blue Hole and river, with a deck going over some flood
plain property; retail on Austin Avenue; office condos along 2nd Street and Rock Street.
