2A Wednesday, June 7, 2017 Appeal Tribune Housing Continued from Page 1A In addition to farm- workers, Colonia Jar- dines is open to employ- ees at Willamette Pie Company, BrucePac Meat Product Designers and other industrial food busi- nesses. Across town, Silver- place Apartment Homes, going up behind Wilco off Fossholm Street, is court- ing a broad array of rent- ers with a collection of apartments ranging from a 547-square-foot studio for $890 per month to a 1,204-square-foot apart- ment for $1,450 per month. Owner-developer Karl Ivanov, president of I&E Construction, broke ground in January and ex- pects to complete apart- ment buildings, parking lots, recreation center and pool and playground area by October. Several of the apartment build- ings are slated to open this summer. “It’s market-rate hous- ing, and everyone’s wel- come,” Ivanov said. “We’re trying to make this the best apartment com- plex in town. We expect to be in the neighborhood forever.” During the Great Re- cession, the 4.67-acre property’s future was un- known, as it sold several times, landing in the hands of the Oregon Housing Authorities in 2012. The agency, which builds affordable housing Studio Continued from Page 1A lyrics, compose music, collaborate with each oth- er, record and, we hope, actually produce a CD,” Petrik said. “We even cre- ated our own label, Pine Street Records.” for families, seniors and Oregonians with disabili- ties, held the property for four years before selling to Ivanov in 2016. “I’ve always had my eye on Silverton for a mul- ti-family development,” Ivanov said. At 93 units, Silverplace is the smallest apartment complex of its type that I&E has built in its 20- plus-year history. In the past, it constructed the larger Stoneplace and Ri- verplace apartments in Molalla and Independ- ence, respectively. It’s also responsible for the 12-lot Angel Brook subdi- vision in Silverton’s Mon- itor Road neighborhood. To score the city’s ap- proval, the developer agreed to pay $50,000 to- ward the creation of side- walks connecting Foss- holm and McClaine Streets, as well as pay for a left-turn-only lane di- recting traffic exiting the complex away from the unimproved roads behind it. Short, Wilson and Brooks streets are nar- row gravel roads that aren’t designed to handle much traffic, according to a transportation impact analysis conducted in 2015. The study also found that the 620 daily trips to and from the apartments aren’t expected to create unacceptable traffic backups at the intersec- tion of Fossholm and McClaine. With or without the apartment’s projected traffic, the intersection earns a report-card style rating of A/D at the eve- ning rush hour – “A” level Together, students in the class picked five songs to produce. One of them, “We Get no Sleep,” written by senior Carson Krause, was also selected as runner-up in Clacka- mas Community College’s MPT Festival this spring. Two other participants in the overall recording ef- fort are Caitlin Fisher, a project manager, and FARMWORKER HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Colonia Jardines, on South Water Street, is a subsidized apartment complex open only to low-income agricultural workers. movement and “D” level movement on Fossholm. At the morning rush hours, it earns a grade of A/C. As a long-term solution for east-west traffic, the study’s authors, DKS As- sociates, of Salem, sug- gested the city consider a future closure of the Foss- holm/McClaine intersec- tion and development of an east-west access to Sil- verton Road via Industri- al Road NE and Monson Road NE. Also, the Southern Pa- cific Railroad line runs all along the southern edge of the new apartment com- plex, but it doesn’t cur- rently see train traffic. Flooding in 2012 damaged the line, and although it’s considered an “active line,” it can’t be used until improvements are made. Abandonment of the rail line has been discussed, but its future is unclear, the study said. Meanwhile, apart- ments are filling up quick- ly, said manager Tammy Schwerdt, of C&R Real Estate Services Co. She’s moving from Portland to live at Silverplace full- time. Once the apart- ments are completed, a full-time maintenance worker will join her on- site, Ivanov said. To earn the “luxury” ti- tle, he said the apartments all have 9-foot ceilings, quartz countertops, stain- less steel appliances, ductless heating and air conditioning units, laun- dry hookups, Internet connections and access to the recreation center’s pool, workout room, busi- ness center, fenced kids’ park and grilling gazebo. He’s installed vented mi- crowave hoods, vented windows and bathroom thermostats that automat- ically vent when exposed to moisture. He estimated that I&E has 50 of its own workers onsite at any one time. One of the last projects to complete before the first renters can move in is street and parking lot pav- ing, now scheduled for June 12. James Curths, a multi-in- strument musician and vocalist. If all goes to plan, the students will have an al- bum to show by year’s end. They’ve been record- ing in a practice-room- turned-recording studio, using an analog sound- board borrowed from the choir teacher and the soft- ware program Garage Band. To take things to the next level, among other things, they need an audio interface, the device that digitizes music coming in from microphones, a new computer and the soft- ware program Logic, Pe- trik said. Other than a slight rattle in the ceiling, the room itself works well for recording. High School Nation or- ganizers told staff they’ll send a sound engineer to the lucky high schools in the same order its musi- cians toured the country, and they’ll set up the stu- dios. No one knows when the equipment will come to Silverton, just that it’s been promised. Free access to a full re- cording studio will be a magnificent opportunity for young musicians in- terested in recording ca- reers, on either the musi- cal or technical side, said Courtney Fast, a local mu- sician who’s been mentor- ing songwriters in this se- mester’s recording class at Silverton High. A bassist, vocalist and songwriter, Fast per- forms with Deadwood Standing and the Crying Eyes from Silverton and Burn the Stage from Port- land. In high school, he formed the punk pop band Mr. Bottle, got signed and played the I-5 corridor. That was 20 years ago, and he remembers bands back then having to pay for studio time or get signed to make an album. “If there’d been a re- cording studio at my high school, I would’ve never left. I would’ve talked staff into giving us a pass for a week straight,” Fast said. “This is a huge op- portunity for young musi- cians to, without any out- of-pocket expenses, ex- plore whether this is something they want to do as a profession or on the side.” Studio time typically costs between $80 and $150 per hour, putting al- bum production out of the reach of most high school students. Getting studio time isn’t just important on the music side of things. Sound engineering takes expertise too, from know- ing where to place the mi- crophones to figuring out how to best to capture an artist’s vision, Fast said. Learning this takes many hours in a studio. “The reality is that now students can go into a stu- dio and really learn the re- cording process on both sides of the fence,” he said. “It’s a huge learning opportunity and an outlet for creativity.” PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF BUDGET HEARING A public meeting of the City of Silverton will be held on June 19, 2017 at 7:00 pm at 421 S Water, Silverton, Oregon.
