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

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

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.”
