The City owned land on the waterfront is
bordered by the river on the left and top of this topographical map, by the
Maglaras Park ball fields on the right and by the Paul Street/Wallingford
Street neighborhood at the bottom.
If you are not familiar with
reading a topographical map, the wavy blue/gray lines on the map above are
called contour lines. Contour lines connect equal points of
elevation. They indicate the degree of elevation of the land and also
define the shape of the land. The lines are closer together as the
slope leading up to the top of the elevation gets steeper . On this
map, every time you go up one contour line you go up 10 feet. Every time
you go down one contour line you go down 10 feet. For example,
the "PROPOSED CONDO SITE" is
on an upside down U-shaped plateau about 70-100 feet above the pumping
station "PS."
The "PRIVATELY OWNED" parcel
is located on a relatively flat plateau at the top of an upside down
V-shaped elevation about 100-150 feet above the river bank. The wide
spacing between the lines along the river indicates very little elevation
and very little slope on the bank of the river.
The former Public Works Facility
was housed
in two buildings on the flat space just down river from the pumping station. The sewer pumping station is at the end
of River Street and is designated "PS" on
the map. The only public works building left on the site is
designated "CS" on the map
and is a metal building that is being used for storage.
The "PROPOSED
CONDO SITE" is behind the existing cluster of condominiums and will be
accessed via Henry Law Avenue and Paul Street.
Zoning is designated in large capital
letters such as UMUD (Urban Multi-use District), RM10 (Multi-family
Residential), CWD (Cochecho Waterfront District). The entire waterfront
parcel is zoned CWD. The zoning allows a number of uses including
business and residential.
The "PRIVATELY
OWNED" parcel in the middle of the city-owned land is the old county jail
site.
