River Ridge authorizes RG Architects subconsultant agreement and advances gatehouse redesign
Summary
The board authorized Bowman to retain RG Architects, P.A. as a subconsultant for redesign of two gatehouses and agreed to book the $62,500 fee as a reimbursable deferred cost; design and permitting are estimated at 12–18 months with construction planned for 2026.
Eric Long presented RG Architects' fee proposal to redesign two gatehouses and related monuments. The board discussed zoning, elevations, and the need for a new elevation certificate; Mr. Long said the main gate requires redesign because of repeated vehicle strikes. The board authorized Bowman to retain RG as a subconsultant and authorized the chair to execute documents after counsel and manager review.
Mr. Long noted that "As design and permitting will take 12 to 18 months, this will allow work to begin without delays," and staff discussed booking the $62,500 expenditure as a reimbursable, to be invoiced to the CDD when financing is issued and construction begins in 2026. Mr. Blumenthal will serve as the board liaison for communications and monthly updates.
