The focus of this project is to take a site that is in need of remediation and create a design plan that embraces its sensitivities. The site to be used will be the Cabot-Koppers site in Gainesville, Fl. The primary intent is to generate a proposal for a recreational facility or park that will help to create a "green belt" type expansion connecting North Gainesville (via Koppers) to South Gainesville (via the Depot Avenue Watershed Park). Both Koppers and the Depot Avenue Watershed Park sit on sites that are/were contaminated. If Koppers is redeveloped into a green space, it can potentially function as a major component in a central hub for Gainesville. By reconnecting North Gainesville to South Gainesville at this point, I hope to utilize the rails-to-trails bike trail to establish a much needed outdoor recreational facility for Gainesville. Currently the site is zoned I-2 for intense industrial use. It is surrounded by housing to the North and West and the City of Gainesville passed a resolution on June 23, 2009 that intends to clean the Koppers site to include residential standards. They even passed a motion to amend the Gainesville Comprehensive Plan 2000-2010 to include residential use. Having the site cleaned to this standard will allow for a variety of options for future development. Koppers should not just be looked at as a hazardous site, but should be seen for what it can offer if properly managed and restored. I do not intend on providing solutions to the clean-up of Koppers, but rather a design that embraces the process of cleaning a site.
