Port of Friday Harbor Commissioners are knee-deep in numbers and concepts as they figure out the whats, whys and hows of the Spring Street Landing redevelopment project.

Pride in the project and Port Commission’s desire for public participation in the decision-making process have led to release of more information about the buildings and more images of design and site plans for public perusal.

“We want to hear from you,” said Commissioner Greg Hertel, referring to the commission meeting scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 26. Another public meeting for review of near-final drawings is planned for sometime in March.

All three commissioners confirm a “broad-brush ballpark estimate” of $4 million for construction of buildings to replace the burned out building formerly occupied by Downriggers Restaurant and three other businesses.

At the Feb. 6 public meeting, architect Peter Brachvogel of BC&J architects unveiled a two-building package having roughly 1,000 square feet more than the previous structure. The main building would have an upper level restaurant of about 4,000 square feet, plus a considerably larger deck to offer customers more outdoor dining space. The lower level commercial space would also have about 4,000 square feet, which could be enough space for a fourth commercial tenant. The second, smaller building would be about 600 square feet, probably sufficient for one water sports tenant.

Between six and 16 underground parking spaces would be provided.
