OGDENSBURG — An Oregon developer will share his vision for the redevelopment of the former Diamond International paper mill site with the City Council.

James W. Sharp, president of American Communities Inc. of Jacksonville, Ore., will present the conceptual plan for the property along the St. Lawrence River at the council's meeting Tuesday night. American Communities was the sole developer to submit a revised plan before Friday's deadline.

The two other developers who had expressed interest in the project — P&L Investments LLC of Washington, D.C., and Ogdensburg resident Joseph Howe — didn't submit revised proposals and won't make a presentation to the council, City Manager Arthur J. Sciorra said.

American Communities' original proposal submitted in October called for the installation of a park, townhouses and a marina with boat launch.

The revised plan includes a mix of townhouses, apartments and commercial space, along with a waterfront boardwalk and clubhouse with swimming pool. The proposal also includes future redevelopment of the nearby former Standard Shade Roller property.

"We're taking this as a master plan with two phases," said Mr. Sharp, declining to reveal details of the revised proposal. "We thought we should take a whole neighborhood approach, instead of just one site."

A marina for the property could be pulled because of the expense of building and maintaining it, Mr. Sharp said. No final decision has been made on that aspect of the proposal.

American Communities has a few ongoing projects in Jefferson County near Fort Drum. The company specializes in building near military bases, including two proposed housing developments in the town of Pamelia and a retail complex in the town of LeRay. None of the projects is under construction yet.

P&L envisioned a development combining low-income and market rate townhouses, a marina and several businesses, such as an upscale restaurant and tavern, according to its response to the request.

Several retail shops also were proposed, including a sporting goods store, furniture and coffee shops, liquor store, dry cleaner, optician and other specialty shops. The project would have been done over two years.

Mr. Howe proposed a development including condominiums, a motel and a marina.

The 15.3-acre site along the St. Lawrence River west of Lighthouse Point is one of the cornerstones of Ogdensburg's waterfront redevelopment efforts.

The city hasn't publicly disclosed a price for the waterfront property. The property, zoned for commercial and residential use, has about 1,370 feet of waterfront.

The property housed a paper mill from 1921 to 1987. City officials expect remediation work on the property to be completed later this year.
