COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT -Alderman Becker, Chair
Deputy Director of Community and Economic Development
Angell reviewed his memo of July 8, 2005, regarding the
Staff's recommendation that RFPs be sent for the
development of a parking/traffic study for the downtown
business district; he also reviewed the scope of the
RFPs.
Alderman Beauvais questioned the boundaries of the area
to be studied; she objected that Webford Avenue would be
included in the study; this is a residential street;
what would be the cost of the study? Deputy Director
Angell said the cost has not been determined yet; the
RFPs will tell us that.
Alderman Becker asked how much of the cost could be paid
from TIF funds. Deputy Director Angell said at least
75%.
Alderman Murphy stated that a study should be done in
the residential areas also; there should be traffic
calming devices in areas where there is heavy speeding;
RFPs should be sent out now for traffic calming devices.
City Manager Niemeyer said that he will be recommending
during the budget hearings that a study be done in the
residential areas.

Mr. Wayne Serbin, 835 Pearson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that we owe it to the
businesses to help them out with parking; if people
can't finding parking, they will go somewhere else.
Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that he has brought this
up before; he is very concerned about the traffic and
parking problems; why didn't we do this type of study as
we built these other projects?; we should do a single
City-wide traffic and parking study; create a model for
the whole City.
Mr. Ronald Moore, 1488 Jefferson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that every development
has had a traffic and parking study done; we shouldn't
use KOLA; they do a textbook-type study; hire a
reputable company.
Moved by Becker, seconded by Argus, to concur with Staff
recommendation and recommend to the City Council that
Staff be authorized to send out Request for Proposals
(RFP) for the development of a parking/traffic study for
the downtown business district.
Alderman Beauvais stated that she will be voting no; we
waste a lot of money and then we do nothing with the
information.
Motion declared carried. Alderman Beauvais voted no.
A brief discussion was held on short-term parking
improvements; the City is looking into implementing some
short-term parking improvements as recommended by the
Staff Traffic Advisory Committee (STAC).
Alderman Becker stated that the developer has removed
his request for a $2.2 million incentive over 15 years
in the form of a developer note, with an "all-retail"
option at 640 Pearson Street, because the Staff would
not recommend this to the City Council.
Alderman Becker stated that the Staff would support a
"mixed-use" option with $1.7 million plus interest "pay-
as-you-go" incentive, with 36 spaces allocated from the
City parking garage used to meet the City's parking
requirements.
Argus stated that she remembers the developer
the City Council that they would use that
for their offices and rehabilitate the

move into it.
Mr. Gary Danfield, 655 River Road, addressed the

more units on the first floor?; we need to know what
they are planning for this building.
Mr. Ronald Moore, 1488 Jefferson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that he heard that the
developer is going to leave the building as it i s; i t
should be rehabilitated; it will be an eyesore if they
don't.
Mr. Wayne Serbin, 835 Pearson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that a deal was made; a
deal is a deal.

Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that we should look at
the tape of the meeting to hear what the developer said;
there seems to be a discrepancy; if they didn't follow

litigation.

redevelopment agreement with the developer of
Metropolitan Square, Tucker-Freed, and report back to
the City Council.
