7. New business
a. Oak Park Village parking issue
MICROFILMED
Mr. Gears related the problems with parking over the years at the
soccer field site in Oak Park Village. Staff's solution is for
construction of a temporary gravel-surfaced parking lot to be
constructed by City forces at the south end of Oak Park Village.
Commissioner Hanks said he did not want anyone to construe that
the City is allowing a gravel-surfaced parking lot without moving
forward to making it permanent.
It was moved by Commissioner Hanks, seconded by
Friedman, that the proposed project move forward
brought back to the EDA and Council regarding
permanent installation.
Commissioner
and then be
making it a
Commission Friedman asked the maker to specify a date certain for
permanent installation.
Commissioner Hanks said it would be appropriate as soon as staff
comes back with specifications to go out to bid.
Commissioner Haun asked what staff's intent was in not going to a
permanent installation at the outset.
Mr. Gears responded that in his discussions with Mr. Hagen and
Mr. Grube, a permanent installation was agreed upon. The
overriding concern of staff is that no long-term development plan
has been set up for that site and that construction of a
permanent parking facility without discussion among the EDA and
Council might tend to predispose the EDA/Council to a particular
plan.
