Motion carried. <br /> <br />B. *Parking Removal Plan for Central Business Distr>ict Circumferential Streets <br />Council previously approved removal of parking from core area segments of Oak, 8th, <br />Charnelton and 10th, coincidentally with creation of four additional off-street lots. <br />Property owners and tenants in the area were contacted for review of the plan. 41% <br />responded of which 25% were tenants. The Downtown Association has contacted those <br />who responded negatively. In spite of the fact iliat the decision was not unanimous, <br />the Downtown Association has requested that the City move ahead. The majority of owners <br />recognize that the streets will be widened next summer, with ultimate parking removal. <br />Concern was also expressed that the lots be available before removal of parking sites. <br /> <br />Councilwoman Beal was concerned that parking lots were not permanently landscaped. <br />She was assured that landscaping was planned for permanent lots, but that these <br />proposed four were Renewal Agency property and were interim lots. Potted trees <br />were, however, planned for them. She was also assured that a tree-planting program <br />was included in plans for street widening. <br /> <br />City Manager explained that the renewal plan calls for three additional large parking <br />facilities, and that landscaping is included in the plans. <br /> <br />Mr. W~lliams moved seconded by Mr. Gribskov that parking removalfrom the core area, as <br />delineated by staff, be approved. <br /> <br />Mr. W. Ellingsworth, 2760 Willamette, spoke for the Downtown Association, which has requested <br />that metered parking be removed from fuese str>eets as soon as off-street parking can be provided. <br /> <br />Councilmen were a little concerned with removal of short-time parking meters. They felt citizens <br />should have an opportunity to run short errands. It was pointed out that most of the off-street <br />lots would be metered. <br /> <br />Mr. Vince Farina, member of the Downtown Business Association, said merchants in the Association <br />have worked diligently for about twenty years to move traffic in and around the downtown area, <br />and to provide adequate off-street parking. The streets will have to be used for movement of <br />pedestrians and traffic, not for storage of autos. <br /> <br />Mr. George Boehnke, 3120 Agate, said most merchants on 8th would not agree to removal of parking <br />unless adequate off-street parking is provided. Mr. Charles Bonnett, 193 West 19th, reminded <br />Councilmen that they should consider the long-run effect of this plan, and that ninety new <br />spaces would be added through the off-street lots. <br /> <br />Vote taken on motion as stated.

The site was toured before the committee meeting. <br /> <br />Manager read letters. from Bernard Strassmaier, 1034 Lawrence Street, Alexander Dederer, Cedar <br />Lane Company and Warren L. Ramsay, 452 West 10th, in opposition to paving of the alley. It <br />was determined by staff that 50% of the alley frontage was in favor of the paving, even if all <br />three letters were valid. Staff opinion is that~ since the property owned by commercial users <br />will receive heavier than residential use, the alley should be paved~ and that it will benefit <br />all the properties. <br /> <br />John Horn, 1170 Pearl~ said Cedar Lane still owns frontage on the alley, but that it is under <br />option to the Salvation Army. <br /> <br />Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Gribskov that the bid be awarded to the low bidder for the <br />project.
