ROLL CALL MEMBERS PRESENT Chairman Hyde; Members Gillow, Cox, McCandliss, Scott Members Absent None ST AFF PRESENT Acting Executive Director Asmus, Special Counsel Reed, Community Development Director Desrochers ALSO PRESENT Richard logob, Steve Hauser REPORT: PARKING STRUCTURE ALTERNATIVES Community Development Director Desrochers commented that last Spring, the Agency ap- proved a concept for a parking structure for the area encompassed by Madrona and Third Avenues, Center and "F" Streets. Mr. Steve Hauser, consultant, was hired to design the structure. The major tenants will be the theatre and the restaurant, Marie Callender. This evening, the staff is submitting an alternative design to the structure and requesting the Agency's approval of this concept so that plans can proceed. Mr. Dave legler, Redevelopment Coordinator, presented slides showing the new proposed concept. Rather than a rectangular building, it will now be an oval (or horseshoe) design, three levels, with one level below ground. In the original proposal, 600 cars were proposed; this new concept would house 738 cars. Mr. Desrochers indicated the new structure would be more of a pyramid design with each level smaller than the level below. The overall construction cost difference would be approximately $1 million savings over the original concept. Chairman Hyde expressed his concern in this concept's use of some of the open space area; the size of the theatre; the danger of jam-packing that area which may destroy the characteristics of Third Avenue. Council discussion involved the location and use of the proposed kiosk; the theatre owner wanting 190 more seats in his deve1op- ment; the Agency's review of the precise plan for the structure and the cost analysis. MOTION TO APPROVE NEW PARKING STRUCTURE CONCEPT MSUC (Scott/Cox) to approve the concept of the parking structure and that the theatre not be any larger than originally planned (square footage), and that every attempt be made to add whatever green space is lost through the change of plans from the condominiums--that for every square foot lost, some green space be made up somewhere else in the plans. REPORT: FINANCIAL CONSULTANT - TOWN CENTRE FOCUS AREA PARKING GARAGE In his written report, Commun;lty Development Director Desrochers explained that the financing of the Town Centre parking garage will require the use of a financial consultant, a bond underwriter and poss i b 1y an investment banker. The recommenda- tion was to utilize the firm of E. F. Hutton for the financing services. 10/20/81 ~ ----~-~-- ----------- ---- Adjourned Regular Meeting - Redevelopment Agency -2- October 20, 1981 MOT!
