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.
