Item No.1 (cont i nued) Discussion followed regarding the fact that the Parking Assessment District bonds will be retired by the end of the year, and the suggestion that therefore the Park ing Committee shoo ld be react iv ated; whether or not the developer has approached the owners of Herb and Jim's and the Place Market; the fact that Mr. Nagel is anxious to proceed with his project; that the proposed Redevelopment Plan for the corner of Main and Broadway calls for a mix of retail, commercial and residential development; and that the insufficient parking for the development is with respect to the commercial aspect of the project. Planning Director Schroeter replied to further questions by Council relating to lack of parking for the project; that as redevelopment progresses, public parking lots will be phased out, and that if every development provides its ONn parking, public parking becomes a moot point.
