Mayor Hoesterey opened the public hearing at 7:31 p.m. Arthur E. Bartlett, Larwin Square Ltd. General Partner, stated he was present to answer Council questions. Mr. Bartlett responded to Council that additional parking spaces are gained as a result of restriping for compact cars; Larwin Square owners are diligently making physical improvements, improving tenant mix within the center, and constantly maintain- ing it in every way, shape and form. Mr. Bartlett continued that removal of the play area and construction of the new build- ing will allow one more retail business in the center. Council concerns were expressed regarding parking congestion, traffic flow, identification sign obstruction resulting in future requests for sign variances, hardship on existing retail- ers, the possiblity of relocating the proposed building behind Kresge's nursery area, and the distribution of compact parking around the perimeter of the bank area. Mr. Bartlett responded that they have not experienced a problem with parking congestion, but rather with the lack of direction in the flow of parking. He stated that since purchase of the center three years ago, after it was remodel ed, improvements are continually being made in an effort to prevent the center from deteriorating. Don 1let, Danielson Design Group, stated that compact parking stalls were grouped so they can be easily found by shoppers, and redistribution could be worked out with City staff; and the building face signage is secondary to signage under the pedes- trian arcade, which is the primary identification.
