contact Gfeller Development Company's attorneys to formulate an
agreement with Gfeller Development to construct a municipally-
owned parking structure over the at-grade parking facilities
used by the Stevens Development.
In response to Mr. Edgar,. Mr. Gfeller provided clarification on
financing of the project.
John Prescott, 18752 E. 17th Street, Santa Aha, complimented the
Agency on its accomplishments in redevelopment. .Mr. Prescott
made reference to a parking study conducted earlier by staff
whereby a shortage of parking spaces was defined, an~ felt the
Agency may be acting too hastily on a two-story parking
structure as opposed to a three-story structure.
The Community Development Director responded to Mr. Prescott's
concerns regarding the downtown parking deficiency and stated
that additional spaces are not currently warranted at this site
and would not stimulate redevelopment in other downtown areas.
The Interim City Manager indicated staff plans to present a
report to the Agency at its next meeting which addresses future
plans for development of downtown parking.
Mr. Gfeller clarified that Gfeller Development is not requesting
nor agreeable to a delay on the parking structure. The
Community Development Director added that the parking structure
is intended to optimize a particular block and will not attempt
to meet other farther-range needs downtown. Messrs. Edgar and
Saltarelli concurred.
