MINUTES
The first order of business was a discussion of the parking garage
relating to Mr. Perenchio's visit and resulting opinion that the
garage concrete is as durable as it should be. Greg Denton stated
that he felt Mr. Perenchio and his firm were very competent and that
he felt good about their judgement. There was further discussion
about Madsen's attitude concerning a warranty for the garage
concrete. The matter is not settled yet.
Three other problems were mentioned concerning the garage: 1) Water
standing on the top deck; 2) Water backing up into the second floor
of the garage after heavy rain (June and July); and 3) Electrical
problems. All these problems are being worked on.
Director Eldon Ward talked about rezoning the railroad area. He
said that the traditional zones are "looser" than today's trend. A
PUD zone or some other land -use control is needed to encourage
beneficial development. Mr. Ward suggested that an overall look
be taken at the downtown zoning. Discussion followed.
Earl Wilkinson moved that the Board recommend to the City Council
and the Planning and Zoning Board that they look at the possibility
of new zones for the downtown area as rapidly as possible,
especially for Mason Street. Bill Friedrichsen seconded the motion
and it passed unanimously.
Jim Newell, a City intern, presented a report on the City storm
drainage system. He concluded that there is a major problem in the
downtown with drainage and that changes should be made to cope with,
at the very least, ten-year storms.
There being no other business, the meeting was adjourned.
