Roll call was taken. Motion carried 5-0. Discussion on Request by Sami’s on Main, 668 North Main Street – Utilize Lots on Jefferson Street for Temporary Parking during Main Street Reconstruction
Project Mr. Burich noted a request was received from Sami’s on Main Street, 668 N. Main Street, to utilize the vacant lots on Jefferson Street for parking purposes during the Main Street
reconstruction project.. In reviewing the area, it appears the 400 Block should be able to provide alternative parking, but the 500 and 600 Blocks may have concerns. Mr. Hintz inquired
if the Business Improvement District has done anything to work with property owners on Main Street? What about liability concerns?
__________________________________ 2/8/2010 RDA Minutes 2 Mr. Burich noted the BID district boundaries only go to Parkway Avenue and did not include the 600 Block. Otherwise, yes, the
BID is working with property owners on Main Street to address parking concerns, access, etc. during the reconstruction project. Mr. Bermingham indicated he didn’t have a problem with
the concept, but did not want to see the RDA incur any costs. Chairman Belter indicated he had some safety issue concerns, mainly due to no lighting on the vacant residential lots. Mr.
Schneider felt it made sense to investigate the concept further and work with the property owners in the immediate area. It was the consensus to have staff further review parking options
in the 600 Block area of Main Street. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at approximately 4:11 pm (Hintz/Bermingham). Respectfully submitted, Mark Rohloff Executive
Director
