Roll Call Paulson, Petkoff, Carlson, Peterson, Nawrocki - present 2. Purpose of the Hearing To discuss public improvements, particularly the no parking considerations on the planned improvement project on 37th Avenue between Central Avenue and Stinson Boulevard. 3. Presentation of Information by Staff The City Manager advised that letters have been sent notifying affected property owners of this hearing. This project will not be an assessable project but will be paid out of state funds. To receive the funding some requirements for width must be met. These requirements will eliminate parking on the street. The staff had been requested by Mayor Nawrocki to explore alternatives for parking. Staff has recommended parking such as the parking spaces put in for the down- town redevelopment area on Central Avenue. It was noted that perhaps eight to ten feet of green area on front lawns will be needed if this option is chosen. Also, the City Manager observed that some utilities under this area may have to be relocated and the City will bear the cost of this work. The Public Works Director said that presently there is relatively l:mited parking on 37th Avenue as there is so much traffic. The three property owners in attendance expressed their opposition to allowing parking on 37th Avenue. The Public Works Director noted he had received two calls in opposition to the parking. The Mayor said it appears there is no interest in parking so that this alternative should not be incorporated into the project and the affected property owners should be advised of this by letter. 4. Action of the City Council Motion by Petkoff, second by Paulson that the City Manager be directed to send a letter to property owners on 37th Avenue between Central Avenue and Stinson Boulevard indicating that based on the results of the hearing that unless individual property owners contact the Council within ten days, no parking will be provided for in the 37th Avenue construction project.
