City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 21, 2015 <br />Page 17of21 <br />Mayor Muckle asked if this could be included in the downtown resurfacing project. City <br />Manager Fleming confirmed it could. <br />PUBLIC COMMENT <br />Randy Caranci, 441 Elk Trait, Lafayette, CO inquired how the parking would be <br />approached at the KoKo Plaza one -way parking area. Planning and Building Safety <br />Director Russ explained South Street is one -way; Walnut Street and the alley could be <br />used to access the parking at KoKo Plaza. Local residents can access Front Street.. <br />Mr. Caranci felt it would be very cumbersome to get people in and out of those parking <br />spaces and it will not be fully utilized unless the City does something to advertise the <br />parking. Planning and Building Safety Director Russ explained ultimately when the <br />South Street Underpass comes in South Street to Main Street will be a two -way street. <br />Mr. Caranci inquired about the BNSF lease for parking areas and its location. Planning <br />and Building Safety Director Russ explained the fencing negotiations are from Griffith <br />Street to the end of Mr. Caranci property. The project was from the underpass to Pine <br />Street, but staff worked with the BNSF engineers to fence to the edge of Mr. Caranci's <br />lease. <br />Mr. Caranci requested the City include him in the negotiations with the BNSF railroad. <br />Planning and Building Safety Director Russ explained during the BNSF negotiations for <br />fencing, the staff was able to negotiate for head -in parking north of Pine Street and <br />diagonal parking south of Pine Street. <br />Mr. Caranci stated his recollection that the TEBO project would provide 20 parking <br />spaces through the dedication of Cannon Street. Mayor Muckle explained the TEBO <br />parking lot has always been 70 spaces. <br />Mr. Caranci asked how the citizens would safely cross the railroad tracks to the <br />downtown area. Planning and Building Safety Director Russ explained it is a land <br />acquisition. <br />Mr.. Caranci asked about the approval of the land acquisition. Mayor Muckle explained <br />the Council is not discussing the land acquisition this evening. They are discussing the <br />parking at 611 Front Street. <br />Mr. Caranci addressed the cost of paving the 611 Front Street lot and suggested using <br />crushed road base and also allowing private parties to do so. Mayor Pro Tern Dalton <br />explained the bidding environment has changed since last year <br />
