Lehman agreed, however, he explained that if the project weren't approved, the spaces <br />that are currently being used for parking would be landscaped. He stated that either way <br />the parking spaces would no longer be available after April 1, 1999. <br /> <br />Sisk asked Lehman where the property is located that he has indicated could be utilized <br />for additional parking. <br /> <br />Lehman replied that he has other properties in the downtown area. <br /> <br />Sisk stated that he felt it is important that this is discussed. He again asked Lehman where <br />the properties are located. <br /> <br />Lehman replied that he has not made the determination which ones he would use. He <br />explained that he is hesitant to identify which properties might be used as he has tenants <br />in several of his rental properties at this time. He stated that he would provide the spaces <br />that are needed and he understands that the language indicates they must be within <br />reasonable distance of the property. <br /> <br />Sisk asked Lehman if the properties are located on the west side of the railroad tracks. <br /> <br />Lehman replied, yes. <br /> <br />Sisk asked Hartronft if it would be possible to eliminate the building' s third story and <br />retain the pedestrian plaza. <br /> <br />Hartronft replied that this would involve expanding the footprint of the two-story <br />structure in order for it to be economically viable. The pedestrian plaza or the parking <br />would need to be removed in order to accommodate the larger footprint. He stated that <br />the pedestrian plaza is not necessary for PUD approval, however, parking is. <br /> <br />Sisk stated that he thought Mr. Lehman assured Council that he had the parking <br />otherwise available. <br /> <br />Hartronft replied that there are costs and other factors that would need to be evaluated for <br />off-site parking. <br /> <br />Sisk asked if he is correct in his understanding that a two-story building with a pedestrian <br />plaza is not an option before Council. <br /> <br />Hartronft replied, yes. <br /> <br />Mayer asked Adin Lehman where the tenants in 908 Main Street were parking before the <br />parking behind 901-909 Front Street became available. <br /> <br />Lehman replied that they were parking on Walnut Street and around on Front Street. <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br /> <br />
