CityCouncil | 2005-08-16 | 24 | Counci lmember Matarrese moved approval [of upholding the Planning Board decision with the conditions outlined]. Vice Mayor Gilmore seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Daysog stated that he would not support the motion because he is concerned about the business deal; charging rent of $0.40 per square foot gets the City $3 million; charging rent of $0.80 per square foot would greatly increase the amount and is still below the $1.35 per square foot market figure. Mayor Johnson inquired whether the current colors of the historic theater are the original colors. The Development Manager responded the original colors are not known; however, the original colors were light. Councilmember deHaan stated that he is concerned about putting too much on a small parcel; that he would like to see downscaling to bring the project into some proportion; since downscaling is not occurring, he would not support the motion. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following voice vote: Councilmembers Gilmore, Matarrese, and Mayor Johnson - 3. Noes: Councilmembers Daysog and deHaan - 2.
