CityCouncil | 2015-09-01 | 11 | 368 Vice Mayor Matarrese stated that he was recusing himself and left the dais. The City Planner gave a Power Point presentation. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the option for hotel parking is near Gardner preschool, to which the City Planner responded in the affirmative. Mayor Spencer inquired what the lease radius is, to which the City Planner responded 1000 feet. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether it is possible to be stuck with an empty building if the owner is unable to get a lease, to which the City Planner responded it is theoretically possible; stated an easy fix is Council can change the condition so that the trigger is building permit, not occupancy. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the disadvantages of a dedicated asphalt lot will be discussed. The City Planner responded the Planning Board took six months to approve the plan; the issue of shared and permanent parking came up; the Planning Board determined there was enough space on the site to not require another site to be paved over as another lot. Councilmember Oddie noted that neighbors are not yet aware there may be a parking lot next to their homes; they may come to the Council with light pollution issues; inquired what are the options to keep the project moving if Council does not choose a permanent parking lot. The City Planner responded that he recommends the Council direct staff to change the condition on the parking plan; certain things need to happen before a building permit can be issued: property purchase, parking lot design and lighting, anddesign review approval; if there is no design review approval, the project would have to come back to Council. *** (15-523) Mayor Spencer announced a motion is needed to considering the remaining agenda items.

Councilmember Oddie seconded the motion, which carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Daysog, Ezzy Ashcraft, Matarrese and Oddie - 4.
