OLD BUSINESS 2. 1737 Main Street – Draft Site Layout Executive Director Statz presented the draft site layout and renderings submitted by the city’s consultant Site Design and Realtor Mike Brass. Mr. Brass has not yet completed his financial analysis of the site, and did not attend the meeting. Mr. Statz felt, however, that a general review of the site would be valuable. Mr. Statz also reviewed parking requirements for various scenarios of building occupancy. Even in the less demanding scenario of office space for the first floor, parking needs are not met by the site layout. With a retail or restaurant component on the first floor, the parking situation is worse. Mr. Statz reminded the board that any development in the M1 or M2 districts is done through a Planned Unit Development (PUD) process, which allows for flexibility of zoning regulations, including parking requirements. The board directed Mr. Statz to engage in conversations with adjacent property owners about shared parking arrangements or other land acquisition that could help facilitate more parking. No formal action was taken. VIII. NEW BUSINESS 3. Rebranding Letter of Support Mr. Statz reviewed, with the board, a draft letter of support for the rebranding effort. The letter outlines the EDA’s intended roll in the implementation of effort. Motion by Commission Member Weatherhead, seconded by Commission Member Giovinazzo to approve the support letter. All in favor. Motion carried. 4.
