~ MAYOR: We'll wait until we get to the hearing part to respond to this. Okay, at this point then I will ask if there are any additional statements. There are none. Now, at this time I will open this hearing to the public and ask that each speaker come to the microphone, give his or her name and address. Now, I might ask Mr. Honchell to respond to that remark on the parking at this point. This is because we are making it only 34 feet? HONCHELL: That is correct. The proposal is to have a 34 foot pavement. If we wanted parking on 'both sides traditionally that would mean a 44 foot wide pavement so there would be room for another car to park on the other side safely. It was felt that the traffic conditions up and down the road would be in the 1,300 vehicles per day category, at least what we have today. It didn't warrant 44 feet of pavement directly in front of the church. If we did that, that would really be widening it for having parking. That's not to say,it shouldn't have. , MAYOR: Let me ask Mr. Mulhagen, is the lot filled on Sundays, your parking lot? In other words, are people not going into. the parking lot just because it is cioser perhaps or is the parking lot filled? MULHAGEN: Well, I think that part of the problem is maybe in our own scheduling but we have three services every Sunday and at least when I get to church many times I have to park on the street because there is no space available in our parking lot. And I have parked on the west side of the street and all of the east side was also full. Now we do realize that does cause some hardship to the people that live close by and I guess we would like to apologize for that. We also agree that we don't like to walk down the street farther than we have. to, especially when it is wet and raining. MAYOR: Are there any other questions or statements? Any other questions or statements? Any other questions or statements? If not, I will close this hearing and turn it back to the counsel. I'll move that we adopt the resolution for the improvement of the project p83-20. COUNCILMAN JOHNSON: I'll second that, but I want to ask a question though. MAYOR: Alright. JOHNSON: Charlie, is the extension to 44 feet wide on the whole project possible? To have it 34 feet wide as a normal and then have that extra 10 feet just on the church side of the street. Is there any reason why that can't be done? HONCHELL: There is no reason why that can't be done. Right -5-
