• April 24, 1984 T0: Jim Andre FROM: 1-loward Dahlgren SUBJCCT: Planning Office I-lours - 4/4 - 4/11 1• LYn�11 - 2'27_0655. Tom Lyncli and Bob Rosenthal from the Knights of Columbus Club were in to discuss their operation as it relates to the development of Fuddrucker's to tlie nortl�. They liave been parking cars on tlie south side of the old Polar Food Locker property (now being proposed to be sold to Fuddrucker's). Tliey will lose this parking w}ien tlie Polar Food Locker site is developed. Tliey explained tllat they tried to buy the land, but were unsuccessful. They liave discussed joint use of the land with h9r. Pl�itt of Fuddrucker's. It appears their peak }i�urs overlap somewhat in that restaurant peaks from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m., and the bingo starts at 7:30 p,m., running to 11:30 p.m. Tlie bingo operation's peak time is rri.day night, Saturday aiternoon, and Sunclay afternoon. Tlie Knight's of Columbus oporation makes a substantial amount oi money; like $135,000 in tlie year, which is given away to various cliarities and reinvested in their facilities. • 1Ve discussed ttie possibilities tliat witli t}ie kind of money tl�ey were willing to pay ioi• tlie Polar Food Locker site, they could co�istruct a two-level parking ramp on their property for less, ancl gain th� additional parking they neeci. Tliis is assuming there are no advcrse soil conditions �hat would increase tlie per car costs of a r��mp. It appears this is their only reasonable alternative, which they are going to review. 2. St. Rose of Lima - 227-OGSS. Tom Lynch, who is an arehiCect, also represents St. Rose of Lima Church, who are consiclera�ly remodeling their convent into a rectory and administrativc center. The toi� ilooz•tivould becamc tlic rectory, znd the lower floor, th� administrative o£.fices. The convent was origin�lly built for 26 nuns, nncl they now have 3. Th� presen� reetory would bc remodelect as a conven�, Tlle most S1�*111�1CA11� problem here is one of providin� aclequate purking space near the old convent site. The convent, oi course, requires relatively little pa�•ki�ig inasrnuch as t}ie nuns work on t}te site, and do not liave individual ca�•s, {Ve cliscuss�d ways in �V111C}1 adclit:ion�il p�rkinfi coulci be �aa�a A��d incre�sing the accessibility of the building to the major pzrking area to the southeast. There are also probl�ms with respect ta deciication of right-of-way thzt would be triggered with this renovation. It appears thesc problems are solv�zble, though perliaps iiot to thc degree onc �vould «is}i in ideal cireiunstr�nces. 3. Housing Alliance.
