Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,August 13, 2018 <br /> Page 12 <br /> Ms. Morrison stated the difference is that it is no longer being materially changed <br /> since they are saying they could recommend people to park there, but it is nothing <br /> `written in stone.' <br /> Councilmember Laliberte thought this would not change the common area for the <br /> other tenants. <br /> Mr. Paschke stated that was correct. <br /> Mayor Roe asked if they removed the "for the exclusive use" piece of this, is <br /> there any point in having a parking agreement at that point. <br /> Mr. Paschke thought the agreement then becomes more of a shared parking <br /> agreement, which is what they get with a retail strip center where parking is <br /> shared automatically between all the uses within the building. It would be an <br /> agreement to share the parking without an exclusive area identified for a specific <br /> use. <br /> Councilmember McGehee thanked staff for the material that was in the packet be- <br /> cause it seemed very clear. <br /> Councilmember Etten asked for clarification regarding standing agreements be- <br /> tween the larger retail stores in the development indicating they are all right with <br /> losing 120 parking spots plus the parking for the Chick-fil-A. <br /> Ms. Morrison explained they will be changing the parking lot. She displayed a <br /> map of the proposed parking lot changes, noting this will allow more parking per <br /> square foot with a better flow of traffic in general. She stated they do have <br /> agreements with the major tenants that have prohibited a build area there and they <br /> are all right with losing those spaces. Ms. Morrison explained they are planning <br /> to reconfigure the parking lot to maximize the number of spaces while safely <br /> maintaining the parking lot and walkability. <br /> Councilmember Etten thought the provision was there because the people who <br /> have been around the shopping mall for decades know there are times when park- <br /> ing is a problem. He thought when a large building is placed in the middle of it <br /> and it is indicated more parking will be added, that they will have to deal with <br /> traffic flow during the holiday season and State Fair. He also thought this helped <br /> address some of the traffic flow issues but could also create new traffic flow is- <br /> sues. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte stated she did understand why item B would be an op- <br /> tion because it is still a shared parking agreement for the new entity, more so than <br /> just referring to it as common area. It also doesn't violate any other agreements <br />
