I ( I I Council Meeting Minutes July 22, 1986 Council Business, continued 4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried In response to Williams's question, Benke indicated that Gunderman cannot vote "Nay" by proxy, but noted for the record that Gunderman's memo stated he felt it was appropriate to put the light back on the pole. Proper had nothing further to add to the staff report concerning a petition for "No Parking" on First Avenue N.W. between Seventh and Eighth Streets N.W. Thuey agrees with staff report and feels all residents would also agree. Benke asked if Thuey was aware that the no parking also includes the residents; Thuey stated the residents are aware of that. Motion by Williams, seconded by Schmidt, to ORDER THE INSTALLA- TION OF "NO PARKING ANY TIME" SIGNS ON THE WEST SIDE OF FIRST AVENUE N.W. BETWEEN SEVENTH AND EIGHTH STREETS N.W. FOR TRAFFIC AND SAFETY REASONS. 4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Benke asked that Council Business Items No.9 and 10 (Considera- tion of Parking Plan for City Hall and Consideration of plans for Veterans Park and for Third Avenue between Eighth and Ninth Streets) be considered simultaneously. Krueger indicated the neighbors have not been contacted at this time as staff would like to have council comment on which parking lot proposal is preferable (noting that Plan #3 would require a variance) to most adequately address the parking situation. Following that preference, staff would have a proposal to take to the neighbors and to the Planning Commission for further action. Benke stated his intent would be to, after discussion of the options with staff and questions from residents, consolidate and continue action at the next meeting and, during the interim, let those involved know that a decision will be made at the next meeting. Proper reviewed parking lot proposals, recommending Plan #2 as the most economical and the most feasible for the Fire Depart- ment. Anderson intends to develop a landscaping plan for the parking lot at the same time the landscaping plan for city hall is de- veloped rather than with Veterans Park, although it could go either way; Benke asked that preliminary plans on screening and buffering of the parking lot be available at the next council meeting.
