I I I Council Meeting Minutes May 13, 1986 In response to Benke's question, Proper indicated that the vacation of Third Avenue could be removed from the street development project and that it could remain as is until a council decision is made. Benke asked staff when a council decision needs to be made; Anderson stated if the council wants to go ahead with construc- tion in 1986, he would need a decision by the first meeting in June, but if council wants to delay, we have a year or two to get definition of what is going to happen to the north of the park. Benke felt a need to continue discussion at the next meeting, and conversations with Tom Chock and people from St. John's will be included; sees many long-range issues that cannot be addressed within the next month and perhaps construction should to be deferred for a year to resolve those questions. Resident stated if the city goes ahead with the parking lot expansion, it locks itself in; Benke stated that is a concern for this season, but not an immediate problem. Motion by Benke, seconded by Schmidt, to CONTINUE DISCUSSION OF THE PARK PLANS TO THE MAY 27, 1986, COUNCIL MEETING. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Motion by Schmidt, seconded by Gunderman, to WAIVE THE RULES TO CONSIDER THE ISSUE OF LONG LAKE SURFACE CLOSURE TO GASOLINE POWERED VEHICLES. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Schmidt, to ORDER THE CLOSING OF THE SURFACE OF LONG LAKE TO ALL MOTORIZED BOATS OTHER THAN ELEC- TRICAL TROLLING MOTORS UNTIL SUCH TIME AS WATER RECEDES TO A SAFE LEVEL. Consultant Mike Gair presented the latest plans for the Old Highway 8 corridor, indicating they had been reviewed by the Planning Commission at its May 6, 1986, meeting. Council felt the plans looked good and encouraged Gair to proceed. Locke reviewed the staff report, stating that Dave Parkhill has prepared a proposal for a retail shopping center on the downtown site directly west of city hall. If the project is something council believes would be good for downtown and the community as a whole, staff would proceed to work with the Community Develop- ment Block Grant application and with Parkhill to see if the numbers would work both sides of the equation.
