South B nd Redevelopment. Commission <br />Regular Meeting May 2, 1980 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br />g. continued.... <br />Mrs. Kolata: That is true. <br />Mr. Nimtz: That it would not <br />be required. <br />Mrs. Kolata: That it would not be <br />required; and that if it is a block <br />and one half or two blocks, maybe even <br />three blocks away that it is pretty <br />much their business. We are saying that <br />in our land use plan that this is going <br />to be a pedestrian oriented area. <br />Particularly, the area up to Niles <br />because of the race way and the park <br />like atmosphere. We feel it is <br />incompatible to have a very attractive <br />area and then have surface parking <br />area surrounding it. <br />W. Donaldson: What do the double <br />lines on the map indicate? <br />Mrs. Kolata: They indicate the East <br />Raceway will be located there. <br />They feel that this is going to be <br />such desirable land and that the area <br />is just too valuable for parking and <br />that we do not want to see a large <br />portion of that be required for <br />parking. If somebody chooses to do <br />it on their own, fine, but we can make <br />provisions to have parking other than <br />there. <br />Mr. Robinson: Using Ms. Auburn's theme <br />and being the devil's advocate what <br />happens if we don't obtain the grant <br />to develop that area and Common Council <br />has passed the parking ordinance? <br />Mrs. Kolata: We already have the money <br />for our portion of it. There is an appli- <br />cation in for a grant to open the East <br />Raceway, and that is still in the works <br />right now. Plus there is going to be a <br />bond issue for the Park Department. We <br />have the money and we can draw down the <br />money at any time. <br />-17- <br />
