Development and promotion of this vital area of our City is necessary in order to continue to attract fine businesses which Third District augment the natural beauty of this location. John Broden Fourth District Accordingly, I am recommending that the exemption area be increased from the current off-street parking facility requirements. I am recommending David Varner that the area be increased so that the boundaries be expanded to include: as the Fifth District east boundary the first north-south alley east of Niles Avenue; that the north boundary be Crescent Avenue and that the southern boundary be Jefferson Andrew Ujdak Boulevard. Sixth District I have been in contact with several members of the City Administration. Sean Coleman It is my understanding, that an internal parking study of the proposed area is currently being conducted by the staff of the Department of Community and At Large Economic Development. That study will be forwarded to the Area Plan Commission and the Common Council in time for the public hearings on this john xosinski proposed ordinance. At Large Rod Sniadecki I further understand that under current Indiana state law, an ordinance of At Large this nature must be recommended by a majority of the Common Council to the Area Plan Commission. At the August 11, 1997 Common Council meeting, I Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand plan to make a motion indicating that a majority of the Council does recommend council Attorney this ordinance for consideration to the Area Plan Commission. I will ask the City Clerk s office to forward a written copy of that motion, along with the proposed ordinance, when they are both forwarded to the Commission along with this letter.
