c. CornTassion authorization requested for a join
res lution between the Redevelopment

setting forth terms and conditions for the
development of certain real property within
the Central Downtown Urban Development Area.
Mr. Hunt explained that the real property
in lved is the lot behind the old Penney's
building that is presently surface parking.
The Commission took action in March passing a
res lution authorizing the sale of that lot to
the Board of Public Works with a long range
development of a municipal parking facility.
Following that action the Board of Public
Works also passed a resolution accepting the
property. This joint resolution is the next
step in finalizing the sale setting terms and
conditions for the development of the
DroDertv.
Ms. Schwartz further explained that the joint
res lution outlines a series of agreements
that have been worked out between the
Department of Economic Development and Board
of Public Works with regard to the kinds of
thi gs that might be happening on that lot.
Basic to that is the establishment of a
par<ing facility advisory committee consisting
of representatives from various relevant
bodies within the City who can bring together
the different points of view for the
development of an affective parking facility.
That group would consider a number of
different factors such as what type of
facility might be developed, what the mix of
fr parking for shoppers and long term
par ing might be, and the possibility of first
f 1 r retail development, to encourage further
retail, folding around from River Bend Plaza
on to Wayne Street. Ms. Schwartz also
ex ained that the final plans will still be

developed downtown. Mr. Radecki stated that
he has contacted two local architectural firms
contracted by the Commission to come up with
plans for the 100 and 200 blocks of South

not asked to incorporate the Museum into these
plans. Mr. Radecki asked that the Commission
begin the planning process to insure the
development of the Studebaker Museum is within
the do town district.
Mr. Hunt stated that in terms of architectural
services the staff did not specifically
outline any type of use that should go into
that area. They architectural firms were
asked to look at the overall area to get input
primarily from people that do business in the
downtovoi area and not go into the planning
process with any preconceived notion or staff
judgment. Mr. Hunt stated that the staff is
not suggesting anything in terms of specific
uses.
