Bill No. 12-65 This bill requests a special exception for an accessory parking lot for the Army-Navy Garrison#146. Mark Lyons from the building department reported that the BZA offered a favorable recommendation pending the petitioner's agreeing to limit parking to the southern 35 feet of the property. Their being no remonstrators and upon agreement of the petitioners to comply Gavin Ferlic motioned a favorable recommendation subject to all compliances. Councilmember Dr. David Varner seconded and all agreed. Bill No. 12-66 This bill requests approval by the Council of the Howard Park Neighborhood Master Plan. Jitin Cain from the Economic Development Department had presented this request at the last meeting where the Council requested continuance to allow time to address two open issues. The first was a Council question about the economic diversity of the proposed housing component. Jitin said lot size would be the primary determinant of housing cost or affordability. The second issue was the Council's request that there be little if any traffic"calming." Jitin said the arterials would remain free flowing while interior street design would take safety into consideration. During Council questioning Valerie Schey asked if Transpo,which still owns their vacated site was ready to submit and RFP. Jitin said they should be ready by the end of October. Varner expressed a desire that any developer be responsible for infrastructure costs. Derek Dieter echoed Varner's comments. Henry Davis noting that Transpo not the City owned the site wondered why the City was involved at all. Ultimately the fact that Transpo can do as they please and the Master Plan is but a vision or guideline the Council agreed to give no recommendation on a motion by Varner seconded by Gavin Ferlic. There being no further business to come before the committee at this time, Chairperson Oliver Davit' ..u,ed the meeting at 4:23 p.m. N Il Su ed, er J0 is, i •erson Zoning and Annexation Committee
