AGENDA ITEMS:
432 Baden Discussion: Commission Secretary Van Duyn stated that there
is no progress on the acquisition of this site. He stated that there are now
four properties for sale on Baden. The owners of 432 Baden originally
wanted more money than the appraised value. The City then began looking
at acquiring 438 Baden. Once the owners of 432 Baden discovered that the
City was looking at acquiring other property and made a counter offer.
Currently the City is assessing costs for relocation. The 432 Baden property
has two structures both of which are rentals and would involve relocating
tenants in both structures. The 438 Baden property is occupied by the
Page 1
11/12/96 PPC Meeting
owner and a tenant and would require relocating only the tenant. Analysis
of these relocations is currently being performed. Chair Giusti asked if the
City was going to purchase both sites. Secretary Van Duyn responded that
he did not believe the City would acquire both properties. Commissioner
Peterson asked which of the two lots is larger. Secretary Van Duyn replied
that both properties were the same in size. Commissioner Peterson asked
what was the cost of the properties. Secretary Van Duyn replied that the
purchase price would be approximately $275,000. He stated that he would
keep the Commission informed of any developments
Lot #9 Status Report: Commission Secretary Van Duyn stated that the
surfacing of the lot is complete. There is some problem with the striping of
it but should be completed this week and the meter poles installed on the
corner lot. There seems to be a problem as to which plans the contractor is
using as it relates to the striping for handicapped parking. Also, the
contractor does not wish to stripe the lot until the landscaping is completed.
The projected completion date is Friday, November 22. Commissioner
Peterson asked if there is a Federal mandate as to the number of
handicapped parking spaces required. Secretary Van Duyn replied that
there is a standard for buildings but for public parking lots, he was unsure,
although the City has a policy to put them in all of their lots and that there is
no charge. There will be one in the corner lot and two in the leased lot as
well as a few in the lot at 200 Linden.
First Interstate Bank - Status Report: Commission Secretary Van Duyn
stated that the project is complete. The Commission stated that the building
looks very nice and likes the way it was painted. Secretary Van Duyn stated
that the parking lot was seal coated last week with two coats and was striped
this morning. The Parking District paid for the seal coating and striping of
this lot which totaled approximately $3,000. The funds used were surplus
from the slurry seal project for all lots within the district that occurred earlier
this year and that funds are still available. The poles and meters will be
installed and the lot opened on Friday, November 15. Chair Giusti asked
what type of meters would be installed. Secretary Van Duyn said that the
manual meters would be installed at 200 Linden. He stated that the
landscaping that was planted was paid for by the Redevelopment Agency.
Secretary Van Duyn stated that, although not on the agenda, he wanted to inform the
Commission that the City is looking at purchasing the lot located at Pine and Linden for
potential parking purposes in connection with the possible purchase of 616 Linden Avenue.
The lot has been appraised and an offer made to the owner. The owner has made a
counter offer and it is being looked into. The counter offer is higher than expected and the

AGENDA ITEMS:
432 Baden Discussion: Commission Secretary Van Duyn stated that the City
Council had authorized Staff to make an offer to purchase this property. The
owners rejected the City's offer siting that they wanted in excess of
$300,000. Staff stated that the property is not worth the asking price and
would not seek acquisition at this time

bo
do
Baden and is obtaining an appraisal of this property which is a single family
dwelling. An update will be provided at the next Commission meeting.
Lot #9 Status Report: Commission Secretary Van Duyn stated that the work
on the corner lot and leased lot has restarted. The work was delayed due to
a dispute between Mr. Giorgi and his contractor. The contractor was not
under a contract with Mr. Giorgi and the work is performed as time allows
between other jobs. The City has been informed that the lots will be finished
by October 22. An updated will be provided at the next Commission
meeting.
Lot #13 Meter Removal - Discussion: Mike Premenko stated that all 10
meters have been removed from this lot and that is totally full with permit
parked vehicles. He has received comments from various individuals stating
that they are pleased with this change.
First Interstate Bank - Status Report: Commission Secretary Van Duyn
stated that escrow closed October 8. Work is beginning on the interior of the
building to accommodate the Grand Avenue Library during its retrofit period.
The exterior painting and parking lot resurfacing will occur over the next 3-5
weeks. A lot of landscaping needs to occur as well as patching and repairing
of the parking lot. Poles and posts will be removed in the lot and angle
parking will be striped. This lot will be all metered as daily permits with
signage indicating Library parking only. There should be approximately 36
parking spaces, 14 on the lot closest to the building and 22 on the far lot.
Commissioner Peterson asked how long the Library would be occupying the
building. Commission Secretary Van Duyn stated that the Library would be
there a minimum of 6 months. He was asked if City Hall staff would also
move into the building when the retrofit occurs. Commission Secretary Van
Duyn stated that it was now known at this time if City Hall staff would be
required to move and that the Engineering Division was looking at structural
alternatives for City Hall as it relates to the retrofitting. Long term use of this
building has not been determined due to the fact that City staff could occupy
this site for approximately the next 2 years.
Holiday Parking - Discussion: Commission Secretary Van Duyn directed the
Commission to his memorandum of October 8, regarding the 1996 Holiday
Parking Waiver and his recommendation to approve a motion to waive 2-
hour on street parking meter fees. A motion was made by Commissioner
Peterson and seconded by Commissioner Ziegler to waive 2-hour on street
parking meter fees for the period beginning Monday, December 16, 1996,
through Saturday, January 4, 1996, in the entire Parking District. Parking

enforcement officers will continue to cite vehicles occupying the free on-
street metered spaces for more than two hours.
5. CORRESPONDENCE: None
6. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS:
The Commission discussed Mayor Drago's memorandum regarding parking
citations given to vendors and contractors with commercial licenses. The Mayor
has requested that the Parking Authority research this issue to determine if other
cities are exempting vendors and contractors with commercial licenses from parking
tickets because they are performing services to the downtown businesses.
Commission Secretary Van Duyn stated that he has solicited comments from Mike
Premenko and Officer Dickson regarding the Mayor's memorandum and will provide
a response to him based on their research.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further items for discussion, the meeting was
adjourned at 5:33 p.m., to November 12, 1996, 5:00 p.m.

AGENDA REVIEW:
No changes.
AGENDA ITEMS:
432 Baden Discussion: Commission Secretary Van Duyn stated that the City
Council authorized that an offer be made to purchase this property and that
an offer was made. It is anticipated that the offer will be accepted because
the offer is at the appraised value of the property and the owner has been
very cooperative and is interested in selling. Currently preparing to place
under contract a firm to relocate the current tenants located at this site.
Chair Giusti asked if the neighbors are aware that the City is purchasing this
Page 1
9/10/96 PPC Meeting
property and that it is going to be demolished. Secretary Van Duyn stated
that the neighbors are not aware at this time because the offer has not been
accepted. Once the owners agree to the purchase price, then this item will
be scheduled for a regular City Council meeting. The Council will take
official action and a notice will be sent. Commissioner Peterson asked if this
site was a single family dwelling. Secretary Van Duyn responded that it is
a two unit structure and the occupants are renters. An update will be
provided to the Commission at the next regular meeting.
Lot #9 Status Report: Commission Secretary Van Duyn stated that the work
on this lot has not been completed. Under the agreement the City has with
Mr. Giorgi, he is to have the work performed and the City will pay for the
completion of the work based on a contract he was to have with a paving
contractor. It is the City's understanding that the contractor was pulled off of
the work at Lot #9 to do other emergency work elsewhere. Recently there
has been some debate with the contractor and the Engineering Division as
to the financing arrangements as to how the contractor would get paid. The
contractor is concerned that they have not seen any money and wondering
why they have not been paid. The contractor has been informed that the
structure of the agreement between the City and Mr. Giorgi was that Mr.
Giorgi contracts with the contractor to do the work. Mr. Giorgi is to pay the
contractor and the City would reimburse Mr. Giorgi based on submitted
receipts and invoices. Until the City sees these items and some acceptance
of the work, the City will not pay any monies. It appears that Mr. Giorgi has
failed to inform his contractor of this condition. Commissioner Peterson
asked if Secretary Van Duyn knew when the work would be completed. He
responded by saying that he has no idea of the timing for the completion of
the work. Secretary Van Duyn was going to call the contractor today, but
was asked by the Engineering Division to hold off on that call until they can
assess the issues that they have with the work. He stated that if the
agreement needs to be changed, then Staff will need to go back to the City
Council for approval of a new agreement.
Secretary Van Duyn reported that there was some good news as far as work
being done for the electrical work for the signalization improvements for the
right turn lane. There has been some work done by the paving contractor as
of today, so work has not totally stopped. It is the City's intent to move the
work along as rapidly as possible.
Lot #13 Meter Removal - Discussion: Mike Premenko made a suggestion to
remove the 10 meters on Lot #13 and make the parking lot all permit parking.
Only four of the 10 meters are used primarily at the lunch hour. Since the
Page 2
9/10/96 PPC Meeting
First Interstate Bank building appears to be progressing and Lot #9A will be
completed soon he suggested that the meters be removed. Secretary Van
Duyn agreed with Mike Premenko's suggestion on the strength that Lot #9A
will have both permit and meter parking.
Motion made by Commissioner Ziegler/Second by Commissioner Peterson
that the existing meters at Lot #13 be removed and convert the lot to all
permit parking.
First Interstate Bank - Status Report: Commission Secretary Van Duyn
stated that the City's offer has been accepted by Wells Fargo Bank. The City
had to go through the formality of sending in an amended counteroffer
approved by the Council. The City has received a letter confirming a closing
date in December. There is a difficulty with this closing date because a
condition of the City Council's approval was that the City would have the First
Interstate Bank building in time to provide for the temporary housing of the
Library while it is going under seismic retrofit work. He stated that he heard
on September 9 that Wells Fargo is aware of the City's problem with the
Library move and is considering moving the close date up to October.
Confirmation should occur in the next several days.
The immediate proposal for the First Interstate parking lot is to make the
primary portion of it metered. Secretary Van Duyn stated that discussion
needs to occur with the Library, Police Department and others as to how the
remaining portion should be designed. There may be an opportunity to
sublet the automated teller machine which would affect the parking
requirements. If there is no sublet opportunity, angle parking may be placed
on a portion of the lot as well as some short term meters for Library visiting
purposes. These issues should be clarified by the next Parking Place
Commission meeting. Secretary Van Duyn stated that as soon as the City
takes possession of the First Interstate Bank building, it will be signed and
as many meters as possible will be installed.
eo
Holiday Parking - Discussion: Commission Secretary Van Duyn stated that
he had been briefed by Mike Premenko regarding past years' practices.
Mike Premenko had suggested to Secretary Van Duyn that the Commission
approve a blanket holiday parking benefit for all of the district meters. The
dates suggested for this benefit would be from Monday, December 16, 1996,
through Saturday, January 4, 1997. The Commission agreed that all two
hour on-street meters within the entire district be included in this program
during the dates suggested. Secretary Van Duyn requested that the
Commission allow Staff to place this item on the next agenda as "Holiday
Parking, 2 hour meters - December 16, 1996 through January 4, 1997".

AGENDA ITEMS:
a. 432 Baden Acquisition: Commission Secretary Van Duyn stated that he had
previously spoken to the Commission regarding acquiring additional lots for
parking on the 400 block of Baden. Staff has been requested by the owner
of 432 Baden to review that site for acquisition by the City. An appraisal has
been performed with a value of $260,000 for the site. This item will be on the
City Council's Executive Session on August 14. If the Council wishes to
acquire the property, it would be purchased and probably improved with
Page 1
8113/96 PPC Meeting
Redevelopment Agency funds unless the Council wants to expand the
parking district. Once the City owns the property, they can petition to expand
the parking district boundaries. If the parking district is not expanded, Staff
would recommend that the lot be administrated by the Parking Place
Commission. Staff believes that this lot would have approximately 20
spaces. Commission Secretary Van Duyn stated that he and Bob Beyer
personally surveyed a good portion of the businesses on Grand Avenue.
The interest expressed was very positive for a parking lot and that it should
be all day parking or monthly parking. Staff will report back to the
Commission as to the Council's decision. There will be some difficulties with
this lot because there is a house on it that needs to be demolished and the
tenants need to be relocated. Chair Giusti asked if the lot would be permit
parking. Staff responded that was the intention at this time.
Lot #9 Status Report: Commission Secretary Van Duyn stated that the work
has begun on the lots with concrete being poured. The deadline for the
completion of the improvements is September 9, 1996. Based on the
progress so far, it should be completed by the deadline date. Chair Giusti
asked why there was a deadline. Staff stated that in order to expedite the
work, the City agreed to have Mr. Giorgi contract to have the work performed
but there had to be a date of completion in the formal agreement. Lot ~ has
been closed because of this agreement. Once the land transfers ownership,
the City lost the public parking privilege for the lot. The City did get a break
in respect to parking at the First Interstate Bank building, which is item #4d
on the agenda. Staff requested that item be discussed next. Chair Giusti
agreed that item g4d could be discussed next but had one question in
regards to Lot #9. She wanted to know if the alleyway behind the City's old
Lot #9 will still be accessible for people to walk to Airport Boulevard. Staff
stated that Mr. Giorgi has plans to redesign portions of the lot but not close
the alleyway. Mr. Giorgi's plan is to remove the concrete island and put in
perpendicular spaces down both sides of the lot.
First Interstate Bank - Status: Commission Secretary Van Duyn stated that
when the bank moved out in July, people began parking in the First
Interstate Bank parking lot at no cost. The City has dghts to use that parking
lot according to the agreement with First Interstate Bank. The agreement
basically states that when the parking lot is not used for bank business
purposes the City has the right to use it for public parking and can charge
for it. The City has decided not to enforce any type of paid parking at this
site at the current time because of the construction of the new lot at Baden
and Linden and the possible purchase of the First Interstate Bank site. The
City should be informed in the next few days whether the City has been
Page 2
8/13/96 PPC Meeting
awarded the purchase. The purchase of the entire site would use
Redevelopment funds. If the City is awarded the purchase, the building
would be used to house the Library during its retrefit. As far as the parking
spaces are concerned, the spaces that hug the building would be designated
as short term meters for people visiting the Library. The remaining spaces
would be designated as two hour meters.
Co
Slurry Seal Improvements - Status: Mike Premenko reported that all lots
have been sealed and the lots on Baden have been striped as well as Lot 13
on Miller and Lot 4 on Grand. He said that the company hired to perform the
work did a great job and followed his plan that was presented during the
preconstruction meeting. All lots will be finished at 10 a.m. on Thursday,
August 15. There was one preblem with Lot 12 where the surface sank due
to the weight of the truck on it. The area is approximately 40 feet long and
10 feet wide. Apparently there is a water leak under the surface and the
weight of the truck caused one section to sink and raise another section. He
contacted Engineering immediately who barricaded it off because it is a
hazard. Public Works Department will tear it up to determine the cause of
the problem. There was also a problem with traffic because the sealing of
the alleyways was not coordinated with the sealing of the parking lots. There
was also an initial preblem with the striping because a 72-hour notice was
to be given which did not occur. Fortunately, Staffwas aware of the potential
problem and removed the notices in a timely manner as not have all the
parking lots closed at once thereby eliminating complaints. Secretary Van
Duyn stated that there was some good news as far as the cost of the
program. He had received an Engineer's breakdown on the cost of the
program. The cost for the Parking District lots excluding administrative
expenses is $10,816. Mike Premenko was complimented on his efforts on
staying on top of the project and ensuring that things went as smooth as they
did. Mike Premenko stated that the lots should last about 10 years. He
suggested that the next time the lots are sealed that they be done on a
staggered basis and not all at once.
5. CORRESPONDENCE: None
6. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: None
Other Discussion:
Mike Premenko stated that Lot #13 at Cypress and Miller currently has ten meters in it. If
the City acquires the First Interstate Bank preperty, the meters should be removed and the
entire lot converted to permit parking only. This item will be placed on the agenda for the
next regular meeting of the Commission.
Page 3
8/13/96 PPC Meeting
Chair Giusti asked if Lot #13 was used by Genentech this year. Mike Premenko stated that
they did not. Genentech used the lot behind States Tavern and Lot #1. Chair Giusti asked
if Genentech poked holes in the lot for their tent. Mike Premenko said that they did but the
holes were fixed. Commission Secretary Van Duyn apologized to the Commission for not
having a special meeting regarding "Genentech Comes to Town." He had been informed
by the Manager's office that the matter was taken care of and presumed that this item did
not have to come back to the Commission annually. He assured the Commission that this
oversight would not happen again. Initially Genentech was going to require a lot only one
day, but subsequently shut down the lot for three days.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further items for discussion, the meeting was

CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING TRANSFER OF LOT #9.
AND AUTHORIZATION OF FUNDS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF A NEW LOT
AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF BADEN AND LINDEN AVENUES.
Commission Secretary Marty Van Duyn spoke to the Commission on this item. He
stated that Staff is requesting that the Commission approve the authorization of the
transfer of lot #9 to the corner lot as well as funding for the improvements of the new
lot. A correction that needs to be made in the resolution is in regards to the cost of
said improvements from the approximate cost of $50,000 based on the Engineer's
estimate in the original resolution, to $69,700 which is taken from the actual bid that
Page 1
6/11/96 PPC Meeting
was received from Mr. Giorgi. The Commission asked if Mr. Giorgi was suppose
to put money up front first and then be reimbursed by the City. The Secretary
stated that there is a reimbursement agreement with Mr. Giorgi. His portion of the
agreement is to dedicate the corner property and also contribute the right of way
totaling approximately $50,000. The difference in the costs of improvements is from
the Engineer's estimate and the actual bid amount that Mr. Giorgi received from
Interstate Grading, which is the company the City recommended to Mr. Giorgi. The
Secretary stated that when he originally presented this item to the Commission, he
estimated that the cost would be approximately $70,000.
The comer parking lot will be broken out with 11 spaces metered and the remainder
for permits totaling 25 spaces. The Secretary explained that the current Lot #9 has
meters that are not being filled and is felt that situation may change because people
are parking illegally now on the dirt lot. The Commission asked if the lot was used
before when the gas station was there. Officer Dickson commented that the gas
station had towed cars off their lot and that Lot 9 is a daily permit lot as well as
metered. When Mr. Giorgi takes Lot 9 and turns it into parking for his building and
the City takes the corner lot and uses it for public parking, there will be a different
type of use because there will be no other choice or alternative for people but to use
the City lot since there will be no dirt lot available for free parking. The Commission
asked if there will be a red box available to purchase daily permits. The Secretary
responded that there will be a red box from which to purchase permits. He
explained that part of the theory is that the meters that are on existing lot 9 are not
being used to capacity, the current number of metered spaces is 4 or 5. The
number of meters spaces on the new lot will increase to 11 and, if the demand
arises, the entire corner lot would be metered. It is felt to be easier to add meters
than to remove them from lots.
The Commission asked about the resolution and what had been changed. The
Secretary responded that the only change to the resolution was the dollar amount
from $50,000 to $69,700. Commission asked if the dollar amount included the
landscaping or if that work was going to be performed by City staff. The Secretary
responded that the landscaping work was part of the bid and would be performed
by Interstate Grading although the City would maintain it. The work on the parking
lot should begin within 30 days.
Commissioner Ziegler made a motion to accept the resolution to approve the
creation of a new parking lot replacing current parking lot #9 and provide Parking
District funds for the improvement of said parking lot to be located at the southeast
corner of Baden and Linden Avenues. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Peterson seconded the motion and was approved.

VI.
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE USE OF PROPERTY ADJACENT TO
PARKING LOT #9 AS A LIMITED TERM PUBLIC PARKING LOT ADDED TO
PARKING DISTRICT NO. 1 AND DESIGNATING SAID LOT AS PARKING LOT
#gA.
Secretary Van Duyn explained that this resolution will officially designate the new
leased lot as Lot #9A. Once the City has acquired, paved and improved it, the
Parking District will manage this lot and that it will be added to the Parking District
inventory. Under the terms of the lease, the Parking District will operate and
manage it as they would any other public lot under their jurisdiction including any
changes in the future such as adding meters or changing the space designations.
The lease is for three years and it is believed that the lease will be extended
because of the option to renew in the agreement with Mr. Giorgi. The Commission
asked who owns this property. The Secretary said that Mr. Giorgi owns the property
and that the City will be leasing it.
Commissioner Peterson made a motion to approve the use of property adjacent to
parking lot #9 (APN 012-335-600) as a limited term public parking lot added to
Parking District No. 1 and designating said lot as parking lot 9A. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Ziegler and was carried.
CORRESPONDENCE None
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Discussion of proposed ordinance amendments related to attendance of board
members/commissioners occurred. The Secretary explained that ordinances have
been drafted for all boards and commissions in the City. He explained that the draft
ordinance amends the Parking Place Commission ordinance in two areas. One
being that the council can declare a vacancy for a commissioner's failure to attend
three consecutive regular meetings rather than four in the existing ordinance and
the second being that wording has been added to include failure to attend more
than one-third of the regular meetings within a rolling twelve month period can also
cause a vacancy. A copy of the Commission's attendance was given to all
Commissioners. They were informed that their attendance would be recorded by
the Department of Economic and Community Development and would be provided
to the Manager's office as needed.
First Interstate Bank: The Secretary stated that the City has been trying to get a
lead on the First Interstate Bank property. The City has recently been informed that
it is going to be sold and will be told what the set price is for the property. Once the
asking price is determined, the Council will be informed and, if they want to pursue
Page 3
6/11/96 PPC Meeting
the purchase of this property, including the parking lot, then an offer will be made
for the property. The City would like to purchase the property, keep the parking lot
and place the lot in the Parking District.
Croatian Hall Building: The Commission inquired as to what, if anything, was going
to be done to this building. A suggestion was made to create little shops in this
building that could attract customers for the downtown area. The Secretary
responded that he did not know what was going to happen with that building but he
did state that a proposal is going to the Council/Redevelopment Agency authorizing
a contract with Economic Development Systems to provide a retail recruitment and
revitalization plan for the downtown area. This firm specializes in marketing and
leasing difficult properties in commercial areas that have had problems leasing and
improving the kind of retail usage for commercial corridors or downtown areas. This
company finds users and sit down with building owners and agents and structure
deals for long term leases. This in turn could lead to the Commission to acquiring
and managing additional parking lots or converting existing permit spaces to
metered.
The Commission asked if they could control the type of business entering the
downtown area. The Secretary stated that to a certain extent the Commission has
some control by not granting parking exceptions because the district would not have

Motion-Commissioner Peterson/Second Chair Giusti: To approve the minutes of April 9,
1996.
CORRESPONDENCE: None.
ITEMS FOR ACTION:
Recommendation for a five-space parking exception for Mr. Giorgi's showroom at 211
Linden Avenue.
Commission Secretary Marty Van Duyn spoke to the Commission on this item. He
explained that the City has recently granted Mr. Giorgi some Redevelopment funds and
matching grants to allow him to renovate this building for purposes of his use for future
retailing efforts. The site has been left unattended and has structural problems related to
Page 1
5/13/96 PPC Meeting
earthquake preparedness. The building needed retrofitting for earthquake purposes in
order to be declared consistent with current law. The City has entered into an agreement
with Mr. Giorgi and the building will be improved and converted for more furniture
showroom space. Mr. Giorgi is requesting and petitioning the Commission to grant him an
exception to the five-space parking requirement for that furniture showroom. Staff Report
has been submitted to the Commission. The project is 3300 s.f. in area. There is public
parking available in Lot #9 and on-street parking spaces that are metered throughout the
area. Commissioner Peterson asked if there was going to be any selling of furniture from
211 Linden. Staff stated that there may be some retailing, but the primary purpose of this
building is to be a furniture showroom. Staff also informed the Commission that there will
be a significant number of additional parking spaces in connection with the land swap with
Mr. Giorgi. Also, the parking lot adjacent to First Interstate Bank is located across the
street. The City has an easement over that parking lot and as part of that easement
obligation, the City controls that parking lot for purposes of its public use after hours,
weekends and non-bank business hours, so this parking lot is also available for consumers
to use adding another element of available parking after hours. Staff, therefore,
recommends the Commission grant this exception.
Commissioner Peterson moved to accept Staff's recommendation to grant the five-space
parking exception. Motion - Commissioner Peterson/Second - Chair Giusti.
Recommendation for a thirty-five space parking exception for Palm Village Restaurant at
398 Grand Avenue.
The Commission asked if the Palm Village Restaurant on Spruce was going to be closed.
Staff responded that all the indications to the City indicate that this will be a second
restaurant for the Palm Village Restaurant.
Commission Secretary Marty Van Duyn spoke to the Commission on this item. He
explained that the owner of the Palm Village Restaurant is requesting a thirty-five space
parking exception to allow for a new sit down restaurant at 398 Grand Avenue.
Commissioner Peterson commented as to the fact that there could be problems with
parking when the Nauman Lincoln Roos Funeral Parlor has services in the evening and
the restaurant is open at the same time. Staff explained that the restaurant would be open
until 9:00 p.m. and the lot could be full causing parking problems, although the City Hall
lot is also available as well as street parking. If the restaurant is successful, there could
be some strain on patrons and they might be required to walk a block or two. Staff also
stated that the City's parking meter rates are very generous and comfortable as far as time
to money ratio. Staff stated that the request for the thirty-five space exception is based on
a maximum occupancy load for the .restaurant. The peak times of day for parking would
most likely be during the lunch hour and early evening for dinner.

5/13/96 PPC Meeting
Staff stated that they are looking for additional parking lots and is still pursuing purchasing
a lot on the 400 block of Baden, although all attempts at purchasing property or obtaining
easements have been unsuccessful. Based on all of this information, Staff recommends
that the Commission grant this exception.
Chair Giusti moved to accept Staff's recommendation to grant the thirty-five space parking
exception. Motion - Chair Giusti/Second - Commissioner Peterson.
Commissioner Peterson asked Staff about the status of the $25,000 to resurface the
parking lots. Staff reported that the bid documents were being prepared last week and
should go out to bid in the next week.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further items for discussion, the meeting was

Staff will continue working on this area.

4/9/96 PPC Meeting
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS (continued)
Giorgi Property Exchange and 200 Block of Grand Avenue: Staff stated that the City
currently owns Parking Lot #9 with 22 spaces, 18 of which are monthly/daily and 4 are
metered. The Parking District manages this lot. Staff is working on an arrangement with
Mr. Giorgi to swap his property located on the corner of Linden and Baden, which is a 75
x 140 square foot lot, with the City-owned parking lot #9. Both lots are equal in size. The
two lots in between these, which Mr. Giorgi owns, would be taken back by the City on a
lease basis for a minimum of 3 years. Mr. Giorgi wishes to expand his facilities from south
to north on Baden ultimately building a facility that would capture all the property up to the
comer parking lot. Mr. Giorgi would put in his own parking facility off the alleyway. Staff
reported that one of the objectives of this project is to clean up the corner lot and obtain
some temporary parking from the two lots that would be taken back on the lease basis.
The two lots measure 100 feet wide by 140 feet deep. This property would be managed
by the District as well as the new corner lot. Preliminary plans from Engineering for this
site were presented. Staff reported that no agreements have been signed, but once that
point is reached, the Commission would need to adopt resolutions accepting the transfer
of the properties and determine what the parking facilities on the site would be; the
metering, distribution of spaces, number of meters versus number of monthly/daily spaces.
Staff discussed some of the dynamics in regard to this project that do not change the basic
concept. There will still be a 75 foot wide parking lot, approximately 21 spaces for
permanent City lot facility that will replace the existing Lot #9 and a temporary lot leased
for approximately 3 years that has roughly 26 parking spaces located adjacent to the
comer.
Another aspect, which does not affect the parking or change the number of parking
spaces, is that the City Council has the desire to put an additional exclusive right turn lane
on Baden which will take an additional 12 feet of frontage from this property. Mr. Giorgi
is giving the City that 12 feet in exchange for the City incurring the cost for surfacing the
new lot and the meters that are placed on it. The additional parking, that will be leased
from Mr. Giorgi, will be paved at the same time as the corner lot as well as the additional
right turn lane. Resurfacing of existing Lot #9 will be paid out of Redevelopment Agency
funds but the lot would still be managed by the Parking District and would also receive the
revenues from this lot. Landscaping of the perimeter of the new sites as well as lighting
will be performed and maintained by the City. Staff stated that the best cost estimate, as
far as the Parking District's obligation, is roughly $70,000. The Commission inquired if the
work will be contracted out. Staff stated that the City is trying to have Mr. Giorgi contract
the work out in order for it to be done as soon as possible and meet the City's required
specifications.. Staff stated that this concept was submitted to the City Council
approximately one year ago and already has an environmental clearance and prior use
permit approval which can still be used.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS (continued)
211 Linden: Staff reported that Mr. Giorgi has been successful in getting the
Redevelopment Agency to loan some money to rehabilitate the old Melody Paint Building
to bring it back as close to its original design as possible when it was the State's Theater.
Mr. Giorgi's intention is to use it as a showroom and sales for his furniture store. Mr. Giorgi
is looking for an exemption to the parking and, has submitted a letter requesting this
exemption. At the Commission's next regular meeting a request for this exemption will be .
presented.
Staff reported that they have another request for a parking exemption for a Chinese
restaurant on Grand and Maple that will be presented to the Commission at the next
regular meeting.
Commissioner Peterson inquired about an item on the City Council Agenda of April 10
regarding a resolution to increase the penalty for overtime parking. Her concern is that the
Parking Place Commission should be notified before any parking related items are placed
on the Council's agenda. Staff stated that a copy of the Staff Report will be provided to all
members of the Commission and in the future will attempt to inform the Commission in
advance.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further items for discussion, the meeting was
adjourned at 5:48 p.m., to May 14, 1996, 5:00 p.m.

Motion was made, seconded and carried.
AGENDA REVIEW:
No changes.
CORRESPONDENCE:
Secretary Moseley reported that he heard from Dr.
Soohoo following the conclusion of the holiday parking
waiver. A year ago Dr. Soohoo was displeased that the
waiver did not include his business on Baden Avenue.
Dr. Soohoo called to say how pleased he and his
customers were this year and that his thanks be passed
on to the Commission.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS:
Informal discussion of downtown development issues
occurred. Marty Van Duyn, Director of Economic and
Community Development Department, reported that he
and Bob Beyer have been looking at some sites in the
downtown area with the Redevelopment Agency to
secure in the hopes of converting some into additional
parking off street and for downtown users. Several
sites have been identified and sharing of this
information with the Commission, as has been done
with the City Council, is felt to be important. As things
progress, the details, cost, obligation of the
Commission, etc. will be brought before the
Commission for discussion.
Bob Beyer explained the development strategy used in
order to meet the needs of the merchants:
400 Block of Baden Avenue. Not to put additional
parking on Grand Avenue, but behind Grand. Try and
maximize what started with alleyways or walkthroughs.
Have explored with some residents if they are
interested in selling their property. One owner is
interested.
200 Block of Baden Avenue. There is a parcel
available now in this area and is being looked into.
Cypress & Baden. It is feasable to acquire a parcel at
Cypress & Baden Avenue and possibly closing Cypress
and enter into an agreement with the Bank to expand
in the future to erect a parking structure.
Linden Avenue. Wells Fargo and First Interstate
merger could be a new possibility. Bob Beyer has been
asked by the City Manager to begin looking into this
possibility by contacting Wells Fargo. The City could
be placed first on a list to acquire a lot for potential new
parking when one of the branches closes.

parcel. Perhaps the City could trade the City's parcel
for one of his City's that is located in the same block
and work out some sort of lease agreement for other
lots on the same block.
Chairperson Giusti requested and obtained clarification
as to the different parcels' locations. She also asked
about the funding for these efforts and was informed
that the acquisition of the land would use
Redevelopment Agency funds and the development of
the site would use Parking Place funds.

City may go in, if necessary, and do a condemnation action. Nothing has been decided
by the Council at this time. The City cannot pay much more than the appraised value by
law. The Planning Division has been asked to do a study regarding parking conditions in
this area and probably will make a recommendation to expand the Parking District to
include this area. Chair Giusti asked if the Parking District had a budget that allows them
to purchase property or tells them how much is allocated to purchase different items.
Secretary Van Duyn stated that there is a reserve account for the District as well as a
budget. Chair Giusti requested a copy of the budget and a copy of the reserve account
statement be sent to the Commission. Secretary Van Duyn will provide these items to the
Commissioners. Additional discussion occurred regarding the budget.
6. CORRESPONDENCE:
Staff received a copy of a letter that was sent to the Manager's office from an
individual who resides in Brisbane complaining that he had received a citation when
he parked in a lot that did not have a meter. He did not understand how he could
be cited when there were no signs or meters for him to deposit the fee. Staff is
researching this issue to obtain details of the incident.
7. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS:
Secretary Van Duyn stated that there may not be any items from the Staff for next
month's agenda and asked if the Commission had any items to be included. The
Commission had no items for next month's agenda. Commissioner Peterson
suggested that the December meeting be canceled. Secretary Van Duyn
suggested that if something does occur that the Commission needs to meet, a
special meeting can be called. The Commission agreed that the December meeting
be canceled.
