LOWELL INN EXPANSION
Mr. Art Palmer appeared before the Council to discuss his plans for
developing the parking lot area north of the Lowell Inn. The plans
included private and public improvements (parking lot) estimated to cost
about $247,000. It appeared that the public (City) cost was about $97,000.
The plans basically provided for parking for the Lowell Inn with a
provision for allowing public parking at a fee to the Lowell Inn.
o Councilmember Junker questioned whether or not the City could sell this
property which was given to the City by the Margaret Rivers Foundation.
Councilmember Bodlovick recalled that the City received the property with
no strings attached. Mr. Kriesel said that the City Attorney would have
to determine what conditions, if any, were attached to the donation of the
property by Margaret Rivers. Councilmember Junker said that the Senior
Citizen Center, Conn-Co Shoe Company, and others needed parking spaces and
that some parking should be made available to them. Mayor Peterson
expressed concern about the construction of an expensive controlled access
system that would not pay for itself given the volume of parking patrons
using the facility. He suggested improving the lot, but to leave it as an
open, unmetered lot. Mr. Palmer felt it was a good idea to improve the
whole area, but said the lot needed to be controlled to prevent employees
from using the lot.
Motion by Councilmember Kimble, seconded by Councilmember Bodlovick to approve
the development concept submitted by Mr. Palmer and to have the City Attorney
prepare a development agreement for the proposal. (All in favor)
Mr. Balyeat said that this would qualify as a tax increment financing
project and he would talk to Ron Langness of Springsted Corporation to
work out the details.
