WASHINGTON SQUARE PROJECT
The City Council met with representatives of the Washington Square
Project to discuss the proposed amendments to the project. Comm. Dev.
Director Russell outlined the proposed changes as follows:
(1) Three-level parking garage, (2) conversion of several guest rooms
to condominiums, (3) City to purchase "Nelle property" for $263,000,
which would be used to finance the multiple deck construction, (4)
fallback option, (5) City would own the parking structure, but
developer would own "air rights" over the structure for future
development, and (6) City would own "air rights" over 2nd Street
parking lot.
Mr. Langness stated that according to the County Tax Assessor's
office the requested amount of $2.4 million would not be supported by
current projected taxes. He estimates that there would be a
shortfall of $30,000 per year. This amount would be subject to
changes in interest rates.
.
In response to a question regarding public parking, Mr. Nelson
indicated that any parking areas financed by TIF funds would have to
be available to the public.
Mr. Palmer stated that because of legalities with the bond financing,
he has reconsidered the plans for condo conversion, and is withdrawing
that request. He has also decided to withdraw the new fallback
option.
There was extensive discussion regarding soil borings on the site as
recommended by the City Engineers. Estimated cost of the borings is
$47,000.
