WHEREAS, on May 17, 2018 the Stillwater Downtown Parking Commission
considered the request and found that: 1) improvements have been made to the public

commercial and residential properties at 350 North Main Street have sufficient parking
in their two garages to exceed the amount of parking required by the City Zoning Code;
and therefore recommended that the City Council delete the condition; and

and received public testimony, and at the time agreed that the design of the commercial
space was not intended for use by the general public, but none the less believed that
