Commissioner Brown: Okay, so again, if you wanted to build a war chest so to speak associated with building a parking structure, it would make sense to make sure those in- lieu fees are reflecting and representative of the money you will have to spend to build that parking structure. So I agree with everyone else that I think it should be put to the question as to what is the relative priority compared to the other things on the docket. Commissioner Balch: You know, boy, you know one of the things I want to, maybe for myself without necessarily knowing where everyone is at, I apologize because when this was separated I didn't realize, and I started picking this up in detail just a few days ago, but you know, in terms of the transportation corridor parking behind Cole's, I think lower hanging fruit and that type of stuff in terms of where you're focusing on, you know, unfortunately it's not this or that. It's not a serial process. It can be a parallel process. You know, that and some bike racks plus .... I think you guys when I read this, you've got a lot of great stuff. I don't want to necessarily usurp what you've prioritized and what you can accomplish right away with low dollars and get good bang for the time and energy. What I think I'm at with in -lieu is like I mentioned, when would ever be the time you would start? In light of the reference around this topic, I think now is good personally. Bonn: So maybe in recognition of some of the discussion and in recognition that this isn't necessarily going to address fully the discussion you'd like to have for in -lieu fees, just for reference purposes, the costs that were assumed for the parking structures assume $23,000 for an above ground space and $39,000 for the subterranean spaces. So I'm just throwing that out there in case that puts the $19,000 into perspective. Commissioner Brown: It doesn't include land then. Bonn: Right, it doesn't include the land or any other costs. Commissioner Brown: That's what I mean. There's a term we use in my business which is fully loaded cost. When we talk about head counts and benefits and so on, it needs to be fully loaded costs because you're choosing to approve a project that allows more residential in favor of a parking spot, so it needs to be fully loaded costs including parking, the land and business. Commissioner Balch: You're probably preaching to the choir on this one as I'm thinking about it more. Beaudin: I don't think we're opposed at all to the idea of studying that number. I just need to get that into the plan and into the overall policy guidance from the City Council and you know we've got a majority of the team here tonight and we all have projects going. Chair Ritter: I think you have nearly 100 percent of the team, but so we know that, other priority that I think Commissioner Balch brought up was I think the corridor. That's huge and would get an instant bang for the buck and its right down at the south end of the Main Street so you get a lot of people walking across for concerts in the park. Commissioner Brown: Are we talking about a Class I trail? Chair Ritter: No, it's along the ditch. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 24, 2016 Page 31 of 39
