Chairperson Getty said the west side of Peters is the only thing to <br />look at now, but it might be a good idea to hold off on the whole <br />thing until the Chamber of Commerce task force is formed the end <br />of November 1981. <br />Commissioner Jamieson asked about the railroad consolidation. Mr. <br />Harris said there have been no official announcements as to when <br />this is going to happen. <br />Commissioner Jamieson said that deferment might be in order in view <br />of the Chamber's task force, railroad consolidation, etc. <br />Karen Campbell, 414 Division Street, spoke stating that the Commission <br />is not considering the types of people who purchase homes in the area, <br />young families just starting out, elderly, etc. She said the commercial/ <br />retail area expands 'just a little more - just a little more.' <br />Chairperson Getty pointed out that if a new home were put on one of the <br />vacant lots on Peters, they would cost just as much as new ones anywhere <br />else in town. <br />Commissioner Jamieson indicated the Commission is concerned with the <br />matter addressed by Ms. Campbell and the question is still 'what is <br />proper for the west side of Peters Avenue?' <br />Mr. Harris stated he would like to see a study incorporated into the <br />work of the task force and they will be coming back with a comprehensive <br />overall downtown report on parking but that this matter still doesn't <br />necessarily address the west side of Peters Avenue. <br />DISPOSITION OF CITY-OWNED PROPERTY AT PETERS AND ROSE AVENUES <br />(4800 sq. ft.) <br />Mr. Harris presented the staff report and stated the City Council wants <br />comments of the Planning Commission with regard to this small parcel <br />concerning an assessment district. <br />Commissioner Lindsey stated he concurs with the staff recommendation <br />inasmuch as Mike Harris is trying to form a parking assessment district <br />in the area. <br />A motion was made by Commisisoner Lindsey, seconded by Commissioner <br />Doherty that the staff recommendation concerning Peters and Rose Avenues <br />be accepted and recommended to the City Council. <br />ROLL CALL VOTE <br />Ayes: Commissioners Doherty, Jamieson, Lindsey and Chairperson Getty <br />Noes: None <br />Absent: Commissioner Wilson <br />Abstain: None <br />-5- <br />.
