:' Ed Churka indicated the County will not license the property. to a private concern, only <br /> to a public entity. He indicated that any parking lot is temporary and can be removed at any <br /> time to put in railroad tracks. He wanted the parking lot at a level for installation of tracks. <br /> If the lot is paved, he felt it would be a waste of money. He also indicated he would want to <br /> use the parking lot when the historic train comes to town, since the area opposite will be the <br /> staging area. <br /> <br /> Roger Manning, 1300 Happy Valley Road, indicated he works in the building adjacent <br /> to the proposed lot and agreed there is a major impa~t whenever there is a street fair or the <br /> Farmers Market. He supported anything Council can do to add parking. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if there would be a problem leasing the property from the County <br /> and how would the lot be paid for? <br /> <br /> Mr. Lure said the lease was no problem. The lot will be paid for by the City and the <br /> only private contribution so far is Mrs. Dunder's offer of $6,000 for paving. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarper did not want paving. He felt a gravel lot similar to the northern lot would <br /> be sufficient and less expensive. Clearly there is a need for the additional parking; his only <br /> issue is whether to invest in paving and then worry about taking it out. He felt the easier <br />__ process was to have a gravel lot. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if there was a problem with gravel due to the length of the lot from <br /> dust, <br /> <br /> Mr. Lure said there would be no problem with gravel. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Taawer, seconded by Mr. Pko, that the City request a lease <br /> from Alameda County for a gravel parking lot which the City would pay to construct. <br /> <br /> The roll call vote was as follows: <br /> AYES: Councilmembers - Dennis, Michelotti, Pico, and Mayor Tarper <br /> NOES: None <br /> ABSENT: Councilmember Mohr <br /> ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Item 6f <br /> Selection of a permanent name for a five acre neiahborhood park to be located south of <br /> $t0neridge Drive and north of the terminus of Martin Avenue.
