419 <br /> <br />6. MAT'FERS CONTINUED FOR DECISION <br /> <br />Item (xi <br />Deeisi0n on Main Street Desin Issues (SR93:53) <br /> <br /> Mr. Swirl presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver declared the public hearing open on the application. <br /> <br /> Ruby Greer, 444 Main Street, (A video was shown of the mock-up of Main Street). She <br />asked that Council not change what has been adopted by the previous Council and to approve <br />the bulb-outs. <br /> <br /> Frank Brandes Jr., 6889 Corte Sonada, representing A1 Bronzini, spoke in opposition to <br />having bulb-outs and pop-outs on Main Street. (Photographs were given to Council of other <br />cities' bulb-outs). Mr. Brandes encouraged Council to proceed with this plan because of the <br />effect that it has on the businesses downtown. He was opposed to the bulb-outs and wanted to <br />preserve the historical nature. <br /> <br /> Brian Dutchover 5579 San Antonio Street, reiterated the process that Council has gone <br />through to reach this plan. If Council wanted to preserve downtown with no changes, it should <br />have given the direction. <br /> <br /> Dave Waldin, 3899 Vine Street, spoke in opposition to changing this plan at this time. <br />He did not feel that Council should revisit this project without reevaluating the entire project or <br />the compromises that went into its design. He believed that it is wrong for Council to revisit <br />issues that the last Council settled. <br /> <br /> Gary Dove, 5267 Meadowwood Court, agreed with the previous speakers' comments. <br />He briefly explained how this project was originally planned to be oriented for pedestrians; now <br />Council appears to be more concerned about cars. <br /> <br /> Angelina Summers, 4750 Suttergate Avenue, was concerned that her workplace currently <br />has no handicapped parking. She was aware of a survey that was done by Ms. Seribner and <br />asked for the results of that survey. <br /> <br /> There being no further testimony, Mr. Tarver declared the public hearing dosed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr did not support this change if it would cause a delay in the project. She was <br />not as concerned with the bulb-outs as she was with the pop-outs. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico was not in favor of delaying the process but believed that Council has not taken <br />any action to reflect a delay. He felt that it was important to make the right changes because <br />it would be a permanent one. <br /> <br />02/02/93 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
