rei ---'\) ( )j rl~ ITEM 5.3. TO: FROM: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL WILLIAM RUBIN, ED COORDINATOdVVL- SEPTEMBER 8, 1993 DATE: SUBJECT: FORMER RAILROAD PROPERTY PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS INTRODUCTION The Elk River City Council will be asked to approve a design for the proposed parking lot improvements at the former railroad property, bounded by Jackson Avenue, U.S. Highway 10, Hunts Feeds, and the railroad tracks. An illustration of the proposed improvements is attached to this memo. BACKGROUND e On September 1st, the Elk River Downtown Development Corporation met to review various illustrations for the Jackson Square parking lot improvement project. Members of the Corporation voted to recommend to the Elk River Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) the design which would enable perpendicular parking on this site. At its meeting on September 7th, the HRA reviewed this illustration and took into consideration the recommendation by the Development Corporation. The HRA voted to recommend that the City Council approve the perpendicular design for parking lot improvements on this site, and, that these improvements occur in conjunction with the activities at Jackson Square. Again, the HRA would be the funding mechanism for this City-owned lot. Funds are available under the HRA's category of parking lot improvements, or, under the category funds reserved for future projects. The HRA's September 7th agenda memo is also included for Council comment. ACTION REQUESTED The Elk River City Council is asked to approve a design for parking lot and landscaping enhancements for the area bounded by Jackson Avenue, U.S. Highway 10, Hunts Feeds, and the railroad tracks. The preferred layout allows for perpendicular parking; however, the Council may choose to approve any design it sees fit. e P.O.
