STAFF REPORT
Court Street Parking Lot and Barrier Wall
Staff seeks direction from the Community Development Commission as to
the level of improvements to be made to Court Street Parking Lot and as
to its preference regarding the barrier wall between the parking lot
and the Great Western Bank building, possibly adding stairs to connect
the parking lot to the bank building.
Parking Lot
Staff has estimated a cost of $155,000 for minimal improvement to the
Court Street Parking Lot. The improvements include a one inch overlay
of asphalt, minimal lighting, and a few boxed trees for shading.
Recently, questions have surfaced as to the adequacy of proposed
improvements on the parking lot. Currently, the parking lot is in a
very poor state of repair, requiring much more excavation and
renovation than originally envisioned. By developement code standards
more trees are required to comply with existing landscaping
requirements. Drainage on the site is poor and new grades will need to
be engineered.
Staff seeks direction from the Committee as to the level of
improvements desired.
Great Western Barrier Wall
Inquiries have been made as to the possibility of demolishing the
barrier wall separating the Court Street Parking Lot from the Great
Western Court. Staff has confirmed that the wall is the property of
Great Western and is making inquiries with Great Western personnel
about the possibility of demolishing the wall. A portion of the wall
which shields the parking garage ramp will need to remain intact. It
is feasible that the barrier wall can be demolished to the existing
parking lot grade.
In order to make a more effective transition between the parking lot
and the Great Western Court, a small staircase should be added for
pedestrians who may wish to use the parking lot and directly access the
bank building from its westerly entrance. Also, the demolition of this
wall will enhance security for the bank in that the court will no
longer be shielded from public view.

DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT
RE: COURT STREET PARKING LOT AND BARRIER WALL
April 15, 1993
Page Number —2—
Staff seeks direction from the Commission as to whether serious
negotiations with Great Western Bank should commence and involve its
personnel at the management level in order to carry out the
Commission's wishes. On April 15, 1993, the Redevelopment Committee
recommended the Commission approve the staff form motion.
It is, therefore, the recommendation of staff that the Community
Development Commission provide direction to staff as to the level of
improvements desired, and authorize the Executive Director to request
preliminary bids from qualified firms for the design of Court Street
Parking Lot, the demolition of the eastern barrier wall and design of
the transition to the Great Western Court. It should be understood
staff would return to the Commission prior to any contractual
commitment.
Staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
