TO: FROM: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL WILLIAM RUBIN, ED COORDINATO~~ SEPTEMBER 8, 1993 DATE: SUBJECT: JACKSON SQUARE PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS INTRODUCTION At its meeting Redevelopment design for improvements. and is labeled on September 7, the Authority (HRA) voted the proposed Jackson The recommended design "hybrid concept". Elk River Housing and to recommend a specific Square parking lot is attached tq this memo BACKGROUND e Improvements to the Jackson Square parking lot have been discussed a great deal by City staff over the past eighteen months. The City Council will recall that in May of this year, it helped prioritize the work program of Phil Hals and his staff and this project was pushed back to a post-Labor Day start. The Elk River HRA has agreed to fund the improvements which will likely range from $20,000 to $24,000. At its meeting on August 12th, the HRA reviewed three illustrations for the proposed improvements to Jackson Square. These illustrations, along with an illustration depicting the existing conditions, are also attached to this memo. After discussing this matter, the HRA voted to refer the illustrations to the Downtown Development Corporation for review and comment. The Development Corporation met on September 1st to discuss the illustrations. The following members of the Development Corporation were in attendance: John Purmont, Con Johnson, Mary Bender, Rob VanValkenberg, Grip Dare, Jeff Kleinbaum, John Oliver, Don Heinzman, Jim Mulroy, Bud Houlton, and Bill Birrenkott. Members of the Corporation, in conjunction with City staff, came up with a revised layout which is labeled "hybrid concept". The group desired to a) retain as much green space as possible; and b) create angled stalls. . On September 7th, the HRA met again to review the comments of the Development Corporation and to discuss this revised illustration. The HRA voted to recommend this illustration to the City Council for final action. The rationale here is that the parking lot is owned by the City, but the HRA will fund the improvements. Therefore, the City Council should have the final decision on the proposed improvements to Jackson Square. P.O.

ACTION REQUESTED The Elk River City Council is asked to approve a final layout design for the Jackson Square parking lot.

ELK RIVER HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY TO: HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FROM: WILLIAM RUSIN, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATtfV~ DATE: SEPTEMBER 2, 1993 SUBJECT: AGENDA MEMO FOR SEPTEMBER 7TH HRA MEETING 5. Jackson Square Parking Lot Improvements At the HRA's August 12th meeting, Commissioners reviewed several illustrations concerning improvements to the Jackson Square parking lot. By way of HRA action, these illustrations were referred to the Elk River Downtown Development Corporation for review and comment. The Development Corporation met on Wednesday, September I, 1993, to review.. the parking improvement concepts. Enclosed in the agenda packet is the concept the Development Corporation recommends. It is a hybrid design that the group came up with at the meeting. The group took Concept No. 3 (attached) and revised it with the following: e - Parallel parking on the east side of Jackson Place - Angled parking on the west side of Jackson Place - The creation of a right turn only bulb from Jackson Place to U.S. Highway 10 (Jackson Place continues as a one-way,northbound street) Additional stalls are created in the parking area near Highway 10 by way of the right turn only bulb The balance of the. parking stalls in the lot are angled - Movement with the lot is counter-clockwise; a vehicle enters or exits onto Jackson Place from Main Street; vehicles may exit onto Highway 10, or, may exit onto Jackson Avenue (that is, "exit only") This design retains the flag pole and evergreens in the middle of the lot. Action Requested e In order to keep the improvement project on schedule, the HRA is asked to finalize this proposal and forward a recommendation on to the City Council for implementation. The rationale here is that the parking lot is owned by the City, but it will rely on the HRA to fund the improvements. Therefore, the City Council should have the final decision on the proposed improvements to Jackson Square. P.O. Box 490. 13065 Orono Parkway · Elk River, MN 55330-1743 · (612) 441-7420.
