JUNE 14, 2001
Members present: Stevenson, Johnson, McCann, Walker, Olson, Easton, Strizich, RJcci,
Smith, and Cumin; also present: Sandy Fischer, Jessica Kramer, Kelly Qulnn, and Kathy
Kahle.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as presented.
Fischer and Associates presented their progress with developing a South First Avenue
Streetscape. Since the OC has not given them specific direction in this effort, this was a
preliminary meeting discussing findings and concepts. It was agreed that the use of
common materials and standards was important. It was also agreed that the project
should consist of coordinated small projects implemented as tenants and owners change
and through the use of updated codes that reflect the intent of the TCSP Program--rather
than t~ying to create one big renovation project.
Fischer then went on to discuss Main Street, and the same concepts and guidelines were
generally agreed upon. It was the consensus that the downtown area should be kept small
and pedestrian as possible. The issue of sidewalk intersection bulb-outs and snow
removal was discussed briefly. The idea of calling the Main Street effort "Heritage
Corridor" seemed to have some merit as no one came up with a better idea. This will be
finalized at the July meeting. Any additional design concepts or ideas from the OC
members should also be brought to the July meeting so that Fischer and Associates can
move ahead with a specific design concept. Fischer and Associates are also moving
ahead with the development of the TCSP website, and OC members need to provide
guidelines as what should be included in it---especially a method of obtaining public
feedback.
It was decided that an interim meeting should be held consisting of Fischer and
Associates and the OC doing a walk-through of Main and South First, and this was
scheduled for June 28th.
Cai passed out a draft of changes to the City's Planned Unit Development Ordinance but
said that many further changes would come out of the two streetscapes being prepared.
No action was taken.
Cumin Associates also presented a bill for $440. Kathryn moved and Kathleen seconded
paying the invoice; motion carried.
Meeting adjourned.
