Session 1577, Minutes september 14, 1992 Page 9 problems. She thought na;t of the traffic would be walk-in. Mrs. Schuman asked if washington University could be recontacted about park- ing. Applicant Mike Morrison, 5817 Nina Place, said a representative told him the University had plans for a a::mnercial developnent on that corner, and it would be premature to lease parking there. He was also told they planned to nove their administrative offices into the old F'aIooUs-Barr building; that, plus student parking on the site, made the applicants think it was a good lo- cation for the coffee shop because of the large am::>UI1t of walk-by traffic. Mayor Majerus said parking and traffic have been problems in that area for many years and while she greatly liked the concept, it was not appropriate at that location. Mrs. Schuman said this was an extremely well-thought out proposal that would fit well in a neighbortlood such as the one on Li.rrle11, however, neighbors do not take kirxlly to people parking in front of their h01OOS, which would happen because of the lack of parking. She felt this concept could be very success- ful in the right location and suggested tabling the matter. Mayor Majerus said she would be happy to speak with a w~n University representative about this proposal. Mr. Michael Marvaso, 530 N. Union, the third applicant, asked if that meant using the same location, but have the use of Washin:3ton university parking. Mayor Majerus said she was referring to use of the fo:rmer UNICEF building which she thinks will be renovated by the University. Mrs. Schuman noved to table. Mr. Wagner secorrled the notion, which carried unanilrously.
