<br />Mr. Smith asked if they had explored other options for excess storage of trolley cars. <br />He added that this was a prominent space in the Historic District and maybe there could <br />be other options along the route besides using the area as shown. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler stated there was storage at the other end near De Baliviere. He added that <br />the right-of-way is limited all along Delmar. <br /> <br />Mr. Smith asked why an extra car would need to be added at the end of the line rather <br />than anywhere else along the line. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler stated he would find out if there were other feasible areas for storage. <br /> <br />Mr. Smith added that would not be a desirable area to have extra cars parked. <br /> <br />Mr. Hubbman stated that when extra cars would be stored there, it would only be for <br />major events and for maybe ten minutes. <br /> <br />Ms. Schmidt stated that it could serve as a place to store a car if there were to be a <br />breakdown. <br /> <br />Mr. Smith stated that there could be other options. He added that his concern is with <br />the guidelines in the district standards. He stated that they could possibly be creating <br />an obstruction within the district and asked if they had weighed all options available. <br /> <br />Mr. Hubbman stated that they would find out. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler asked Mr. Smith if he was more concerned with poles or with storage of <br />vehicles. <br /> <br />Mr. Smith stated that if there were another way to arrange it and serve the same <br />purpose, perhaps there would be less impact. He stated that he would like to know <br />what alternatives had been explored. <br /> <br />Mr. Myers asked about the next steps in the design and refinement of the project. He <br />stated that it was a great opportunity for creating a civic plaza. He stated that the <br />proposed design is creating green space and in this area, with the lion gates and City <br />Hall it was a great opportunity. He noted that they had shown a rendering with a large <br />lawn area in front of City Hall. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler stated that they were still going to work on finalizing those plans and that <br />landscaping would be part of that process. <br /> <br />Mr. Myers stated that as shown it was just a large, flat space and somewhat awkward. <br /> <br />Mr. Hubbman stated that it was not within the scope of the project to address this area. <br /> <br />Mr. Myers stated that beginning at Big Bend and Delmar there is a pattern established. <br /> <br />Mr. Hubbman agreed and that pattern is obvious as it goes from residential to civic to <br />410 <br />Page of <br /> <br /> <br />
