involved. He stated, as there have been many negatives and not much compromise, we have to find a compromise. Mr. Senturia stated that his notion is to separate the parking lot out for now with a clear understanding that we will move forward with a parking solution and it will happen as a parallel process with the Comprehensive Plan Update. He stated we should put all options on the table and challenge the naysayers to come up with options. He stated it has to be solved and his thought is to divide them and put the Plan on one track and the parking lot on a separate track, and all options are on the table. He stated we should give people time between now and the Comprehensive Plan process to figure out what that option is. Ms. Moran stated she agreed with Mr. Senturia and thought and a viable option to split it, given the fact that in 2013 we will revisit the Comprehensive Plan and this is to be part of the 2005 Plan, that it will be revisited. She stated that she was excited about the Plan and thinks it is wonderful. She stated her one reservation about it is, while she knows it is a neighborhood plan, the boundaries of the Plan are an artificial slice of University City and The Loop landscape and there are no provisions in it for adjacent areas. She stated that when we look at the Comprehensive Plan we will be able to look at adjacent areas. She stated that we have Delmar-Harvard and the Ward Building and who knows what the School District and the City will do with those; who knows what opportunities could affect Parkview Gardens. She stated that we need to look at the entire Loop environment including Loop South, and immediately west and south of Kingsland to see where there could be compromise and where there are opportunities that are not within the boundaries; we will have an opportunity to do so in the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Greening stated that the federal grant is just for the planning to lose that money. Ms. Moran stated that an argument could be made that 200 feet west would work; we could try. Ms. Greening asked if we could take the north parking area on a separate track to discuss over the next four to six months and if that would be an issue. Mr. Senturia stated that the time is now to put compromises on the table. Ms. Greening asked about the timeline. Ms. Riganti stated that it was a three year grant awarded last March and we were on an aggressive and accelerated process. Mr. Lai stated that theoretically it is a three-year grant; that we are on a fast track and told federal officials we are trying to get it done in one year, although it has extended a little over one year. He stated that we were hoping to get to City Council by August and the primary reason was to be positioned to apply for other implementation money and would have preferred status because of the current grant. He stated that as soon as the Plan is approved, we would be in a better position to apply for other grant money, as will be all communities who have received money from HUD and DOT and there is a limited amount of federal money available for implementation. tm; E
