Session 1517, Minutes me May 7, 1990 Page 5 years of full freezing and five years at 50%; however, the economy is such that the interest in rehabbing has fallen off, therefore, he suggested a high- er level of tax abatement than in the past. Mr. Schomer asked what level was recommended by the UCRA, and Mr. 011endorff said the Authority automatically passes on to Council the developer's request for ten years of full freezing and fifteen years at 50%. However, the Council has never granted the full amount. Mr. Wagner moved approval of the amount recommended by the City Manager. Mr. Adams seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

Responding to Mr. Wagner, Mr. Adelman said there would be parking spaces for 104 cars, which would be enough to accommodate up to 30% retail on the site.
