(The meetinlar Council Meeting of July 5, .l983 Mee 5p egu s ) PRESENT: COUNClLMEMBERS AMSTRUP, BARTON, CROSBY, MANGINI , MARTIN STAFF PRESENT: ARGYRES, KIRKUP, MONROE I . REQUEST FO8 EXTINS]ON OF BUILDINq PELMIT--SHERATON INN EXPANSION The Sheraton Inn's request for extension, which was referred to Study Meeting from the Regular Council meeting of June 20, was further discussed with Sheraton Repesentative, Cyrus McMillan. The Council directed Mr. lt{cMi1lan and theCity Attorney to meet and draft an amendment to the land lease prior to the August 15 Regular Meeting which would: (l) Allow for the City to wjden Airport Boulevard on the Sheraton leased land without payment. If the amount of land to be used for roadwayis "sign'ificant," either provide for land for parking elsewhere, in- crease the parking variance, or reduce the Sheraton monthly payment to an agreed-upon amount, a1l at City option. (2) Increase the monthly lease payment amount from $2,500 to $3,000 monthly upon the start of payments. (3) Draw up some form of extension of the project for four years from nowto the point that significant construction has begun. Cleariy indicate that Councii has dropped any traffic aal location which the Sheraton has had. 2. REVIEI,i 0F RESTAURANT TRAFFIC STUDY The Publ ic Works Director reviewed the status of the restaurant traffic study stating that, in late I982, Council directed staff to schedule an origin and destination survey on a sample of freestanding restaurants in the area east of Highway #l0l to check the actual traffic generation during P.M. peak hour at the three critical intersections along the Bayfront. Fol lowing th'is initial survey, Council again directed that additional information be obtained by surveying all restaurants. This was done by Lou Larson in March and April 1983. Based on the results of this new survey, staff now recommends that the generation factors at the critical intersection used in the Drachman Traffic Analyzer be reduced by one-third for restaurants. However, on the basis that the same amount of money is required to finance the Bayfront improvements needed, a reduction in restaurant fees would necessitate an increase in the fees paid by hotels andoffices. Council concurred with the recommendation by staff to leave the cur- rent fee schedule in place until revised costs direct that new fees be instjtuted other than the latest Engineering News Record Highway Construction Cost indexing. The Drachman Traffic Analyzer should be reduced one-third for restaurants. Council also reviewed a letter from David Keyston on this item. 3.
