David Keyston, Anza Shareholders Liquidating Trust, felt thisproject would balance all the hotels and restaurants in the area.
He felt the height of the office buildinqs was mitigated by cluster-
ing and urged council accept the project.
A student in the audience inquired how all the office workers would
exit the area since there is so much traffic congestion in the area
now. Mayor Barton informed him that this problem is being considered.
There being no further comments, the public hearing was closed.
Council inquired why the parking structure could not be underground.
Developer stated this could not be done because of the water table
and uplift forces in the area and the potential for leaking into the
bui ldings .
Council discussed at some length its concern about the mass anil bulk
of the parking structure. Councilman Amstrup stated he also had a
problem with the height of the office buiJ-dings. Mayor Barton felt
the project was too massive and the only $/ay to reduce the sj-ze of
the garage was to reduce the size of the entire project.
Councilman Crosby inquired if the project could come back with other
plans as he would like to see the project proceed.
Bob owen, president of owen Company, said there appeared to be a
problem with the large parking structure and suggested a possible
solution. If the structure were altered from a beam structure to
post tension structure about 10 feet in height coulil be eliminated.
Councilman Martin moved to send the project back to the Planning
Commission with the new proposal for the parking structure made by
Mr. owen. Seconded by Councilman Amstrup, carried unanimously by
ro11 call vote of members Present.
