Therefore, the (cont.} parking might be available for a period of time but there is no guarantee it might exist forever. Councilmember Chestovich then asked how shipping and receiving would be handled as it has been a great concern for the neighbors in the past. Mr. Uban explained that the proposed plan respects the existing dimension of the alley and that the loading would be accomplished in a dock area included in the building plans. Mayor warkentien asked about the moving of the residential garages and Mr. Uban replied that apparently the people who live there prefer the situation they have now rather than the onw chick would give them less backyard with a better entrance to the garages. After considerable discussion about traffic flow in the alley, and placement of the building on the eight lots, Councilmember Ciernia referred to the Comprehensive Plan where a central business district would be established with communal parking. Council.member Eggert stated that in a te7aphone conversation with Henry Kristal of the Embers Mr. Kristal indicated he would like to see the parking in the area opened up. Councilmember Ciernia f eft that there is no perfect solution to the alley situation, it can be made tolerable, but cannot make it a good situation. Attorney Gastea~oro presented proposed Resolution 83-43 dealing with industrial revenue bonds as requested by Council. She stated she was not sure how much a saf eguard passing the resolution would be, but felt it was a good step as there is the possibility it could be grandfathered in. After a discussion, Councilmember Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Chestovich, that Resolution 83-43 be adopted. Motion carried unanimously.
