Motio n carried unanimously. RESOLUTION R-88-8A A RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN ASSESSMENT FOR DISEASED ELM TREE REMOVAL AT 1358 W. IOWA ST. MARY'S STREET PARKING DISCUSSION RESUMED LEO KLISCH, 1757 FRY ST., sympathized with the St. Mary's residents, but expressed concern that Plan B, which would make St. Mary's one way from the alley south, would increase traffic on Fry Street. EVERETT HOLES, 1771 FRY ST., felt the plan would take advantage of their street and was of the opinion that all possible sources of private parking should be pursued before making any changes on St. Mary's. Baldwin assured Mr. Holes that every business .west of Snelling has been approached regarding overflow parking. JIM BYKOWSKI, 1745 ST.

DENNIS SMITH, 1725 ST. MARY'S ST., was opposed to an unsightly barricade to prevent traffic to the north, and felt requiring conditions on the proposed project would be a severe blow to the business. He stressed that time is of the essence and awaiting a parking agreement would take time, which would work a hardship on the residents. He also feared someone may be injured during this iterim period. After a lengthy discussion Ciernia moved that the City proceed with Plan B with the sole contingency being that the cost be shared by Ciatti's as presented (the difference between Plan A and Plan B). Upon a vote being taken the following voted in
