MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />OCTOBER 13, 1993 <br />previously which will allow for a future patch and <br />overlay on the road, when necessary. <br />TII~SPORARY Don Rue appeared before the Council and expressed <br />USE OF interest in the temporary use of City park property for <br />CITY parking for the Trane Company. Rue reported that the <br />PROPERTY adjacent park property consists of 19,000 square feet. <br />FOR PARKING The parking would be temporary in nature, would be <br />DON RUE leveled and crushed rock installed, which could be <br /> restored when the use ceases. <br /> Pedersen reported that he visited the site and saw <br /> numerous vacant parking spaces in the Trane Company's <br /> parking lot. Pedersen asked what the demand was for <br /> the additional parking. <br /> Rue reported that many Trane Company meetings need to <br /> be held off-site due to lack of parking.

Scalze noted that <br />this was the only park property that these residents <br />have direct access to. The neighbors are willing to <br />share the park with their industrial neighbors, but not <br />for use as an industrial parking lot. Scalze noted <br />that this is not a parking lot that can be reached by <br />the general public since access would be through the <br />Trane Company parking lot. <br />Scalze also noted that there is only one occupied home <br />on Maple Lane, and the City does not have the <br />opportunity to hear from those future property owners <br />on the use of this park. Scalze pointed out that until <br />Page 8 <br />
