MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 23, 2004 Fahey agreed that there should be no on street parking and indicated that this restriction could be place in whatever agreements are entered into with the Watershed. Fahey noted that there could be a shared parking agreement with the City Center and Watershed. Fahey also indicated that parking requirements is another reason for keeping the size of the building down.
