t <br /> -4- <br /> Mr. Jones indicated he agreed with staff that.. a free standing swimming <br /> pool facility would probably .not be realistic in this climate and <br /> guessed that the St. Anthony Bowling Alley might eventually become a <br /> recreational club for the residents of this project. However, he and <br /> Mr. Bowerman could not agree on whether. .the green areas should be <br /> centrally located or related separately -to each building. The latter <br /> was concerned that the amount of surface parking proposed by Knutson <br /> might overwhelm the amenities of the living areas and perceives under- <br /> ground parking would .not . only provide security but also housing for the <br /> building mechanical , .where- they .would not bother- the residents . <br /> Chair Makowske indicated she perceives the Commission members seem <br /> to prefer the Knutson configuration with. the exception of the amount of <br /> black top for -parking and the lack of .certain amenities which had been <br /> proposed by Arkell, but which the Manager believes. Knutson would be <br /> willing to provide as well. Mrs . Franzese indicated she had concluded <br /> from the interviews that both firms would be flexible in this regard. <br /> Mr. Jones indicated he would like to see an easy access from the project <br /> to public transportation and believes there might be more security <br /> provided with a common recreational area. He would also like to see <br /> plans which would provide enough buffering to discourage through <br /> traffic by outsiders, but at the same time which would provide easy <br /> access for the residents to the shopping center . <br /> Mr. Childs. then requested whether there would be any interest in attend- <br /> ance _at either of two planning seminars reported in the Commission <br /> • agenda. No one indicated an interest in the Seattle conference, but <br /> Mrs . Franzese reported she was waiting to hear from the sponsors of <br /> the St-. *Cloud seminar regarding arrangements to attend that meeting. <br /> The Manager anticipates the Commission may be able to start looking at <br /> the capital improvement plan in a couple of months . At present he is <br /> working on the City zoning map which had not been kept up to date . <br /> Mr. Bjorklund suggested when that task is completed, the map could be <br /> published and duplication costs would be nominal. <br /> Motion by Mr. Bjorklund and seconded by Mr. Jones to adjourn the meeting <br /> at 9 : 36 P.M. <br /> Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Helen Crowe, Secretary <br /> i <br />
