Mr. Hughes reported that this represented the functional saturation of all public parking at 50th and France. He clarified that there is a potential of 130 more parking spaces with the recent addition to the South ramp. Mr. Hughes said that he had contacted owners of six out of the seven places of business on the Southwest comer of 50th and France and found that none have any plans for expansion at this time, but that some properties may be sold in the near future. Mr. Kreiser showed renderings of his proposed building and advised that there is a potential of 130 more spaces with an addition to the South ramp. Mr. Hughes said that Minneapolis is apparently laying the groundwork for parking facilities on its side of France Ave., but that nothing will be done for three to five years. The Mayor said that since it was the intent of the tax increment dis- trict to encourage expansion, he believed that the Kreiser request should be granted and that other businesses in the area should be encouraged also to expmd. Mr. Kreiser::agreed, that, in the event he expanded his building, he would make a payment toward the special assessment HRA-1 to equalize hTs assessment with other property owners in the redevelopment area.

Mr. Hughes recalled expenditures made from allocations for Years 1 thru 4. He recalled also that the Council had conducted a public hearing and amended the Year 4 Community Development application to include the School acquisitiion and development project as an eligible activity, but that to date, Year 4 funds have not been reallocated lor this project.
