Mr. Schlitt reported that <br />they have been wanting to do something for -redevelopment of <br />the downtown area, and felt this would be to get some <br />movement stirring. He noted that in recent years the <br />Landscaping Ordinances have forced the owners of various <br />developments to improve parking lots, but two of the worst <br />parking lots in the county are the City parking lot by City <br />Hall and the County parking lot by the Courthouse. When the <br />renovation was done, there wasn't enough money to go around <br />to do this portion, and there currently is not a blade of <br />grass in the one parking area. <br />Mr. Schlitt reviewed his proposed plan, explaining how <br />it would be possible to increase the green area.as well as <br />the parking area by the use of some compact parking spaces. <br />He noted that this plan has been presented to the Planning <br />Department and they are in favor of it with a minor change. <br />m <br />
