BOOK ; { ® PnE 127 <br />NOV 17 1987 <br />that a recent Press Journal poll of 288 residents in the area <br />showed that 54% favored the Catron site. He believed that both <br />the Catron and Grace Lutheran sites have zoning problems, but as <br />far as a central site goes, the Catron site would be the most <br />attractive. Mr. Radford urged the Commission to consider the <br />Catron property. <br />Fred Mensing, resident of Roseland, felt the Board should <br />consider a one-story building that was engineered to go up when <br />expansion is needed. He believed it is much cheaper to go up <br />than to go out. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt that while he has the inclination to <br />go with the Grace Lutheran site, we need more information on both <br />sites, particularly about the availability of the church parking <br />space and the lease agreements for the coin laundry and <br />supermarket located in the Grace Lutheran block. In terms of the <br />Catron site, he felt more information is needed on the traffic <br />flow, and that it would be nice for us to get a feel from the <br />City Council on rezoning it to allow for a library in the POI. <br />Commissioner Eggert repeated the way it was presented to the <br />Library Advisory Board and with the $5.9 million bond issue is <br />that if we indeed decided to go with the Grace Lutheran site, we <br />would be able to go with the $750,000-$760,000 cap. She did not <br />want the issue to be Catron vs. Grace Lutheran with a cap, <br />knowing we have to get more property for parking. Commissioner <br />Eggert felt we need to verify the cost of ground level parking. <br />Commissioner Wheeler wanted some assurance that the parking <br />available today would be here 40 years from now, and Chairman <br />Scurlock stressed that he would also like that information before <br />he makes his decision. <br />Mr. Boling believed that two weeks would be of sufficient <br />time to obtain the additional information needed. <br />32 <br />
