Ms. Whittinghill stated that eminent domain proceedings for Ms. Shaw's house were begun in April, 1989, and the committee had initiated steps in April, 1990 to acquire the house. Ms. Whittinghill read the following petition, dated August 6, 1990, into the record of the hearing:

"The Ruth Faison Shaw Memorial Committee requests that it be given Miss Shaw's former home at 112 Estes Drive together with sufficient time to locate land upon which to move the house. We also request that we be given time to comply with such governmental ordinances as may apply to the establishment of a museum or gallery to honor Miss Shaw."

Ms. Whittinghill said that the committee had received a number of offers of assistance to date. She requested that the Council provide assistance in the Committee's acquiring the Ruth Faison Shaw house.

Council Member Preston thanked Ms. Whittinghill for bringing this matter to the Council's attention. Council Member Preston requested that the Town Manager explore the possibility of maintaining the house on the park and library site. Ms. Whittinghill noted that the estimated cost to move the house was approximately $50,000. Council Member Rimer noted that his wife had made an unsuccessful offer in 1970 to purchase the Ruth Faison Shaw House.

COUNCIL MEMBER PRESTON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER RIMER, TO REFER ACCEPT MS. WHITTINGHILL'S PETITION AND REFER IT TO THE TOWN MANAGER. THE MOTION WAS ACCEPTED UNANIMOUSLY (8-0).

Ms. Ginger Norfleet, President of the Chapel Hill Rose Society, noted that Mr. F.E. (Gene) Strowd is a nationally-recognized rose expert. She noted that the over five hundred rose bushes in the Community Center garden were an asset to the Town. Ms. Norfleet requested that the Council name the garden in Mr. Strowd's honor.

Council Member Wallace noted that Mr. Strowd was a long-time partner in the Johnson-Strowd-Ward Furniture business. Council Member Wallace said he strongly endorsed the resolution to name the garden in Mr. Strowd's honor. Council Member Preston noted that Mr. Strowd had served on the Town's Board of Aldermen between 1955 and 1966.

COUNCIL MEMBER PRESTON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER WALLACE TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 0.1. THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (8-0).

A RESOLUTION NAMING THE ROSE GARDEN AT THE CHAPEL HILL COMMUNITY CENTER PARK IN HONOR OF MR. F. E. STROWD (90-8-27/R-0.1)

This the 27th day of August, 1990.

Parking Facility and Public Plaza

Town Manager Cal Horton noted that the Town staff had worked with Wilbur Smith and Associates to consider a range of financial alternatives for the proposed parking facility on lot #1. Mr. Horton said that the utilization of $600,000 in accumulated parking reserves was recommended for upfront funding of a portion of the facility's cost. Mr. Horton added that Professor Michael Miles had provided assistance in the area of potential business development for the public plaza. He noted that project architect Michael Hining would be providing a refined estimate of project costs this evening.

Hollis Loveday of Wilbur Smith and Associates said his firm had completed a feasibility study concerning the need for a parking facility in downtown Chapel Hill. Mr. Loveday said his study concluded that such a project was feasible based on current and projected future parking needs. He also briefly reviewed the proposed parking rate schedule and said the facility could be self-supporting within one to two years. Mr. Loveday concluded by noting that construction of the facility was justified on the basis of downtown parking needs.

Council Member Brown inquired whether anticipated self-sufficiency of the facility took into account operation and maintenance costs. Mr. Loveday said this was correct. Council Member Brown inquired how other parking lots in the downtown area would be impacted by the new facility. Mr. Loveday said that his firm had taken a conservative approach in judging that most persons using the lots would not choose to walk further than one or two blocks. Council Member Brown requested a clarification of financial projections for the parking facility. Mr. Loveday said that break even was anticipated after less than two years of operation.

Professor Michael Miles said he had evaluated whether the proposed project would work logistically. Mr. Miles said it was important to examine a number of key objectives including the need for a vibrant downtown, the quality of the fit into the downtown area and adjoining businesses, and potential self-sufficiency of the project. Mr. Miles said a number of possible uses for the plaza had been suggested including: movie theaters, restaurants, office buildings, high-end or discount retail shops or miniature golf. Mr. Miles said that none of these alternatives were obvious choices.

Mr. Miles noted that the concept of developing a center for artists had been discussed extensively. Mr. Miles said it was important that such a center draw people downtown, be consistent with the Town's image, have synergy with the University of North Carolina, and not subsidize existing competition. Mr. Miles noted that such an effort would be difficult to coordinate, would not be likely to be financially self-supporting, and would require extensive support by the community in order to prosper. Council Member Werner noted that Mr. Miles had volunteered his time to work on this project.

Michael Hining, project architect, briefly reviewed cost estimates for the project, noting a net increase of about $8,000 to $4,054,929, since the last estimate on June 6, 1990. Mr. Hining noted that additional costs (approximately $100,000) were attributable to the cost of rock excavation on the site, and added that the estimated cost of site work had decreased by approximately $143,000 since the last estimate to the Council. Mr. Hining said that fees for the project had increased by $40,000 and costs for lighting of the public plaza had increased by $30,000. Council Member Preston inquired whether the cost of a model of the project were included in the total project cost. Mr. Hining said no, adding that such a model would cost approximately $9,000.

Mr. Horton said that parking facility and public plaza was financially feasible to construct, based on conservative assumptions of revenue receipts. Mr. Horton added that if the Council approved funding for the project this evening, they could also act on the project's special use permit and construction drawing approval.

Council Member Werner inquired whether it was correct that bonds would not be used to pay for costs of the public plaza. Mr. Horton said this was correct, adding that funds for the plaza would be used to purchase amenities such as furniture, trees and paving materials. Council Member Werner asked whether it was possible to postpone funding of the public plaza. Mr. Horton noted that the top of the parking facility could be built without any amenities. Council Member Werner expressed his preference for voting on the parking facility and public plaza separately. Council Member Werner added that time was of the essence in considering this matter.

Council Member Brown inquired about operating costs for the plaza and asked how they would be funded. Mr. Horton said that there was no estimate of these costs available, since the character of the plaza was undetermined. Mr. Horton stated that excess parking revenues would be used for operating costs. Council Member Brown noted that the cost of the original facility were in the range of $2.5 to $2.8 million. Mr. Horton stated that these cost estimates did not include a public plaza or other amenities. Council Member Brown inquired how cost overruns would be addressed. Mr. Horton said that the Town staff was responsible for maintaining project costs within initial spending limits.

Council Member Preston inquired about the level of bond issuance expenses. Finance Director James Baker stated that debt service cost in the first year of operation would be approximately $400,000. Council Member Preston inquired about the difference between debt service costs and capitalized interest costs. Mr. Baker stated that interest costs that accumulated between the time of bond issuance to the time of project completion would be capitalized. Mr. Baker noted that debt service and capitalized interest costs were included in the total project cost of $4.4 million.

Mayor Howes noted that Council Member Werner had earlier suggested separating the parking facility and public plaza for individual votes. Council Member Wallace said the effect of this was to facilitate voting for the parking deck and against the public plaza. Council Member Wallace said he felt this was unnecessary. Council Member Brown said she objected to construction of the facility, noting the Town's commitment to reducing the use of single-occupant vehicles, reducing pollution problems, and using transit funding for mass transportation and bicycle lanes. Council Member Brown said construction of the facility was a narrow, short-range transportation policy and that a broader long-range policy was needed. Council Member Herzenberg said the greatest need was to reduce commuter traffic, and that he found it hard to imagine that people would use park and ride lots to go downtown to see movies and shop. Council Member Brown suggested that the Town offer incentives and disincentives to encourage greater usage of park and ride lots.

Council Member Werner asked what decisions were being made concerning the public plaza by allocating a fixed amount of funding. Mr. Horton said that a tentative budget for amenities would be provided, setting an upper financial limitation. Council Member Werner inquired whether the Council was committing to any specific option. Mr. Horton said no. Council Member Werner inquired what the $500,000 in funding would be used for. Mr. Horton responded that the funds would be used to complete the public plaza amenities. Mr. Hining added that commercial facilities could be accommodated at a later date on the plaza, if the Council desired. Council Member Werner inquired whether any options would be precluded. Mr. Hining said no. Council Member Wallace said that the addition of a public plaza would be a qualitative addition to the parking facility. Council Member Wallace said the plaza would make the project more meaningful. Council Member Wallace expressed his strong support for the transfer of funds to move ahead with completion of the plaza.

Solid Waste Collection Alternatives

Town Manager Horton said that a staff report on service options for solid waste collection would be presented to the Council on September 24th, with a public forum tentatively scheduled to occur on October 16th. Council Member Rimer stressed the need for adequate time to put together a measured response to concerns of the public. Council Member Rimer suggested that a longer time frame be employed for consideration of solid waste collection alternatives. Council Member Brown stated that citizens should be actively involved in efforts to reduce waste and she suggested that the public forum be broadened to include a discussion of waste volume reduction. Council Members Werner and Rimer concurred that additional time was needed for the consideration of solid waste matters.

Mayor Howes expressed concern about the narrow focus of the proposed October 16th public forum. Mayor Howes said Council Member Brown's point was well-taken, since larger issues would also require exploration. Council Member Preston inquired whether three weeks was a long enough period for good dialogues to occur prior to the public forum. Council Member Rimer responded that the Town would be well-served by drafting a small scale comprehensive plan for solid waste. Council Member Rimer said that the public needed to have a forum on broader solid waste issues and perspectives. Mayor Howes noted that Council Members Brown and Rimer would continue solid waste planning discussions with the Town staff.

Council Meeting Schedule

Mr. Horton noted two corrections to proposed meeting dates: February 11th instead of February 12th and June 24th instead of June 25th. Mr. Horton also said that Council retreats were proposed to occur on October 13, 1990 and January 12, 1991. Mayor Howes said that the additional retreat would provide the Council with an opportunity to provide their perspectives to Mr. Horton, the Town's new manager. Council Member Wallace said he concurred with this observation, but regretted that he would be unable to attend the October 13th retreat due to a previous commitment. Council Member Rimer requested that the staff provide both a listing and calendar of future meetings. Mr. Horton said this would be provided to the Council.

Regional Sports Authority

Town Manager Horton said that the City of Raleigh was evaluating the feasibility of baseball and football franchises.

Mayor Howes noted that due to her absence, Council Member Andresen had given the Mayor a note saying she was not in favor of providing any financial support for such a project. Council Member Wallace noted that he would vote to discuss the concept of a regional authority despite it being rampant gargantuanism.

WHEREAS, the Town Council of Chapel Hill recognizes that our community is part of a region commonly identified as "the Triangle"; and

WHEREAS, local governments in the Triangle area have long recognized the value of a regional approach to issues which transcend their own jurisdictions; and

WHEREAS, the North Carolina General Assembly has enacted enabling legislation which provides for the creation of regional sports authorities; and

WHEREAS, a regional sports authority is the logical vehicle to promote the Triangle area as a site for national and international sporting events; and

Request for Temporary Noise Ordinance Amendment

Mr. Horton noted that any events with decibel levels exceeding sixty decibels required a modification of existing noise ordinance provisions. Mr. Horton said he recommended denial of this request, since the site of the event was near a residential area and Sunday afternoons have traditionally been a time of expected quiet in residential neighborhoods.

COUNCIL MEMBER HERZENBERG MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER WILKERSON, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 3, GRANTING THE REQUEST FOR A NOISE EXEMPTION.

Council Member Preston inquired whether it was necessary for music to be played constantly between 2:00 and 6:00 p.m. Joel Bulkley, the applicant for the exemption, said this could be modified to

2-5 or 3-6 p.m. Council Member Rimer noted that noise levels at Apple Chill and Festifall regularly reached seventy-five and eighty decibels, yet these events were approved without delay.

Council Member Brown said there was a need to discuss the modification request further, since noise pollution could cause problems for neighbors of the event. Mayor Howes inquired how decibel levels for Town-sponsored events were handled. Mr. Horton noted that Town events were exempted from standard noise provisions. Council Member Wallace inquired about the maximum limit for noise in the Town. Mayor Howes said the upper limit was seventy-five decibels. Council Member Herzenberg said Council Member Brown's observation about the concerns of "He's Not Here" neighbors was well taken. Council Member Brown inquired how much time was needed for the event. Mr. Bulkley said a total of three hours was needed.

ORDINANCE 3 WAS ON THE FLOOR FOR A VOTE. THE ORDINANCE FAILED ON FIRST READING, BY A VOTE OF 5-3, WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS BROWN AND PRESTON AND MAYOR HOWES VOTING NO.

Council Member Preston placed a substitute motion on the floor, amending the event time frame, to have bands playing between 2:15 to 3:15 p.m. and 3:45 to 4:45 p.m.

COUNCIL MEMBER PRESTON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HERZENBERG, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 3, AS AMENDED. THE ORDINANCE WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (8-0).
