<br />
<br /> This ordinance appropriates the necessary funds for the architectural design and
<br />engineering costs associated with the overall design of ~ 700 space parkin~ garage to
<br />b~ located between the Holiday Inn and the new 25 story Harbor Tower. As part of the over-
<br />all Crawford Waterfront Plan, there was originally a parkin~ garage scheduled to be built
<br />on Crawford Street adjacent to the harbor; and, an additional parking garage, known as
<br />High Street Garage, to be built at the end of High Street between Crawford and Water Streets.
<br />The redesign based on the marketing of the 25 story residential units indicates the need
<br />for parking adjacent to the units to be served. The City also has a requirement for public
<br />parking in this area since there are currently in excess of 150 spaces being rented on a
<br />monthly basis. The design will be for 700 cars; however, only a 500 space parking garage
<br />will be constructed in Phase I. This will provide 253 spaces to the high rise tower and
<br />250 spaces for public parking. The City Manager recommends adoption on first reading."
