The discussion focused on whether the proposed parking deck should be placed along
Route 83 from the corner of Busse and 83, northward to incorporate a portion of the
Library property. Option 2 would be to have the parking deck occupy part of the Library
property but be placed in between the proposed new Village Hall and the Library.
There was extensive discussion about the two options including a straw poll of
preferences by various Board members of the Village and the Library. The preference
of the majority of Village Board members and Library Trustees was placing the parking
deck in between the two buildings assuming proper access can be obtained for the
Library. Both Boards directed the two architects to work together to create a design
which will complement both structures and include an Emerson Street entrance to the
parking garage.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:52 p.m.
