He gave a powerpoint presentation <br />showing the various projects. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Mr. Lynch, Mr. Tolbert said that no formal request <br />has been made to use the Ten Center property for parking, and he noted that it is not <br />currently zoned for parking. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said that the Planning Commission may want to look at the model <br />Chicago uses for their tall structures to avoid having monolithic structures, and Mr. <br />Tolbert said that the Planning Commission is exploring ways that other cities deal with <br />this issue and share Mr. Lynch’s concern. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris said that the City has come a long way in the past ten years since the <br />1999 Housing Strategy had a goal of increasing the number of middle class houses, but <br />he said his concern is that the pendulum is now swinging in the other direction and he is <br />concerned about the lack of affordable housing. He asked how we are planning for the <br />traffic burden these developments will generate. He said we need to plan ahead. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tolbert said he hopes that the increased density around the University and on <br />the corridors will help make transit more successful. <br /> <br /> Mr. Taliaferro asked if the impact on public safety is being taken into <br />consideration with these new developments, and Mr. Tolbert said his department has <br />been working well with the public safety departments. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown asked about bringing in fill near creeks as is being done on at least one <br />project, and Mr. Tolbert said that the current ordinance allows filling in the flood plain, <br />but not floodways. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said he is bothered by that and would like to have prohibiting fill in the <br />floodplains considered, and Mr. Tolbert said that the Planning Commission is having that <br />discussion. <br /> <br />
