ORDINANCE: SALE OF PROPERTY ON ELSOM STREET (2nd reading) Ms. Slaughter explained that the sale of property on Elsom Street will be subject to a public rezoning process and restrictive covenant that requires that the property be used as a parking lot. Mr. Huja said that the property in question is one of the locations identified for off- street parking on West Main Street. A private developer has proposed to purchase the lot and relocate the small playground located on the property. The City has received a number~ of complaints about people on the property creating a nuisance to the neighborhood. Mr. Huja said that the church and neighbors have been notified of the rezoning public hearing. Ms. Alicia Lugo, a resident of Brown Street, asked Council not to sell the property until the neighbors have an opportunity to hear about the proposal, including what the plans are, who is buying it, what kind of buffer will there be, what will it took like, and what will the impact be on the neighborhood. Ms. Lugo said that everyone who lives in the area, not only those with adjacent property, should be notified. Ms. Lugo asked that action be postponed until staff can meet with neighbors.
