177 COUNCIL CHAMBER- October 14, 1996 Council met in regular session on this date with the following members present: Mr. Cox, Ms. Daugherty, Ms. Richards, Ms. Slaughter, Mr. Toscano. Ms. Slaughter announced that a public hearing will be held on November 18th on the proposed curfew ordinance. PUBLIC Ms. John Heyden, Westwood Road, expressed concern about moving the public access studio to CATEC and charging fees. Mr. Heyden said charging a fee would be highly discriminatory to those who cannot afford fees and would eliminate 75% of the shows now being produced. Mr. Heyden added that he objectS to meetings being held without notification to citizens. CONSENT AGENDA Ms. Slaughter removed the Juvenile Detention Home Study appropriation from the consent agenda and deferred the resolution affirming the CDBG process. Ms. Constance Dunn, representing Management SelMces Corporation, expressed concern that property owners will not be able to pay for the land if the City requires it as part of the Woodrow Street closing. Responding to a question from Mr. Toscano, Mr. Huja said that another housing unit could be added on the property if the street is closed. Ms. Daugherty asked what the original reason was for the street closing request, and Ms. Dunn said that the street was dedicated, but unaccepted and the burden of maintenance and plowing was left to the property owners. Mr. Cox asked Mr. Gouldman to provide Council with a history of charging for street closings. Ms. Richards asked about the legal possibilities of charging for the land acquired by the closing at such time that a site plan would be submitted for development of the property, and Mr. Gouldman said that a restriction would have to be made on subsequent landowners. On motion by Mr. Toscano, seconded by Ms. Daugherty, the ordinance dosing Woodrow Street was unanimously deferred to the November 4th meeting. a.
