Committee
Master Plan.
Feedback/Input from PRAC:
Member Minning requested to do something, to move forward with green space space,
update to accommodate effective parking by having walking access.
Member Lutz - move forward, need site development plan.
Resident Issler, 908 S. Joy Circle stated much input/effort (from every
organization/resident on the island) went into 2009 Master Plan (tremendous resource for
City). He suggested to not redo 2009 Master Plan, move forward with parking.
Re-examine plan for Marco Island, then go to City Council to request for quote and put
designs together.
Member Bonos stated PRAC members not aware of what went into plan.
Member Lutz stated Art Festival at Esplanade paid $10.00 to park (part of permit).
Esplanade during season does not have parking at VCP. Special events during season
needs special effort for parking.
Ms. Malloy stated no issues with parking. Temporarily okay to park in swales. Confusion:
rent spaces for $8.00 a space, not for an individual, it is event organizer. If rent park,
can use for additional parking. City Council developed committee for parking solutions.
Will need permit to park, no open parking is allowed which might be enforced by police
department.
