A. 2. Final Assessment Roll on LID 335 (Continued) Ross Hanson, Auburn Precious Metals owner, 295 E. Main Street, who spoke against the rezone stated Auburn is short of parking and the rezone puts a burden on an owner with a parking lot. Hanson pointed out that he has sufficient parking, and that the City has offered him free parking to allow for additional needed space if he was to build. Hanson said the majority of his business was conducted out of state and local patrons are within a 2 mile radius. Hanson stated the majority of the parking lot to be built would be used by Penneys, and his business would benefit the least. The rezone included people who should be excluded and vice versa. The store around the corner uses his parking lot and he felt he was assessed unfairly. Hanson posted a sign against the rezone, and has received numerous responses. He mentioned there was an agreement between Fidelity Mutual and the City when he purchased the building. Hanson has a pending law suit with the City, but he would rather settle out of court by having the LID reclassified and redone. He recommended that he be reassessed. Gene Kasper, downtown business owner, stated Hanson had not attended any meetings held for public opinion and had not given any input on LID 335. Kasper felt adequate notice was given Hanson. MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Walters to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Kurle questioned the agreement. Dugan responded that he was unaware of any agreement.
