BEARD & GABELMAN, INC. CITY CF SALINA, KANSAS BEFORE THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE CITY OF SALINA, KANSAS IN THE MATTER OF THE ESSTABLISHKWT OF ) OFF-STREET PARKING AND ARCADES ) REQUEST FOR ABANDONMENT OF ARCADE IAA HENDRICKS, of Salina, Kansas, and B. & G. HOSIERY of Salina, Kansas, a corporation, state: Mrs. Hendricks is the owner of Lot 124, Santa Fe Avenue, Salina, Kansas. B. & G. Hosiery is a tenant in the approximate South 15 feet thereof. That the feasibility report on off-street parking indicates a proposal to establish an arcade through the South 15 feet of said lot. The landowner and the tenant are opposed to establishment of the arcade, and in support of their opposition thereto state: That the National Bank of America owns a part of Lots 113 and 115 on Seventh Street and intends to, in the future, remove.the 50 foot structure therefrom which will provide a means for the admission of pedes- trian traffic from Seventh Street through their drive-in facility and into the rear entrances of retail establishments on Lots 112, 114, and 116 on Santa Fe Avenue. It is understood that_the Penny Stores Company new facility on South Santa Fe will provide rear entrances for pedestrian traffic from Seventh Street. Numerous existing retail establishments between those two points now provide rear entrances for customers. It is believed that rear entrances will be established by virtually all retail establishments on Santa Fe Avenue and that the estab- lishment of such entrances will diffuse the pedestrian traffic which will operate as a general benefit to the entire area. The establishment of an arcade will tend to concentrate the foot traffic and the benefits of the off-street parking system will not, as a result, be so generally diffused. Preliminary to this protest, a general consideration of the off- street parking system in Kansas City, Kansas, was affected. Certain people with knowledge of the operation thereof were interviewed. The result of the interviews are as follows: (A) Mr. Ben Craig of the Chamber of Commerce of Kansas City, Kansas, was interviewed and stated that the public parking Jots estab- lished by the City have not at any time provided arcades to Minnesota Avenue, the principal street. Mr. Craig stated that the blocks on Minnesota Avenue are quite long, being over 700 feet in length. The gen- eral system of access employed from the parking lots to Minnesota Avenue for the retail stores are open rear entrances where pedestrians can walk through their stores or enter for purchasing. The public acceptance of the system has been very good. Mr. Craig reported that most of the mer- chants were strongly in favor of the system as established, but that one merchant opposed the pedestrian walk-throughs on the theory that it in- creased the volume of shoplifters. Mr. Craig also was opposed to build- ing arcades at public expense, if the merchants provide rear entrances. One reason that he was opposed is, that it unnecessarily removes property from the tax rolls, if persons accepted the use of rear entrances as a le r. general routine. Under normal conditions, property taken for arcades is some of the most expensive property in town, and the taking of such would reduce the volume of funds available for additional parking. Mr. Craig states that the Chamber of Commerce in Kansas City has not re- ceived any complaints whatever from the general public against the rear entrance facilities employed in the Kansas City, Kansas system. (B) Ron Duran, Chief Planner for the City of Kansas City and Wyandotte County, Kansas, was interviewed, He stated that in his opinion the Kansas City, Kansas plan was a good one, and that two disadvantages exist if arcades were employed: One, that it would remove property from the tax rolls, and the other that it would decrease aggregate sales be- cause of the removal of high-grade property from sales use. He stated that each parking station and arcade is a separate problem and should be analyzed as such. He believes, however, that passage through the rear entrances of stores is a very acceptable solution. In Kansas City, Kansas, no arcade is available, and at no time since the establishment of those lots, has he heard one complaint from the public. (C) Bill Troup of the Katz Drug Company was interviewed and stated; that.his company was most -favorably impressed with the Kansas City, Kansas plan. They liked that plan very much, were enthusiastic about it and are opposed to arcades. They felt that their retail business volume was increased as much as one-third, as a result of the rear entrances. In Kansas City, Kansas, their company has experienced as much traffic through their rear entrances as they have through their front doors. Katz have no complaints from the public about having to go through the rear. entrances and they know personally there are people who prefer to use rear entrances rather than arcades. The McClellan Stores in Kansas City, Kansas, very strongly favor the rear entrances in preference to arcades. In summary, the property owner and the tenant believe that the principal advantages of not establishing an arcade in the 100 Block on South Santa Fe are the following: (1) More property would be left on the tax rolls. (2) Aggregate sales on Santa Fe Avenue, would be increased rather than decreased from the loss of the property. (3) Many citizens prefer well -lighted stores to an arcade. (4) That the existence of an arcade concentrates benefit of the off-street parking.system to the middle of the 100 Block South Santa Fe, whereas the cost being.charged to the pro- perty is level. If the benefit is to be con- centrated then the assessment should be grad- uated and not level. (5) The merchants of Santa Fe, particularly the West side thereof, will _find and devise, adequate, good, and sufficient means for rear entrances, so that the arcade will eventually be used very little and certainly inadequately to justify the extremely high cost per square foot. - 2 - In addition, B. & G. Hosiery will arrange to provide a back entrance into its property, which will be free for the use of pedes- trians. We understand that the Crown Drug, which occupies the balance of the Hendricks lot, is giving consideration to installing a back entrance also. Respectfully Submitted, Ida M. Hendricks B. & G. HOSIERY By is President - 3 - Y BEFORE THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE CITY OF SALINA, KANSAS IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTABLISHMENT ) OF OFF-STREET PARKING AND ARCADES ) SUGGESTIONS WITH REFERENCE TO OFF-STREET PARKING PROGRAM C. L. CLARK, as a citizen and without representing any property owner, proposes the following matters be given careful consideration by the Commission: (A) That the general principal of arcades be abandoned, with the exception of,the arcade in the 100 block of North Santa Fe on the west side. An arcade is a necessity if Parking Lot No. 8 is to be properly utilized. In all other cases the physical conditions are such that the abandonment of the arcades are justified. It would be of greater benefit to the community to add 100 parking spaces. The arcades are simply not worth in dollars to the benefit district retail area, the cost thereof with the exception noted. Most certainly the direct availability of rear entrances in the 100 and 200 blocks of South 5th and the 200 block of South 7th removes any practical reason whatever for arcades. The conditions are, in each instance, exactly equivalent to the Kansas City, Kansas situation. Kansas City, Kansas has had one of the most successful municipal off-street parking systems in the country. That system can, I believe, be put to use as an equivalent and proper example. Its high degree of success justifies the abandonment of arcades. (B) While I outlined in a communication to the Commission my reasons for saying that the charges against the benefit district property are ill -proportioned and inequitable, I feel compelled to reiterate my personal opposition to the allocation proposed. The lots being acquired will be a permanent asset to the downtown area and permanently productive of revenue, which should be given serious consideration in re-evaluating the proportion of the cost chargeable to the benefit district. There is another strong reason why the assessment is disproportionate. That reason is that no property should be exempt from the assessment whatever, that is, public property, church property or other property within the benefit dis- trict. All this property is actually being benefited by the installations and the benefit should be charged. Church property and public property pays its proportionate cost, sewer, paving, and any other assessments. The fact that it would not affect the legality of the bond issue has nothing whatever to do with the subject. The bond purchaser, of course, is not con- cerned about the assessment against property. All he is concerned with is requirements relating to the bond issue are not a proper criteria for determining or evaluating the duty of the City Commission with refere rn rho ssaessment of all the Property within the benefit district. I, therefore, urge that all property within the benefit district be assessed and where there is public property, that.the assessment be paid from the revenues from parking meters, and that a greater proportion of the cost should be borne by on -street and off-street meter parking revenues to be derived from other parking lots and the streets in the downtown area. Respectfully Submitted, C. L. CLARK
