‘advised council that’

Woodcroft: housed some:

’ apartment homes on the 13-

acre. site and- that the
complex provided 1,721

underground parking spaces
including 121 surface lots —

the latter being for visitors |
‘only. Of. the underground .

spaces, he said, all were used
by residents with one or two
cars. and 41 ‘were designated
as visitor parking Spaces. .

These figiires ‘were’ a

| prelude to a plea that, now
‘the complex was fully oc--

cupied, the demand for.
visitor parking had exceeded
the supply and. those at-
tempting to enter were
having to be turned away at

Gordon Rose made the point |

Council appeared to be
somewhat skeptical of the
delegation’s proposition and
Mayor Bell, who was a
member of council when the
Woodcroft ‘proposal was
originally in the planning
stage, suggested that density
of the complex was too high.
