place with a facade save. He stated his belief that it accomplishes the goal of incorporating where Lakewood came from and is going in the project. He likened Lakewood as the Ellis Island of Northeast Ohio, with 50% of the population being renters. He noted the variety of residential construction in the city, adding that a facade save reaches the best result while honoring everyone's perspectives. Councilmember Kepple reiterated the Council priority to read: "preserve the Curtis Block building to the greatest extent possible, preserving the four-corner street design, and paying homage to the original structure with elements of it throughout." Councilmember Rader spoke to the importance of incorporation historic elements throughout the structure while it is streamlined for modern day efficiencies. Councilmembers agreed to work collaboratively on drafting a formal list of the priorities discussed during the evening. Discussion took place on when the document should be issued. Councilmember Baker shared priorities on which he believes Council's focus should remain. He asked the administration to consider the extra payoff by investing in a parking deck that would allow for building expansion. He encouraged everyone to think beyond today's market about the multi-generational development. He suggested the city work to retain the air rights of the structure, which would provide the ability to build vertically. He cited an example of a parking deck in Cincinnati being converted into a hotel, adding that the most sustainable building is an already existing one. Mr. Baker continued, stating the importance of increasing density in the project. He added that he'd be interested in getting more granular about tenant sourcing, proposing that only 25% of the commercial tenants at the site can be existing Lakewood businesses. He advocated for better sourcing of information on the hard cost of the project as well, noting the city's 20% equity stake in the project. Several councilmembers echoed support for Mr. Baker's parking garage proposal. Councilmembers Kepple and Baker agreed to work together to compile a draft of Council priorities over the weekend for the upcoming regular meeting of Council the following Monday. Chair Litten stated to plan on another Committee of the Whole meeting to wrap up discussion on the term sheet. Councilmembers discussed appointing a member or 2 to work with the administration and CASTO throughout the development process. They expressed a goal to make the best 50-100- year decision possible. Council wants the highest and best use for the residents of the city, government, developer, and tenants of the site. They concluded in expressing faith in the Planning Commission and Architectural Board of Review, and a desire to continue to work to retain the developer and a good tenant. Chair Litten adjourned the meeting without objection at 8:48 p.m. 8
