WEST END SHOPPING CENTER
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS BY HAMMER & ASSOC,
Shopping center should include all land possible since market study shows
more need than land in original blocks. This is true whether or not Oaks
Sireet is closed (City Traffic Engin. states that Oaks St. cannot be closed).
For above reasons, Adelaide Apis. should be acquired and included in shopping
center area,
Gulf Station, since a service station should be included in Center, should
remain "as is", expansion and possible re-orientation should be a subject
of negotiation between Gulf interests and the future redeveloper.
Construction of center can be staged satisfactorily and can be begun before
demolition of Lee St. School.
Sufficient of the business along Gordon Si. can and should be relocated to
the first stage of construction that it is desirable to provide for this opportunity.
General design criteria should be included in the Invitation to Bid but these
should not include either site or construction design.
If developers do not propose to use the area north of Oak St., then a moiel
reuse would be desirable. The project area and the market will support two
motels. It is essential that the area north of Oaks Si. not be developed to
include fringe area businesses to the detriment of the center itself.
There is no direct relationship between the project mote! site and the shopping

center. Neither is essential to the other. Each would complement the
other. The visual relationship would be beiween the proposed project
motel and the existing Sears building and its parking garage rather than
fo new construction in the new shopping center.
Staff proposals will be ready within 30 days.
Initial advertising of the project motel site can begin at once, if authorized.
