Mayor Donley requested the City Manager to contact the Superintendent of Schools and arrange a meeting in the near future between the Mayor, the Vice Mayor, Chairman and Vice Chairman of the School Board, the Superintendent, the City Manager and the City Attorney to discuss some of the issues raised.
(A copy of the verbatim transcript of this discussion is on file in the office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council.)
(i) Vivian Thompson, 4900 Wethredsville Road, Baltimore, Md, spoke to funding of the Alexandria Boxing Club, the lack of communication with Parks and Recreation, requested reinstatement of the funding, and requested the extension of its lease at the Charles Houston Center;
(j) Joseph Cooper, 3348 Commonwealth Avenue, spoke in support of the Alexandria Boxing Club;
Mayor Donley asked the City Manager and the Director of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities, to sit down and confirm the figures that Council had during its budget discussions. If in fact the issue is lack of communication or miscommunication, Mayor Donley requested that that problem be solved. He stated he did not think it is the intent of Council discussion to close the program down, and he does not think it is the intent not to renew the lease.
City Manager Lawson spoke to this issue.
(k) Lynette Hart, 121 East Raymond Avenue, spoke to the City Manager's After-School Task Force regarding the After-School Pilot Program;
Deputy City Manager Steele commented on this issue.
Mayor Donley reaffirmed that the program needs to be developed, it has to encompass the elements of a good, quality after-school program with an academic flavor to it, and the specifications of the pilot program should be developed by the City, then it should be bid out, and the Recreation Department should be a bidder in that process.

11. City Council approved the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approved the request, subject to all applicable codes, ordinances and staff recommendations.
12. Vance R. Ablott, representing Challenger Center for Space Science Education, represented that they recognize Bellvue Place is a private road and they will take such reasonable steps to insure that the employees, visitors, clients and/or delivery personnel do not use Bellvue Place, will give directions in all of their written materials to their clients and visitors as to the proper location of the parking lot, and will provide, subject to City guidelines, proper signage to the parking access so that they can do all of those things. Their concern is that they do, in fact, have an access easement across that road and they don't like the terminology preclude or restrict or eliminate because those things imply a variation to the access permit that we don't know that we want to be able to or are in a position to sign. That's the only terminology that they are stumbling over and they have given them assurances that they would do that. They are willing to stand behind the letter given to them [Pitt Street Station Homeowners Association] on May 28, fully to say that they will do everything they can to reasonably solve that.
City Council approved the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approved the request, subject to all applicable codes, ordinances and staff recommendations, recognizing the representation by the two speakers that they are going to continue to work together to resolve any differences. (Separate Motion)
13. City Council approved the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approved the request, subject to all applicable codes, ordinances and staff recommendations.

Planning and Zoning Director Lynn stated that he would be happy to meet with the applicant to talk about a range of uses that can go at this site. There are a whole broad range of retail uses that would be fine. The ones that have problems are ones that have late-night impact or have peak impact.
