POTTS Amendments to the controversial off-street parking ordinance satisfy objectors as city planners had hoped. At a hearing on the proposed ordinance and the amendments Monday afternoon before the City Plan Commission, the Greater La Crosse Chamber of Commerce Manufacturers Division and eight spokesmen for manufacturers objected to- the ordinance. Mayor Warren Loveland, commission president, said I the commission would consider it later. As drafted by City Planning Director Ronald G. Bracegirdle, the ordinance would have required present and future property owners to provide specified numbers of parking spaces on the basis of square footage or number of customers, em- or, in the cases of apartment buildings, residents.

Earlier this year manufacturers and businessmen said this would impose a hardship on them. Manufacturers would have been required to have one 1 space for each two employes, and retailers one space for each 300 square feet of floor space. Bracegirdle then redrafted the ordinance to exempt downtown property owners and to permit existing businesses and industries to expand their operations by up to 50 per cent without having to increase their parking areas. Speakers Monday night said that even with these changes the code would pose hardships on them. Lynden Gjerde, speaking for the chamber manufacturers division, asked that present industry be exempted from the code, i saying that the code would encourage these industries to leave the city.

George Sarazin of Allis Chalmers Manufacturing Co. and Q. available space for expansion. Otherwise, he said, it has available expansion at Sheboygan or Cincinnati, Ohio, outlets. Other comments Monday night included: Russell Cleary, for Machine Products Corp.

The ordinance would impose a hardship on the expansion. Norman Schulze for the La Crosse County Industrial Development Council the Council attempts to encourage industry; the parking ordinance as proposed would reverse those efforts. Donald Berry, industrial relations manager for United Oil Products. 1 Division is in the first phase of a multi-phase expansion; with expansion planned, Norplex provide the parking space that the ordinance would require.
