<br />it is necessary that a redevelopment committee be established to draw up guide-LARPENTEUR/
<br />lines for the area. He reviewed the method followed by the development SNELLING TO
<br />committee for the northeast corner and recommended that the new committee BE ESTABLISHEI
<br />read the report prepared by that group (Grittner Report). A sign-up sheet
<br />was then circulated so that interested persons could volunteer to serve on
<br />the new committee.
<br />Robert Collins, Attorney for Bullseye Golf, gave a brief history of the
<br />procedures leading up to this time and presented the proposed site plan for
<br />the Bullseye Building which provides for 23,000 square feet of retail space,
<br />3,000 square feet of office space in the basement, 12,000 square feet of
<br />basement storage, and 115 parking places. He explained that if the liquor
<br />store is purchased, that area will be used for employee parking. only in order
<br />to reduce traffic in the residential neighborhood. He also stated that their
<br />appraiser valued the liquor store at $125,000.
<br />Mr. Collins presented two requests: (1) that Council approve the concept
<br />of the site plan as recommended by the Planning Commission, and (2) that
<br />Council authorize condemnation. He explained that with approval of the
<br />site plan the architect will go ahead with more specific drawings and that
<br />they are negotiating for purchase of the filling station but wanted
<br />condemnation begun in the event negotiations fail.
<br />Planning Commission Member David Black stated that the Planning Commission was
<br />in favor of the general concept but felt there should be further negotiations
<br />before it would be appropriate to deal with condemnation. Attorney Van
<br />de North felt it was premature to consider condemnation and that the
<br />development agreement should be in place prior to condemnation. Fiscal
<br />Consultant Chenoweth reminded Council that condemnation could be very
<br />expensive as relocation would be involved. Mr. Collins indicated that
<br />he did not have complete faith that negotiations would be successful and
<br />for that reason was requesting condemnation.
<br />Following a discussion regarding parking spaces, Mr. Pope, the architect for
<br />Bullseye Golf, explained the method by which he arrived at the number of
<br />parking spaces.
<br />Mayor Eggert reviewed the list of volunteers for the redevelopment committee,
<br />and explained that when there are two members from one family, only one
<br />vote will be allowed. Mayor Eggert then moved, seconded by Councilmember
