Over the past several months a subcommittee representing the City has been working with Fra-Dor on the redevelopment of The site. That subcommittee is comprised of Council Members Keis and Montour, and Planning Commissioner Tom Duray. Given the state of The economy, it is unlikely that redevelopment will occur in the immediate future. Therefore, a compromise has been worked out wherein the Fra-Dor operation would be allowed to continue to operate for a period of five years subject to conditions entering into an Interim Use Permit Agreement with the City. That agreement will outline key conditions, and the City Administrator noted the conditions as outlined in his report dated July 7, 2009, and as discussed by the Council at their workshop meeting on July 8, 2009. Some of the key conditions include: • A flue-year extension of the IUP; • The property will be put up for sale in three years; • Sale price will be based on an independent appraisal done by an appraiser that is mutually agreed upon by the Frattalone's and the City; • Redevelopment of the site is potentially with seven 5,000 to 6,000 square foot buildings or three 40,000 square foot buildings; • There is the potential for including additional property in the redevelopment process; • Water and sewer systems to be extended along Ryan Drive. The City Administrator noted the IUP Agreement terms will be somewhat fluid based on market conditions. He noted the excellent cooperation on the part of the Prattalone's in reaching this compromise, noting the City's ultimate goal to get the property redevelopment, while maintaining a viable business and employment base in current market conditions.
