To encourage redevelopment of existing <br />commercial and retail facilities and to <br />upgrade the diversity and quality of the <br />community's retail base. <br />3. To promote appropriate continued utilization <br />of available recreational and community <br />areas in existing public school facilities. <br />4. To evaluate and address potential environmental <br />concerns related to the utilization of fly <br />ash in industrial parks as landfill. <br />Low <br />Priorities: 1. To encourage and promote the location of <br />additional restaurant and/or hotels. <br />2. To improve the community's accessibilities <br />to the metro interstate freeway system. <br />Scalze asked if seeking and attracting new business should be listed <br />as a priority. <br />Nielson noted that this was a marketing function, and it was his <br />understanding that the City wanted to handle this in-house. <br />Fahey reported that the City wanted to establish objectives, get <br />a plan in place and then have Nielson's firm do prospecting for the <br />City. The City Council did not feel, however, there was the need <br />for establishment of a community development corporation. <br />Lee pointed out the lack of land in the City that could be developed <br />with heavy industrial buildings, noting that he has a users fior two <br />buildings and needs a 10 acre site to develop. However, there is <br />no 10 acre site with good soils in the Cit.y that could sooport the <br />buildings he needs. Lee also pointed out the difficulty he has had <br />with locating his Slumberland buildings on his site in the Centerville <br />Road area due to the poor soils in that area. <br />Lee pointed out that one of the few options open to the City would <br />be a redevelopment area for the property along tJoodlyn Avenue. <br />Lee stated that his point is if the City prospects for industrial <br />users, there is no land in the City for such development with adequate <br />soils. <br />Scalze reported that the Council has been informed that the Centerville <br />Road property will support one-story construction. <br />Page -3- <br />
