Biorklund asked that the City requir•e both buildings to be constr•ucted at the same time. B,ior•klund also requested that the residential ar~ea be developed at the same time as the commer•cial ar~ea. Fahey pointed out that the City can withhold occupancy per•mits on one or• both of the commercial buildings until the r~oad is improved in the r•esidential area. Boosalis r•eported that he has a builder interested in the r~esidential lots. The only question at this time is whether• or• not the pr~oject is financially feasible.
