Mr. Joel Hanson <br />City Attorney Mr. Tom Sweeney <br />Prop. Owner Mr. Carl Schroeder <br />The purpose of this evening~s special meeting is to <br />consider the extension of a moratorium in B-3 Zoning <br />Districts of the City and to consider redevelopment <br />issues involving the Rice Street and Little Canada Road <br />area. <br />Mayor Fahey explained that he requested this meeting <br />based on conversations he has had with some property <br />owners impacted by the Gateway Project. Specifically, <br />Dr. Allen and Roy Guerin did not agree with the <br />statements made by Mr. Collyard at our workshop meeting <br />of February 15, 1995. The Mayor further indicated that <br />Mr. Guerin has stated that he will be pursuing a <br />filling station development on his property located at <br />the corner of Rice Street and Little Canada Road as <br />soon as the moratorium on B-3 Zoning Districts is <br />lifted. Fahey recommended to the Council that we <br />extend the moratorium for the redevelopment area as <br />long as legally possible and authorize staff to enter <br />into negotiations for the purchase of the Guerin <br />property. Should negotiations not be fruitful, then we <br />should proceed with condemnation actions to acquire <br />that site. <br />1 <br />
