MINUT~S CITY COUNCIL MARCH 25, 1998 Wise has talked to Chris Moarn and indicated to him that the theater development plan is moving forward and things are looking good. Moarn has also indicated that he is more optimistic about the development of office uses in the redevelopment area. The Administrator indicated that Carmike and Regal theater groups have some key people on vacation this week, and hoped the City would hear something from these groups soon. The Administrator reported that the Guerin Family Partnership has a Right to Entry prepared for the property which would allow the City access to their site to do environmental work. The Administrator reported that he has discussed the type of environmental work which would be necessary with Re/Spec who indicated that a phase two was not necessary given that the PCA has already addressed the tank removal issues.

The Administrator reported that typically a phase one would cost $1,250 and review of a PCA file would be $500.
