Lendway felt that the existing businesses should be <br />~iven some peace. <br />Fahey pointed out that the soluYion may be to relocate the existing <br />businesses into a building on the Guerin and Budget Power sites. <br />Vitale pointed out that none of this is worth doing without a draw. <br />Fahey suggested that the City give Cinemark another two weeks. LaValle <br />asked if Moarn was confident that Kim Wise would be here in two weeks. <br />Ivloarn replied that he thought he would Ue here this evening.

A theater wil] provide a strong draw for the area. <br />Moarn felt it was worth waiting another two weeks, and indicated that he <br />will try his best to get i{im Wise here for the meeting. <br />Moarn further indicated that he feels he can design a building for the <br />Guerin/f3udget Power corner and h2ve it priced out within 30 days. <br />Moarn suggested tl~at he meeY with tl~e existing businesses to determine <br />their interest and the size space they would require. <br />Scalze asl<ed if appraisal infonnation has been submitted to the propeRy <br />owners. <br />The City Administrator replied thlt he has received the last of the review <br />appraisals, and tl~at information will be submitted to tl~e property owners. <br />Fahey stated that he would like to see redevelopment efforts scaled down <br />on the north side of Little Canada Road. Pedersen asked what that will do. <br />Fahey replied that he would like Dr. Allen's property as well as 93 West <br />Little Canadl Road eliminated from the City's redevelopment efforts. <br />Fahey pointed out the relocltion costs the City would have to pay, and <br />suggested thlt a private developer could ne~;otiate a better deal.
