515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: July 23, 1999 <br />RE: Rice Street/Little Canada Road Redevelopment Update <br />Eminent Domain Proceedings for Guerin Property: <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />The City Attorney has prepared a memo summarizing the course of events from the <br />Commissioner's hearing held on July 19`h. As he indicates in his memo, we expect a decision by <br />the end of the month on this matter. The City Attorney can discuss this matter with you in <br />greater detail. <br />Christenson /Collyard Redevelopment Proposal: <br />The developers have informed me that they are making significant progress in the attraction of <br />major tenants for their redevelopment concept. It is anticipated that we will be meeting with <br />some of the key tenants within the next two to three weeks. As I am sure you are aware, we keep <br />shifting the deadline for some significant action out two or three weeks every Council meeting. <br />While the City is not the driving force behind this project, I believe we are once again reaching a <br />point where we need to bring some certainty to this matter. While I do not feel it is necessary to <br />impose any specific deadlines given the City is not actively pursuing this project, I do believe we <br />need to see some significant progress by the end of August. There are other issues we need to <br />deal with in the foreseeable future that the status of this project would impact. <br />JRH:kpp <br />cc: Gary Collyard <br />PAGE 142 <br />
