MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />APRIL 24, 2013 <br />Next reviewed was "Seek Assisted Living Project ". The Administrator <br />reported that the Tony's Hair Salon recently sold, therefore, that site along <br />with the Winter's property may no longer be a viable redevelopment site <br />for an assisted living project. The Administrator also indicated that he <br />believes the City needs to know by the end of July whether or not <br />Presbyterian Homes is interested in a redevelopment site on Little Canada <br />Road. Blesener stated that he had heard that Presbyterian Homes had been <br />interested in the former Norm's property along with the two houses to the <br />west, but now that the Watershed purchased a portion of the property, the <br />area was not large enough. The Administrator indicated that Presbyterian <br />Homes indicated their need for a 5 to 10 acre site, and the former Norm's <br />site along with the two houses to the west never met that size criteria. The <br />Administrator also indicated that there may be funding available for an <br />assisted living project under Livable Communities. The Administrator <br />stated that he would see if the City could rejoin that program. <br />"Complete Pedestrian /Bike Trail System" was reviewed. The <br />Administrator noted that the Parks & Recreation Commission has <br />prioritized potential trail projects. The Council noted that this goal was <br />on- going, and the Council suggested that on- going goals of this nature <br />should be categorized as such. <br />"Continue to Find a Hotel /Motel Project for Little Canada" was <br />discussed with the Council noting that progress on this goal will not move <br />forward until the site is available. Council recommended this goal be <br />shifted to another category. <br />Next reviewed was "Focus on Redevelopment" with discussing focusing <br />on the Little Canada Road strip malls and the ownership's current <br />mortgage situation. <br />"Purchase Remaining Round Lake Properties" was reviewed with the <br />City Administrator indicating that he would contact the owners of the <br />remaining properties abutting Little Canada Road and Round Lake. <br />The Administrator reviewed "Complete Country Drive <br />Redevelopment" and indicated that he had sent a letter to the <br />Ketchmark's to determine if they would be interested in a voluntary sale <br />of their property or an option agreement. <br />"Evaluate Spot -Zoned Properties" was reviewed with Blesener <br />suggesting that the Bally's property be added to the List. The <br />Administrator reported that any Conditional Use Permits that were active <br />on the former Norm's property have not expired. <br />4 <br />
