MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION November 9, 1989 DeLonais pointed out the Planner's concern about truck traffic at the back of the buildings. The architect for the project stated that he agreed that there needed to be adequate manuevering room for truck traffic. The architect reported that the next step would be the development stage, and these types of concerns would be addressed. Brueggeman also pointed out the Planner's concerns about curb cuts and stated that these could be moved to increase the distance between the curb cuts and Nadeau Road. This was another area that would be addressed in the development stage. Drabik asked about truck unloading. The architect reported that truck traffic would occur during normal working hours. The architect also explained the type of businesses that would be tenants generate very little truck traffic, most of which is panel delivery trucks. However, there may be some semi -truck traffic. Proper circulation and turning radius would be provided. Costa asked if Brueggemann had obtained options on the residential homes. Brueggemann replied that he had not. Brueggeman went on to explain the importance of getting tax increment financing on the first buildings to make the purchase of the residential homes feasible. Costa asked what will happen if Brueggemann does not purchase these homes. Brueggemann replied that the homeowners are free to sell their property to whomever they wish. Brueggemann explained that the moratorium on the area has been lifted. Brueggemann reported that he has information on the asking prices for these homes, and the prices seem to tie in with the overall plan for development of the area. However, it is not feasible for him to purchase the homes at this time. TIF is needed to make the redevelopment of the homes financially feasible. Costa asked if the City would condemn the homes. Brueggemann replied that condemnation was not discussed. Page 7
