He stated that the stalemate with negotiations is not with him or Mr. Rehbein but with staff relating to what was approved in April of 1998. Mr. Baylor stated that he and Mr. Rehbein have started to discuss the development and are making progress. He stated he cannot imagine how this Developer's Agreement will include a 429 eminent domain project and be more simple than the document he requested in accordance with the agreement reached in April of 1998. Mayor Sullivan stated her understanding that in April the Council approved private development of a road to McDonald's and it was the intent of the Staff recommendation that the road be turned back to the City after development because that is what typically happens. Mayor Sullivan stated that Mr. Baylor has asked for fair market value when the City takes the road over and her concern is that the City has no way to purchase the property from Mr. Baylor. Mr. Baylor stated he has already delayed the project for three to four months and it may be next fall before the project proceeds but he wants to assure that on March 1st, with the conditions adhered to he can start construction.
