As you may recall TOLD Development Co. has expressed an <br /> interest in acquiring both properties so that they could construct a Walgreens store and an <br /> additional building that could be occupied by a restaurant or a clinic. TOLD has proposed trading <br /> approximately 7.4 acres of the Videen property for the 1.5 acre city-owned property. TOLD <br /> would relocate the storm water pond on the city-owned remnant parcel at their cost. TOLD has <br /> also indicated a willingness to contribute towards the cost of recreational improvements which <br /> could be constructed on the 7.4 acres. <br /> The City Council has referred this matter to the Park and Recreation Commission and the <br /> Planning Commission for input. The Park and Recreation Commission considered this matter on <br /> October 27, 1999. The Park and Recreation Commission generally supported the proposed land <br /> swap. The Planning Commission on December 1, 1999 passed the attached resolution also <br /> generally supporting the proposed land swap. <br /> TOLD Development Co. representatives will be present at the December 13, 1999 City Council <br /> meeting to discuss their proposal further with the City Council. <br /> If the City Council wishes to proceed with this matter a plat will have to be prepared to create <br /> legal parcels so the land swap can occur, and a PUD developed by the developer and submitted <br /> to the City for approval. Other zoning related approvals may also be required. <br /> Necessary Actions: <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council determine how or if the City should proceed with this <br /> matter. <br /> Rick Jopke, Community Development Director <br /> N:\DATA\USERS\Rickj\SHARE\121399 TOLD Staff Report.doc <br />
