Staff has <br />conversed with the owners, who will be providing ideas for possible uses of the <br />Crossroad Pointe redevelopment site. One idea is to cooperate with a medical clinic to <br />locate to the site with the idea of providing services to the Bel Rae residents and <br />community. <br />F. Snyder Building <br /> <br />Staff is in regular contact with the realtor offering ideas and leads. The main issue is the <br />price and lack of parking. The asking price is $2.5 mill and the lease is over $14 p/sq. ft. <br />Staff continues to field phone calls from interested parties and m any businesses like the <br />location but can’t afford the price and/or require more parking spaces. Since it is <br />privately owned, the city can only suggest they reduce their price. <br /> <br />G.
