Exhibit C • Memo To: Terri Blattenbauer From:Rick Jopke CC: Date: 10/19/99 Re: Property South of the Community Center As I indicated to you over the phone the City Council has requested that the Planning and Park and Recreation Commissions to review a proposal for the property located immediately south of the Community Center. There is a 9.4 acre privately owned parcel known as the Midland Videen parcel and 1.5 acre remnant city owned parcel adjacent to it that was created when Edgewood Drive was realigned. A major portion of the Midland Videen parcel is a wetland. TOLD Development Co. has offered to IIIbuy the Midland Videen parcel and the City remnant parcel in order to construct a Walgreens store and a small retail/restaurant building on the site. They have indicated that they would be willing to donate the wetland area to the City. As an alternative they could just build the Walgreens store and only need to have the City vacate the old Edgewood right-of-way and sell it to them. The remainder of the remnant parcel would remain under city ownership. Bob Cunningham from TOLD Development Co. will be present at the October 27th Park and Recreation Commission meeting to present their alternative designs to the Commission and answer any questions that the commission might have. The Park and Recreation Commission could then provide a recommendation to the City Council. The Planning Commission has scheduled a study session that night for 7pm. If this matter could be early on the Park and Recreation agenda I would invite the Planning Commission to come early and listen to the presentation also. I have attached some background materials that will provide some history and more details. If you have any questions, give me a call. • 1
