MEMO T0: MAYOR AND CITY COUNAll <br />�FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR 1 <br />DATE: JULY 16, 1987 <br />SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FROM BELAIR COMPANIES TO DEVELOP <br />MILLER PROPERTY <br />Attached to this memorandum please find a letter from <br />Mr. John E. Stenglein, Director of Marketing/Advertising for <br />Belair Companies regarding his firm's proposal to develop <br />the Miller property. I requested this letter from Belair <br />Companies as a result of two meetings I have held with them <br />regarding this proposal. The representatives of Belair <br />Companies have been relatively concerned and insistent about <br />being assured that their proposal is acceptable to the City <br />prior to undertaking the extensive work that will be <br />required of them. <br />Staff concerns with respect to this project are as follows: <br />1. Although the developer is proposing to enter <br />into a contractual agreement with the City <br />outlining the limitations of their reclama- <br />tion operation and requirements for their <br />presentation of conceptual and final develop- <br />ment plans, they state that they do not anti- <br />cipate that ultimate development of the project <br />will occur for a period of between 10 and 15 <br />years from this date. <br />2. Should the project not develop, the City should <br />have a deadline whereby either development work <br />commences or the reclamation operation ceases and <br />have a significant bond, e.g. $1 million, to <br />provide that the site can be returned to its <br />previous state. <br />3. Does a surface, i.e. concrete and asphalt, <br />reclamation operation seem to be a suitable use <br />for this site on a temporary basis and how <br />temporary should that use bet <br />It is Staff's hope that a general discussion of the proposal <br />of Belair Company can occur at your July 20th meeting and <br />the Council can either indicate to the developer that you <br />are open to their proposal and outline what conditions you <br />feel should be placed upon it or, that their proposal is not <br />within your view as being reasonable. Finally, it should be <br />pointed out that Mr. Miller has indicated that he is <br />prepared to begin developing this project at his own expense <br />should the City reject the proposal of. the Belair Companies. <br />DF'P/m j s <br />Attachment: <br />
