Motion carried. <br />DISCUSSION ON CITY OWNED PROPERTY MARKETING EFFORTS AND <br />PURCHASE AGREEMENT <br />The development team had a discussion with the EDA on their marketing efforts for the <br />City owned property. They made a presentation to the EDA on their efforts. The <br />development team also discussed a year extension of the purchase agreement for the <br />property. The purchase agreement expires June 21, 2011. <br />The development team showed the various site plans they have been working with to <br />marketing the property. They have been targeting restaurants as the first piece to the <br />development. They have also contacted the company that represents the former <br />Carpenters Restaurant property. The site plan includes a 12,000 square foot event center <br />that could be shared by two or three tenants. They also have created green space along <br />Egg Lake. They have an idea for the architecture, but the details are likely to change <br />depending on the tenants. The development team stated they want to do something <br />unique and interesting to spark interest in downtown Hugo. <br />Commissioner Puleo stated that the large event center would make the project unique and <br />thinks people will be interested. Commissioner Bever stated that parking will be an <br />important piece, make sure there is enough parking to accommodate the event center. The <br />development team stated that shared parking will likely be proposed with this project. <br />Commissioner Graff stated that he liked the restaurant and event center concept. He also <br />made a recommendation to the development team to survey the commissions to see what <br />restaurants they would like to see come to town and contact them. Commissioner Arcand <br />stated she would like to see more than one restaurant come to town and feels that Hugo <br />will be able to support more restaurants. <br />Commission Bever asked what if the City owned the event center. The development team <br />thought that was a good idea and would make the project a public/private partnership. <br />
