Commissioner Denaway asked about the cost per square foot to construct the building. <br />The development team stated approximately $150 per square foot. <br />Commissioner Granger, who is on a temporary leave, was in the audience and stated that <br />event space does not have a lot of cash flow, but maybe the shell can be constructed and <br />the build outs can be sold. This will need to move quick since the bridge construction <br />across I -35E is almost complete. <br />Commission Klein asked the development team what their biggest hurtle has been. The <br />development team stated the location has been struggle, but they feel the area and <br />location has high potential. Commissioner Arcand asked if free land would bring a <br />restaurant to this location. The development team stated that free land does have an <br />impact, but a public/private partnership may be more enticing. EDA President Miron <br />stated that the purchase agreement assumes the City will be a partner is some way, <br />whether is TIF or a reduction of the purchase price. He stated that this issue will need <br />further discussion. Commissioner Granger and Miron stated that would involve <br />presenting numbers as to what the cost would be to the City. There would need to be <br />discussions with the Finance Director and discussion on the administration. <br />The EDA stated that they appreciated the work and innovation the development team has <br />been doing for the property. <br />Graff made a motion, seconded by Bever, to extend the purchase agreement for one year. <br />All aye. Motion carried. <br />DISCUSSION ON FLEXIBLE OFFICE SPACE <br />Graff made a motion, seconded by Klein, to table this item until the next meeting. <br />All aye. Motion carried. <br />DISCUSSION ON COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES <br />The EDA reviewed the draft commercial and industrial design guidelines. The EDA <br />discussed four sided architecture and wanted to ensure that buildings that were close <br />together and sides of buildings that are not easily seen have flexibility on four sided <br />design. Staff stated that as long as the architectural elements are wrapped around the <br />building and designed properly there is some flexibility. The guidelines allow flexibility <br />for industrial buildings in regards to areas with loading docks that may already be <br />screened with berms or landscaping. Commissioner Puleo asked about flexibility on <br />specialty types of operations that are allowed in commercial districts, for example <br />greenhouses. Staff stated that most specialty types of businesses are only allowed with a <br />conditional use permit and staff would work with the applicant at that time on meeting <br />the guidelines. In the case of greenhouses, the intent of Section 90-256 Plant Nurseries is <br />to allow landscaping plants, shrubs, and trees, to be grown as an agricultural activity. <br />DISCUSSION ON TAX ABATEMENT <br />
