[7:57] interim community development director steve golden good evening steve thank

[8:01] you mayor and council just say i have not no action items just a quick uh

[8:04] update on some things that that's going on in the community development building

[8:07] department attorneys are currently crisp asia and

[8:11] mike stiff are currently working with gw the individual had the bid

[8:16] or proposal for this city hall site the 1.8 million dollar proposal

[8:22] on a contract we will present that once we um

[8:26] have that finalized uh the price will be 1.8 million dollars there'll be some

[8:30] stipulations in the contract that talks about time frame on the tear

[8:34] this building down obviously when we move and make sure they don't tear down

[8:38] until we're in the other city until the new city center

[8:42] and a site plan that we all agree upon that's obviously heard loud and clear

[8:46] from the council that you want to see the site plan and what's going to come

[8:49] here prior to any sales so that's being worked on right now

[8:53] we've had several meetings with developers on the index property the 40

[8:58] acre parcel behind amazon we've had several meetings regarding the 74 acres

[9:02] as we're reimagining the 74 acres the heightener property we met with west

[9:06] point oceans atlantic and the heightener group

[9:10] and we clearly told them this is what we want single-family for sale or townhome

[9:15] for sale homes with retail

[9:18] potentially some apartments but no more single-family rental uh we said it's got

[9:22] to be for sale for the single family and for the townhomes so in the process of

[9:28] putting together a land plan that meets your vision of that property

[9:33] gas and wash uh met with them and talked to them this morning they want to move

[9:37] forward and be under construction this summer however we still need to do a gap

[9:41] analysis on their tiff request which was never done in the past and

[9:46] we need to make sure engineering is complete and

[9:50] they had made reference that they were looking to do the gas and wash and the

[9:54] retail at the same time the 13 000 square foot retail center at the same

[9:58] time and i think we should hold them to it if

[10:01] we're going to allow a gas station go on the corner we need to make sure within a

[10:04] certain time frame that that's under construction at the

[10:08] same time so we're working on that and then the

[10:10] last thing we're reimagining our web page under the

[10:13] community development and building department

[10:16] we are putting in several links to any map that developer could need to

[10:22] utilize to make a decision to come here we're putting together a vacant property

[10:26] list commercial retail property list that you'll click on and you'll see the

[10:31] vacant property and who the broker is this will be a very uh user friendly web

[10:35] page for potentially developers so that they can get all the information they

[10:39] need about zoning streets tif districts whatever will have

[10:45] all those type of maps and links on the web page so some sort of things we're

[10:49] working on steve can i just say something

[10:56] something that we should have seen all along thank you
