111
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:40,240
this building down obviously when we

112
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:45,120
until we're in the other city until the
new city center

113
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:48,480
and a site plan that we all agree upon
that's obviously heard loud and clear

114
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:52,080
from the council that you want to see
the site plan and what's going to come

115
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:55,040
here prior to any sales so that's being
worked on right now

116
00:08:53,839 --> 00:09:00,399
we've had several meetings with
developers on the index property the 40

117
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:05,200
acre parcel behind amazon we've had
several meetings regarding the 74 acres

118
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,600
as we're reimagining the 74 acres the
heightener property we met with west

119
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:12,320
point
oceans atlantic and the heightener group

120
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:17,040
and we clearly told them this is what we
want single-family for sale or townhome

121
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:20,959
for sale homes
with retail

122
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:25,360
potentially some apartments but no more
single-family rental uh we said it's got

123
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:30,320
to be for sale for the single family and
for the townhomes so in the process of

124
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:35,519
putting together a land plan that meets
your vision of that property

125
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:39,519
gas and wash uh met with them and talked
to them this morning they want to move

126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:44,000
forward and be under construction this
summer however we still need to do a gap

127
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,760
analysis on their tiff request which was
never done in the past and

128
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:51,839
we need to
make sure engineering is complete and

129
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:57,440
they had made reference that they were
looking to do the gas and wash and the

130
00:09:54,160 --> 00:10:00,000
retail at the same time the 13 000
square foot retail center at the same

131
00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:03,120
time
and i think we should hold them to it if

132
00:10:01,839 --> 00:10:06,480
we're going to allow a gas station go on
the corner we need to make sure within a

133
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,120
certain time frame
that that's under construction at the

134
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,920
same time
so we're working on that and then the

135
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,360
last thing
we're reimagining our web page under the

136
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:19,680
community development
and building department

137
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:25,040
we are putting in several links
to any map that developer could need to

138
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:28,959
utilize to make a decision to come here
we're putting together a vacant property

139
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:33,519
list commercial retail property list
that you'll click on and you'll see the

140
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:37,839
vacant property and who the broker is
this will be a very uh user friendly web

141
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:42,240
page for potentially developers so that
they can get all the information they

142
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:47,519
need about zoning
streets tif districts whatever will have

143
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:51,040
all those type of maps and links on the
web page so some sort of things we're
