interim community development director steve golden good evening steve thank
you mayor and council just say i have not no action items just a quick uh
update on some things that that's going on in the community development building
department attorneys are currently crisp asia and
mike stiff are currently working with gw the individual had the bid
or proposal for this city hall site the 1.8 million dollar proposal
on a contract we will present that once we um
have that finalized uh the price will be 1.8 million dollars there'll be some
stipulations in the contract that talks about time frame on the tear
this building down obviously when we move and make sure they don't tear down
until we're in the other city until the new city center
and a site plan that we all agree upon that's obviously heard loud and clear
from the council that you want to see the site plan and what's going to come
here prior to any sales so that's being worked on right now
we've had several meetings with developers on the index property the 40
acre parcel behind amazon we've had several meetings regarding the 74 acres
as we're reimagining the 74 acres the heightener property we met with west
point oceans atlantic and the heightener group
and we clearly told them this is what we want single-family for sale or townhome
for sale homes with retail
potentially some apartments but no more single-family rental uh we said it's got
to be for sale for the single family and for the townhomes so in the process of
putting together a land plan that meets your vision of that property
gas and wash uh met with them and talked to them this morning they want to move
forward and be under construction this summer however we still need to do a gap
analysis on their tiff request which was never done in the past and
we need to make sure engineering is complete and
they had made reference that they were looking to do the gas and wash and the
retail at the same time the 13 000 square foot retail center at the same
time and i think we should hold them to it if
we're going to allow a gas station go on the corner we need to make sure within a
certain time frame that that's under construction at the
same time so we're working on that and then the
last thing we're reimagining our web page under the
community development and building department
we are putting in several links to any map that developer could need to
utilize to make a decision to come here we're putting together a vacant property
list commercial retail property list that you'll click on and you'll see the
vacant property and who the broker is this will be a very uh user friendly web
page for potentially developers so that they can get all the information they
need about zoning streets tif districts whatever will have
all those type of maps and links on the web page so some sort of things we're
working on steve can i just say something
thank you for that professional explanation and
something that we should have seen all along thank you
so much for giving us that and the highlight reel and all the other things
i really appreciate it i i can only presume many other people do
thank you for your efforts thank you appreciate it thank you
any other questions of community development
okay thanks steve thank you uh moving on to our police department our
