moving on community development our

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
[10:52] thank you for that professional
explanation and
[10:56] something that
