Council Meeting Minutes January 26, 1988 III 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Scott Goldsmith, attorney for 0 & T Trucking, asked where the city is in the process of the redevelopment, noting only the plat is on the agenda; Benke indicated the condemnation request was postponed because a Letter of Credit has not been received. Goldsmith asked if the Benke stated that was meetings over the last phases, and indicated him and go through the redevelopment portion had taken place; a part of discussion at several different few months and the project will proceed by staff and the developer will sit down with detailed plans. Goldsmith expressed concern that council will proceed without con- sidering what the consequences of Phase II and Phase III will be to the community; Benke indicated that that was a part of the dis- cussion at the last meeting.

In response to Goldsmith's question, Benke stated the city had en- tered into an agreement as if there would be consummation of the total package and that there will be a final plat approval prior to which time all issues will be considered. LeFevere stated if the preliminary plat is approved on the assump- tion that the development agreement will go forward and, if for any reason the plat is inappropriate, council may wish to add an additional condition that satisfactory concept progress is being made with respect to compliance with the develcpment agreement at that time. Locke advised that all of this property will pass through the city's ownership before it goes to the developer and the city would need to have the development agreement in complete confor- mance before any of the property is transferred. Locke indicated he will speak with 0 & T Trucking and their representatives about their concerns immediately, but the process will be the standard platting process. I Goldsmith felt the process seems to be taking shape well before that opportunity presents itself; it appears, in terms of redevel- opment as a whole, there seems to be a very conscientious effort to take what would be a present use consistent with the proposed redevelopment but exclude 0 & T Trucking; has presented possibili- ties on how the property might be improved and included with the redevelopment without the kind of damages that might result to 0 & Page 10
