Council Meeting Minutes January 26, 1988 I T at much less cost and less exposure to the city as well; and his efforts have received a cold shoulder from the city. Goldsmith asked, if decisions have been made and the process has gone beyond their constructive input, what can D & T do, what can be done, what are their options; and indicated D & T has spent a substantial amount of time and money with Perry Anderson on pre- paring plans, proposed additions, and improvements which they be- lieve will be consistent with the redevelopment. Locke stated the council had approved the development agreement that encompasses the entire area which includes D & T Trucking; it was added to our redevelopment district over a year ago; has had several conversations with representatives of D & T Trucking and is willing to continue discussing the possibilities of their busi- ness in this site. Locke advised council that 0 & T Trucking's outside storage makes it difficult for them to conform with the basic concept of industrial use that the development agreement calls for in this district. I Locke stated he will continue working with 0 & T Trucking and noted, at this point, the plan in Phase I does not entail any uf 0 & Tis property; it continues to have access; if they wish to pro- pose some form of development of their property, it is their right to proceed through the normal zoning, planning, and development process; we are only preparing acquisition actions on the Phase I properties, and is working with Brighton Corporate Park to try to facilitate development of Phase I at this time. Goldsmith expressed frustration because there has been some attempt to tie the development agreement to a completion of the project, not just Phase I; no one has put forth a concrete plan as to what will happen in Phase II and Phase III and they would like to have some input into that and to whether or not the two addi- tional phases are required; a little concerned about the city pro- ceeding with blinders for Phase I and no consideration for Phase II and Phase III. Goldsmith asked why there is a disinterest in D & T Trucking, and stressed the importance of looking at the entire project. Benke also expressed frustration because of the number of meetings held on this proposal; there are some general concept plans, but not site plans which we will not receive until final plans. Goldsmith is encouraged that they will have the opportunity for input. I Williams asked if there had ever been a meeting between 0 & T Trucking, the developer, and staff at the same time; Goldsmith stated he was not aware of such a joint meeting; has not found any alternative that would not have severe consequences to 0 & T Trucking; understands there was no particular plan for Phase II and Phase III; had attempted to be a part of that.
