I I I Council Minutes August 28, 1984 Dennis Fundmeister, 769 - 10th Avenue NW, attended all Planning Commission meetings. Concerned about guarantees. Harcus explained Development Agreement guarantees. Winkels explained what would happen in the event of default. Fundmeister asked if residents would be paid piecemeal; Winkels responded that the city would buy all the properties at once, simultaneous acquisitions. Winkels also explained that there would be no lost taxes during development. Ron Waldock, 889 Highway 100, stated he had checked the traffic and saw no problem. Jim Doherty, 751 - lOth Ave.NW, is against the project. Winkels stated the city would not be selling corrected and buidable land; the land would be sold in "as is" condition. Motion by Schmidt, seconded by Blomquist, to close the public hearing. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Blomquist asked about the storm sewer capabilities; Proper responded it's a good system that was put in in 1979 when lOth Street was upgraded and there would be no need to add a trunk sewer and that only minor installations (drains) would be needed in parking lots at applicant's cost. Schmidt commented he was on the Planning Commission when the language was drafted into the Comprehensive Plan; rather than spotty areas (restaurant, doctor's office) the language says it would have to be a total commercial project all the way down to where the apartments are because back then people saw that corridor as a gateway to the city, recognizing that we couldn't no anything about where the freeway went. Although McCullogh's hotel project didn't work out in the past, they suggested we build from the fringes inward. Believes this counci 1 has been very di 1 i qent in efforts to work II'i th commer- cial and residential developers to imrpove the imaqe of the community and the quality of the developments.
