The Associate Planning Director addressed the Agency and
provided some of the background relative to the Planning
Commission recommendation
It was noted that the approval of this recommendation would
allow the Planning Commission to begin a preliminary re-
development plan This plan, when ultimately approved, would
direct the processes and types of redevelopment
' Louis Zimmerli, 925 W lot Street, President of the Chamber
of Commerce addressed the Agency He suggested the three
separate units be connected together, if only by a street
width He further suggested the Agency establish a committee
to do the necessary leg work relative to the redevelopment
plan
The City Attorney noted State law no longer required all parts
of the project are to be contiguous
Robert Tremaine, Development Coordinator Manager of the
Chamber of Commerce noted that while the law does not require
the units to be contiguous, a developer told him Bond
Companies prefer contiguous units
The City Attorney noted if this were needed it can be done
later.
