He said a single response was received from Southern Development who wants to combine the City property with their property for development. He said if the property is conveyed to Southern Development, they will apply for a special use permit. He said they currently have by-right development rights for 64 units on their property. He said combining their property with the City’s will result in a more creative development that will preserve open space and will move the commercial and residential use closer to the street. He listed key benefits of the proposal as follows: will create a gateway building; will add office space; will preserve green space; will provide infill development opportunities; will put the parcels on the tax rolls; and will bring in $325,000 in annual revenue to the City. He said Southern Development has also requested a small piece of right-of-way so that the project can be pulled more toward the street. He said the price of $253,000 has been agreed upon, which could go to an affordable housing fund for use in Fifeville. He said the developers plan to pursue LEED certification. He said there will be an option for a transit stop, public access will be allowed to the open space, and there is an option to lease space for a police substation if desired. Mr. Engel said the development process is likely to take two to two and a half years.
