Business Retention & Development Committee <br />Meeting Minutes <br />August 4, 2014 <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />REPORTS FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS: <br />Commissioner Menaker asked if there has been any interest in the StorageTek site. DeJong <br />said he has talked to the State; it is non - marketable from the State's perspective. No business is <br />looking at that size site. Any interest includes a significant residential component. <br />Commissioner Menaker believes the height restriction is an obstacle. <br />Chair Dalton said BRaD will sponsor a Commercial Broker Roundtable soon. <br />DeJong said the flurry of multi - family housing being built is just catching up from few projects <br />being built since the 2008 recession. <br />COMMENTS: <br />Commissioner Lathrop said the south side of town is very inconvenienced by the County Road <br />bridge being out. The impact is very high. City Manager Fleming explained that the Federal <br />Highway Administration (FHWA) is holding it up and if it were a City project, it would be done <br />already. Fleming shares Commissioner Lathrop's frustration and has asked for Governor <br />Hickenlooper's help in exerting pressure on FHWA. <br />Randy Caranci said there is a lot of pedestrian traffic on Front Street between Pine and the <br />Grain Elevator site. The area needs more street lighting as it is pretty dark at night. <br />Mike Kranzdorf said the Thai Monkey Club opened and the food is very good. <br />DISCUSSION ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING: <br />Buz Koelbel to attend to discuss Centennial Valley. <br />ADJOURN — The meeting adjourned at 9:05 am <br />
