Revitalization Commission Minutes September 8, 2014 Page 6 of 6 Commissioner Lathrop finds it comforting that DELO is developing the entire area so it is in DELO interest to do a good job. Randy Caranci said the design of building lacks creativity. He agrees with Commissioner Lathrop; this looks like any other town's strip mall. McClure said it is better then what is there now. Redevelop will provide good tax base. He feels that it is a great development. Commissioner Gorsevski asked if there is time to rethink it? McClure said this is how Tebo wants his project. Russ said staff has had conversations with Tebo as well. Tebo knows retail. He is reluctant to make it more pedestrian. DeJong summarized the comments expressed: parking and access is a challenge and it is visually not attractive. Russ said the parking lot can be made more inviting. Commissioner Tofte said the LRC can put money toward the project to make it more inviting. Maybe LRC can incentivize the west or east view. McClure agreed saying perhaps an easement facade. Russ suggested a facade grant Commissioner Lathrop said the technical issues should be forwarded and the parking lot access Commissioner Tofte said to forward the LRC impressions. Public Comments: None Commissioners' Comments — Chair Becker asked that everyone have access to a calendar for the next meeting. Commissioner Gorsevski told RMCS timeline is key to DELO. If there is something the LRC can do to assist, bring it to LRC. McClure said Comcast and Regional Detention. McClure would like to bring a construction schedule.
