DISCUSSION/MOTION - LICENSE AGREEMENT: 641 MAIN STREET Tom Phare, Public Works Director, stated that the Public Works Department had been approached regarding the possible sale of the property at the southwest corner of Pine and Main Street. There was an improvement survey done and found that there was a possible encroachment into the rights- of-way for the existing structure and some of the proposed additions to that existing structure that the buyer intends to make. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. Brian Helwig, Real Estate Broker/Caldwell Banker, Boulder, Colorado, representing the buyer, was available to answer any questions. Davidson called for Council questions. Howard asked what the structure would be used for. Helwig stated that the building would be extensively remodeled and will be an upscale espresso coffee/tea shop with muffins, bagels, and probably lunch sandwiches. Eventually, they would turn this into an expanded restaurant. Lathrop felt the right-of-way encroachment might be a problem years down the road. Mayer asked how many square feet was involved. Helwig stated that the encroachment was 4.5 feet. Mayer asked Tom Phare, Public Works Director, if the city had an interest in this easement. Phare was unsure, until it is studied, if the city should give up their interest in that parcel. Levihn pointed out that Karen's, Blue Parrott, and Bud's service station are all right against the sidewalk. Levihn wanted the subject of sight for right-hand tums addressed. Sisk wanted this lease agreement presented at the same time as the PUD. Nancy Campbell, Fowler Real Estate/Better Homes & Gardens, Boulder, Colorado, stated that the encroachment was discovered after the fact and there were some deadlines that they were trying to meet, which was why this was being presented fight now. Susan Griffiths stated that the license agreement needed to be done by Ordinance.
