City Council Minutes NORBERT MEIE{R, MARTIN: KAHAN: HERM FAUSON: SUPERIOR INTERCHANGE KAHAN: MARTIN: FAUSON: MARTI N : LEON WURL: FERRERA: MART IN: August 3, 1982 Page 6 From me, and not council as a whole, but when replanning this area, it has to be an acceptable use to the citiznes who really have gone a long way to support everything which you have done, and in my estimination, a residential area would not be an acceptable use. Residential does not pay its own way. We would not expect to have an alternative that is not acceptable. As previously stated, we will live up to our commitments and there will have to be some flex- ibility, we would like to plan the commercial with a smaller size,nonetheless plan together and that it makes economic sense. What effect does this have on the Superior Interchange Agreement? The interchange agreement provides that all terms and conditions will be irrevocable, unconditionally, and binding, on the developer, and any successor assigned to, regardless of whether any buildings are constructed. We will live by the agreement. I would think the agreement on the interchange is strictly up to the State, they have the money in hand, and Kahan just read the appropriate clause. The g r 0 u n d c 0 v e r_, t r e e s, e t c ., 0 nth e sit e; w ill you be attempting to reclaim this ground for the time being before a decision is made? We had a Fugitive Dust permit which has expired. We will be reapplying on a temporary basis, but our construction coordinator is here, and one of the things he is doing is preparing a cost estimate to do some reclamation work for the bare ground. A co mm en t. . . I c h e c ked wit h J a c k Kin s t 1 i n g e r , State Highway Director, and he indicated that it is the State's intention to proceed with the construction of the Superior Interchange. We have commitments to home builders regarding Via Appia Way and Pine St., what about those improvements? We are obligated under the subdivision agreement to complete those roads by October 1984, and we are not avoiding that responsibility. I do feel the completion of those roads is a lower priority until we can reassess the plan due to the carry- ing capacity of the roads, the levels of the grades fitting particular types of development.
