<br /> --., <br />The Final Development Plan is for a 7500 sq. ft. freestanding commercial building which <br />will be occupied by Blockbuster Video store and a future unnamed tenant. <br />The Planning Commission has reviewed this request and has adopted Resolution No. 18, <br />Series 1991, which recommends approval. <br />Szymanski: I have a letter that was given to me that they wanted on <br /> the record from the Village Square Business <br /> Association. "We as an association, as members of the <br /> business community and as citizens of this City are <br /> sending this tonight to speak out against changes made <br /> to the zoning of the new center. The success of this <br /> new shopping center can only be measured in terms of <br /> additional sales tax dollars brought into this City. It is <br /> only new tax dollars that will mean anything. The <br /> shopping center has already gone through the planning <br /> process. The developers have represented to the <br /> Planning Commission and the City Council what their <br /> plans were for this once pastoral piece of buffer <br /> property. They have now found out that no restaurant <br /> is interested in this property. This only helps to <br /> hammer home a point that we as business people who <br /> have worked in this area for many years already know, <br /> that we still do not possess the demographics to support <br /> more competing businesses. We can only surmise that <br /> the developers really do not care what they bring to this <br /> center and that their only goal is to get it filled, get it <br /> financed and get out of town. You as our City Council <br /> have the power to send the developers a message, "bring <br /> us businesses that we need as a community." If you <br /> allow this rezoning there will be a zero effect on the <br /> City's sales tax revenue. Ask yourself this, how many <br /> video outlets does this town really need. In our minds <br /> the answer is easy, not another one. Thank you for <br /> your time the Village Square Business Association." <br /> They wanted that on public record. <br />Hornbostel: Mr. Cudlip, what is the building that is going up on the <br /> very end, the one that is so tall and has a retaining wall? <br />Cudlip: That is a 10,000 sq. ft. retail building that was approved <br /> at the original... <br /> 10 <br />
