EDC Minutes December 16, 2009 Page 4 of 5 D. 2010 Goals/Projects Mr. Kunkel stated the annual business meeting was also an effective way to draw together the local businesses, whether through a luncheon or breakfast. He suggested this be held again in June of 2010. The Commission was in favor with this suggestion. UPDATES A. TCAAP & Other Projects Community Development Director Lehnhoff noted there were several new developments with TCAAP. He indicated the public auction was moving forward and the first bidder's conference was held in October. The auction was anticipated to be held next summer. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated the City would need to have land use regulations in place before that time. The Council did try and pursue a regional park for the TCAAP site, which was unsuccessful. However, the Board did have interest in a portion of the property for recreational uses. Community Development Director Lehnhoff indicated the Council will likely be passing a resolution of support for a 150 foot wide trail corridor along the eastern side of the property from the wildlife corridor to County Road 96. This land would be County property and would allow for access to the AHATS site. Community Development Director Lehnhoff reviewed a map of the property with the superfund sites, not at an industrial development level. He explained these spots would normall have to be y cleaned before a sale, but the Army was looking at licensing the superfund sites until they are cleaned. Mr. Kunkel questioned if this would be a one owner purchase. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated this would be the case. Chair von Holtum asked how the Army was qualifying potential buyers. Community Development Director Lehnhoff indicated the City was given this information or how the Army was going to assure the superfund sites would be cleaned. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated the City was trying to get a list of potential buyers that attended the bidder's conference. At this time, the information was unavailable, but it appears there was only one buyer attending, Ryan Companies. Further discussion ensued regarding the access issues to the TCAAP site along with the potential land uses for the area.
