I told him <br />based on the information from our Public Works, CLPD, City Staff, and residents the building needs to <br />come down for safety reasons. I also mentioned that we are trying to attract business to Centerville and <br />that building does not aid in that. Rich argued that the building is still structurally safe and does not <br />purpose any hazards to the city. I told him we could go around and around on this, but we will just have <br />to disagree. <br />I mentioned that we have been lenient because on the him removing the building because he had plans <br />for development. I also mentioned that everything has fallen through, but Waterworks is still standing. <br />I stated that he received a letter in July 2016 that something needed to be done and nothing has <br />happened and that is why we are were we are. <br />Rich showed me plans for 11 executive homes on the site and he has plans to sell his home and build a <br />smaller home on the Waterworks site. He wants to wait to remove Waterworks until they start <br />excavating the land were the new lots/homes would go. He said he has talked with Rice Creek and <br />believes he has everything figured out, but is going to get in touch with them and Mike Ericson again. I <br />asked what his time frame was for this and he said by summer. I told him this would be a different story <br />if we saw development happening and progress being made, but the past 15 years we have seen <br />nothing. I told him everything has to go through P and Z and they meet monthly and with al the permits <br />etc, this could take a long time and council may not want to wait that long. <br />59 <br />
