Scott Storlien, resident at 140 N. McCarrons Blvd. commented: <br />Mr. Storlien owns the small single family home that is zoned for business which was <br />bought through a HUD sale. <br />The owner has had difficulty getting financing for improvements since the home is not in <br />compliance with zoning. <br />He would be interested in updating the home and has always thought that the only reuse <br />for the site would be for the adjoining owners for parking. <br />Loren Hockmeyer, resident at 161 Elmer Street (from phone conversation on 3/18/04) <br />Mr. Hockmeyer has owned the property since the late 80’s. <br />He plans to keep the west side of property as open space until or if he sells the property. <br />He has done some excavating on the site but no other activity. <br />The city currently owns the right of way between his two parcels <br />The east lot was zoned B1 and then rezoned R2 – he believes without proper notice – <br />City history does show that the property was B1 in the past. <br />No concerns or comments regarding the Guptil and Armory sites (it should be up to the <br />owners to develop the property). Donating some of the land as park area would be nice. <br />Meeting 3. <br />On December 18, 2003 the first Neighborhood Task Force meeting was held at the Galilee <br />Lutheran Church.
