Mayor Kingsford, is there someone present to represent this request?
Mr. Doug Fraser,F~aser, I am asking Council approval to construct a
combined residence and space for use as a sales and service of Computers
and VCR's at the corner of King and Meridian Street.
Mayor Kingsford, are there any questions of the Council?
Tolsma, do you have any problems with the recommendations of the City
or the ACHD?
Fraser, no, with the exception of curbs and sidewalks they recommended
this would be an isolated section of sidewalks and curbs and I would
like to put that off until such time as the whole street was done.and
then I would be glad to particate in the project.
Brewer, I have no problems with this request.
Giesler, I would have no problems with this, I can see his point of
wanting to put off until such time as the rest of the street was
completed.
The Motion was made by Tolsma and seconded by Giesler to adopt and
approve the Findings of Fact and Conclusions as prepared for the
Planning & Zoning Commission:
Motion Carried: All Yea:
The Motion was made by Giesler and seconded by Tolsma to approve
the request for a Conditional. Use Permit by Douglas and Barbara
Fraser and delete the recommendation of ACRD for curbs, gutters
and sidewalks until such time as the other properties along the
streets are curbed & guttered and sidewalk installed.
Motion Carried: All Yea:

Item #2: Eagle Road Mall Site Agreement:
Mr. Phil Davidson, Claremont Development Company was present.
Davidson, I believe an apology is in need to the Mayor & Council,
there is no doubt that we made a bad error in judgement in the
last group we got involved with. They came to us from California
and they took a look at Westpark and at the Eagle Road Site and
they agreed with us that there was no question that Eagle Road
should be the spot for a Regional Mall. We signed an agreement with
them and for a short time they became our partner. We checked them
out from a financial stand point and from a expertise stand point
and they checked out good. I think i~± this case they just did not
give it the time to get the job done. I did not follow it up close
enough to be over here with them. I do apologize for that, not
showing up for the meetings, there was no excuse whatsoever. I
want to tell you tonite, with your approval, that we are planning
to move full steam ahead on this thing. I met with the property
owners today and they are willing to continue to work with us. I
had a financial partner in town with whom I am working on four
center in Washington with. and he is all in favor of proceeding.
I would propose that I get up here as quickly as possible and set
down with the Committee that worked on the Development Agreement
last time and work out a new agreement where we are given specified
dates for performance as we move along. I would be more than will-
ingly to come back in the next couple of weeks and meet with the
Committee and meet approximately one month from tonite have come
up with a plan and show you what we have in mind.
Mayor Kingsford, Does the Council have any questions of Mr. Davidson?
Brewer, basically what you are saying is that the negotiations will
be starting all over again just as they did with Mr. Price?
Davidson, I would say that would be fair, that we would go for the
development agreement again and make sure it agrees with what we have
in mind.
Brewer, as long as it is along the same lines as before with .the
financial agreements and such , I believe the Committe would be
willing to spend some time again.
Davidson, we have no objection to paying our fair share of the
cost of extra services that we are going to have to bring in, if
we are nzst talking about a 1,500,000 square foot center some of the
dollars figures and other items might change. We would be willing
to set down with the committee and discuss these items.
There was discussion that if the size went under 750,000 square
footage the Comp Plan would have to be again amended as that is
minimum. size for a Regional Shopping Mall.
Mayor Kingsford, I would recommend to the Committee and you Mr.
Davidson that you include Mr. Crookston in at least some of the
meetings so there is not a paper work shuffle back and forth that
take up a lot of time.

Giesler, I am disappointed in what has transpired but would be more
than happy to set down and try to work a solution out. We would like
to be kept informed as to what is going on, we have been putting this
off and extending the time for three months now and would like to
get going on this if something can be worked out.
Davidson, I can assure you, we will keep in touch.
Mayor Kingsford, who was the head of the Committe before, was that
you Mr. Tolsma, would you be willingly to head this up again so Mr.
Davidson knows who to contact?
Mr. Tolsma advised he would again head the Committee.
Mayor Kingsford, Mr. Davidson if you would then contact Mr. Tolsma
and make arrangments for the meeting and again I would like you to
include Mr. Crookston.
Department Reports:
Brewer, I would like to mention one more time for the record there
apparently has been no response to the letters that have been sent
to Mr. Jim Johnson in reference to the property at the corner of
Carlton and East First Street, there needs to be definately a change
in the Conditional Use Permit or a new zoning. I would like to see
something happen.
Tolsma, one thing I would like to bring up is I have had some public
comments from residents of the condition of the Russ Johnson property
as well as the amount of disrepaired vehicles and other accumulation
that is located on the Dobaron property. These properties are located
at the entrance to the City and do not present a good image.
The City Clerk was instructed to write a letter to these owners
regarding the appearance of their property.
Mayor reminded the Council and Attorney of the AIC Legislative
Dinner which is scheduled this Thursday, November 20.
Mayor Kingsford also advised the Council of the Special Meeting
scheduled for 5:00 p.m. on Monday the 24th of November to open the
bids for the Water & Sewer Extension across the Freeway.
Being no further business to come before the Council the Motion was
made by Brewer and seconded by Tolsma to adjourn at 7:45 p.m.:
Motion Carried: All Yea:
