4. CONSIDERATION OF MUELLER-LANSING OPTIONS
Jim Prosser of Ehlers & Associates presented seven options that were the result of a
meeting with the Mueller-Lansing Group and the City Planner. The criteria for these
options includes time, type of development, locations, how much land is available, the
options that would maximize the use of land, parking issues, and cost to the City.
Advantages and disadvantages of each option were noted.
Option 7, which is the option that Mueller-Lansing favors, is a reasonable option to be
considered, in Prosser's opinion. It calls for: 1) Mueller-Lansing agreeing to sell
property at value set by appraiser (option is available for condemnation if agreement is
not reached); 2) Park and Ride moved to Lost Lake; 3) City grants two year option to
Mueller-Lansing for development of pad on east side of block. Mueller-Lansing to pay
for pad at appraised price subject. Development and sale subject to city plan approval;
4) USPO drop off box to be relocated on site after consulting with Mueller-Lansing; 5)
Building pad only sold to Mueller-Lansing. Parking for building to be located in city
parking lot; and 6) Cost to build and maintain parking lot to be shared by users and
City.
Brown asked if the above option 'would impact True Value Hardware in any way.
Planner Bruce Chamberlain informed him that the hardware store would not be
impacted, and the plans show the hardware store's outside garden center, also.
