Message Barnhart, Jeremy From: Dan.Tveite@wellsfargo.com Sent: Friday, June 08, 2007 10:58 AM To: Barnhart, Jeremy Cc: Mehelich, Catherine; Clark, Scott; Jeff@elkriverchamber.org Subject: RE: Gateway concepts My thoughts from yesterday's conversation: Page 1 of 2 • Ideally, we look at this parcel in a comprehensive fashion incorporating city owned property and privately owned property . We need to reach out to the private land owners to verify their plans and to see if they are willing to work with us. Given the long-term local presence and standing in the community of these owners, we need to extend as much courtesy as possible. • We should keep open the option of buying the private properties if the owners are amenable to selling at a reasonable price. • Even though the market survey wasn't optimistic about commercial/retail along highway 10, I still think the highway offers an asset; maybe not today but down the road (i.e., 5 years) so t would want to keep an eye towards this use fronting the highway. • With the above parameters, my preference of the 3 options is B with the revision from "big box" to "commercial" to allow ourselves as much flexibility to address potential users as possible. I also like this option because of the industrial presence away from the highway and near the RDF plant. . My statements are made under the assumption that we don't have any immediate pressure (either a definitive proposal or even an inkling of possible developments) to bring this land online and thus should keep our options as open as possible. Until we have some serious interest or a sense that the development pressure is increasing, I wouldn't get the site prepared (i.e., bringing infrastructure into the parcel) - again, I want to keep as much flexibility as possible. Hope this helps. I will be out of the office the afternoon of June 8 with no access to email or voicemail. Thanks a lot!
