I Councilman Wright asserted the major purpose of having Mr. Sal�terman`s best and major plan on file is to give the City Council somethin�; lo � refer to. Tt we.s explained by the City Mana�;er this could be quali£ied i by saying this ie a proposal for thzs sate, Mr. Saliterman inquired � what would happen if the center develops 1,o i.he point they had dzscussed but no further� that ti�ey think it will do well but suppose it doe�n't; I they�would have to take this land and put i1. to some ��hher purpose. Mayor � Nee repl3ed they could not make him build wliat he had sa�d he uould bin1�3, ; Mr. Saliterman explained, that off hand, they were think�ng of a ma11 'I or a good Shopping Center, someth3.ng lilce Apache, an enclosed shopping mall with 1j0�000 feet o£ building� or tPiey m��ht go io aff�ce buildin�;s� i� ( medical centexs or buildings of that type.

Councilman Sheridan inquired when the plans wou.ld be com�leted, that they had to have a complete aet before the biaiJ_ding permit could be issued� thr�t it could ba issued for footin,,s and foundation if the si;ructure was approved. The City Manager explained this u�s an example such as the house he had shoWed the City Cotzricil� if tliey put the footings in it would be at their own r3ak and 1f the Council wanted to allow them to go aheaH at their own risk� they would be glad to lnspect it.

Mr. �'aliter�man replied he had gone thraugh Brookdale and they didn't haxe an,y and could not see why they would have to ha*re that� that it was not i.he cxpense oF building same but the nuisance and vand�,liam would be a lar�;c far.tor� siz�l this is a comparativeJy small center., Mr. C;nl�terman inquired ii' the name "Shorewood" was registered and sLated h� would lil:e to oallit the Shorewood Shopping Center.

The Ci1.yManager men�ioned 3�hat Mr. Carlson had taken out the alteration permit but he d9d n�ed the proposal for gradin� the lot, It was explained by the City 1�:rigineet when the easement is drawn it will be an extension of a road wi_i,h a small angle but it was agxeed aFter discussion they would not be changing the drawing. Mr. Salitez�nan stated they did need some help in getting their footin�s in and inquired zahen they'could start the:,e footings so they could coordinc�te their i�or]c, It wascexplained b,y t3�e C3ty Manager Mr. Saliterman wants atzthorization from {:he C3ty Council to authorize the Building Inspector to make inspectipn of i,he fooi.ings� etc. but he Would still be doin� the footin�s at his own rislc. D1r. ualiterma,n replied they would l�ke to have 1he BuildYng In�peci,or assi,st them, Councilman Sheridan explained i:o Mr. Salit,erman 1.}k�t be- eause they would give him such a motion to prpceed with the Footings� they were not approving the plans as such, Types of businesses for the area were discusaed such as delicatessens, etc. A'k�yor Nee inquzred if the buildings would be served from the rear and was told tliey ��nuld.

Saliterman's at�ention and L-hat was L-hat the slcetch� as pr�scnted, did not meet the parkin� requirements as they stood in ratio io tl�e• build3ng. C3ty Engineer Qureshi explained the developer should lay aut a plan ahowing the erea and it seems as though he most probably could give a 3 to 1 xatio. It was explained by the City Manager this would Ue Lliree parking �paces for each y�00 square feei; and the parking would h��ve Lo take out Px'om the �+acant area any drives or entrances. The quesi.ion was raised if it was permissible to use the area back o£ ihe center for parking and was answered not necessarily. Cauncilman Sheridasi znquared of Mr.,5al,iterman if people like Sears required a m3mimum of pttirkit�� and wae told they did. Mayor Nee assexi,ed �t was no�l, clear that anyone had an exeeea o� parking.
