Session 1833 <br />March 4, 2002 <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer moved approval. Mr. Sharpe seconded the motion, which carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />AGENDA #3 - DEVELOPMENT PROJECT NOTICE - 849 WESTGATE: <br /> <br />The University City Redevelopment Authority hereby advises the City Council that they <br />have received and accepted a proposal to sell property at the southwest corner of <br />Westgate and Vernon for the purpose of constructing a twenty-four unit residential <br />apartment building. The offer to purchase is by ECO Housing Corporation for the sum <br />of $125,000. While we have learned not to celebrate construction projects until they <br />have been completed, it's not too early to express our appreciation to the <br />redevelopment authority members and to our development staff for facilitating this <br />project. I recommend that Council officially accept this notice and concur with the sale. <br />City Council will have an opportunity to review the site plan in about three months. <br /> <br />Responding to Mr. Schoomer, Mr. Ollendorff stated that this sale would not require any <br />public contribution. Mr. Ollendorff further commented that this sale is not conditioned on <br />any aid from the City or any other public entity. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer moved acceptance of the sale. Mr. Munkel seconded the motion, which <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />MISCELLANEOUS STATUS OF OTHER DEVELOPMENTS: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff wished to apprize Council of the status on various other developments <br />that Council has asked him about. <br /> <br />Jacob Medve's apartment project at Delmar and Delcrest: Action was taken by the <br />LCRA last week to renew our contract pledging assistance for the project, in exchange <br />for Mr. Medve taking every possible action towards start up of construction again by <br />May. <br /> <br />Urban Outfitters at the old Smith Hardware property: Mr. Ollendorff had transmitted a <br />letter to Council over the weekend from the developer indicating that they expect to be <br />under construction within the next month. That letter did not say that the tenant was <br />Urban Outfitters. <br /> <br />Report to the State regarding Racial Profiling: Mr. Ollendorff stated that this report was <br />submitted on time last year and again on time this year. The summary has been <br />distributed to the City Council. <br /> <br />Responding to Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Ollendorff read an excerpt of the Urban Outfitter <br />developer's letter: This letter is to advise our intent to commence demolition and <br />construction of a new building in the next 30 days. The letter was dated February 22. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
