Commissioner Kurle questioned why all of the houses on the east side of Cambrian Avenue are included in the extension and asked if there are future plans for those homes. Mr. Zweber responded that the CDA is only purchasing the first four homes on the north end of Cambrian Avenue and there are no other plans for the remaining homes. He stated it was the simplest way to describe the modification was to go down the whole street, but in addition, any public improvements to the area such as sidewalks or sewer improvements paid for with TIF funds would probably include those homes. Commissioner Weber asked about the reference to the two office buildings on the site in the approval of the right turn lane. Mr. Zweber stated that the right turn lane was approved when Kraus Anderson proposed to build two office buildings on the site. He stated that the development on the site has changed but the right turn access is the same. Commissioner Weber then asked if there was an order of priority in the list of proposed projects in the staff report. City Administrator Johnson responded that the main priority is the acquisition of the fourth house on Cambrian Avenue and then the only remaining priority would be to complete the other projects by July, 2014. Chairperson Powell asked if the proposed projects in the staff report are a part of the recommended action. Mr. Zweber stated that the projects are just illustrations and are not part of the actual modification or recommended action. Chairperson Powell stated his only concern with the project list is the railroad crossing in keeping with the July, 2014 deadline.
