<br />Community Redevelopment Agency <br />November 20. 2008 <br />Page 3 015 <br /> <br />Seventh Item of Business: Two Offers to Purchase CRA Properties (Target Out-Parcels) - Topper's Creamery and Mr. <br />Sam Panesar (Dry eleaning) <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise reviewed the offer to purchase from Topper's Creamery (a copy is on file in the Community <br /> <br />Development Department). Mr. Paradise said staff is recommending denial of the offer as it is not consistent with either the <br /> <br />intent or the plan and it does meet the guidelines for the architectural requirements in the CRD. After a brief discussion, <br /> <br />Daigle made a motion to follow staff's recommendation. Mr. McGregor seconded the motion. <br /> <br />motion passed <br /> <br />unanimously by voice vote. <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise reviewed the offer to purchase from Mr. Sam Panesar (a copy is on file in the Community Development <br /> <br />Department). Mr. Paradise said staff is recommending denial. He said that the offer is less than the CRA paid for the property <br /> <br />and the drive-thru activity is not consistent with the requirements of zoning. He explained a drive-thru activity as a secondary <br /> <br />use to a business is permitted as a conditional use; however, a drive-thru with no primary store is not allowed. He was <br /> <br />concerned that the site would not meet the architectural guidelines or the requirements of the Redevelopment Plan. <br /> <br />In response to the Board's question, Mr. Paradise said Mr. Rubin is still interested in the CRA owned property. Mr. <br /> <br />Daigle made a motion to follow staff's recommendation and decline the offer to purchase. Mr. McGregor seconded the <br /> <br />motion. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. <br /> <br />Mr. Jones suggested staff encourage the parties interested in the CRA owned property to consider the Taco Zone <br /> <br />site. Mr. Jones commended staff on the excellent work being done in Casselberry. <br /> <br />Eiqhth Item of Business: Approval of Invoices for Payment <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise reviewed the invoices for payment. Mr. Daigle made a motion to approve the Concepts in Greenery <br /> <br />invoices for a total of $9907. (October - $773., September - $1,392., August - $7,208., and July - $534.). Mr. McGregor <br /> <br />seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. <br /> <br />Mr. McGregor made a motion to approve CDM invoice no. 80297081713 for $2917. Mr. Daigle clarified that <br /> <br />payment was for invoice dated September 30, 2008 for Project No. 61938. Mr. Etze seconded the motion. The motion <br /> <br />passed unanimously by voice vote. <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise said that there were additional charges of $2,768.22 for the Kimley Horn contract which were not <br /> <br />authorized under the contract for the Transportation Concurrency Exception Area work. Mr. Paradise requested the CRA <br /> <br />authorize the full invoice amount of $12,768.22 minus this amount. Mr. McGregor made a motion to approve the Kimley Horn <br />
