Communication from Planning & Development Director Sylvester regarding Northcoast Brownfield Coalition Community Assessment Initiative. (Pg. 48) Motion by Mr. O'Leary, seconded by Mr. Anderson to receive and file the communication. Discussion: Director Sylvester remarked that the City applied for a similar grant for the McKinley School site and received it. Permission by the site owner is required to receive the grant and the site owner here is willing. Mr. O'Malley asked if grants were used to fund environmental testing at the Marathon gas station at Lake Ave. Director Sylvester replied that this may have been discussed but did not go forward. It was stated that Mack Products manufactured safety glasses. Director Sylvester clarified that the parcel is not vacant but that the buildings on the parcel have been vacant for a long time. He remarked that the biggest obstacle to redevelopment at the parcel is that the environmental conditions are unknown. Resolving this question would help to attract a developer.
