Special Council Meeting 3-9-98 Page 6 ? aren't even discussing it. 1VIr.1VTarquardt tbinks 5 miles is too open. He is not clear as to how we intended the issue of the Wetlands mitigation. He does not see any nitpicking except on Progressive's side. Mayor Rinker said he saw the 5 mile radius as a change. He thinks the date is something that was not welI addressed. He chalks that up to language that was in there. He thinks, regarding the wetlands, that they are womied about getting hit with hidden costs and he wants to be sure there is nothing else that will be renegotiated later on. Discussion was held about the road. Mayor Rinker said it is understood that we do not want to go to the Corps of Engineers now with any mitigation or wetland delineation plan. Once you get on their page, it is etched in stone and we want to keep that flexibility open. He thinks the language can be balanced as to when the road is supposed to be done. He thinks we should be able to work around the swimming issue. He does not like hearing that this somehow becomes a deal-breaker. We must be sensitive how we respond. The whole idea is to get the project going. Mayor Rinker asked Council to refine the language in 1) and 2) and say tYris is what we propose and that should be a meeting of the minds. The harder questian is wha.t, if anything, are we going to do about the pool operation. Mrs. Cinco said she would like to see Mr. Chokel's response to our negotiations tonight in writing. She has nothing in writing that they called it a deal-breaker. Ske would like #o teli them we will work out 1) and 2) but 3) as in the original contract and put it in their contract. Council President Fixler saidthey are putting a million dollars into the facility and have employees on the next street over who can't use it--which is a problem for Mr. Chokel. Mayor Rinker said if worse came to worse, he could probably shift the swimmers around. Council President Fixler said two out of the three are inconsequential. We will come up with a road. " Mr. Buckholtz said he does not understand if we are building a road and must do some wetland mitigation to do so, isn't that part of building the road? Nlayor Rinker said they assumed that for us to put the road where we want to put it will involve substantial wetland area. From what he can see, the road only has to deal with one or two sections. When we talked about a letter of intent of swapping properties, we discussed there would be a road and that as part of this, land swap, that the road that would go to the south border of the Friedman property would be sriared 50-50 between Mayfield Village and Progressive. As typically happens as you move along, he thinks they started revisiting what they had agreed to on the Friedman property. They have no frontage on that road south of the Parkview property line.
