Minutes of the Regulaz Meeting of Council <br />Monda.y, June 18, 2012 <br />Page 11 <br />Mr. Marrelli sta.ted, our parking code doesn't allow commercial trucks to be parked out in front <br />of buildings. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, and speaking of parking, what kind of parking does he have <br />there? <br />Mr. Marrelli replied, maybe 10 spaces. He shouldn't need any. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked if there were any other questions or comments. <br />Mr. Marquardt stated, I have one more. If we are considering attracting business, one of the <br />objectives was to offset the 800 pound gorilla called Progressive. Number one, this business will <br />never make a dent in any of that. It's more trouble than it's worth. They probably won't pay any <br />taxes because the two people that xnight work there probably pay from some other location. We <br />ought to keep that in mind when we are considering businesses coming in. Is it really worth it? <br />We have spent a half hour tallcing about this thing. In my opinion, this business isn't worth <br />having in the Village. <br />Mr. Delguyd but it maybe went to the landlord. <br />Mr. Mazquardt replied, the landlord doesn't have a whole lot of respect for our procedures either. <br />That doesn't have much sway with me. If they have avoided the occupancy permit many times, <br />this being one of them, then don't ask me to do any favors on that. Let's remember there were <br />safety violations that were avoided by not going through the occupancy permit. <br />Mr. Esborn stated, economic development is significant. I look at three things, increased <br />revenue, filling a vacancy and even this is less direct but maintaining relationships with <br />commercial landlords. We are not increasing revenue that much because there's not that many <br />employees and because they are relocated from another spot in the Village. We are not for the <br />same reason filling a vacancy because they are shifting a vacancy. Based on the Planning and <br />Zoning meeting we had, we put the finger pointing that we mentioned earlier, I am not really <br />sure that we are harming our relationship with the landlord. <br />Mr. Marquardt stated, I don't think the landlord is working on any relationship with the Village <br />if he is avoiding our occupancy permit process and avoiding safety violations. It works both <br />ways. I don't have a lot of sympathy for that relationship stuff if it doesn't go both ways. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, what are they trading in terms of square footage? You know <br />how we keep an eye from the economic development side of things on Beta and what is vacant <br />and available. In other words, is it blocking another business from coming in? Is there some <br />prime real estate? <br />Mr. Esborn replied, I don't know the square footage numbers off the top of my head. <br />Mr. Marrelli replied, 6,000 square feet. There are two tenants and they are sharing spaee.
