Special Council Minutes 5/9/OS Page 8 an adjacent block of land in between the two; we re-drew the boundary lines-a lot split/consolidation-shown in dark blue or purple-(I am colorblind) but that all is Village- owned land acreage. And off of the one property and the Golf Course property, this is what Progressive has envisioned to do. Now the actual boundary line has shifted because the roadway footprint is a little bit different-but conceptually, this shows the basic split between the Office- Laboratory focus here and then the public land focus here for Recreation-go back to passive recreational-kind of in bookends fashion to the north and to the south, things have changed over time. SLIDE: Land Redistribution Improves Use We tried to layer in how we would go through the 5 years of parallel development in the area. Again, commercial here for the Progressive site, commercial here for the Goldberg site. Just for point of reference, this long rectangle shows the Midvale Properties (a paper street that never got developed; platted back in the 1920's. Roughly the mid-point reflects since then the Village purchased the easterly portion; on the west we now have Governor's Village Assisted Living Facility; A1terCare skilled nursing; there is actually some wetland area that is preserved here in conjunction with that development; the Village purchased the 7-acre property over here at the intersection of White Road and I-271. We have since purchased land that brackets Mt. Sinai Cemetery; the Lazzaro single- family residence; then all of this entire area which was part of our transaction in 1998 with our Development Agreement with Progressive. Since that time we have purchased the Zako property. Generally speaking, the 2 paths that we have followed, Progressive and the Village, Progressive has maximized its development on its property and frankly the Village has not only maximized what it initially drew up in our Development Agreement but we have expanded two contiguous parkland areas. And the pattern of future development has followed this course. What we are looking at tonight really is the logical extension of the plan that we conceived in 1997 and began implementing soon thereafter up to this very day. SLIDE: Focus on Recreation and Traffic Management Mayor Rinker said again we were showing some of the main components between Recreation. The interior Boulevard to help regulate some of the traffic flows. This was in 1997. Less than a year later we received the TRAC funding from the State of Ohio to go ahead with widening of S.O.M. So, since 1998, we began the S.O.M. project and it is still ticking-but we are close to completion. SLIDE: S-Year Development Time Anticipated (Categories erztitled: Community Development and Business Development) Mayor Rinker said and again, this is to show kind of the parallel courses. We thought that this was a way to demonstrate pretty clearly, again, notice the 5-year plan. SLIDE: Phase 1 in 1998 Will Focus on Infrastructure Mayor Rinker said we were looking at, from our standpoint, major infrastructure installation which is still underway but it was very much necessary for the development of this Northwest Quadrant. Mayor Rinker said here is S.O.M. Center Widening. We thought we were going to be done [with S.O.M. Center Widening] by 2000--best laid plans--and we would complete our outdoor recreation facilities. We were looking at indoor Recreation. Our goals were really infrastructure, reereation, green space. And over here (Business Development Category), we were projecting-Progressive we
