November 1, 2010 Page 3
Aric Schroeder, City Planner, Anacapa Associates, LLC is the business name of
Otto and Kim MacLin who owned some rental properties including 149 Greenwood
that we have already acquired through the flood buyout program, and then 151
Greenwood.
Mayor Clark, why don't you give us a brief run down as we are about to start
removing some properties down there.
Mr. Schroeder, the buyout is moving along fairly well. We're probably about
three quarters of the way through with acquisitions. Tomorrow should be the
first demolition that will occur at 188 Greenwood. Hopefully fairly shortly
after that, probably yet this week, we'll see the first couple of homes in the
San Souci area that will get demolished. Last week we opened bids for an
asbestos testing contract. Once we get that awarded and under contract, get the
asbestos testing and asbestos abatement done, then we'll be able to move on to
the next contract. Then demolition the majority of the rest of the homes, so
it's going along quite well.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2010-979.

November 1, 2010 Page 4
Councilperson Schmitt, is that construction company or is that proposed
amendment there are they going to take that entire lot?
Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director, no they are not. They
are taking the portion closest to 18th Street, 1.13 acres approximately. That
entire site there is also some portion of 17th Street that we believe we could
vacate. That's probably about half of the land we have out there or a little
more than half. So we're going to have some more development opportunities in
that area.
Councilperson Schmitt, I had a conversation this weekend. I think again it kind
of ties back to the Farmers Savings Bank there at 6th and Jefferson Streets.
Have we had signs on this lot or this land is available for development and to
call the City of Waterloo type of thing? Have we promoted? Because it seems
like that's a fairly prime location given all the activity that's going on in
that neighborhood.
Mr. Anderson, I don't believe we've had signs up. We have in the past sent out
a couple of mailings to developers in the area trying to get proposals at that
site and we were unsuccessful previously in getting any of those approved.
Councilperson Greenwood, did that site have some contamination on it? Has that
then been remediated?
Mr. Anderson, yes it was. As part of the 18th Street project you may recall we
needed a portion of that because we were keeping the other existing bridge in
place when we were building the new one. So we had to acquire a gas
station/convenience store. We did have to acquire the front part, which is
where their tank or islands were. As a part of that they asked for a total
acquisition so the city did acquire the entire site. We demolished the former
building. We also removed all the tanks and have a sign off by the DNR that
everything has been removed properly.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2010-985.

Councilperson Getty, is all of this whole area that Pat's Auto Salvage is going
to acquire now, is this all going to be fenced?
Mayor Clark, yes per the requirements.
Councilperson Getty, so there won't be any, the only road that will be available
is the one in front of his place will be the only that will be left over.
Mayor Clark, that is correct.
Councilperson Getty, and that equipment will get off of city right-of-way?
Mayor Clark, that's the way the proposal reads, yes, the development agreement.
