Hedy Robinson then reviewed the report from the Department of Economic Development dated July 26, 1990 (copy attached). She noted that the property in question does qualify for a ten (10) year real property tax abatement. Council Member Luecke questioned whether the area was greater that 15,000 feet and was advised that it was over 50,000; therefore meeting the square footage requirements. Ann Kolata stated that the business should be operable by December of 1990. Council Member Niezgodski gave supporting comments with regard to the development. Ann Kolata noted that many of the delays were architecturally related. She noted that plans called for a total renovation of the first floor, the night club entrance to be off the alley, and that their would be no teenage club planned currently but perhaps periodic one evening per month. There will also be a family arcade located in the basement. The front facade will be made of limestone with arched glass windows. A question was raised with regard to the number of full-time jobs on page one (1) of the petition. Mrs. Kolata stated that she would verify that at this evening's meeting.
