Michigan St., which has been included in the Part E Application, Central Downtown Project, R-66, on the proposed acquisition list. A major reason that the subject property was included for acquisition was to add to the flexibi- lity for fut4re development of a large department store site. en IpA.5� c lvoo 0 -3- 9r A/07"04 M7dg:, / —/ 7— 7a2' Further studies have determined adequate space can be made avail- able without the acquisition of subject property. It is the objective of the Urban Renewal Plan to retain good buildings where it is feasibly possible; therefore a motion was made by Mr. Kompar, secoaded by Mr. Helmen, that since Mr. Clark is willing to rehabilitate and redesign the structures as needed, along with the removal 3f any substandard structures,,the staff can assure Mr. Clark by letter that the structures may remain subject to Sec- tion D Item I of the Urban Renewal Plan which states, "Property designated f acquisition, if not needed for a public use, will be removed from that category if the owner(s) present within a reasonable time, a specific plan or program of action to the City of South Ben J Department of Redevelopment. The plan or program as presented must show conclusively that the construction, demo- lition, recoistruction or rehabilitation proposed is in confor- mance with t objectives of this Urban Renewal Plan and such State and local la s as may be applicable."
