REGULAR MEETING JULY 27, 2009 corridor. The second property, located in the Coveleski Park Housing Block, is Fred’s Transmission, located at 501 W. Western Avenue. It is anticipated that Fred’s will close this location, and this acquisition would allow for controlled development of this site. The rest of this block, with two exceptions (a communications building and a single family house), has been cleared and is ready for development. Plans for this block are for housing to the north end of the block and commercial development along Western Avenue. The third area is the Coveleski Park North Development Block, and encompasses the remaining three properties. These properties are the remaining Gates parcels, the former Schilling’s Camera Store, and Nor Systems Computer Store. The acquisition of the properties in this Development Block, which is 5.8 acres, allows for the controlled development of this block, and the potential for a large format user.
