of what financial arrangements might be proposed including the City. Also,
the land is to remain in the hands of Apex Realty, the current property owner/lease
arrangements to continue.

planner presents a plan for the entire area is premature. She felt it might
be appropriate fdr the Authority to compose a statement to the effect that
any development proposed for the area would have to be coordinated with the
urban design plan.

the proposal be referred to the City's urban planning consultant for initial
reaction and that dialogue be maintained between City staff and SPS Properties
as far as the progress of the proposed project goes.
