III.       PUBLIC FORUM – NON-AGENDIZED TOWN RELATED MATTERS

Mr. Paul Dahms, owner of the new Night-At-The-Movies Video Store in Gateway Dev. requested the town board to look into the non-progress of the Gateway Development stating he was told by Gateway real estate agent, Jim Fletcher, that various businesses would be building and opening soon.  Mr. Dahms also stated the “coming soon” sign should be taken down after being there for three years with little or no progress.  He stated Mr. Fletcher told him of the many businesses including a grocery store were imminent however, he has not seen this as he felt Gateway was now focusing on the strip located on the east side of CB instead of focusing on the large development itself.  Mr. Dahms told the town board members he counted on this information and now feels he is “going under” with less business than what he anticipated.  The board members stated they would again call a meeting with the Gateway developers to obtain further timetable information.  

 

Resident Barb Heeter thanked the three board members for voting against the MEE multi-family project.

 

Resident Bill Schipferling mentioned the culvert was plugged up on the south end of Pomer Way.  Street Supt. Randy Gallow will look into this.
