<br />Mr. Demaris stated that this alignment of the frontage road is because they want the intersection <br />further away because of elevation issues and also it makes sense for the Holiday Station. He <br />stated that it also makes sense to extend the frontage road over towards Armstrong Boulevard, <br />but that detail will be worked out later. <br /> <br />Ms. McCorkle stated that in discussions with the County Parks Department, they didn't mind the <br />road alignment because it would allow them to do some buffering and landscaping in the <br />parkland to provide more of a blockage from the highway. <br /> <br />Mr. Demaris stated that the A5 option has beenposted on the City's website and postcards were <br />sent out to anyone who signed in or submitted a letter to the City regarding the designs, letting <br />them know about tonight's Council meeting discussion. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he thinks a point should be made to tell people that this road project is <br />not going to happen right away. <br /> <br />2) Old Town Hall <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson stated that past Council's have had discussions on what to <br />do with Old Town Hall many times in the past 10 years. She stated that in researching this issue, <br />she found that in August of2005, a resolution was passed by the Council, directing staff to move <br />forward on getting ready to move the building to the R TC area. She stated that there has been no <br />action taken and the resolution appears to still be valid. She stated that the other scenarios <br />discussed in the past, were; complete the restoration of the building at its current location and use <br />it for community meeting space or a historical center, or; complete the restoration and lease the <br />space to a private entity to operate a business and noted that at one time, Landmark Bank had <br />indicated an interest in this scenario, or; move the building from its current location to a new <br />location in a City park, then the building could be used for community meeting space and/or a <br />historical center. She stated that the last option of moving the site, would remove the "historical <br />site" designation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen asked why there wasn't an option of demolition. He asked if this was the <br />only historical building in the City. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson stated that a demolition option had not been discussed and <br />noted that it is the only historical building in the City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen stated that perhaps the building could be demolished and the bricks used <br />for planters in RTC. He stated that he is not opposed to saving old buildings, but this is a small <br />building that is probably infested by vermin and he feels it would take a lot of work to make it <br />useable. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he would like to see if Landmark Bank is still interested in using the <br />space for offices. He stated that he is not sure the building fits with the RTC plans, but <br />understands the sentimentality connected with the building because some residents attended <br />school there. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session I April 22, 2008 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
