Number of pages attached: 1 Date(s)of review for release: June 2002 Date of approval for release: T �� 6�� 11/13/01 6:21 p.m. Land Ar cuisition The Mayor provided a presentation on a plan to bring a tenant to the vacant Eagle Foods building on Meacham Road. The Mayor reported the 56,000 sq. ft. building has remained vacant for 19 months to date and is not TIF eligible. Home Depot has agreed to a tentative plan to redevelop and occupy the site. The building would be expanded to 95,000 sq. ft.,plus an 18,000 sq. ft. garden center. Home Depot will negotiate the relocation of the existing shoe store and book store to accomplish this. Furthermore the relocation of detention basins behind the building would need to be completed to make space for the expansion. To finance the significant construction costs, a preliminary property development reinvestment program was devised. This would be an 8-year program to reinvest Home Depot generated sales taxes into the site on a graduated schedule approximating$200,000 per year. Years 6 through 8 would be tied to sales performance, and the Village would offer no funds if sales do not exceed$30 million during a given year. The Mayor noted the plan has been approved by the local Home Depot office, but is awaiting authorization from their Atlanta headquarters. The consensus of the Village Board was to authorize the Village Attorney to proceed with the plan as proposed. The meeting ended at 6:54 p.m.
