☐ Resolution
☐ Discussion

The City acquired the 223 N Main property as part of a settlement agreement
relating to the nuisance conditions of the structure. This redevelopment
agreement will require MADC to abate the nuisance conditions within a given
timeframe. This will be replacement of windows by June 1, 2020 and
tuckpointing by August 1, 2020.
Although these timelines are expected to be met well in advance, MADC will
have to ensure that their projects go through the appropriate historic review
channels and get necessary approvals. In addition, parts of the work are not
suitable to be completed over the winter.
The City would transfer the property to MADC as soon as possible and MADC can
then begin their work. MADC will be paid $150,000 to abate all nuisance
conditions and pursue redevelopment opportunities.
