Discussion:
Jeffrey B. Ray from JEO provided a presentation on the East Crete Blight Study. Planning Commission member Anthony Fitzgerald stated that Gary F. Lothrop wrote a letter to Mayor Bauer, Tom Ourada, City Council members and Planning Commission members to explain that he is against having his 20 Acre grounds and home given a "Blightted" designation. However, if his 20 acres are needed to get the blighted area up past the 80 acre level so that others may take advantage of TIF financing, then he will not fight the designation. The complete letter is attached.
