11 <br /> 276 <br /> 277 Brian Collie-This is located in an unprotected watershed and there aren't impervious maximums in that watershed. <br /> 278 <br /> 279 Delores Bailey- If the red building is not moved by someone, can it be repurposed with any of the parts salvaged as <br /> 280 opposed to just throwing them away? <br /> 281 <br /> 282 Bob Hornik-Not by us and it looks like it's in pretty rough shape on the outside for sure.There are planks falling off and it <br /> 283 is in rough shape. <br /> 284 <br /> 285 Charity Kirk-There is something in the packet about it being a historic building that has been remodeled many times. <br /> 286 <br /> 287 Delores Bailey-The one with the red top? <br /> 288 <br /> 289 Charity Kirk-The one that's on the property. It's been remodeled so many times that it's lost its character, but it could still <br /> 290 potentially be refurbished. <br /> 291 <br /> 292 Bob Hornik- It has historic origins but has been changed over time. <br /> 293 <br /> 294 Statler-Are there photographs of that building available tonight to see? <br /> 295 <br /> 296 Bob Hornik-No, not that I have. <br /> 297 <br /> 298 Adam Beeman- If you pull Google Maps up,you can probably see a street view. It's a pretty nondescript building. <br /> 299 <br /> 300 Statler- I turned my phone off, so I can't see. <br /> 301 <br /> 302 Delores Bailey- I think the last time we talked about this area maybe being a food desert. Is there any nutritional value <br /> 303 coming through this store? <br /> 304 <br /> 305 Bob Hornik-Just like in other Dollar General stores, there will be food stuffs sold there. <br /> 306 <br /> 307 Statler-When a large chain store like a Wal Mart comes into a community, often it makes a major impact and puts many <br /> 308 businesses out of business. Competition is good, price is important,we all know that.This is a discussion about a <br /> 309 national company who wants to come into a small community where there are a series of small stores and the possibility <br /> 310 that the Mexican market that now sells milk, may not be competitive long-term.The question is, has an impact study <br /> 311 been done on what this could mean for the community? <br /> 312 <br /> 313 Bob Hornik- I don't have the answer to that question. I do know that Dollar General has done a study and found that <br /> 314 there is a market for them in this location. <br /> 315 <br /> 316 Statler- Even with the other Dollar General stores you have that are close in the area? <br /> 317 <br /> 318 Bob Hornik-Yes, sir. <br /> 319 <br /> 320 Vernon Davis, property owner-A little history of the building. It was built in 1929 as a branch of the Junior Order of <br /> 321 America.They used the bottom as a grocery store and the top floor as a meeting hall. I purchased the property in 1974. <br /> 322 Prior to that,the state had acquired the right of way on Highway 54 and moved the building back.The property was <br /> 323 moved over an existing road drain and also set it down directly on the ground. The building has served several purposes. <br /> 324 It has restricted parking due to the existing property lines and right of way that comes within 6 feet of the building. There <br /> 325 is no room there for parking with the existing building.There has been some interest in salvaging the building. I'm not <br /> 326 going to trash the building. My daughter wants to move the front part, if we get permission to move it, and whoever wants <br /> 327 the tall part is welcome to it. There are windows,flooring, siding, and all that will be repurposed. I live just a mile down <br /> 328 the road on a 5-generation farm. I'm 80 years old and I just want to get rid of this property so I can spend my last years <br /> 329 on the farm.Anybody that has an interest in that is welcome to it. I am a building contractor and I have built 2 other <br /> 330 businesses, one being a market and one being a service station. They did very well. I am a long-time resident of the <br />
