Approved 4 - 5 - 23 276 277 Brian Collie - This is located in an unprotected watershed and there aren ' t impervious maximums in that watershed . 278 279 Delores Bailey- If the red building is not moved by someone , can it be repurposed with any of the parts salvaged as 280 opposed to just throwing them away? 281 282 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 283 is in rough shape . 284 285 Charity Kirk. There is something in the packet about it being a historic building that has been remodeled many times . 286 287 Delores Bailey- The one with the red top? 288 289 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 290 potentially be refurbished . 291 292 Bob Hornik- It has historic origins but has been changed over time . 293 294 Statler- Are there photographs of that building available tonight to see ? 295 296 Bob Hornik- No , not that I have . 297 298 Adam Beeman . If you pull Google Maps up , you can probably see a street view . It' s a pretty nondescript building . 299 300 Statler- I turned my phone off, so I can ' t see . 301 302 Delores Bailey. I think the last time we talked about this area maybe being a food desert . Is there any nutritional value 303 coming through this store ? 304 305 Bob Hornik- Just like in other Dollar General stores , there will be food stuffs sold there . 306 307 Statler- When a large chain store like a Wal Mart comes into a community, often it makes a major impact and puts many 308 businesses out of business . Competition is good , price is important , we all know that . This is a discussion about a 309 national company who wants to come into4a small community where there are a series of small stores and the possibility 310 that the Mexican market that now sells milk , may not be competitive long -term . The question is , has an impact study 311 been done on what this could mean for the community? 312 313 Bob Hornik- I don ' t have the answer to that question . I do know that Dollar General has done a study and found that 314 there is a market for them in this location . 315 316 Statler- Even with the other Dollar General stores you have that are close in the area? 317 318 Bob Hornik- Yes , sir . 319 320 Vernon Davis , property owner- A little history of the building . It was built in 1929 as a branch of the Junior Order of 321 America . They used the bottom as a grocery store and the top floor as a meeting hall . I purchased the property in 1974 . 322 Prior to that , the state had acquired the right of way on Highway 54 and moved the building back . The property was 323 moved over an existing road drain and also set it down directly on the ground . The building has served several purposes . 324 It has restricted parking due to the existing property lines and right of way that comes within 6 feet of the building . There 325 is no room there for parking with the existing building . There has been some interest in salvaging the building . I ' m not 326 going to trash the building . My daughter wants to move the front part, if we get permission to move it, and whoever wants 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 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 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 330 businesses , one being a market and one being a service station . They did very well . I am a long -time resident of the
