They ask:<BR/><BR/>"<I>Do you support the recall of Overland Mayor Ann Purzner?</I>" and give the option to answer either Yes or No.<BR/><BR/>You can find their poll on their website (<I>middle column, a third of the way or so from the top</I>) <A HREF="http://overland-stannjournal.stltoday.com/" REL="nofollow">here</A>.Overland Sailorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12801651499053477245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-4369601935623254672007-03-25T19:22:00.000-05:002007-03-25T19:22:00.000-05:00<B>OJ</B><BR/><BR/>I thought the Beechnut Property was 8610 as well. Perhaps this was a typo in the Agenda? Either it is a typo or there is a third Tax Abatement to be considered that I was not Aware of.<BR/><BR/>However, I am fairly certain that the Summit Developers were the ones bringing us the Office Park deal that included the Beechnut headquarters.Overland Sailorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12801651499053477245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-10988690082567266522007-03-25T17:26:00.000-05:002007-03-25T17:26:00.000-05:008601 Page is Kienstra on the northwest corner of Page and Walton. I thought that the Beechnut property is on the southwest corner at 8610 Page (including 1665, 1631, and 1645 Walton - see 11/27/2006 council minutes).O.J.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16820726420644613063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-30883491290364442982007-03-25T11:55:00.000-05:002007-03-25T11:55:00.000-05:00The <A HREF="http://overlandmo.org/agendas/2007/20070326.pdf" REL="nofollow">Agenda</A> posted on the city website for the March 26th, 2007 Council meetings makes no reference to the Cozad project at 8801 page.<BR/><BR/>However, it does show a Public Hearing on the Summit project at 8601 Page (which was advertised some time ago as well).<BR/><BR/>It will be interesting to see what if any differences there are between the levels of information provided.<BR/><BR/><B>O.J.</B> though there are existing building at 8601 I am not sure if they will remain or if this project plans to build new there.

Assuming what I have heard about their plan is true, I would have no issue with giving them an abatement.<BR/><BR/>We'll see what their plan looks like at the March 26th Council Meeting.<BR/><BR/><BR/>As for Cozad, I will see what I can come up with on that after the next Council Meeting (I believe Cozad is on the agenda as well so a lot of our questions and concerns might be answered there).Overland Sailorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12801651499053477245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-19764148117507147872007-03-25T07:12:00.000-05:002007-03-25T07:12:00.000-05:00Overland,<BR/><BR/>Sorry, what Cozad has done elsewhere & if their proposals were as vague as this one.twolayerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07331670066896976728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-32038024162534318082007-03-24T20:54:00.000-05:002007-03-24T20:54:00.000-05:00Beechnut has existing buildings on the property.

As for Development plans in general I have not been able to find a development plan with a similar lack of detail.<BR/><BR/>At the meeting on March 26th there is supposed to be a public hearing for the Development Plan involving Beechnut. From what I hear, they have an extremely higher level of detail in their plan for the Council to consider.<BR/><BR/>We'll see if that is correct or not on the 26th.Overland Sailorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12801651499053477245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-23626551746016144302007-03-24T20:23:00.000-05:002007-03-24T20:23:00.000-05:00Is there anyway of getting or finding out from another community or Cozad what they may have asked for when doing business?<BR/><BR/>If they can be compared at all.
