Representative for TD Vickers says 'Coffee Shop' property under new ownership, asks for quick development
Summary
A TD Vickers representative told the Early City Council the locally known Coffee Shop Properties are under new ownership and asked for a rapid development agreement; council members asked that future legal correspondence go through the city attorney for review.
T. Picknell, speaking for TD Vickers Properties, told the council the property known locally as the "Coffee Shop Properties" is now under the TD Vickers ownership and that the company has changed lawyers. He requested the town work toward an agreement to develop the property "quickly with no setbacks" and asked that the city stop contacting the company's prior counsel and direct any concerns to him while he remains in the area through November.
Councilor Brian Pickhinke said he would involve the city attorney, Dave Jennett, in future correspondence so outstanding legal questions can be reviewed; the city attorney was not present for this meeting. No formal action was taken on development terms at the July 5 meeting; the matter remains a discussion item to be addressed through legal review and future council process.
Why it matters: A change in ownership and an explicit request for expedited development could speed local redevelopment if the council and city staff can resolve outstanding legal and permitting questions. The council indicated it will coordinate further correspondence with the city attorney and bring the issue back for formal action if required.
