There are 46 items on the regular agenda. The meeting will
begin at 8 P.M. and will be televised on Hartford Public Access, Channel 21.
Batterson Park Task
Force Report – The Council will receive the report of the Batterson Park
Task Force. The task force was created
in January of 1999 to make recommendations for the uses and/or possible
disposition of Batterson Park. The
whole report is on file at the Town Clerk’s office. Batterson Park is located in Farmington. (Item #21)
Approval of
Sheldon/Charter Oak Strategic Plan – The Council will vote on an ordinance
which would approve the Neighborhood Revitalization Zone (NRZ) Strategic Plan
for the Sheldon/Charter Oak neighborhood. According to the accompanying letter, the plan has been discussed by the
Commission on the City Plan and by the Planning, Economic Development and
Zoning Committee. Both are recommending
passage. (Item #27)
Bolton and Eaton
Streets Redirection – In a previous meeting the Council referred to the
City Manager a resolution which would make Bolton Street and Eaton Street
one-way streets. The City Manager is reporting back that a majority of Eaton
Street residents have requested the change, but Bolton Street residents did not
request the change. In addition, she is
advising the Council that three of the four businesses at either end of Eaton
Street have opposed the change. The
City Manager is recommending that Eaton Street be made one-way, but that no
action be taken on Bolton Street until over 50% of its residents request a
change. (Item #20)
Tax Assessment
Agreement for Downtown Development -- The Council will be voting on a resolution
which would authorize the City Manager to enter into a tax assessment fixing
agreement with the Morgan Reed Group for the development of the property at 398
Asylum Street. (Formerly the Bond
Hotel.) If passed, the City Manager
would execute an agreement with the Morgan Reed Group for a seven-year
assessment fixing agreement and the Morgan Reed Group would convert the site to
apartments. (Item #6)
