Of the 4 options, Mr. <br /> Kostic indicated that a second floor with or without a basement was <br /> being pursued, and that the architects indicated that the goal of <br /> the design will be to provide a new building that responds to the <br /> scale and material of the rest of the town as well as one which <br /> meets the parameters of building cost and marketing plans. <br /> A number of items were discussed and recommendations made: <br /> 1. Retail is desired for first floor. Mr. Kostic agrees- that <br /> this is desirable. <br /> 2. Mr. Kostic requested comments on tenant mix. At present, <br /> three former tenants are discussing moving back into the <br /> building: Walden Books, Driscoll' s Card Shop, and <br /> Belcanto. Northwest Insurance is also discussing a second <br /> floor space. <br /> 3 . A recommendation was made by the Committee to provide <br /> flexibility of use to allow tenant change over the life of <br /> the building. <br /> 4. Concern was shown for the remaining property that <br /> previously had been occupied by Baskin Robbins. Mr. <br /> Kostick indicated he has been in contact with the Owner <br /> and that he and AHM will attempt to have them participate <br /> in the whole project if they are interested. <br />
