Mayor Craddock introduced a presentation by Tristar Development Company and Don Day Development Company for a plan on Chestnut and direction to Staff to proceed with implementation. Don Day and Dan Sanders re- viewed with Council their plans for development of a multi-family pro- ject on Chestnut. They wanted the City to abandon some property and in exchange would be willing to give an easement for the widening of Chestnut and money for the development of a sidewalk along Chest- nut Street.
