He commented that he is happy to have the discussion to flush this out but he will not sale it if this does not ultimately benefit the community and enhance the lifestyle of Wellington. Councilwoman Siskind asked whether language can be placed in the sale agreement to hold the applicant to the conceptual plan.

If they were amenable, the Village may be able to include some conceptual thing that may be incorporated. Councilman Drahos commented that the Village owns the land and should be able to dictate the terms. Councilman McGovern commented that in order to get it done there would be requirements. There were comments and discussion about the approval process and the state of the mall. Page 18Village of Wellington
