INTRODUCTION
O
Staff continues to work with a light manufacturing company on their interest in
purchasing land in Andover Station North. The property is located on Jay
Street NW just west of Hanson Boulevard NW. The company had narrowed
their site search down to two locations, the 3.5 -4 acres of land in Andover
Station North or to purchase an existing building in a neighboring community.
Staff recently provided the company with Andover's sign regulations as they
are ordering new signs for their existing building to reflect the recent name
change of the company due to their acquisition and merger. They wanted to
make sure the new signs would meet City requirements which staff views as a
positive "sign" Andover may be there top choice.
In addition, staff understands that there is a potential purchase of the Moose and
Company lot at 13797 Jay Street NW. The purchaser recently was approved for
a franchise restaurant site. Public disclosure of the restaurant may likely occur
by the end of May /early June.
