ANDOVER STATION -RYAN/TARGET EXTENSION REQUEST Mr. Erar explained that Ryan/Target are requesting a 180 day extension on the option agreement to allow adequate time for purposes of conducting their due diligence on the site. This would allow them time to deal with any environmental issues which may arise. Staff feels the request is appropriate. Tom Palmquist, Ryan Companies, has said that this is a routine request from Target when dealing with this type of property. Commissioner Orttel asked if we are operating under an extension now. Mr. Erar stated 0 the extension we have now is with United Properties. Once the option agreement is executed by United Properties they will then sell the property to Target.

Motion by Orttel, seconded by Jacobson to approve the I80-day conditional extension request based on any negative environmental discovery. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Erar informed the ED A that United Properties has signed an agreement with Walgreens. Motion by Gamche, seconded by Orttel to adjourn. Motion carried.
