Hi ... I live on Alamo Ave close to the mall. That the development includes 800 apartments on the back side of the mall is
awful. That means 1600 cars a day out of there ... just from the folks living there. Tearing down a perfectly good youth
activity center is a wholesale waste of money..... use what we have. Using eminent domain to kick out Sears is NOT THE
AMERICAN WAY..... kicking out someone who owns the land and wants to stay just so another business can have the
area is Hitler tactics. (Hitlers sister saw a house she wanted but the owner was not willing to sell, so Hitler kicked the
owner out and gave it to his sister) I realize that Sears objected to their property tax as too high some time ago, and got
it reduced. However, properties do not sell on the tax evaluation ..... it just looks to me like City Council and Planning are
bulling ahead and are going to make some real mistakes. Or already have ... did they have an agreement with Alberta
that Sears would go before they signed a contract with Alberta? Can you not find an American company to sell the mall
to? I do not like the idea that people from another country can buy things here .... things hooked to the land. I do not
think you have found the best and highest use for that property.
