The proposal was two mixed use housing/business buildings along 2nd Ave. The plan would involve two properties that Sabri doesn't currently own: Corrine Zala's house on the corner of 31 and 2nd, and David Corral's house next to that. Press was there: Steve Brandt of the Star Tribune, Burl Gilyard from City Pages. Council Member Brian Herron ran this meeting (very well again). The feedback folks gave Sabri was: have a plan for land that he owns--rather than planning for property he doesn't own. The general idea -- mixed housing/business sounds like just what the neighborhood wants. Joseph Barisonzi from the Lyndale Community Development Corp also stopped by. He is interested in getting the AmericInn on the Nicollet and Lake (when Nicollet is opened up). Basim Sabri and Barisonzi are discussing this.
