CERTAIN USES, DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS
WITHIN SUCH AREA".

future development and/or redevelopment of the
Interstate-Lyndale Area, which is the subject of

proposal for the development of the so-called
"Cloverleaf Motel property" lying west of and
adjacent to Emerson Avenue between 76th and 78th
Streets.
D. The owner and developer of the Cloverleaf Motel
property is currently reexamining its plans and
proposals, in an effort to develop the property in a
manner generally acceptable to the owners of
neighboring properties.
E. The public improvements which can be made in the
Interstate-Lyndale Area will depend upon the type of
development which occurs on the Cloverleaf Motel
property, especially to the extent that tax
increment financing is to be used to finance any
such improvements. As a consequence, the final plan
far the development and/or the redevelopment of the
Interstate-Lyndale Area cannot be yet determined.
