General Business 8.01) Housing and Redevelopment Authority's Redevelopment Inquiry Council Member Bildsoe stated he read the minutes from a recent Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) meeting, and he requested clarification on the discussion that was held at that Adopted Minutes 3 of 5 Regular Meeting of March 27, 2012 meeting relative to redevelopment of property located southeast side of Medicine Lake. He asked if the HRA has had discussions with the property owner. Community Development Director Juetten replied there has been no discussion with the property owner. He stated the HRA contacted Ehlers, City's bond consultant, to inquire what type of tax increment could be generated off the property with redevelopment of the site. Ehler's response was that there could be a substantial amount of tax increment that could be generated from the site depending on the type of development. The HRA discussed the possibility of having conversations with developers to determine if there would be any interest. Council Member Bildsoe questioned spending funds on these efforts when the property owner hasn't been contacted. Council Member Stein, a member of the HRA, stated this property is contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan for future redevelopment. The HRA wanted to see what the possibility would be to redevelop this property. A conversation was held with one developer and Ehlers was contacted to provide a conceptual TIF opinion at a cost of approximately $2,000. He stated there is no intent to force the property owner to sell the property. The HRA was just gathering information. Council Member Johnson echoed Council Member Bildsoe's concerns. At some point there would need to be reguiding and rezoning of the property. She also doesn't want mixed signals or concerns with the property owner. She prefers to involve property owners so they realize that it's information gathering only. She asked what the next steps are for the HRA and if the report from Ehlers is time sensitive. Council Member Stein replied the information was based on 16-20 units per acre density for housing and how much tax increment could be generated. He noted that there wasn't a full HRA in attendance at the recent meeting in which this was discussed, and any action was continued until the next HRA meeting. He also stated that if there aren't any developers interested, there's no use in going forward. Council Member Johnson cautioned having any meetings with developers so they also don't get the wrong impression. The Council requested that the HRA send a letter to the property owner, and a copy of that letter be provided to the Council. Reports and Staff Recommendations 9.01) Legislative Update Mayor Slavik reported that she and Public Works Director Cote recently met with MN/DOT regarding a third lane on I-494. MN/DOT suggested that a managed lane (MN Pass) study be taken from 394 to Rogers. This study would determine if a managed lane would be feasible. Even though the Council doesn't support a managed lane, MN/DOT stressed that until this type of study is completed, no further study would be done on 1-494. She provided a copies of a draft Adopted Minutes 4 of 5 Regular Meeting of March 27, 2012 letter that she would like to send to MN/DOT regarding the Council's position on I-494 and supporting the study. Public Works Director Cote added his impression was that this study had to be done for consideration of any funding for anything other than a managed lane. The majority of the Council was in support of sending the letter and setting up a meeting with Director of Transportation after the Legislature has adjourned and with the Metropolitan Council. Council Member Black stated at that meeting she would also like to discuss improving Highway 169. Adiournment Mayor Slavik adjourned the meeting at 7:53 p.m. Sandra R.
