MISCELLANEOUS
Nr, Willis asked for some comments frac the Council re The City
pol i q, proscri Nd by Ordinances, requiring a 25% dawn payment
on Development Contracts when an improvement ismade. Mr. Willis
said that he and other members of the staff had been contacted
by two develgkrs -- Carlson Companies ,and Rauenhorst-L Corp. -
re the policy. Both claim the requirement creat*s problems
in today's econoagl. They world 1 i ke to see the ti ty adopt a
policy Oftrein there would; be no dawn payment requirement, and
1001 would be assessed.
Councilman Spaeth expressed concern re any change to the policy
in terms of risk to the City. Attorney Lefler advised against
any policy that would use waivers or variances.
Mayor Hilde suggested that the City Manager devise a policy to
protect the City against risk of a developer going under and
leaving the City with financial responsibilities; but also, try
to incorporate some flexibility. He summed up the Council mem-
bers' feelings on the subject: they would not favor a loosening
of the policy re raw land, but might find it possible to loosen
up with regard to property where there is an existing or plann;d
building, Further discussion was planned for the October 7, 1974
meeting.
Engineer Goldberg explained that. the Transporation Advisory Board
of the Metropolitan Council has approved the use of FAU funds
for transporation improvement projects, and the City's prolert
for T.N, 101 between T,H, 12 and approximately 1000 feet north
of Countv Road R wois in.ludcd ;,t", thu eypruvea list of projecl.s
for fudding. Mr, Goldberg was concerned about the timin
and indicated that they would have to move quickly on the proje, ct.
