DISCUSSION OF DEVELOPMENT POSSIBILITIES FOR ELDERLY HOUSING SITE IN "DOWNTOWN PLYMOUTH"
Planning Director Tremere made a presentation regarding the current status of the pos-
sible options open to the City for development of elderly housing on its site .,, 37th
Avenue North and Plymouth Boulevard. He related that the four developers who ViaJ res-
ponded to the Request for Proposal (RFP) to develop the site, were all of thn opr.iIton
it would require more participation by the City and HRA to develop elderly housing with
51% or more of the rents affordable to low and moderate income elderly.
Mayor Schneider polled the City Councilmembers to determine how they felt about opening
up more creative financing options to the developers. He especially wanted to know
their stance on the possible development of a. Tax Increment District to include the
elderly housing site. The consensus of the Councilmembers was to allow the provision
of tax increment financing as another option, provided this would produce affordable
elderly housing in Plymouth. None of the Councilmembers wanted the "Downtown" site
used for family housing. All Councilmembers favored a mid -rise structure of four
stories or more. They gave further direction to staff to re-initiate a new Request for
Proposal, and contact those firms initially contacted during the summer of 1985.
