ELDERLY HOUSING SITE, FINANCIAL DATA ON STUART CORPORATION PROPOSAL
Housing Spec.::,list Dale presented some additional data relative to the Stuart
Corporation pru?osal. Commissioners indicated some concern whether this
proposal would .ork. Planning Director Tremere recommended that the
Commission continue to consider the Stuart Corporation as a viable proposal
until such time as Hennepin Cotmty and HUD reject It as not meeting the
affordability test. Director Tremere encouraged the Commissioners to cite all
their concerns/questions at this meeting and staff would then pose those
to the Stuart Corporation.
The concerns/questions raised by the Commissioners were:
1. What is the rental range for the senior project as proposed, rather than
an average rent as per their proposal? The Commissioners want to know the
Low rent and high rent for one bedroom units and low rent and high rent
for two bedroom units.
2. What is the income by family size of the low and moderate income group
that Stuart Corporation proposes to serve?
3. Would HUD find the rental :•lege proposed by Stuart Corporation to fit
their definition of affordable to low/moderat-e income persons?

4. Stuart Corporation should consider developing a mid -rise building on the
site rather than low rise buildings.
5. The project should be reduced to fewer phases (two) with the amenities
Included in Phase One.
6. Would it be possible that all of the low/moderate income units, i.e. 51%,
could be one bedroom units? The balance of the units would then be two
bedroom units..
7. On what basis did Stuart Corporation determine marketability of this
project in the City? Were surveys done and what was the nature of the
surveys?
It was decided that staff could arrange to have a representative from Stuart
Corporation, i.e. either Stuart Nolan or Jerry Sovell, at the next meeting.
Also, staff was to contact Steve Afpelbacher of Ehlers and Associates, the
City's financial consultant, to see if he could be at the same meeting.

Discussion took place on the use of "progr,am. Income" from the sale of the

meeting wlch Nark Hendrickson of Hennepin County later this week to discuss

Income" generated from the project would be to have a lot available and be
ready t(, develop another scattered site house.
