HRA BUSINESS <br />Case #1: Recommend Park Development Implementation Plan for `North Commons' <br />in The COR. <br />Development Manager Lazan reviewed the staff report. He noted the maximum number of units <br />that could be built in the development is six to seven. The minimum lot width in this sample <br />plan is standard size and the number of units built would depend on the product the developer <br />brings forward. He explained most of the park dedication dollars have been allocated toward <br />The Draw and other projects prior to this one. Proceeds of these sales would be dedicated to <br />park improvements. <br />Vice Chair Ramsey clarified this plan is only showing the maximum number of units that could <br />be there and there is no proposal at this point. He noted that every homeowner in the area has <br />expressed interest in widening the lots and agreed it would be a better use to have fewer units <br />with wider lots. <br />Commissioner Tossey questioned how this could be controlled in the future. He noted this was <br />going to be zoned a park originally and was not determined to be residential high density. <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood explained the proposal would come through as a site plan approval. <br />The character of the proposal would be at the height of concern. <br />Development Manager Lazan noted the HRA is the Commission that plats the property and will <br />have the opportunity to approve the site going forward. He pointed out the City is contributing <br />more property to the parks than they are using. <br />Discussion took place regarding the original plan for the area and the expectation of the <br />neighbors. <br />Commissioner Tossey stated he has an issue with the fact that this was planned to be part of the <br />original park and somehow that land ended up in the State's possession. <br />Development Manager Lazan explained that is partially correct. The part that the HRA forfeited <br />is gone. The HRA will seek this out with the State and acquire ownership on behalf of the park. <br />Development Manager Lazan posed the question of what should be done with the proceeds of <br />the sales. <br />Discussion ensued on hypothetical costs for the park and what the proceeds could be. <br />Commissioner Elvig suggested if there were proceeds off the property, they should go to build <br />the park. <br />Commissioner Wise offered his opinion that some of the proceeds need to pay loans. <br />Housing and Redevelopment Authority / April 26, 2011 <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />
