Development Manager Lazan talked about cleaning up the Association already there. <br />Mr. Bray stated the City can address its intents through a Special Services District — like maybe <br />it says lots who share driveways will share parking — most projects of this size have some of this. <br />He felt there is some benefit to having your own control as well as City control. <br />Commissioner Elvig talked about the Architectural Review Board to which Ms. Nelson <br />commented they are more strict. <br />Mr. Lazan asked should the Special Services District be used as an entity as a means to assess <br />initial costs and maintenance or just maintenance. <br />Commissioner Ramsey stated that it's obvious a Special Services District makes the most sense <br />to him but his concern is how we would collect. <br />Mr. Lazan stated that if it's based on taxes then we are covered. If it's based on parcels, etc., we <br />are on our own. <br />Chairperson Dehen stated the City has to direct its own destiny. It appears you are making a <br />recommendation of a Special Services District with some tweaking on some of it. He asked how <br />long it will take to create this document and how much money will it cost. <br />Mr. Bray responded it would be drafting an ordinance for sure but he did not know if he could <br />put a number on it. It could be an expensive process but it would be easier to know once we <br />know where Jim Deal stands on this. He suggested the next step would be to talk to Mr. Deal <br />and to get some sort of conceptual agreement. <br />Chairperson Dehen asked if Mr. Bray means only Mr. Deal, or should Coborn's, etc. be <br />included. <br />Mr. Bray clarified that he means all property owners. <br />Mr. Lazan added that doing nothing is not really an option. We need to act and do something, <br />even if it's to destroy the old Master Declaration. <br />Commissioner Elvig inquired if we would be sharing some of the costs of drafting this ordinance <br />with other property owners to which Mr. Bray replied that would be a challenge. <br />Commissioner Ramsey asked if we would have the majority. <br />Mr. Bray replied that the HRA is the majority of the members but not the Association. He was <br />not sure if it's a majority or a plurality — you need 75 percent of the membership — you control <br />the documents. He added the other timing issue is there are pending sales. <br />Mr. Lazan summarized that it sounds like a Special Services District is the way to go. <br />Housing and Redevelopment Authority / August 31, 2010 <br />Page 5 of 10 <br />
