through, the Planning Commission believes that this request is worth moving forward for further <br />discussion. <br />Chairperson Steffen asked and received confirmation that there are a few developers that are <br />interested in the project. <br />Mike Allen replied that now that the trunk line has been identified on the plan, this project could <br />be the catalyst to bring that service to the area. He confirmed that there are developers that are <br />interested in the project. He stated that members in the Men's Club are also very interested in <br />the housing project. <br />Chairperson Steffen asked for details on the mix of the housing products, and how that was <br />developed. <br />Mr. Allen replied that they have a desire to provide a mix in housing between single family <br />homes, bay home villas/detached townhomes, and apaitanent/condominium style units. <br />Chairperson Steffen referenced the Anderson property and asked if that was included in the <br />original plan. <br />Mr. Allen replied that has always been an option and is part of the concept with the bay <br />home/townhome product. <br />Chairperson Steffen asked for information on the viability of the golf course and whether the <br />course would survive without this project. <br />Mr. Allen replied that the golf course could survive without the project but noted that there are <br />improvements needed. He stated that the bar/restaurant is currently leased for the next four years <br />but then will return to the golf course. He stated that to add this number of rooftops and add the <br />underpass would assist in providing that golf course community feeling.

He stated that there would be a direct benefit to the golf course, which would allow them <br />to improve their facility. <br />Chairperson Steffen asked if the improvements planned could be identified, and be made a <br />guaranteed performance requirement, to ensure the viability of the golf course, if the city were to <br />provide assistance. <br />Dick Toilette replied that the debt the golf course has is miniscule and the improvements are <br />what will help the golf course and help to revitalize that area. He stated that this will create a <br />community feel that is unique to courses in the metro area. He stated that they are asked <br />everyday about available properties, explaining that these homes would provide a lifestyle. <br />Member Skaff stated that he does agree that this would revitalize the 167th Avenue node. <br />Economic Development Authority/December 14, 2017 <br />Page 3 of 9 <br />
