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 apartment/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 <br /> households to the east would have access through the underpass to access the parks and retail <br /> node. 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 Tollette 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 />
