Member Hardin asked'if the City will request the developer to develop certain lots prior to other <br /> lots, such as lots along Ramsey Boulevard compared to interior lots. He referenced the language <br /> in paragraph three and asked if legal counsel should review the language that specifies "$5,000 <br /> against the parcel". <br /> Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama stated that he will ensure that the <br /> language is correct prior to this moving to the City Council. He stated that the phasing of homes <br /> will fall to Community Development and the Planning Commission. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill noted that a phasing plan has not yet been provided. <br /> He noted that if there is a preference, staff can encourage that. <br /> Member Hardin stated that he would prefer the lots along arterial roads developed first, followed <br /> then by the interior lots. <br /> Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama stated that he would be happy to filter <br /> that comment through the Planning Commission as the review process continues. <br /> Motion by Member Burandt, seconded by Member Hardin, to recommend to City Council to <br /> Approve Amendment #1 to the Purchase Agreement between the City of Ramsey and Centra <br /> Homes, LLC, Approve the Right-of-Re-Entry Agreement with Centra Homes (contingent upon <br /> review by legal counsel), LLC, and Approve Resolution #18-051 Authorizing the Sale of City <br /> Owned Land to Centra Homes, LLC. <br /> Further discussion: Member Hardin asked if the right-of-reentry could be modified upon legal <br /> counsel review. Member Burandt confirmed that addition. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Steffen, Members Burandt, Hardin, Kanaventi, <br /> LeTourneau, and Riley. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br /> 4.06: Authorize Staff to Complete Three Shovel Ready Certifications <br /> Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama presented the staff report. <br /> Chairperson Steffen asked the number of shovel ready properties within the City today. <br /> Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama stated that although staff has gone <br /> through the process on seven or eight sites, there are only perhaps three that are Minnesota <br /> DEED Shovel Ready Certified. He noted that almost all of the significant City owned sites are <br /> "shovel ready" but simply do not have the Minnesota DEED certification because of the cost- <br /> benefit. <br /> Member Riley stated that his question is why the City would spend the funds to improve land <br /> that is not owned by the City but noted that he understands that the developer would pay the <br /> actual costs and the City would only facilitate that process. <br /> Economic Development Authority/April 12,2018 <br /> Page 5 of 8 <br />
