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 />
