Councilmember Anderson asked about the number of units - was it 144 we envisioned? <br /> <br />Ms. Frolik replied that we have to look at the entire area. <br /> <br />A comment was made that the City is interested in less heavy density. <br /> <br />Mike Black, Developer, noted that the site proposed for apartments is 10 acres so the overall <br />density would be 14.4 a gross acre - that would include the wetland. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly stated she would like a list of other cities that have this type of project <br />- listing how high the rent is and is there a sunset clause. <br /> <br />Mr. Dunbar felt that could all be worked out with the City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson inquired if management is a problem. <br /> <br />Mr. Dunbar stated that they would propose that management be done through them - and that <br />would be Great Lakes Management. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated he has a theory - the closer you put people together - the <br />more they require - with regard to parks, etc. On one end, we are creating greater needs from the <br />City. <br /> <br />Funding, valuation and taxes were talked about. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson inquired if there is a way to reduce density. <br /> <br />Mr. Dunbar replied that they are looking at the 12 to 14 density range to make it work. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that the issue is with putting high density close to low <br />density. <br /> <br />Mr. Dunbar described the type of apartments - pointing out that they are not the corm~on <br />corridor type. He talked about exits and entrances and added that he may need to discuss that all <br />further with staff. He added that they just wanted to get some feedback from Council - so they <br />would know whether to go ahead and get the land. <br /> <br />#3: Ace Solid Waste Proposed Development <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated that Ace Solid Waste is proposing a project on a site in <br />Ramsey.
