Falcon Heights CDBG _ Page 2 • 2/12/92 . and public works facilities as well as its location on Larpenteur Avenue, a busy county state aid highway, expose the dwelling's occupants to air and noise pollution from vehicular traffic at all times of the day. C. To relocate occupants to safe and sanitary housing • 1. Relocation Two unrelated, male occupants rent the dwelling for $500 per months and pay $125 per month in utilities. Both occupants are mechanics and earn approximately $20,000 annually in gross income (estimate from conversations). Both occupants are in their late twenties or early thirties. These occupants would be relocated to decent quality housing in Falcon Heights or a nearby community. The occupants may choose to relocate to separate one bedroom apartments rather than remain roommates in a two bedroom housing unit. Relocation estimates are based upon this choice (Exhibit 1A). City staff discussed the possibility of the acquisition with the tenants and the owner's agent. Neither the tenants nor the owner were alarmed by the project as long as they were kept informed of the project's activities so they could plan for the future. 2. Replacement housing The dwelling is 864 square feet with two bedrooms, a living room, dining room and kitchen on the first floor. There is an unfinished half story above the first floor that is not occupied. There are two outbuildings, one is a garage and one a shed (Exhibit 3). There is no guarantee that a replacement housing unit will be built in Falcon Heights within the next three years to meet the Barney Frank amendment due to the developed character of the city. However, conversations with the Roseville community development staff indicate there will very likely be replacement housing available in Roseville.
