<br /> MINUTES <br /> City Council <br /> (Cont'd.) <br /> March 12, 1980 <br /> Mayor Hanson stated that he has tried to consider the senior citizen <br /> housing development from all angles. Hanson questioned whether the <br /> City has established the need for the development. Flanson stated that <br /> he does not see a need among the old-time residents of Little Canada. <br /> Nanson questioned whether we were putting up the building for Little <br /> Canada residents, or because Little Canada is a nice place to live. <br /> Flanson stated that the City would have no control over who lives in <br /> the building, or who designs the building. <br /> Councilman Nadeau stated that the Community Development Corporation <br /> would work with the City on the project. <br /> Councilman Fahey stated that all these question have been resolved. <br /> DeBace stated that there is a need, however, why take residential <br /> property, when there is PUD property available. <br /> Nadeau stated that PUD property would be higher-priced. Nadeau also <br /> stated that the elderly should not be moved away firom residential areas. <br /> DeBace stated that the Schroeder property would be a good location for <br /> the senior citizen development. Councilwoman Scalze stated that the <br /> Schroeder property is R-1 property also. It would also require a rezoning. <br /> Parks stated that the City is rushing against a deadline, however, after <br /> 1980 there may not be any HUD money available for this type of project. <br /> DeBace stated that the property in question is a swamp and not worth <br /> $90,000. Fahey stated that the property would have to be suitable for <br /> building without a lot of excavation and filling. <br /> Scalze stated that she would rather see the project in Little Canada <br /> than in Roseville. She also stated that she did not think the Council <br /> had to be concerned with soil borings or the price of the property. <br /> Fahey stated that the $90,000.00 price was not out-of-line. <br /> Hanson stated that the City would have to enter into an option on the <br /> property and then have a hearing on the rezoning. The Attorney stated <br /> the the City should not consider rezoning the property until its <br /> application for funding is approved. <br /> Mr. Nadeau introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br /> RESOLUTION N0. 80-3-117 -INSTRUCTING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO <br /> NEGOTIATE A PURCHASE PRICE OF $90,000.00 FOR ALL OF THE R-1 <br /> PROPERTY OWNED BY MESSRS.
