<br /> MINUTES <br /> <br /> City Council <br /> <br /> July 30, 1980 <br /> Mayor Hanson questioned the statement on the bottom of page 5 of the <br /> Housing Plan. Flans on wanted to know who determined that Little Canada <br /> would have to add 140 units of housing per year until 1990. The Planner <br /> stated that the 140 units is based on Metro Council's projections. The <br /> Planner stated that this was housing in general, not only low income <br /> housing. Mr. Nielson stated that the 190 units of low and moderate <br /> income housing mentioned on page 5 are a current need of the City. These <br /> units could be filled up right now. <br /> Councilman Fahey stated that the 33% of low and moderate income housing <br /> that the City presently has should be worked to the City's advantage in <br /> the Flousing Plan. <br /> Fahey suggested that the second sentence in the first paragraph on page 21 <br /> be changed. Fahey did not want to make reference to multi-family units. <br /> Fahey suggested that the word "townhouses" be replaced with the phrase <br /> "mid-density housing." and the phrase "while additional multi-family <br /> units are still in demand." be eliminated. <br /> Mrs. Scalze stated that she questioned the use of the phrase "first homes" <br /> in the second paragraph of page 21. Gene Delonais suggested that perhaps just <br /> the "homes" should be used. <br /> Councilman Fahey suggested that the word "Provide" be changed in the third <br /> and fifth point on page 27 to the word "Maintain". <br /> Councilman Fahey suggested that the first paragraph on page 16 should be <br /> changed. The paragraph should read...The Housing Profile suggests that a <br /> substantial proportion of Little Canada's existing population can afford <br /> the existing housing units within the community and that there are a large <br /> number of affordable units in the lower income levels. If the growth projected <br /> to increase in future years is realized, Little Canada should consider <br /> the further development of low and moderate income housing units which <br /> are affordable to new, young families who will be moving into the community... <br /> and the remaining sentences of this paragraph should remain as is. <br /> Mayor Hanson suggested that the word "Remove" on page 30 item 6 should be <br /> changed to "Work to eliminate". <br /> Councilman Fahey suggested that points 1. and 4. on page 30 should be <br /> eliminated completely. Fahey also suggested that points 3. and 4. on page <br /> 31 be eliminated also. <br /> Councilwoman Scalze suggested that the word "Shall" be changed to "May" <br /> in point 17. on page 32. Fahey stated that the word "shall" would be <br /> all right because point 17. also refers to the City's housing goals. <br /> Mr. Nielson stated that the next section of the Housing Plan was on a <br /> housing action plan. Mr. Nielson included this section in case the City <br /> would ever wish to establish its own housing authority. <br /> It was suggested that on page 35 the first point under the second paragraph <br /> be changed to read "Consider the enactment of a Housing Maintenance Code." <br /> Page -4- <br /> <br />
