Mounds View City Council December 11, 2017 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br /> <br />Council Member Hull requested further comment from the developer and what percentage of the <br />development would be allowed to be Section 8. City Planner/Supervisor Sevald deferred this <br />question to the developer. <br /> <br />Chris Stokka, MWF Properties, anticipated the rent levels would not allow for 40% of the <br />building to be Section 8, however he reported he could not discriminate against this either. He <br />reported that all renters would require a criminal, credit and landlord reference. He stated this <br />property would be participating in the Crime Free Multi Housing program. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller asked what would happen after the property was built. Mr. Stokka explained this <br />property would be owned for 30+ years by MWF. He reported the property management would <br />be handled by Volair Property Management. He thanked Staff and the Council for working with <br />him on this project. He stated he was pleased with the final project. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller questioned if the developer would work to save existing trees on the site. Mr. <br />Stokka indicated he would be saving as many trees as possible after hearing feedback from the <br />neighborhood. He stated these trees would serve as a buffer between his development and the <br />existing homes. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause inquired if renters within “Boulevard” would be 100% responsible <br />for their rent. Mr. Stokka reported this was the case. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller recommended the development have more than three underground handi-cap <br />parking stalls given the fact the property would have four accessible units. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller asked if this was a 55 and older community. Mr. Stokka explained that this <br />would not be an age restricted community. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Hull/Bergeron. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 8777, <br />Approval of the Preliminary Plat of “Boulevard”. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller thanked the public for bringing forward their comments and concerns regarding <br />this development. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />C. Resolution 8778, Approval of the Development Review of “Boulevard”. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller asked if there were any comments from City Planner/Supervisor Sevald regarding <br />this development. City Planner/Supervisor Sevald asked if the handicap parking requirements <br />should be added as a condition for approval. Mayor Mueller stated this was simply a request by <br />the Council that each handicap apartment unit have an underground or inside parking space <br />provided. She added that she would like every attempt be made by the Developer to provide the <br />inside spaces, but noted that this was only a request and did not need to be made a condition for <br />approval.
