Evidently, the complex was initially <br /> proposed to be condominiums, with each single unit receiving its own <br /> property identification number (PIN) . The preliminary and final plat <br /> indicate that the project was approved as a condominium. <br /> However, the complex has never had individual owners of any of the single <br /> housing units. Currently, as in the past, each of the almost 500 PIN are <br /> in the name of one individual. <br /> The difference in tax revenues between the non-homestead rate and the <br /> apartment rate is approximately $30, 000 (based on $1, 000, 000 of tax <br /> capacity) . <br /> Staff is in contact with representatives from Ramsey County to determine <br /> if the City has any recourse in this matter, and if so what action options <br /> are available. <br /> I hope to have more information for Monday night's meeting. <br /> AI '111601' '1 S J� <br /> Sarantha Orduno , City Admi • ' trator <br /> RECOMMENDATION; <br />
