Housing Phyllis recently spoke with Scott Wallin, a real estate agent who is a founding member of the St. Paul Association of Responsible Landlords and also a member of the St. Paul Association of Realtors. He was interested in Mounds View proposed Nuisance Ordinance and its approach to multi-family housing rehab. After talking with Phyllis, I contacted Scott and learned of his numerous involvements with cities that are struggling to address aging housing stock and related problems of code enforcement. He was excited about what we are doing and will have one of his staff contact us to explore how their organization can assist us. Friday is a holiday, so City Hall will be closed. Have a wonderful weekend and I will see you on Monday! Samantha Silver Lake Pointe Project: As a requirement under the Development Assistance Agreement for Silver Lake Pointe Project, the EDA has the option to disapprove of the construction plans within 10 working days after the plans are submitted. The plans are assumed to be approved if the developer is not given written notice within those 10 working days of submission. Therefore, to allow the EDA to review the plans, the item has been added to the EDA agenda for Monday night. I realize that this item was not brought to the attention of the EDA at the work session but it was brought to our attention by MSP Real Estate this week. They want to make sure the plans are fully approved and have the support of both the City Building Department and the EDA. A copy of the full 74 page plans for Silver Lake Pointe Project will available for your review in the Administration Department, Conference Room C over the holiday and weekend. Otherwise, a representative from the development group will bring several full size tag boards for review at the EDA meeting. Approval of the plans should be fairly simple and does not in any way provide a waiver or approval of the building permit process. In a conversation with Jeff Huggett of MSP Real Estate he noted that if the building plans are approved and the EDA also approves, they are expected to close on the project later next week. Once they close the project can break ground soon after, hopefully before Thanksgiving. Business Retention Program: • I met with York International on Mustang Circle last week with Tim C.
