26 <br /> • <br /> 2 Appoint oint a Task Force to work with Planning June 27 <br /> Consultant on studies to be completed and create <br /> Work Plan to determine possible outcomes of <br /> moratorium. <br /> Task Force Possibilities: One or two <br /> Councilmembers; one or two Planning <br /> Commissioners; one Park Commissioner; one <br /> School Board member; one member of the Silver <br /> Lake Homeowners Association; one business <br /> member; one member of the Salvation Army; <br /> representatives from Columbia Heights and New <br /> Brighton; City staff support from City Manager or <br /> Assistant City Manager (depending on schedule of <br /> each). <br /> 3 and up The Task Force would also possible retain an July 1 to May, 2001 <br /> engineering consultant to review impacts on <br /> utilities; a market research consultant; and a <br /> financial consultant. <br /> Final Task Could be the amendment of the Comprehensive May, 2001 <br /> Plan and rezoning the property for a different use <br /> or leaving the property as is. <br /> I estimate the cost to the City for this approach would be between$50,000 and $60,000. We have <br /> approximately $15,000 invested in the past moratorium, which consisted of having Springsted doing <br /> some financial work; a facilitator was hired to conduct a stakeholders meeting; legal fees; and appraisal <br /> fees. <br /> If the City elected the moratorium to expire, the City still retains land use control over the property <br /> based on current zoning and the.Comprehensive Plan. Any change would require a 4/5th vote of the <br /> -Council. The City also adopted a Park Dedication.Ordinance in 1999 which requires a 10% land <br /> dedication requirement for any residential development. If the City would like to exercise more control <br /> over possible redevelopment of the property than they currently have without extending the <br /> moratorium, I would recommend a provision in our newly created PUD Ordinance that any rezoning of <br /> three acres or more require a PUD designation at the Council's discretion.. <br /> The benefit of this approach would give the City more control over the possible change of the property <br /> without costing the City the money as would the extension of the moratorium. If the Council is <br /> interested in this approach, I would recommend the moratorium be extended until May 23, 2000 to <br /> allow us time to adopt the PUD Ordinance. The moratorium does not prohibit the property from being <br /> sold to anyone or used as is currently allowed in the Open/Recreation District. <br /> The City conducted the following events and studies over'the past 12 months. See attached. <br />
