• Mr . David M . Childs June 2 , 1982 Page 3 g . Who will be responsible for handling land surveys . . . Westwood Planning & Engineering Company ' s surveyors , under the project management of Mr . Krier ; the cost is included in the fees as presented . 3 . Briefly describe the methodology you will use to locate an. interested , qualified developer ( s ) . . . The original development community is relatively small in the Twin City metropolitan area . Inasmuch as we have worked closely with major developers and redevelopers over the past ten years , we would use a method with the following approach : Direct advertising in trade journals , including "Finance and Commerce" , "Minneapolis Homebuilders" , "St . Paul Homebuilders" , "National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials" , "National Association of Office and Industrial Parks" , Multi- Family Association , and Minnesota Industrial Devel- oper ' s Association . • We would develop a select solicitation list to interest selected developers who have shown previous successful "track records" in developments in Minne- sota and the surrounding states . We would send out land data reports offering a Statement of Public Disclosure and Statement of Financing to each of the selected list of developers . We would hold developer ' s briefings and arrange speaking presen- tations at major trade organization meetings . We would hold a broker ' s meeting with the major brokers . Our experience has been that the select solicitation list method with selectively placed ads , has been most successful in all of the redevelopments which we have accomplished to date . We would want to refine the marketing methods , working closely with the HRA . We see no reason to pay broker ' s fees , which are estimated at 7-10°0 of the purchase price , in order to market this valuable redevelopment land. 4 . Please describe how the tax increment district will be formed . . . Mr . Krier , working with the HRA , will establish a tax incre- ment district from the tax increment financing plan which was completed in 1981 . The cost of forming the tax increment district is included in our proposal .
