Arkell, President of Arkell Development Corporation; Gary Tushie of Saunders- Thalden, Project Architect; and Suzy Gammel, Kenzington Marketing Director. In his -letter' of February 23rd, Mr. Arkell had requested -a 180, day extension to the redevelopment .contract, but he now indicated that, since the sales of condominiums had doubled to 26 by that evening, Mr. Krier' s recommendation that the extension be for only 90 days would be . no problem. The developer indicated that, because sales had picked up dramatically since the model open house, he was optimistic his firm would be able to meet the lender's requirement that' 50% of the .1128 units have to be sold before construction is started,- which it now appears could happen by June lst. Mr. Tushie informed the H.R.A. members that- they should be selecting a non-profit- sponsor for 202 funding for the senior housing proposed for Phase II since the City has at last been given high priority classification for obtaining those funds in both Hennepin and Ramsey Counties . Dick Krier reported that Max Saliterman, owner of .the parcel -proposed for that development had signed an agreement-to:-sell the -land to -the City and all that 'remains is for the City to;•make the • zoning changes ,necessary for •the project before the 20.2 funding application is made April 30th.
