i" (r <br /> -2- <br /> in the existing Zoning Ordinance had. been designed to permit densities <br /> • and building heights for -the proposed projects which would make the <br /> redevelopment economically feasible. He added that the amendment was <br /> written to apply only to redevelopment projects so as not to affect <br /> the existing community characteristics . <br /> Mr. Bjorklund indicated he perceived there had been a "creep in <br /> densities" since the first land use plan was adopted when between <br /> 400 and 500 units had been proposed to be developed on. approximately <br /> 13 . 7 acres and now the current plan is for up to 500 units for zbout <br /> - 10 .9 acres , with 2 . 71 acres . deleted from the project now. Mr. Krier <br /> agreed early 1982 the density. had been increased -from 37 to about 50 <br /> units per acre with the deletion of the triangular site south of <br /> Wilson from the Tax Increment -.District, but said it had become apparent <br /> that with the costs of purchasing the eleven homes and one business <br /> in that tract and well over $100 ,000 to relocate .the..residents , the <br /> entire project would become economically unattractive for a developer <br /> with the prevailing interest rates . He. added that these properties <br /> could ,possibly be developed later when the interest rates drop . <br /> Mr. Krier told Mr. Bjorklund all the changes had been accepted with <br /> the resolution of approval of the Tax .Increment District passed <br /> unanimously by the Commission in June. Mr. Bowerman read the reso- <br /> lution and Mr. Bjorklund was shown pages past 42 which he waid were <br /> not in his possession which detailed the project as proposed at that <br /> time . <br /> • When Mrs . Makowske asked Mr.. Bjorklund whether he sees the proposed <br /> densities as a detriment to the project, the Commission member <br /> replied that- he is very anxious - to see the project succeed, but was <br /> concerned that .residents might blame him for permitting greater <br /> densities in the southern part of the City than have ever been accepted <br /> by the community before.. He said he would. be uncomfortable with the <br /> role of advocate for the project. <br /> Mr. Childs told him the role of advocate should rest with the staff <br /> and H.R.A. members and that the public had been fully notified of the <br /> number of units and densities involved in the. project through the City <br /> Newsletter and numerous articles carried in the Bulletin, the Star and <br /> Tribune , the Northeaster, not to. mention the public. hearings which <br /> had been .publicized like. the one -that evening where no residents .had <br /> come forth. to express any concerns . <br /> Mr. Zawislak reported he and Mrs . Makowske had attended almost all the <br /> meetings of -the Kenzie Terrace Task Force including the last one where <br /> Mr. Kuross had asked whether there was an understanding that both <br /> densities and building heights would have - to be increased to attract <br /> a developer and all those present indicated they could accept the <br /> project as proposed. The Planning Commission member said he and <br /> Mrs . Makowske had.. gone .door to door in the area around the Kenzie <br /> Terrace site getting the reaction of the neighbors including those who <br /> had expressed concerns about the senior project planned for the northern <br /> • site which is now considered as Phase 1 of the project. <br />
