The Manager indicated there was no longer any urgency to develop a Housing Plan for the City since the Arkand Partnership have indicated they have other methods of financing the rollover of homes to enable their owners to buy into the Kenzington condominiums . He said the redevelopers anticipate a majority of the purchasers would be from Minneapolis which has its own housing bond programs and it would not be economically feasible for the City or Developer to put up a million dollars in front end dollars to set up a housing bond program for the number of St. Anthony residents who can be expected to buy condominiums . However, even though the Housing Plan would not be approved until January 6 , 1985 , Mr. Childs indicated he would like to see such a plan developed early next year. There are 12 condominiums sold to date, Mr. Childs reported, and construction won't be started until 50% or- 67 are sold. However, the redevelopers are putting up a model beginning the week of November 21st. The Manager told Commissioner Jones there would be no speculative buying, at least on the first round of unit purchases , on the project.
