- 2. - <br />When she suggested the City could buy the land from her to build more townhomes, <br />Mrs. Dorumsgard was told the economics for that or for building single family homes <br />next to her just weren't there. Her suggestion that Mr. Childs hadn't been fair <br />or honest to her were sharply contested and the Mayor told Mrs. Dorumsgard the only <br />reason the City had gotten involved in the project at all had been because of the <br />constant complaints over Uie last 14 years from her and her neighbors about the <br />types of activities on'the Walbon properties. The Walbon won't just go away, <br />Mayor Sundland told her and when she asked just what she would be looking at from <br />her front window, he said she would probably see the exterior of the townhomes <br />which would not be much different in appearance from the homes in that area, whose <br />owners had all agreed they could live better with this project than to continue <br />with the noise and appearance of the Walbon property. If that had not been the <br />case, the City would not be considering the next steps in the process of redevelop- <br />ing that problem property. <br />Mrs. Dorumsgard left the meeting after the following action was taken: <br />Motion by Commissioner Ranallo and seconded by Secretary/Treasurer Marks to take <br />the steps necessary to make a final decision on the redevelopment of the Walbon <br />Propertyfora 32 -unit townhome project by authorizing landbuilding and reloca- <br />tion appraisals of the subject property and to authorize staff to negotiate an <br />agreement with Dick Krier for consulting services on the project. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />Motion by Commissioner Ranallo and seconded by vice Chair Enrooth to adjourn the <br />Housing and Redevelopment Authority meeting at 9:15 p.m. <br />• Motion carried unanimously. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Helen Crowe, Secretary <br />40 <br />
