-2- • for the land, as previously agreed to, before November 1st, the consultant reiterated that he believes a "reasonable extension, with only minor conditions attached, would be in order". A formal request for the extension would be presented to the H.R.A. as soon as Mr. Krier receives it and he assured the H.R.A. members the request would be accompanied by a diagram showing the sun shading for a taller build- ing than originally approved so neighbors' concerns about the effect of the building on their properties can be answered satisfactorily. The consultant indicated he perceives there would be no need for a long term bond since the payment by the redevelopers would improve the cash flow for the project. Judge Crane Winton had ordered the condemnation of the subject parcels which must be acquired for Phase 1 and it is Mr. Krier's conjecture that the condemnation process would be permitted to be completed because of the desire by all concerned parties to get the title cleared. There had been a long, long list of parties who had to be notified of the condemnation proceedings,, Mr. Krier said, and the survey had revealed a discrepancy in the land description for the body shop property which now indicates a maximum of ten feet of land which had been assumed to belong to Hobie Swan, actually belongs to the body shop parcel. On the other parcel there had been a contract for deed owner who had imposed difficult conditions on the sale of that land. Commissioner Ranallo said he would certainly go along with the • request for an extension of the redeveloper's agreement and perceives the construction might even be started in February. The Chairman said he believed the developer had handled the whole matter in a very responsible manner and the building addition request, coming in this manner, had certainly been appropriate, since the survey had confirmed that the parking originally proposed for the building would not be marketable. Motion by Secretary/Treasurer Marks and seconded by Commissioner Enrooth to approve the assignment of the contract with Westwood Planning and Engineering Company for planning services on the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project to the Derrick Land Company in order that Dick Krier could continue to serve as consultant to the H.R.A. on that project. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Secretary/Treasurer Marks and seconded by Commissioner Ranallo to adjourn the St. Anthony Housing and Redevelopment Authroity at 8:19 P.M. Motion carried unanimously. Respectfully submitted, • Helen Crowe, Secretary
