CITY OF ST. ANTHONY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MINUTES October 21, 1983 Those present were: Chairman Sundland, Vice Chairman Letourneau, Secretary/Treasurer Marks and Commissioners Ranallo and Enrooth. Also present: David Childs, Executive Director; William Soth, City Attorney; Dick Krier, Redevelopment Consultant; Tom Donahue, Relocation Consultant; Steve Yurick, Redeveloper (Arkell Development); and Will Montgomery, Architect for Saunders-Thalden. Dick Krier reviewed extensive changes to the Phase I construction plans for the Kenzie Terrace projects, including lots of berming on the site, enclosure of the lower level of parking and the second level open. With all changes, the resulting structure will be 8 feet taller than the May, 1983 proposal and will have a resulting height from street level to roof peak of 66 feet. A motion was made by Commissioner Ranallo, seconded by Secretary/Treasurer Marks to approve the preliminary construction plan of Phase I, Kenzie Terrace with the following conditions: • (1) That the final construction plans conform to the preliminary plan and to the urban design guidelines of the redevelopment plan. (2) That the brick facade color be approved by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. (3) That all open structural parking areas have wrought iron black decorative and secure mesh which is appropriate to the architecture of the building. (4) That the final grading plan be prepared by a registered engineer. (5) That the bus shelter shown on the plan be properly labeled and that landscaping be detailed in the final construction plan. The motion carried unanimously. Dick Krier discussed acquisition of the body shop property owned by the Gudim's and Anderson's. He described the negotiation process and the relationship of the proposed purchase price to the just compensation amount set several months ago by the H.R.A. It was recommended that a purchase price of $207,000 be authorized, keeping in mind the age of the City's appraisal (1 year), title questions on the property as well as the risks and costs of continuing with the condemnation • process.
