Mr. Brewer, representing the developer, Lang -Nelson, stated his firm is supportive of the amendment. Noting that only three members of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority were present, the Exective Director advised that comments can be taken at this hearing and then it can be continued. Chairperson Ranallo inquired how many votes were required by the City Council to approve the amendment to the Plan. The City Attorney thought it was three votes but he will check this before the next Council Meeting where the issue will be addressed. Hennepin County Commissioner Makowske has indicated her support for this amendment. The Chairperson noted he had received a call from a resident who requested an explanation of the $1,200 per unit tax. He stated that since the $1,200 tax was applied the Legislature has changed the formula for taxing multiple dwellings and this tax could increase to $1,500 per unit. r- 'I L..A 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 I 1 LJ 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 54 H.R.A. MEETING MARCH 24, 1992 PAGE 3 Chairperson Ranallo noted that the goal is to have the Tax Increment District phased out in ten years. He felt this could happen even though actions of developers in the District may impact this. The Executive Director stated that originally the tax capacity of the Lang -Nelson development was at 888. It presently is at 1128. He felt this was directly due to the State passing its problems onto municipalities. Commissioner Wagner inquired demonstrated any concern with regarding the Plan. if the School District has the action being proposed Executive Director Burt responded he has contacted the School District Superintendent who felt this action would have no affect on the School District. It was noted that if the District continued for twenty years the School District would have no concerns. Chairperson Ranallo felt the City has a choice to do nothing, which would risk the rents of the units to be increased and ultimately result in the rentals/sales becoming less attractive. He also noted that LaNel could sell the development to a less conscientious buyer and the entire project could deteriorate. Executive Director Burt stated that the easement in the agreement must be more clearly defined. Commissioner Wagner inquired if this amendment to the Plan could impact on the other Districts in the City. The Executive Director felt this was unlikely. He specifically addressed the Meta property whose owner is still paying on bonds and back taxes. He also noted that the parking situation in that location needs to be cleared up. The Chairperson recalled that originally all of the units were to be sold and no rentals were considered.
