LANEL - REQUEST FOR SURPLUS TAX INCREMENT FINANCING FUNDS The City Manager explained the request noting that the taxes due on the Individual units in the Autumn Woods development are still well below the $1,200 per unit figure used as a benchmark for considering the return of surplus tax increment funds. Councilmember Enrooth had understood previously this matter would be brought back to the Council only if the taxes on the development exceeded $60,000. This has oot been the case as the taxes in 1988 were $60,028.64 and. in 1989 H.R.A. Meeting April 10, 1990 page 2 1 were $50,335.12. 2 3 Paul Brewer, a representative of the developer of Autumn Woods, requested 4 the Council take no action on this request at the present time but rather 5 discuss it at a Council work session. 6 7 It was noted that tax increment funds cannot be transferred from one TIF 8 District to another but may be used.ln'the same district for further 9 development. 10 11 The City Man4ger observed that this matter can be deferred for one year from 12 this date when there will.be a tax statement available for a full year. 13 14 The City Attorney agreed and felt there would be no problem if this matter 15 were deferred until a later date for further consideration. Councilmember 16 Enrooth felt this was the Intent of the Council previously. 17 18 Mr. Brewer requested this matter be considered at the Council work session 19 on May 1st. He would be prepared to make additional presentations to support 20 his request and stated he preferred -this matter not be delayed for a year. 21 22 Motion by Marks, second by.Ranallo to lay the matter of the LaNel request �3 for excess TIF money over for one year, to be brought back up again in 4 *5 --- April 1991 after the 1990 tax statements are -out. 26 Roll call: Enrooth, Ranallo, Marks - aye 27 Makowske - abstain 28 �9 ( b. ;LANEL - CURB CUT ON KENZIE TERRACE 30 ;1 LaNel is requesting that money be made available through H.R.A. funds for 32 a curb cut. The City Manager indicated that the cost would be approximately 33 $25,000 and this amount Is available in the H.R.A. fund. 34 35 Commissioner Ranallo inquired as to what LaNel has planned for pedestrian 36 37 access. 38 Mr. Brewer responded that LaNel intends to install a pedestrian access or 39 a ramp. The developer is hoping for some cooperation from Kraus -Anderson 40 In the area. He noted that if they don't cooperate the access will have 41 to be built up against their wall. 42 43 The City Manager suggested this pedestrian access could be tied Into the 44 Walker property as there is a natural incline In that location. 45 46 Commissioner Enrooth indicated that the location of this access would be 47 more conducive for traffic flow. Brewer assured that the pedestrian access 48 Is definitely 1n the plan. 49 • 50 He noted that LaNel is looking at improving access for emergency vehicle 01 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 5 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 050 H.R.A. Meeting April 10, 1990 page 3 traffic. The City Manager indicated he has received numerous complaints regarding the silt from this development that comes onto Lowry Avenue. He has had frequent calls from Councilmember Dziedzlc. It was noted that all of the -easements involved with this development will be returned to the City. Commissioner Makowske inquired who would actually do the work on this project. LaNel has obtained the cost estimates and intends to do the work as it would be less costly. The City will reimburse them for the work. Commissioner Enrooth inquired where this curb cut will be located in relation to the other curb cut in the area. Mr. Brewer advised that as part of the permit process it Is required that this curb cut does not interfer with the one already -in place and does not interfer with the stacking process of vehicles. The actual location of the curb cut was viewed on a wall map in the Council Chambers. Tom Burt advised that the $200,000 in the H.R.A. fund can be used some where else. TIF funds can only be used in the District. The H.R.A. will be refunded by TIF funds. Commissioner Enrooth observed that this is a logical use of H.R.A. funds. The City Manager stated that the funds are being used for a' public safety purpose and are justified. Motion by Marks, second by Enrooth that we use money from the TIF District where the LaNel project is located in the construction cost of the curb cut on Kenzie Terrace which is approximately $25,875, and as part of this we expect that LaNel will complete the pedestrian access to the east, and the emergency vehicle access to the south end of the project be graded for ready access for emergency vehicles and that easements prepared and submitted by City staff to LaNel be signed and submitted to the City Council for approval.
