(55). 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

were $50,335.12.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Roll call: Enrooth, Ranallo, Marks - aye
