9 Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Makowske to approve with the following
change:
Page 2, line 23: Substitute "payment" for "payments".
12
13 CLAIMS
Motion carried unanimously.
14 Unhappiness was expressed with the law which required such large
15 expenditures for relocating marginal businesses in the shopping center
16 which is being acquired for the third phase of the Kenzie Terrace
17 Redevelopment Project. The Executive Director gave figures which
18 showed these costs had been less than originally expected.
19 H.R.A. Action
20 Motion by Marks, seconded by Ranallo to approve payment of all business
21 relocation claims recommended by Federal State Relocation Consulting
22 Services as well as the billing from the consultants for November listed
23 in the H.R.A. agenda packet as follows:
24 *$5,687.50 to Federal State Consulting Services for services in
25 November, 1988;
26 *$9,250.00 for business relocation claim to Taylor Made Specialties;
' 1
1 *$10,956.00 for business relocation claim to Conquest Construction;
0 *$8,375.00 for business relocation claim to Action Acoustics;
3 *$10,000.00 lump sum payment to Frank's Upholstery; and
4 *$42;620.91 to ACS Audio Warehouse for business relocation claim.
5 Notion carried unanimous,
6 Mr. Childs reported that the relocation claims for the Slick's
7 Alternative potential move up next to the Salvation Army store at Apache
8 might be higher than anticipated because none of the plumbing or
9 electric that they need is in that space. He also indicated the only
10 business claim left to be paid would be a maximum of $7,500.00 to the
it St. Anthony Meats Store. He assured the H.R.A. members that the store's
12 current owner was also doing business in the W. W. Johnson Meat Store
13 on Kenzie Terrace and was not the store proprietor who had been
14 prosecuted for fraud.
15 Commissioner Ranallo commented that he perceived Bob and Diane Slick had
16 talked to all the H.R.A. members about the conditional use permit they
17 would be requesting if the move to Apache works out.
18 UPDATE ON EVERGREEN DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Mr. Childs and Mr. Soth briefly discussed the title and easement
problems which were holding the townhouse project up, reporting that
Evergreen was taking care of all the necessary legal work and would
22 probably be coming in to sign the Redevelopment Agreement early in
23 January.
24 TENTATIVE CLOSING ON KENZIE TERRACE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT PROPERTY
25 SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 20TH
26 Mr. Childs conceded that a few issues were still left unresolved on the
27 above but he anticipated the City would acquire the shopping center
28 property on the 20th and then turn right around and sell it to
29 Lang/Nelson for the construction of the Kenzington Apartments of St.
30 Anthony. Mr. Soth reported receiving a verbal message that day which
31 indicated the Town and Country Store tenant was ready to sign off on
32 that location and the Walker project attorney had recommended their
33 client do the same on their location. It appears Kraus Anderson has no
34 problem releasing the parking lot parcel for the project and only the
35 adjoining shopping center representatives were left to indicate
36 concurrence.
37 New Apartment Buildina Desian Greeted With Enthusiasm
38 The Executive Director reported seeing the construction plans for the
39 project and indicated he perceived all three buildings would now have
separate villa -type entrances and no long halls which would do away with
0
2
1 the "dormitory" type buildings first proposed for the project.
Commissioner Ranallo reported a conversation with Minneapolis Adlerman
Walt Dziedzic on the plane coming back from the NLC convention in Boston
4 where the Minneapolis official had strongly reiterated his opposition
5 to a driveway off Lowry for the project and was assured that wasn't
6 going to happen.
7 Mr. Childs indicated the project plat was still at the surveyors but
8 would need to be executed by the Mayor and City Clerk sometime on or
9 before December 22nd. The Chair said he wouldn't be leaving for
10 Edmonton, Canada until the afternoon of the 22nd.
11 The prospects that the long, hard struggle with getting that area
12 finally developed might be over by the next Council meeting prompted
13 discussions of a big celebration for all who had been involved.
14 ADJOURN?�NT
15 Motion by Marks, seconded by Ranallo to adjourn the H.R.A. meeting at
16 9:50 P.M. for the Executive Session on the T.C.A.A.P. lawsuit
17 negotiations.
18 Motion carried unanimousl
19 Respectfully submitted,
