Staff gave an update at the <br /> meeting on the coverage test and requested direction from the EDA related to proposed <br /> TIF boundary. <br /> CD Intern gave an overview of the TIF district establishment process and the building <br /> inspections. CD Intern stated we are in the process of calling the people that sent the <br /> return card stating they did not want the city to do a building inspection of their property <br /> and the people that had not responded to the letters. Miron asked about having a <br /> community meeting with the people that have let us do a building inspection and the ones <br /> that are not going to let us,to inform them of the TIF district and downtown <br /> development. CD Director stated we had meetings on downtown development in the past <br /> and if the EDA would like we could do more. <br /> Denaway asked if we inspected the Stock Lumber site yet. CD Intern stated they have not <br /> responded to the letters. <br /> CD Director stated he has been in contact with Mike Anderson about Carpenters <br /> restaurant and there has been a development group interested in the property. He also <br /> discussed the building inspection and coverage tests. He talked about the Lavalle <br /> property being large and not being considered occupied for the coverage test and that this <br /> is an important piece. <br /> Bever stated that he Lavalle property is important for the downtown redevelopment plan. <br /> Klein asked about the time line of establishing the TIF district and if there was a <br /> deadline. CD Director stated it will probably be 2-3 months and there is not deadline to <br /> apply. <br /> Arcand asked if the district had to be contiguous. CD Director stated it needs to be, but <br /> we could propose two separate districts. <br /> Miron stated that we should go ahead and call the residents that have not responded, do <br /> some assumptions buildings for inspections, and find out what you can about the Lavalle <br /> property. <br /> Granger asked if we could have a map that would include the properties that qualify for <br /> the building inspection test,properties that do not qualify, and show properties that may <br /> or may not qualify by doing assumptions. <br /> Staff agreed to bring the information requested at the next EDA meeting on September <br /> 18, 2006. <br />
