meeting on the coverage test and building inspections and requested direction from the <br /> EDA related to proposed TIF boundary. <br /> CD Intern gave an overview of the attached map and building inspections. CD Director <br /> talked about the building inspection process and the time it takes to complete the reports. <br /> He also stated that we are still working on what is going to happen in regards to the <br /> Lavalle parcel and the new County road. <br /> Miron asked if staff thinks the TIF District would be challenged and what would happen <br /> if it did. <br /> Bever asked CD Director if he thinks the City will be able to count the Lavalle parcel as <br /> occupied. <br /> CD Director stated staff does not think this would be challenged. He used Richfield as an <br /> example of one that was challenged because they condemned land and the city is not <br /> condemning land for the proposed TIF District. He stated that the Lavalle parcel being <br /> deemed occupied is important to the proposed TIF District. If it is not considered <br /> occupied the district will not meet the coverage test and may have to be removed from <br /> the proposed district. He stated that staff and consultants are still working on this issue. <br /> Granger asked about the Stock Lumber site and the accessory structures on the property. <br /> He also asked about the 145th Street property owners. <br /> CD Intern stated that the building inspectors just inspected the Stock Lumber site and that <br /> the accessory structure will not be used in the building inspection reports. There were <br /> calls made to the remaining property owners that did not respond to the letters sent about <br /> the building inspections. Some of them were on 145th Street and they either did not call <br /> back or stated that they did not want the inspection done on their property. <br /> Arcand asked if there were still developers interested in developing in the downtown <br /> area. <br /> CD Director stated that we still get calls from developers and business owners that that <br /> would like to be located in the downtown. <br /> Klein asked if we should be thinking about a bigger TIF district that would include <br /> County Road 8. <br /> Miron stated that we need to think about what property would develop on its own and <br /> what area would need some encouragement. <br /> Denaway stated that it seems as though that County Road 8 is developing on its own. <br />
