Housing and Redevelopment Minutes <br />April 1, 2019 <br />Page 2 <br />Vice -Chair Chuba asked about the effect of future changes to the Main/Hwy. 10/Hwy. 169 <br />redesign and felt those changes would make this a more valuable property. <br />Ms. Othoudt felt it would take another six to eight months before a preliminary plan would <br />be released by MnDOT. <br />Commissioner Eder suggested Ms. Othoudt share with the affected property owners the <br />city's plans and that Ms. Othoudt should have a conversation with them and 420 Main <br />before the closed session. <br />Ms. Othoudt discussed preliminary marketing to potential developers and would be looked <br />at again in the future as they weren't at this stage yet. <br />Commissioner Eder suggested hosting an informational session to promote the site to local <br />developers, noting it makes sense to have a local developer take on this site vs. someone <br />from outside the community or state. <br />The commission discussed the C2 - Business Mixed Use zoning and reviewed the ordinance <br />on what was allowed in this zone. <br />It was the consensus of the HRA to have Ms. Othoudt schedule a closed meeting for the <br />discussion of acquiring the remaining three properties. The HRA also requested obtaining <br />two additional demolition quotes for the currently obtained properties, and were in support <br />of creating a shovel -ready site for a future developer. Ms. Othoudt would contact the <br />affected properties before the closed session to discuss the future plans for this area. <br />3.
