Subdividing the <br />property and reviewing the site plan for the project are expected to follow in the next month for <br />consideration. <br /> <br />In order for Sherburne County to enter into a contract for the sale of property to a specific buyer, the <br />land must be transferred to the Sherburne County HRA, who may then approve a redevelopment <br />program and project plan for the sale of the land to a specific entity. These actions will not create a tax <br />increment fmancing district, but are the legal mechanisms within which the County can achieve its <br />objectives of selling the site to a specific party. As you may recall this is the same procedure that was <br />undertaken in 2005 for the Target Technology Center project. <br /> <br />On November 14, 2006, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and approved a resolution <br />finding that the redevelopment program and project plan are consistent with the City's Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />NA <br /> <br />Attachments <br />.
