<br /> <br /> <br />Memo <br /> <br />To: Sue Iverson – Interim City Administrator <br />From: Stacie Kvilvang <br />Date: May 26, 2016 <br />Subject: City Meeting With Master Developer - TCAAP <br /> <br /> <br />On May 2, 2016 the JDA selected the master development team (the “Development Team”) <br />comprised of Alatus, Inland Development and Robert Thomas Homes to develop the above <br />referenced area within the City. Since that time, the Development Team has been meeting <br />with both City and County staff and consultants to review existing plans and data related to <br />the site, required public improvements, Master Plan, TRC and other components. <br /> <br />On May 24, 2016 the Development Team met with the JDA for the first time since being <br />selected, to become better acquainted, obtain JDA perspectives on how to define the <br />project’s success and also get their thoughts on various aspects of the Master Plan. <br /> <br />The Development Team believes that meeting upfront with both the JDA and City Council is <br />crucial in providing them a holistic understanding of expectations and perspectives before <br />they begin work on preparing their development plan for the site. <br /> <br />In preparation for next week’s meeting, the Development Team has asked that Council <br />members be prepared to provide their perspective and thoughts on the following aspects: <br /> <br />1. How would the City define project success? (what does it look like, how does it <br />function, are there key elements, how to assure connectivity to the rest of the City, <br />define “not having two cities,” expectations for the town center, etc.) <br /> <br />2. Are there certain preferred uses and/or non-preferred uses for the commercial area? <br />(i.e. sit down restaurants, grocery store, big box anchor, etc.) <br /> <br />3. Do you have perspectives, desires and/or concerns on housing types? (i.e. entry- <br />level to move-up homes, senior housing, townhomes, condos, apartments) <br /> <br />4. Is the amount, location and expected programming of public parks set or is the City <br />open to options on location, size, and amenities? <br /> <br />After this free-ranging project discussion, the development team will provide the Council <br />with a summary of its work plan for the next 90 days and answer any remaining questions. <br /> <br />Please contact me at 651-697-8506 with any questions.
