Commissioner Monson questioned how Highway 96 could be improved. Deputy Director of <br />Program Delivery Mazzetillo discussed how the access or connection points into Rice Creek <br />Commons would have to be controlled and properly aligned. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monson encouraged staff to properly and fully understand the traffic needs for <br />Highway 96 within the updated AUAR. <br /> <br />c. Review and Update on Adjacent Infrastructure Projects <br /> <br />Director Collins stated Ella Mitchell from Ramsey County would be reporting on this item. <br /> <br />Ella Mitchell stated the General Services Administration (GSA) began soft marketing the 62-acre <br />“Hillview” property (also referred to as “Primer Tracer”) in Fall 2022. In Spring 2023 GSA and <br />the County developed a draft document to describe access to the property. GSA continued to <br />manage the interest/questions related to the condition and timing of the sale. In May 2023, <br />GSA drafted the terms and conditions of the sale and posted the property on the auction <br />website (realestatesales.gov). In June 2023, the first bid on property ($121,121) was received. <br />In July 2023, GSA scheduled site inspections with assistance from Ramsey County and City of <br />Arden Hills. Based on additional interest, GSA may make the property available for another <br />inspection opportunity. With regard to the closing of the auction, GSA anticipates a soft close <br />date notice being posted after Labor Day for a mid-September close time. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fabel questioned how many parties were bidding on the property. Ms. Mitchell <br />reported it was her understanding two parties were bidding on the property. She explained <br />more information regarding the bidding was available online. <br /> <br />d. Review of County Housing Resources <br /> <br />Director Collins provided an overview of housing resources that have become available to the <br />County over the past several years that could be used to support housing infrastructure and <br />development on Rice Creek Commons. She further discussed the tools and resources that <br />would be available to assist with funding affordable housing and commented on the need for <br />affordable housing in Ramsey County. Through the County’s efforts, the County would have $75 <br />million available to invest in affordable housing over the next three years. She indicated <br />another $11 million would be generated through the affordable housing sales tax. She reviewed <br />how her staffing levels have changed which would greatly assist with bringing new and <br />affordable housing to the County. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fabel questioned what dollar amount in County subsidies would be available to <br />Rice Creek Commons. Director Collins stated because this project would have a 10 year build <br />out, the County would be able to plan within each individual project how to invest in affordable <br />housing based on the various tools and funding sources that were available. <br />
