They are <br />interested in pursuing development of the former Gor-em property south of the Center Oaks <br />development. They have been looking at this property for a couple of months. They have <br />(he engineering firm JR Hiii wori<ing on a sketch plan. The engineer that is designing the <br />sketch plan actually lives in Centerville on a cul-de-sac off of Center Street. He has <br />assured me that he is interested in seeing a quality built and designed subdivision. They <br />are expecting that the subdivision would be constructed in two to three phases with a total <br />of 75-85 lots. They will be proposing 17,500 square foot minimum lot sizes. The developer <br />estimated home values at $185,000-: ~' ,,, -..... . <br />planning commission agenda. <br /> <br />* Mayor Wilharber and I attended a meeting in Lino Lakes last evening in regards to the <br />proposed Chain of Lakes YMCA. There were representatives in attendance from Lino <br />Lakes, Hugo and Circle Pines. The YMCA is conti,wing with their capital fund raising <br />campaign. To date their is $4,626,000 committed to the project. The required funding to <br />begin the project is $6,010,000. Darryl Silverness (YMCA Director) presented some <br />options for the surrounding communities to financially participate in the project. With <br />varying levels of financial commitment comes various discolmts to the YMCA. An attractive <br />feature ihat is in the preliminary plans is a teen center. The Y representatives were also <br />receptive to the possibility of a skate park in conjunction with their proposed facility. They <br />currently operate skate parks at some of their other locations. The main item of concern is <br />transportation to the proposed location to and from the surrounding communities. It was <br />interesting to learn that their teen centers have annual operational costs of approximately <br />$60,000 to $70,000 per year. It seems to make sense that this is a potential item that all <br />communities could support. The Y director will be working on a transportation schedule <br />that will be made available to communities prior to making any type of financial <br />commitments. It also was suggested that they hold community meetings in each City to <br />gather input and present their ideas prior to the City's certifying their finallevys <br /> <br />* I attended a meeting yesterday at Chomonix to discuss snowmobiles and routes in the <br />9/8/00 <br />
