There is enough land on the site to add another 16 unit <br /> building. There has never been a vacancy since the facility was opened. I am told there is <br /> a lengthy waiting list. The project currently cash flows. My thoughts are that if there were <br /> additional units available, it may lessen the financial exposure to the City and the County <br /> HRA. When the facility was built, the City had to pledge that it would cover any shortfalls in <br /> the operation of the facility. An additional thought I had was if a second building was built, <br /> instead of building another interior community room, look at constructing the next building <br /> with a three season porch or a gazebo on a large outside patio. That way one building <br /> would have a recreational area available in the pleasant months and the other building <br /> would have a recreational space available for inclement weather. <br /> * I received a call from Jon Olsen (Anoka County Highway Engineer). Mr. Olson indicated <br /> that Anojca County was sending a letter of support to Washington County in their efforts to <br /> secure federal funding for improving Main Street. From what Jon mentioned, Washington <br /> County would like to improve Main Street from 135E to Highway 61. This improvement <br /> would consist of building the road with four lanes and tum lanes. The federal funding is <br /> competitive and funding could be available from 2001 -2004. This project would not involve <br /> Main Street west of the 135E interchange. <br /> * A gentleman stopped at City Hall this week and inquired about the use of the old LaMotte <br /> Store as a location for an antiques shop. <br /> 9/17/99 <br />
