Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,July 7, 2014 <br /> Page 10 <br /> Councilmember Willmus further opined that it allowed the party eventually ac- <br /> quiring the property to perform due diligence and sign the property appropriately; <br /> and again while understanding Councilmember Laliberte's point, in that context <br /> as described by Ms. Kelsey and in the agreement itself, he found no great concern <br /> on his part. <br /> Mayor Roe stated that, when first reading the draft agreement and timing as noted <br /> by Councilmember Laliberte, he shared her concerns; however, he concurred with <br /> Councilmember Willmus after this discussion. Mayor Roe noted that there were <br /> sufficient legal protections within the system itself that no final contractual <br /> agreement could be processed that allowed GMHC to sell property they did not <br /> yet own. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Willmus; Etten; McGehee; and Roe. <br /> Nays: Laliberte. <br /> Motion carried. <br /> f. General Ordinances for Adoption <br /> g. Presentations <br /> a. Joint Meeting with Housing& Redevelopment Authority <br /> Members Present: Chair Dean Maschka; Members Vicki Lee, Kelly Quam; and <br /> Councilmember/HRA Member Jason Etten. Chair Maschka introduced tonight's <br /> discussion points based on the HRA's current work plan, and possible items for <br /> consideration with direction by the City Council as part of tonight's dialogue. <br /> Work Plan goals were outlined in the RCA dated July 7, 2014, the updated work <br /> plan (Attachment A), and additional attachments including a map of multi-family <br /> sites (Attachment B), data on Southeast Roseville (Attachment C), Police Data on <br /> Hotels (Attachment D), and comparison maps of single-family home conversions <br /> to rentals (Attachment E). <br /> Individual HRA Members reviewed current Work Plan Goals I through V prior to <br /> Chair Maschka seeking City Council feedback on potential acquisition or partner- <br /> ing opportunities for several multi-family properties in the City of Roseville. <br /> Those potential sites included: the Owasso School Site; the Lexington and <br /> Woodhill Site; and the Good Samaritan Home Site on County Road B. <br /> Chair Maschka opined that the Good Samaritan site provided a possible demon- <br /> stration project for stackable redevelopment of the Har Mar Mall area, which had <br /> been a long-time dream for the community at large. Chair Maschka noted that the <br /> timing was ripe with the addition of the BRT line along Snelling Avenue and oth- <br /> er elements that could create a "Roseville East" development similar to that ac- <br /> complished in the City of St. Louis Park.
