6. Provide an incentive for new young family ownership within the community by providing up to 10 subsidized "buy down and renovation" packages for housing being sold by seniors. 7. Create a pedestrian friendly, new neighborhood pathways and mixed use opportunity to reduce incidental trip generation beyond the neighborhood. 8. Introduce hi-tech communications through fiber optic cable to assist in "on-line" shopping and delivery, as well as medical sernces. 9. Provide incentive to redevelop an existing under leased shopping center and reduce impervious surfaces. Hamline Commons will assist a first ring city (Roseville) to complete redevelopment of an existing under performing (less than 50% leased) 40 year old shopping center into a community asset. The project will add 120 housing units with over 40,000 s.f. of new first floor neighborhood retail and neighborhood office and educational services on approximately 6.0 acres. The Hamline Commons will be transit and pedestrian friendly for the neighborhood and will provide a central gathering place for visitors to the center, seniors within the complex and the surrounding residential neighborhood. The Hamline Commons will provide underground parking to minimize the impervious surface and maximize density and green space as well as linkages through improvements to the pathways and sidewalk systems to the adjoining multifamily neighborhood surrounding the project area. The Hamline Commons area is part of an 85 acre campus of single family, duplex, senior condominium, market rate aparbnents, 2 churches and 66,000s.f. of retail, 2 office buildings totaling over 50,000 s.t:, and subsidized senior and family housing. In addition, the city owns 14 acres of nearby recreation land with a city recreation center (Arona C~nter) which is scheduled for redevelopment to mixed use, intergenerational and multi level income housing redevelopment within the next 2 years. The Hamline Commons project is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan (Section 4, Land Use, Planning District 3, page 3) which projects that the existing shopping center, currently located within a mixed residential area, could redevelop as a smaller neighborhood center accompanied by additional multi-family structures. The property in currently designated on the comprehensive plan for medium density housing and business uses. The Page 4
