REDA Meeting Minutes—Tuesday,June 5,2017 Page 23 simply hadn't reached that stage at this point. As to how and whether developments had significantly changed based on those meetings, Mr. Thelen noted there were certain hot buttons (e.g. traffic engineering study) and while they may have lowered density in some projects, the conversations could be held even though it would impact certain pieces. As to the pending applications, Mr. Thelen advised that all TIF and CDBG funding was related to the 60 affordable units on a separate legal lot; and therefore would affect those applications. However, specific to the MHFA application, Mr. Thelen noted that they would consider the larger project, with certain representations made by the developer and supported by the REDA in previous resolutions of support that may be of concern for all parties if changed significantly from that initial representation. John Belisle, Developer Mr. Belisle noted that TIF was intended to be collected from the entire site, but if units were reduced in number it may impact the term of the TIF, possibly by doubling the term, and asked that the REDA keep that in mind. Mr. Thelen At the request of Member McGehee, Mr. Thelen advised that the Ramsey County HOME funds were specific to the 60 affordable units; and while the Metropolitan Council pre-application was not tied to a specific number of units at this point, they would prefer higher density projects. While Member McGehee stated that that the issue of most concern she heard from the neighbors was density not traffic, Mr. Thelen and President Roe concurred that traffic is a significant issue for the neighborhood in addition to density. Motion (restated) McGehee moved, Laliberte seconded, to not approve the proposed resolution. Discussion ensued regarding this motion and its impacts, including interest in pursuing developer/neighborhood discussions; the developer missing this round of applications if the resolution of support isn't approved tonight; and potential tie vote with only four members available tonight. Member McGehee stated her continued support of the motion. With the opportunity to review zoning designations and density as part of the 2040 comprehensive plan process currently underway, President Roe spoke in support of the motion to take a step back. President Roe clarified that he had no issue with the affordable housing being segregated; and opined that a lot of the project made sense, but further opined that the site may be problematic.
