City of Roseville - HRA Minutes for March 21, 2006Page 3 of 5 Motion carried. Consider Housing Redesign Application--3103 Asbury Street. (HF0042) b. tabled Executive Director Bennett noted that the application was at the February meeting to more fully review the low home value (45,700) and high land value ($244,400) which brought the total assessed value to $290,100. The minimum eligibility criteria requires that the assessed value be at or below $233,200 for 2006 (includes 8% inflation amount over 2005). Bennett reviewed the new criteria approved by the HRA with the application information and noted that the applicant met the exception criteria. Motion: Member Millasovich moved, seconded by Member Scheunemann, to approve the Lindgren application by meeting the approved exception criteria for valuation. Ayes: 7 Nays: 0 Motion carried: 7-0 Support for Ramsey County CDBG Application -- CCHT -- HarMar Apartments (HF0039) c. Executive Director Bennett noted that Central Community Housing Trust (CCHT) is requesting the Roseville HRA’s resolution of support for its application to Ramsey County for $800,000 in acquisition funds associated with their purchase of the Har Mar Apartments in Roseville. Member Kelsey declared that she has a conflict of interest with this item and that she will be abstaining from voting on the resolution. Motion: Member Maschka moved, seconded by Member Elkins, to approve a resolution in support the Central Community Housing Trust application to Ramsey County for acquisition funding for Har Mar Apartments. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Abstain: 1 Motion carried: 6-0 Process for Review of Roseville Rental Housing - Citizen Task Force (HF0036) d. Executive Director Bennett provided a summary of the suggested process for establishing a Citizen Advisory Group to more fully study the rental housing issues in the City. Chair Majerus noted that the recommendations were well received by the City Council. In addition, Chair Majerus passed out a memo from the City Council regarding their visioning process asked for the HRA’s feedback and support in their efforts. Member Maschka noted that the timing for this effort could not be better and agreed that there was support from the Council. Member Bean was also pleased with the Council response and that the process for a Council Visioning on housing will coordinate nicely with the HRA Citizen Advisory Group specifically on rental housing issues. She encouraged the HRA members to not wait to address the rental housing issues as part of the overall community visioning process but rather make the process separate so it does not get lost in the broader housing vision. Member Maschka agreed that the process should be separate and the HRA should continue with the Citizen Advisory Group immediately. Chair Majerus noted his support for the distribution of people on the Advisory group. Member Maschka also noted that the proposal is good and has a good cross section of people. http://archive.ci.roseville.mn.us/council/hra/minutes/2006/hram060321.htm3/10/2008
