City of Roseville - Housing & Redevelopment Authority Meeting Minutes for February 1...Page 3 of 3 Member Marks asked who pays the fee (the developer). Member Kelsey said this may be a problem for a developer, but is needed to support the parks. The City could provide incentives for affordable housing units. Creating a reduction in fees for such units or other method should be thought of as providing incentives. In general, the HRA was supportive of the fees, but asked that the staff work on a case-by- case basis or more appropriately use MnHFA standards for affordable housing.
