ARVID ELNESS ARCHITECTS, INC.
Arvid Elness Architects, Inc. was formulated in 1975 as a general practice of
architecture, providing service principally to developers of the commercial
and housing industry. The practice has grown steadily and currently maintains
a 25 person staff of varied backgrounds and specialties. The growth is
attributed to an expertise in renovation, good design and the ability to
control the project cost.
i Arvid Elness Architects, Inc. were the architects for Butler Square West
completed in 1981. The project received the Corporate Report Award for
excellence in commercial design. Mr. Elness was project architect for Phase I
' of Butler Square in 1974 which received honor awards from the Minnesota
Society of Architects, as well as the American Institute of Architects.
Our current practice attributes 50 percent of its construction volume to
' renovation and 50 percent to new construction. The project type is divided
equally between commercial development (office and retail) and housing of all
varieties. Services available within the firm are planning, design,
construction documents, construction administration, interiors and graphic
' design. Consultants are used for all engineering services. Key personnel
within the firm are identified along with their various specialties identified
in order to formulate expertise in all facets of the service.
' In 1982, the firm purchased a DEC POP 11/23 computer to provide management
services as well as library data related to design, technical, cost and energy
' facets of the practice. The system will maintain complete records on each
project, each developer and expand the services which we can offer our
' clients. See supplemental information following this section.
The following items outline some important components of our experience:
Fast Track Butler Square West is the best example of our ability to
Construction perform under these conditions. Construction of Butler
' West began within 30 days of our notification to proceed
with design. Our firm maintained the design and
' management role in critical path planning to deliver the
project on time. Other projects of a similar nature
include Nine Mile Office Building and Thresher Square.
Special Housing Among the numerous city and governmental agencies with
Programs and Funding which we have worked closely, the MHFA, MCDA and HUD
' programs have challenged us most intensely. Budgets are
always low and must be met exactly. Sites are often very
tight and occasionally scattered. In spite of these
constraints we have been recognized by the Minnesota
Society of the American Institute of Architects and
Housing Magazine for the quality of our innovative and
' energy conscious designs.
i

�i Page 2
'�- Budget Control All of our projects have been completed within the
defined budgets. Much of this success can be attributed
to the formation of a negotiated contract team in which
3 the project design and guidelines are defined by mutual
agreement. Computer technology has enabled us to library
cost and design data to maximize quality and design
within the limits of the project budget. The success of
this approach, however, has not necessitated a sacrifice
of good design or project quality.
k;
Interior Design We have been responsible for the control of the
Capabilities interiors on most all of our projects. We have
developed, as an extension of our general practice, full
9 - interiors service. These services include all facets
generally associated with interior design including
space planning, furniture selection and installation
management. We currently provide space planning and
tenant improvement services to Butler Square, Nine Mile
Office Building, Waterman Square, Butler North and
Thresher Square. Full service interiors has been
provided for a number of developers for the public areas
as well as separate projects such as Babcock, Locher,
Neilson & Mannella Law Offices, Rain Restaurant,
Minnesota Tile Sketchbook Stores and others outlined in
our brochure insert.
Construction
Two full time construction administrators currently
Administrative
manage our work during construction. They receive
Capabilities
assistance from the project architect and staff familiar
with the project. Donald Schwappach, Associate with the
firm, would assume principal responsibility during the
phase of construction on your project. Donald has been
associated with architectural and construction firms
since 1951. He has been in charge of construction
administration on most all of our recent renovation
�^
projects including Butler Square, Jameshouse, Ryan
House, Maryland House and St. Michael's Convent Housing.
Engineering
We have associated with many engineering consultants and
i
Consultants
would be willing to discuss the merits of those with
whom we are familiar. Firms that have most frequently
r
provided services include Meyer Borgman & Johnson;
��
Bakke, Kopp, Ballou & McFarlin; TAC Engineering, Van
Sickle, Allen & Associates; LWSM and Fowler — Hanley.
3
Working Philosophy We are a professional service organization serving the
construction industry. The success of our firm is due
in part to our sensitivity, imagination and ability to
work well with all people. When the project is a
renovation, we recognize the existing building as an
element that should read through our design
modifications.

What is a Sponsor?
The Housing Alliance team seeks a sponsor for each project. This
sponsorship requires no financial commitment. We seek to involve
those persons most committed to the completion of the project's
stated objectives and goals. With leadership provided from those
individuals most actively involved with the project, i.e. church,.
city, social and educational organizations, the project gains
credibility and substance. As a result, the program will respond
to the needs of the sponsor and future occupants. This approach
makes The Housing Alliance unique. In combining the strengths of
our organization with the sponsoring groups, The Housing Alliance

CONSULTING 6 MARKETING PROGRAM
FOR THE ELDERLY
The major
obstacle in today's real
estate market is
nonliquidity. People
' wanting to
move from their present home
to another home
are unable to convert
their equity to the cash necessary
to purchase their
next home. They find
themselves
faced with prohibitively
high interest rates
both on the property
they wish
to sell and on the one
they plan to buy.
Added to this is a
bewildering
array of financing plans,
options, and schemes that are especially
unnerving to the older person.
y
r--
rr
r
r
These individuals have been out of the real estate market for many years, and
normally conduct day — today business on a cash only basis. Their philosophy of
"neither lender nor borrower be" makes them apprehensive, to say the least,
about mortgages. Persons who have been survivors of the Great Depression and
its aftermath, and have seen bank failure and breadlines are extremely
conservative in their approach to money and debt. People who borrow money, in
their opinion, are those individuals who do not properly manage their own
financial affairs. This attitude gives them a very low "risk temperament" and
borrowing, for whatever purposes, cuts to the core of their security. Further,
like most people, their net worth is made up largely of the equity in their
home and they will protect it at all costs. This, coupled with the emotional
ties an individual makes with a home, makes it nearly impossible to close the
sale.
The only way to update them to the current realities of real estate, is by a
counseling and re— education process. By information and direction, they can
understand today's market and a "comfort zone" can be reached.
In our experience, the best way to help a person to overcome these fears and
insecurities is by information, re— education, counseling, and by providing
technical skills to help them understand the real estate transaction. With
understanding comes confidence and the ability to act. When they feel secure
in their own mind, the transaction can proceed smoothly. If not, the
transaction is doomed to failure and often becomes a battleground.
The Housing Alliance, Inc. has developed a consulting program to meet these
needs. These consulting services include studies, advice, and recommendations.
A general outline of these services is provided below.
SERVICES
1. Analyze current financial situation including analysis of net worth
statement and income report.
2. Interview each client to determine their ability, motivation level, and
confidence to complete the transaction on the purchase of the new home.
3. Counsel clients on the methods available to market their homes, including a
full explanation of the methods, techniques, costs and liabilities.
4. Provide a step —by —step explanation of the real estate transaction, start to
finish, using the specific details of their own situation.
5. Discuss the details of current market trends and financing including
contract sales, realistic expectations for the sale of their home, and
creative financing techniques.
6. Prepare a Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) to determine the market value
of a client's home Including statistical Input and review a recent market
performance.
7. Time and transaction to coincide with their scheduled move.
8. Implement a Realtor Referral System to direct highly qualified and
experienced agents to compete for the listing.
9. Post interview follow —up as required.
The procedure consists of two face —to —face meetings with the client in their —
home and in— office preparation time to complete the necessary research.
Typically, this requires an average of three to five hours.

POTENTIAL GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE TO SPONSORS
OF HOUSING FOR SENIOR CITIZENS
I. Tax- Exempt Bonds
A. For Project Financing
1. Available for senior citizen housing only if the project is
rental.
2. Produces an interest rate on the mortgage loan approximately 2
percent below conventional mortgage rates.
3. 20 percent of the units in the project must be available to
senior citizens of low and moderate income.
4. Bonds would be backed up by the project, not the full faith and
y� credit of the issuing municipality.
5. There are no limits as to the amount of bonds that can be issued
to a municipality.
rL B. End Loan Financing
T
1.
Bonds can be used to provide mortgage loans to young families
purchasing homes being vacated by the senior citizens.
2.
Interest rates on these loans would be approximately 2 percent
less than current conventional mortgages.
3.
The city would have to request authority to issue the bonds from
the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency.
4.
There is a limit on the amount of bonds each city can issue.
5.
Bonds would be backed by repayment of mortgage loans, not full
faith and credit of issuer.
6.
Home purchasers would have to meet income qualifications and
homes could not exceed purchase price limitations.
7.
End loan financing cannot be done on a tax - exempt basis for the
senior citizens themselves in a condominium or a cooperative.
II. Tax Increment Financing
A. Reduce Front End Costs
1. City can issue tax - exempt bonds and make the proceeds available
to a developer through a loan or grant.
11 2. Tax increment bonds can be either revenue bonds or general
obligations of the issuer.
y 3. Bond proceeds could reduce a front end cost of the project such
as land acquisition, demolition, public improvements, etc.
4. Increases in property taxes after development occurs will repay
the bond.
.7
B. Interest Rate Reduction
1. City can use annual increase in taxes after development to assist
the project owners in reducing the debt.
2. City does not have to issue bonds under this program.

III. Community Development Block Grant Funds
A. The city may be eligible to receive funds through Ramsey County.
B. Funds can be used only to assist low and moderate income persons.
C. Funds could be used to defray front end costs of the project such as
site acquisition, public improvements, demolition, etc.
IV. FHA Mortgage Insurance
A. Cooperative Housing Projects
1. Process of obtaining insurance takes about one year.
2. With mortgage insurance, both construction and end loan financing
are easily arranged at the most competitive rates available in
the marketplace at that time.
3. Involvement of FHA helps to protect the buyers.
4. FHA marketing requirements to start construction still consist of
50 percent of the unit must be presold with full down payments
(approximately $20,000) collected prior to start of construction.
B. Condominiums
1. FHA insurance is available for end loan on condominiums purchased
by senior citizens.
2. Can provide additional security to the lender since project can
be rented if sales are not successful.
3. Generally not used for senior citizen financing because buyers do
not need high loan to value ratio mortgages that this program
provides.
C. Rental Projects
1. Insurance takes approximately one year to obtain through FHA.
2. Will provide the most competitive interest rates in the
marketplace.
3. Can be used in conjunction with I(A) above.
V. Minnesota Housing Finance Agency
A. Has expressed an interest In financing senior citizen projects.
B. Uses tax - exempt bonds, so rental mortgage loans are available, but
not condominiums or cooperatives for senior. citizens.
C. Is developing underwriting standards, but indications are that loan
to value ratios will not be favorable.
s
I
CONVENTIONAL FINANCING
The following will address only the permanent financing for the project and
developer assistance programs for sale of purchasers' homes, not including
construction or interim monies.
A. Project End Loan Financing
3 Our experience consulting with developers of condominium housing for the
elderly indicated that less than 35 percent of the purchases involve any
mortgage financing. More than 65 percent are cash transactions. For this
reason, and also the age of the purchasers, creative or "unusual" finance
programs are unnecessary and may in fact act as a deterrent. Given the
current willingness of some lenders to amortize loans at a fixed rate,
conventional financing has been and likely will be a satisfactory financing
method to purchase nongovernment subsidized housing for seniors. A
�. developer might consider subsidizing the conventional interest rate.
B. Financing for Purchasers' Homes
From our experience in consulting people age 55 and older with respect to
the sale of their present homes, we have documented the following:
1. The bulk of their net work is in their home.
2. They need to "cash out" of their homes in order to repurchase.
3. They choose to pay cash for their new housing in most cases as they
perceive mortgage debt to be a burden they are no longer willing to
bear.
4. Having a purchase plan or guaranteed sale program in place for the
purchase of their home relieves the anxiety and trauma of waiting for a
buyer to come along at the perfect time.
5. Purchase programs allow these people to make a stronger commitment to
the new housing project.
In lieu of, or in addition to a purchase program, a developer could provide
conventional financing assistance to better position these homes in the market
place for resale. This financial assistance would likely involve funding a
buy -down program. A buy -down program could be:
1. Temporary
2. Permanent
3. Fixed
4. Graduated
y 5. Provided as a second mortgage
The buyer might use the buy -down with an Adjustable Rate Mortgage or use one of
Y the FNMA buy -down plans. The costs to provide FNMA buy -down points are:
1. Plan I - about 5.72 percent of mortgage
2. Plan II - about 2.88 percent of mortgage
3. Plan III - about 9.53 percent of mortgage
A buy -down could also be incorporated with a GPARM or other FNMA programs.
s
y
FINANCE AND MARKETING COORDINATION
The Housing Alliance Team will assist in the process of securing the necessary
construction and interim financing, and assist in the preparation of the
necessary documents to be submitted for the financing package. This includes
about 20 items usually required for construction financing packages. They also
will identify the sequence of information required prior to any final loan
committee meetings.
At the time of the construction loan commitment, they will assist in securing a
stand --by or mandatory end loan commitment to take out the construction loan at
the time of completion of the construction. The end loan commitment would be
for those units which would require mortgages. If some of the presales fail,
they will also structure an interim loan or combine the interim loan with the
construction for those units that have been completed, but have not been sold.
The interim loan would cover a period of approximately one year after the
completion of the construction.
During the planning process, The Housing Alliance Team will assist in
developing a program for the sales of the purchasers' present homes. They will
assist by the use of purchase money mortgage for those home buyers.

State Bank of Chanhassen - Site Plan
June 26, 1985
Page 2
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Section 9.06(1) of the C -1 District requires Planning Commission
review and City Council approval of a site plan prior to the
issuance of a building permit.
REFERRALS
City Engineer - See attached.
r
BACKGROUND
The State Bank of Chanhassen currently occupies a 4,800
square foot building with one drive -thru window on the west side
of the building. There is one entrance to the site from West
78th Street, and parking is located at the north and east side of
the property. The bank is located on Lot 3, Block 2, Schneider
Park (see Attachment #1).
The applicant is proposing to expand the auto bank, bank
building, and parking area. The expansion will increase the site
to include Lot 2, Block 2, Schneider Park (see Attachment #2).
The auto bank will expand from one drive -thru window to four on
the south side of the existing building. The parking area will
be shifted to the west side of the building and increased to 45
spaces.
ANALYSIS
Lot and Parkinu Requirements:
The site plan meets the lot and structure requirements of the C -1
District. The commercial office district requires one parking
space per 300 square feet of building area. There is 4,800
square feet of existing building area and 7,180 square feet of
future additions, for a total building area of 11,980 square
feet. This total square footage would require 40 parking spaces.
The site plan providing 45 parking spaces will meet the needs for
the existing building and future additions.
Proposed Downtown Redevelopment Plan:
Since the Bank site is in the area affected by the current down-
town redevelopment planning efforts, it is necessary to look at
it in relationship to the proposed plan. Of primary importance
to the bank is the proposed traffic pattern in the downtown area.
The Bank has met several times with city staff and Fred
Hoisington. The proposed plan, with modifications, can meet the
objectives of the proposed redevelopment plan.
E�
State Bank of Chanhassen - Site Plan
June 26, 1985
Page 3
The proposed redevelopment plan shows a north -south segment of
Coulter Drive connecting to West 78th Street, just east of the
City Hall parking areas (see Attachment #3). Coulter Drive (to
the south of City Hall) will be brought straight across to con-
nect to the new north -south street which runs between the Post
Office and the Bank. Pending approval of a redevelopment pro-
cess, construction of these streets is estimated to begin within
one to three years.
Currently the Bank parking area is located on the right -of -way
for the Coulter Drive extension (see Attachment #4). The Bank
will tear up this parking area and provide landscaping for the
interim until Coulter Drive is extended.
The proposed access to the rear of the site is located where
traffic must curve around a parking area (see Attachment #5).
This access is located where the curb is asphalt and was a
possible connection to the former downtown ring road. Once
Coulter Drive is extended, traffic will move straight through
this area and not through the existing "S" curve. Until then,
staff is recommending that the access be moved to the west
approximately 100 feet to prevent traffic conflicts. Coulter
Drive has a straight alignment in this area. Moving the access
west will also prevent permanent traffic conflicts should the new
road not go in and Coulter Drive is not straightened out.
The existing eastern access onto West 78th Street is recommended
to become an exit only. When the north -south segment is
constructed directly east of the Bank, the exit only drive
(existing access) is recommended to be closed and a connection
made to the new road.
Signs:
The applicant is proposing three directional signs, one free-
standing sign and a message board. The directional and free-
standing signs will be reviewed during the sign permit
application. The message board is not addressed in the Sign
Ordinance. The Sign Ordinance (4.03[f]) allows for public ser-
vice informational signs. These can be either one wall or free-
standing sign showing weather, time, temperature and similar
public service announcements. The Bank is proposing to show this
permitted information in addition to Bank advertising, such as
interest rates. The applicant can receive a sign variance as
part of the site plan procedure. Such message boards are not
unusual as part of a bank, and staff is recommending approval of
the message board request.
Landscaping and Lighting:
The site plan shows rough details of landscaping and lighting
fixtures. The applicant should be required to submit more
State Bank of Chanhassen - Site Plan

detailed plans for staff review. Staff is recommending addi-
tional evergreen material for year -round screening along the
north, south and east portions of the site.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the
following motion:
"The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council
approve Site Plan Request #85 -3 for expansion of the auto
bank and two future additions of 4,600 and 2,400 square feet
and a message board subject to the following conditions:
1. Submission of detailed landscaping and light plans.
2. Moving the rear access west approximatley 100 feet.
3. Installation of concrete curbing along the perimeter of
all paved areas.
4. That the easterly access be exit only and be closed when
the north -south segment of Coulter Drive is constructed,
and an access drive constructed from the parking area to
the new road.
Number 1 and 2 above recommendations.were removed for approval.
Staff received the landscaping and lighting plans and agreed to
keep the rear access as proposed.
ING COMMISSION ACTION
The Commissioners unanimously recommended approval of Site Plan
Request #85 -3 for expansion of the auto bank and two future addi-
tions of 4,600 and 2,400 square feet and a message board subject
to the following conditions:
1. Installation of concrete curbing along the perimeter of
all paved areas.
2. That the easterly access be exit only and be closed when
the north -south segment of Coulter Drive is constructed,
and an access drive constructed from the parking area to
the new road.
3. That the landscaping meet the minimum requirements of the
city as follows:
- Minimum 27/2 inch caliper for deciduous trees
- Minimum 6 foot in height for coniferous trees
- Minimum 24 inches in height for shrubs
The motion was made by Jim Thompson and seconded by Noziska.

DATE: June 20, 1985
SUBJ: State Bank of Chanhassen Expansion
Utilities
Sanitary sewer and water services are already stubbed into the
facility and no interruption of that service is anticipated.
Drainage
Maintaining overland drainage to the existing ditch on the south
side of the property will adequately handle the site runoff.
However, to minimize the impervious surface, all existing bitumi-
nous areas not to be used in the proposed layout should be
removed.
Streets
For overall site access and traffic circulation, the proposed
accesses onto CR 16 and Coulter Drive provide no problems. The
following conditions are recommended:
1. An access permit be acquired from Carver County for the
new driveway entrance on the west side of the site.
2. The existing access be designated and signed as an exit
only.
3. The entrance onto Coulter Drive be relocated to the
western edge of the lot to avoid the traffic conflicts
anticipated due to the Library parking lot configuration
and its use as a thru street.

f' SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR EXPANSION OF AUTO BANK WITH NEW CANOPY AND ENTRANCE, 680 WEST
78th STREET, STATE BANK OF CHANHASSEN!
Barb Dacy: The applicant is the State Bank of Chanhassen located just to the south
-- of the City Hall. The bank is proposing to expand and remodel its existing facili-
ties for two future additions of 4,600 and 2,400 square feet, along with five drive-
' through lanes. This was considered by the Planning Commission at their June 26th
meeting and approved conditioned on the installation of concrete curbing along the
perimeter of a variance. Secondly, which merits the discussion that the easterly
access be an exit only and be closed when the north /south segment of Coulter Drive is
constructed and an access drive built to that. As you recall, during our downtown
"-' redevelopment planning process, we identified a need for a north /south segment bet-
ween West 78th Street and the City parking lot. The applicants proposed an access
drive to match up to the existing "S" curve there. Originally, it was staff's recom-
mendation to move it to the west. However, upon reconsideration we discussed with
the applicant, moving that to the west would cause a dead end situation at the
entrance of the bank, so in the alternative we are requesting that you approve this
proposed access and we will install the appropriate stop signs, etc. to control this
turn. Based on the Planning Commission's action, we are recommending approval of the
proposed site plan and expansion based on the curbing installation, the access
requirement that I just mentioned and the basic landscaping requirements that we nor-
- mally require.
Councilman Geving: Why did you reconsider not moving that access to the west and by
how many feet are you talking?
Barb Dacy: We originally recommended that it be located in this area here so that
you would have a straight shot and because of the curving action of the curb.
However, the bank folks pointed out to us that if this were closed off, that traffic
jwould come in here and it would be more or less a dead end and they would have to
perform an odd traffic movement to get out. So we felt that by signing it that we
could accommodate their concern better.
Councilman Geving: But as a Planner,,don't you really feel that the best possible
access is the western most part of the parking lot?
Barb Dacy: That was our original consideration. However, the north /south road is
going to be constructed,
Councilman Geving: Someday. It may never happen.
r, Barb Dacy: We would prefer that this be the access and that would be the temporary
one in case that north /south road wouldn't be constructed.
tl %L
Council Meeting, July 15, 1985 -9 --
Councilman Geving: But it seems to me that if we place the access furthest to the
west on the bank parking to Coulter Drive, we then don't have to worry about the
immediate or some potential of Coulter Drive being straightened out. I don't know
when that is going to happen. I think what is being proposed here is we are actually
creating more of a bottle neck than what we already have. I am not so sure that I
really like that.
Bill Monk: I think I have gone through the same process as Councilman Geving has,
When I first looked at the plan my first reaction was that because of the "S" shape
nature over here, it presents, at least in the short term, an odd movement. Several
points were raised and they are good points, One, this is the main entrance to the
bank, it is a way orienting towards the City Hall and that is the direction we would
like to see, but it does create a dead end here. So if people come in and there is
no parking spot, they have got to, literally, back out, which is not the best set up,
Two, with the entrance here, you do open up the possibility even more and just pass
through it. It's a straight shot through and people may use it as a short cut. If
this did go, I believe it can be controlled by placing a stop sign at this location
and a stop sign at this location. It allows this movement to flow freely, this one
to stop and check what is going and move which ever direction. By doing that, I
believe, that we can handle the traffic in the interim. This may not happen for
quite awhile. When it does, this presents no problem. In the interim, I believe
that getting into the main entrance and a view and the overall affect, I believe we
can handle traffic.
Councilman Geving: Let's take the person who is not going to go through the drive -
in. He comes in on the west side, and I understand the west will be the entrance to
the bank off of County Road 16. You come in there and go north and we are right at
that point there and we find our parking spot, do our business and come back out.
Where will we generally gravitate to. Will we go back down and go out or will we
tend to go to Coulter and go either east or west, is that the way the traffic is
going to flow?
Bill Monk: I think that you are going to see that a lot of the traffic that comes in
here will actually go back out onto the County Road, because they are either going
into town or they are going home or where ever. Of course, somebody is going to come
through here and it is going to increase the traffic that goes through here. This
movement, I think, is going to be popular.
Councilman Geving: If this gets approved by the Council tonight, I really think we
are creating a very bad situation. We already have a bad situation with the "S"
curve. We, as the City, should straighten that out somehow so that we can continue
to let the people go through onto Coulter without having to make that sharp curve in
the parking lot. Bill, could you work up something, to straighten that out, at least
in our own parking area at the expense of maybe one or two parking spots so that we
don't create a traffic hazard right in front of our own building,
Don Ashworth: That is part of the proposal by Brauer. That is really an extension
of that north /south road that is .made a priority by the bowling center coming up to
this section and really making that road. So you will actually see that within the
next three to four month period,
Councilman Geving: That is reasonable. I
am
satisfied.
Councilwoman Swenson moved to approve the

Preliminary and Final Development Plan Request for 66 Attached and Detached Units
West of and Adjacent to Highway 101, Bloomberg Companies:
Barb Dacy: The site plan that was originally submitted to planning staff in April,
originally proposed 73 units with a combination of single family, twin homes, and
duplexes and condominium lots adjacent to the park area. Since that time there have
been a few revisions and two hearings in front of the Planning Commission. The
Commissioners recommended approval of the preliminary and final development plan with
the rezoning to P -1 subject to the following conditions: There were four lot line
rearrangement conditions that we outlined to the Commission at that meeting as well
as recommendations from the City Engineer regarding drainage and the location of the
cul -de -sac in the northwestern part of the site. The Commission also recommended
that a trail easement be identified between the condominium area and Trunk Highway
101, that the gross density of the site be 2.7 units per acre, the impervious surface
ratio of the condominium area be reduced to 40;, that the drainage from the site to
the lake shall cause minimal degradation, that the West 77th Street access not be
connected at the present time, but there should be a provision for a future connec-
tion, and the Commission recommended that the City Council consider retaining a traf-
fic consultant to advise the Council of the most appropriate access to Trunk Highway
101 into the proposed site. Since the Planning Commission action, the applicant has
revised his plans in the following manner: he has eliminated two duplex lots in con-
formance with staff's recommendation, he has eliminated the odd lot line arrangement
in the extreme northwestern part of the plat, increased the lot area of the lot at
the corner of West 77th Street and Southshore Drive and has shortened the cul -de -sac
again by approximately 100 feet which was recommended by staff. The Planning
Commission recommended a gross density of 2.7 units per acre, the applicant has still
maintained his proposed gross density of 3.1 units per acre. We had the applicant go

SUBJ: 1986 Budget
Attached is the proposed 1986 Budget. It has come to our atten-
tion that the revenues for 1985 are stronger than originally
anticipated, even as recent as two months ago. Therefore, the
$200,000 construction loan to Dorek /Baden can be paid from the
1985 budget without necessitating a loan or a certificate of
sale. The update of the tax increment models will be distributed
at Thursday's meeting. Staff will be prepared to discuss the
budget and the tax increment models in more detail at the
meeting.
