Housing and Redevelopment Authority -2- Minutes of 01-10-06 VII. NEW BUSINESS a. Gladstone Redevelopment Plan (HRA commissioners moved to the city council chambers at 7:07 p.m. ) Melinda Coleman and Chuck Ahl gave a power point presentation regarding the Gladstone Redevelopment Area and the planning process the city is currently in. There was then a question and answer session with the CDRB, HRA and city staff. The HRA moved back to the Maplewood Room to continue their meeting. Mr. Roberts said if there are any questions or comments regarding the Gladstone Redevelopment Area please direct them to city staff. Ms. Coleman said in discussions with Mayor Longrie the mayor would like to see increased discussions with the HRA. Some of the items the mayor would like to see more would be housing rehab, scattered site housing and looking for funds to do that, an increased participation in the Gladstone Redevelopment Area and the policy formation. If the city moves forward into the redevelopment mode, the HRA will have more responsibilities in the very near future. The HRA commissioners should also be prepared to meet more on a regular schedule. b. In-Fill Study Discussion Mr. Roberts said in the fall of 2005 Commissioner Trippler from the planning commission asked various questions regarding in-fill and if the city should have some different ordinances on in-fill sites. Mr. Roberts pulled out an old report from 1997 which identified 28 different properties that staff thought would get developed. Mr. Roberts put together a new report which included several articles regarding in-fill and what the definition of in-fill really is. An example of what staff thinks is a good example of in-fill is the area off Minnehaha Avenue called the Cahannes Estates. The Transfiguration school site was not an in-fill site identified by city staff but is a redevelopment site. The project will remove the Transfiguration school and build senior housing on the site known as Summerhill of Maplewood. This is an example of property re-use that the HRA as well as the planning commission have to think about for the future. VIII. DATE OF NEXT MEETING It is unknown at this time when the next HRA meeting will be scheduled. IX. ADJOURNMENT Chairperson Fischer adjourned the meeting at 8:53 p.m. MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: SUBJECT: LOCATION: DATE: City Manager Ken Roberts, Planner Saint Paul Tourist Cabins Redevelopment 940 Frost Avenue March 7, 2006 INTRODUCTION The Central Community Housing Trust (CCHT), a nonprofit housing developer, is requesting time to meet with the HRA.
