NEW BUSINESS
1. Report from Cable Commission-Kim Facile
Kim Facile, from the Cable Commission, presented the Cable Commission Report.
Timothy Finnerty, Executive Director Ramsey/Washington Cable Commission, was present to
answer council questions.
2. Affordable Housing Presentation
Assistant City Manager Coleman provided a short history on the continued focus on affordable
housing, the restrictions cities are faced with, and what is actually considered "affordable housing".
Ms. Coleman spoke to the Legacy Village, Gladstone and Hillcrest Projects and how they factor into
the affordable housing plan. A document from the Urban Land Institute was distributed that all
were encouraged to read which focused on how multiple family housing is needed today more than
ever. In summary, Assistant City Manager Coleman felt the City of Maplewood is ahead of the
curve in addressing life-cycle housing, and the type of housing where the city is falling short, the
Legacy Village Project will fill that need.
Pastor Gary Olson, Lakeview Lutheran Church, asked for clarification on the for-sale units pricing
and the number of units available. Ms. Coleman noted there would be 198 units available (all
townhomes at this point) and the price range will be $150,000.00-170,000.00.
