00:00:46.239 --> 00:05:30.919
carries. Public hearing. Carry. They're actually Thank you, Harry. And uh just a clarification, is this just going to be one motion or do we need to make three?

4
00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:47.360
And uh the second thing is just real quick, I was at the Riverbend uh nature center walking right there by this location uh this weekend and a train was passing. Strangest thing is they didn't hit their horn for the pedestrian

5
00:05:47.360 --> 00:06:26.160
walkway. They did hit their horn right where the pedestrian walkway is from Riverchase One. They did not hit their horn just for discussion questions. I'm sorry.

6
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:43.560
Um, >> questions for city staff. >> Mr. Chair, it just it's a question with Harry. I'm just trying to reme remember from 2022. Is this the final phase down there or is there still kind of a phase Three.

7
00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:36.800
That's why I asked because when when when you showed the the site plan of what phase 2 looked like, it looked like it was going to fill it up, but we looked at so many different versions and variations four years ago. I know there was one that there was going to be like a living facility down there, but that's

8
00:07:36.800 --> 00:08:37.200
all by the wayside. So, >> okay. Hey. Okay. I just wanted to make sure I had the right footprint. Thank you. any additional questions for staff? I will go ahead and open up uh public comment if there's anybody in the public, which I believe it's just the

9
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:54.080
applicant now. Uh please come forward, state your name and your address and Yes, sir. Ryan Nolander, Hamilton Real Estate, uh 208, Rochester, Minnesota. Um, commissioners, thank you for uh the time to talk

10
00:08:54.080 --> 00:09:11.120
tonight. Um, the question you just asked, yes, we are. Most of the time we're full right now. We've got a couple openings on the first phase, but that's because the flats just came open are starting to fill up. So you have people moving between buildings, but

11
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:27.440
see that there's still quite a bit of strength in the market here. Gary mentioned this is similar to the first phase in the number. It's similar to the first phase in the build. It's going to be four stories, same size of units, same layout. Um the only thing

12
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:42.640
that's going to change on the exterior is instead of that green, we're going to have blue on the next same trims that are going to be there. hopefully uh performance that people feel up and we see a product here. So, it's been a

13
00:09:42.640 --> 00:10:03.040
great partnership with the city of Fairbolt with the county appreciate the opportunity to there is no one else in the public so I will go ahead and close public hearing and for discussion.

14
00:10:03.040 --> 00:10:18.240
>> Mr. Chair, I have two questions and I probably even could have asked it. The first one, the the phase one, the garages are tucked under on the first floor. On phase two, are are we seeing separate garage buildings that are to

15
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:37.040
the east southeast? Okay. Okay. So, it's a combination of both. And the second one, and it's not necessarily tied to the developer, but I know when there was the overall master plan on developing that, how the bike trail, there was thought of that that was going to get kind of straightened

16
00:10:37.040 --> 00:10:53.040
out and was going to hug the river all the way through instead of going all the way up by Willow and then coming back down by the river. There was one version of that that I remember seeing it where so like now that new segment of trail that is east

17
00:10:53.040 --> 00:11:10.800
of the new Video Park building, there's a version where that would just kind of shoot straight through and connect with the existing trail that's between the detention pond and the river. And I'm just not seeing it on this new plan. And what I think is it's just that

18
00:11:10.800 --> 00:11:35.040
fell by the wayside. Yeah, it's it's not a make or break. It was just more of I remember one version again four years ago where it did kind of straighten out that trail situation because right now, you know, you go from under the vi, you go all the way up to

19
00:11:35.040 --> 00:11:51.839
Willow, you go about a block and then you go all the way back down by the river erases. >> They did move it. They did move it in between the ponds where it used to be like that quite often and they did >> north. >> I just was there on Saturday.

20
00:11:51.839 --> 00:12:10.959
>> So it used to run through >> years ago. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> And then when they built those ponds, they moved it north. >> Yep. Oh, I got that part. But you know what I'm saying. But there'd be a way instead of going to the north side of the pond, it just kind of continues to go straight and you connect with what's

21
00:12:10.959 --> 00:12:28.240
current. Yeah. And then you're not interacting with all the parking lot traffic. That's >> But that's not what we're here to discuss today. >> Dina, >> well, it's just because I I wasn't around in 22, so I apologize. Um I don't

22
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:44.240
know what the original redevelopment plans were, if that makes sense. So, is this something you said the city is the owner and they do an RFP and they sell the land for a dollar so that a developer will come in and do mult

23
00:12:44.240 --> 00:13:31.360
multif family housing or is it a a a market price purchase of the land and then they do a tift or what's the entitlements that are going to be going along with this or is that something you don't know? And Mr. Chairman, so um some tiffs, uh

24
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:56.320
market rate 80% um income controlled on the 20%. Is there any conversation about that had yet? >> More discussion questions. Do we have a motion? A >> motion to approve. >> First, do we have a second?

25
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:11.120
>> Second. >> Second. All in favor say I. >> I. >> All oppose. Same sign. All right. Resolution 2026 is approved. And when does that go to the city council?

26
00:14:11.120 --> 00:15:56.959
Thank you. All right. Item number four, request to be heard. Item six, uh, items for discussion. any routine business, boards and commission updates. Have we heard anything more about

27
00:15:56.959 --> 00:16:30.560
property that might go in updates or reports? Mr. Chair, it's a real quick question. Is are any of us on any other boards and commissions? >> Where I'm going with it, I mean, I'm on charter commission and we need a year.

28
00:16:30.560 --> 00:16:47.199
Maybe we should just rename this agenda item as city council updates because every every meeting we look at each other, board commission update, we're all kind of looking at each other. We're not on any boards or commissions. So, we could probably streamline things a bit for future. Well, I know you know we

29
00:16:47.199 --> 00:17:04.880
used to have um former commissioner Dave part of the >> that was really nice but he does have a desire to be on a let myself or

30
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:22.480
half know so that would be nice especially when there's something that us and then The only reason I brought it up, it's just steam. Just rename it update on till one of us end up on a border

31
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:38.720
commission. I can't give the same update on charter commission that we meet once a year. >> Not a real big update. >> Uh Chuck, you have brought this >> at least six times. >> Then let's rename. >> We've never had staff's buy in though.

32
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:53.760
That's the problem. >> Okay. What are we going to do to rename this? I move that we re rename item number seven to be city council updates and it actually should be number eight because I would first move that number

33
00:17:53.760 --> 00:18:07.919
one be divided into two things. You call a meeting to order first and then you approve the agenda. It is two items and adjournment would be nine. >> Your motion. >> Yeah, >> I'll second that.

34
00:18:07.919 --> 00:18:27.919
>> Split split one into two. Rename seven. >> Do we have a second? We do. I'm sorry. Uh, any discussion? >> All right. All in favor say I. >> I. >> All oppose. Same sign.

35
00:18:27.919 --> 00:18:45.480
All right. That's that passes. And do we have a motion for adjournment? Got the first and second. All in favor say I. >> I. >> All oppose. >> All right.
