b. Resolution 85-28 Authorizing the Columbia Heights HRA to Proceed with Execution of
Redevelopment Contracts Between the Housing and Redevelopment Authority for the City of
Columbia Heights and Columbia Park Properties
The HRA Redevelopment Specialist reviewed the history of the proposal which is .to be
ocated on the northwest corner of 40th and Central Avenues. He discussed the status
the negotiations wi'th the Columbia Park Properties and stated that the land must
be acquired and prepared for construction by October 20th, 1985. He advised the Council
that if the land is not turned over to 'the developer by that date the project would not
go forward and the City would incur administrative and legal costs of the project. Mayor
Nawrocki requested that the prelimi'nary plans for the project be reviewed by the City
Council before the HI~A signs off on rhea. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding default
by the developer on the industrial development bonds and any liability on the City's
part.
Some local business owners requested information on the proposed parking ramp and they
were advised by the Redevelopment Specialist that a certain area on the ground floor of
the ramp would be reserved for patrons of local businesses. One business owner questioned
how this ramp could be built on property which had previously been considered non-buildable.
She was advised that a spread-footing type of support could be used for the ramp as in-
dicated by soil borings. It was noted that the ramp will be in the City's name but will
be maintained by the Columbia Park Clinic. The Mayor indicated he would prefer to see
the ramp built closer to 40th Avenue.
