S ASHARED\Forms1C0UNCIL ACTION REQUESTADc March 6, 2002 Oak Park Heights City Council 141G8 North Oak Park Blvd. Oak Park Hei yWN 55082 Dear Mr. Mayor and CounoUmembera It is our intention to proceed with our major development in your Central Business District. We submitted plans and ideas bo City staff and look forward toG successful conclusion Of this major p 'ect. VVo really want to make this development e major attraoionforyourcityas well es provide aamuch affordable housing as possible. The project starts atOakoreen Avenue and develops westerly from there. One problem is the appearance of the homes along Dakoreen. This is the "gateway" to the Central Business District. Its appearance 1e important to us and should be for the city. Although the houses are not bad, they just do not conform to the original concept of the Central Business District. |n addition, when the road ie upgraded, the people along C}ebmreen Avenue will lose even more oftheir property to the right ofway. VVe would like to purchase these homes and start this development from that point. The problem is, it is not economically feasible to purchase the homes and then replace them vvithhom/nhomea. The other issue regarding this development is the proximity and appearance of the salvage yard and other buildings and debris throughout the area. Many of you are omvana of the site conditions and appearance throughout the development. The buildings need tobe razed and the surrounding area cleaned up. For these neaoons, we request the establishment of Tax Increment Financing Oieihot in the Central Business District. This is a "Pay as You Go" Oi8Unot whereby the City is in no wa ble or responsible for the funding of the district. Our dollars would purchase the homes and provide the cleanup and demolition of the salvage yard area. VVe would like the opportunity to have your staff study this proposal and allow yourselves the ability [o make an informed decision. Please feel free to call if you have any questions.
