Project No. 467).
Mr. Tom Oestrich, Autohaus, responded to questions from the EDA
regarding the site improvements at 7709 42nd Avenue North. He noted
Universal Colour Lab is actively pursuing other locations but wishes to
remain on 42nd Avenue. They have extended their lease another 13
months. Discussion ensued regarding construction of the retaining wall
located five feet rather than ten feet from the property line.
The EDA directed staff to review previous minutes and correspondence
pertaining to Autohaus and Universal Colour Lab; to obtain a certified copy
of the lease; to contact the retaining wall contractor; and to discuss with
Autohaus the front area parking lot striping. Staff is to meet with
Autohaus to review incomplete items contained in the addendum, establish
a plan of action, and report to the EDA on January 23, 1995.
IMP. PROJECT 510 President Erickson introduced for discussion Item 5, Resolution Approving
Item 5 Additional Multi-family Housing Policy Loan for New Hope Apartments,
7200-7260 43rd Avenue North (Improvement Project No. 510).
Mr. Daniel Donahue, City Manager, explained that the EDA approved a
loan for $97,350 in February of 1994. The rehabilitation work has
progressed through the summer and city staff is pleased with the
completed work, the cooperation of the owners, and the overall execution
of the rehabilitation project.
Due to unanticipated additional costs, including $14,000 to redo the entire
fire alarm system and $20,000 to replace unforeseen rotten wood around
window and door openings, the property owners have exceeded the initial
budget by approximately $40,000. The owners are requesting an
additional $20,000 loan from the EDA to cover half of the additional
expenses.
