At the June 12th meeting, the developer indicated the homes would be single level ramblers, which appeal to the 55 to 70 year old so called "empty nester" market and would sell for between $170,000 and $200,000. Copies of the elevation sketches of the units along with a concept sketch plan of the proposed development are included with this memorandum. The conclusion of the discussion of this item at the June 12th meeting was that the City Council would • be open to considering the proposal and staff would explore the concept further. Staff met with representatives from Eagle Crest to review their development proposal. Staff indicated to the developer that the level of quality of building materials to be used in a residential development on the Willow Lane property should be of the same quality or better as that used in the EDA's Bellvue Lane project. The developer has reviewed the material requirements for the Bellvue Lane project and has agreed to provide the same level of material quality as in the Bellvue Lane project including roofing, siding etc. The property proposed for redevelopment is located east of 252 and is bounded by 66th Avenue North on the north, Willow Lane on the east, 65th Avenue North on the south and Highway 252 on the west. According to tax records, the site is comprised of four separate parcels totaling approximately 4.5 acres excluding the land area currently occupied by the frontage road next to 252. A map showing the location of the proposed project is included with this memorandum. If the EDA desires to move forward with the proposed development, the resolution included with this memorandum would authorize the sale of the EDA owned property, call for a public hearing on the sale pursuant to State Statute and would authorize the EDA Executive Director to negotiate a purchase agreement for the sale of the property. The terms and conditions of the sale of the property, pursuant to a purchase agreement, would be subject to a public hearing and EDA approval.
