SUBMITTED, for consideration this 24 day of May, 1976. /s/ Roger O. Parent Councilman A public hearing was held at this time on this resolution. Mr. F. Jay Nimtz . President of the Redevelopment Commission said he recommended the passage of this. resolution. He said the City Administration had requested this resolution and he was pleased to ask the Council to adopt it. Mr. Wayne Brownell, Director of Redevelopment, indicated they had entered into an agreement for the sale of parcel 6 -1. He said the contract provided the land be divided into six parcels, and one parcel containing about two acres was for housing for the elderly. He said initially there was to be 191 units of elderly housing, but because 10% was required for the handicapped the developer asked for 211 units and received approval from H.U.D., they also increased the total number of dwelling units on the 16 acres from 200 to 350. He said their commissioners decided to increase the number of units to 211 and remove the ban against hotels. Council Member Adams said all of this seems to have been initiated due to the fact that the developers wanted to go from 191 units to 211,. Mr. Brownell said they had approval from H.U.D. for 211. Council Member Adams asked if this was being done for the hotel. Mr: Brownell indicated this changes the land use requirements. Council Member Adams asked who would be doing the feasibility study. Mr. Brownell indicated he di not know. Council Member Miller made a motion that the resolution be adopted, seconded by Council Member Taylor.
