RE: Update on Cottages Inc. Senior Housing Project
In earlier discussions the members of the commission indicated an interest in visiting a senior housing
project completed and operated by Cottages, Inc.
Frederick Schwart�-has stated that he will be glad to show the North St. Paul development ta you at your
convenience. In this regard if you establish a time and date when you want to make the field trip, I will
arrange for Mr. Schwartz to meet you at the site.
In visiting with the Cottages Inc. people, I took the liberty of telling them the port authority was interested
in supporting the project only if it was aesthetically pleasing and well constructed. I was assured this was
the position of Cottages, Inc. as well and that if the commissioners saw design and construction aspects
they especially liked or disliked these would be addressed in development of the Rosemount plans. This
being the case, the field trip should be viewed with some importance.

Let me take this opportunity to give you an update on Cotta.ges Inc. activities. First, that fum has selected
a site -- the Broback industrial area located on Diamond Path. Purchase agreements have been submitted to
the five owners of the five northernmost parcels with closing dates in April. If all the owners do not agree
to sell the land, Cottages Inc. is not bound to buy any of the parcels. In addition, I should point out that if
the purchase agreements are not signed, Cottages Inc. has every intention in the world of simply selecting
one of the other available sites in Rosemount. Cottages Inc. has completed its demographic analysis and
believes there is a large market for seniar hou�ing in Rosemount. It wants to locate a project here and site
is of secondary importance. '
