Kirk Schnitker, community development specialist, for Dakota County HRA presented a proposal to Council to utilize tax increments within the city for additional housing redevelopment. Schnitker explained there are increments available from the scattered site housing program established in 1984 which would allow the HRA to take home sites and other property which are under utilized or not meeting today's building and zoning code and offer the sites to contractors to build single family and/or multi -family units. The proposed areas for this program were Rose Park Addition and Broback Industrial Park. See Clerk's File 1988-22. City Engineer Rich Hefti advised the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will not renew the permit for the city's diseased tree site located on University of Minnesota property until a fence is installed around the site.

Since the city allows the residents of Apple Valley to use this site, Hefti advised he has been in contact with the City of Apple Valley as a funding source for this project.
