GEL PROPERTIES: Annexation request referred by the Laurel
City Council. C/S 2147 displayed and discussed by John Mac -
Martin. This property has already been zoned RMF. Tract 1B is
requested to be annexed. Larry Peterson, City Engineer, and
John MacMartin studied the annexation report. Special
consideration should be given to park dedication, probably
in cash. Also additional right -of -way on 8th Avenue should
be addressed. It shows as a major collector in the Transpor-
tation Plan. No other dedication of 80' row has been done
along 8th Ave. Discussion. Everything else seems to be in
order. This will be elderly housing similar to Meadowlark
and Laurel Gardens. He could rent them for low income housing,
if enough elderly did not apply. This is subsidized rental
property for the next 30 years, with FmHA financing. 1 /9th
park dedication would be approximately $2,000 at $10,000 /acre.
Utilities are privately owned, parking lot is private, entrance
road is private.
Motion from Ken Christian to recommend that this property
be annexed; however, the City should ask for the additional
20' right -of -way and 1 /9th park dedication, seconded by R. M.
Williams. Carried with Bradley, Shay and Christian voting,
"No," because the developer was not present at this meeting.
