E.Action Items
1.Continuing from 1/20/11: Request for waiver from Workforce Housing
requirements by Meadow Creek
Dave Skelton introduced Chris Budeksi representing Meadow Creek. Chris stated that
the developer is offering to donate Lot 11 in Phase 1. This lot will result in two units,
and second set of services will be installed by the developer. The City will facilitate
the donation to a non-profit for the development of WFH. Chris asked how the board
felt about this proposal.
Kris stated that she did not feel ready to vote on anything yet. Dave stated that a letter
from the CAHAB is needed by early next week regarding approval of an
individualized plan.
Mary made a motion to accept the proposal for the donation of Lot 11 in Phase 1,
with services provided for 2 units. The donation will be facilitated by the City to a
non-profit for the development of workforce housing. Jan provided a second.
Kris wanted to know the pros and cons of the decision. Mary said that we were
receiving 2 lots for building and the donation would allow a non-profit to provide
housing to people at lower income levels. Jan added that this avoids a full waiver, or
the receipt of 8 deed restricted lots. Kris asked again why it was necessary to decide
today, and asked what was desirable about this offer.
The vote was held with 4 voting 4 (Mary, Jan, Dave and Brian), 0 against, and 1
abstention (Kris).
2.Continuing from 1/20/11: Approval of recommendations for Workforce Housing
amendment process
Tracy reviewed the recommendations and process for making recommendations to
the commission. Dave and Mary provided comments on the structure of the
recommendations and requested a more outlined structure. Tim provided comments
on the options and how the process could be presented to the commission.
Jan moved that Tracy make the necessary structural changes and provide the
information to Carson, working with Tim on the process. Dave seconded the motion,
which passed unanimously.
F.FYI/Discussion
Kris requested that we put the review of the International Property Maintenance Code on
the March agenda. Tracy will work with Tim and the building department to provide this
information to the board at the March meeting.
Tracy briefly discussed MT HB354 and NSP3 funding.
