CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THE APRIL 7, 1993 HRA MINUTES.

3.
CONSIDERATION OF AN UPDATE ON THE MONTICELLO SENIOR HOUSING
PROJECT.
Administrator Schwientek reported that the 1993 Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) senior housing funding allocation for
Minnesota-Metro is for 83-units with a minimum of 40 units.
This prohibits approval of the 23-unit Zimmerman application
as was planned for submission by Carol Mills of Guardian
Angels.
HUD application deadline is July 8, 1993, one and one-half
months earlier than anticipated. In order for the hospital
district to submit an application, a 501 (c3) non-profit
organization must be formed prior to July 8 and the
application completed, which is an unrealistic goal.
Barb reported that the house on West Broadway which was within
the boundaries of Brad Larson's proposal, was purchased by a
teacher. The Hospi tal District has purchased the McConnon
property and has an option of the Kasper property. These
properties are to the east of the Monticello Clinic.
At this time, the planned June meeting between the Hospital
District, City Council and the HRA has been delayed.

4. CONSIDERATION TO HEAR PRESENTATION BY PAT MCCULLOUGH: SUMMARY
OF THE COMPLETED SENIOR HOUSING MARKET FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS.
Pat McCollough presented each HRA member with a copy of the
completed Senior Housing study and outlined in detail its
contents. The study indicated the unit demand for subsidized
congregate is 23 units and assisted living is 10 units. The
unit demand for market rate congregate is 31 units and
assisted livng is 14 units. The area studied followed
approximately the Hospital District boundaries with exception
of Becker and Elk River.
Since the 1993 HUD funding allocation for minimum units for
frail elderly projects is 40, the Monticello demand
projections would be "weak".
.
Under the Farmer's Home Administration (FmHA) congregate
program, no size limit is required and the program allows for
building of common/service space and meal program. An
application can combine congregate and assisted living if
approximately one-third of the residents receive services. A
congregate program application requires federal level approval
and local endorsement is important.
Ms. McCollough concluded that a combined demand of congregate
and market rate would probably be buildable in Monticello at
a reasonable rent. The assistance would be through a program
available to residents of the building such as supportive
living, this modeled after a program in Rochester, MN.
Recommendation was that Pat provide the HRA with a list of
potential developers and a summary of the study. Koropchak to
contact developers for interest and a copy of the study
summary, and to provide Brad Larson with a copy of the study.
A partnership could be formed between the hospi tal
district/developer/HRA providing services, management,
development, and land acquisition.
5. CONSIDERATION TO SELL THE DIRT-BERM FROM HRA LOT 5, BLOCK 3,
OAKWOOD INDUSTRIAL PARK.
After a brief discussion, the HRA directed the Executive
Director to notify Mr. Frank Klein of Double "0" Construction
& Excavating. The HRA elected not to sell the dirt but to
reserve the dirt-berm for a future developer and development
of the lot.

Ben Smith bought to the HRA's attention a request from Mr. Jay
Morrell. Was the HRA interested in contacting Ron and Dee
Johnson, owners of Lot 6, Block 3, Oakwood Industrial Park, to
swap Lot 6 for HRA Lot 5? Mr. Morrell would be interested in
purchasing Lot 5 from the HRA. The HRA recommended Koropchak
