Chairman Law explained that the purpose of the special meeting
was to provide for an explanation of proposed changes in the L/H/N
tax increment redevelopment plan and for commissioners to study
and discuss the proposed modif ications.
Executive Director Wayne Burggraaff reviewed the progress
made in the project area since the current redevelopment plan was
adopted in November, 1975. Planning and Redevelopment Director
Richard Krier presented the proposed modifications to the plan
and discussed the background material which provided justification
for the changes. The Executive Director and Attorney for the HRA
participated with commissioners in discussing the proposed modifi-
cations.
The proposed modifications included the following:
1. Development of the Lyndale Garden property essentially
by the owner at its current location.
2. Extension of the project boundary by incorporating
four residential properties on Lake Shore Drive.
3. Retention of commerical .properties in the 6600 and
6700 blocks of Lyndale Avenue on the east side of
Lyndale Avenue and provision of multiple family
housing in the remaining area bounded by 66th Street
and Lake Shore Drive.
4. Acquisition of the block bounded by Lyndale Avenue,
66th Street, Graham Avenue and 65th Street for the
purpose of multiple family housing and office re-
development.

explanation on the sale of redevelopment bonds required to accomplish
the proposed plan changes. This information was provided by the
Planning and Redevelopment Director and the Attorney. Mr. Wozniczka
also requested traffic information as it relates to 68th Street.
This information was not available at the .meeting, but the
Planning and Redevelopment Director agreed to obtain it.
After additional discussion it was moved by Jacobsen,
seconded by Ludeman to refer the proposed redevelopment plan
modif ications to the planning commission for an opinion.

property. Other commission members expressed the same concern and
agreed that no decision would be made on this matter until there was
opportunity for further review and consideration.
