Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay. MN 55323-0066 <br />Jim Ford <br />Hennepin County Office of Planning and Development <br />10709 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 260 <br />Minnetonka, MN 5535 <br />Dear Mr. Ford: <br />Attached is the application for the Hennepin County CDBG Consolidated Pool Request for <br />Funding. The City of Orono has identified the Navarre area as having a substantial portion of the <br />City's affordable housing stock. Many homes in this area are in need of varying degrees of repair <br />as identified in a two-part sur\'ey conducted in July, 1997. The mail-out portion identified a <br />prevalence of substandard housing by residents of the area and a desire for gram money to conduct <br />necessary repairs. Staff conducted a visual survey to identify specific deficiencies of housing in the <br />area, which further revealed the need for rehabilitation. <br />As many residents in the area cannot afford repairs to their homes without assistance, CDBG <br />grant funding is necessary to rehabilitate and preserve this significant element in Orono’s affordable <br />housing stock. <br />Following this letter you will find the completed grant application and resolution of the City <br />Council authorizing the application at the March 9, 1998 meeting. <br />Sincerely, <br />Brad Bressler <br />Planning Assistant <br />Enclosure <br />Tekphonc (612) 473-7357 • FAX 473-0510 <br />'.V
