Navarre Redevelopment Meno Dated 3/24/87 <br />B. John Shardlow Letter Dated 6/3/88 •' <br />C. Community Development and Redevelopment Memo <br />Dated 1/3/86 <br />D. Council Minutes Excerpt 3/30/87 <br />E. Administrator's Information 3/2/87 <br />F. Zoning Map - Navarre Area <br />ISSUE - <br />1. Determination as to whether the Council wants to undertake a master <br />planning process as a first step in potential Navarre redevelopment. <br />INTRODUCTION - The City of Orono in its strategic planning proce-s for the <br />past three years has identified potential Navarre redevelopment as an <br />is-ue. The City has tried to generate interest with the property owners <br />and/or tenents over this period, however, this has not been successful. <br />The Task Force discussed last year was not undertaken. <br />DISCUSSION - It now a; pears the first appropriate steps for the process <br />include the following: <br />A. Development of a master zoning plan for County Road 15 between <br />County Road 19 and the Spring Park border. <br />B. Incorporating either Housing Redevelopment Authority or Economic <br />Development Authority for Orono to undertake possible redevelopment. <br />C. Establishment of a Tax Increment District to undertake the <br />financing mechanism for such a redevelopment. <br />As noted in Attachment B, the necessary master planning concept would not <br />be dissimilar to what was done in the Highway 12 corridor study. This <br />would allow -he City to frame a master plan for the area which currently <br />has a myriad of overlapping uses, as noted in Attachment C, with an attempt <br />to integrate some of the uses along the corridor. <br />The cost for Phase I as proposed is $12,000-15,000. This would be <br />comparable in scope to the initial phase on Highway 12. <br />The City did set aside approximately $20,000 first in the 1987 and then in <br />the 1988 budget for undertaking this study. It is anticipated that some of <br />this money may be ahle to t)e recouled should the City form a Tax Increment <br />District. <br />
