Pausche said four responses to the Request for Qualifications and Interest in a Townhome
Development in the Mound Harbor District were received by the February 12th deadline, noting all were
from highly qualified and accomplished developers. Therefore, Pausche said Staff is not going to go
into the details of the responses but rather asks the HRA and City Council to set the concurrent
meeting on February 27th in order to receive the presentations, conduct interviews, and select which
developer to move forward with on a purchase agreement. Pausche said Staff recommends three of
the four developers be invited back, noting the fourth developer specializes in high-density senior
cooperatives, which is not being contemplated for this area. Pausche noted Staff will continue to work
with this developer on identifying more suitable sites in Mound for their product.
MOTION by Wegscheid, seconded by Gillispie, to set a concurrent meeting with the City Council on
Tuesday, February 27, 2018 beginning at 6:30 pm and directing Staff to invite SVK Development,
Homestead Partners, and NHH Properties to present their concept plans for a townhome development
in the Mound Harbor District and stand for interviews. All voted in favor. Motion carried.
