HRA Minutes -August 26, 2008
6. Introduction of Hartford Group by Mound Harbor Renaissance with
presentation of concept plan for Auditors Road District
Dave Newman of Mound Harbor Renaissance provided a downtown redevelopment
update and introduced members of the Hartford Group who followed with a presentation
of a concept plan for the Auditors Road District. This plan consists of a combination of
retain, quasi-retail and senior community housing.
After discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that they have no problem with the
senior housing concept but would prefer more retail along Auditors Road. Bruce
Chamberlain gave his opinion of how the presented plan complies and differs from the
original Mound Visions plan.
There was no action taken on this item and the Hartford Group will take the Board's
suggestions into consideration when revising this concept plan.
7. Adjourn
MOTION by Specht, seconded by Skinner to adjourn at 7:38 p.m. All voted in favor.
Motion carried.
