City Manager <br />October 30, 2009 <br />Page 2 <br />Given all of the above, it could realistically take 12-16 months before the homes are actually <br />relocated. <br />Staff is still recommending that we proceed with demolition of all the properties. None of them <br />are historic, they continue to be a maintenance/security challenge, and their deteriorating <br />condition is unfavorable for the neighborhood. The Preservation Society has been afforded the <br />opportunity to salvage from these homes, and we have even offered to hire a contractor to assist <br />them in this regard. The Agency's plans to develop these sites with new housing has long been <br />known to the Society and others. The timeline to move forward with firm development plans is <br />critical given the tax credit application periods for 2010, and the Related/Griffin team is <br />deserving of the certainty of actions on the part of the Agency if they are to continue to invest <br />time and money in this process. <br />We are available to answer any questions the Agency may have in advance of the November 2 <br />meeting. <br />e <br />'~ <br />"~ %~~l <br />Cynthia J.
