The suggestion was based on the idea that the City would use the Nafstad property to expand Bassett Creek Park and the Suburban Motel site could be developed by Nafstad with senior housing. Mr. Benson noted that there may have been some asphalt dumped on the Nafstad property that may have to be removed if the site is ever developed. Mr. Benson would like the City to assist with the costs associated with any asphalt/debris removal. Commissioner Krueger is concerned about any liability for the City if the City were to acquire the Nafstad property. Commissioner Hoffmann suggested that the Suburban Motel site should be redeveloped in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan designation and the County Road 81 study as it is a high traffic area and should not be residential. Mr. Benson noted that Nafstad could still do senior housing on the Nafstad property if tax increment funds were available to assist with clean-up costs. The EDA asked Mr. Benson to put together a proposal for senior housing for the Nafstad property for a future EDA meeting. The EDA requested that the proposal include a market study and specific cost estimates for the project.
