Mr. Neuendorf reminded the HRA that the preliminary agreement with Frauenshuh ends September 28 and a
decision was needed by this date.
Mr. Dave Anderson addressed the HRA. Mr. Anderson discussed the process they entered into in December
and gave a brief history of their relationship that started in 2010 that led to the proposed public/private
redevelopment of the site. Regarding the appraisal, Mr. Anderson said he was not taking exception to the price
but to what was appraised. He said there was a distinction to the site that must be taken into consideration, i.e.
140 parking units entirely underground, affordable housing, etc. Mr. Mark Vanneli, Bellweather Enterprise, spoke
to the dynamic related to the property and explained that land value was one of three approaches in determining
value.
