It is the intention of the HRA to subdivide the <br /> property for the construction of three new affordable homes. <br /> Attached is a proposal for subdividing the property. The average cost for this would be <br /> in the $5,500 range. The old structures on the property will have to be removed. It is <br /> planned that they will be burned by the local fire department,but an inspection will be <br /> required,which will cost anywhere from $500- $1,000. This is state requirement for all <br /> fire departments that burn old structures. Additional costs will be removal of the burned <br /> debris with a probable cost of$1,000. <br /> The HRA respectfully requests the city's participation in these costs by one half. That <br /> amount would be $3,750. In addition,we request you consider waiving the water and <br /> sewer fees for the construction of these new homes. Your participation in the HRA's <br /> goal of providing affordable homes in Pequot Lakes is vital to our program. We are <br /> removing older structures and replacing them with new homes for families. This <br /> program provides for a more stable community at the same time increasing the tax base. <br /> Th o for your support! <br /> baron T low <br /> Executive Director <br /> 31203 N.Oak St.P.O.Box 243•Pequot Lakes,MN56472.218-568-4555.218-568-8968(Fax) •pequotlakes.govofice.com <br />
