Re Urban Revitalization
Dear Folks,
JEMFOUR NINE, Inc. would appreciate it if its condominium project at the Northwest
corner of Sunset and Beach could be included in an Urban Revitalization Zone.
Under current zoning our project would require 55 parking spaces. It is designed for 50
underground spaces and up to an additional 18 above ground spaces.
This plan has been approved by The City of Ames.
As we stated in our letter of March 31, the prospect of an Urban Revitalization Zone
designation was a big factor in designing the project for underground parking. This was
so even though the underground parking substantially increased the cost in excess of any
tax abatement savings.
The Council took action 2 weeks ago. Our plans seem to be consistent with your action.
The urgency, as we see it, is because we probably would lose our eligibility if
construction is started before the Revitalization is finalized.
We believe, we have a proposal which will be an asset to Ames. We hope it is worthy of
your support.
Vey truly yours,
Milt Seiser
