Planning & Development Director, stated this is a letter that confirms the style
of homes that will be constructed. Mr. Anderson stated that it was provided by
Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity to show the style and the footprint of the
homes that they will be building on the site. Mr. Anderson stated that this is
just additional information for the council. Mr. Anderson stated that they do
meet the sale of property policy and are buying it for the assessed value. Mr.
Anderson stated that the reasoning is that they usually work to find an actual
buyer/homeowner to be in the house before they build them so they are not built
on spec. Mr. Anderson stated that is why they wanted to buy them for the
assessed value so they were not tied into the two-year development agreement
timeframe. Mr. Anderson stated that they wanted to show good faith and show
that they are planning to put a nice house on the lot. Councilperson Reggie
Schmitt stated that he was unclear as to how many homes were to be built. Mr.
Anderson stated that they are proposing to build one house on the two lots.
