ENCLOSURES:
It is recommended that the City
Commission approve

development of
sales townhomes
within the
affordability limits
of low and
moderate income families;
further
directing the City
Manager to
prepare and publish
a request for

development.
In April of 1986, the City Commission rescinded its earlier award of
the 8.5 acre Melrose Nursery site to the development team composed of
Related Housing, Thacker Construction, Inc., Marbuilt, Inc. and
Consort, Ltd. as a result of the team's nonperformance in developing
affordable rental housing on the site in accordance with its
proposal. The City Commission directed the administration to explore
alternative methods for securing development of affordable rerntal
housing on the site.
