REQUEST FROM TOWN OF SUPERIOR TO AMEND US 36 INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT (IGA) Mayor Davidson called for Staff presentation. City Manager Bill Simmons reported the Town of Superior has requested an amendment to the 1997 Superior-Louisville US 36 IGA. The IGA was a mutual commitment to jointly plan the reconstruction of the McCaslin Interchange. It also established US 36 as the logical boundary between Louisville and Superior and resolved land use issues between the two municipalities. One of the provisions of the agreement was that Superior was to share fifty percent of the amount of revenues received from a 2.7% sales tax rate from commercial development in the property. Further, Superior shall not allow residential use on the property except for eight acres for senior housing. Superior is requesting this provision be amended to allow multi-family residential uses as part of a "town center" mixed-use development. Simmons reported the Superior Town Manager, Bruce Williams would discuss the proposed amendment. Superior Town Manager Bruce Williams reviewed the requested amendment. He explained at the time of the IGA there was no intention to develop the property as residential. He explained the Town of Superior plans to develop a mixed-use development, which includes affordable housing units and commercial. COUNCIL COMMENTS Council member Van Pelt asked how much of the acreage would be residential. Williams stated the development is in the preliminary stages and the number of residential units has not be calculated. He stressed the Town of Superior intends to maximize the commercial, and stated housing alone would not be appropriate. 6
