. Discussion of New Proiect - 3884-94 Parfet Street (duplex)
David Firman explained that the water district and sanitation district require
separate water taps for each unit if they are sold individually. This would make
the project cost prohibitive. He suggested two alternatives. One would be to
form a two.nnit condominium with a homeowners association. The other
alternative would be aground lease situation where the units would be leased for
long.term but the Housing Authority would own the ground.

There was discussion about possible liability issues connected with a ground
lease. David Firman explained the issues involved with each of the alternatives.
Betty Maybin stated that there were no problems with leasing nnits in a ground-
lease situation in another project in northeast Denver.
Alan White suggested that the Authority choose an alternative where city staff
won't be responsible for collecting on leases, paying taxes, etc.
David Firman stated that another alternative to alleviate the water tap situation
would be to form a cooperative. However, he believed a ground lease would be
the best alternative ofthe three.
There was consensus Of the Authority to contact the two sanitation districts
to learn their response to the mayor's letter and to have the city attorney
review the alternatives.
