RASMUSSEN, SECONDED BY MR. PRAIRIE, TO APPROVE THE AUG. 13, 1987, HOUSING 6 REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MINUTES AS WRITTEN. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, ACTING CHAIRPERSON MEYER DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 1. TOUR OF LAKE POI14TE SITE: The Commissioners took about one -half hour of meeting time to take a tour of the Lake Pointe site. Those taking the tour were HRA members John Meyer, Duane Prairie, and Walter Rasmussen, along with Gerald Sunde of Sunde Engineering, Jock Robertson, and Dave Newman. 2. CONSIDERATION OF ROAD CLOSING TO NON- CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC AT LAKE POINTE: Mr. Robertson stated the City had received a couple of inquiries from people living on 57th Avenue about traffic on the site in the evening and on weekends. He stated he had checked with Jim Hill, Public Safety Director. Mr. Hill said there was nothing wrong with putting up barricades with "Road Closed" signs during the evening hours and weekends while construction was going on, and the HRA could direct either the Public Works Department or the contractor to put up the signs. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1987 PAGE 2 Mr. Robertson stated the lower road to the south that was not yet finished was designated a "State Aid" road. At such time that the road was completed, as he understood it, that road should be opened to the public. At this time they are only constructing a temporary connection to West Moore Lake Drive, and he questioned whether they could keep that temporary road barricaded. Mr. Prairie stated that ideally it would be nice if they could keep that road closed until there was a development. Mr. Newman stated that from a purely legal standpoint, before the road could be opened, the HRA would have to transfer ownership to the City. The HRA does not own roads. At that time, it would be the City's responsibility as to what to do with the road. MOTION BY MR. RASMUSSEN, SECONDED BY MR. PRAIRIE, TO DIRECT CITY STAFF TO SEE THAT THE ROADS ARE BARRICADED TO NON - CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC AT LAKE POINTE SITE ON WEEKENDS AND EVENINGS AND THAT STAFF LOOK INTO THE MOST REASONABLE COST TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, ACTING CHAIRPERSON MEYER DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 3. CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE ORDER FOR SUNDE ENGINEERING: Mr. Robertson stated the City had received a letter from Gerald Sunde dated Aug. 30, 1987. Also included in the agenda was a copy of the letter of agree- ment dated May 23, 1987, outlining the agreement between Sunde Engineering and the City. He wanted to note in the record that this agreement was approved at that time without review by the City Council. Mr. Sunde stated basically the change order was to allow them about two more months to finish the utilities. In April they came in for a change order for a month, but at that time, they figured they would have the utilities done by September 1. Now it appeared that it would take until the end of October. In his August 30, 1987, letter, he had estimated the cost of the remaining work. Mr. Meyer asked why it was costing Sunde Engineering more money to finish the work. Why did Mr. Sunde need more money to do the engineering aspect of the staking, etc., for the same amount of physical work? Mr. Sunde stated when the job was originally anticipated, they were expecting there would be concurring activities going on - -that there would be utilities going in at the same time as the grading. He thought those both had completion dates of mid -July, so they felt at that time their inspector on the job could act on both the utilities and grading. They have had to cut back the inspector so he is only at the site two hours a day, but now they are going to have to have him back for the utilities as he was not able to do it sequentially with the grading work. That was why it was costing extra now. They had hoped to have a lot of things done at the same time. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1987 PAGE 3 MOTION BY MR. RASMUSSEN, SECONDED BY MR. PRAIRIE, TO APPROVE THE CHANGE ORDER FOR SUNDE ENGINEERING FOR THE AMOUNTS OF $7,170 FOR INSPECTION COSTS, $9,600 FOR STAKING COSTS, AND $2,500 FOR MISCELLANEOUS COSTS AS OUTLINED IN MR. SUNDE'S AUGUST 30, 1987, LETTER. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, ACTING CHAIRPERSON MEYER- DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 4. CONSIDERATION OF LOU LUNDGREN'S LETTER OF CREDIT: Mr. Lundgren stated he would again like to give the HRA a progress report. He stated Miller & Schroeder has the taxable bond issue, but the bond market during the last 30 days has not been doing very well. The interest has gone up. He stated Miller -& Schroeder were still willing to do the deal, but they would require a construction lender or interim lender to carry the project to break -even occupancy. That was a very difficult thing to do. Mr. Lundgren read the following excerpt from a two -day old Wall Street Journal article: "The bond rating agencies are preparing to give the coveted Triple A rating to securities backed by junk bonds." He stated he would give a copy of this article to City Staff for their information. He stated there was $200 -300 billion worth of junk bonds in the market which almost all financial institutions have. This would theoretically make a lot more liquidity in the bond issues and back bond issues. He stated he has talked to Miller & Schroeder about this, and they are wondering about it. Mr. Lundgren stated he has contacted another bonding company and he will be meeting with a representative of that company on Monday, Sept. 14, at 9:00 a.m. They seem very interested and are not interested in a private issue as Miller & Schroeder were, but as a possible public issue. Mr. Lundgren stated he has been discussing the senior housing element with a wholly owned subsidiary of Mellon Bank. They say they would be willing to give a commitment but need an MIA appraisal. He stated that on these two housing projects, he has a feasibility study, and an MIA study is usually needed for any loan at the time of closing. He generally does not want to get the MIA appraisal done too early because the appraisal can become outdated, and these appraisals are quite expensive. This .company sa4d if they had an MIA appraisal, from the numbers given to them for this project, they could give him an application commitment in two weeks. He stated he was going to go through the process of getting an MIA appraisal if the HRA would allow him another month to do so. This would be for the senior housing project only. Mr_ Lundgren stated he has also make contact with-a life insurance company on a conventional loan which was a participation loan. They will give a forward commitment with a clean take -out with some conditions. He will be meeting with this company the following morning to discuss some of these conditions. This company was headquartered in Washington D.C. He can get the commitment for as short as 12 months or as long as 24 months. This company has a $15 million loan limit, and he has discussed all portions of the project. ._ HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1987 PAGE 4 They have more reservations about the senior project. He would try to get the financing on the two phases -- apartment complex and retail. They will want to have a right of first refusal on the office building. Mr. Lundgren stated he was still dealing with the Towle Company in Minneapolis, who has given him three prospects, which should be contacting the City. Mr. Lundgren stated the Rothschild deal was still in place. The only thing required in that was to have a stronger joint venture partner. With a stronger joint venture arrangement, there was still an opportunity through the Golden Company in Denver. Both those were status quo at this time. Mr. Lundgren stated that in talking to people in terms of joint ventures, he had discovered that they all had their own interests, but everyone seemed to want to make the apartments smaller, the buildings a little cheaper, and to cut out different things in the project. He stated as far as he was concerned, he has expressed an interest in any joint ventures where he would have suffi- cient design control and be absolutely certain they would maintain the consistent quality project that he has been discussing with the City and the HRA. (Vice - Chairperson Schnabel arrived at 8:30 p.m.) Mr. Meyer stated that if there was anything the HRA could do to help Mr. Lundgren in dealing with his contacts to make the project more feasible, he would encourage Mr. Lundgren to communicate those things to Staff in specfics so Staff could relay that information to the HRA. Mr. Lundgren stated he appreciated that, and there might be ways the HRA could help in the future, but not at this point. No action was taken on Mr. Lundgren's letter of credit, and the item remained on the table. 5. INFORMATION ON UNIVERSITY AVENUE CORRIDOR PLAN: Mr. Robertson stated Barton - Aschman has taken the survey the Public Works Department furnished and has done a detailed design of curbing locations, median design, paving, exact locations for the bus shelters, sidewalk locations, planter boxes, etc. Mr. Robertson stated when they met with Barton - Aschman last week, it appeared very certain that they will have to move some of the traffic signal posts so these posts do not end up in the middle of the crosswalks or in awkward locations. He stated they have asked Barton - Aschman to prepare a proposal in order to get cost estimates for the final design and actual construction costs. As soon as Staff receives that, they will forward it to the HRA with a recommendation. Mr. Robertson stated they have a meeting set up for September 17.with some people from MnDOT on the native flowers and native grass specifics. Mr.. Barry Warner was concerned that Staff get some kind.of anticipated schedule of how long it would take for these plant materials to become established. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1987 PAGE 5 Ms. Schnabel stated she had been looking at.the painted section of fencing along University Avenue. She stated it looked nice, but she wondered how that black fence was going to stand out against the white snow in the winter- time. Mr. Robertson stated that the fence was painted black to simulate what a vinyl coated fence would look like, Also, as he understood it, a brown .vinyl coated fence was not available and that was why the fence was painted black. He stated that between 57th and 59th Avenues, they have received. approval from MnDOT to replace the fencing entirely. adhere the fencing -cannot be removed, as the exi sting fencing deteriorates, they would have the option of replacing it with vinyl coated fencing. 6. FINANCIAL STATEMENT REPORT: Mr. Pribyl stated he would give the HRA an overview of the significant accounting events that occurred in 1986. He stated that basically, it was an uneventful accounting year, except for the advance refunding necessitated by Miller & Schroeder. He stated total revenues in 1986 were $1,921,129; total expenditures were $3,226,418, showing an excess of expenditures over revenues of $1,305,289. Mr. Pribyl stated they received no comments from the auditors as far as improvements, internal controls or activities that have gone on with the HRA. Mr. Pribyl stated the Staff that works in conjunction with the HRA was currently working on numerous reporting situations that would provide infor- mation as they get more and more into the tax increment area. After the meeting, he would like to show the HRA members some of the things the Staff has done. 7. CLAIMS (1647 - 1658): MOTION BY MR. PRAIRIE, SECONDED BY MR.

Mr. Lundgren feels he making some progress with a new investor previously discussed with the HRA. Mr. Lundgren will be in attendance at the HRA meeting on October 8, 1987 to.update the HRA on his current position. JLR /dm M -87 -198 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: JOCK ROBERTSON 6431 UNIVERSITY AVE. (6 12) 571 -3450 FRIDLEY, MN 55432 EXT. 117 1 2 Page ZWo - EW87 315 Lisa CauGhdl: I drove by Bill Erickson's today. It looks like he fixed the fence. He stood it up and their property is not that bad. The dirt pile is still in the front and the engine is still there, but he had his truck full of junk which means he might be hauling it out. Maybe we are getting somewhere. At the Council meeting on September 14 ,1987, they raised a question about the line-of-sight on the Paw Development sign at 73rd and Commerce Circle East. You may want to work with the new owner of the property and see if they can do some trimming or reshuffling of the landscaping so that there is a better view of oncoming traffic from the west. Be advised that the planning scheme that is there was the City's direction and therefore we should be a little sensitive to what we do and how we do it since we required him to construct it that way. You may want to check the empty lot next to the Trails End Bass Pro Shop on Viron Road. Since the construction, there is a pile of debris on the lot. You may want to contact him to clean his lot or maybe check with Jim and see if there is going to be a constructin project soon. It looks pretty bad. We finally got the pond squared away by Pasch ke on Lot 6. But I noti &sd, a couple of evergreen trees are dead along the landscaping part of the Main, Street. You may want to look at that and determine is there a need to either hold the bond beyond this paint or is there something else you want to look The southern end of the Rapid Oil Site on Highway 65 is a little higher and maybe the consideration ought to be that the property follow the elevation of the service road and then it would go down into the Highway 65 ditch as a means of establishing some sort of grades to require then to follow. JGF /ts Engineering Sewer Water Parks Streets Maintenance MEMORANDUM TO: Pasckhe File PW87 -319 FROM: Mark. L. Burch, Asst. Public Works Director DATE: September 25, 1987 SUBJECT: Mowing Paschke Stormwater Detention Pond on Main Street I discussed with Virg Herrick this morning the need for mowing the stormwater detention pond on Main Street. According to the development agreement between the HRA and Gerry Paschke (Section 4.5 Paragraph (b)), Mr. Paschke is required to maw this pond area. Since it is very important that the grass in the pond be maintained in short condition (2 " -3 ") to promote good drainage and drying, it is necessary to have this pond mowed as soon as possible. I explained to Virg Mr. Paschke's reluctance to. perform maintenance in the past and his statements to me at our meeting at the site that he would not maintain the pond by cutting the grass. Upon ccupletion of our discussion, Virg reccmvended that we have the pond rowed as soon as practicable and deduct the cost of this maintenance from the HRA monies owed Mr. Paschke. We will then discuss with the HRA at their next meeting has they would like this matter handled.

Public Works Director DATE: September 30, 1987 SUBJECT: Agenda Items for HRA Meeting of October 8 Please consider the following items for discussion and action at the HRA meeting on October 8, 1987: 1. Paschke Pend Improvements: We have completed the improvements to the storm water detention pond on Main Street and will be processing payment of $4,200.00 to the contractor for this work. This money should be deducted from the amount being held by the HRA as directed at their last meeting. In addition, to the $4,200.00, there have been engineering costs of $630.00 and maintenance costs for mowing of $150.00. The BRA should consider how future mowing and maintenance expenses will be paid. The development agreement specifies that Paschke Properties is responsible but he has indicated he will not maintain this area. Mowing will be very important to the maintenance of this ponding area. 2. Change Order for Subterranean Engineering: Due to the extended time required to complete the grading portion of the Lake Pointe Development, the soil testing engineers have expended more time than originally contracted in performing compaction testing. A change order to finalize the contract with Subterranean Engineering will be necessary. 3. QW= Order for H At S Ate: Due to delays in completing the grading project, the storm sewer suboDntractor, Crossings, Inc. 8, has additional labor and material costs which will require a change order to H & S Asphalt. 4. Change Order for Enebak Construction Co.: Final quantities for the sand mired to complete Project #163 are now available and are higher than originally estimated. A change order will be required to adjust the contract for the actual quantity of sand borrow.

MEMO FROM: Darrel Clark, Chief Building Official MEMO DATE: October 1, 1987 REGARDING: Shorewood Inn Addition /Remodeling, 6161 Highway #65 N.E. I understand the H.R.A. will be reviewing the status of the Shorewood Inn project with reference to the release of certain funds. The project is substantially complete, however there are some items yet to be corrected or completed before the project can be finaled. If these items are not completed by the time the H.R.A. meeting, I would recommend that we hold payment until all items are complete. If there would be some items that would take longer than just a few days to complete because of materials on back - order, then we could release the monies after they have escrowed monies with the City equalling two times the estimated cost of completion.

Assessor for Anoka County, Minnesota C - 5 PW #323 Engineering Sewer Water Parks Streets Maintenance MEMORANDUM TO: Jock Robertson, Executive Director, HRA FROM: John G. Flora, Public Works Director DATE: October 2, 1987 SUBJECT: SEH Design Contracts 4 Since 1985 the HRA has authorized eight contract agreements with Short, Elliott and Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH), consulting firm for the design and construction inspections of the Moore Lake, Highway #65, Rice Creek Road and Central Avenue road networks. As the various phases of design were being completed, additional requirements were asked of SEH. These included the Fridley corridor intersection standards, highway lighting, parking variances on MSAS and CHAS streets, property acquisition details, land surveys, garage modification specifications, Woodbridge road realignment, public information briefings and alternate intersection designs. I have asked SEH to submit an explanation and identify the additional costs associated with this extra work. I expect a claim to be around $25,200.00.

This scope was based on the items of work known at the time of the commencement of the project. During the course of the design, additional services were provided that are beyond the original scope of our contract. The additional design was prepared based on your direction to expedite the plan completion and meet the project schedule. Due to the accelerated schedule to most Mn /DOT review deadlines, the actual cost of these services was not known until recent cost accounting could be tabulated. The additional services and associated costs for the completed work are are follows: 1. Old GQ'4'J Traffic Study and Preliminary Design Revisions Review and coordination of changes to preliminary design requested by developer 'a traffic engineer. This involved review of traffic generation and distribution forecasts (several times), several meetings with engineer, City and DNR, review of concept drawings, preparation of revised preliminary plan and coordination of proposed changes with Mn /DOT.

This work is necessitated by recent City standard changes and citizen participation. As stated in the letter, the estimated fee for this work is about $8,300. This is an estimate and not a maximum not to exceed figure. When revising the budget for engineering services the City may want to consider rounding this figure to $10,000 to avoid future budget revisions. If no further plan revisions are requested, the fee amount identified in this letter should allow for the completion of the design phase of this project. Sincerely, David J. Pillatzke, P.B. j ms 4G 0 M E M O R A N D U M TO: JOCK ROBERTSON, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HRA COMMISSION MEMBERS FROM: SAMANTHA ORDUNO, MANAGEMENT ASSISTANT SUBJECT: REQUEST FROM BRIAN CRAMPTON FOR WAIVER OF 2ND MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS DATE: SEPTEMBER 10, 1987 Attached is the September 8, 1987 letter from Brian Crampton in which he requests that the HRA again review possible options to his $9,900 mortgage note with the HRA. Mr. Crampton purchased a home at 5849 Third Street in 1982 at which time he also obtained a second mortgage from the HRA. The conditions of the mortgage provided that principal and interest payments would not be required if Mr. Crampton continued to own and reside in the house for a period of 10 years. In the event that Mr. Crampton were to sell or cease living in the house, the HRA would have first right to purchase the house; if the HRA does not wish to purchase the house, the owner may sell; provided, however, the principal and interest on the note is paid in full. In April of 1986, Mr. Crampton first expressed a desire to sell his home and asked the HRA to consider releasing him from the obligations of the second mortgage stating that his family needs has increased beyond those forseen in 1982. David Newman responded to Mr. Crampton's request stating that to "waive the mortgage would constitute the use of public moneys for the limited benefit of certain individuals" and that "such action would be contrary to public policy." Mr. Crampton has expressed gratitude for the HRA program which allowed him to purchase his first home, but is now feeling trapped into a contract term he finds unrealistic in today's housing market. At the time the house was purchased, homes were increasing in value at a faster rate than is true today or the rate projected for the next 5 years. Mr. Crampton also feels that the average stay for first -time buyers is far less than 10 years and to hold a first -time buyer to a 10 year contract is not in keeping with what he feels is the true spirit of a program which was designed to provide opportunities for young families to obtain a "starter home" and build equity which would in turn help them move up into a larger home more suitable to the needs of a more established family. At this point in time, if Mr. Crampton were to sell the house he would lose a considerable amount of money. There has not been time to build up a significant amount of equity and the rate of equity is not forseen to build at any faster rate in the next five years. The lack of equity combined with a repayment of the HRA's $9,900 note prices Mr. Crampton out of the market for a larger home he feels is needed to support the increasing needs of his family. Mr. Crampton is anxious to work with the HRA to come to an equitable solution to his dilemma. One of the options he mentioned was the possibility of allowing him to rent the home for the next five years. He has expressed a willingness to come to the next HRA meeting to present his case and has requested that at the September meeting, the HRA review his request. Brian Crampton 5849 :rd St. NE Fridley, MN 55432 Samantha Orduno City of Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority Dear Samantha, September 8, 1987 As I mentioned to you during our phone conversation today, I am interested in selling my house at 5849 3rd St. We would like to move for several reasons. First, we would like to move to a quieter neighborhood. The back: of our property abuts University Avenue, and we have a great deal of traffic noise. Second we do not have a garage and have found the winters difficult without one, and our lot is too narrow to allow for the addition of a garage. Third we have a growing family and would like additional room. We have a contract with the City of Fridley, HRA, which would cause us to lose money if we were to sell our house and pay the full principle and interest of the HRA note. Under the terms of this note we would have to pay $9,90o plus 8% interest if we rent or sell the house before ten years after our date of closing (June, 1982). Our primary mortgage is a conventional V.A. mortgage. We had a market analysis prepared by Century I.J. According to that analysis we would come out of our home with only about $2800 in equity if we paid nothing on the HRA note. That would not even recover our down payment, closing costs, etc., and would not allow us to recover anything of the close to $40,000 0 that we have made in payments on the property in the last 62 months. Again that is without paying anything on the 69,900 mortgage or the 8% interests for 5 years. My question for the HRA is whether there is some other option open to us besides either staying in our current home for an additional 5 years or paying several thousand dollars in penalties just to be able to move. It is my understanding that the HRA program was intended to develop property and to create opportunities for first time home owners. These objectives have been accomplished. What will be gained by holding us in this property for another 5 years^ We are ready to move on and there are undoubtedly many other families that are ready for a house lire ours. We would like to request that the HRA the 5 year marl:: as opposed to the 10 result in any windfall to us, and it property at the low end of the market starter home for someone else. Very truly, Brian Cram' ton allow us out of our 2nd mortgage at year marl:. This would clearly not would open up another piece of which would make an excellent 5A MORTGAGE NOTE $9,900.00 Fridley, Minnesota O;4 C;. ?L^ ,19E W FOR VALUE RECEIVED, I promise to pay to the order of the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority '(Fridley H.R.A.) at 6431 University Avenue N.E., Fridley, Minnesota, the sum of Tine Thousand Dine Hundred and No Hundredths ($9,900.00) for the following described property: Lot Twenty -seven (27) and the South Half (S') of Lot Twenty- eight (28), Block Twenty -one (21), Hyde Park, Anoka County, Minnesota This second mortgage shall bear interest at the rate of eight percent (8 1/.) per annum on the unpaid balance. No principal and interest payments shall be required provided the buyer shall continue to own and reside in the subject property for a period of ten (10) years from the date of closing. If the buyer determines to sell subject real estate or if the buyer ceases to live in the subject real estate, then the Fridley H.R.A. shall have the first option to purchase said real estate at its then appraised value, less the accumulated principal and interest due on the second mortgage. It is agreed that the buyer will notify the Fridley H.R.A. if he ceases to live in said property or if he desires to sell the property within said 10 -year period. In that event, the parties shall agree on a real estate appraiser to make an appraisal of the subject property. If the parties cannot agree on an appraiser, they shall request the senior judge of the Anoka County Municipal Court to select an appraiser. Both parties agree to be bound by said appraisal. The Fridley H.R.A. shall have sixty (60) days following the receipt of the above-appraisal to determine whether it wishes to exercise its option to purchase said real estate. If the Fridley H.R.A. determines not to exercise said option, the buyer may sell the real estate to any third party; provided, however, that at such time, the principal and interest due on the second mortgage shall be paid in full. 5C In the event that the buyer shall continue to own and reside in the subject property for a period of ten (10) years, then the princi- pal and accumulated interest on said second mortgage shall be con- sidered satisfied and the Fridley H.R.A. shall furnish and file a Satisfaction of Mortgage. The makers herein further agree that in the event of any default in the terms of-this Mortgage Dote, to pay all costs of collect- ion and reasonable attorneys fees; and do hereby agree that in the case of default in payment of the principal and /or interest, the entire sum then remaining unpaid shall become due; that demand for payment, presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest are hereby waived; and that the time of payment may be extended without notice, but that the same shall not constitute waiver of any of the terms hereon. t C*, ,% ti l LC� ► r. 1 L r� Brian J.

Fridley, Minnesota 55432 Jim Robinson City Of Fridley 6431 University N.E. Fridley, Mn. 55432 Dear Mr. Robinson, As we discussed a couple weeks ago, I own a home in Fridley that has a conventional VA mortgage on it as well as a $10,000 note with the City of Fridley. We would like to move for several reasons including the following: 1. We want to invite my sister and her husband (Renee and Dave Carter) from Anchorage to come and live with US. Dave had brain surgery last year and has not fully recovered and is confined to a wheel chair and a split level house such as ours would be difficult or impossible for him. 2. We would like to locate closer to either our jobs-, or law school or church, to cut down on travel time, etc. 3. We would liKe to re- locate in a quieter neighborhood; our backyard fronts Unversity Avenue and the traffic noise is loud and continuous. 4. We are also considering adopting an additional child or children and we will need more room. I have attached a market evaluation recently done by Century 21. It shows that even if the City of Fridley were to rescind completely the 610,000 note we would come out with 62800 of equity (less than our down payment when we bought) from the approximately $309000 that we have paid out in principal, interest, taxes and insurance in the last four years. We are requesting that the City of Fridley release us from the 6101000 note now instead of 6 years from now so that we can sell it and move. It is very likely that it will be sold to a buyer who is in a better position to improve the property (e.g. with a garage, etc.). Regardless of what decision you make, I want to thank the City of Fridley for helping us to get into our first house. We left the Air Force in 1980 and carne back to Minnesota with little more than the shirts on our backs. This program helped us to get into a house and it helped the community by adding a new single family residence. We took advantage of the program and added to it our own hard work, and we havenow more than doubled our income in the past four years. would like to move and ask only that we be able to do so without taking a greater loss on the property than what we have already paid in on it. rian abs ma ie am 5K &"-YiU4-r 21 FAIRFAX 8711 Bass Lake Road Minneapolis.

P.A. ATTORNIEYS AT LAW May 6, 1986 Myra Gibson Planning Division City of Fridley 6431 University Avenue, N.E. Fridley, MN 55432 RE: Brian and Rosemarie Crampton Dear Ms. Gibson: arm UNIVERSITY AVENUE N E FRtOLEY. MINNESOTA 55432 571 -3850 Pursuant to your request I have reviewed a letter of April 4, 1986 from Brian and Rosemarie Crampton. My interpretation of the letter is that they are asking the City to release its second mortgage against the subject property. It would be my recommendation that the HRA deny the request. You will note that in reviewing the mortgage, the HRA has the first option to acquire the property if the buyers sell the property within ten years of the date of closing. However, what the Cramptons are asking is not merely that the HRA waive its option of first purchase, but that it release the second mortgage. The mortgage note does not make any provision for such action. Generally, the holder of a mortgage always has the right to waive its mortgage if it so desires. However, in this instance, public funds were used for the purpose of providing the second mortgage. Consequently, to now waive the mortgage would constitute the use of public moneys for the limited benefit of certain individuals. Such action would be contrary to public policy. A second reason for my recommendation that this request be denied is due to the precedent that it could set. Admittedly, by agreeing to the request you would probably not be legally binding yourself to accept similar future requests, however, since there are several of these mortgages outstanding, the 'HRA would always be setting a political precedent if it were to accept this request. An additional concern of mine is any limitation which may have been imposed by the source of this grant money. It is my understanding that the money for this and other mortgages was made available through a Federal program. It is very possible that the Federal program included certain conditions as to how the money could be used. I have not seen any documents pertaining to this program. If the HRA were to decide that it wanted to agree to the Crampton's request, then before communicating such a response to them, the Myra Gibson May 6, 1986 Page Two documents pertaining to the funding source should be located and reviewed to make sure that accepting this request would not violate the terms of the funding. If I could be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

We now anticipate getting them on Monday afternoon, October 5, 1987 and distributing them to the Commission by mail. As we noted informally at the September meeting, a request for change order from Park Construction between $5,606 was anticipated.

These estimates have now been received and approved by staff. They are for the same type of project that you reviewed informally several months ago. Specifically I want to call your attention to item II, the proposed bi- level, 96 stall parking ramp. The estimated rate of $7,826 per stall is consistent with independent estimates for parking facilities of this type. This ramp would be the latest in a series of proposals for parking ramps that began in 1985. Staff reco=ends that the HRA finance the ramp project as part of the overall expansion and remodeling program. JLP/dm 11 - -87 -199 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: JOCK ROBERTSON 6431 UNIVERSITY AVE.

Fridley, MN 55432 Re: University Avenue Improvements Dear Jock: 612 - 332 -0421 Mus letter provides a concise summary of Barton Ascinman's work to date and our future study direction based upon our meeting with Fridley staff on September 2, 1987. Ocepleted Tasks Since project initiation, Barton -Asd- man has completed field work and base map preparation identifying surface features and existing conditions. This information was used to revise initial design concepts contained within the previously prepared master plan. Concept revisions were then graphically portrayed for intersectiani improvements and corridor landscaping. In addition, Barton- Ascimian completed its analysis of factors influencing the University Avenue median treatment and a wide array of design alternatives for both urban and rural sections. These alternatives were presented to the HM and summarized by memorandum. staff Review On Wednesday, September 2, Barton- Aschman met with Fridley staff to review and comment on work completed to date. The revised concepts were well received by staff and the following constructive gents were ackrx wledged. 1. Sidewalk location abutting both 57th and 61st intersections will be revised in accordance with staff comments. 2. Specific crosswalk locations should be illustrated on the sketch plans in accordance with Fridley's design standards. 3. The City of Fridley desires to improve traffic signals and street lighting at each of the four intersections including 57th, 61st, 73rd and Osborne. OO : Barton- Aschman Associates, Inc. Mr. Jock Robertson September 3, 1987 Page 2 4. Additional comments were rioted regarding corridor landscaping and the city's role in providing boulevard trees and coniferous plantings for screenina. Plan Revisions Barton- Asczan will revise the opts completed to date crnarmensurate with staff ocaments. This information will be presented to the Fridley BRA at its October 8 meeting. Design revisions should illustrate and provide cost estimates for: 1. Hard surface treatment at intersections including brick, curb and medians 2. Intersection corridor landscaping 3. Transit patron facilities 4. Intersection lighting 5. Traffic signal and signing imp 6. Crosswalk delineation 7. Median treatment S. Frontage road lighting Budget Status and Consultant Soope of Services Barton- Asctrman's existing contract relates to the preparation of plans and specifications for intersection hard surface treatment, landscaping and other corridor landscaping within the two prescribed Phase 1 areas. As of this date, approximately 45 percent of the design budget has been expended excluding funds allocated for construction observation. Di scu with staff indicated that other intersection improvements including traffic signals, crosswalk lighting and frontage road lighting should be ccompleted within one construction package. Wile these additional design elements are not a part of our contract, we feel that contract revisions at this time would be premature pending the HPA approval of the project in full.. As a result, we reocum9nd that Barton- Asctman provide the prescribed illustrative concepts and cost estimates for the October 8 EPA meeting and revise the consultant scope of services pending the HPA's approval. We believe that Fridley's present course of action is appropriate in that the intersection improvements are interrelated and should be conducted under MOD MO Barton- Aschman Associates, Inc.
