MM= by Mr. Prairie, seconded by Mr. Meyer, to approve the Nov. 12, 1987, Housing & Redevelopment Authority minutes as written. UPON A VOICE VOM, ALL Var= AYE, CHAIIt MON COMMERS DECLARED THE MOTION CNRRIED UNANI DUSLY. Mr. Lundgren stated the following day he would be meeting with the Carnegie Evans group in Greenwich, Connecticut, on this project. 7hey will be voting on the amount of the commitment that the Carnegie Evans group is going to take. Mr. Lundgren stated he had a tentative arrangement with the contractor, J. L. 7hanpson, whose net worth was $60 million and whose largest job has been about the same amount. Mr. 7hanpson has been in business for 30 years. He is going to put up letters of credit for the difference between what the commitment is and the amount of money needed, so they will have 100% financing. The arrangements are being made for Phase I and Phase II. He stated he expected to hear late Friday afternoon on the exact amount of the oonimitment. The actual application commitment would probably not be available until the following Wednesday or 1hursday. Mr. Lundgren stated he was still working, hopefully and optimistically, on closing yet this year. He realized that was slightly more than two weeks array. Whether they would be able to do that or not remained to be seen. The people they are dealing with are used to making decisions quickly. Mr. Lundgren stated he believed the construction loan would also come from the sane group backed by the commitment and the letters of credit for the difference. Mr. Lundgren stated he had given this information to Mr. Robertson that morning, and he would keep Mr. Robertson informed of any further developments. Mr. Commers asked Staff what the expiration date was on Mr. Lundgren's letter of credit. Mr. Newman stated Mr. Lundgren's letter of credit expired on Feb. 1, 1988. Mr. Lundgren stated there was another alternate commitment he was supposed to hear from next week, but it was not a commitment with a contract and with the equity; it was a cam, itment only for the mortgage. Hearing no motions, Chairperson Coamers declared the item remained on the table for further consideration. Ole �. • •• M ; �• •� • ; • •� . F NEVA Y Do M to V M • Mr. Comers stated this project was tentatively approved in the past. He stated it was his understanding it was still contingent upon the City Manager making the determination of the proper location for the satellite fire station. Mr. Prairie asked if this would affect any other property owned by the HRA in this area, because a duple of times in the past, they had people interested in development in that area. Would this make future development not feasible? Mr. Robertson stated the City does own property south of this property on Rice Creek Road. 7he property in question was a piece the HRA considered a year ago as part of the townhouse proposal by Mr. Mochinski. At that time, the rezoning was turned down by the City Council for a residential project in that area. Mr. Newman stated the neighborhood has been totally opposed to a rezoning for any residential in this area. The neighborhood would prefer to keep it commercial zoning. Ms. Schnabel asked if there should be a public hearing for the type of th ing. Mr. Newman stated it was not a legal requirement. As long as the construction of the satellite fire station was consistent with the zoning, a public hearing was not required. Ms. Schnabel stated that, as she remembered, there were a lot of soil problems in this area. Mr. Robertson stated that, undoubtedly, there would have to be some soil correction. Mr. Comers stated he would presume that this property would be used for the satellite fire station. If the property was not going to be used that way, then this action would be null and void. Mr. Newman asked the HRA if they would want the deed to restrict the use of the property. Mr. Comers stated he did not think they should do that, but if the City should decide not to use the property for a satellite fire station, then the HRA should have control of the property again. He was concerned, because the HRA does own land there; and if the City doesn't use the property for a f ire station, then the land should not be used f or anythinq else and the HRA should aet the cronerty back. Mr. Newman stated the HRA coul d approve the resol uti on but di rect. S taf f not to deliver the deed until the City is actually ready to proceed with the construction of the fire station. by Mr. Meyer, seconded by Ms. Schnabel, to approve Resolution No. BRA 9 -1987, A Resolution (1) Authorizing Construction of a Satellite Fire Station; (2) Requesting Transfer of Property from the Fridley HRA; and (3) Retain Professional Services to Prepare Plans and Specifications for the Fire Station. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE NOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Newman stated it was his understanding that Mr. Duane Prairie would not be participating in this discussion. Mr. Prairie stated that was correct. Mr. Robertson called the Commission's attention to a letter addressed to Mr. Paschke from Jim Robinson dated Nov. 3,19870, a response from Mr. Paschke to Jim Robinson dated Dec. 81, 1987, along with a soil report and two estimates on soil correction. Mr. Robertson stated that in his letter, Mr. Paschke was responding to some of the code questions raised by Staff. This was regarding an offioe /warehouse development on the* corner of Main St. and 79th Ave. It was originally thought to be a 40,000 sq. ft. building, but it has now been downsized to 34,000 sq. ft. with 80 parking stalls. It will require some parking easements and some easements on the drainage pond property directly to the north as shown on page bb of the HRA agenda. Mr. Robertson stated Mr. Paschke has agreed to most of the code questons raised in the letter from W. Robinson. There was one outstanding issue, and that was item (e), a proposed layout for overhead doors facing 79th Ave. Staff asked Mr. Paschke to incorporate the doors on the northeast side, and Mr. Paschke stated he could not, but recognizewd that the doors have to be thoroughly screened f ram the right --of- way on 79th. Mr. Paschke stated he would listen to any suggestions Staff had on screening. He did not know how a 12 x 12 door could be screened. He stated this was K-2 zoning, and it was common throughout this entire area that every building has at least a 12 x 12 door facing 79th Ave. He failed to understand the problem with a 12 x 12 door on that side. Ms. Schnabel asked Staff why the HRA was involved in this kind of discussion concerning code. Wasn't this something that should go to the Appeals Commission or Planning Commission? Mr. Robertson stated that in the past the HRA has considered consistency of projects where the quality was above the average -type quality. The quality question was involved here, both in the landscaping, screening, and the type of material for the building itself. He stated Mr. Paschke was proposing to come to the HRA with a request for assistance with the project, and in the past the appearance of the project has been one of the first criteria considered by the HRA. W. Robertson stated he thought the issue here was whether this was going to be an above average project or just a project that simply meets the minimum of the code. Mr. Commers asked the cost of the project. Mr. Paschke stated the project would be around $1 million. ' Mr. Commers asked how much assistance Mr. Paschke was requesting. Mr. Paschke stated he did not know at this time and was looking to the ERA for that:. He stated the land cost was $165,000. That price was firm and not negotiable. Then he had to add the cost of soil correction. Mr. Commers asked what the lot size was. Mr. Paschke stated he believed the lot size was around 2.4 -2.5 acres, but the owner of the property was not basing the price on the usable land. It was based on other than that; but, again, the price was not negotiable. Mr. Meyer stated it bothered him that in the arrival at an agreed -upon price between a buyer and seller, samewhere along the line, the condition of the land was not taken into account. In this day and age, it seemed as though everyone knew that when there is land with poor soil, the price would have to be dropped in order to make it attractive on the market. Mr. Paschke stated he had no objection to what the owner of the property thought the land was worth. The owner was not actively trying to sell the property, but he was actively trying to buy it. Mr. Commers stated what he heard Mr. Paschke saying was that it might not be feasible to construct a $1 million building on that property with the soil correction that was necessary unless the ERA gives him some assistance. Mr. Paschke stated that was absolutely correct. The land cost under the building was excessive without BRA assistance. It was his understanding that the reason the tax increment district was created in this area at time time was because soave of the land was going to need correction and some of it was going to be overly expensive to deal with. So, on an overall basis, they were not going to look at one particular piece of property and say it was too expensive to correct and should be left with nothing built on it. If they said that, then it completely defeated the purpose of the tax increment, and it was not fair for the increment to be there. He stated he has created a tax base in this area now of millions of doll ar s. Mr. Commers stated all the BRA was saying was that the owner of the property probably should carry a little bit of the burden also. Mr. Paschke stated the owner of the property was not willing to do that. The owner of the property has other uses for the ground, so the property was worth 5165000 to him. Mr. Paschke stated that he was a willing buyer if he could feasibly work out a project. He stated he -has picked over all the ground in that area now that he could build on with very little assistance from the HRA, compared to the taxes that have been brought in. Ms. Schnabel asked if the ground under the other existing buildings that are out there now had the same poor soil conditions as this particular piece of property, or did this property have different soil conditions? Mr. Paschke stated three of the buildings had the same poor soil conditions. He asked for assistance on those three buildings. He received $10,000 for each of two buildings and was supposed to receive $40#000 for the third building— $301,000 was funded to him but there are still some arguments over the other $10,000 which he has never received. So, for millions of dollars in tax base, he has received only $50,000 in assistance. M. Schnabel asked how much the soil correction costs were for one site or all three sites. Mr. Paschke stated he could not give Ms. Schnabel those figures. Me HRA had the bids at the time for the properties the HRA assisted with. There are some pieces of ground that are uncorrectable, and they did not attempt to correct those areas. on one piece, they created a pond. Mr. Commers stated that in the past, the City has tried to set a percentage for the amount of assistance in relation to the overall value of a project. Did Staff recall what that percentage was? Mr. Robertson staffed he believed that second mortgages were 10-15%.BOM Ms. Schnabel asked what Staff's recommendation was regarding this proj ect. Mr. Robertson stated that with all due respect to Mr. Paschke, he felt they do have a consistency problem between the quality of construction the HRA has assisted with in the past and the quality of construction being proposed by Mr. Paschke. Mr. Paschke asked if staff was saying that in order to get assistance, a developer has to build superior standards over the building codes? If that was the situation, then there was something wrong with the building codes. He did not think that was a fair statement. 'This was M-2 zoning, Fridley's heaviest zoning. He has put up 70 buildings in Fridley in 20 years, and he has been successful with his projects. What he was proposing for his building was very nice looking. He showed the Commissioners some pictures of the type of facade he was proposing for the building. Architecturally, it meets or exceeds any of the standards set by the City of Fridley, either now or in the past. He did not think brick construction was a qualifying factor in the City of Fridley, nor he did not think it ever had been. Mr. Paschke shaved the HRA the building plans. Mr. Commers stated there were some things here that were real premature --in terms of the HRA determining what to do. Mr. Paschke stated that before he goes ahead and spends a lot more money, he needed to have some indication from the HRA that they would'be willing to give him some assistance. If it was not feasible, he wanted to know that. Mr. Comers stated it was hard for the HRA to make that determination at this time. It was something Mr. Paschke would have to work out with Staff and then Staff dhould came back with some kind of recommendation and the basis for that recommendation. Mr. Meyer stated that if the HRA's guideline is to contribute 10% to the cost of the soil correction, would that be enough assistance? Mr. Paschke stated that was what he needed to know. If everything is agreeable to both the City and himself, he would like to know what the maximum was that the HRA would contribute. Ms. Schnabel stated she felt they should get a collar figure and get that settled ahead of time so they do not run into some of the same problems they have had with the Lake Pointe Project. She was not opposed to providing some type of assistance to Mr. Paschke, but she would like to see the finalized plans and have some figures generated. Mr. Paschke stated he would get .together with Staff and come up with something reasonable. Mr. Openers stated the HRA was willing to try to participate in some meaningful mariner, but since this was the first time they had heard about this project, it was difficult to put a collar amount on the assistance at this time. He would recomend Mr. Paschke work with Staff between now and the January meeting, and then Staff can give the HRA an update at the next meeting. 4. CONSIDERATION OF CRAMP= RmMT TO FORGIVE ALL OR PART OF SECOND : Mr. Robertson stated that at the October meeting, the BRA had asked Staff to give the HRA some background information on this. No action was required at this meeting. the HRA could consider staying with the HRA's policy as indicated in W. Newman's letter dated May 6, 1986, or they could change the policy. Mr. Comers stated that Mr. Robertson had indicated in his memo to the HRA dated Dec. 4, 1987, that there were still seven homes with outstanding mortgages. He felt there were more than seven hones left. He thought they had had between 10 -15 hones at one point under this program. Mhat has happened to the other homes he did not know, but he knew they have not made any other concessions. Ms. Schnabel stated that of the hones that might have been sold, could they have been sold before the ten year period was up? Mr. Newman stated the only way they could find out would be by checking the County records. He supposed a home could have been sold without the City knowing it. Ms. Schnabel stated that over the 10 year period of time, what happens if a house was "trashed" so the value goes way dawn? Does the HRA have any control over that kind of thing? Mr. Newman stated, no, the HRA would have no control over that. MOTION by Mr. Meyer, seconded by Mr. Prairie, to reaffirm the policy made by the HRA with respect to the Large Family Home Assistance Program. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTnG AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE NOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 5. TNFORNsnMON ON POTENTIAL REmVERY OF CHME ORDER COSTS FOR LAKE POINTE CORPORATE CENTER: Mr. Commers stated that in the HRA agenda was a letter to the HRA f roan Jock Robertson regarding this item. W. Cimmers stated the issue was whether a claim should be made against Subterranean at this time for what might be considered negligence on their part in their initial reports and the initial way they did the job. Mr. Meyer stated he was satisfied with the explanations on the part of the various people from Sunde Engineering on whether they have kept things separate, and even Subterranean' s, except for this last point. 1 here seemed to be a lot of other things involved besides Subterranean's testimony. Mr. Prairie stated Subterranean might have done an unsatisfactory job, but he would hesitate their pursuing this with a lawsuit. He did not think that was a meaningful way to solve a lot of things. The best solution might be just not to use the services of Subterranean anymore. Mr. Meyer stated he would agree with that. Ms. Schnabel stated the fact that there already has been an arbitration board involved has a tremendous impact on what the HRA's chances would be in a lawsuit. Mr. Comers asked if Staff had approached Subterranean regarding these mistakes and asked whether Subterranean could accommodate the HRA in some manner. Mr. Robertson stated they had not. Mr. Prairie stated that might be a good thing to do. Mr. Meyer stated that as he had stated at the last meeting, he was concerned that both Sunde Engineering and Subterranean Engineering are submitting a lot of invoices, and to what extent are these invoices reflecting the fact that they had to backtrack and spend time repairing damage of their erroneous reports? Are they billing the HRA just "willy- nilly" for everything? He hoped they were not. Maybe this questions should be asked of Subterranean. Mr. Comers stated Staff should discuss everything with Subterranean openly and directly, tell them what information the HRA has received, the questions that have been raised by the HRA about the bills, and request that these questions be answered. Zhe HRA members were in agreement. l�i�� : u►.. • m • - k, v 0 C, "4 4 0 C, � - xs ; • 4 4 4. 111 , • 0 � • 1k,1 )D1 00 wsxm m1 �I big v Mr. Robertson stated this was an informational item.

Lundgren. The Agreement states that the land in the southeast quadrant of Mississippi Street and University Avenue N. E. will be acquired for the development of multiple use development and whatever the HRA's cost is for the acquisition of the property will be placed as a second mortgage on the proposed development. Section 4.5 of this Agreement provides that the developer's irrevocable letter of credit to be provided on or before July 1, 1986, will be effective until the date on which the Authority issues the Certificate of Completion or Feb. 1, 1988, whichever shall occur earlier. It further states that if the minimum improvements have not been substantially completed by Feb. 1, 1988, or if there occurs an event of def aul t which remains uncured f or 60 days, then the Authority may draw upon the entire amount of the letter of credit. Section 4.3 of the Agreement states that the contractor shall commence construction of the improvements on or before December 1, 1986, and Mr. Lundgren has subsequently conceded that he has defaulted on the Agreement under the provisions of Section 9.1, "Events of Default ". Therefore, Staff recommends that the Authority draw the entire amount of the letter of credit in the sum of $200,000 as partial liquidated damages and reimbursement of expenses, with the understanding that all or a portion of the sum may be refunded to Mr. Lundgren if he succeeds in successfully securing financing for the project.

Some of this cost can be offset by reallocating some of the other landscaping and roadway costs of the entire project. I will keep you informed as the project details are produoed.

(6 12) 571 -3450 FRIDLEY, NIN 55432 EXT. 117 Engineering Sewer Water Parks Streets Maintenance MEMORANDUM TO: Jock Robertson, Executive Director - HRA IW88 -9 FROM: John G. Flora, Public Works Director DATE: January 8, 1988 SUBJECT: Rice Creek Road Improvements At the November 12, 1987 HRA meeting, the body approved a Rice Creek Road improvement project for a total amount of $600,000.00. This involved the Wade of Rice Creek Road between Central Avenue and Highway 65 with medians and intersection improvements in accordance with the University Corridor concept. Plans are being prepared by SEH and it is anticipated to advertise the project early this spring for summer construction. In developing the plans, it has been noticed that there are overhead electric lines along Rice Creek Road. If the HRA was to be consistent in relocating the electric distribution system underground, we should request NSP to schedule this work in conjunction with the roadway improvements. I have made rote of this item to the NSP representative but have not made an official request for this work. I would estimate the cost to be in the vicinity of 5150000.00. If the HRA desires to do so, I would recommend they authorize the City to negotiate with NSP to relocate the electric distribution system along Rice Creek Road underground. Based upon the November outline of projects, it would appear that this money could probably be made available from the interest resulting from the delay in the Highway 65 and other projects identified. asp/ts 5 -A FWDL�iY 5- B RESOLUTION NO.
