The chart has been reviewed by both Boisclair and Ron Clark, and they essentially agree with the updated summary. The Boisclair proposal was updated December 5. As we go to press, we have insufficient time to analyze the concept which involves HRA purchase of Village Green (see 1 -F and 1 -G). It would appear that the Clark proposal, while less monumental, (see 1 -H and 1 -I) is more encouraging for the following reasons: 1. Most importantly, no bond sale or additional money from outside the district would be required to support the Clark proposal. 2. The provision of 100 market rate housing units would promote a better housing "mix" for the entire Center City redevelopment project area. In one Boisclair option, which would create 150 units, the use of tax exempt housing revenue bonds would require more low and moderate income housing. This would have two disadvantages: a. Public assistance would be used to provide rent subsidies. b. These rent subsidies would not be permanent, but merely be provided during the duration of the bonding period. 3. This proposal uses the most Developer cash equity. JR:1s M -89 -731 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: JOCK ROBERTSON 6431 UNIVERSITY AVE.

Casserly DATE: October 27, 1989 RE: Comparison of Development Proposals for the Southwest Quadrant of University Avenue Northeast and Mississippi Street ( "the Redevelopment Site ") Attached is a chart which can only be described as a good faith effort to compare various proposals for the Redevelopment Site. This chart has been forwarded to both Boisclair and Ron Clark. As the chart indicates, the Redevelopment Site excludes the acquisition of Burger King; however, both Boisclair and Clark have contemplated a second phase which includes it. The Clark Phase II proposal is to construct an office building and this should require no additional funds from outside the district. The Boisclair Phase II "Concrete" option would add an additional 125 housing units and 30,000 square feet of commercial space and would need approximately an additional $1.5 million from outside the district. The Boisclair Phase II "Wood Frame" option would add an additional 60 housing units and 30,000 square feet of commercial space and would require approximately an additional $750,000 from outside the district. It appears that the Boisclair financing requires the use of tax exempt housing revenue bonds. In order to use this method of financing, the developer must receive an allocation from the State of Minnesota. The availability of the allocation is always a matter of conjecture. Clark Construction needs no allocation. 1 -B Page 2 City of Fridley October 27, 1989 Also attached to this memorandum is an overview of a governmental housing revenue bond program. This is the program being suggested by Atlas Development Corporation and is radically different from anything else that has been proposed. Under this program, the HRA would be the owner of the project, issue debt to finance the project and retain a manager of the project. As a financing mechanism, the program definitely works.

Need for low moderate income housing (community sets standards Minnesota Statute 469.012, Subd. 8) 2. Need for redevelopment 3. Elimination or diminution of traditional tax exempt financing 4. No property tax payments (percentage tax on rentals .-, 496.040, Subd. 3) 5. No sales tax on building materials (469.040, Subd. 1) How It Works - An HRA 1. Acquires property 2. Retains project coordinator 3. Retains project manager (3 year maximum lease) 4. Retains underwriter 5. Sells tax exempt revenue bonds (may pledge or use tax increments) 6. Constructs project 7. May sell or enter into long term equity or management percentage leases when tax exempt debt is paid ,�1 1 -C The Problems 1. Construction Risk a. Fixed price contract b. Reputable builder C. Insured draws; completion bonds d. Project coordinator 2. Management Risk a. Operating reserve (indirect funding) b. Marketing analysis C. Selection of co- insurer d. Competent project manager 3. Perceived "moral obligation" a. Non recourse debt (FHA and co- insurer) b. Will HRA allow default of public housing project 4. Potential staffing requirements or adjustments a. Development and operation b. Reporting 5. Site specific problems a. Tax increment for acquisition, relocation and demolition b.

The purpose of these revisions are as follows: 1. Continue to offer the City a.project of superior quality to enhance "downtown" Fridley. The project will act as an anchor for future activities along University Avenue and not simply be a replacement of the existing development. 2. Identify sources of tax increment revenue to make the project self supporting. 3. Provide the City with the opportunity to recoup it's tax increment investment. 4. Provide for the least cost method of funding the tax increment financing. We look forward to working further with you in the development of this proposal. Although it may appear somewhat complex we feel confident in our ability to bring all necessary pieces together. Sincerely yours, BOI COR RAT ,..� Richard C. ienapfl 219 MAIN STREET S.E. • SUITE 400 • MINNEAPOLIS.

The following is a summary of the transaction as required to provide the additional project income and insure a return of the investment by the City in the tax increment funding of the new project. 1. City enters into Purchase Agreement to acquire Village Green Apartments, approximate purchase price $11,000,000. 2. Developer commits to Phase I and II of new development and commences construction. 3. HRA simultaneously acquires Village Green. Acquisition is funded through the sale of Essential Function tax exempt securities insured by FHA mortgage insurance. HRA pledges excess operating income, due to elimination of normal real estate taxes, to TIF district for the redevelopment project. 4. Upon expiration of the need for TIF contribution by Village Green to maintain the redevelopment project's viability, the HRA may sell the property for its market value and realize the gain on sale as a return of its tax increment investment.

Fridley, MN 55432 Re: Mississippi and University Avenue Redevelopment Fridley, Minnesota Dear Jock: Enclosed are our conceptual site plans for the subject redevelopment. preparing this material, we did not have access to a survey of the property. In Items like traffic and parking circulation will be worked out when a survey is available. Two retail center site plans are submitted because I would prefer to include the Burger Ring site if we can negotiate terms with them. Both Ron and I are are excited about the potential that this site has and I am convinced that as a builder and developer of commercial and residential properties that Ron Clark Construction and the city can create a development that will define a downtown area for Fridley. I look forward to working with you on this project. Sincerely, RON CLARK CONSTRUCTION, INC. a S %a David L.

The proposed development is for an 18,400 sq. ft., one block, one story, commercial and office building. The anchor tenant would be a branch of Western State Bank of St. Paul (see attached profile of A. Williams Sands, Chairman of the Board). Northco proposes a spring start of the proposed center with additional tenants envisioned as a restaurant, printing, computer sales, insurance offices, etc. The site has wet soil that will have to be removed and backfilled for an estimated cost of $70,000. In addition, the site will have to be elevated a minimum of 2 ft. for proper drainage at an estimated cost of $25,000. Bruce Carlson, Northco Executive Vice President, estimates that the total cost of construction of the project will be approximately $850,000. The concept of the project is in keeping with concepts by the City Council at the time that a rezone request or a special use permit request for a service station was under consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council earlier this year (see attached excerpt from June 19, 1989, City Council meeting). Staff recommends that the HRA set up a short-term economic development district for the purpose of assisting this project with a soil correction grant. Staff recommends that this grant be in the form of a pay -as- you -go revenue note for an amount not to exceed the $70,000 required for the soil correction work. Preliminary estimates indicate that this would be approximately the first 2 years of taxes. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: JOCK ROBERTSON 0431 UNIVERSITY AVE. WI 2) 571 -9450 FRIDLEY, MN 55432 EXT. 117 2 -A Proposed Northco Phase III Development December 7, 1989 Page two If the HRA concurs, they should direct staff to draft a development agreement based on this concept and bring it back to the HRA for consideration at the January 1990 meeting. Also, if the HRA approves of this concept, staff should be directed to proceed with the necessary steps to create a short term economic development TIF district for this purpose and a recommendation to City Council to give a 30 day notice and set a hearing at their earliest possible time. JR:ls M -89 -740 E P 2 -B the permit for retail sales would have a detrimental affect on the neighborhood and the City. Mr. Herrick stated the issue on whether Phillips 66 could construct a car wash in the M -2 zone, he has rendered an opinion that he does not feel they would be entitled to build a car wash either with or without a special use permit. Councilman Billings stated for the record he would like it known that a real estate representative of the Soo Line Railroad called his several weeks ago about his position. He stated he indicated to her that the Housing and Redevelopment Authority and the City is in the process of acquiring certain present and former gas station sites in the City to remove them and create better use of the property. He stated it might be reasonable to assume that he is not pro -gas station. He stated he did not want the City to become a gasoline alley. He stated there are now approximately eight gas stations between I -694 and Northtown. Councilman Billings stated at the same time, it has to be emphasized he has a duty to respond to the City codes and ordinances and will not and cannot act in an arbitrary and capricious manner. He stated at the same time, he will not do anything to go out of his way to issue a variance, special use permit, or anything else that is not specifically required by the City ordinances. Councilman Billings stated he has a number of questions relative to this issue which he is not sure the staff and City Attorney can address this evening. He stated he was Chairman of the Planning Commission when the specific amendment to the M -1, M -2 and M -3 zoning districts took place authorizing accessory uses for the sale of certain products. He stated in approving these amendments, the Planning Commission was responding to areas where there is a large industrial development and it was felt accessory uses were needed, such as a catering service or small restaurant, to serve workers in these industrial areas. Councilman Billings stated the intent of the ordinance was not to have a 400 square foot operation that is different than the main use which is only 750 square feet. He stated he did not feel the square footage of the canopy should be considered in determining the size of the building. Councilman Billings stated at the Planning Commission meeting, there was comment that the service station /gas station industry is changing in scope. He stated a service station is no longer a place where you take your car to be serviced. Be stated this station will not include a service bay and would like to know if -� the City's definition of a service station is antiquated. He stated, in his mind, this is not a service station, but a gas station and felt there was a difference. He stated he would like o.

(See copy of minutes attached.) The advertisement for bids was published in the Fridley Focus starting October 25, 1989. We also sent out specifications to the companies that installed the electronic equipment in the Council Chambers and the security system for the Police Department. The public bid opening was held Wednesday, November 8, 1989, at 11:00 a.m. We received one bid from Security World, Inc., for a total of $10,973.00. (See attached bid form.) This includes the pan /tilt/ zoom camera, monitor and sound discrimination equipment and installation. Security World, Inc., received the bid and installed the Police security system. The Police and Public Works Departments are extremely pleased with Security World, Inc., and its products, installation, and service. Staff recommends that the HRA members approve the purchase of the Parking Ramp Security Surveillance System and award the contract to Security World, Inc., for a total cost of $10,973.00.

Mr. Newman stated that is correct. Mr. Robertson stated the HRA previously directed Mr. Commers and himself to sign the agreement. Unless the HRA members have any objection, staff will proceed as directed. The HRA members were in agreement that Jock Robertson and Larry Comers should proceed to execute the final development agreement as previously directed. 2. CONSIDERATION OF ELECTRONIC SECURITY AND ANTI - GRAFFITI SEALER FOR FRIDLEY PLAZA RAMP: Mr. Robertson stated Mr. Burns has expressed an interest in security cameras and wanted the HRA to reconsider what was previously discussed last fall and winter in addition to getting cameras and monitoring equipment for some of the holding areas in the Police Department. Mr. Burns stated a few weeks ago they found that the cameras for the Police Department were not in the package for audio visual, in the Council Chambers, and they sought quotes for six cameras in the Police Department. While they were doing that, it was his suggestion to seek an alternate quote for a camera somewhere in the doorway area of the lower level of the ramp. He thought it might be a good idea to have at least one camera that might serve a dual purpose of screening the traffic that is coming into the Police Department and perhaps screening what is going on in one of the darker, secluded areas of the ramp. Mr. Burns stated that in discussions with Bill Hunt, Tim Turnbull, and himself, they came to the conclusion that in addition to a camera, some sound protection devices are also needed. As the HRA members recalled, the last time electronic security for the ramp was discussed, the Police Department objected to having cameras because they would have to have a staff person monitoring the TV monitor, and they did not have a person to do that. Mr. Burns stated that with the sound devices, however, the person in the Police Department need not devote full attention to the monitor. Perhaps they could have the sound devices that would be activated by a cry for help or a loud pitched disturbance. They ultimately came up with a plan to mount approximately six speakers that have the capability of hearing any level of voice or noise in the ramp, depending on how they are set for loudness. The quotes came in at approximately $3,500 -3,600 for the camera and 3 -A KJ V HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING - PAGE 3 approximately $7,000 for the speaker system. Total estimated cost is $10,000- 11,000. Mr. Prairie asked if having this camera and sound system would reduce the cost of insurance needed for the ramp. Mr. Burns stated they have had the risk management company look at this, but they do not believe it will impact the insurance in any way. The City Attorney, Virgil Herrick, thinks that in terms of liability, it is a discretionary matter. Mr. Newman stated $11,000 is pretty cheap compared to a legal suit sometime in the future. Mr. Meyer stated having the extra security will give people some piece of mind. Mr. Burns stated that the lower level will be a little darker in the wintertime because of snow storage by the chain link fence, and he thought a camera and sound device will give people a better sense of security. Ms. Schnabel stated that at an earlier meeting, Mr. Turnbull had said that people should not feel secure just because there is a camera, as a camera can give people a false sense of security. Mr. Burns agreed, however, he stated the camera may also act as a deterrent to a potential perpetrator. Mr. Burns stated he is concerned that the camera be mounted inside Lexan or something that will protect the camera so it cannot be easily stolen or vandalized. Mr. Rasmussen asked if the company that installs the camera has any kind of policy whereby they will maintain the camera and sound device. Mr. Burns stated that is something that will have to be taken into consideration, and maybe they can have a maintenance contract with the company. There would be some additional expense for a maintenance contract. MOTION by Mr. Meyer, seconded by Mr. Rasmussen, to authorize the HRA staff to advertise and receive bids on the camera and monitoring equipment to be reviewed by the HRA at the September HRA meeting.

BURT, ASSISTANT FINANCE DIRECTOR SUBJECT: KRA BILL FOR RICE CREEK ROAD IMPROVEMENTS DATE: OCTOBER 27, 1989 The 1988 street project included improvements to the Rice Creek Road area. Prior to work commencing, the HRA negotiated development agreements with Northwest Racquet, Swim & Health Club, Moore Lake Shopping Center and Shorewood Plaza Shopping center. The HRA agreed to pay for the installation of the improvements and assess back a predetermined amount to the businesses. The total cost used in negotiating was originally estimated at $1,200,000. The actual cost is $1,058,858.43. I have attached a copy of the final assessment roll for your review. The HRA should issue a check to the City of Fridley for $1,058,858.43. The City will remit the assessments as they are paid over the thirteen year period 1991 -2003. The HRA should also be aware that in the event any of the above mentioned properties were to go delinquent, they will not receive their assessments until they have been paid. 1 4 CITY OF FRIDLEY FINAL ABSESSMENT ROLL STREET INPROVEMBNT PROJECT NO.

Maybe the City could approach Subterranean in a tactful way and ask them to better explain their billings. Mr. Newman stated he shared with the staff some of the same concerns as those expressed by Mr. Meyer. He suggested that this item be continued until the next meeting in order to allow City Staff to talk to both Subterranean and Sunde Engineering privately in order to make sure that everything was in order. Mr. Robertson stated he was comfortable with that request. Staff would come back to the next meeting with more information regarding these change orders. 3.

These five items were approved by the HRA for action for projects for 1988. MOTION by Mr. Prairie, seconded by Mr. Rasmussen, to approve Resolution i .HRA 7 -1987, "Resolution Authorizing Improvement Expenditures for Projects within the Tax Increment District for Construction in 1988 ". UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, ACTING CHAIRPERSON MEYER DEM"M THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMWSLY. 4. CONSIDERATION OF DIRECTING S.E.H. TO CCIMPLETE FINAL PLANS FOR RICE CREEK Mr. Robertson stated that on Aug. 13, 1987, the HRA authorized S.E.H. to prepare the detailed plans and provide for an inspection for a specified amount of money. %hat was now before the Commission was a procedural matter where the HRA was directing S.E.H. to work through the City Council as the HRA's billing administrator, and the HRA was agreeing to Pay back the City Council in a monthly manner. This was the same type of arrangement the HRA had with the contractors on the Lake Pointe site. Mr. Meyer stated that in the resolution, in the first "WHEREAS", it stated: ..the Housing & Redevelopment Authority authorized the execution of a con- tract with Short-Elliot-Hendrickson for the development of the final plans for the improvement channelization of the Rice Creek Road from T.H. 65 to Central Avenue" - Mr. Meyer stated neither the City nor the HRA has seen the final plans, and then in the next to last paragraph of the resolution, the HRA was resolving to pay the City on a monthly basis for the cost of the street improvements 0 4 -E HOUSING & ;zM VEMRMU AUTHORITY MEErnC, NOVEMBER 12, 1987 PAGE 4 to Rice Creek Road based on the final plans. Usually, the professional will bring to the public body plans which are officially approved; and then after the approval of the plans, the authorization for the letting of bids and the worries about expenditures, etc., are made. It seemed like the "cart before the horse here. Here they are being asked to approve monthly payments fraan some sort of plans that are not done yet for some kind of road for an underdetermined amount of money. Mr. Newman stated the City Council acts as the HRA's agent when it comes to public improvements. In that regard, the City Council goes through each specific procedure, and, in essence, this resolution was authorizing the City Council to let the contracts, go through the necessary procedures, and the HRA was making funds available to the City Council to authorize the payment. Mr. Newman stated Mr. Meyer's point was well taken, and perhaps sane wording should be added to the resolution to say that the HRA authorizes reimburse- ment not to exceed the allocated budget amount. Mr. Newman stated what happens and what has happened in the past was that the City Council and the Public Works Department work with the consulting engineer on the final plans. The MA was authorizing the City Council and the Public Works Department to take the necessary steps for them, and they were acting as the HRA' s agent. n Mr. Meyer staged it just seemed a little odd to say they are going to pay the City of Fridley cn a monthly basis for the cost of street improvements to Rice Creek Road. That was what was being said in this resolution, and he did not think it was good business. The resolution did not say how much the street improvements were going to be, and it did not say what the improvements are to Rice Creek Road. But, the improvements, as defined here, are contained in the documents which are still being drawn and which have not been seen or approved by the City. Mr. Newman stated this issue has come up in the past. It goes back to how much authority the HRA wants to give to the City Council. Mr. Meyer stated he did not think these was anything wrong with authorizing the City Council to be the HRA's agent to develop plans and specifications. And, then, at such time as the plans come before the City Council for final approval, it seemed to him there could perhaps be a second resolution. Mr. Prairie stated he felt the HRA could trust the City Council to act on their behalf. Also, for expediency, it was Probably better since the City Council meets more times a month than the HRA. Mr. Rasmussen stated he would prefer to let the City Council handle this. Mr. Newman staged if the HRA is going to authorize the City Council to act on their behalf, the City Council would rather have a broad resolution because then they have the flexibility to react to different situations as they arise. If the HRA wants to have a reporting Process, that was fine, but it was something staff would need to know- 4-F HOUSING & REDfvEiAPmENr AUTHORITY K=ING, NOVIIMM 12, 1987 PAGE 5 Mr. Robertson stated he certainly would be willing to keep the HRA informed and give them reports as things occur. Mr. Pribyl stated this particular contract with S.E.H. was the HRA's contract. It was more work to have to deal with it through the City Council when it is the HRA's contract. TAbether the City authorizes the original agreement or the HRA, the Public Works Department is still working with that group and makes recommendations to both the City and the HRA. From the Finance Staff's perspective mechanically, it works much better if the HRA authorizes the contract so there is only one step to go through instead of two. He under- stood the only reason they have been going through the City in the past was so the payment could be processed sooner, and the HRA meets only once a month. while the City Council meets twice a month. Usually, though, when consultants bill on a monthly basis, they bill at the end of the month, so the HRA meets often enough to be able to acomr odate most of those type of payments. Mr. Robertson stated the problem usually arises (true of more complex projects) when there are inevitable modifications that came about; and if they don't hit the monthly cycle, there can be a month's delay. If S.E.H. could wait a month on billing, they could continue as they are now. The point was that Staff has assumed the HRA would want this set up the way things have been set up in the past with the City Council being the HRA's agent and the HRA reimbursing the City. Mr. Meyer stated he certainly had no problem with that process. He just felt it was good business for the City to have seen the final plans and have agreed that the plans, as drawn, are in accordance with the wishes of the City and the wishes of the HRA, have approved the plans, and are ready for letting the bids. (Ms. Schnabel arrived at 7:40 p.m.) Mr. Robertson stated they could add the file number to the resolution and also the words "reimbursement not to exceed the contract amount ". He would recommend approval of the resolution with those two additions.

QURFSHI, HRA DIRECTOR r SUBJECT: PROJECT LIST FOR IMMOVENENT EXPENDITURES DATE: DECEMBER 10, 1986 At the December 11, 1986 meeting of the HRA, o mmission members will be asked to give consideration to a course of action for two expenditure scenarios; one involves the time restricted expenditure from a recent bond issue; and, the second relates to an expenditure plan for the anticipated increment funds generated by the City's tax increment districts. These expenditure scenarios have been incorporated into a "Conceptual Plan" for the timely utilization of these funds for projects within the City's Redevelopment Project No. 1. The need for this plan is explained best by providing background information on the restrictions surrounding these funds. In December 1985, the City, upon the request of the HRA, issued an $11,550,000 General Obligation Tax Increment Bond. Apart fran the funds required to be set aside for debt service reserves, capitalized interest and issuance costs, the proceeds were designatd as follows: $1,200,000 ......... Development of the SW Quadrant of Miss. St. & Univ. Ave. $2,440,000 ......... Development of the Lake Pointe Corporate Center $3,420,000 ......... General Project Activities within Redevelopment Project No. 1 State law requires that bond proceeds must be spent within three (3) years f rom the date of issuance of the bond. The only funds f ran the December 1985 bond sale not targeted for specific projects is the $3,420,000 designated as "General Project Activities within the Redevelopment Project Area No. 1. These funds must be spent by December of 1988. Zherefore, it is necessary to determine a plan of action for expenditure of these funds within the next two years. In addition to the bond proceeds described above, there are other funds which will shortly become available for expenditure by the HRA. Beginning in 1987, increment heretofore not specifically designated for project costs or bond repayment will begin to accumulate from the City's tax increment districts. Staff has estimated that by 1993 the total amount of this increment fund will be $6.8 million. Minnesota Statutes require that in any year in which the tax ..ti,.. ....ate n�,�hAr1 sPA 6v the taX increment exceeds the amount necessary to My he co au outstanding bonds, increment financing Dlan, the authority must, (1) prepay any (2) discharge the pledge of tax increment, (3) pay into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of a bond, or (4) return the excess increment to the County for distribution back to the taxing jurisdictions. Consequently, the projected $6.8 million in increment must be allocated for projects authorized by tax increment financing plans thereby retaining the increment for use within the Redevelopment Project Area No. 1. At the May 8, 1986 EPA meeting (minutes attached) , the HRA and City Council members were presented with a list cf possible projects for current and future improvements which could be funded fram the $3.4 million in bond proceeds. Out of the possible projects presented the following were targeted as priorities: Proj Estimated Cost Soil Correction Assistance $250,000 W. Moore Lake Dr. & Old Central 600,000 M4ssissippi St. Improvements 500,000 TruAk Hwy. 65 Improvements 1,000,000 More Labe Water Quality 500,000 University Ave. C.brridor 750,000 Senior Housing 150,000 nrvmlr. $3,750,000 Page 2 At the September 23, 1986 HM meeting (minutes attached) , staff advised the BRA and City Council members of the approximately $6.8 million in projected increment which will have been generated by the year 1993. It was the concensus of both the BRA and the City Council that it was in the best interest of the City for the BRA to continue to collect increment and use this money to fund improvements which, upon completion, will facilitate future quality developments within the City. It was the instruction of the BRA Commission members, at the September 23, 1986 meeting, that the staff prepare a timeline indicating possible projects, estimated costs and a reference to what projects the BRA has funded in the past. 7he attached "Conceptual Plan" is in response to this request. It addresses the projects within Redevelopment Project Area No. 1 which the BRA (on September 23, 1986) approved in concept and targeted to be funded within two years f rom the $3.4 milllion in bond proceeds. Zhe Plan also presents possible projects which can be funded over a 7 year time period with the estimated $6.8 million in available increment. In the past several years, the BRA has basically fall into two categories: public assistance (generally in the form of soil projects listed in the Conceptual Plan are by the BRA as indicated below. i! IF Low 4 Ill• Z00-- I funded a variety of projects which improvement projects and development correction assistance) . The proposed consistent with past projects funded Construction of streets, utilities, landscape & signage Construction of City plaza Road construction and public utilities to Woodbridge . Development assistance to Columbia Park Properties Parking assistance to the Fridley Cffioe Bldg. Soil correction assistance to Johnson Printing, Gerald Paschke, Vantage and Winf ield. Land assembly, demolition & grading assistance to Target. Remodeling assistance to the Holly Center Expansion assistance to the Shorewood Inn The possible projects listed in the Conceptual Plan are all projects which adhere to the objectives of the Redevelopment plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1 and the Mix Increment Financing Plans for each of the City's tax increment districts. All of the proposed projects are linked to improvements in three tax increment districts; Center City (TID #1) , Moore Lake (TID #2) and the North Area (TID #3) as these areas have been the only di st r i ct s f or whi ch f inanci ng plans did not detail a specific project, but rather addressed development possibilities. Rmding projects in these areas would be consistent with the State statute requirement that increment be utilized to pay the costs authorized by the tax increment financing plans. Expenditures in these areas could also satisfy the statute requirement on parcel activity within a tax increment district by providing site improvements necessary to assure that all parcels remain in the district until its termination. In my memo of September 19, 1986 (attached) s, I alerted you to the 4 -X page 3 "41 1 that Anoka munty �Y• at some time in the future, req acre stricter 4'Y possibility ring parcel improvements within a tax increment ^ verif ication dDcumentation rega o ect expenditures in both the district.

PRIBYL, FINANCE DIRECTOR SUBJECT: CHANGE IN METHODOLOGY FOR CHARGING KRA FOR ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF TIME DATE: DECEMBER 8, 1989 As you are aware, the budgetary process for the 1990 Budget to some degree was a milestone process. Because of the change in City Manager, numerous policy changes were made regarding the methodology for the preparation of the 1990 Budget. One of those changes in methodologies was in regard to the charging of funds and operations outside of the General Fund for the City of Fridley. One of those activities was the charging of the HRA. In an attempt to control the budgets within the General Fund, it was decided by the City that instead of charging an area outside the fund on a biweekly basis, the 1990 Budget process would incorporate an administrative charge based on 1988 actual activity. The mechanics of doing this would be to allocate on a quarterly basis a flat charge so each fund or activity receiving services from the General Fund staff would actually receive a quarterly charge. This amount would be the amount that was predetermined in the 1990 Budget process. The attached information relates to the HRA and the basis by which the charge of $149,807 was arrived at. As you can see, this charge covers the general administrative, accounting services and the engineering services as it relates to City salaries. It also shows you the percentage makeup of each one of those activities to the total charge for the year. Once again, we arrived at this number by actually using the 1988 actual and increasing the number by the annual increase in wages. Keep in mind that this type of charge buys them administrative services for both yourself and Mr. Burns, full accounting services which includes issuance of checks, investment services, preparation of financial statements, and running some projections for tax increment. Also all the engineering staff time goes into the projects that are administered by the HRA. Keep in mind that their ordinarily are costs associated with the employment of personnel, such as rents, utilities and other overhead that is not being charged for in 1990. I do think that $149,807 is a reasonable charge for the services rendered. ..r TO: JOCK ROBERTSON, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SUBJECT: CHANGE IN METHODOLOGY FOR CHARGING HRA FOR ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF TIME DATE: DECEMBER 8, 1989 PAGE 2 If you feel that there is a need for an individual breakdown from the 1988 activity, I would be very happy to provide that for both you and the HRA.

Twin City Federal needs authorization from Skywood Mall for joint parking areas plus assistance in reconstructing the 52nd Avenue driveway entrance. On November 1, 1989 I met with representatives from Twin City Federal, Skywood Mall Partnership, Marquette Bank and Towle Real Estate to resolve these issues. The following is to occur: 1. Although the Skywood Mall partnership stated that they cannot contribute any money for improvements to the property (because of bankruptcy litigation) , they do want to cooperate with Twin City Federal and the improvement of the 52nd Avenue entrance. The City currently holds a $10,000 bond for outside improvements on the property. It was agreed that the City would pursue collecting on the bond to put toward the $30,000 necessary to complete the 52nd Avenue driveway improvements. Twin City Federal would be responsible for $20,000. 2. If the bond money cannot be obtain by the City, Skywood Mall Partnership would then evaluate whether or not adequate funds exist in the operations account (the receivership is operated by Towle Real Estate). 3. Marquette Bank requested the City to notify them as soon as possible regarding the status of the bond so that the Board of Trustees regarding the property can review and approve the proposal. F Skywood Mall Property November 2, 1989 Page 2 4. Twin City Federal is in the process of making modifications to the agreement with Skywood Mall regarding the driveway improvement and is forwarding a new set of documents for signature to the 11 Skywood Mall partners. 5. There is approximately $1,000,000 outstanding in real estate taxes on the property. Easements and deeds necessary to accomplish the shared parking and driveway improvements cannot be recorded at Anoka County until the real estate taxes have been paid. Twin City Federal has requested the City to work with Anoka County in determining whether or not the documents can still be recorded despite the outstanding taxes against the property. Virgil Herrick agreed to speak to the County Attorney. In conclusion, the City will begin the work necessary to collect on the bond as soon as possible. I will keep you and the City Council apprised as to our progress.

PRIBYL, FINANCE DIRECTOR SUBJECT: HRA OPERATING EXPENSES DATE: NOVEMBER 7, 1989 Over the past eight years the City of Fridley has actually charged back to the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority any operating costs that were incurred within the scope of the HRA operations. These costs appear both monthly and quarterly depending upon the character of the expense that is being charged to the HRA. Often times, expenses are in the form of an allocation, such as telephone costs or costs for copying. After reading the minutes from the last HRA meeting, there was some question about the inspection expenditure that appeared in the minutes. This inspection expenditure relates to Jon Thompson and his inspection of any of the HRA projects. The involvement of Mr. Thompson recently has been in relation to the Fridley Municipal Parking Ramp. If there are any questions regarding his activity, they should be directed to John Flora since the inspection is under Mr. Flora. I would like to emphasize that these operating costs have always been charged to the HRA and there is nothing new about this particular situation.

Winson, Asst. Public Works Director R;�J DATE: November 7, 1989 SUBJECT: Reconstruction of Driveway at 5755 Central Avenue To update you on the progress of the Flaten Project, I will provide the following: Mr. Flaten has received a building permit for the changes to his garage and is approximately 75 percent completed with the changes. Concrete work (install new curbcut on Hackmann Avenue, remove and replace existing curbcut, new sidewalk) are being completed under the 1989 Miscellaneous Concrete Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk Project. The new curbcut is already in place. The placement of the existing curbcut will probably take place next spring. Our estimate for the cost of the concrete work is $560.00. We have solicited bids for the construction of the new driveway (including tree removal), removal of the existing driveways and sodding the disturbed areas. The low bid is $2,450.00. This work, with the possible exception of the sodding, will be completed within the next week. The total for the driveway work is approximately $3,010.00. My memorandum of August 4, 1989, gave an estimate of $3,500.00 for this work.

Ms. Schnabel asked that regarding the stress cracks that have appeared in the main joists of the ramp, can they be assured that the parking ramp structure is sound? Do they need another opinion on the stress cracks? Mr. Meyer stated he would be willing to take a look at the cracks and see if there is any reason to solicit another opinion on the soundness of the ramp. 3. CONSIDERATION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO RETROFIT EXISTING GARAGE AND CONSTRUCT DRIVEWAY AT 5755 CENTRAL AVENUE N.E. Mr. Robertson stated that in December 1986 when the redesign of the Hathaway/Hackmann/Hi 1 lwind/ Central intersection was approved, it was pointed out that Mr. Flaten's driveway would have to be rerouted. At that time, Mr. Flaten agreed to that and was directed to get some bids for changing the orientation of his garage from the north to the south. Staff had hoped to include the driveway paving in this year's street project. The Public Works Department took another look at the original proposal and decided there would be a savings in constructing the new driveway by taking the driveway out on the west elevation rather than on the south elevation. Mr. Robertson stated staff has proceeded and have the low bid for the retrofit of the garage of $2,475. Staff recommends the HRA authorize the payment of $2,475 to Mr. Flaten towards the reconstruction of his garage and authorize the Public Works Director to remove the existing driveway and construct a new driveway from Hackmann Avenue to the garage at a cost of $3,500. Also, staff recommends the HRA consider granting the excess property indicated on agenda page 3 -A to Mr. Flaten after the new intersection is constructed in return for his agreement to maintain said property. MOTION by Mr. Rasmussen, seconded by Mr. Prairie, to authorize the payment of $2,475 to Mr. Flaten towards the reconstruction of his garage and authorize the Public Works Director to remove the existing driveway and construct a new driveway from Hackmann Avenue to the garage at a cost of $3,500. Also, the HRA agrees to grant the excess property to Mr. Flaten after the new intersection is constructed in return for his agreement to maintain said property.

In Fridley, they recently built this nice new plaza in front of the City Hall at a cost of about $12,800.00. The only problem is, someone decided to install decorative bricks around the bases of sixteen (16) Locust Trees in the Plaza. The roots of the trees don't get enough oxygen and, not surprisingly, the trees are dying. Now City Officials are looking at spending another $8,000.00 to replace the Locust Trees with heartier Ash Trees. But not before they invest an additional $9,500.00 to tear up the decorative bricks to replace them with less suffocating iron grates. n ......

November 22, IM OPINION Report saying Fridley has poor plan unfair Fridley officials were as surprised as any of us to discover that their city was featured in a recent KARE -TV news segment. But even more surprising was the news that Fridley is a "city where poor planning most likely will lead to increased costs." In its "Money to Burn" segment Nov. 7, KARE told the tale of how Fridley "recently built this nice new plaza in front of city hall" only to tear it up to replace a bunch of dying trees. When city planners decided to install 16 locust trees in "decorative planters" on the plaza, they were remiss in not considering that the trees would suf- focate, the station reported. "The roots of the trees don't get enough oxygen and, not surprisingly, the trees are dying," the report stated. To deal with the problem, KARE reported, the city is considering removing the locust trees and planters and installing "heartier ash trees" to the tune of $17,500. True, the city's Housing and Redevelopment Author- ity ( HRA) has noticed the trees are not doing as well as expected. True, the HRA asked the landscaping firm working on the Municipal Center's remodeling to sug- gest a solution to the tree problem. But those seem to be the only elements of the story reported accurately, say city officials. The trees were ailing long before the plaza was built, they say. Based on an expert's assurances that the trees would grow well in such planters, the city planted them 10 years ago. Landscapers who worked on the Municipal Center project did suggest the city replace the locust trees with ash trees and change the planters, but that pro- posal is only one of many the HRA will consider. To explore other options, the HRA tabled that proposal in October, weeks before the Nov. 7 segment aired. The proposal also carries an estimated $11,000 price tag — not $17,500, as KARE reported. Had KARE's report on Fridley been fair and accu- rate, it would've been a good example of media acting as a government watchdog. Fine — media should keep a close eye on public bodies, making sure they act in the public's best interest. But KARE's inaccurate reporting of the facts and charge that the city is a place where poor planning will lead to increased costs is unfair. KARE lumped Fridley in with other cities that did appear to • have wasted huge sums of money, — sums that made the Fridley expenditures seem paltry by comparison. It seems evident that the station went looking for a story where there wasn't one. But the show had to go on. - Freedom Freedom of the press is to be guarded as an inalienable right of the people in a tree society.

As you remember, these are HUD funds that the HRA used to assist at least 10 or 15 homeowners over the last decade. Mr. Crampton indicated that he had received a job offer in the State of Texas and is waiting for HRA action to decide whether to accept the offer or not. In a check back with Mr. Crampton on December 6, he told me he had been informed that the job in Texas had been frozen, but there was a possibility of it being reopened in January 1990. Because of this uncertainty, I would recommend that the staff bring back to the HRA a proposed negotiated agreement. If Mr. Crampton decides to move out of state to start a new job and sell his house, the proposed settlement would make up any loss that Mr. Crampton would receive upon the sale of his house. Otherwise, there would be no forgiveness. In this way, the HRA would not give any windfall benefit to Mr. Crampton. JR:ls M -89 -739 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: JOCK ROBERTSON 4431 UNIVERSITY AVE.

Fridley, MN 55432 Dear Mr. Robinson: Ever since returning to Minnesota after my active duty service in the U.S. Air Force, I have been employed by Honeywell, Inc. Honeywell has been going through a down- sizing process for the past several years. My position has survived several work force reductions during the past few years, but it is quite possible that it will not survive the recently announced cut of approximately 4000 positions. I am therefore conducting a nationwide job search to locate another job. If I locate a job outside of Minnesota or outside of the Twin Cities, I will of course have to move. We currently are in our eighth year of a ten " fir commitment to occupy our current residence. If we stay the full ten Lars a second mortgage of $9,900 dollars will be automatically satisfied. If we leave before the ten years are up, then we have to pay the $9,900 note plus interest, etc. If we were to have to pay the $9,900 note and interest we would have to pay money to get out of our house. We therefore request that the HRA prorate our note for $9,900 so that we have to pay only that percentage of the $9,900 note proportional to the amount of the ten year period which is remaining when we sell upon finding a job out of state (or outside of Twin Cities). If we were to sell and move out of the area around the end of this year we would estimate having completed a little over 75% of our ten year commitment and we would ask that we be able to discharge our note upon payment of 25% of $9,900 or $2475. Please let us know if this arrangement would be satisfactory with the HRA. Sincerely yours, 4A=n_,T. C AJ&__ i r an Crampton September 8, 1997 19 3rd St. NE Fridley, MN 5543 Samantha Orduno City of Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority l Dear Samantha, 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 jback: 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 $9,900 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 21. According to that analysis we would come out of our home with only !—'out $800 in equity if we paid nothing on the HRA note. That would not ,.-.en recover our down payment, closing costs, etc., and would not allow us to recover anything of the close to $40,000 that we have made in payments on the property in the last 62 months. Again that is without paying anything on the $9,900 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 like ours. We would like to request that the 5 year mark: as opposed to result in any windfall to us, property at the low end of the starter home for someone else. Very truly, i an Cram ton the HRA allow us out of our 2nd mortgage at the its year mark. This would clearly not and it would open up another piece of market which would make an excellent X Mr. Paschke showed the W the building plans. Mr. Commers stated the a were some things here that were real premature --in terms of the HRA determining what to do. Mr. Paschke stated that bef a he goes ahead and spends a lot more money, he needed to have some indi ti from the HRA that they would Abe willing to give him sane assistance. If it was not feasible, he wanted to know th at. Mr. Coroners stated it was hard for the HRA to make that determination at this time. It was something . Paschke would have to work out with Staff and then Staff should com back with some kind of recommendation and the basis for that reoommen tion. Mr. Meyer stated that if the HRA' guideline is to contribute 10% to the cost of the soil correction, woulx that be enough assistance? Mr. Paschke stated that was what h needed to know. If everything is agreeable to both the City and h' lf, he would like to know what the maximum was that the HRA would con ' bute. Ms. Sdznabel stated she felt trey sh d get a dollar figure and get that settled ahead of time so they do not un into some of the same problems they have had with the Lake Pointe roj ect. She was not opposed to providing some type of assistance to Paschke, but she would like to see the finalized plans and have sane gores generated. Mr. Paschke stated he would get togeth r with Staff and come up with something reasonable. Mr. Coroners stated the HRA was willing o try to participate in some meaningful manner, but since this was the first time they had heard about this project, it was difficult to put a dol ar amount on the assistance at this time. He would recotmend Mr. Pasch work with Staff between now and the January meeting, and then Staff can give the HRA an update at the next meeting. ,,0. :Y l Mr. Robertson stated that at the October meeting, the HRA had asked Staff to give the HRA some background information on this. No action was required at this meeting. 7he HRA could consider staying with the HRH's policy as indicated in W. Newman's letter dated May 6, 1986, or they could change the policy. Mr. C m►ers stated that W. 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 lef t. He thought they had had between 10-15 hones at one point under this program. What has happened to the other homes he did not know, but he knew they have not made any other concessions. 5. Ms. Schnabel stated that of the homes 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 aver that kind of thing? Mr. Newman stated, no, the HRA would have no control over that.

Conners stated the issue as whether a claim should be made against Subterranean at this time for what might be considered negligence on their part in their initial re its and the initial way they did the job. Mr. Meyer stated he was satisfic4q with the explanations on the part of the various people from Sunde gineering on whether they have kept things separate, and even Subterr nean's, except for this last point. There seemed to be a lot of other ings involved besides Subterranean's testimony. Mr. Prairie stated Subterranean migh 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 lve a lot of things. The best solution might be just not to use the rvices of Subterranean anymore. Mr. Meyer stated he would agree with Ms. Schnabel stated the fact that there akready has been an arbitration board involved has a tremendous impact on at the HRA's chances would be in a lawsuit.

ATTORNEYS AT I.AW 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: 6279 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N E FRIDLEY. MINNESOTA 55432 571 -3650 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 3D 9 ® 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.

Rapid oil originally applied for a variance as well as a special use permit request. Because the existing parcel totals only 16,000 sq. ft., a lot area variance and a setback variance from University Avenue were needed. In order to avoid these variances, we advised Rapid Oil to combine the adjacent vacant lot (which they own) with the existing parcel. The lot is 40 feet wide by 160 feet deep. Rapid Oil consequently withdrew the variance application and filed for a rezoning application since the 40 foot wide parcel is zoned R -2. The rezoning application is from R -2, Two Family Dwelling, to C -2, General Business. The C -2 zoning matches the existing zoning of the Rapid Oil parcel. The special use permit and the rezoning applications were considered by the Planning Commission on September 13 and September 27, 1989, respectively. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the applications subject to the following stipulations: Rezoning application, ZOA #89 -04: 1. Compliance with the site plan submitted with the application. 2. Compliance with all the stipulations of the special use permit request, SP #89 -12. 3. Approval of the special use permit request, SP #89 -12. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: MOCK ROBERTSON 5431 UNIVERSITY AVE. (t12) 571 -3450 FRIDLEY. NN 55432 EXT. 117 5' Rapid oil Development Application: 57th Place December 7, 1989 Page 2 Special Use Permit application, SP #89 -12: 1. A grading and drainage plan shall be submitted to be approved by the Engineering staff prior to issuance of a building permit. 2. The petitioner shall combine Lots 1, 2 and 3 with Lot 4 into one tax parcel. 3. Approval of the special use permit shall be contingent upon the approval of the rezoning application of Lot 4. 4. No building permit shall be issued until the contamination clean -up has been completed and satisfies MPCA standards. The City Council at the public hearing for the rezoning application on November 13, 1989, continued the hearing until the soil test results are received from Rapid Oil. Current Status n On October 31, 1989, Councilmember Billings met with Jack Lemley from Ashland Oil and staff. Larry Commers was invited to attend, but he could not do so. Councilmember Billings expressed to Mr. Lemley his desire to postpone a decision on the zoning applications until the soil tests have been submitted and reviewed by the staff and the HRA. Councilmember Billings also wants staff to evaluate the implications of the acquisition cost to remove Rapid Oil versus the options of keeping Rapid Oil on the site. Mr. Lemley stated that he does not believe the area is depressed enough to be considered "blight ". He stated Ashland Oil will contest any condemnation acquisition. He also wants a legal analysis of the implications and costs of acquiring the site with an approved zoning and special use permit application versus the existing situation. Mr. Lemley also stated that he wants to work with the City and the HRA to put together some type of development where a Rapid Oil facility and other uses can co- exist. His preference is to have a free - standing building immediately adjacent to the 57th Avenue /University Avenue intersection. He is willing to negotiate with the City and HRA as part of a redevelopment project such that he would be part of a multi- tenant building with the construction of the Rapid Oil facility as a first phase project. He stated that relocating his facility to another location (such as 61st �--� Avenue /University Avenue) would not be acceptable; however, he would be willing to evaluate any proposal that staff would prepare. I n Rapid Oil Development Application: 57th Place December 7, 1989 Page 3 HRA Analysis The HRA is withholding a decision about the 57th Place redevelopment project until the soil tests have been received and reviewed for the extent of contamination. Because we will be receiving the soil reports at the same time of City Council consideration of the rezoning application, Councilmember Billings has requested the HRA to analyze the following alternatives when it considers its decision regarding 57th Place. 1. The HRA decides not to redevelop the site; Ashland builds its free - standing building and existing uses remain the same. 2. The HRA decides to redevelop the Ashland Oil site and other properties as proposed by Winfield Development with a bank as the anchor tenant. (See attached letter from Crosstown Bank.) 3. The HRA decides to redevelop the properties with Ashland Oil as the anchor tenant and other properties as originally anticipated in the Joe Commers' proposal. 4. Ashland Oil proceeds with its construction of a free- standing Rapid Oil facility, but in conjunction with a larger overall HRA redevelopment project. Mr. Lemley has informed us that the soil test results will probably not be available by the December HRA meeting. The trade -off appears to be the higher cost involved with taking out Ashland Oil vs. the higher property values and more desirable gateway appearance of the Winfield proposal. Summary No action is required by the HRA at this time; however, please advise us of any other issues the HRA wants to consider in relation to this project.

This maximum activity budget adds likely new projects to those projects that are currently on hold which could be revived for HRA action. It will be necessary for the HRA to assign priorities to these projects in order to get maximum utility from our limited financial resources.

Anoka County and BRW briefed the Council on the status of the LRT planning process currently under way. Of most importance was the proposed sites for stations along the University Avenue portion of the corridor (see attached). Park and ride locations are proposed at 57th Avenue, Mississippi Street, and 'Osborne Road along University Avenue. At Osborne Road, the parking lot for the Immanuel Christian Center Church will be utilized to accommodate a park and ride station. At Mississippi Street and 57th Avenue, 300 parking spaces are estimated by BRW as necessary to handle park and ride traffic. Both intersections have major redevelopment projects proposed. The Council stated that Anoka County should be responsible for acquisition of lands necessary for their facilities and that it should not jeopardize the City's redevelopment projects. If a project can be completed with a joint and /or shared use between the redevelopment project and the park and ride facilities, an analysis should be provided indicating that the City is not losing any tax base as a result of the LRT facilities. An alternative to the Mississippi Street station is the Columbia Arena site. The Planning Commission prefers that the park and ride station be located at Mississippi Street rather than Columbia Arena, because the Mississippi Street location is better in terms of east /west access for feeder buses and commuters. A station may also be considered at Lake Pointe, depending on the LRT route alignment along Central Avenue and how it will cross I -694. However, the City Council felt strongly that a park and ride site should not be located at Lake Pointe. The parking lot at the Target store was identified as an alternative.

Using the "diamond model ", staff analyzed the previous recommendations of the Planning Commission and staff. To follow is an explanation of the diamond model and staff's analysis and implementation plan for Central Avenue. Diamond Model The diamond model charts four interdependent dimensions of any given issue in the following way: POWER: Energy or passion. MISSION: Purpose or vision of the future. \ STRUCTURE: Form, plan or governing body. RESOURCES: Money or tools to accomplish the mission. i"1\ Central Avenue Plan December 7, 1989 Page 2 When analyzing a problem, the four components of the diamond are arranged in the following hierarchical order: Mission Power Structure Resources The goal is to solve a particular problem one level up from where it is first diagnosed. For example, if the problem is identified as a resource problem, one should proceed "up" the model for solutions. Based on our discussions with Commission, staff evaluated the model as follows: MISSION: the City Council and Planning four components of the diamond City Council - Improve the compatibility, appearance and tax base of Central Avenue in a cost effective a manner as possible. Staff - Build on the synergy of Moore Lake Commons in the south half in the near term (three to five years). Continue the momentum northward in the long term, linking Medtronic, Onan and other properties in the north portion of the corridor. POWER: City Council desires compatible land uses, an upgrade in appearance, and maximum tax revenue. HRA desires self- supporting projects with TIF for both small industrial developers and large, such as the Onan redevelopment district. Anoka County desires to turn back Central Avenue to Fridley. Will there be Minnesota State Aid funds available to the City in return for taking Central Avenue? Or, can Anoka County improve Central Avenue prior to turnback? STRUCTURE: Comprehensive Plan HRA Policies & Guidelines City Code HRA Development Agreements CIP County Transportation Plan & CIP Budgets SBA 504 20 Year Loans 3 Central Avenue Plan December 7, 1989 Page 3 RESOURCES: Tax increment limited in the short term - Onan and Moore Lake redevelopment districts are a lower priority than Lake Pointe and the southwest quarter for the next three years for tax revenue to start. * Code Enforcement - general appearance of private properties. * Urban Design Standards * Public Works and R/W * CIP * General Fund * Private Development of vacant land. * County - Anoka County Highway Department * ACBAN With that analysis, staff developed the following phased implementation plan. Phases I and II can occur independently or simultaneously depending on the market forces. Phase I: (1990 - 1992) 1. Update the land use plan for the entire corridor as part of the Comprehensive Plan revision process. 2. Rezone and market vacant land along the entire corridor in accordance with the comprehensive plan. 3. Continue systematic code enforcement of the area. 4. Explore the issues concerning the future fate of Central Avenue. The components of Phase I respond to the Council's mission of land use compatibility and appearance. Land uses will be analyzed not only for their compatibility along the corridor, but also for their compatibility with adjacent neighborhoods within the context of the comprehensive plan. Continued systematic code enforcement will insure that the minimum standards set forth in the code will be met. Phase II: (1990 - 19941 1. City decides whether or not to expand Moore Lake TIF district or create a separate TIF district to redevelop the northeast corner of Mississippi Street and Central Avenue. V Central Avenue Plan December 7, 1989 Page 4 2. Private property owners may replat and rezone vacant parcels along the east side of the Central Avenue corridor south of Mississippi Street in response to market forces. A potential street improvement project exists between Mississippi Street and Rice Creek Road to enable the lots adjacent to Central Avenue to subdivide. 3. Existing uses may expand on west side of Central Avenue, south of Mississippi Street (e.g. Sandees). 4. Onan decides whether or not to move forward with its redevelopment project. The Phase II components depend on market forces to determine the timing of the various components. Work continues on upgrading land use compatibility and appearance. PHASE III: (1992 - 2000) Continue the momentum of Moore Lake Commons to the area north of Rice Creek. Emphasis and energy is concentrated north of Rice Creek. r� 1. With Onan's Redevelopment Project: a. Pace will be faster, more accelerated b. Spin -off redevelopment projects may develop C. Select a key junkyard redevelopment project(s) as a catalyst to rejuvenate industrial area d. Accelerated street improvements 1) frontage road along T.H. 65 from 73rd Avenue to Fireside Drive 2) other streets to be created for redevelopment of industrial area 3) Central Avenue boulevard improvements 2. Without Onan's Redevelopment Project: a. Pace will be much slower; timeframe much longer. b. Rearrange tax increment district boundaries to include additional blighted lands and vacant parcels. Central Avenue Plan December 7, 1989 Page 5 C. Energy is concentrated on enhancing Osborne Road to Fireside Drive development /redevelopment potential. d. Possible Onan /Medtronic replat for a business park near railroad tracks and Medtronic's east building. e. Minimum street improvements with the emphasis on the area south of Rice Creek. The Phase III components emphasize economic development and redevelopment. In this phase, the upgrade in appearance could be dramatic. New projects will be compatible with existing land uses. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that staff include their analysis as appropriate within the comprehensive plan and proceed with the activities as outlined in the three phase plan. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION The Planning Commission moved to accept the proposed implementation plan as presented by staff. The Commission believes that a "vision" is needed for Central Avenue, and concurred that the planning process should continue as part of the Comprehensive Plan revision process.

Mr. Kondrick stated that 20 -25 years from now when in ory the LRT has expanded out to Anoka, perhaps Ramsey, East Be el, etc., and more park and ride stations are necessary. He wou then think the significance of the parking lots in the City of ridley would so be se greatly parking diminished. ocouldHthenube changed back to something lelse. those Mr. Dahlberg stated that in the situatio described there Kondrick, when an area is no longer needed or parking, is an option where the City or H A can own property and lease it to the County and the Rail Authority, rather than the County purchasing the property? Ms. Sherek stated this raised a stion raised by the Planning Commission in the early discussio s, and that was: R they have to build all these stations at i tial construction? BW is saying they need 2,000 parking spaces ut what is wrong with starting out with Northtown, Mississippi/ iversity, 51st or Target, and then when there is the demand ive years later, they build another station. Ms. Dacy stated they ould have to have the land reserved under that option. Mr. Saba stated ey have to be somewhat careful, because just the potential "need for a parking lot in a certain area can stop or slow developm t. Mr. Barna ated his main concern about LRT is they are talking about p is bodies developing the parking spaces. In looking at other 'ties, the vast majority of parking ramps are privately owned Why isn't the City of Fridley looking at some type of two - leve parking ramp /retail development on the southwest corner with as stance from the riIItA, ace that r or if the whatever?

Mr. Kondrick commended staff on a tremendous outline. in Ms. Sherek stated the area from Onan north on Central Avenue is Do ery yea danger of becoming a slum, and it is getting worseevlike this they want to let that happen? There are already pockets with a in the City, and do they want to add to it. By coming up comprehensive plan and continuing toward systematic code enforcement, and having other plans for these properties if they should go up for sale. They need to put the plan together and have some kind of "vision" of what Central Avenue should look like. With Moore Lake Commons, there is going to be spin -off development. The Commissioners agreed. Mr. Kondrick stated they have to be very specific about what they want to see along the Central Avenue Corridor. want to Mr. Barna stated corner changed, from 73rd see that northwest 3rd Avenue to Fi eside. Mr. Dahlberg stated he did not think it was appropriate for the Commission, as a planning body, to dictate the types of development unless it is within a specified district like this is. Within a tax increment district, they can do that, but outside the district, they cannot. If Onan does not develop, then the district not reduced dramatically. They can change the boundary, significantly, because 70% of the land area has to be considered blighted. So, it becomes a very small area that they have any influence or control over. He thought a plan is good, and this outline is an excellent beginning.
