APPROVAL OF AUGUST 8. 1991, HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
MINUTES•
MOTION by Mr. Meyer, seconded by Ms. Schnabel, to approve the
August 8, 1991, Housing & Redevelopment Authority minutes as
written.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF SECOND MORTGAGE SATISFACTION FOR
FRIDLEY PLAZA OFFICE BUILDING:
Mr. Commers stated the HRA has received a memo from Mr. Burns
relative to negotiations that have been ongoing with respect to
the amount of the second mortgage that currently exists with the
Fridley Plaza Office Building. It is staff's recommendation
that, although neither the staff or the HRA are too happy about
this under these circumstances, the HRA approve the satisfaction
of the second mortgage for the Fridley Plaza Office building.
Mr. McFarland asked if there are any personal guarantees on this
property.
Mr. Hoeft stated that in checking the files, he did not believe
there are any notes or personal guarantees.
-- HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG., SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE 2 - --
Mr. Commers stated that Mr. McFarland brings up a good point. If
they approve the second mortgage satisfaction now before knowing
for sure if there are any guarantees, will there be any problem?
Mr. Hoeft stated, no, the HRA would not be compromising any
guarantee rights by approving the second mortgage satisfaction.
Mr. Commers stated that legal counsel will be able to find that
out within a couple of days, and maybe the HRA should approve the
second mortgage satisfaction contingent upon being satisfied that
either there are no personal guarantees; or, if there are, this
does not foreclose or cause any problems in pursuing the original
managers on any guarantees that might exist.
Mr. Hoeft stated he should know this for certain by September 17
or 18.
Ms. Dacy stated the City will not record the mortgage satis-
faction until the check is received.
Mr. Meyer asked what kind of precedent this sets for any other
second mortgage positions that the HRA has.
Mr. Hoeft stated he thought that the circumstances in this case,
the way the mortgagee's interest was bought out in that
transaction and in.relation to the rest of the HRA's ongoing
projects, is something that will probably not happen again.
Regarding any other second mortgage position, when the HRA goes
into that position, the HRA has to know that it is either taking
that secondary position or re- enforcing that position through
some outside guarantees of individuals or partnerships or
corporations.
Mr. Commers stated that just because they do something, does not
mean they have to do it again. Each decision made by the HRA is
independent, and by doing this they are not intending to set a
precedent for anyone else.
MOTION by Mr. Meyer, seconded by Mr. McFarland, to approve the
satisfaction of the second mortgage for the Fridley Plaza Office
building upon receipt of a check in the amount of $17,500, and
contingent upon being satisfied that either there are no personal
guarantees; or, if there are, this does not foreclose or cause
any problems in pursuing the original managers on any guarantees
that might exist.
Ms. Schnabel stated she is very unhappy about this situation. It
is very unfortunate that the HRA has to face this kind of
situation, and she is very unhappy that these next door neighbors
expect the HRA to capitulate on the second mortgage. It bothers
her because of the HRA's position and because of the HRA's help
initially in the building. She stated she will
vote against this motion.
Mr. Commers stated there is truth to Ms. Schnabel's statements,
and this is something the HRA should keep in mind as they are
approached about taking second mortgage positions in other
projects.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, COMMERS, MEYER, AND MCFARLAND VOTING AYE,
SCHNABEL VOTING NAY, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED ON A 3 -1 VOTE.
2. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND LEASE
AGREEMENT WITH DON FITCH FRIDLEY DAIRY QUEEN:
Mr. Commers stated that a memo from Barbara Dacy dated September
6, 1991, outlines some suggested changes to the lease. At the
meeting, the HRA received an updated list of changes.
Mr. Dacy stated that in the hand -out at the meeting, items 1, 2,
3, 4, and 6 are suggested changes that staff recommends the HRA
consider approving. The items of most concern are items 5, 7,
and 8.
Mr. Commers stated that regarding the heating, ventilation, and
air conditioning, does the HRA have the right to elect not to
replace them if they quit working and then terminate the lease?
Ms. Dacy stated that has been discussed at length with Mr. Fitch.
Staff is proposing that he would be responsible for any or all
repairs. However, as far as any replacement of items, the only
items the HRA would be replacing would be the furnace or air
conditioner.
Mr. Commers stated the rent the HRA is charging would not make it
feasible to replace a furnace or air conditioner. If one of
these items malfunctions and the HRA is not in an economic
position to replace that furnace or air conditioner, the HRA
should be able to elect to either continue the lease or terminate
the lease.
Ms. Dacy stated the HRA can do that if they choose. Because the
Dairy Queen is a seasonable business, the furnace has not been
used too much; and she understood from Mr. Fitch that the air
conditioner is in good condition. During the course of the
negotiations, it was agreed that Mr. Fitch will be responsible
for rent, utilities, taxes, ground maintenance, equipment repair,
but he has requested that he not be responsible for the furnace
or air conditioner.
Mr. Commers asked if someone can inspect the furnace and air
conditioner to see what condition they are in. If they are in
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG.. SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE -A
good condition, then he would assume there shouldn't be any big
problems and they can take the risk for the next 1 1/2 years.
Mr. Fitch stated the air conditioner is only 10 years old and the
furnace is 15 years old, so both are relatively new. He stated
he is not opposed to having someone from the City inspect the air
conditioner and furnace.
Mr. Fitch stated he can delete item 5. In Paragraph 11 of the
lease, he was requesting that the phrase beginning with the word
"caused" be deleted. He believed that if, in the extreme case,
one of his employees is killed as a result of the HRA's action to
repair, he should not sign away his right to sue the HRA. He
stated that in talking with the HRA's legal counsel, his concerns
have been satisfied.
Ms. Dacy stated the item that needs to be discussed is item 7,
regarding insurance coverage on the building. When the HRA took
title to the property at the end of July, the Dairy Queen
property was added as a temporary binder on the current policy
the HRA has with Rice Plaza. However, the insurance agent
notified staff that because the Dairy Queen is a seasonal
operation, they will not carry that particular building. An.
annual policy will cost the HRA about $800, with a $5,000
deductible. Mr. Fitch wants to continue his current building
policy, but his policy would be amended to name both the HRA and
himself as insured. The deductible on the policy would be $250.
That leaves an extra cost of $500 for the insurance, and Mr.
Fitch is proposing that the HRA split that cost on a 50/50 basis.
Ms. Dacy stated the temporary binder expires at midnight on
Friday, September 13, 1991, so they would have to proceed with a
pro -rated cost for the remainder of this year plus 1992. It is
significantly cheaper to go along with Mr. Fitch's suggestion.
Mr. Commers asked Mr. Hoeft if he had looked at Mr. Fitch's
policy.
Mr. Hoeft stated he had not yet had a chance to look at the
policy. He will review the policy and make sure the HRA is named
as the ensured on the policy.
Mr. Commers stated this appeared to be a logical thing to do as
long as the policy is reviewed by legal counsel and it gives the
HRA the necessary coverage.
Ms. Dacy stated the HRA's consultant, Conway Olson, also
recommended this approach.
Ms. Dacy stated that in item 9 (Paragraph 7 of the lease), the
lease should be amended to read that there be a 30 day notice of
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG. -SEPT. 32, 1991 PAGE 5
cancellation instead of the 10 day notice. Mr. Burns also
recommended approval.
Ms. Dacy stated that leaves item 8. Mr. Fitch wants the HRA not
to re -lease the building to another soft -serve operation after he
leaves.
Mr. Fitch stated item 8 has one primary purpose. He stated he is
hoping he will be able to move across the street to the Fridley
Town Square so he did not think they are looking at the lease
with the Dairy Queen as a long term lease. He stated it was
never his intention to leave his present location. He has been
there 25+ years and has built up a superb reputation for
distributing soft -serve items. He would like to have a non -
competing clause in both the lease and the settlement when they
come to terms on the sale from the Dairy Queen. He did not think
it is in his best interest for the City to use the reputation of
that location as a purveyor of soft -serve treats to put a
competing business in there when he is just moving across the
street. He and his wife do not care what type of business goes
into that location, but they prefer that the business not be
mistaken as a Dairy Queen. They would like this incorporated as
part of the lease and settlement.
Mr. Commers stated that if the HRA does this and the HRA
terminates the lease, then it not going to be an issue; however,
if Mr. Fitch terminates the lease, the HRA has essentially a one -
use building and he did not know how adaptable the building is
for other uses.
Mr. Meyer stated he understood Mr. Fitch's feelings about this
issue; but from a realistic standpoint, does the HRA as a public
body have any right to write in such.a clause?
Mr. Hoeft stated that, yes, the HRA can limit the type of
business for that building. Regarding the question, is the
building adaptable to any other use or are they cutting off any
other use for that property, that is a policy situation.
Mr. Commers stated it is a
take and reduces the value
worth as much if they have
bearing on the fair market
stuck with a building they
rent or lease it, it might
value. He stated this is
risk that the HRA does not need to
of the building. The building is not
to assume that risk. That has a
value of the building. They could be
cannot rent or lease, or, if they can
be at a rent less than fair market
difficult issue.
Ms. Dacy stated that some of this might be solved if the
northeast quadrant is redeveloped and Mr. Fitch can relocate
there. It is even possible that the HRA would not be able to re-
lease the building to another soft -serve business because the
Dairy Queen would be in the general vicinity. It is staff's
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG. , SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE 6
recommendation that it would not be prudent for the HRA to tie
its hands by putting that kind of clause in the lease at this
time.
Mr. Meyer stated he can understand this concern, but he did not
think it has a lot of validity and logic. It is his feeling that
they would be pursuing a very fine point, and he would be willing
to go ahead and put the clause in the lease.
Mr. Fitch stated his request is only for the building as it
exists now. If the building is torn down and there is new
development, then anything can be developed. His request only
surfaces around the aspect of identification, especially with the
red roof being maintained on the building.
Mr. Commers asked Mr. Fitch if he would have any objection if the
roof was painted a different color.
Mr. Fitch stated he would not have as big a concern if the roof
was a different color. However, he still has some concerns
because of the way this whole process has taken place, and that
it was not he and his wife's choice to relocate. He still has
some reservations about another soft -serve operation locating in
the building, but not as many if the roof is painted a different
color.
Ms. Schnabel stated that virtually every major fast -food business
is now serving some type of soft -serve ice cream and yogurt.
What concerns her is that because of the "soft- serve" definition,
would the HRA be locking themselves into something they cannot
manage once Mr. Fitch and his business moves? That is the
problem she sees with Mr. Fitch's request.
Mr. Fitch stated it has been brought up that there is a different
fair market value for the property because it cannot be used for
the potential soft -serve type businesses it was designed for. By
the same token so far, the market valuation on this property was
set not as a Dairy Queen but what it would be as something else.
The purchase price was ultimately set on the basis of it being a
Dairy Queen and the marketability of it being a soft -serve and
the reputation it has. They can eliminate any problems with the
lease if the purchase price of the property is substantially
larger than currently proposed. If he is paid for the value of
the property being a soft -serve Dairy Queen location, then he has
no problem with the HRA leasing it to another soft -serve
business. But, as currently proposed, the property is not being
valued on that specific type of use. It is being valued as a
general piece of property with a little building on it.
Mr. Commers stated the property is valued at its highest and best
use. It may be even valued higher than the use as a Dairy Queen.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG., SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE 7
Mr. McFarland stated the lease expires in November 1992. Can the
terms of the lease be binding after the expiration of the lease?
If the northeast quadrant development proceeds, the soonest the
Dairy Queen would move would probably be May 1992, and then they
would only have about six months left on the lease.
Mr. Commers stated if they would only have the restriction for
approximately six months until November 1992, then he did not
have any major objection, because that would give the HRA a few
months to test the market and see what is out there. If the HRA
is able to re -lease the building before November 1992, they would
agree not to lease to a soft -serve type business. However, he
agreed with Ms. Schnabel that they don't want to restrict
themselves so they cannot lease to a business where soft -serve is
not the primary part of the business.
Mr. McFarland stated that if Mr. Fitch believes there is any real
threat or risk to his business, another alternative would be for
him to continue to make the lease payments, and the HRA would not
be able to acquire the property back for purposes of re- leasing
it. If there is no risk, then Mr. Fitch can let the lease expire
in November 1992.
Mr. Fitch stated that it is true that the non - complete clause
would only be until the lease expires in November 1992. He
stated he did not anticipate vacating the building until July,
August, or September 1992 at the earliest. The HRA is
potentially looking at only about 2 -3 months, but he would like
that protection for that period of time.
Mr. Meyer stated he is in favor of granting Mr. Fitch's request
and adding a non - compete clause to the lease until the expiration
of the lease that would limit the HRA to lease the building to
any business where the predominant use is soft -serve.
Ms. Schnabel stated that as long as the words "predominant use"
is included in the lease, then she would agree to Mr. Fitch's
request.
Mr. Fitch stated that is agreeable to him.
Mr. Commers and Mr. McFarland were also both in agreement.
Mr. Commers directed the attorney to make the necessary
amendments to the lease.
Mr. Fitch stated that paragraph 10 of the lease addresses certain
items that staff and he have agreed that he would be able to
remove from the building upon expiration or termination of the
lease. One thing that was not mentioned is a walk -in freezer
that is part of the Dairy Queen equipment that actually sits
outside the exterior of the building. The lease talks about all
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG., SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE 8
interior equipment and does not address the freezer that sits
outside. He would like the freezer incorporated with the
equipment he can take with him.
Mr. Commers stated he presumed the HRA is

Mr. Hoeft stated he will work on this with Mr. Fitch.
Chairperson Commers stated it is the consensus of the HRA to
authorize staff to negotiate with Mr. Fitch the discussed
amendments to the lease between the Fridley HRA and the Fridley
Dairy Queen.
3. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENTS TO RETURN TAX INCREMENT TO
SCHOOL DISTRICTS:
Mr. Hansen stated that in the agenda is a memo dated September 6,
1991, from Rick Pribyl and himself explaining the 1992 school
district referendum levy return agreements and the 1992 estimated
amounts based on projections given to the City by the County.
Mr. Commers stated that with the class rates being lowered, the
1992 monies could be less than these numbers. What happens if
the HRA commits to these numbers now and they change?
Mr. Hansen stated the estimated 1992 figures are based on the
class rate changes.
Ms. Dacy stated these numbers are the worst case scenario and the
market values could be reduced by tax delinquencies, court cases,
or other means.
Dr. Dennis Rens, Superintendent of School District #14, stated he
certainly appreciates the timeliness of the HRA's discussion.
These monies will affect their 1992 -93 budget and will provide
the School District with an opportunity to plan. The School
District is also highly appreciative of the HRA's actions in the
past.
MOTION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. McFarland, to approve the
School District Referendum Levy Return Agreements for the school
fiscal year 1992 -93.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Schnabel stated she would like to compliment Mr. Pribyl and
Mr. Hansen on all the work they have done and to express the
HRA's appreciation in having the work done so quickly.
Mr. Commers stated he agreed. The information is certainly in a
more understandable mode this time, and the HRA appreciates that.
4. CLAIMS AND EXPENSES:
Ms. Dacy stated that she is requesting the HRA's concurrence on
her request to attend the American Economic Development Council's
Basic Economic Development course in Tampa, Florida, on November
3 -8, 1991.
Mr. Commers stated he certainly believed it is worthwhile for Ms.
Dacy to attend this Economic Development course.
MOTION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. Meyer, to approve the
request by Barbara Dacy to attend the American Economic Develop-
ment Council's Basic Economic Development course in Tampa,
Florida, on November 3 -8, 1991.
MOTION by Mr. Meyer, seconded by Ms. Schnabel, approve the check
register (2155 -2161) dated September 6, 1991.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
5. COPY OF LETTER TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING DECERTIFYING TIF
DISTRICTS•
Mr. Commers stated this is an informational item with respect to
the issue discussed at the August HRA meeting relating to the
termination of TIF districts that are not needed for financing
economic development or redevelopment improvements. The HRA had
asked Mr. Burns to write a memo to the Council expressing the
HRA's understanding of the Council's position, but also
expressing some of the HRA's concerns. This memo was included in
the agenda.
Mr. Commers stated there is another issue regarding the
decertification, and that is the obligation the HRA has under the
existing bond indentures and the ability to transfer funds from
one district to another. He stated he would like to talk to Jim
Casserly and have Mr. Casserly let the HRA know what the
restrictions are on which districts in terms of using funds from
one district and refunding another district.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG., SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE 10
6. COPY OF CONTRACT WITH MAXFIELD RESEARCH GROUP:
Mr. Commers stated this is an informational item.
7. UPDATE ON RICE PLAZA:
Mr. Commers stated that if more tenants are going to be leaving
Rice Plaza, it might be a good idea for staff to ask Jim Kordiak
if he has some suggestions for a more aggressive program to get
more tenants into the building. Without a developer at this
time, the building could be vacant for quite some time.
8. INFORMATION ON BOB SCHROER PROJECT:
Ms. Dacy stated that Mr. Schroer and Mr. Newman are at the
meeting to introduce the HRA to the project, to talk about
financing, and to request some assistance from the HRA. Mr.
Schroer hopes to have a redevelopment contract for the HRA's
consideration at the October meeting.
Mr. Newman stated Mr. Schroer has been exploring a possible
redevelopment for some time with construction to start next
spring. Then he was approached by a prospective tenant about one
month ago, Lyndale Garden Center, who would be a joint user of
the property. Lyndale Garden Center has been around for about 60
years at 66th and Lyndale Avenue South and is the largest
independent garden center in the Twin Cities area. Lyndale
Garden Center recently opened up a new store in Burnsville. Mr.
Schroer is very comfortable with Lyndale Garden Center' expertise
and quality of business. Some years ago, Mr. Schroer operated a
garden center, then came Frank's Nursery and Malmborg's Garden
Center, so they feel there is a strong potential with the two
businesses. '
Mr. Newman stated that due to the nature of the garden center
business which is so seasonal, it is important to proceed as
quickly as possible as Lyndale Garden Center needs to be in and
open next spring. So, they are operating under a rather short
time frame.
Mr. Newman showed the updated preliminary site plan. He stated
Mr. Schroer is proposing a new 18,000 sq. ft. building. Lyndale
Garden Center would have an enclosed area of 15,000 sq. ft., a
greenhouse of 5,000 sq. ft., and an outside sell center of
approximately 40,000 sq. ft.
Mr. Newman stated they hope to have the final numbers and cost in
place within a few days. They have had some discussions with
First Star Bank for financing.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG., SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE.11
Mr. Newman stated they will also be requesting some assistance
from the HRA. It is his understanding that the HRA prefers the
"pay -as- you -go" approach.
Mr. Commers stated that this project originally only qualified
under the rehab portion so that funds, if any, would only be
available for a short period of time. It was only if the project
joined in with the project across the street that a time period
could even be talked about. What Mr. Newman is proposing is that
any additional taxes that are generated by this specific project
would be refunded to the property owners over a period of time.
Mr. Commers stated the HRA has only recently done one "pay -as-
you-go" project. The HRA's preference has always been that to
some extent they get something back from the developer as far as
the assistance they give to the developer. So, Mr. Newman and
Mr. Schroer should keep in mind that there may be different
alternatives. The HRA is very concerned about setting a
precedent with the "pay -as- you -go" approach.
ADJOURNMENT:
MOTION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. McFarland, to adjourn the
meeting. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairperson Commers
declared the motion carried unanimously and the September 12,

SUBJECT: Meeting.with Woodbridge
Jim Casserly and I met with Sue Norstrom and .Jim Utley on Thursday,
October 10, 1991. Woodbridge requested the meeting in order to ask
us questions about the appraisal and to obtain further
clarification on the elements of the HRA 's offer. It was a cordial
meeting; however, the questions and comments they had were not
unexpected, and, in fact, we anticipated most of their issues.
Norstrom started the meeting stating that she thought that the
appraisal identifying the highest and best use as a power center
constituted direction from the City that they accepted this notion.
Casserly and I promptly corrected her and stated that it is not the
case, that the appraiser was directed to conduct a highest and best
use analysis for the purposes of valuation only. Norstrom stated
that they retained the services of Dick Guidera as a consultant to
review the appraisal and give Woodbridge reactions to the proposed
offer. Guidera has advised them that because of the site's
excellent location, the poor economy should not be a significant
factor in the price per square foot. Norstrom also objected to the
eight year development cost approach that Patchin used and stated
that the offer they had from Woodmont to construct a power center
about 1 1/2 years ago was within $50,000 of Patchin's eight year
value ($6,386,243). Norstrom stated they believed the offer is a
better indicator of the value of the property.
Further, Norstrom stated that the availability of tax increment
financing creates some type of value to the property. Norstrom
reminded us that the investors in-this project are all local people
and, in some cases, pension fund investors within the metro area
and St. Cloud. Norstrom and Utley did not provide a value for the
TIF and, at one point, suggested that they would be willing to
consider sharing some of the increment if the site were bought by
the HRA and developed by another development group. Casserly and
I stated that would probably not be accepted, but we would review
that with the HRA and City Council.
Meeting with Woodbridge
October 16, 1991
Page 2
Norstrom continued Woodbridge's objection to paying half of the
cost overruns on the public improvements. She stated that their
investors won't "swallow 500" responsibility when the project was
"poorly bid" and "poorly supervised ".. While they have no
disagreement in the amount /costs of the project, Norstrom is
stating that it could have been better managed, and they should not
be held responsible for 50%'of the costs.
Norstrom stated that the City should be responsible for the cost
of the option agreements on the Hedman and Gunderson properties .
which are necessary for the traffic improvements. She stated that
there is $5,500 in earnest money on the Hedman property; the option
on that property expires August 31, 1992. The purchase agreement
on the Gunderson property was for $5,000 with the option to expire
October 31, 1992: Norstrom agreed to give Casserly copies for our
review.
Regarding the real estate taxes, Norstrom pointed out that the
taxes are based on $6,500,000, and Woodbridge has paid taxes since
1986. She stated it was inconsistent for the HRA to offer
$3,785,000 when the property is on the tax roles for $6,500,000.
She believes Woodbridge• should not have to pay any of the real
estate taxes and reiterated the position that Woodbridge should
receive something for the "increment available on the property ".
Norstrom stated -that these were questions and concepts at this time
and that they needed to formulate a final position to forward back
to us in writing. At that point, we would meet again to review
the offer.

Dear Jim:
At the September 12, 1991, meeting, the HRA asked you to provide
them with an update as to the advertising activities for the vacant
space in Rice Plaza. The next HRA meeting is October 24, 1991.
Please write the letter to my attention and discuss what tools you
have been using to advertise this space and provide a synopsis of
what type of interest, if any, you have received about the space.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Barbara Dacy

Dear Barb,
You have asked me to provide you with information on the advertising techniques used to find a
new tenant for 236 Mississippi which Norge Village vacated on June 1 st, 1991.
Immediately after they vacated I placed a "For Lease" sign in the window. At the time there were
two similar signs in another vacant bay but once it was rented they are now gone. In my
experience, that of my fathers and as a result of discussions with other real estate agents signs
rent space better then any other technique. Window and lot signs are the most common method I
use to advertise space available.
I will however promptly place additional signed in the vacant unit to increase visibility as the
other signs are now gone.
If the board would recommend it I can prepare an ad for the newspaper advertising the
availability of this space. While my past response on an ad has never been very good it can be
successful.
I have called an arwlaundromat owner and a comoanv which owns numerous laundromats in the
Twin Cities for information and advise on that market. While the space is all plumbed for a
laundry prospects do not seem real good for finding a similar tenant use for the space. As I do
not expect that the next tenant will be in that business considerable improvements may have to
be made to the bay to prepare it for future use.
I have had several calls with inquires on the space. Most were not viable prospective tenants.
Two inquires were more serious however they have not resulted in a successful rental.
If the board has any special requests for promotion of the space I would be happy to operate.
Generally the rental market is slow right now and while this property has its own peculiarities
which make it difficult to rent it is in a good location, with great visibility and a reasonable
rental rate.
Sincerely,
P�m -
Jim Kordiak

At the September 12, 1991, HRA meeting, the HRA asked Jim Hoeft to

Hoeft has reviewed the file and determined that there were no
personal guarantees required. We will be receiving the $17,500
check within the next week. After receipt of the check, we will

SUBJECT: Status of the Dairy Queen Lease
After the September 12, 1991, HRA meeting, we revised the Dairy
Queen lease according to the HRA's direction.
raph 22 of the lease states that the HRA will not re -lease the
ses to another tenant whose business is �'nrimarily a sa P
of —so-ft-serve ice cream roducts". This provision is not
applica e, however, if the lease is terminated because of the
lessee's default of any terms or conditions of the lease.
The HRA also agreed to pay for one -half of the premium costs for
insurance on the improvements, fixtures, ana eUUipment. The lat er
por ion of paragraph 5 a dresses this issue. Hoeft reviewed
Fetch's insurance policy after the Ai A ^meeting, and the HRA was
added to the insurance to the policy. Note that paragraph 7
provides for a 30 day notice to be given to the HRA by the
insurance company prior to cancellation.
Clyde Wiley also inspected the air conditioner and furnace. The
air conditioner appears to be in good condition. The furnace is
showing its age and is rusting. Wiley advised that replacement
two ld probable cost $4_00,__if� needed. The lease assigns repair
responsi�i ity to Fitch and replacement to the HRA. The furnace
is not used extensively because the operation is closed during the
coldest months of the year.
The attached copy was given to Don Fitch on October 16, 1991, and
we anticipate that it will be executed in the near future.

PATENT, COPYRIGHT
AND TRADEMARK LAW
Thank you for your correspondence of September 26, 1991. I take
issue with your statement that the potential move of the franchise
to the 10,000 Auto Parts site will greatly impact the proceedings
in front of the Commissioners. The law is quite clear that through
the condemnation process the Fitch's are entitled to the fair
market value for the land and any improvements thereon. They are
not entitled to compensation for any value related to the ongoing
nature of the business. If it is Mr. Fitch's argument that if the
10,000 Auto Parts site is not available for relocation and that
therefore he will effectively be put out of business, please be
advised that before your representation I had discussed that matter
with Mr. Fitch and had informed him that upon review of his
franchise agreement there is a huge area in which Mr. Fitch can
relocate his Dairy Queen operation and remain within the present
structure of his franchise agreement. If American Dairy Queen
refuses to let Mr. Fitch relocate within the area designated by the
existing franchise agreement, then Mr. Fitch's dispute is with
American Dairy Queen and not the Fridley HRA. As you know, Mr.
Fitch is entitled to appropriate relocation costs pursuant to
statute. The relocation expense for any location within the
existing franchise agreement would entail no more expense than that
for the potential 10,000 Auto Parts site.
The Fridley HRA does not wish to see this matter unnecessarily
delayed. However, the HRA is also willing to work with your client
and has shown great patience and deference to him to date.
Accordingly, I will be arranging a continuance of the Commissioners
Hearing for a period no greater than 30 days subsequent to the
Columbia Heights Office Anoka Office

existing date. My office will coordinate the rescheduling of the
meeting and provide you with notice of the new hearing date.
Please be advised that if it is your client's intention to seek a
continuance in excess of the 30 days as referenced herein, the HRA
will oppose such request both informally and through proper
responsive documentation to the Court on any motion therefore.
Sincerely,.

Dear Mr. Hoeft,
P. 4
AdIeeEivED,
SEP 2 71991
801A, GIVY & STERV U101.
I have withheld responding to your inquiry regarding possible
hearing dates awaiting news regarding the financing commitment
for the developer on the 10,000 Auto Parts site. As you are
aware, Mr. Pitch has been negotiating to move his franchise to
the 10,000 Auto Parts site.
I apologize for not contacting you sooner but I understood that
the financing would be finalized in the fairly near future.
I understand that two of the Commissioners conducted a viewing of
the Fitch's store on September 26, 1991, and advised Judy Fitch
that* they would have no difficulty in extending the time for the
Commissioners Hearing. Since the potential move of the franchise
will greatly impact the proceedings in the front of the
postponednuntil a determination rmina ion has been made ion ethe viability of
postponed
the 10,000 Auto Parts site.
I appreciate your cooperation.

SUBJECT: Statement from Peter J. Patchin
As attested to by the attached letter, there are some problems with
the statement sent to us by Patchin & Associates, Inc., in the
amount of $1,126.65. The bill reportedly covers time Mr. Patchin
spent in a 2; hour meeting with Barbara Dacy and Jim Casserly, as
well as for other work Mr. Patchin and Mr. Joe Mako performed on
our behalf in late July.
After discussing this matter with Barbara and Jim, the HRA and the
City have reason to believe that the work that was performed should
have been covered by the original contract cost of $5,700. Unless
the HRA directs otherwise, I will continue to take this position
with Mr. Patchin.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Patchin:
Thank you for your letter of October 10, 1991, explaining your
position regarding your statement for services rendered to the City
of Fridley. Since we had our telephone conversation, I have spoken
to both Barbara Dacy and Jim Casserly, and they remain of the
opinion that the work for which we were billed occurred prior to
the delivery of the final draft of the Lake Pointe appraisal. They
also share my opinion that it was their understanding that this
work was part of the work product that should have been covered by
the original contract price.
There are several specifics that support our position. They are
as follows:
1. During the meeting that was held in Barbara Dacy' s of f ice
on March 14, 1991, we requested that the appraisal be
delivered by May 1, 1991, and that the City receive a
draft for discussion prior to the delivery of the final
report.
2. We received the appraisal considerably after May 1, 1991,
and it was marked "draft." I believe it was clearly
understood that there was to be a final copy that would
follow.
3. There is nothing in either the memorandum from Barbara
Dacy or the letter from Jim Casserly that would require
doing additional computer work. Mr. Casserly simply
asked you to consider two different arguments that might
be raised to contest your appraisal conclusions.

Mr. Peter J. Patchin
October 16, 1991

Even if you had initiated a computer run using Mr.
Casserly's suggested discount rate, it should have only
taken a very short period of time.
4. There is nothing in your response to Mr. Casserly that
would indicate that either you or members of your firm
spent considerable time responding to his concerns.
While we object to your bill, we do appreciate the quality of the
appraisal you did for us, and hope that we can work amicably with
you on future projects.
Sincerely,

MOTION by Mr. Meyer, seconded by Ms. Schnabel, to approve the
August 8, 1991, Housing & Redevelopment Authority minutes as
written.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF SECOND MORTGAGE SATISFACTION FOR
FRIDLEY PLAZA OFFICE BUILDING:
Mr. Commers stated the HRA has received a memo from Mr. Burns
relative to negotiations that have been ongoing with respect to
the amount of the second mortgage that currently exists with the
Fridley Plaza Office Building. It is staff's recommendation
that, although neither the staff or the HRA are too happy about
this under these circumstances, the HRA approve the satisfaction
of the second mortgage for the Fridley Plaza Office building.
Mr. McFarland asked if there are any personal guarantees on this
property.
Mr. Hoeft stated that in checking the files, he did not believe
there are any notes or personal guarantees.
HOUSING& REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG. , SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE 2
Mr. Commers stated that Mr. McFarland brings up a good point. If
they approve the second mortgage satisfaction now before knowing
for sure if there are any guarantees, will there be any problem?
Mr. Hoeft stated, no, the HRA would not be compromising any
guarantee rights by approving the second mortgage satisfaction.
Mr. Commers stated that legal counsel will be able to find that
out within a couple of days, and maybe the HRA should approve the
second mortgage satisfaction contingent upon being satisfied that
either there are no personal guarantees; or, if there are, this
does not foreclose or cause any problems in pursuing the original
managers on any guarantees that might exist.
Mr. Hoeft stated he should know this for certain by September 17
or 18.
Ms. Dacy stated the City will not record the mortgage satis-
faction until the check is received.
Mr. Meyer asked what kind of precedent this sets for any other
second mortgage positions that the HRA has.
Mr. Hoeft stated he thought that the circumstances in this case,
the way the mortgagee's interest was bought out in that
transaction and in relation to the rest of the HRA's ongoing
projects, is something that will probably not happen again.
Regarding any other second mortgage position, when the HRA goes
into that position, the HRA has to know that it is either taking
that secondary position or re-enforcing that position through
some outside guarantees of individuals or partnerships or
corporations.
Mr. Commers stated that just because they do something, does not
mean they have to do it again. Each decision made by the HRA is
independent, and by doing this they are not intending to set a
precedent for anyone else.
MOTION by Mr. Meyer, seconded by Mr. McFarland, to approve the
satisfaction of the second mortgage for the Fridley Plaza Office
building upon receipt of a check in the amount of $17 , 500, and
contingent upon being satisfied that either there are no personal
guarantees; or, if there are, this does not foreclose or cause
any problems in pursuing the original managers on any guarantees
that might exist.
Ms. Schnabel stated she is very unhappy about this situation. It
is very unfortunate that the HRA has to face this kind of
situation, and she is very unhappy that these next door neighbors
expect the HRA to capitulate on the second mortgage. It bothers
her because of the HRA's position and because of the HRA' s help
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG.-, SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE 3 --
initially in improvements to the building. She stated she will
vote against this motion.
Mr. Commers stated there is truth to Ms. Schnabel 's statements,
and this is something the HRA should keep in mind as they are
approached about taking second mortgage positions in other
projects.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, COMMERS, MEYER, AND MCFARLAND VOTING AYE,
SCHNABEL VOTING NAY, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED ON A 3-1 VOTE.
2. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND LEASE
AGREEMENT WITH DON FITCH, FRIDLEY DAIRY QUEEN:
Mr. Commers stated that a memo from Barbara Dacy dated September
6, 1991, outlines some suggested changes to the lease. At the
meeting, the HRA received an updated list of changes.
Mr. Dacy stated that in the hand-out at the meeting, items 1, 2,
3, 4 , and 6 are suggested changes that staff recommends the HRA
consider approving. The items of most concern are items 5, 7,
and 8 .
Mr. Commers stated that regarding the heating, ventilation, and
air conditioning, does the HRA have the right to elect not to
replace them if they quit working and then terminate the lease?
Ms. Dacy stated that has been discussed at length with Mr. Fitch.
Staff is proposing that he would be responsible for any or all
repairs. However, as far as any replacement of items, the only
items the HRA would be replacing would be the furnace or air
conditioner.
Mr. Commers stated the rent the HRA is charging would not make it
feasible to replace a furnace or air conditioner. If one of
these items malfunctions and the HRA is not in an economic
position to replace that furnace or air conditioner, the HRA
should be able to elect to either continue the lease or terminate
the lease.
Ms. Dacy stated the HRA can do that if they choose. Because the
Dairy Queen is a seasonable business, the furnace has not been
used too much; and she understood from Mr. Fitch that the air
conditioner is in good condition. During the course of the
negotiations, it was agreed that Mr. Fitch will be responsible
for rent, utilities, taxes, ground maintenance, equipment repair,
but he has requested that he not be responsible for the furnace
or air, conditioner.
Mr. Commers asked if someone can inspect the furnace and air
conditioner to see what condition they are in. If they are in
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG. , SEPT- 12, -1991 PAGE 4
good condition, then he would assume there shouldn't be any big
problems and they can take the risk for the next 1 1/2 years.
Mr. Fitch stated the air conditioner is only 10 years old and the
furnace is 15 years old, so both are relatively new. He stated
he is not opposed to having someone from the City inspect the air
conditioner and furnace.
Mr. Fitch stated he can delete item 5. In Paragraph 11 of the
lease, he was requesting that the phrase beginning with the word
"caused" be deleted. He believed that if, in the extreme case,
one of his employees is killed as a result of the HRA's action to
repair, he should not sign away his right to sue the HRA. He
stated that in talking with the HRA's legal counsel, his concerns
have been satisfied.
Ms. Dacy stated the item that needs to be discussed is item 7,
regarding insurance coverage on the building. When the HRA took
title to the property at the end of July, the Dairy Queen
property was added as a temporary binder on the current policy
the HRA has with Rice Plaza. However, the insurance agent
notified staff that because the Dairy Queen is a seasonal
operation, they will not carry that particular building. An
annual policy will cost the HRA about $800, with a $5, 000
deductible. Mr. Fitch wants to continue his current building
policy, but his policy would be amended to name both the HRA and
himself as insured. The deductible on the policy would be $250.
That leaves an extra cost of $500 for the insurance, and Mr.
Fitch is proposing that the HRA split that cost on a 50/50 basis.
Ms. Dacy stated the temporary binder expires at midnight on
Friday, September 13 , 1991, so they would have to proceed with a
pro-rated cost for the remainder of this year plus 1992 . It is
significantly cheaper to go along with Mr. Fitch's suggestion.
Mr. Commers asked Mr. Hoeft if he had looked at Mr. Fitch's
policy.
Mr. Hoeft stated he had not yet had a chance to look at the
policy. He will review the policy and make sure the HRA is named
as the ensured on the policy.
Mr. Commers stated this appeared to be a logical thing to do as
long as the policy is reviewed by legal counsel and it gives the
HRA the necessary coverage.
Ms. Dacy stated the HRA's consultant, Conway Olson, also
recommended this approach.
Ms. Dacy stated that in item 9 (Paragraph 7 of the lease) , the
lease should be amended to read that there be a 30 day notice of
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG. , SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE 5
cancellation instead of the 10 day notice. Mr. Burns also
recommended approval.
Ms. Dacy stated that leaves item 8. Mr. Fitch wants the HRA not
to re-lease the building to another soft-serve operation after he
leaves.
Mr. Fitch stated item 8 has one primary purpose. He stated he is
hoping he will be able to move across the street to the Fridley
Town Square so he did not think they are looking at the lease
with the Dairy Queen as a long term lease. He stated it was
never his intention to leave his present location. He has been
there 25+ years and has built up a superb reputation for
distributing soft-serve items. He would like to have a non-
competing clause in both the lease and the settlement when they
come to terms on the sale from the Dairy Queen. He did not think
it is in his best interest for the City to use the reputation of
that location as a purveyor of soft-serve treats to put a
competing business in there when he is just moving across the
street. He and his wife do not care what type of business goes
into that location, but they prefer that the business not be
mistaken as a Dairy Queen. They would like this incorporated as
part of the lease and settlement.
Mr. Commers stated that if the HRA does this and the HRA
terminates the lease, then it not going to be an issue; however,
if Mr. Fitch terminates the lease, the HRA has essentially a one-
use building and he did not know how adaptable the building is
for other uses.
Mr. Meyer stated he understood Mr. Fitch's feelings about this
issue; but from a realistic standpoint, does the HRA as a public
body have any right to write in such a clause?
Mr. Hoeft stated that, yes, the HRA can limit the type of
business for that building. Regarding the question, is the
building adaptable to any other use or are they cutting off any
other use for that property, that is a policy situation.
Mr. Commers stated it is a risk that the HRA does not need to
take and reduces the value of the building. The building is not
worth as much if they have to assume that risk. That has a
bearing on the fair market value of the building. They could be
stuck with a building they cannot rent or lease, or, if they can
rent or lease it, it might be at a rent less than fair market
value. He stated this is a difficult issue.
Ms. Dacy stated that some of this might be solved if the
northeast quadrant is redeveloped and Mr. Fitch can relocate
there. It is even possible that the HRA would not be able to re-
lease the building to another soft-serve business because the
Dairy Queen would be in the general vicinity. It is staff' s
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG. , SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE 6
recommendation that it would not be prudent for the HRA to tie
its hands by putting that kind of clause in the lease at this
time.
Mr. Meyer stated he can understand this concern, but he did not
think it has a lot of validity and logic. It is his feeling that
they would be pursuing a very fine point, and he would be willing
to go ahead and put the clause in the lease.
Mr. Fitch stated his request is only for the building as it
exists now. If the building is torn down and there is new
development, then anything can be developed. His request only
surfaces around the aspect of identification, especially with the
red roof being maintained on the building.
Mr. Commers asked Mr. Fitch if he would have any objection if the
roof was painted a different color.
Mr. Fitch stated he would not have as big a concern if the roof
was a different color. However, he still has some concerns
because of the way this whole process has taken place, and that
it was not he and his wife's choice to relocate. He still has
some reservations about another soft-serve operation locating in
the building, but not as many if the roof is painted a different
color.
Ms. Schnabel stated that virtually every major fast-food business
is now serving some type of soft-serve ice cream and yogurt.
What concerns her is that because of the "soft-serve" definition,
would the HRA be locking themselves into something they cannot
manage once Mr. Fitch and his business moves? That is the
problem she sees with Mr. Fitch' s request.
Mr. Fitch stated it has been brought up that there is a different
fair market value for the property because it cannot be used for
the potential soft-serve type businesses it was designed for. By
the same token so far, the market valuation on this property was
set not as a Dairy Queen but what it would be as something else.
The purchase price was ultimately set on the basis of it being a
Dairy Queen and the marketability of it being a soft-serve and
the reputation it has. They can eliminate any problems with the
lease if the purchase price of the property is substantially
larger than currently proposed. If he is paid for the value of
the property being a soft-serve Dairy Queen location, then he has
no problem with the HRA leasing it to another soft-serve
business. But, as currently proposed, the property is not being
valued on that specific type of use. It is being valued as a
general piece of property with a little building on it.
Mr. Commers stated the property is valued at its highest and best
use. It may be even valued higher than the use as a Dairy Queen.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG. , SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE 7
Mr. McFarland stated the lease expires in November 1992 . Can the
terms of the lease be binding after the expiration of the lease?
If the northeast quadrant development proceeds, the soonest the
Dairy Queen would move would probably be May 1992 , and then they
would only have about six months left on the lease.
Mr. Commers stated if they would only have the restriction for
approximately six months until November 1992, then he did not
have any major objection, because that would give the HRA a few
months to test the market and see what is out there. If the HRA
is able to re-lease the building before November 1992, they would
agree not to lease to a soft-serve type business. However, he
agreed with Ms. Schnabel that they don't want to restrict
themselves so they cannot lease to a business where soft-serve is
not the primary part of the business.
Mr. McFarland stated that if Mr. Fitch believes there is any real
threat or risk to his business, another alternative would be for
him to continue to make the lease payments, and the HRA would not
be able to acquire the property back for purposes of re-leasing
it. If there is no risk, then Mr. Fitch can let the lease expire
in November 1992 .
Mr. Fitch stated that it is true that the non-complete clause
would only be until the lease expires in November 1992 . He
stated he did not anticipate vacating the building until July,
August, or September 1992 at the earliest. The HRA is
potentially looking at only about 2-3 months, but he would like
that protection for that period of time.
Mr. Meyer stated he is in favor of granting Mr. Fitch' s request
and adding a non-compete clause to the lease until the expiration
of the lease that would limit the HRA to lease the building to
any business where the predominant use is soft-serve.
Ms. Schnabel stated that as long as the words "predominant use"
is included in the lease, then she would agree to Mr. Fitch's
request.
Mr. Fitch stated that is agreeable to him.
Mr. Commers and Mr. McFarland were also both in agreement.
Mr. Commers directed the attorney to make the necessary
amendments to the lease.
Mr. Fitch stated that paragraph 10 of the lease addresses certain
items that staff and he have agreed that he would be able to
remove from the building upon expiration or termination of the
lease. One thing that was not mentioned is a walk-in freezer
that is part of the Dairy Queen equipment that actually sits
outside the exterior of the building. The lease talks about all
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG. , SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE 8
interior equipment and does not address the freezer that sits
outside. He would like the freezer incorporated with the
equipment he can take with him.
Mr. Commers stated he presumed the HRA is paying Mr. Fitch for
the pylon sign, the fencing, storage shed, and walk-in freezer.
He stated Mr. Fitch should be able to take the freezer with him;
however, if he takes the freezer, then the HRA will not pay him
for it. The same is true for the removal of the sign, deck
fencing, interior cupboards, etc. If Mr. Fitch wants to take
them, then the HRA will not pay for them.
Mr. Fitch stated that is agreeable to him.
Mr. Hoeft stated he will work on this with Mr. Fitch.
Chairperson Commers stated it is the consensus of the HRA to
authorize staff to negotiate with Mr. Fitch the discussed
amendments to the lease between the Fridley HRA and the Fridley
Dairy Queen.
3. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENTS TO RETURN TAX INCREMENT TO
SCHOOL DISTRICTS:
Mr. Hansen stated that in the agenda is a memo dated September 6,
1991, from Rick Pribyl and himself explaining the 1992 school
district referendum levy return agreements and the 1992 estimated
amounts based on projections given to the City by the County.
Mr. Commers stated that with the class rates being lowered, the
1992 monies could be less than these numbers. What happens if
the HRA commits to these numbers now and they change?
Mr. Hansen stated the estimated 1992 figures are based on the
class rate changes.
Ms. Dacy stated these numbers are the worst case scenario and the
market values could be reduced by tax delinquencies, court cases,
or other means.
Dr. Dennis Rens, Superintendent of School District #14 , stated he
certainly appreciates the timeliness of the HRA's discussion.
These monies will affect their 1992-93 budget and will provide
the School District with an opportunity to plan. The School
District is also highly appreciative of the HRA's actions in the
past.
MOTION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. McFarland, to approve the
School District Referendum Levy Return Agreements for the school
fiscal year 1992-93 .
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG. , SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE 9
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Schnabel stated she would like to compliment Mr. Pribyl and
Mr. Hansen on all the work they have done and to express the
HRA's appreciation in having the work done so quickly.
Mr. Commers stated he agreed. The information is certainly in a
more understandable mode this time, and the HRA appreciates that.
4 . CLAIMS AND EXPENSES:
Ms. Dacy stated that she is requesting the HRA's concurrence on
her request to attend the American Economic Development Council 's
Basic Economic Development course in Tampa, Florida, on November
3-8 , 1991.
Mr. Commers stated he certainly believed it is worthwhile for Ms.
Dacy to attend this Economic Development course.
MOTION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. Meyer, to approve the
request by Barbara Dacy to attend the American Economic Develop-
ment Council ' s Basic Economic Development course in. Tampa,
Florida, on November 3-8, 1991.
MOTION by Mr. Meyer, seconded by Ms. Schnabel, approve the check
register (2155-2161) dated September 6, 1991.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
5. COPY OF LETTER TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING DECERTIFYING TIF
DISTRICTS:
Mr. Commers stated this is an informational item with respect to
the issue discussed at the August HRA meeting relating to the
termination of TIF districts that are not needed for financing
economic development or redevelopment improvements. The HRA had
asked Mr. Burns to write a memo to the Council expressing the
HRA' s understanding of the Council 's position, but also
expressing some of the HRA' s concerns. This memo was included in
the agenda.
Mr. Commers stated there is another issue regarding the
decertification, and that is the obligation the HRA has under the
existing bond indentures and the ability to transfer funds from
one district to another. He stated he would like to talk to Jim
Casserly and have Mr. Casserly let the HRA know what the
restrictions are on which districts in terms of using funds from
one district and refunding another district.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG. , SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE 10
6. COPY OF CONTRACT WITH MAXFIELD RESEARCH GROUP:
Mr. Commers stated this is an informational item.
7. UPDATE ON RICE PLAZA:
Mr. Commers stated that if more tenants are going to be leaving
Rice Plaza, it might be a good idea for staff to ask Jim Kordiak
if he has some suggestions for a more aggressive program to get
more tenants into the building. Without a developer at this
time, the building could be vacant for quite some time.
8. INFORMATION ON BOB SCHROER PROJECT:
Ms. Dacy stated that Mr. Schroer and Mr. Newman are at the
meeting to introduce the HRA to the project, to talk about
financing, and to request some assistance from the HRA. Mr.
Schroer hopes to have a redevelopment contract for the HRA's
consideration at the October meeting.
Mr. Newman stated Mr. Schroer has been exploring a possible
redevelopment for some time with construction to start next
spring. Then he was approached by a prospective tenant about one
month ago, Lyndale Garden Center, who would be a joint user of
the property. Lyndale Garden Center has been around for about 60
years at 66th and Lyndale Avenue South and is the largest
independent garden center in the Twin Cities area. Lyndale
Garden Center recently opened up a new store in Burnsville. Mr.
Schroer is very comfortable with Lyndale Garden Center' expertise
and quality of business. Some years ago, Mr. Schroer operated a
garden center, then came Frank's Nursery and Malmborg's Garden
Center, so they feel there is a strong potential with the two
businesses.
Mr. Newman stated that due to the nature of the garden center
business which is so seasonal, it is important to proceed as
quickly as possible as Lyndale Garden Center needs to be in and
open next spring. -So, they are operating under a rather short
time frame.
Mr. Newman showed the updated preliminary site plan. He stated
Mr. Schroer is proposing a new 18, 000 sq. ft. building. Lyndale
Garden Center would have an enclosed area of 15, 000 sq. ft. , a
greenhouse of 5, 000 sq. ft. , and an outside sell center of
approximately 40, 000 sq. ft.
Mr. Newman stated they hope to have the final numbers and cost in
place within a few days. They have had some discussions with
First Star Bank for financing.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG. , SEPT. 12, 1991 PAGE 11
Mr. Newman stated they will also be requesting some assistance
from the HRA. It is his understanding that the HRA prefers the
"pay-as-you-go" approach.
Mr. Commers stated that this project originally only qualified
under the rehab portion so that funds, if any, would only be
available for a short period of time. It was only if the project
joined in with the project across the street that a time period
could even be talked about. What Mr. Newman is proposing is that
any additional taxes that are generated by this specific project
would be refunded to the property owners over a period of time.
Mr. Commers stated the HRA has only recently done one "pay-as-
you-go" project. The HRA's preference has always been that to
some extent they get something back from the developer as far as
the assistance they give to the developer. So, Mr. Newman and
Mr. Schroer should keep in mind that there may be different
alternatives. The HRA is very concerned about setting a
precedent with the "pay-as-you-go" approach.
ADJOURNMENT:
MOTION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. McFarland, to adjourn the
meeting. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairperson Commers
declared the motion carried unanimously and the September 12 ,
1991, Housing and Redevelopment Authority adjourned at 9:05 p.m.

DATE: October 17, 1991
SUBJECT: Bob's Produce Proposal
Jim Casserly and I have been working on the proposal for Bob' s
Produce during the past couple of weeks, and the culmination of our
efforts is listed on the attached outline.
At our October 24 , 1991, meeting you will be asked to review the
Bob's Produce proposal and to provide conceptual approval for the
terms of the tax increment financing agreement which will be
presented at another meeting.
While we considered means by which the HRA might recapture a
portion of the tax increment value for this project, our proposal
does not include a recapture provision. Should the HRA desire to .
pursue this, we will be prepared on Thursday to discuss that.
We think that the present value of the benefit to the total project
cost is in keeping with past tax increment assistance for other
projects. We also feel strongly that the use of tax increment
financing for this project is consistent with our development
goals, as well as with the terms of tax increment financing laws.
Staff recommends the terms of the Bob's Produce proposal as
contained in the attached outline.
Thank you.

Dear Jim:
At the September 12, 1991, meeting, the HRA asked you to provide
them with an update as to the advertising activities for the vacant
space in Rice Plaza. The next HRA meeting is October 24, 1991.
Please write the letter to my attention and discuss what tools you
have been using to advertise this space and provide a synopsis of
what type of interest, if any, you have received about the space.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Barbara Dacy

• Dear Barb,
You have asked me to provide you with information on the advertising techniques used to find a
new tenant for 236 Mississippi which Norge Village vacated on June 1st, 1991.
Immediately after they vacated I placed a "For Lease" sign in the window. At the time there were
two similar signs in another vacant bay but once it was rented they are now gone. In my
experience, that of my fathers and as a result of discussions with other real estate agents signs
rent space better then any other technique. Window and lot signs are the most common method I
use to advertise space available.
I will however promptly place additional signage in the vacant unit to increase visibility as the
other signs are now gone.
If the board would recommend it I can prepare an ad for the newspaper advertising the
availability of this space. While my past response on an ad has never been very good it can be
successful.
I have called an area laundromat owner and a company which owns numerous Laundromats in the
Twin Cities for information and advise on that market. While the space is all plumbed for a
laundry prospects do not seem real good for finding a similar tenant use for the space. As I do
not expect that the next tenant will be in that business considerable improvements may have to
be made to the bay to prepare it for future use.
I have had several calls with inquires on the space. Most were not viable prospective tenants.
Two inquires were more serious however they have not resulted in a successful rental.
If the board has any special reauests for promotion of the space I would be happy to cooperate.
Generally the rental market is slow right now and while this property has its own peculiarities
which make it difficult to rent it is in a good location, with great visibility and a reasonable
rental rate.
Sincerely,
•

SUBJECT: Update on Fridley Plaza Office Building
Second Mortgage
At the September 12, 1991, HRA meeting, the HRA asked Jim Hoeft to
investigate whether or not personal guarantees were provided to
secure the second mortgage on the Fridley Plaza Office Building.
Hoeft has reviewed the file and determined that there were no
personal guarantees required. We will be receiving the $17, 500
check within the next week. After receipt of the check, we will
be recording the mortgage satisfaction document.

DATE: October 16., 1991
TO: William Burns, Executive Director of HRA
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Status of the Dairy Queen Lease
After the September 12, 1991, HRA meeting, we revised the Dairy
Queen lease according to the HRA's direction.
Paragraph 22 of the lease states that the HRA will not re-lease the
premises to another tenant whose business is "primarily the sale
of soft-serve ice cream products". This provision is not
applicable, however, if the lease is terminated because of the
lessee's default of any terms or conditions of the lease.
The HRA also agreed to pay for one-half of the premium costs for
insurance on the improvements, fixtures, and equipment. The latter
portion of paragraph 5 addresses this issue. Hoeft reviewed
Fitch's insurance policy after the HRA meeting, and the HRA was
added to the insurance to the policy. Note that paragraph 7
provides for a 30 day notice to be given to the HRA _by the
insurance company prior to cancellation.
Clyde Wiley also inspected the air conditioner and furnace. The
air conditioner appears to be in good condition. The furnace is
showing its age and is rusting. Wiley advised that replacement
would probably cost $400, if needed. The lease assigns repair
responsibility to Fitch and replacement to the HRA. The furnace
is not used extensively because the operation is closed during the
coldest months of the year.
The attached copy was given to Don Fitch on October 16, 1991, and
we anticipate that it will be executed in the near future.

• RE: Fridley HRA v. Fitch
Your File No. 3561-02
Dear Mr. Martinson:
Thank you for your correspondence of September 26, 1991. I take
issue with your statement that the potential move of the franchise
to the 10,000 Auto Parts site will greatly impact the proceedings
in front of the Commissioners. The law is quite clear that through
the condemnation process the Fitch's are entitled to the fair
market value for the land and any improvements thereon. They are
not entitled to compensation for any value related to the ongoing
nature of the business. If it is Mr. Fitch's argument that if the
10,000 Auto Parts site is not available for relocation and that
therefore he will effectively be put out of business, please be
advised that before your representation I had discussed that matter
with Mr. Fitch and had informed him that upon review of his
franchise agreement there is a huge area in which Mr. Fitch can
relocate his Dairy Queen operation and remain within the present
structure of his franchise agreement. If American Dairy Queen
refuses to let Mr. Fitch relocate within the area designated by the
• existing franchise agreement, then Mr. Fitch's dispute is with
American Dairy Queen and not the Fridley HRA. As you know, Mr.
Fitch is entitled to appropriate relocation costs pursuant to
statute. The relocation expense for any location within the
existing franchise agreement would entail no more expense than that
for the potential 10,000 Auto Parts site.
The Fridley HRA does not wish to see this matter unnecessarily
delayed. However, the HRA is also willing to work with your client
and has shown great patience and deference to him to date.
Accordingly, I will be arranging a continuance of the Commissioners
Hearing for a period no greater than 30 days subsequent to the
Columbia Heights Office Anoka Office

existing date. My office will coordinate the rescheduling of the
meeting and provide you with notice of the new hearing date.
Please be advised that if it is your client's intention to seek a
continuance in excess of the 30 days as referenced herein, the HRA
will oppose such request both informally and through proper
responsive documentation to the Court on any motion therefore.

Re: Fridley IIRA v. Fitch
Our File No. 3561-02
Dear Mr. Hoeft:
I have withheld responding to your inquiry regarding possible
hearing dates awaiting news regarding the financing commitment
for the developer on the 10,000 Auto Parts site. As you are
aware, Mr. Fitch has been negotiating to move his franchise to
the 10 ,000 Auto Parts site.
i apologize for not contacting you sooner but I understood that
the financing would be finalized in the fairly near future.
I understand that two of the Commissioners conducted a viewing of
the Fitch' s store on September 26, 1991, and advised Judy Fitch
that they would have no difficulty in extending the time for the
Commissioners Hearing. Since the potential move of the franchise
will greatly impact the proceedings in the front of the
poners, I ruest that the until a det rmina ion has been ma i
oner' s Hearing be
postponed
de on the viability of
the 10,000 Auto Parts site.
I appreciate your cooperation.
Very truly yours,

DATE: October 17, 1991
SUBJECT: Statement from Peter J. Patchin
As attested to by the attached letter, there are some problems with
the statement sent to us by Patchin & Associates, Inc. , in the
amount of $1,126.65. The bill reportedly covers time Mr. Patchin
spent in a 21 hour meeting with Barbara Dacy and Jim Casserly, as
well as for other work Mr. Patchin and Mr. Joe Mako performed on
our behalf in late July.
After discussing this matter with Barbara and Jim, the HRA and the
City have reason to believe that the work that was performed should
have been covered by the original contract cost of $5,700. Unless
the HRA directs otherwise, I will continue to take this position
with Mr. Patchin.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Patchin:
Thank you for your letter of October 10, 1991, explaining your
position regarding your statement for services rendered to the City
of Fridley. Since we had our telephone conversation, I have spoken
to both Barbara Dacy and Jim Casserly, and they remain of the
opinion that the work for which we were billed occurred prior to
the delivery of the final draft of the Lake Pointe appraisal. They
also share my opinion that it was their understanding that this
work was part of the work product that should have been covered by
the original contract price.
There are several specifics that support our position. They are
as follows:
1. During the meeting that was held in Barbara Dacy's office
on March 14, 1991, we requested that the appraisal be
delivered by May 1, 1991, and that the City receive a
draft for discussion prior to the delivery of the final
report.
2. We received the appraisal considerably after May 1, 1991,
and it was marked "draft. " I believe it was clearly
understood that there was to be a final copy that would
follow.
3. There is nothing in either the memorandum from Barbara
Dacy or the letter from Jim Casserly that would require
doing additional computer work. Mr. Casserly simply
asked you to consider two different arguments that might
be raised to contest your appraisal conclusions.
7_B
Mr. Peter J. Patchin
October 16, 1991
Page Two
Even if you had initiated a computer run using Mr.
Casserly's suggested discount rate, it should have only
taken a very short period of time.
4. There is nothing in your response to Mr. Casserly that
would indicate that either you or members of your firm
spent considerable time responding to his concerns.
While we object to your bill, we do appreciate the quality of the
appraisal you did for us, and hope that we can work amicably with
you on future projects.
Sincerely,
William W. Burns
City Manager
