RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT WITH WHITNEY HOMES. INC. (FORMERLY TOLLEFSON HOMES) FOR 677 HUGO STREET, 539 GLENCOE STREET AND 547 GLENCOE STREET Mr. Meyer stated the bid was awarded to Tollefson Homes who was the low bidder. Tollefson Homes has now changed their name. Does this change of company name create any legal problems? Mr. Fernelius stated he had discussed this with Mr. Hoeft who saw no problem. Mr. Hoeft called the state and determined this is a company in good standing. There is no problem with this company or with the name change. Mr. Meyer asked if there was any problem with the fact that the price changed. Is there any problem for the HRA? ^ Mr. Casserly stated the HRA did not have to publicly bid. HRA did an ad hoc procedure and he felt the HRA had all the 1 latitude they wanted to accept, change and/or modify. This The is HOIISING & REDEVELOPMENT AIITHORITY 1KEETING. MAY 11, 1995 PAt3E 2 ,� not like bidding for a public improvement project. Ms. Dacy stated, at the last meeting, Tollefson had the successful proposal for the first three lots. The HRA held the remaining lots and asked staff to negotiate with Tollefson. These lots are a product of that direction. She thought this was fine because staff was operating under the direction of the HRA. Ms. Schnabel stated there is probably a paper trail that exists for the company and the change of name. Ms. Schnabel asked, if the HRA approves the consent agenda, would this automatically approve the home designs as well. Ms. Dacy stated yes. Mr. Meyer asked if the home designs give the specifications for construction. It would be good to remind them or the City building inspector that the Minnesota state building code does require vertical reinforcing steel in basement block walls for homes. Some inspectors do not know this yet. 2. � 3. 4. 5.

This afternoon, Mr. Wruck contacted her office to table this item for action at the June meeting. She had spoken to Mr. Wruck and told him of the conversation she had with Chairperson Commers and the recommendation of the Executive Director. Both were concerned about this request and were concerned about establishing a new priority for discretionary funds when the HRA is already identifying housing and redevelopment sites for priority. She advised Mr. Wruck that he should be aware that staff's recommendation would be to recommend denial of the request. Mr. Wruck then contacted Mr. Harris and came back requesting to table this item. They will be contacting the Executive Director to meet with him. MOTION by Mr. McFarland, seconded by Mr. Meyer, to table consideration of the TIF request for 6279 University Avenue N.E.

CONSIDER AWARD OF BIDS FOR DEMOLITION PROJECT #281 FOR THE SOUTHWEST OUADRANT � Ms. Dacy stated, because of the potential lawsuit regarding the apartment buildings as part of the Southwest Quadrant, staff is recommending the HRA table awarding the bids until the June meeting. The bids were put out to include the apartment buildings as well as the other buildings as one contract. Until we know what is going to happen with the apartment buildings, staff has contacted the potential bidders, postponed the bidding date, and rewritten the bids to separate out the apartments. In this way, the HRA could award separate contracts. Staff did not want to have the HRA award a contract and later have to say they could not do that and have a breach of contract. Staff has rewritten the bids and resubmitted the bids to the contractors. The HRA can award the bids at the June meeting. Ms. Dacy stated the second item is that, after the last meeting regarding the request from Burger King, the Burger King owner and Mr. Burns met. Staff gave them until the end of the business day on May 29th to occupy the building. Since that time, staff has had three other requests from tenants in the strip mall requesting a similar extension. Ms. Dacy contacted the City Attorney's office. Staff's recommendation is that it is okay to have those tenants remain until May 29. Staff is recommending that the HRA also authorize the tenants to stay until May 29. That is the last possible day. We then have to have the abatement contractor come in to begin asbestos removal. Demolition is to begin on June 12. � /"\ � � 80IISINa & REDEVBLOPMENT AIITHORITY MEETING, MAY 11, 1995 PAGE 4 Mr. Meyer asked where this would put the Burger King employees. Ms. Dacy stated she was not a part of that meeting but she understands that this date was acceptable. She did not know what action they would take. Mr. Meyer asked if May 29 was satisfactory for the other three tenants. Ms. Dacy stated she believed Andy Jang was trying to find another restaurant location. She believed the seafood business found a place. She has not talked to the Oriental Grocery. She cannot see going beyond the date of May 29 for the work that needs to be done. Mr. Meyer stated he respected the timing, but he was puzzled. Because of their convenience, they have changed the bid date for demolition and the world did not come to an end for demolition. This shows we can be flexible on this deadline, but he was puzzled as to why they could not be flexible with the tenants. Ms. Dacy stated this is a multi-phase project. We still have to deal with the apartments, the liquor store, and the pavement. We have been able to adjust the schedule but, as we go later, we will have some serious problems.

JOINT_ACQUISITION OF A SCATTERED-SITE PROPERTY Mr. Fernelius stated this particular property was brought to the City's attention by Mr. Landes who lives at 5928 Woody Lane, which is to the rear of the subject property. The property at 1207 Gardena Avenue is a single family home. The property is in a deteriorated condition and has a long history of problems. There are a number of code issues in the last few years. It has been a concern of the neighbors for some time. Mr. Landes notified staff about his concerns with the property. Mr. Landes stated the property would probably be marketed in the near future and expressed concern that it may continue in its current /"� � �"'� 80II8ING & REDEVELOPMENT AIITHORITY MEETINa, MAY 11, 1995 PAGB 5 condition if sold. Mr. Landes approached us about a possible acquisition of this property under the scattered-site program. Mr. Fernelius stated he would like to e�lore several issues or options. One option could be to purchase the property directly under the scattered site program. The problem is that the appraised value is more than what has typically been paid for other scattered site properties in the-past. If, however, they did this, the buildable lot could be resold for construction of a new home. Another option is to sell the land to the adjoining property owners for a predetermined price which Mr. Landea quoted as approximately $30,000 for the land. Staff is asking for feedback and to see if this is the type of project the HRA may be interested in. If so, staff can come back with additional details. Ms. Schnabel asked if the property was owner occupied and if it was currently for sale. Mr. Fernelius stated the property was owner occupied and is expected to be for sale in the near future. The property has been appraised. Mr. Landes stated the tax value is $74,500. There is no logic to that based on the surrounding properties. Mr. Fernelius stated the property is appraised at $64,000 as is. Mr. Meyer asked how staff have gone about selecting the properties for the scattered site program. Mr. Fernelius stated they have used a number of different means. Originally, staff did a windshield survey which was the basis for the initial acquisition of properties. Since that time, staff has discovered properties through the rental inspection program. Staff has also had property owners contact them directly about properties. Mr. Meyer asked if it was correct that staff had not just relied on comments from public officials but also on comments from private citizens. Mr. Fernelius stated this was correct. Staff conducts an inspection and evaluates each property. For this home, staff has done only a drive-by inspection. He did not know the condition of the interior. Ms. Schnabel asked what the code violations were. Mr. Fernelius stated there had been problems with exterior storage and there have been complaints from neighbors with the 80II8IN�3 � REDEVELOPMENT AIIT80RITY MEETING. MAY il. 1995 PA�3E 6 ,� way the property has been maintained. There has not been a thorough inspection for building code violations. Mr. Meyer stated he thought they should be very careful in the criteria used to select a site and then go in and inspect. The proposal to take the property and then have the neighbors purchase the lot to attach to their land, no matter how well intentioned that may be, would have a very poor connotation to the whole operation. In other words, to make land available for the gain of a very immediate group could be misinterpreted. They should be very cautious in using that particular approach. He is bothered with acquiring property to resell to surrounding property owners. His first reaction is that this does not sound like a good operation. Mr. McFarland asked if there had been a history of lack of maintenance because of the present owners. Mr. Fernelius stated that is what he understood. Mr. Landes stated the home has been owned by the current people for about ten years. Before that, it was as bad or worse with many vehicles not operating and trash in the yard. The property /� has never been taken care of, not even as much as the grass mowed. There has never been anything done to it. The garage roof sags noticeably. He probably has a negative view of it but it does not seem like it has any rehab value. He can appreciate what is being said, but the neighbors are not stuck on any certain way of making something happen. It is a possibility that he would be interested in owning and developing it. We are willing to try to do anything to help the current issue. Some of the violations are vehicles and general trash that has been laying for two to three years without being moved. He has initiated some of the complaints. The neighbor on the other side feels strongly about it because the property is only two to three feet from their property line. That could probably not be changed because of the grandfather clause. Ms. Schnabel stated, depending on what is on that site, there is a three foot setback. That may not be a violation of the existing code. Mr. Landes stated that could be but he was not sure. This property has been an eyesore for years. He would like to take an opportunity that is there to resolve the problem and is willing to put some money into it to resolve. None of the neighbors really want to own the property for the sake of adding on to their properties. That is not the goal. If something else could ,--� fit the criteria, that would be great. HOIISI1dG & REDEVELOPMENT AIITHORITY MEETING, MAY 11. 1995 PAGE 7 �� Mr. McFarland asked how much frontage this property has on Woody Lane. Mr. Landes stated it is almost a point there. It may be about ten feet. Ms. Dacy stated the intent of the scattered-site program is to take abandoned, blighted or dilapidated properties. If the lot is buildable, the HRA would convey the lot to a builder to put in a new house and improve the tax base. If the property were to be conveyed to the neighbors, the HRA would also have to evaluate that. Mr. Landes stated he was only bringing it to the City's attention to try to make something happen there. Ms. Schnabel stated she shared the concerns�that the HRA would be setting a precedent that would be a little difficult to sustain. She can appreciate the fact that as neighbors you have had to deal with a property that is not of the same standard as your own but she though it beyond the scope of the HRA's responsibility to go into a property and purchase it on the basis of the neighbors not being happy with the situation. We have to have more � substantial proof that this is something that would require our attention. That proof would be code violations or abandonment. She is not comfortable with the neighbors purchasing the property. She would hate to have people coming in and saying they think a property is bad and the HRA should buy it. Mr. Meyer stated, if these people were going to sell, they must have an inspection to outline the various defects. Ms. Dacy stated this is not a City requirement, unless a mortgage company or private institution requires it. Mr. Meyer stated let us say, for example, that this is a blighted house. Good judgement says the garage roof is sagging. Would there be a way to make an inspection, to see where this property is in respect to our priorities, and to see where it is on the total scale? If the garage roof is sagging, there is evidence of a problem. Ms. Dacy stated she is not hearing an objection to exploring or to doing some research, but she is hearing reservations about buying the property and selling it to the neighbors. Staff could determine if the property is eligible under the program. Ms. Schnabel stated the HRA would continue this matter until �� receiving a report indicating this should be considered for the scattered-site acquisition. HOIIBING & REDEVELOPMENT AIIT80RITY MEETING. MAY 11. 1995 PA�3E 8 9. ACOUISITION OF FRANK'S USED CARS PROPERTY Ms. Dacy stated this site is a nonconforming use in an S-1 Hyde Park neighborhood. The site was identified as a top priority in the recent development priority analysis because of the age, condition, and impact on the neighborhood. The owners recently passed away. Concurrently, the Custom Mechanical property was purchased by the City Council and demolished. Staff will be going to the City Council with a recommendation to convey those lots to the HRA to include in their program to sell for future construction. The Hyde Park area in the 1995 budget was identified as a focus area. Ms. Dacy stated, if this property is purchased, four single family lots could be created for resale. Each lot would be 75- foot lots with a tag parcel along University Avenue. This would be a neighborhood win. There is no question about the visual impact of this use on the neighborhood and the impression from the neighbors. Mr. Casserly stated the HRA could possibly create a TIF district and recoup some of the acquisition costs. Ms. Dacy stated Mr. Burns has been negotiating with a representative for the property since about January. On May 9, � Mr. Burns sent a letter offering to purchase the property for $140,000 subject to the estate waiving any relocation benefits, no separate payment would be made for fixtures, and the family would take responsibility for environmental cleanup. Those cleanup costs are 90� reimbursable from the petrol fund. So far, she believed the estate was willing to accept those terms. The issue is now the dollar amount. The acquisition funds proposed are subject to the approval of the HRA. Mr. Burns is requesting the HRA authorize him to execute a purchase agreement for acquisition subject to the above mentioned terms and not to exceed $145,000. If the HRA would authorize staff to do this, it would be subject to Chairperson Commer's approval. NIr. McFarland asked the location of the property. Ms. Dacy stated the property is located on 3rd Street north of 57th. Ms. Schnabel asked if there was vacant land to the north of the two houses on 57th. Ms. Dacy stated there is a vacant right-of-way. Mr. McFarland asked if the 300 feet faced University Avenue. �--� Ms. Dacy stated yes as does the remaining tag parcel to the south. HOIISING & REDEVELOPMENT AIITHORITY MEETING, MAY 11, 1995 PAGE 9 /� Mr. McFarland asked what the cost would be to tear down the building and for how much the lots would sell. Ms. Dacy stated demolition of the building would cost approximately $10,000 to $15,000. She thought each lot would sell for at least $15,000. Ms. Schnabel asked if there was the possibility of making this a TIF district. Mr. Casserly stated they had examined this site several times before when they were trying to do the Gateway project. There are all kinds of variations of things they could put together, and he felt this was a good candidate for the original concept behind tax increment. The real issue is not going to be the acquisition price but he is guessing there will be environmental concerns that will continue. He felt it would be a while before that is resolved. Mr. McFarland stated if the risk is that the clean up is in excess of value of the property and that the family will walk away from it. � Mr. Casserly stated the problem is that the petrol fund does in fact cover anything to do with tank storage. It is the non-tank storage costs that one could run into. If the purchase agreement is put together right, it is the family's expense and responsibility to bring the property up to grade. One problem could be that the family would not do that and continue to use the property as it has been used. MOTION by Mr. McFarland, seconded by Mr. Meyer, to authorize staff to execute a purchase agreement subject to the waiving of relocation benefits, no separate payment for fixtures, and the estate will take responsibility for environmental cleanup; not to exceed $145,000; and subject to Chairperson Commer's approval.

AUTHORIZE EXPENDITURES FOR LANDSCAPING/NOISE ALTERATION AT 5707 WEST MOORE LAKE DRIVE Ms. Dacy stated this was in regard to the Gunderson home, the second of the two homes related to the Lake Pointe property on West Moore Lake Drive. The Gunderson home was purchased on May 1, 1995. The next door neighbor at 5719 West Moore Lake Drive has a serious buyer interested in that property. That ^ property has been on the market since last fall. These owners had sent a letter to Ms. Dacy and the HRA. After the Hedman home was removed, they felt they had experienced an increase in noise. 80IISINa & REDEVELOPMENT AIITHORITY MEETING. NiAY 11. 1995 PAGB 10 �� A noise study was completed by a consultant, and they determined that the sound from the highway will not significantly increase above the existing amount. By removing the Gunderson home, the human ear would not determine any increase in the noise. Ms. Dacy stated, last fall with direction from Mr. Burns, staff communicated to the owners that a vegetative buffer could be considered by the HRA knowing that when the street is completed it will require some type of buffer anyway. She and Ms. McPherson went to the site and Ms. McPherson came up with a recommendation for plantings. Staff is recommending.a row of four 3-inch Crimson King Maples, a row of sixteen 8-foot Black Hills Spruce, and a massing of 25-30 Red Osier pogwoods. They went to the site and placement can be accomplished without infringing on the proposed right-of-way of the proposed re- alignment. Staff is aware that future owners may want to build a two-car garage so we may want to hold off until we know. The estimated cost for the landscaping is $10,750, which was the lowest of six quotes. Staff could develop a phasing plan as to when this should be installed. In terms of the budget, there is $10,670 in the budget to replace the plaza trees. They could shift those funds to this project. As they did with the Hedman house, they can take bids to have the house moved from the � property and recoup some of the costs. Mr. Dacy stated staff would like the HRA to authorize staff to phase installation of landscaping not to exceed $10,750 and to authorize quotes on having the house moved from the property for approval by the HRA at the June meeting. Ms. Dacy stated she has communicated with the owner and the perspective buyer and said the vegetation is not intended to reduce the noise. The sound that you are going to hear from Highway 65 is what you are going to hear. Planting the trees may help but she will not guarantee that this will reduce the noise. It will improve the appearance from Highway 65 and, also in the future when they do realign the roadway, will provide a buffer. Ms. Schnabel asked if the HRA had these kinds of monies in the budget. Is it staff's intent to transfer the tree replacement project funds for this? Ms. Dacy stated yes. The tree replacement project has been budgeted for two to three years and has not been completed. Mr. Meyer stated it seems like a lot af public money for a private enhancement for a dubious cost. No one is able to say removing the Hedman home has increased the problem. ,,,"`\ Ms. Schnabel asked who would be responsible for maintenance. 80IISINa & REDEVELOPMENT AIIT80RITY MLETING, MAY 11. 1995 PAGE 11 Ms. Dacy stated staff was contemplating adding these properties to the Lake Pointe maintenance contract. There needs to be some top soil placed and reseeding. Until the lot is conveyed to a developer, it would be their responsibility. Mr. Meyer asked how adamant the owner was about this problem. Ms. Dacy stated the owner was very adamant. This is the first potential buyer that they have had in the six to nine months that the property has been on the market. Ms. Schnabel asked if the sale of the house would fall through without this. Ms. Dacy stated she thought, if they did not do anything, it would jeopardize the sale of the property. If the HRA proposes to do some type of landscaping, that would not hurt the sale of the property. If we did nothing, then it would. Mr. Meyer stated this sounds very generous. He would like to have staff skim that down. Ms. Dacy stated the major cost is the Black Hills spruce trees. /� Staff is proposing 16 of them so that is a lot of trees. Mr. Meyer stated these trees are 8 feet high and have to be planted with a good amount of space so they are not going to be effective for a number of years anyway. Ms. Dacy stated Ms. McPherson has recommended these trees be spaced 15 feet on center. Mr. Meyer stated they will not be sound buffering for years and years. These trees would probably be six to seven feet in diameter. Ms. Dacy stated she had explained that the trees may not reduce the sound. We are trying to improve the aesthetics and view from the roadway and to provide a start of a fairly good screen for when we do the road alignment which will be closer. If we get a good amount of buffer established now, it will help what are going to do in the future. It will also take away the lights from the traffic. We could reduce the number of trees and reduce the total cost. Mr. Meyer stated residents living on East River Road have problems with lights and noise from cars and people put up fences of an attractive nature at their expense. That is an immediate ,.�-� aid to both noise and lights. 80IISINa � REDEVSLOPMENT AIITHORITY MEETINa. MAY il. 1995 PA(3E 12 i� �'1 Ms. Dacy suggested the HRA authorize staff to go to $6,000 including any potential costs in terms of maintenance. If there are issues about providing water or any of those maintenance issues, that would be include and be deducted from the $6,000. MOTION by Mr. Meyer, seconded by Mr. McFarland, to approve an expenditure for landscaping/noise attenuation not to exceed $6,000 which shall include the cost of maintenance for the landscaping and to authorize staff to take quotes to move the house.

SOUTHWEST OUADRANT UPDATE Ms. Dacy referred to her memo of May 5, 1995, regarding the Southwest Quadrant and the information in that memo regarding the necessity for drainage improvements. Staff has determined that will be required despite what is going to be on the property. In the public improvement part of the budget, Rottlund is proposing to pay for the cost of 3rd Street. That was an anticipated cost which will be a savings for the HRA. The proposed drainage improvement is estimated at $20,000. Unless the HRA has any objection, staff would like to include that as part of the HRA costs. Ms. Dacy showed the four computer-generated still photos of the proposed Southwest Quadrant. Ms. Dacy also showed the computer video of the site. The Planning Commission had a problem with the 16-unit townhouse buildings. The developer did not agree but came up with 8-unit townhouse buildings. The video and stills provide examples of eaah type of building. The Planning ,� Commission has also requested the addition of more brick to be � used in the design. HOIIBINa � REDEVELOPMENT AIIR'RORITY MEETING. MAY 11, 1995 PAaE 13 13.

There was an article in the Focus this week. Staff will report further in June. Ms. Dacy stated that Home Depot has made an offer on the Lake Pointe property. They are currently looking at a site opposite Holiday Plus on Main Street. 14. UPDATE ON 1995 ANNUAL REPORT Ms. Dacy stated she would like to review some of the articles staff will be doing for the upcoming annual report. Mr. Fernelius will be writing about the Whitney Home construction on the scattered sites. Staff was also thinking of writing an article on how to select a contractor or focus on some part of the rehab process, an article about the ACCAP lease hold cooperative and that the HRA provided assistance, and the typical information on housing programs. Councilmember Schneider is doing an article on the progress made on some of the housing programs and some of the issues that we have come up against. We ,''� also had reference in there to some of the recent issues about _ the Southwest Quadrant but she did not know if they would be able to publish that at this time. She asked if the HRA felt any of these articles were inappropriate or if there was anything they would like to add. Ms. Dacy also mentioned that the annual report has not had pictures in the annual report for three years.
