Discussion on "Tax Increment Analvsis and Cash Flow" Document: Mr. Commers stated that, at the last meeting, the HRA members had difficulty in understanding some of the computer print-outs and ' would like to go over them in more detail. He asked Mr. Doyscher if Mr. Doyscher had studied this document in detail and if he was satisfied with the data reported in itY Mr. Doyscher stated he had studied it and he was satisfied in that the research people made no assumptions, such as inflation. Zn his opinion, they were also very conservative ir, terms of assessed values on new structuxes and taxes, which was exactly what the bonding attorneys were going to require in terms of conservativeness, and that would a11ow the City to be on the most conservative side of cash flow. Mr. Commexs asked Mr. Doyscher to go over the print-out schedules in the document with the HRA members so they could better understand them. Mr. Doyscher pointed out that he and Mr. Boardman had set uo the assumptions and had also seL- up the numUer of runs with these assump- tions. They ran an assumption where the increment caould only he gained en �'i:llage Green, they ran an aseumpeion where there would be a 2% inflation on property values, Chey ran an assu�nption with mi11 levy computations coming down without changing assessed values bringing Chem up, and they ran an assun�ption or. an off.ice Uuilding located in the Phase I area, Mr. Doyscher reviewed the document in detail with the HRl� memUers. He stated he thought this was an excellent document to use as a guide when someone is'making a nroposal. 3. Discussion on Preliminary Deve2opment Standards: Mr. Boardman stated that at the July 18th meeting, he had asked the IiRA members to review thie document. He was now looking for approval of the documenC irom the FIRA and a recommendation to attach it to the development proposal. Mr. Coumiers asked what the purpose was for the document. Mr. Doyscher stated that one of his concerns about Center City was that the existing controls really would not pr.ohibit someone from building'something of marginal commercial use, at the same time the City:was trying to get programs together to take buildings down and put together more parcel5 of land for Uigger development. Without establishing some controls on thaL- land beyond just what the City has in the Zoning Ordinance, he was afraid they would at some time be working at cross purposes. HOUSING & REDrVELOPMENT AUTNORITY MGETZNG, SL'PTEMBER 13, 1979 - PAGE 3 Mr, Doyscher stated that they were asking the City to put the Development Standards into oxdinance form. It basically said some of the thfngs they would like to have happen in the Center City Project. He stated he would like to call the HRA's attention to the item, "Specific Controls" contained in the center of the document. Mr. Commers staCed it was obvious that when you do a project like this, there has to be some conformity and some controls, but there . is the problem of putting restrictions on the people's use of their own land before the City has acquired their land. Mr. Boardman stated the main thing is that they have laid out the project area and the intent of the project area is to improve development. They are noY saying that development should not be done as a privaCe resource, Uut they are saying that there is an intent and there is a projecr they are looking for in this area, and if development is going to be done, it should be done consistent with the goals and objectives of the City. They would definitely want to encourage private development if those private developers are going to go in the direction the City wants for the Center City area . Mr. Boardman stated that ir. the past, the City has looked at potentia.l areas as overlay districts. For exacnple, the flood plain and the Hyde Park area are overlay disL'rzcts. This may be something to Ue loo4ed at for the Center City area. Mr. Boardman sL-ated that in order to put these kinds oi conditions on zoning, they de,`:initely have to get approval from the Planuing Commissioti and City Council, but the HRA has to be the initiatin� agency for that process. Mr. Commers asked if there were other alternatives. 4fr. Doyscher sCated that one alternaYive would be amending the Zoning Ordinance to say the same thing. Another alternative would be to have only Phase I.

Receive Invitation for Proposal Document: Mr. Boardman stated t-hat i:his is a preliminary document put together by the consultant. This document ioould be used for an invitation of development. This document would have exhibits attached to it to be sent to developers to invite some interest within the development of the Center City Project. Mr. Boardman stated that, at this point in time, he felt it would be a good idea to go through the document and explain what they were trying to accomplish with it and to get some feedback from the HRA for finalization of the document by the October meeting. By middle to end of OctoUer, they would be putting together a development proposal to be sent out to the developers. Mr. Coumiers stated he felt the members needed time to read this document over before making any decisions on it. It would be too hard to do it aC this mecting. Mr. Boardman stated this was an important document and he wanted the fiRA to take as r,�uch time as they nceded on it. Mr. Doyscher stated he would like to briefly go through the documenl- at the meeting eo point out some things and to make some recommendat-ions. Mr. Doyscher pointed out t_he fifth paragraph under "Introduction"; "The City will consider as a first priority for immediate action proposals submitted for development of the Phase I area. As stated elsewhere in this offering docun�ent, development and redevelepment plans wi11 be considered for all phases (or Parcels I through VI), but immediate action appears more likely on Phase or Parcel I." Mr. Doyscher staY.ed that cn the first page under "Development Proposals", in the statement, "�of:fer to rehabilitate an existing structure", he and Mr. Boardman had considered eliminating this statement, because it was their feeling that the existing structures in this phase probably are not what ttiey are looking for in terms of rehabili_tation. His recovm�endation was to delete that statement from the document. In Item 2, under "Instructions for Proposal SuUmittals", Mr. Doyscher recommended that "established at _ per sq. foot" be deleted and "negotiaUle caith the HRA" 6e inserted. In Item ik7, Mr. Doyscher recommended that the following sentence he deleted: "The cos�s are to be paid by City funds." In IL-em �18, Mr. Doyscher stated thaL- "Executive llirectnr of: the 13RA" should be inserted after "Jerrold hoardman". HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING SBPTEMBER 13 1979 - PAGE 5 In Item f�10, Mr. Doyschar recommended that the following change be made to the first sentence: "Proposals for Phase I or comtination of Phases with Phase I must be received at the office of the Housing and Redevelopment AuChority, City Hall, rridley, Minnesota, 55432, no later than (date to 6e determined Iater) ." In Item �k12, Mr. Doyscher recomnended that the word, "submission" be delel'ed and a blank space inserted for a closing date. Item i614 refers to "Di.sposition Documents" and Mr. Doyscher stated he had drafted a"Land Disposition Document" for the HRA members to review. After Item 9k16, Mr. Doyscher recommended that the whole section entitled, "Processing Development Proposals" be deleted. Mr. Doyscher stated that after the ARA members had time to read the Proposal Document and atter making their recommendations, the Proposa7. Document would be put together in a final form. Mr. Commers stated that the HRA members could review the document and discuss it at the Special HRA meeting on September 20, 19%9. II. LARGF. FnMILY HOME OWATERSRIY PRO^vR��P1: A. Receive Environmental Assessment Statement: Mr. Boardman stated that this document was part oi the application made under the Large Family Program. The notification for this applica- tion was published August 15th, 15 days for review. After the 15 days, they published another notice of tlte Ci.ty's intent to request a release of funds of $120,000 as a requirement under the contracts. There was another 15-day waiting period and that period was up tliat evening. After that evening, they woald be able to send a letter to HUD asking for a release of funds, and those funds would ttien be released to the City in the City's account in Chicago. They could then start spending those funds. He sCated this document �bas for the HRA's information. B. Receive Updated Housing Assistance Plan: Mx'. Soardman stated that something that went along with the application was a Housing Assistance P1an. This is a plan xequired under all HUD approvals and all AtID documents. It te11s how many units are available, the standard and substandard units, the projected increase in units, and the projected increase in population to reside. On the last pages of this Plan were the City's three-year goals and current year goals. He stated thls was also for the HRA's inform�tion. MOTION by P2r. Houck, seconded by Ms. Svendsen, Co receive into the record the Environmental Assessment Statement and the tlpdated Housing Assistance Plan. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Chairpersou Commers declared the motion carried unanimously. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING SEPTEMBER'13 1979 - PAGE 6 C. Discussion on Program TlmetaUle and Program Expenditures: Mr. Boardman stated Chis was the potential timetable for the Home Ownership Program. Hopefully, by the next regularly scheduled HRA meeting, he would have more information on the financial part of it: Mr. Boardman stated they were looking at having control of the properties and making those properties available for construction by June 1980. There is quite a process for acquisition and relocation. He stated that he did not note all Che HRA meetings within this timetable; however, he did note those HRA meetings where there would have to be a resolution or some kind of action by the HRA on actual agreements or documentation. Mr. Boardman stated Che process for this program was pretty much set up by HUD, and the City would be working closely with the City Attorney. D. A reement of Cooperation Between the Cit}� of Fridley and the Fridl.ey HRA": Mr. Boardman stated Chat he had taken this document to the City Council, the City Council had approved it and recommended it be suUmitted to the HRA for contract review and approval.

OTHBR BUSINESS: A. Community DevelopmenY. Blocic Grant Projects: Mr. Boardman stated they were moving rayidly on the next community deve3.opment block grant program. The cieadline for this application is October 1, 1979. He stated they had co�mnunity block grant meetings with HUD aUout three weeks ago where they found out all the necessary information to put the projecT.s together. There are such restrictive publ.ic hearing prncesses L-hat they generally have to act first and come hack to the commissions later. So, they had set some public liearings for the proper notification times. They set a puUlic hearing before the HRe� on September 20 and before the City CounciJ. on September 24 to meet the deadline to HUD on Oct: 1. He stated this was a preliminary application. Once a preliminary application is submitted, it goes through a review process before HUD sends out letters to the conununities asking for iinal recommendations. Mr. Boardman stated that with the suUmission of a preliminary application, they have Co have two documents - a"Citizen Participation Plan" and an "Implementation of Citizen Participation Plan with Regard"to the Community DevelopmenC Block Grant Program". HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING SEPTEMBER'13, 1979 - PAGE 7 Mr, Boardman staCed he had written a memo to Che HRA outlining the preli.minary project and some discussion as to what projects they were looking at. Another document the HRA members had received was the Rules & Regulations which tells the basic eligibility activities under HUD B1ock Grants. Mr. Boardman stated they lay out strategy areas of potential low and moderate income that needs rehab or where elderly live. So, they gear the program toward selected areas within the community. Their intent is to stop deterioration in those areas and to bring up quality neighbor- hoods. AC this time, Pfr. Boardman stated they were looking at two main programs and possibly three or four. These programs caere put together rather rapidly. The first program is Handicapped Accessibility - City Hall - estimated cost $120,000. The second program is Housing Rehabilitation Loan, Interest Rate WriCe-Down Program - estimated cost $43,000. The third program is the Housing Rehabilitation Grant Funds for elderly and handicapped homeowaers - estimated cost $35,000, and the fourth program is the Energy Grant sei. aside for Community Action Program (Anoka CAP) for weatherization in Fridley - estimated cost $25,000. Mr. Boardman stated the public hearing on SeptemUer 20 is actually on these four. prohr.ams and at that publi.c hearin�, the City wi11 be bringing bef.ore the HRA a requesl for the initiation and presentation of an application to HUD based on these four programs. B. Liability Insurance; Mr. Boardman stated he had a copy of a lett�r from the City's insurance company which stated that the ARA members had binding cover.age effecti�e July 20, 1979. Mr. Commers expressed concern that this covexage was for bodily injuzy and property damage, and he was not sure it covered the types of actions that would be taken by the FIRA. Mr. Boardman stated he would taAc to Pir. Marvin Brunsell and get a letter of clarification on this in5urance coverage.

CONTINUED: IAT SPLIT RBQUEST. L.S. �79-04. EDWARD T. BAULER: Sp1it off the Westerly 60 feet of Lot 14, A.S. �22, except the Southerly 390 Feet, also Lot 30, Blqck 2, Irvington Addition, and adjoining vacated streets and alleys in Itvington Addition, to be sold as open space for an adjoining property, the same being 1420 Rice Creek Road N.E. Chairman Harris asked Mr. Boardman for co�ents on thia request. Mr. Boardman told the Planning Commission when considering this item, that it was very important to consider planning for the whole district. The entire area was quite large with many undeveloped lots. He stated other landowners in this area have contacted him regarding the question of lot splits. His two main questions were how to get accesa to all of this land and what kind of use the land would service Fridley beat. He realized Mr. Bauler only wanta to split off 60 feet, but this would make the lot substandard in width and a very deep lot. This lot could become landlocked in the future. When planning we have to look at 15 to 20 years down the road. He realized this will put a burden on Mr. Bauler now. The City already has a 30 foot road right- of-way along Mr. Bauler's land. This was platted many years ago on the old Irvington Addition. All the streets and alleys in the area have been vacaCed. The City would have to obtain an additional 30 feet to make room for a road. Mr. Boardman recommended denial of the lot eplit. Mr. Harria sa#d the reason for continuing this requeat was the question of access to the rear properties, plus, to find out what the other property owner�s intents where. Mr. Boardman said they did not ask each owner what their intent was, because perhaps in 5 years from now they may sell to a developer and we have to plan for that now. Mr, Harria said they were also looking for some sort of a plan for this aiea. Mr. Boardman said this was what he did on his propoaed road plan and lot plan. Because of lack of time, everything was not planned from an engineering atandpoint, but the plan as far as a road system, lot division and lot size was feasible. He asked if we do this split naw, what problems are we creating down the line. He reco�ended denial because the lot would be too narraw. It would be only 60 feet wide, which was subatandard and that has never been allowed before. If the co�iasion okays the lot split, it would be saying the lot was buildable, which was not ttae. Mr. Boardman questioned if �.. �. PLANNIIdG COi�"Ri1ISSI0N MEETING OCTOBER 3 1979 PAGE 2 the Commisaian could legally approve the lot split becauae it would be going against the ordinance requirements for size. Mr. Boardman also recommended denial because the rest of the land would be inaccessibleand the City could not get the needed road right-of-way. Mr. Harris asked if the terrain was too steep for roads. Mr. Boardman said there are variations in the terrain, but there are low points which are fairly level and could be serviceable. The proposed plan was about the best one for road access and creating lots. Ms. Gabel pointed out on the praposed road plan, some houses w�re in the way. She questioned what happes to them. Mr. Boardman replied this xoad plan was not definite. It may have to be moved around for thoae homes, some lots made smaller or larger or if the price was right, the developer would purchase the hom� and relocate them. Ms. Hughes asked how many property owners were affected. Mr. Boardman said the land was owned by 9 homeowners and they each have a large amount of land. Ae then showed a map of each homeowner's land. Mr. Boardman suggested to Mr. Bauler to split off some other area of his land. Mr. Bauler, 1420 Rice Creek Road, said he has a buyer for this land already and he did not want to sell anymore of his land. Mr. Boax�an said this neighbor would be able to put iu hie tannia court, with this lot spllt �md th� �plit off his or1s1�1 l�d qei rall. Ha has r�n this happen bofora. 24r. B�uler rould thwn b4 laft vith inacc�sstble land on his back proparty. Mr. Robert Barnette, 541 Rice Creek Blvd., speaking as a friend for Mr. Bauler, pointed out the only reason Mr. Bauler was selling Was because of financial need. Ae said if he sold this 60 feet to his neighbor, ultimately the tennis court would go in, and when the road was needed, it would be part of the neighbor's land that would be condemned. The burden would be on the purchaser of the property, not on Mr. Bauler: It would be up to the neighbor to settle on the cost of this lot, not Mr. Bauler. The burden should not be on the petitioner because of something 20 years down the road. . l[r. Boarri�ui raid the burden was on the City, bacaus• th�� vould be sayiag the lot p�lit Wae buildable rmd it was not. Mr. Harris said he did not see how the Planning Co�nissian could approve a lot split for thia size because it goes against the ordinance. Mr. Bauler said he did not want to se�l off more of hia land closer to his house. That was all part of his home and he had lived there since 1938. Mr. Harris said there have heen no lot splits of lesa than 75 feet since 1966, Ms. Gabel asked if C.C. would buy another configuration of his land. The Commission tried to work out various ways to split the land, but because of needed road right-of-way and future land development, nothing was feasible. Also, Mr. Bauler PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. OCTOBIIR 3. 1979 PAGE 3 could not agree with any ot the suggestions because it would infringe on his home and his life style. Mr. Bauler stated he wanted to leave his land to his children. Mr. Harris suggested splitting off the land along Rice Creek Road, leaving an access to hia home. This lot would be more valuable then the oxiginal request, somewhere in the area of $15- - 16,000. This lot would also meet all the requirements. An easement would be given for future road righe-of-way to give access to the land to the rear. This split would stillleave Mr. Bauler the land around his home and allow him to do what he wants with it. Mr. Barnette pointed out that �he neighbor was not interested in this land. Mr. Harris said considering land shortage and the location, this lot should sell very easily. Mr. Boardman auggesCed leasing the land the'nei�l�bor wasnted for his tennis court and _ also split the front lot on Rice Creek Road. The proposed road plan would then be shi�ted . --- - __ be_along this lot and an easement could be dedicated for road right-of-way when the 1nt — was sold. This would satisfy the neighbor's plan; aud give Mr. Baulter the"money"he Yequires and still leave 2 lots left of h s an .- — Mr. Bauler said he fought placing a road here in 1967, but looks now like he has lost. Mr. Barnette asked what type of procedure Ed would have to go thru. Mx. Harris said he would only need a lot aplit for the land on Rice Creek Road. He also auggeated workiag out a written asreement with the neighbor on leasing the land for Che tennis-cour"t.- ,This shrn,ld inolnda and easement for access to Che tennis court for motorized vehicles. Mr. Harris said they would continue this item until Mr. Baulter had — - -- - — time to talk with his neighbor ori this proposa2 and"work out the new lot split.

Mr. Bosrdmait replied yes. He a3:so stated he has had some discussions with the Metro- politan Council on the number of units to be made available in a 10 year period. The Council now feels it cannot require a community to build X number of homes in 10 years if the Federal monies are not available. They now look at a 3 year period and say we have so much money that can be granted to a community and therefore the units will be built according to the monies available. This does not change the goals or objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, but wi11 change some numbers in the implementation process. Mr. Treuenfels asked if the funds come through the Metro Council. PLANNII3G CON&SISSION MEETING OCTOBER 3 1979 PAGE 5 Mr. Boardman said the Metropolitan Council was an "A95" &eview Co�ittee and only made sure the money granted by HUD or Minnesota Housing Finance was used properly. Mr. Boardman said he had talked to Coon Rapids on the drainage question for the new 6 acre development on Hwy. 47 in Blaine. He said he got all the reports, charts, statsstics, etc. from the architect firm that was developing this area and was satis- fied that proper controls on quantity and quality of drainage were being used. They are using a 100 year rain or 24 hour - 6 inch rain run-off, which was the same re- quired by the Rice Creek Watershed District. The problem now, was there wexe no present storage controls for run-aff. There was a lot of silting in the area and the developer was embarrassed by that. He said they will be cleaning the ditches of this silt in the next 2 to 3 weeks. Ttae quantity of run-off was being controlled and the quality of the water was improving. Mr. Boardman stated there had been no silting into North Park, only the ditches. Mr. Boardman introduced the Critical Area Plan that was passed out to the commission. He asked for a Public Hearing on October 24, 1979, to discuss this. He said this was to have been sent to the Minnesota Ettvironmental Quality Coommission in September for rev iew . MOTION by Mx. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Treuenfels, to receive the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area Plan. UPON A VOICS VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN ILIRRIS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY, Mr. Oquist asked if this was the same as what was in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Boardman replied .it was the same up to page 21. After that page it was new and should be reviewed by the Planning Co�ission. However, he noted on page 26, these requirements are state requirements and have been in effect since 1976. He asked the members to pay close attention to the regulations when reading through. There are many requirements under Federal regulations concerning bluffs, visual, vegation, set- backs, etc. He said signing was not covered in this p1an as that had been taken care of by the existing code requirements. Mr. Harris said he noticed a 4 feet x 8 feet yellow sign along the river by 62nd Ave. regarding boats. He did not think this sign should be there. Mr. Boardman said he would check into it. Ms. Hughes asked about the status of the Great River Road funding on the F.M,C. property. This is covered in this plan. Mr. Boardman said it was good. Funding was available, 75% Federal and 25% locai. He understood there was money for the house, taking over the salt storage area and aquiring walkway easements along the river by Georgetown Apartments. There will be a walkway along the river from Island of Peace to the Minneapolis Water Works and possibly con- nect up to the Camden Bridge bicycle path. Within the next 4 months, Island of Peace and the rest of this property will be designated by the Metro Council as a regional park. PLANNING COIQflSSION MEETING OCTOBER 3 1979 PAGE 6 Mr. Treuenfels questioned page 21 were it reads . "the City will take the following measurea: Ammend Chapter 205 of the City Code to indlude special development regula- tions for the corridor." Mr. Boardman said this was what the Critical Area Plan will do. We are incorporating state regulations with our own. Ms. Gabel pointed out some of the state requirements were too loose. Mr. Boardman said they are loose, but those requlations are encompassing the entire river. We help interpret them and then add our own requirements. Ms. Gabel asked how we find out if we are consistant with other co�unities on this plan. Mr. Boardman explained the process was to have our City approve the plan first, then send it to our sister co�nunities for approval. From there it goes the Metropolitan Council for apprwal and on to the Minnesota Eirvironmental Quality Commission. The I�QC looks it over and sends it back to us to tell us where to change or strengthen our requirements. Mr. Boardman also noted L.S. 9k79-O5, City of Fridley, that was discussed at the September 26, 1979, meeting. The commission had questioned the status of the lot owned by the City of Fridley. '!'his lot was not a designated park area, but rather a drainage area £or dumping of stoxm sewer water. As of now, the City has not decided what to do with it.
