BY FRIDLEY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, suggested this item be tabled and con- sidered at the time of the public hearing on June 9 regarding the vacation request, since it concerns the same properties. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to table this item to June 9, 1980. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF LOT SPLIT REQUEST, LS #80-02, 6041 and 6031 -3RD STREET, BY FRIDLEY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY: Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated this lot split involves three 40 foot lots which have been purchased by the HRA and wish to split in order to make two building sites from these three lots. He state the Planning Commission has recommended approval of the lot split. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to grant Lot Split, LS #80-02. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Councilman Fitzpatrick raised the question on the size of the lots covered under LS #80-01. He felt it would be better for the area to have two 80 foot lots, rather than three 50 to 60 foot lots. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated they are trying to put a limit on the cost for the sale of the lots, around $4,000 each, to meet the requirements of moderate income housing. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated he talked with the City Planner, Jerry Boardman,regarding this matter, and in Mr. Boardman's discussions with HUD, what they propose on these lots is to sell them for around $4,000, plus the cost of special assessments, and this figure is substantially less than what they paid for the land with the dwelling on it. He stated the provisions of the sale is something to the affect that if the family buying the home con- tinues to live on the property for 10 years, a write-down will be written off. If the family ehooses to sell the property or ceases to live on it, the City would have the second mortgage and the difference between the cost of the property to the City and what the buyer paid for the lot would have to be paid. Mr. Brunsell stated this is part of the large family housing program for which the City has a grant and they will draw from this for the write-down. Councilman Fitzpatrick felt it wouldn't make a difference if they had two lots selling for $6,000 each or three lots selling for $4,000 each. Mr. Herrick stated, from the standpoint on what the City would recover from the sale of the lots, Councilman Fitzpatrick's point is true. He stated the Council may wish to consider what is compatible with the neighborhood probably more than the loss of $4,000 which might be the loss of a site for another home. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated another consideration is that the land and the construction of the home have to be kept within a certain dollar limit. Councilwoman Moses stated, in talking with Mr. Boardman, the figure she recalled was that the cost for the land and the home couldn't exceed $52,000. She stated, depending on how the bids came in from the contractors for con- struction of the home, the difference up to $52,000 would be paid for the lot. Councilman Fitzpatrick felt the money consideration here was not persuasive, --- but the real consideration is whether there be' two 80 foot lots or three 53 foot lots. ft 133 REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 5, 1980 PAGE 3 PROCLAMATION ESTABLISHING MAY 17, 1980 AS ARMED FORCES DAY IN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY• MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to approve this proclamation.

Approve Wording of the Proposed Purchase Agreement and Second Mortgage to be Attached at Time of Sale Mr. Boardman stated they had Mr. Herrick put together some wording similar to the wording discussed at the last HRA meeting. Within the Purchase Agreement, it states they are going to be placing a HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, JUNE 12, 1980 PAGE 3 second mortgage on the property at 87. interest. That second mortgage is the difference between what the purchase price is and what the appraised price of that lot is prior to the time of sale. The wording also states that if the purchaser of that property moves out of the house within ten years,*the HRA has first right of refusal on the property, purchasing the property at the current appraised value minus the difference between the appraised value and the 890 interest, or they will foreclose on the second mortgage. The Mortgage Note is the second mortgage that is attached to the Purchase Agreement. If the purchaser stays in the house for the ten year period, then the principal and interest accumulated on the second mortgage would be classified as satisfied. Mr. Boardman stated they sent the Purchase Agreement and the Mortgage Note to Dick Buddig, Legal Counsel for HUD, and he has no problems with the documents. MOTION by Mr. Prairie, seconded by Ms. Svendsen, to approve the wording of the proposed "Purchase Agreement" and "Mortgage Note" to be attached at time of sale.

The appraisals cost approximately $175 each. MOTION by Ms. Svendsen, seconded by Mr. Prairie, to approve appraisals on the four new lots to be completed. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Vice- Chairperson Houck declared the motion carried unanimously. 3. UPDATE ON REHAB PROGRAM: Mr. Boardman stated that with the rehab program, they have been having problems getting contractors to do the.work. They have two projects with two bids, three projects with one bid, and one project with no bid. The City gives the property owners a list of contractors who are interested in the rehab program. The property owner is responsible for contacting those contractors and getting three bids. Mr. Boardman stated they feel they should move ahead with these projects. On those projects that have two bids, they will take the low bid. On the projects with only one bid, they are going to have Darrel Clark, Chief Building Official, go out, look at the one bid, and give notice of whether he thinks that bid is within reason. They have talked this over with HUD, and HUD has no problem with it.
