moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION N0. 90 -131
RESOLUTION DEFINING POLICY AND GOALS RELATING TO IMPROVEMENTS
AND REDEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE 69TH AVENUE CORRIDOR
WHEREAS, on March 26, 1990 the City Council adopted Resolution No.
90 -66, ordering the reconstruction of 69th Avenue North from Noble Avenue to
Shingle Creek Parkway, based on a plan which provides for the acquisition of
properties along the north side of 69th Avenue to provide adequate right -of-
way for the proposed improvements; and
WHEREAS, on that date the City Council also requested the Economic
Development Authority (EDA) to explore the possibility of additional
redevelopment of the south side of 69th Avenue North; and
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the City Council that a street
improvement project which upgrades a street into a four lane divided roadway
does not materially increase the market value of any single family residential
(R -1) property which abuts such an improvement; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager has advised the City Council that regular
Municipal State Aid Street funds cannot be used to purchase additional
properties on the south side of 69th Avenue for redevelopment purposes; and
WHEREAS, the Brooklyn Center Comprehensive Plan contains
recommendations for the rezoning and redevelopment of properties in the
general vicinity of the Brooklyn Boulevard /69th Avenue intersection; and
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City Council to establish a process
for the development of final plans for the reconstruction of 69th Avenue which
includes opportunities for public involvement in resolving design issues
relating to that improvement project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council also recognizes the need for citizen input
and involvement in the development of any redevelopment plans and it is the
intent of the City Council to provide such opportunities independently of
proceedings relating to the street improvement.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that:
1. It is the intent and policy of the City Council that the
reconstruction of 69th Avenue North, as ordered by Resolution No.
90 -66 shall proceed independently of any planning studies relating
to land use changes and /or redevelopment.

RESOLUTION NO. 90 -131
2. The Council's request to have the EDA explore the possibility of
additional redevelopment of the south side of 69th Avenue North is
hereby rescinded so as to clarify that the City at this time has
no official or formal plan for the purchase of any of those
properties.
3. It is the goal of the City to review the Comprehensive Plan as it
relates to all properties within the 69th Avenue corridor, and
especially to all properties lying within the general vicinity of
the 69th Avenue /Brooklyn Boulevard intersection, including the
69th Avenue corridor between France Avenue and Noble Avenue, and
to develop a plan for redevelopment of that area in general
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
4. No special assessments will be levied against any single family
residential (R -1 zoned) properties abutting the 69th Avenue
Improvement Project No. 1990 -10 between Brooklyn Boulevard and
Shingle Creek Parkway.
