Executive Director Michael McCauley discussed that this resolution would authorize the acquisition
of the property at 1900 57 Avenue North, also known as the Acme Typewriter building. It is

trying to acquire the property by eminent domain.

• Date: December 1, 2004 MEMORANDUM
To: Mike McCauley, City Manager
From: Curt Boganey, Assistant City Manag�
Subject: Flik International Corp Agreement
The Economic Development Authority has had a Food Service Management Agreement
with Flik Corp since 1999 with very positive results. The current contract with Flik
expires December 31, 2004. Due to the very positive working relationship the City and
the company have each expressed an interest in continuing this relationship into the
future. Because this contract was adopted in 1999 and the outstanding bonds have been
paid off, we are in the midst of negotiating proposed contract changes that we believe
improve the terms of our potential working relationship going forward.
Given the above, it is recommended that we extend the current agreement through
February 2005. In the mean time we will complete our negotiations and prepare a
recommendation for future action be the E.D.A.

31, 2004; and
WHEREAS, the EDA believes that the community would be well served to extend

MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Brad Hoffman, Community Development Director
DATE: December 9, 2004
SUBJECT: EDA Acquisitions
Monday evening the EDA will have before them two (2) resolutions authorizing the of
acquisition of 2500 County Rd 10 better known as Brookdale Ford and 5900 Shingle Creek
Parkway better know as Brookdale Square. The resolutions approve the acquisitions through the
use of eminent domain to include the use of quick take.
The acquisitions of these two (2) parcels represent the initial phase towards the
redevelopment of the area commonly referred to as the "Opportunity Site ". It would be the intent
• of the EDA have control of the approximate 38 acres in order to solicit development proposals
from qualified developers by the fall of 2005. The redevelopment sought for the site would be
consistent with the standards and guidelines that will be developed over the next few months
with the assistance of a site planning consultant and a citizens task force appointed by the EDA.
The redevelopment of this area would be consistent with the directions of the EDA to staff to
seek redevelopment along 57 Ave. Also, the acquisition of these to adjoining parcels creates a
large enough redevelopment area to attract significant interest from large qualified developers
and have a positive impact on surrounding properties.
The owners of the properties (Brookdale Ford- Oren & Elizabeth Powell and Brookdale
Square — Heritage Investment Trust) have been notified of the meeting.
•
• Commissioner introduced the following resolution and
moved its adoption:
EDA RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY
FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF OPPORTUNITY SITE, PHASE I (BROOKDALE
FORD SITE)
WHEREAS, the Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority (the
`EDA "), a body corporate and politic organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Minnesota, has the power to engage in development and redevelopment activities pursuant to
Minn. Stat. §§ 469.090 to 469.018 and related statutes; and
WHEREAS, there has been duly adopted and is now in legal effect a Modified
Redevelopment Plan for Housing Development and Redevelopment Project No. 1, which was
initially adopted by the Brooklyn Center Housing and Redevelopment Authority and the
Brooklyn Center City Council on July 22, 1985, which initial plan has been subsequently
modified and amended by various resolutions; and
WHEREAS, the EDA has become concerned about the present status of that
property which is located west of Minnesota Highway No. 100, north of Bass Lake Road, and
east of Shingle Creek Parkway, which property includes the Brookdale Square and Grossman
• Ford properties. The EDA has observed that the valuation of the Brookdale Square property by
the Brooklyn Center City Assessor shows a land value of $3,600,000 and a building value of
only $200,000, and that the valuation of the Grossman Ford property shows a land value of
$3,194,000 and a building value of only $206,000, which numbers are significantly
disproportionate and suggest that the physical improvements located on the two properties are
nearing the end of their economic usefulness and that such properties are in need of
redevelopment. Representatives of Brooklyn Center have met and discussed these and other
concerns with representatives of the Metropolitan Council and have designated this
redevelopment area as "Opportunity Site, Phase I "; and
WHEREAS, the current condition of the properties located within the boundaries
of the Opportunity Site, Phase I consist primarily of older, single story retail and service types of
buildings which have become economically obsolescent and a blighting influence and which
exhibit dilapidation, deferred maintenance, a layout that is not conducive to modern retailing and
business standards, excessive vacancy, and constitute a blighting and negative influence upon the
adjacent neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, the location of the Opportunity Site, Phase I is strategically
positioned such that it has visibility to a major state highway, good local and regional access, and
is within the zone of influence of developments such as Brookdale Shopping Center and the Earl
Browne area; and
•
• EDA RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the EDA has become concerned that the downward slide and
blighting influence of the properties located within the Opportunity Site, Phase I are exerting a
negative impact on nearby property values, and that by assisting in the redevelopment of the
Opportunity Site, Phase I, the EDA can eliminate a blighting influence, assist in creating new
development opportunities and an increase in the tax base, and provide for an improvement in
the properties to the betterment of the health and welfare of the citizens of Brooklyn Center; and
WHEREAS, the staff of the EDA has been considering possible redevelopment
alternatives for the property, and has concluded that it is appropriate and necessary for the EDA
to proceed as quickly as reasonably practicable with the acquisition of the properties within the
Opportunity Site, Phase I; and
WHEREAS, the EDA has determined and believes based upon the report of its
staff and the determination of its Board of Commissioners that it will serve a public purpose and
is reasonably necessary in fulfilling the goals and objectives of the EDA as a redevelopment
agency for the EDA to acquire that property which is legally described as Lot 2, Block 2,
Brookdale Square, Hennepin County, Minnesota, which property is presently the site for the
operations of Grossman Ford (the "Real Property "); and
• WHEREAS, the EDA has concluded that an acquisition of the Real Property is in
the best interests of the EDA and the City of Brooklyn Center, because it will assist in improving
the health, safety, morals and welfare of the citizens of the City of Brooklyn Center, and that
such acquisition is in accordance with the public purpose and provisions of all applicable state
and local laws; and
WHEREAS, the EDA believes and determines that without its acquisition of the
Real Property, future redevelopment opportunities for the Opportunity Site, Phase I are at risk
and will not proceed, whereby the City of Brooklyn Center will lose the benefits to be received
from the redevelopment of the Opportunity Site, Phase I; and
WHEREAS, the Brooklyn Center EDA has provided notice of a public meeting to
be held concerning the proposed acquisition of the Real Property to those persons having an
interest in the Real Property, the EDA has held such meeting, and all persons having interests in
the Real Property were allowed to address any and all concerns to the EDA Board.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Economic Development
Authority in and for the City of Brooklyn Center, in view of the foregoing which are hereby
adopted as findings of fact, hereby resolves as follows:
1. The EDA hereby determines that it is in the public interest and is necessary for
purposes of proceeding with a proposed redevelopment of the Opportunity Site, Phase I, for the
EDA to acquire through negotiation with the property owner or by eminent domain the Real
• Property as described above.
I
e EDA RESOLUTION NO.
2. The acquisition of the Real Property is hereby determined to be necessary to carry
out a redevelopment project and to fulfill the goals and objectives of the Redevelopment Plan for
Housing Development and Redevelopment Project No. 1, which plan is hereby modified as
necessary to provide for the acquisition of the Real Property.
3. The acquisition of the Real Property is reasonably necessary for and fulfills the
public purpose of assisting to eliminate a blighting influence and provide a site for future
redevelopment, which will provide for an increase in the tax base, and will result in an
improvement to the health and welfare of the citizens of Brooklyn Center.
4. For the reasons set forth herein and because of a concern that delays in the
assemblage of the properties needed for a redevelopment of the Opportunity Site, Phase I will
delay private redevelopment, the EDA hereby deems it necessary to proceed without delay under
Minn. Stat § 117.042 and to pay to the owners or into the District Court a sum of money to
secure compensation to the owners of interests in the Real Property, which amount shall be equal
to the petitioner's approved appraisal of value as determined by the EDA staff and legal counsel.
The EDA hereby specifically authorizes and intends that its legal counsel shall acquire the Real
Property pursuant to the provisions of Minn. Stat. § 117.042, and use the "quick take" procedure
in acquiring title to the Real Property.

61 City of Brooklyn Center
A Millennium Community
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Michael J. McCauley, City Manage
DATE: December 9, 2004
SUBJECT: Urban Design Consultant
Attached please find a memorandum from Mr. Hoffman outlining a recommendation developed
by the committee that reviewed proposals from planning firms. As contemplated in the schedule
established by the City Council and Economic Development Authority, it is necessary to engage
the services of a planning firm as soon as possible in order to begin work with the Task Force in
January and be ready to proceed with public meetings in March. As indicated in Mr. Hoffman's
memo, the reviewing committee of Mayor Kragness, Mr. Hoffinan, Mr. Blomstrom, and myself
felt that the proposal made by Damon Farber and their interview demonstrated the greatest
• understanding of the specific opportunities and challenges facing us in developing a set of
criteria and a framework that will meet our needs in a fashion that reflects the marketplace's
realities. The Damon Farber interview clearly identified that they had done specific thinking
about the opportunity site, its transportation resources, and the need to creatively view potential
reconfiguration. Among the firms reviewed, Damon Farber had a particularly good track record
of being involved in the development of plans that have resulted in actual construction of
proj ects.
As indicated in Mr. Hoffman's memorandum, the hourly rates for the three firms that were seen
as being appropriate for further consideration based on the interviews, were generally very
similar. In addition to requesting information after the interviews regarding hourly rates, we also
inquired as to estimated cost for the project. Based on the meeting that we had with Damon
Farber going over the specifics, the Damon Farber estimated cost was around $220,000. This is
an amount that can be reduced through negotiation and would be specified with respect to hourly
compensation. The other two firms, which had not done as detailed a description of services to
the level provided by Damon Farber, estimated costs in the range of $108,000 to $147,000,
without including all of the market and other study development components identified in the
Damon Farber proposal and the Request for Proposal. In any event, a contract entered into for
the provision of these services will reflect an hourly rate, with controls on an amount not to be
exceeded in total compensation. While the rough estimates indicate a variance between
estimates between the three firms of the hours required to fulfill the requirements (or left
components out), the hourly rates would be basically identical, except if we were to use a
principal from the DSU Group which would be substantially higher. We would request that the
6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Phone & TDD Number
Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 -2199 (763) 569 -3400
City Hall & TDD Number (763) 569 -3300 FAX (763) 569 -3434
FAX (763) 569 -3494
www.cityolbrooklyncenter.org
Economic Development Authority authorize the negotiation and execution of a contract for
• planning services with Damon Farber for an amount not to exceed $200,000. This would
establish a project budget for planning services which will be paid from Tax Increment District
#3 and keep the process moving forward. As indicated, depending on the actual course of this
planning process, the Economic Development Authority and/or the Task Force may request
additional public meetings and /or work in this process. Should we approach exceeding the
contract not to exceed limit of $200,000, the matter would come before the Economic
Development Authority to authorize or not authorize the purchase of additional services as the
project went forward.
The most essential part of evaluating the planning firms is the determination which firm is the
best fit at this time to bring the project forward.

Opportunity Site; and
WHEREAS, request for proposals were solicited and four firms were interviewed in
response to the proposals that were received; and
WHEREAS, the committee reviewing the proposals recommended the selection of
the group headed by Damon Farber to provide these services.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Economic Development Authority
in and for the City of Brooklyn Center that the President and Executive Director of the EDA be and
hereby are authorized to enter into an agreement on behalf of the EDA with Damon Farber for the
provision of planning services as set forth in the request for proposals with a contract amount not to

MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Brad Hoffman, Community Development Director
DATE: December 9 2004
SUBJECT: Urban Design Consultant
At the September 27, 2004 EDA meeting, EDA Resolution 2004 -08 authorizing the
solicitation of proposals for urban design/planning was passed. The resolution approved a
"Request For Qualifications" (attached) for urban design services for a mixed use development
with a defined scope of services. The specific site subject of the RFQ was the area north of 57
Ave., east of Shingle Creek Parkway, south of Summit Drive and west of Highway 100.
The RFQ was sent to 18 firms and 9 responded by the October 19, 2004 deadline. Staff
• reviewed the proposals and selected 4 firms for interviews. The interviews were held on Friday,
November 19,2004. The interviews were conducted by Mayor Kragness, City Manager
McCauley, Public Works Director Blomstrom and myself. The firms interviewed included the
Cunningham Group, Barbour Le Douceur/DSU, Damon Farber & Associates and the Hoisington
Koegler Group. The firms selected for an interview were chosen because of the completeness of
their proposals, the experience of their proposed teams and success in getting projects built.
Following the interview process Damon Farber was the consensus of all of the
interviewers with lesser consideration for the Barbour/DSU group and the Hoisington Group. It
was the consensus of the group that the Cunningham Group would not be a good fit. Following
the interviews, the City Manager and myself met with Damon Farber to discuss the project in
greater detail. We requested that he provide us with,a rough scope of service proposal along with
cost estimates. We also requested cost estimates and more importantly hourly rates from both the
Hoisington Group and the Barbour/DSU Group. The hourly rates for all of the groups were quite
similar ar wrth the exception of the Barbour/DSU Group who charge $70 per hour more for the
involvement of principals. The Hoisington Group is somewhat intriguing especially with their
architect from Denver but overall the quality and experience of the Damon Farber Group I
believe best suits the needs of the City. They were heavily involved in the St. Louis Park
redevelopment and are highly recommended by their City Manager. It would be my
recommendation that the EDA direct staff to negotiate a "not to exceed agreement" with the
Damon Farber Group for execution by the Executive Director. Execution of an agreement would
keep us on the schedule adopted by the EDA in November.

• CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
URBAN DESIGN SERVICES FOR MD ED USE DEVELOPMENT
I. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The City of Brooklyn Center through its Economic Development Authority (EDA) is
calling for Requests For Qualifications (RFQ) to obtain urban planning and design
services to assist the City to take the results of a study performed by Calthorpe Associates
and develop design criteria that can be incorporated into requests for redevelopment
proposals for the area.
The Opportunity Site Study Area is approximately 92 acres in size (including streets) and
is generally described by the following:
The Study Area is bounded by County Road 10 (Bass Lake Road) on the south, Shingle
Creek Parkway on the west, Summit Drive on the north and Highway 100 and Summit
Drive on the east.
An aerial photograph showing the boundaries of the Study Area is included with this
RFQ.
• For purposes of the work to be undertaken in this project, it should be assumed that the
Study Area has been cleared of all buildings and improvements exclusive of streets and
utilities.
The goal of the City's RFQ for Urban Design Services is to create a set of Illustrative
Concepts to guide redevelopment over time, including Design and Development
Standards, for the Study Area that will establish a distinctive and desirable design, while
allowing flexibility to respond to the market forces of development.
II. SCOPE OF REQUESTED SERVICES
A. Meet with city staff to initiate project and tour the Study Area. Review base line
information on Study Area including:
• City's Comprehensive Plan
• Opportunity Site Information
• Other Relevant Data and Plans
B. Create Illustrative Concept Plans for the Study Area, incorporating Smart Growth
principles that address street layout guidelines /options, public sidewalks, walkways,
and open space and the provision of connections between areas within the
Opportunity Site, as well as with existing trail systems and walkways. Criteria should
include an ability to evaluate the degree to which proposals would create public
1
• gathering or plaza areas to accommodate special public events, as well as to create a
unifying element for phases of redevelopment. The criteria developed should provide
guidance for designated parking, both on street and off street parking. Off street
parking must be predominately structured parking with some surface parking lots.
C. Create Design and Development Standards for site, buildings and improvements in
the Study Area. The purpose of the Design and Development Standards is to provide
a framework, which will guide development in the Study Area and enable the City of
Brooklyn Center to seek and evaluate private development proposals. The Design
and Development Standards should address the following:
• Design Guidelines for building facades in Study Area including architectural
style and design details for building facades including a palette of materials
and colors.
• Create development standards addressing such items as building height and
mass, setbacks and parking, sign, lighting and landscaping specifications.
• Parking standards for the Study Area should address both on street and off
street parking. Off street parking should be predominantly structured parking.
• Signage standards should address public signage as well as building signage
including dimensions, height, location, distance from wall, fascia signage,
lighted signs, etc.
• Lighting standards should address both public areas, including streets and
walkways and lighting on building exteriors.
• Landscaping standards for the Study Area should address street and public
walkways with the goals of providing a sense of enclosure for urban
walkways and a depth and texture to the building facade.
D. Prioritization of Urban Design and Development Features and Development of
Requests for Proposal (RFP) for Development of Study Area.
The consultant will assist the city with preparation of an RFP for development of a
mixed use project in the Study Area. The design plan should serve as a guide and
evaluation tool in the developer selection process.
It is important that the consultant consider the interactions between the designs and
standards expressed in the design and development standards and the market forces
affecting private development proposals. The consultant should develop an
evaluation framework defining those design and development standards contained in
the plan that are required and those that are negotiable in the RFP development
process.
2
• E. Modification of Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
The consultant shall assist the City in any modifications to the City's Comprehensive
Plan and/or Zoning Ordinance necessary to implement the design and development
standards.
F. Meetings
The consultant will meet with City staff and a citizen task force to be appointed by
the City Council as needed to review information and plan for public meetings and
presentation and for staff and task force review and comment on draft and final
versions of the Illustrative Concept Plan for the Study Plan Area, Design and
Development Standards for site, buildings, and improvements in the Study Area,
Prioritization of Urban Design and Development Features, and Development of
Requests for Proposals for Development of the Study Area.
The consultant will be required to conduct three public meetings:
• Two public meetings to present and discuss the design and development standards
and plan with the general public.
• One public meeting with the City Council and chairs of city advisory
• commissions and to present and discuss the design and development standards
and plan to the City Council and the general public.
