President 10/23/00 -2- DRAFT • EDA Agenda Item No. 4a MEMORANDUM TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager FROM: Tom Bublitz, Community Development Specialist DATE: November 7, 2000 SUBJECT: Public Hearing Regarding Sale of Economic Development Authority (EDA) Owned Property Located at Willow Lane and 252 At the October 9, 2000 Economic Development Authority (EDA) meeting the EDA approved Resolution No. 2000 -18 which: ► Authorized the EDA Executive Director to negotiate a purchase agreement for the sale of the EDA owned property west of Willow Lane and east of Highway 252, to Eagle Crest Northwest Inc. ► Authorized a public hearing for November 13, 2000 on the sale of the property to Eagle Crest Northwest Inc. for the development of 21 single family detached townhomes. The following is a summary of information items and issues relative to the sale of the EDA owned property at Willow Lane and 252. ► The property proposed for redevelopment is located east of 252 and is bounded by 66th Avenue North on the north, Willow Lane on the east, 65th Avenue North on the south and Highway 252 on the west. According to tax records, the site is comprised of four separate parcels totaling approximately 4.49 acres, excluding the land area currently occupied by the frontage road next to 252 which is approximately .63 acres. A map showing the location of the proposed project is included with this memorandum. The development proposed by Eagle Crest Northwest is for 21 single family detached townhomes. The homes would be single level ramblers, which would be marketed to the 55 - 70 year old so called "empty nester" market and would sell for between $170,000 and $200,000. Copies of sample elevation sketches of the units along with a concept sketch plan of the proposed development are included with this memorandum. Also included is a material specification sheet on the proposed homes. ► The existing site is approximately 4.49 acres currently zoned C1. The site is an assemblage of four separate land parcels. All four parcels are currently tax exempt and owned by the • EDA. In addition to the 4.49 acres of existing properties, the development site would include an additional .63 acres obtained from the vacation of the frontage road between Highway 252 MEMORANDUM November 7, 2000 Page 2 and the development parcels for a total of 5.12 acres. No survey exists for the property at present and the estimates of the size of the parcel is based on current assessing and engineering records. ► Zoning of the site is C 1 commercial. For development of the site, as residential townhomes, staff recommends a PUD using an R3 as the underlying zoning district for the PUD. A summary of the ordinance requirement relative to the development are: ► Re- zoning of the property from C1 to Residential. ► Vacation of the frontage road by ordinance. ► Preliminary and final plat approval. Two additional issues unique to this property and relating to the sale and development of the property are as follows: • ► The Premier Mechanical building, housing a mechanical contracting business and located on the northwest corner of the development site, was demolished in 1996. The building was initially built at a gasoline service station. In the course of completing the demolition of the Premier Mechanical building, two hydraulic hoists located in the old garage area of the building, along with an oil and water separator which collected oil from the floor drain, were removed as part of the demolition. The hoists and oil and water separator contents were removed in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations and approximately 110 gallons of oil and water were removed from the hoists and separator trap and disposed of as per EPA guidelines. Soil samples were taken during demolition and removal of the hoists and oil and water separator. A consulting engineering firm collected soil samples that indicated the presence of diesel range organics (DRO) directly beneath the removed oil and water separator. The contamination was not visible in the excavated soil but was detected at 720 parts per million in laboratory analysis. The amount of petroleum detected is not a regulated release as per Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regulations and no regulatory actions were required. While no further remediation action is required for the site, any disturbance of the impacted soils is regulated by the state. Therefore, if any contamination is found during the course of development, the PCA must be notified. Staff believes the presence of contamination is unlikely but if any is found it must be remediated as per PCA requirements. ► The second issue also affects the Premier Mechanical property. In 1994, the EDA received O a grant from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) in the amount of $275,000 under the Community Rehabilitation Fund Program. Eligible uses of grant funds included, • MEMORANDUM November 7, 2000 Page 3 among other things acquisition and demolition. The EDA used the $275,000 in grant funds to assist in the purchase of the Premier Mechanical building. Under the terms of the MHFA grant, the dollar amount of $275,000 had to be tied to a specific property. Because of the timing of the deadline for expending grant funds, the EDA used the grant funds to assist in the purchase of the Premier Mechanical property. One of the requirements of the Community Rehabilitation Fund Program was that any housing units constructed on the property purchased with Community Rehabilitation Funds could not be sold to individuals or households with incomes over 115% of median income as determined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. If we look at the site occupied by the old Premier Mechanical Building, purchased with EDA funds and grant funds, the site is w - approximately 1.18 acres which represents 23% of the total 5.12 acre development site. Under the terms of the Community Rehabilitation Fund Program, 23% or 5 of the 21 single family townhouse units would have to be sold to households with gross incomes of no more than 115% of area median income which, at the present time is $78,890. The two issues described above will be addressed in the proposed development agreement between the EDA and Eagle Crest Northwest Inc. Staff is in the process of finalizing the terms of the • purchase agreement and has not yet presented a final document to the developer. Staff recommends that the EDA open the public hearing on the sale of the property to Eagle Crest Northwest and continue the hearing to the December 11, 2000 meeting to provide additional time to finalize the terms of development agreement. On November 6, 2000 representatives of Eagle Crest Northwest Inc. met with approximately 40 residents in the area of the proposed development, at a Riverwood Neighborhood Association meeting held at the Brooklyn Center Community Center. City staff did not attend the meeting, but the developer indicated response to the proposed development, from those residents at the meeting, was positive. Representatives from Eagle Crest Northwest will be in attendance at the November 13, 2000 EDA meeting to respond to any questions the EDA Board may have regarding the November 6, 2000 neighborhood meeting. • r LOCATION MAP ' RIVE *WW LN / bK FH AVE N N 1 L HIGH Y 252 L LN AVE N I 65TFFM E 11 HIG Y 252 BADE 4 AVE N I LILAC DR N ' - HIGH 252 I B HWY252 TO 1 94 I WIl Lh /�N HIGH WA 252 / I r WB 14 T B I IM,252 1694 TO SB SB HWY252 TO 16 HIG Y 252 TATS. 694 _ 11r.
