Summary Explanation: (supporting documentation attached No City staff was recently contacted by a local builder, Dave Brandvold, regarding an interest in two of the EDA's single- family lots. The lots are located at 5900 Emerson Avenue North and 6601 Bryant Avenue North and were purchased by the EDA and cleared of blighted, single - family properties. The City has had mixed results marketing the lots and had agreed to sell the 6601 Bryant lot for construction of a new, single - family home. Unfortunately, the 6601 Bryant buyer could not sell his existing home and did not follow through on the purchase. Presently, staff is working with an intern, a student in the University of Minnesota's Housing Program and City Housing Commission member, who is working to assist City staff with developing some marketing options for the EDA scattered site lots. Staff is planning to discuss the marketing and development of the scattered site lots at an upcoming work session in July. In response to Mr. Brandvold's interest, staff has prepared a resolution that would authorize the advertisement for sale of the two lots at 6601 Bryant Avenue North and 5900 Emerson Avenue North. Mr. Brandvold has developed a number of single - family lots in the City, including homes on EDA lots at 5340 Colfax Avenue North and 5538 Colfax Avenue North, and in staff s opinion has developed high quality housing on these lots. • A summary of information relative to the two lots follows: • Both lots are located in R -1 zoning districts, and both are corner lots. Request For Council Consideration Page 2 • Lot dimensions for the 5900 Emerson Avenue North lot are 73' x 134' with 9782 square feet • and 132' x 133' for 6601 Bryant Avenue North with 17,556 square feet. A standard corner lot in the City of Brooklyn Center has 90' of frontage with 10,500 square feet of area. • The City Assessor's office has established values for both lots. The established range of value for 5900 Emerson is $18,500 to $23,000. The range of value established for 6601 Bryant Avenue North is $24,000 to $27,500. The primary comparables used to establish these values were from the Twin View Meadows Subdivision in Brooklyn Center. • As a comparison, staff contacted the cities of Robbinsdale and Crystal to find out what values have been established for their scattered site lots. Generally, Robbinsdale has smaller lots with its 40' lots valued at approximately $18,000 and 50' lots valued at $22,000. Crystal's larger lots, with 130' feet to 140' of frontage, are valued at $24,000 to $27,000. Crystal's smaller standard lots, with 65' to 90' of frontage, are valued at $17,000 to $22,000. The attached resolution authorizes the advertisement for sale of the two lots, including an advertisement for quotes and procedures for accepting offers and counteroffers. In addition to publishing the ad, staff would also send notices to several builders in addition to Mr. Brandvold. • Any proposals for development of the lots would be reviewed and approved by the EDA prior to the sale of the lots. Commissioner introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: EDA RESOLUTION NO.

DRAFT 6/9/95 REQUEST FOR DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS FOR THE m 69TH AVENUE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT i BROOKLYN BOULEVARD AND 69TH AVENUE Economic Development Authority in and for the City of Brooklyn Center July 11, 1995 INVITATION FOR PROPOSALS The Economic Development Authority in and for the City of Brooklyn Center (EDA) invites developers to submit proposals for the purpose of redeveloping the area around the Brooklyn Boulevard and 69th Avenue intersection in the City of Brooklyn Center. The 69th Avenue redevelopment area is located along Brooklyn Boulevard, which is one of the main thoroughfares in Brooklyn Center with an average daily traffic volume (ADT) of close to 47,000 vehicles a day. Brooklyn Boulevard is the City's primary commercial corridor and the project area is within two blocks of the interchange with I -694. Because Brooklyn Boulevard needs to be widened and because some of the adjoining parcels are underutilized or incompatible with the proposed character of the corridor, the City of Brooklyn Center is seeking developers to work with the City in redeveloping the area for higher- density housing, neighborhood commercial, and/or medical or general office uses. The intent of the proposal process is to identify and select a development team(s) which is(are) interested in pursuing, together with the City, the acquisition of the required parcels and the redevelopment of the project properties. All proposals for this redevelopment project should be addressed to Ron Warren, Planning and Zoning Specialist, and must be delivered to the office of the City of Brooklyn Center EDA at 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430, no later than 4:00 PM, Friday, August 11, 1995. Request for 69th Avenue Development Proposals 2 Redevelopment Area REQUEST FOR DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS BACKGROUND The Brooklyn Boulevard corridor, which is Hennepin County Road 152, serves as a commercial district, major roadway, gateway, and a community link for Brooklyn Center (Figure 1 - Area Context, identifies the location of the corridor and the project area). Over the years, Brooklyn Boulevard has been undergoing a major transformation from a low- density residential street to a major commercial arterial. Along with this change have come pressures to accommodate more traffic and to intensify the land uses along the corridor. In order to address the issues in the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor, the City conducted a comprehensive study to provide direction and guidance for improvements and redevelopments in the corridor. The "Brooklyn Boulevard Streetscaping Amenities Study ", dated May 1994 (copies of the study report are available for review from the EDA), documents the study conclusions and recommendations and forms the basis for the proposed redevelopment of the 69th Avenue area. In response to the traffic and land use pressures, four projects are being undertaken in the vicinity of the proposed redevelopment project area and are currently in the planning or design development stages. The first project is the widening by Hennepin County of Brooklyn Boulevard to increase traffic capacity and safety and to improve access to the commercial properties in the corridor. The City and Hennepin County have obtained federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds to widen Brooklyn Boulevard from 65th Avenue to 71st Avenue in order to accommodate increases in traffic, which are expected to reach average daily traffic volumes of 54,000 vehicles a day by the year 2010. The widening will occur predominantly on the east side of the roadway, which will require the acquisition and redevelopment of a number of parcels. The second project is the enhancement of Brooklyn Boulevard. The EDA has obtained a $500,000 federal ISTEA Transportation Enhancement Program (TEP) grant for enhancing Brooklyn Boulevard. Request for 69th Avenue Development Proposals 3 Redevelopment Area The enhancements will include new sidewalks, street and ornamental lighting, landscaping treatments along the roadway and at the intersections, and special entry monuments and gateways at the access points to the City. The third project is the construction of a new Metropolitan Council Transit Operations (MCTO) park - and -ride facility west of Brooklyn Boulevard, just south of I -694. The fourth project, which is the subject of this request for development proposals, is the redevelopment of the Brooklyn Boulevard and 69th Avenue intersection area. Completion of these four projects will result in a dramatic upgrading and improvement of the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor and are intended to serve as a catalyst for further upgrading of the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor, as well as the rest of the City. PROJECT DESCRIPTION . Existing Conditions The proposed 69th Avenue Redevelopment Project (Figure 2), which is located at the Brooklyn Boulevard and 69th Avenue intersection, includes three distinct areas (Figure 3): AREA A Area A, which is bounded by 69th Avenue on the south, Brooklyn Boulevard on the west, 70th Avenue on the north, and the property boundary between June and Indiana Avenues on the east, is approximately acres in size. Currently, the area consists of a mixture of small commercial developments and single- family uses. Due to the widening of Brooklyn Boulevard, all the properties in Area A along Brooklyn Boulevard will be acquired for redevelopment. The acquisition of the rest of the parcels will need to be completed by the developer and the EDA. Primary vehicular access to this area will be from 70th Street. A secondary vehicular access point will be provided from 69th Avenue. Request for 69th Avenue Development Proposals 4 Redevelopment Area AREA B Area B, which is bounded by 70th Avenue on the south, Brooklyn Boulevard on the west, commercial and residential developments on the north, and St. Alphonsus Church and School on the east, is approximately acres in size. This area includes a small office building which is owned by the EDA, a small apartment building, two single - family houses, and St. Alphonsus Church and School property. St. Alphonsus Church has expressed an interest to divest itself of some of its excess property and will entertain redevelopment proposals for this area. Primary vehicular access to this area will be from 70th Avenue. A secondary right- in/right -out access point may be developed from Brooklyn Boulevard north of 70th Avenue. a AREA C Area C, which is bounded by 69th Avenue on the south, single - family uses on the west, and Brooklyn Boulevard on the northeast, is approximately acres in size. This area includes a gas station and single - family uses. Prim vehicular access to this are will from Primary a be Brooklyn Boulevard at 70th Avenue and from 69th Avenue at Lee Avenue. Redevelopment Program All three areas, described above, are slated for redevelopment. For this purpose, the EDA has established a Tax Increment District which encompasses all three parcels. The intent is that the EDA and the selected developer will work as a team to accomplish the area redevelopment. In the preliminary planning, the following types of developments have been identified as desirable for the three redevelopment areas: Request for 69th Avenue Development Proposals 5 Redevelopment Area • Medium - density senior housing -- 100 units • Neighborhood- oriented commercial -- 60,000 S.F. • Medical or general office -- 80,000 to 100,000 S.F. More specifically, the three areas have been identified for the following uses: Area A for medical clinic /office or neighborhood- oriented commercial; Area B for medium- density senior housing or medical clinic /office; and Area C for neighborhood - oriented commercial or medical clinic /office. The City would look more favorably upon proposals with a significant medical clinic /office component. Although these generalized land uses are considered to be the most desirable, other uses or proposals may be considred by the City. In order to redevelop the three areas to higher- density uses, stormwater storage and treatment needs to be provided. The EDA is developing comprehensive plan to provide one stormwater storage and g 1? P P g treatment pond for all three areas. The proposed stormwater storage and treatment pond, which will be approximately two acres in area, will be located in Area B, with the preferred location being along Brooklyn Boulevard. The pond will be developed as an amenity and a buffer for the proposed residential developments with landscaping treatments around the pond's periphery. The City desires a high - quality development for this area to complement the public infrastructure improvements and to provide new residential opportunities and commercial services for the adjoining neighborhoods. To this end, a set of development guidelines were developed as part of the Brooklyn Boulevard Streetscape Amenities Study. A copy of the guidelines, including examples of desirable development options, is attached. The developers are encouraged to integrate these guidelines in their proposed developments. The City of Brooklyn Center EDA intends to be an active participant in the implementation of these redevelopment projects. City participation in the projects may include assistance in assembling the sites, assistance in negotiations with property owners, and/or assistance with infrastructure improvements, such as the development of the stormwater storage and treatment ponds. The nature and level of City participation will depend on the quality and value of the developments. The Request for 69th Avenue Development Proposals 6 Redevelopment Area developers may propose developments for any one of the three areas or for any combination of the three areas. Redevelopment Timing The overall schedule for redevelopment of this area is relatively flexible, except that the City does desire to redevelop Areas A and B in conjuction with the widening of Brooklyn Boulevard, which is scheduled to be completed in 1997. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS Submittals for this proposal, which may be in written format, should describe the developer's approach and proposed development program and project design. Concept plans or schematic diagrams would be helpful, although not essential. In addition, the proposers are asked to include the following: • A description of the expectations the developer has for City/EDA involvement and/or participation in the development project(s) • An outline and description of the development team • A list of related development experience and projects • References EVALUATION CRITERIA The proposals will be evaluated on the developer's ability to meet the City's overall development objectives, the project's fiscal impact on the City, the developer's history and experience in successfully completing similar projects, and the general quality and character of the proposed developments as well as completed, projects. n Request for 69th Avenue Development Proposals 7 Redevelopment Area The City of Brooklyn Center reserves the right to amend and/or adjust the development program and selection criteria based on the type of proposals received and their ability to satisfy overall City goals and objectives. DEVELOPER SELECTION AND TIME FRAME The City of Brooklyn Center/EDA staff will review all proposals which are submitted in response to this Request for Development Proposals. In preparing the proposals, the developers are encouraged to meet with the City/EDA staff and/or to submit gestions or requests for additional information in writing. The City/EDA staff will recommend from one to three developers to the City Council, acting as the EDA Board, for further consideration. The EDA Board will select a developer, or more than one developer if different developers make proposals for different areas, to enter into an Exclusive Development Agreement. The City Council may interview or direct City/EDA staff to interview one or all of the recommended development teams.

REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Recommended Development Guidelines In many cases, the City may not be able to select, unless it is a participant in the redevelopment process, the types of developments which occur or the site layouts. However, the one area where the City can exert some control is in development guidelines which could be applied to the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor. Development guidelines, applied to redevelopment projects or new developments, could help mitigate undesirable features and create the type of environment the City desires for the Brook- lyn Boulevard Corridor. The proposed development guidelines are illustrated 'in a sample development (Figure 27), which consists of a single -story commercial retail complex located at an intersection. This example is not meant to represent a recommended development. It is being used to demonstrate how the guidelines might be applied to a typical situation in today's marketplace. Following are the recommended development guidelines for the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor. 1. Redevelopment Project Location at Intersections. Redevelopment projects should be, preferably, located in one quadrant of an intersection, or at least on one side of Brooklyn Boulevard, not both. A project should not try to link both sides of Brooklyn Boulevard with pedestrian circula- tion. 2. Development Densities. Development densities and site coverage in the Corridor should be generally increased. The appearance of the corridor should become somewhat more "urban." The increased densities should be complemented by improved design details, landscaping, lighting and signage. 3. Vehicular Access Points. Vehicular access points should be set back from major street intersections and other driveways as far as possible, - according to individual site conditions and accepted traffic engineering standards. As a general rule, driveways on Brooklyn Boulevards should be at least 150 feet from major intersections. Vehicles should be able to circulate, as much as possible, between adjoining sites so as to minimize congestion on the public streets. 4. Adjoining Single - Family Neighborhoods should be Protected. Any single- family residential neighborhoods, which abut the developments along Brooklyn Boulevard, should be protected or screened from adverse Brooklyn Boulevard Streetscape Amenities Study 65 - -� -1 r ------- p # 1 P ary i I Exp ided Redevrcoptnent i Redevereepnlent i S S e '0 (One c ( t f (Onc Qttntlrntttwr interscmon) on " ( Q'�'.�,,,,l�mt.ersccia�m.>mr Parking ° o Internal "�{ p i (Acrosstollector I -Site y i From Prigia irettIati ry Site) / Sy titem fl v_ � j { l °!

REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM visual impacts. Building heights and massing should be reduced adjacent to single- family housing. In all cases, landscaping, berming and /or fencing should separate commercial and residential activities; commercial traffic should be directed away from residential streets; and commercial lighting should be directed away from housing. Hours of business operation near housing should be regulated in cases where they may have a negative impact on the housing. S. Physical Design Continuity. There should be physcial design continuity along the Corridor within the public right -of -way as well as the private developments. This should be achieved primarily through the public landscaping and lighting improvements, but should be supplemented by private landscaping, parking lot screening, and facade and roofline treatments. ii 6. Visual Focal Features. Major private developments should include a visual focal feature, such as a clock tower, entry arch, or other architec- tural element, to serve as memorable and meaningful landmarks. 7. Corridor Edge Treatments. The edges of the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor should be clearly defined. This can be accomplished by several means: 0 Locating buildings or parts of buildings close to the edge of the street right -of -way ® Locating a building at the point of each intersection corner Buffering the edges of parking lots with berming, plantings, and /or _ fencing When a building is set back from the street right -of -way, there should be no more than one bay parking of arkin between the sidewalk along the street and the building. Also, building setbacks not separated from the street by parking should be landscaped. 8. Building Wall Treatments. Building walls along Brooklyn Boulevard should not be blank. All walls facing streets or walkways should include windows, doors, openings, or other treatments which would help mitigate the "unfriendly" appearance of blank walls. At a minimum, display windows should be used. This will improve the aesthetic environment for both motorists and pedestrians. Brooklyn Boulevard Streetscape Amenities Study 66 IX. REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 9. Roof Shapes. Roofs of buildings in the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor should not be flat. Sloping, peaked, gabled, or shed roof designs would add visual variety and would help to reinforce the "Earl Brown Heritage Center Theme ", which has been selected for the Corridor. 10. Parking Lot Treatments. Islands in parking lots should be landscaped for visual relief and enhancement. All parking lots which adjoin Brooklyn Boulevard, including the lots of automobile dealerships, should be screened with a continuous row of dense landscaping, at least two feet tall, or an ornamental fence or railing. 11. Materials and Colors. A degree of compatibility, but not uniformity, should be brought to new private developments through the use of materials and colors selected from a recommended common palette. The major concern should be regarding low- quality materials and garish colors. t 12. Treatment Consistency. The appearance of all sides of a building should be consistent in terms of the quality of materials and finishes. Screen walls and landscaping may be used as a substitute for a change of materi- als on rear walls, or walls which may not be visible by the general public. 13. Pedestrian Circulation. Pedestrians should be able to move with comfort and security between the public sidewalks and private developments and between buildings on the same site. As much as possible, pedestrian walks should be provided directly between adjoining developments to encourage more pedestrian use. Pedestrian routes from the street to the building entrances and through. each site should be clearly defined using building massing and architec- ture, sidewalks, landscaping and lighting. Awnings and arcades over windows and doors should be employed to protect pedestrians from the elements. 14. Bicyclist Facilities. Each development should include a bicycle rack(s), and sidewalk ramps should be installed at curbs for both bicyclists and the disabled. 15. Outdoor Eating and /or Seating. Developers should be encouraged to incorporated, whenever possible, outdoor eating facilities, such as sidewalk cafes or outdoor eating for restaurants, and outdoor seating. Brooklyn Boulevard Streetscape Amenities Study 67 IX. REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 16. Signs. Signs along Brooklyn Boulevard should be designed to comple- ment and enhance the Corridor. ® Freestanding signs should have a limited number of names and /or logotypes (a maximum of three). They should be designed to appear as a single sign from a distance through the use of a framework of materials consistent with the building facade. • Wall signs should not be white backlit plastic; individual letters are preferred; colored plastic panels with white or colored letters may also be acceptable. No bulletin signs (either portable or perma- nent) should be allowed. In addition to the relative large site used in the above example, consideration needs to be given to the development of smaller sites, which most likely will become more available along the Corridor, as well as mixed -use developments. ® Small Site Developments. Figure 28 illustrates how a small, linear site along the Boulevard might be developed utilizing the recommended development guidelines. The site is approximately 2.5 acres and the development represents a small neighborhood- oriented retail strip and a free - standing restaurant. The example illustrates desirable building massing, vehicular circulation, pedestrian circulation with an internal link between the buildings, screen- ing for adjoining single- family residential uses, a site focal feature, and extensive landscaping and edge treatments along Brooklyn Boulevard. ® Mixed -Use Developments. Figure 29 illustrates a mixed -use development on a 3 -acre site with commercial retail facilities on the lower level and residential units or offices above. The development has enclosed parking for the residential units or offices. This example illustrates the same desirable site development features as the Small Site Development and in addition it shows how a taller develop- ment could be stepped down towards adjoining single- family uses.
