Summary Explanation: (supporting documentation attached Yes ) The owner /occupant of the single - family property located at 7216 Brooklyn Boulevard has had his property on the market for the past several months. The home was built in 1952, and is a 924 square foot rambler with a full finished basement and a single car attached garage. This property has approximately 233 feet of frontage on Brooklyn Boulevard, with a total lot area of 19,049 square feet (A acres). The property location is shown by the highlighted area on the attached plat map. A photo of the property is also included. The property was initially listed for $79,900, and was eventually dropped to $74,500. A 1994 market value of $62,200 has been established by the City Assessor for this property. The relatively low value of the property is in part due to its proximity to Brooklyn Boulevard. The property owner has written a letter requesting the City /EDA to purchase the property as a voluntary acquisition in which he would waive all relocation benefits. A walk- through inspection of the property was completed by the City's Housing Inspector and she found the house was structurally sound with only a few minor code violations. A copy of the Housing Inspector's memorandum is included with this request form. • This property is not blighted in the usual sense of the term, but its location, as noted in the Housing Inspector's inspection memo, is the primary negative aspect of the home. The availability of this property is significant with regard to its position in the redevelopment plans proposed for Brooklyn Boulevard. This property is located at the northern gateway entrance to the City Request For Council Consideration Page 2 on Brooklyn Boulevard, and as noted in several of the recent planning studies done for the City, the gateway concept is an important element in the Brooklyn Boulevard redevelopment. Listed below are a number of references to various City planning studies as the relate to single-family YP g Y g Y uses on Brooklyn Boulevard, and the recommendations for a gateway entrance to the City on Brooklyn Boulevard. SINGLE - FAMILY USES ON BROOKLYN BOULEVARD • The Brooklyn Boulevard Redevelopment Study addresses the problems created by the incompatible mix of residential and commercial along Brooklyn Boulevard and notes that single - family homes on Brooklyn Boulevard must be removed to allow for commercial development. • The Brooklyn Boulevard Streetscape Amenities Study, prepared by BRW, makes the following recommendations regarding single- family uses along Brooklyn Boulevard: a. The framework plan recommends that "all single - family residential units north of Highway 100 which abut the Brooklyn Boulevard right -of -way should be removed." b. The BRW plan cites the 1989 Maxfield Housing Study, which contains a list of policies and strategies for Brooklyn Center, including the recommendation to "remove inappropriate uses (single - family housing) along Brooklyn Boulevard, and make sure existing and future land uses are consistent with the commercial orientation of this heavily trafficked thoroughfare." c. The BRW study also refers to the City's Comprehensive Plan, and notes that it recommends acquiring critical parcels and land banking them in order to maintain development control over the nature and scale of redevelopment. " d. The BRW Streetscape Amenities Study also recommends that "the City should begin the acquisition of the single - family houses along Brooklyn Boulevard, north of Highway 100, under existing City programs. The houses could be acquired for immediate redevelopment, assuming a developer has been identified. The acquired sites could also be land banked for future redevelopments. " GATEWAY CONCEPT FOR BROOKLYN BOULEVARD • The Brooklyn Boulevard Redevelopment Study recommends a wide range of streetscape treatments along Brooklyn Boulevard, including special treatments providing a unique character at the entry points, or gateways, to the Boulevard. • The BRW Brooklyn Boulevard Streetscape Amenities Study makes the following recommendations regarding the gateway concept: a. Special theme elements are proposed for the City gateways at the northern and southern City limits with a recommendation to develop these special treatments in order to establish a distinct image and identity for the corridor. • b. The BRW study recommends that the gateways identified at the northern and southern City limits will "demarcate the entry points to the City as well as to the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor." The location of the northern City gateway is recommended at Shingle Creek. Request For Council Consideration Page 3 RECOMMENDATION TO OBTAIN APPRAISAL ON THE PROPERTY AT 7216 BROOKLYN BOULEVARD Staff is recommending that an appraisal be done on the property and that the EDA consider acquisition of this property to control this site for a future northern gateway approach. The cost for an appraisal on this property is estimated at approximately $500. Staff is presently exploring potential funding sources for the acquisition of the property at 7216 Brooklyn Boulevard, including the use of Community Development Block Grant funds and the possibility of future tax increment financing revenues. Staff would discuss these potential revenue sources in more detail when the appraisal report is presented. • • 0) Ij I ( I2)(9) vz (4) n J \ 61 1 1- 01 ' - R0QKt ' fN PARK CT OF BROOKLYN ENT 370 ('j 7301 SFIINCLE CREAK - - E' a (oT:I / • �O �. � (W / / 7235 NO C 1= '0I 7 (204) e �: E-223 7135 � so nm 589 `D --- -7 . ♦ ♦$ ° \_— � � ON A6d ®' S » (14 1) (1 40) o (139) �S,E .00 ®B� `•� / (207) 0 4710 1 4716 7227 ass (210) \ `i ,� ABd6R 4n4 4 �z` + ~ LA � �� : ♦ i \S •:. _ �Q 'EST 3 Q 3A.84 00 DO � _ \` \' f - 46�.: (206) ~ �• ( 145) 3 _� — may._: `.• ,� \♦` .♦ _ �(20'A ..:1_, - 47/5 � (146) � I 334.9e _ _ - �. a ♦ i _ 7221 . n' ♦ 4707 p.TZ u- 173 4 1 �\ ♦` \ `♦ p .:�. _ - 47) i N 31.5 .� ® 37.5 ►Q . �/6'.. y AD = 1 3 � Q 4 S \` ♦ S �° sie or r a 1 %) \`♦ ,h♦ ,t 4721 3 r 4 �•• (1 I a4) SW IN) a ' o ^ 2 N 1 ` ` �' $� ♦ ` ♦ (148) 1) 163) a _ « (153) 2 0 \ - - ti v am• ,�C � ♦ L ., p n. s ti OFF v R3a�91 hb - - �Rldd(T6))a out(or e:.

' � �, i CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER PLANNING AND INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: September 15, 1994 TO: Tom Bublitz,Community Development Specialist FROM: Janine Atchison, Housing Inspector RE: 7216 Brooklyn Blvd. Inspection Today I inspected the above mentioned and house and found said house to be structurally sound. I found only a few minor code violations that have no effect on the overall soundness of the house. The older casement windows through out the unit need some repairs including caulking and sash adjustments, to keep windows open without supports. The windows will probably need replacement within the next few years. The placement of the house and its proximity to Brooklyn Blvd. allows for noise pollution problems. I can also imagine a problem with carbon monoxide and car • exhaust fumes in the front yard area, making it unsafe to use the front windows for ventilation. If you need any additional information, please contact me. Council Meeting Date 11/28/94 3 Cuy of Brooklyn Center Agenda Item Numbe Request For Council Consideration Item Description: RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENT TO PROJECT PLAN FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT NO. 1 Department Appro 1:� G. B Hoffman, Commu ' Development Dire for Manager's Review /Recommendation: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached Recommended City Council Action: Approve both resolutions in order. • Summary Explanation: (supporting documentation attached Yes ) A number of development/redevelopment issues will be before the Council over the next few months. To date, Brooklyn Center has established a redevelopment project area (City Council Resolution No. 94 -86), initiated the condemnation of the Brookdale Motel (EDA Resolution No. 94 -46), approved the Brooklyn Boulevard Streetscape Plan on July 27, 1994, and will hold a public hearing on December 19 regarding the establishment of a new tax increment district. The new tax increment district is intended to provide the City with its primary revenue source for the numerous housing and redevelopment issues before it. One of the most frequently requested developments from the business community (CRP study) and residents has been a greater variety of restaurants. Also, at the Heritage Center, it has been our increasing experience that hotel rooms in our area are fully booked. As a result, events that we might have booked at the Heritage Center are lost due to a lack of hotel rooms. The hotel /motel business has been up for the last three years. This is due in part to the ever expanding development in our general area, thus creating a demand. Currently, staff is engaged in a serious discussion with a large company to do a new prototype development on the site between Schmitt Music Center and Logis. The approximate 14 acre site is located on the north side of Freeway Boulevard (see attached map). The proposed development would include a suite hotel (approximately 71 rooms) and two well -known restaurants. The project will be P Y a positive statement about our area and will be key to bringing in other development. • The current owners of the land, Shingle Creek Land Co., are also the owners of the Holiday Inn. While they very much want the restaurants, it is their desire to maintain their almost total dominance in the area with their hotel. For that reason, they do not wish to sell the property for this development. While their position is understandable, it fails to take into consideration a number of important facts. Request For Council Consideration Page 2 First, if this project isn't located at the site proposed it will be located within the area and still be in competition. Second, there are advantageous business relationships that could be brokered as part of a sale. Third, hotels typically locate adjacent to one another because there are economic benefits to such massing. The Holiday Inn, like all other hotels /motels, directs business guests to other facilities close by when they are unable to accommodate their clients' needs. Of late, this has been a problem with the Holiday Inn since you want to send your guests to a comparable facility. Fourth, drive -by traffic or clients have to pass the Holiday Inn before they would get to the proposed site, as most traffic will be west bound of Freeway Boulevard. This will be an advantage to the Holiday Inn over their competitors. Fifth, the Shingle Creek Land Co. has just completed a sale for a Comfort Inn in the City. Sixth, the development will be good for business for everyone, especially with the restaurants, and has been the type of development sought out by the City for a number of years. Monday evening the EDA is being asked to pass two resolutions in specific order. The first resolution amends the project plan for the redevelopment area. Specifically, it recognizes the importance of developing the vacant parcels in the plan and states the FDA's intent to acquire same as necessary to facilitate the development. This particular project will provide approximately $250,000 annually in tax increment which will be essential to completing the development along Willow Lane. Second, the EDA will be asked to authorize staff to acquire the site in question through purchase or eminent domain. With passage of the resolution, staff will proceed with a development agreement and commence the acquisitions once the EDA has come to terms for the project. In essence, the EDA will acquire the property and sell it to the developer at our cost. The developer in turn will build the project as set forth in the development agreement and site plans in 1995. ® While the EDA is still trying to facilitate a sale of the property between the two private parties and will continue to do so, we are requesting this authority to assure a timely process that will allow development in 1995. I will be available Monday evening to answer your questions. • CREEK SHING E 1133.

RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENT TO PROJECT PLAN FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT NO. 1 BE IT RESOLVED by the Economic Development Authority (the "Authority ") in and for the City of Brooklyn Center as follows: Section 1. Recitals 1.01 The Authority is administering Housing Development and Redevelopment Project No. 1 (the "Project ") in the City of Brooklyn Center (the "City ") in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047 (the "HRA Act ") and Sections 469.090 to 469.1081 (the "EDA Act "). 1.02 The Redevelopment Plan for the Project was most recently modified by a document titled "Modification of the Redevelopment Plan for Housing Development and Redevelopment Project No. 1 ", dated April 25, 1994 (the "Project Plan"). 1.03 The Authority has determined a need to amend the Project Plan in order to specify more detailed objectives and property acquisition needs that will further the overall redevelopment goals for a portion of the Project. 1.04 The amendment to the Project Plan does not alter the exterior boundaries of the Project area, and does not substantially affect the general land use in the Redevelopment Plan, and therefore the amendment does not constitute a "modification" that requires the notice, hearing and City Council approval required for initial adoption of a redevelopment plan, all pursuant to Section 469.029, Subd. 6 of the HRA Act. 1.05 The Authority has also authorized the preparation of further modifications of the Project Plan and creation of Tax Increment Financing District No. 03, and has requested that the City Council hold a public hearing thereon on December 19, 1994. 1.06 The Authority has determined that in order to proceed with current redevelopment proposals in a timely fashion, it is necessary to approve the Project Plan amendment described herein, which will be incorporated in the Project Plan modifications to be considered by the City Council on December 19, 1994. Section 2. Project Plan Modified 2.01 Subsection 1.4 of the Project Plan is hereby amended to add the following language: EDA RESOLUTION NO. In addition to the above - identified general objectives, the Authority seeks to facilitate comprehensive redevelopment of the area known as Willow /232 Area, as shown on the map attached as Exhibit A hereto. Specifically, the Authority finds that certain vacant parcels in the western portion of the Willow /232 Area are underutilized, and that development of such parcels for commercial use will prevent the emergence of blight and will complement anticipated housing redevelopment in the eastern portion of the Willow /232 Area. The Authority anticipates that housing redevelopment in the Willow /232 Area will in turn stimulate and support commercial enterprises in that area. 2.02 Subsection 1.10 of the Project Plan is hereby amended to add the following language: Specifically, the Authority intends to acquire by negotiation or the exercise of its powers of eminent domain, any parcel needed in order to accomplish redevelopment of the Willow /232 Area, including without limitation the property described as Tract C, Registered Land Survey No. 1377, Hennepin County Minnesota, Property I.D. No. 35- 119 -21 -0003. 2.03 The Project Plan amendments set forth in this resolution are deemed incorporated into the Project Plan as approved April 25, 1994. 2.04 This resolution is effective as of the date hereof.
