fringe benefits could be reviewed. The City Manager explained the City's past
policy has been to keep dollar amounts the same for both organized and nonorganized.

type benefit plans, but that the staff is recommending the dollar amounts for
insurance be kept the same. Mayor Nyquist added he was not suggesting the total of
nonorganized benefits be less than organized, but only that the City look at some
flexibility to the fringe benefits received. The City Manager pointed out the City

DISCUSSION ITEMS
CENTRAL PARK PLAZA
The City Manager introduced Mr. Paul Fjare of Brauer & Associates. The City Manager
pointed out that, after review of the project, the architects felt it would be
difficult to design the plaza without moving the existing roadway.
Mr. Fjare reviewed the proposed plaza plans prepared by Brauer & Associates and
recommended that the roadway be relocated. He reviewed the major features of the
plaza proposal and explained that the primary considerations included relocation of
the roadway which doubles the "people space" for seating in the plaza area and
improvement of the overall drainage of the area.
Councilmember Theis inquired as to the cost of relocating the existing roadway. The
Director of Public Works explained that the cost would be between $35,000 and
$40,000 and also pointed out that it was estimated that as much as $20,000 of this
could be recovered in savings in the cost of providing drainage to the area as a
result of moving the roadway.
There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Scott
adopting the plaza plan concept including the relocation of the existing roadway.
Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Scott, Theis, and Hawes. Voting

REVIEW OF ALTERNATE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS FOR THE OLD CITY HALL PROPERTY LOCATED AT
7100 BROOKLYN BOULEVARD
The City Manager explained that approximately six years ago the old City Hall burned
down and the property was declared surplus. Subsequently, the surrounding
neighborhood was surveyed and it was discovered that the neighborhood preferred an
office type development as opposed to multi - family dwellings. He explained that
this evening the Council will be reviewing three proposals for development of this
site. He noted that the Planning Commission reviewed the three proposals and
determined they each complied with the zoning ordinance and the Comprehensive Guide
Plan.
Administrative Assistant Hoffman stated that the purchase price in all three
proposals is $150,000, which was the asking price of the City. He then reviewed the
requirements of the purchase agreements and explained that the contracts for the
three proposals are virtually identical and that all three have proposed office uses
for the site. He then briefly reviewed the three proposals from H E Homes, Edina
Realty, and Partners in Progress.
4 -23 -84 -7-
i
The first presentation was made by H E Homes which proposed office condominiums for
the site, 29 units with approximately 960 square feet per unit. H E Homes proposed a
building with brick construction with every unit having its own heating and cooling
unit.
The next presentation was made by Edina Realty. The Council reviewed photos of a
typical Edina Realty office. A representative of Edina Realty explained that the
Company is proposing to use the building for their own use and rent out a portion.
He explained the building is a two - story, colonial type structure with 6,000 to
7,500 square feet per floor. He noted that the exterior of the building would be
brick and the parking would be oriented toward the rear of the building.
The third proposal was presented by Partners in Progress and was a 24, 000 square foot
commercial office building. The proposal was for a two -story building with glass
and aluminum exterior including a two -story atrium. The developer explained the
entrance to the building would be in the rear along with parking. He added the
proposed construction date would be 1985.
It was also noted that the approximate cost of the H E Homes project was $3 million,
the Edina Realty project was $1 to $1.5 million and the proposal from Partners in
Progress was $1.5 to $1.7 million construction cost.
Councilmember Theis asked what type of control the City would exercise over the
development of the project. Administrative Assistant Hoffman pointed out that
prior to closing, detailed plans of the project must be submitted and go through the
Planning Commission. He explained that the sale could be terminated if the plans do
not comply with the requirements of the purchase agreement. He explained that the
developer would also be required to build the project within 24 months.
RECESS
The Brooklyn Center City Council recessed at 9:05 p.m. and reconvened at 9:20 p.m.
CONTINUATION OF REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS FOR OLD CITY HALL PROPERTY
The City Attorney reviewed the required changes in the ordinance titled An Ordinance
Authorizing the Conveyance of Real Estate from the City of Brooklyn Center. He
explained that the second WHEREAS in the ordinance should be deleted, and also
changes in the first paragraph on the second page of the proposed ordinance should be
made including the term "consideration of" should be changed to read "accordance
with" and the phrase "submitted by" should be changed to "drafted by the City staff".
The final change recommended by the City Attorney was in the last paragraph of the
ordinance, and he recommended the words "contract for" should be inserted between
the words execute and quit.
Councilmember Lhotka commented that he liked the low profile of the proposal
submitted by H E Homes but that he didn't care for the parking out front. He also
commented that he was not sure a modern type building is suitable for this particular
area.
Councilmember Theis commented he liked the parking towards the rear of the buildng
and liked the proposal with the green area in the front and the parking in the rear.
Councilmember Scott stated that she had the same concerns over a modernistic
building, but that she had no problem with parking out front if the area is properly
landscaped.
4 -23 -84 -8-
Councilmember Hawes stated he was concerned the Edina Realty building would be more
difficult to sell if Edina Realty moved out, and that he believed a two -story
building is appealing and would be an asset to Brooklyn Center.
There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to
approve for first reading, An Ordinance Authorizing the Conveyance of Real Estate
from the City of Brooklyn Center to Partners in Progress and to adopt the revisions
in the ordinance recommended by the City Attorney.
In discussion of the motion Councilmember Theis questioned whether there was
another method to be used in selling the property. The City Manager explained the
City received three offers within two to three weeks from the first, and that the
staff concern was what proposal would offer the best development for the
neighborhood. He explained he felt the market price was fair and he believed the
quality of the project would be the deciding factor.
Councilmember Lhotka stated he felt uncomfortable in making a decision since it
appears that any of the three will work on the site. He added he would like to see
more information on the projects.
The City Manager explained the Council could defer the first reading of the
ordinance to the next meeting and request more information from developers such as
something in writing regarding their experience in the development of similar
projects.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Jim Backer, owner of the property at 7018 Brooklyn
Boulevard. Mr. Backer explained, in his opinion, the problem in the area is snow
removal and getting out on Brooklyn Boulevard.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to
table consideration of the development proposals for the old City Hall property
until the May 7, 1984 Council meeting, and to request additional information be
provided to the City staff by May 1, 1984 from each of the developers regarding their
proposals. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes,
and Theis. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager introduced a Resolution Receiving City Engineer's Report,
Establishing Lyndale Avenue Water Main Improvement Project No. 1984 -08, Lyndale
Avenue Street Improvement Project No. 1984 -09, and Lyndale Avenue Sidewalk
Improvement Project No. 1984 -11, and Calling for a Hearing Thereon.
The City Engineer reviewed the project area which included Lyndale Avenue from 53rd
to 57th. He then reviewed the various improvement projects including financial
considerations for the project, estimated project costs and estimated revenue
sources.
The City Council reviewed and discussed the various improvement projects and
Councilmember Scott commented on the problems with installing a sidewalk in some
areas of the project area. The City Engineer acknowledged problems and noted that
the sidewalks proposed will connect to the City's sidewalk system. Councilmember
Scott commented that she did not detect much pedestrian traffic in the area but there
is heavy bicycle traffic.
The Director of Public Works pointed out that the right of way in the project area is
66 feet and that the west edge of the existing roadway is on the centerline of the
right of way. That means that considerable right of way exists on the west side of
the existing roadway.

i
Councilmember Scott then inquired as to the cost of tree removal associated with the
project. The Director of Public Works explained that if tree removal is required
