Comments below /attached SUM IARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached YES • On May 27, 1992, City staff was contacted by g a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker who is listing the property at 5340 Colfax Avenue North. The agent representing the owner of the property requested the EDA to consider purchase of the property. Upon request of the owner, the City Building Inspector and I inspected the property at 5340 Colfax Avenue North. The eBil Building Inspector's mem r g memorandum, included with this request, summarizes the condition of the property. Essentially, the Building Inspector's memorandum describes a house that is in need of major expenditures to bring the property up to Section 8 standards that are used in the City's rehabilitation grant program. The house was built in 1910, and has 640 square feet of finished space. A copy of a photo of the property is included with this report. The lot size is 84 x 120, and the City assessing records show a valuation of $46,900.00. The ro er is located in an area that has under P p ty gone one redevelopment project already (5345 Colfax Avenue North). EDA staff believes this home should be considered for acquisition under the Scattered Site Redevelopment Program. If the EDA agrees with this recommendation, the staff would return to the EDA with a full appraisal report for consideration.

APPROVAL: Tom Bublitz, Assistant EDA Coordinator MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECONEWENDATION: . No comments to supplement this report . Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes The EDA is requested to approve a Resolution authorizing the making of an offer to acquire h P g g q to property at 5206 Drew Avenue North in Brooklyn Center. This property was reviewed as a discussion item by the EDA at the June 8, 1992 EDA meeting nd the EDA approved a mo g pp of on to authorize staff to present a proposal for acquisition of this property. The EDA Board has received a copy of the appraisal report and review appraisal on the single family property located at 5206 Drew Avenue North. Also included is a memorandum from the City Assessor regarding the estimated market rental rate of the property at 5206 Drew Avenue North. Since the estimated rental rate for this property exceeds the Section 8 fair market rents for a one bedroom unit, the EDA is exempt from the one for one housing replacement rule which requires that any affordable units demolished must be replaced on a one for one basis within a three year period from the demolition. Staff became aware of the property initially through a phone call from the owner on April 9, 1992. At that time, the owner indicated he was interested in the City purchasing his property. On April 14, 1992, the City Building Official and I inspected the property at 5206 Drew and met with the owner to discuss the possible acquisition of his property. The nature of this initial visit was essentially to inspect the condition and size of the property. I also requested the owner to write a letter stating his request to have the EDA purchase his property. A copy of the letter is included with this council request form. The acquisition is being approached as a voluntary sale by the owner; and, as such, he would be required to formally waive any consideration of relocation benefits. It should also be noted that the owner of the property at 5206 Drew has homesteaded residential property in another county in Minnesota. The review appraisal has indicated a range of value for the property between $31,000.00 and $34,000.00. The initial appraisal report showed a value of $34,000.00 for the property. I have spoken with the appraiser who prepared the initial appraisal report and he has concurred with the review appraisal establishing a range of value between $31,000.00 and $34,000.00. Funding for the project would be from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. An estimated budget for acquisition and demolition of the property is shown by the following: COST ITEMS COST Acquisition cost of property $31,000.00 Appraisal fee 475.00 Demolition 5,000.00 Legal costs 1,500.00 Closing costs (including title transfer and prorated taxes) 1,800.00 Administration 1,200.00 Incidental expenses (certified mail, messenger service, office supplies, etc.) 150.00 TOTAL: $41,125.00 RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Staff recommends approval of the resolution which would authorize staff to proceed with the negotiations for the acquisition.

While I am in general agreement with his conclusion, I believe some consideration ought to be given to the locational adjustment. The subject is adjacent to a large apartment complex which has a negative impact on both value and marketability. The impact on marketability is the most difficult to measure and directly affects the value. The group of buyers with interest in a one bedroom house of less than 600 square feet (sf) is, at least, limited. Any negative factor will cause them to discount a potential offer or consider other offerings. As the subject is just over 500 sf and the "competition" in this segment of small houses are generally larger than the subject, the locational factors are critical. Sales in Brooklyn Center indicate that residential properties adjacent to apartments sell for five percent less than properties without the apartment influence. As the project adjacent to the subject has a high rate of turnover (only month -to -month tenants, no leases) and an unkept exterior, I believe the subject would experience a similar adjustment. Mr. Renne makes an adjustment at five percent for Minneapolis location versus Brooklyn Center. Accepting that as accurate, it would be offset by the apartment adjustment. � a 1986ALL+IME3tlCA(XfY� 1; �I Tom Bublitz May 19, 1992 Page Two Comparables (Camps) one through five are closely grouped at 50th and Girard and do not have an apparent adjacent influence. Comp six is in a similar residential neighborhood, but without an apartment influence. Changing the location adjustment to $0 in one through five and - $2,300 in six, the indicated value of the subject becomes: Comp 1 = $31,275 Comp 4 = $29,275 Comp 2 = $33,750 Comp 5 = $32,750 Comp 3 = $33,650 Comp 6 = $33,950 In his summary table on page 15, Mr. Renne concludes a value of $34,000 and that Comparable Six is most similar. The locational adjustments I recommend for adjacent influence support his conclusions. Finally, while I agree with his conclusion, I am troubled by the fact that the subject is smaller than all six of the comparables. In this size property, 100 square feet is a large difference. Therefore, comparable six is definitely better than one through five. However, as it is still larger (506 sf v. 576 sf or + 14 %). I believe it defines the upper end of a value range. I believe the value of the subject is in a range of $31,000 to $34,000. If you have additional questions or comments on this matter, please contact me at 569 -3355. CITY 6301 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA 55430 BROOKLYN TELEPHONE: 569 -3300 CENTER FAX: 569 -3494 EMERGENCY - POLICE - FIRE 911 MEMORANDUM TO: Tom Bublitz Assistant EDA Coordinator FROM: Mark Parish City Assessor DATE: June 8, 1992 RE: Estimated Market Rental Rate 5206 Drew Avenue North, Brooklyn Center You recently requested an estimate of the fair market rental rate for this property. Based on a review of rental comparables and current market levels, a one - bedroom home with no garage could be expected to rent for $375.00 to $525.00 per month. This rent would typically include sewer and water, but all other utilities including gas, electric, cable television and telephone would be paid by the tenant. While the location and condition of the property are good, the lack of a garage and the house size would hinder the marketability. Therefore, I would expect it to rent towards the middle of the typical range, at approximately $450.00. Utility costs of $30.00 for natural gas heat, $10.00 for gas water heating and stove, $22.00 for electric, and $17.00 for trash collection total at $79.00. Thus, my estimate of Fair Market Rent, including utilities, is $529.00. If you have further questions on this matter, please contact me at 569 -3310. a Commissioner introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: EDA RESOLUTION NO.
