DISCUSSION ITEM
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT FOR THE VACANT PARCEL 5OU I i OF EARLE
BRQ _WN COMMaNS (BUSINESS CONTRACT FOR DthW
The City Manager presented the proposed development for the vacant parcel south of Earle
Brown Commons.
The EDA Coordinator explained this will be a three -stage development on the property
south of the Earle Brown Commons, Brooklyn Center holds a contract for deed on the
property. The entire project will be completed in approximately one year with the first
stage, if approved, being started this fall and completed in the spring of 1993. The proposal
is to develop assisted living housing for senior citizens with the first phase consisting of 30
units on a single level on the site. The developers will be using the farm theme; i.e., red
with a split rail fence.
The EDA Coordinator further explained the housing will be for senior citizens not needing
nursing home care, but unable to live on their own. Meals, housekeeping and nursing care
will be provided to residents.
The EDA Coordinator stated there are three issues that will need to be resolved. The first
issue is the size of the pond which needs to be a 4 to 1 slope and it currently is 2 to 1. The
8/17/92 1 1 -
second issue is the storm sewer will have to be rerouted. The third issue is whether there
will be enough parking.
Commissioner Pedlar asked whether it will be affordable housing for senior citizens.
Mr. Blumentals, the architect, explained that the units will rent for approximately $1200 to
$1800 per month which is about half the cost of nursing home care. He reported the Twin
Cities do not have transitional housing like this.
The Authority watched a video showing similar transitional housing.
Commissioner Pedlar stated he felt there is a need for such housing in Brooklyn Center but
is concerned whether it is affordable. He liked the concept, especially that transportation
will be provided to residents for doctors' appointments and shopping trips. He asked if the
company that developed these units around the country has conducted a market study.
Mr. Blumentals replied that these units are very new. There is one located in Fargo and one
in Moorhead if anyone would like to travel to see them.
Commissioner Rosene stated he would like to talk to the residents in existing units. He also
expressed concern whether it will be affordable to senior citizens,
Commissioner Scott stated she liked the idea that it is half the cost of a nursing home and
will enable senior citizens to remain reasonably independent. She further stated she believed
the units will be fully rented before they are built.
President Paulson asked if it would be possible to take one of the areas and make it into a
community senior center.
The architect answered he did not think there would be enough space at this site.
Commissioner Rosene asked if there is outstanding debts on the property.
The City Manager answered that there are no debts on the property, only the tax increment
bonds for the Heritage Center.
The EDA Coordinator stated the proceeds of the sale of the land would go back into the
tax increment to repay the debt.
Commissioner Scott agreed this proposal fits in well and the seniors in the high rise might
need a p lace like this.
Commissioner Pedlar shared his concern it will be too costly for the common person. He
liked the concept, but would like to be assured that people will be able to afford it.
8/17/92 -2-
Commissioner Rosene stated it looks like we should proceed.
Commissioner Pedlar also felt Brooklyn Center has needed a senior center for years.
The City Manager believed a location at the Civic Center would be more appropriate for
the senior drop -in center. The original Earle Brown Farm Committee made that
recommendation and it was accepted by the City Council.
Commissioner Pedlar agreed the two projects should be divided and requested the senior
center be placed as a discussion item on the next City Council agenda.
The City Manager agreed to look at the development of this parcel and to
g reed to p
present it to the Planning Commission for their review and if approved to bring it back to
the City Council,
Commissioner Scott asked the EDA Coordinator to check out the facility in New Hope that
is close to this theme.
The EDA Coordinator replied he will check it out and will pu t together some numbers for
the Council.
Mayor Paulson also asked staff to pursue a senior center.
proposed units from a senior center
be best to separate the ro
Commissioner Scott felt it would p p p
as the center would be for active seniors.
The EDA Coordinator agreed to make available to the Council a study that was done earlier
about a senior center and the City Manager agreed to have the matter put ull the next City
Council agenda as a discussion item.
WILLOW LANE/HUMBOLDT AVENUE NORTH DEVELOPMENTS/FINANCINQ
CCNCEPD
The City Manager presented the Willow L Avenue North
developments /financing concepts explaining the EDA has been actively pursuing the
purchase of several apartment complexes. All of the proposed acquisitions have been or are
distressed properties or properties that have been a problem for the City.
The EDA Coordinator further explained they have been looking at the purchase of the
apartments at 6637 Humboldt, the Lyn River apartment complex as well as the Brookdalc
Motel. The EDA has agreed to purchase 6637 Humboldt Avenue North at a cost of $90,000
plus approximately $2,000 in closing costs. This purchase is scheduled for closing; September
1, 1992.
The EDA Coordinator also explained the apartments north of 6637 Humboldt are boarded-
8/17/92 ' 3 -
met with the Chamber's Economic Development Committee on August 13, 1992 to discuss
the one percent tax. He explained the restaurant owners were very concerned about the tax
although they understood the need, they did not appreciate being singled out as a tax group,
Commissioner Cohen asked what the cost of administering the tax will be.
The City Manager answered he does not know exactly yet, however, it will be similar to the
cost for administering the hotel /motel tax. It will not be a significant cost faCtor as 1110 same
procedures will be used,
Commissioner Cohen stated the best selling point is that it is a dedicated tax.
The City Manager agreed the proposed tax is strictly dedicated to housing by state law.
President Paulson stated he thought the tax included crime and drug prevention.
The City Manager explained when the tax was first introduced it did include crime and drug
prevention but as it went through the legislative process it was removed.
Commissioner Cohen stated he believed that once the primaries are over, the Council can
again discuss this with the candidates.
Commissioner Rosene asked if the Chamber developed a position on the tax.
The City Manager answered not at this time.
It was agreed to postpone further discussion until after the primary elections.
HEALTH DEPARTMENT REORGANIZATION
The City Manager stated staff has had discussions with Crystal and is currently negotiating
with the County to take over the Health Department but to keep it a joint powers.
NEI HB RHOQQ STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City Manager presented the proposed neighborhood street improvement program
stating staff recommends initiation of a 2 -mile pilot improvement project in 1993. He
further explained, to make this possible, it is necessary to have the Council give preliminary
approval as soon as possible so that staff may proceed with needed engineering work, citizen
involvement, and financing.
The Director of Public Works suggested that, on August 24, 1992, the Council to consider
a resolution which would include:
1. Establishing the project.
2. Beginning survcy work to gather data to prepare plans and specifications and
$/17/92 - 6-
Cyst estimates.
3. Retaining an appraiser to estimate the value added to properties from street
reconstruction and curb and gutter installation.
4, Ketaining a landscape architect to develop concepts for distinctive
neighborhood aesthetic improvements.
5. Exploring street lighting alternatives with NSF and the landscape architect.
6. Televise the sanitary sewers in the two areas proposed for the pilot project.
7. Exploring funding mechanisms utilizing GO bonds, special a ss e 55m ents, and
other sources of funds, including further refinement of an Assessment
Stabilization Program.
Commissioner Scott asked why it would be necessary to hire a landscape architect.
The Director of Public Work& answered that hiring a landscape architect maybe needed if
the process goes beyond planting trees and shrubs to include such things as benches, signs
and other aesthetic improvements,
Commissioner Cohen asked what the net cost to the homeowner will be; i.e., what will the
assessment be and what will the additional value be to the property. He suggested the City
send the matter back to the neighborhood advisory committee without.
The Director of Public Works stated the basic reason for establishing a project is to
authorize the staff to start expending funds toward doing studies and analysis of the project.
Commissioner Scott agreed staff should proceed with a feasibility study.
The Director of Public Works asked the EDA for their reaction to the proposal noting that
if the project is to proceed in 1993, it will be necessary to start surveys in September, 1992.
The City Manager asked that he and the Director of Public Works be allowed to work on
this proposal between now and the next City Council meeting on Monday, August 24, 1992,
Commissioner Cohen stated the matter should be put back in the residents' hands and the
City staff is working in the right direction.
Commissioner Rosene stated he felt a landscape architect might be a bit frivolous, but if
sta ff shows i w ou ld n hesitate to v t ri
a t �s needed, he wou at gi e autho rY to do that.
The City Manager explained that the landscape architect is not part of this initial stage.
Commissioner Pedlar asked for a report supporting the statement by the Director of Public
Works, that the long -term reality is that streets without curb and gutter deteriorate
faster."
8/17/92 - 7 -
The EDA asked staff to bring the Neighborhood Street Improvement Program back to the
Council on Monday, August 24, 1992 without a project number, for reference to the Earle
Brown Neighborhood Advisory Committee.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes
At the July 27, 1992 EDA meeting, the EDA Board authorized the staff to proceed with the
acquisition of the single family property at 6601 Bryant Avenue North. A copy of the July 27, 1992
report on the condition of the property is included with this request form.
The appraisal was ordered by staff and is in the process of being completed. This week, staff was
informed by Mr. Jon Perkins, the realtor listing the property, that a contract for deed offer has
been received on the property for the full asking price of $49,900.00. Mr. Perkins has indicated
that he needs to report to the party making the offer as soon as possible, but would also present
the EDA's cash offer to the executor of the estate. The decision will be whether or not the EDA's
cash offer will be accepted over the contract for deed offer of $49,900.00.
The appraisal report is not yet completed but I hope to have it available for Monday's meeting,
along with a review appraisal. Included with this request form is a memorandum from the City
Assessor regarding the estimated market rental rate of the property at 6601 Bryant Avenue North.
Since the estimated rental rate for this property exceeds the Section 8 fair market rents, 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.
CDBG funding is recommended for the acquisition and demolition of this property. Since the
owner is deceased, there are no relocation expenses.
Staff will be prepared to discuss this item in more detail at the meeting. A draft resolution is also
included with this request form, but does not include any dollar amounts. Assuming the appraisal
and review appraisal are completed for Monday's meeting, we will be able to make a
recommendation as to the just compensation offer to be inserted in the resolution.
• RECOMMENDATION
Staff will be prepared to make a recommendation at the meeting.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached NO )
Staff was recently made aware of a single - family property at 6601 Bryant Avenue North which may be a candidate
for acquisition and demolition under the EDA's Scattered Site Redevelopment Program.
1 was contacted by Jon Perkins, a City Housing Commission member and realtor regarding the availability of the
property. He informed me the owner is deceased and the property is in an estate. The executor of the estate is
located in Pennsylvania.
• On July 10, 1992, 1 viewed the house along with Mr. Perkins and Clay Larson, the City's Building Official.
In the opinion of myself and the City Building Official, the house is in a substandard condition and should be
considered for acquisition and demolition.
The following is a brief summary of information on the single - family property at 6601 Bryant Avenue North.
1. The interior of the house is in relatively marginal condition. The ceilings show signs of deterioration, the
enclosed porch area shows signs of leaking and the door shows signs of water damage.
2. The home is a slab on grade with a small crawl space and an uncapped well.
3. The furnace is a substandard unit built into a closet.
4. The general appearance of the interior of the house was poor with older, outdated appliances, cupboards,
etc.
5. The best feature of the house was the aluminum siding, however, the home needs a new roof and soffit and
fascia repair or replacement.
6. The house was built in 1947 and is relatively small at 796 square feet with one bedroom and a detached
garage with a wooden floor.
The positive features of the property are the large lot which is 132' x 133' (A acres), and its location across from
Firehouse Park. Additionally, the other houses in the neighborhood are in substantially better condition than this
house, so removing it would definitely improve the neighborhood.
In addition to the information in this memorandum, I will be showing several slides at Monday's meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
• Staff recommends a Motion by the EDA to authorize staff to proceed with the acquisition of the property, including
obtaining an appraisal of the property.

MEMORANDUM
August 20, 1992
TO: Tom Bublitz
Assistant EDA Coordinator
FROM: Mark Parish -�
City Assessor
RE: Estimated Market Rental Rate
6601 Bryant Avenue North
Y recently ecently requested an estimate of the fair market rental rate for this property. Because of
the property's design with two rooms in series, I have analyzed the property both as a one
bedroom and as a two bedroom home. Based on review of market levels and rental
comparables, the following analyses are provided:
One Bedroom Analysis
A one bedroom home with an additional area for use as a den or other living space and a one
car garage would be estimated to rent in the range of $400 - $550 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 features of this home would
be good as a one bedroom, its condition would hinder its marketability. Therefore, I would
expect its rental rate to be in the upper one -half of the range, estimated in this situation at $500
per month. Utility costs above and beyond this rental would be $30.00 for gas heating, $10.00
for gas cooking and water heating, $22.00 for electric and 17.00 for trash collection for a total
of $79.00. Therefore, my estimate of fair market rent including utilities would be $500.00
base rental, $79.00 for utilities, or $579.00 total.
Two Bedroom Analysis
If the subject property were to be considered a two bedroom home with a one car garage
available for rental, the range indicated would be $500.00 - $650.00 per month. While location
of the property remains good, its design in which the second bedroom is currently accessible
only through the other bedroom area would hinder its marketability. Also, the current condition
would have an adverse affect on marketability. Based on these factors, it is my estimate that
the subject property would rent in the lower half of the range, estimated in this instance at
$550.00 per month. Again, this rental rate would include sewer and water; however, other
utilities would be above and beyond this rental rate. Utilities for two bedroom single family
dwellings are estimated at $41.00 for gas /heating, $12.00 for gas cooking and water heating,
$26.00 for electric and $17.00 for trash removal for a total of $96.00.
Tom Bublitz

August 20, 1992
Page 2
Therefore, my estimate of fair market rent as a two bedroom home would be $550.00 in
rent plus $96.00 in utilities or $646.00 total.
I hope this approach both as a one bedroom and two bedroom is beneficial and acceptable given
the design of this home. If you have any questions or comments on this matter, please contact
me at 569 -3310.
