Splinter, p er, City Ma ger FROM: Brad Hoffman, HRA Coordinator DATE: July 24, 1986 SUBJECT: HRA Property Acquisition The HRA will have before them a resolution authorizing the purchase of a home located on the northwest corner of 55th and Humboldt Avenues North. The purchase price is $50,400, the market value as established by the City Assessor. The particular home in question is a converted grocery store. The subject and resolution is before the HRA to determine the City's interest in acquiring properties listed as nonconforming uses. The property in question fails to meet the City's standard setback requirements The obvious policy question that should be answered is should the HRA acquire such properties and, if so, under what circumstances. The owner of this property recently contacted me about purchasing the property. I have told him I would present it to the HRA for their consideration. Other parcels like this exist throughout the City. Does the HRA /City want us to pursue the acquisition of such parcels when they become available? What criteria should we use in evaluating properties to be acquired? I will be available to discuss this matter on Friday. y6 :1 HRA RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF CERTAIN BLIGHTED PROPERTY WHEREAS, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Brooklyn Center (HRA) has the authority pursuant to Minnesota Statues, Chapter 462, to acquire real property for the purpose of removing blight and reselling such property for redevelopment; and WHEREAS, the HRA finds that the real property located at 1500 55th Avenue North and legally described in Exhibit A hereto (the Property) has become blighted and that it is in the best interests of the health, safety, and welfare of the City of Brooklyn Center to acquire the Property, remove the existing structures therefrom, and resell the Property for redevelopment; and WHEREAS, the HRA staff has negotiated the purchase of the Property for a price of $50,400; and WHEREAS, the HRA finds the purchase price and the terms of purchase to be reasonable; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Housing and Redevelop- ment Authority In and for the City of Brooklyn Center as follows: 1. The Chairman and Executive Director are hereby author- . ized to enter into a purchase agreement for the Proper- ty at a purchase price of $50,400 and to take such steps as are necessary to acquire the Property. DATED: Chairman ATTEST: Executive Director MEMORANDUM i , TO: Gerald G. Splinter, Cit anager FROM: Brad Hoffman, HRA Coordinator DATE: July 25, 1986 SUBJECT: Earle Brown Farm Development Team The Earle Brown Farm Committee is entering the final stage in its decision- making process relative to the uses of the Farm. As that process draws to a conclusion it will be necessa ry to implement one of several approaches to make the Farm development a reality. It is our recommendation, supported by the Committee, that we put together a development team to oversee the plans and construction of the Farm. At the outset, we believe there should be representation from Council, the Committee and the staff. The initial grow would then recommend mm end an architect and a developer to the Council. The addition of the developer and architect would then function as the development team preparing final phases for the Farm for HRA /Council consideration. This approach allows the City to maximize its control of the development of the Farm. Another approach would be to request RFP the development of the Farm. I will be available to discuss this in greater detail Monday evening.
