MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL/FINANCIAL COMMISSION
OF THE
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE
COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND STATE OF MINNESOTA
JOINT WORK SESSION
JUNE 3, 2019
CITY HALL – CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS

Jim Eichten stated he had been a partner with MMKR for 30 years. Jaclyn Huegel stated she has

Mayor Mike Elliott stated he grew up in Brooklyn Center, and graduated from Brooklyn Center High

be able to attend this joint meeting of the Financial Commission and City Council. He thanked all
the meeting attendees for being there.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA
There was a motion by Councilmember Ryan and seconded by Councilmember Graves to approve
the agenda as submitted. The motion passed.
PRESENTATION OF AUDIT REPORT AND MANAGEMENT LETTER
City Manager Curt Boganey stated the joint budget meeting is the first step in the budget
development process. He added this is a chance to review useful and necessary information as the
City moves forward with the 2020 budget development. He introduced Jim Eichten with MMKR
consulting firm.
Mr. Eichten stated the City is required by State law to prepare financial statements as well as being
audited by a Certified Public Accountant. He added the auditor reviews the Special Purpose Report
and Management Report and issued an opinion to the State Auditor’s Office. He noted the City’s
federal awards must be audited to ensure proper controls over reporting of federal revenue.
Mr. Eichten reviewed the Management Report, required for submission to the State Auditor by June
30, 2019. MMKR has issued an unmodified, or clean, opinion. He noted the addition of a new
emphasis provided on the federal accounting statement, providing health insurance for retirees.
Mr. Eichten stated limitations in the process could be barriers, and internal controls are monitored
closely. Policies related to controls over individual cycles are reviewed, for instance, billing or
accounts payable. At a federal level, there is a heavy reliance on local auditors to ensure compliance,
especially as in the case of Brooklyn Center, which receives federal revenues.
6/9/2019 3
DRAFT
Mr. Eichten stated the Management Report reviews implemented recommendations, how the City is
audited, and how challenges and findings are handled.
Mr. Eichten stated the audit looks at how the City is doing financially, but MMKR does not give
financial opinions. The taxable market value from 2018-19 shows that the City has come back
financially from the dramatic decline during the recession years. The audit reviews the average tax
rate in the City, which is impacted by tax capacity market value and also annual tax levy, among
other things. The City’s tax rate is declining as market values increase.
Mr. Boganey requested clarification regarding the tax capacity number as opposed to the market
value number on page 6. He stated the tax rate and taxes levied are based on tax capacity and not
market value. Mr. Eichten agreed, adding the tax rate is a combination of residential and commercial
properties, and Brooklyn Center has seen a dramatic increase in terms of commercial property.
Mr. Reinhardt stated the formula for market value exclusion credits works out the same for property
owners, but the city’s market value credit is a reimbursement from the State. He added the market
value was reduced to maintain property taxes, but property taxes had to be raised to get back to the
same amount as the market value credit.
Mr. Eichten stated analysis of governmental funds shows revenue on a per capita basis by year, and
Brooklyn Center’s revenue is $1,170 per resident. He added a comparable city of 100,000 residents
generates revenue of $960 per resident. The City of Brooklyn Center generates more revenue
compared to other cities of its size. He added a lot of that has to do with market values.
Mayor Elliott requested clarification regarding the guidelines showing population size categories.
He added there is a big jump from population criteria of 20,000 to 200,000. He added that perhaps
there are fewer cities around the 100,000-population mark.
Mr. Eichten stated the population data is provided by the Office of the State Auditor. He added it is
readily available as a comparable and provides data on a wide range of cities of different sizes.
Commissioner Van Der Werf asked how the population is determined. Mr. Reinhardt stated those
numbers come from the Metropolitan Council and are estimated based on City data. He added that
will be updated after the 2020 Census.
Mr. Eichten stated expenditures on a per capita basis are noted on page 8, with capital projects
separated from recurring costs. He added debt service is shown separately as it is an important
number that shows how well the City is managing its debt load. The City spends about $149 per
resident, which shows good debt management. He noted the City of Brooklyn Center spent $738 per
resident, which is slightly above average. He added public safety is a priority in Brooklyn Center, so
that number tends to be above average.
Mayor Elliott asked whether does public safety spending includes the Fire Department. Mr. Splinter
confirmed this, adding Building and Community Standards inspections all fall under Public Safety as
well.
6/9/2019 4
DRAFT
Mr. Eichten stated Page 10 shows the General Fund or regular operations of the City. The fund
balance, or equity position, shows the volume of activity within the general fund. He added the City
has a policy adopted by the City Council that places a target of 50-52% general fund balance. He
noted revenues are received from the County every six months, so without the balance, the cash
would run out.
Mr. Eichten stated it is anticipated that revenues will come close to meeting projections since there is
a $20-21 million budget. He added, in 2018, revenues exceeded projections by approximately
$500,000, mostly due to licenses and permits, which is an area that is difficult to project.
Mr. Eichten stated the General Fund expenditures were $35,445 over budget, which is exceptional
within a $20 million budget. He added this shows extraordinary budgeting and forecasting on the
part of City Staff.
Mr. Eichten stated the rising cost of public safety had been an issue for Brooklyn Center and many
other metro area communities. He added it is a priority for many communities and costs have gone
up significantly.
Mr. Boganey stated it is important to note that public safety includes Code enforcement and
inspections. He added investment in Code Enforcement had been a City Council goal for the past
several years.
Councilmember Ryan stated law enforcement research showed that physical conditions of
neighborhoods were directly related to public safety outcomes. He added the City Council
recognized the need for an emphasis on Code enforcement to retain the quality of the City’s
neighborhoods.
Mr. Eichten reviewed the City’s utility funds and business funds. He stated the City’s water fund
shows revenue, expenses and operating income, before and after depreciation. He added some cities
to build financing for these types of funds into their rates to cover infrastructure replacement. He
added other cities issue assessments. He noted the City of Brooklyn Center’s rates covers regular
operations as well as capital replacement.
Mr. Eichten stated the sanitary sewer fund revenue is doing great financially, with an increase of 7-
7.5% in revenues. He added the liquor fund has also performed well, with a sales increase of 3.8%
in 2018, and profit margins increasing overall. He noted the Earle Brown Heritage Center had
shown good financial results for the past three years, and 2017 was a high year for sales.
Mr. Eichten stated the golf course enterprise fund was transferred to a community asset by the City
Council, which has been a positive change for the City. He added it is recorded as a business fund
would be inappropriate.
Mr. Eichten stated, in conclusion, MMKR has issued an unmodified opinion on the City’s financial
situation, with no findings to report. He added City Staff are successful at continually assessing
6/9/2019 5
DRAFT
value, controls, and methods to improve the City’s financial position. He added the golf course fund
is one example of that level of attention to success.
Mr. Boganey stated MMKR’s report shows that the City has substantially improved its earnings over
the past several years, which is difficult to do in a low-interest environment. He added City Staff
does a great job generating revenue for the City and gave credit Mr. Reinhardt and Mr. Splinter, as
they continue to operate an outstanding financial management system.
Mayor Elliott requested clarification regarding the Special Purpose Audit Report, which states that
MMKR reviews the City’s internal controls over financial reporting to determine appropriate audit
procedures, and express an opinion on financial statements, but not the effectiveness of the City’s
internal controls. He added page 2 states, “Accordingly we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City’s internal controls.”
Mr. Eichten stated MMKR reviews the City’s internal controls to ensure systems and procedures are
in place. He added an opinion is not given on how effective they are, and whether duties are
separated. He noted government standards for reporting are used to verify whether financial reports
are in compliance.
Commissioner Kragness stated the last paragraph on page 2 indicates that internal controls have
limited purpose. She asked whether that is because no recommendations are offered. Mr. Eichten
stated that statement is meant to indicate that it is limited to those items that are reviewed as part of
the audit.
Mr. Reinhardt stated it would be impossible to test every transaction as it occurs, so that statement
indicates that it is ultimately the responsibility of City Staff to ensure that controls are being utilized.
He added auditors could make recommendations in their report for an improvement or a more
thorough document.
Mayor Elliott requested clarification regarding Note #3 in the footnotes on page 1, which states “the
City does not like to use the 10% rate for indirect cost rate”. Mr. Eichten stated the City had
received a total of $1.4 million in federal awards, which are required to be summarized in a schedule.
He added the Brooklyn Boulevard project was audited, and the City elected not to use the indirect
cost rate allowed by the federal government.
Mr. Boganey stated advantage of not taking the indirect cost is that that is a cost that is removed
from the project total.
Mayor Elliott thanked Mr. Eichten for his report.
STAFF OVERVIEW OF COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
Director of Fiscal and Support Services Nate Reinhardt gave a presentation reviewing financial
results related to Mr. Eichten’s management report, including a letter of transmittal, management
review, and analysis.
6/9/2019 6
DRAFT
Mr. Reinhardt stated the City’s capital projects funding policy requires the transfer of anything that
exceeds 52% of next year’s general fund expenditures into the capital improvements fund. He added
there was a one-time transfer of $149,630 following last year’s audit, and actual budget expectations
were exceeded by $358,000. He noted there would not be a transfer of reserves in next year’s
budget.
Mr. Boganey stated City Staff are deliberate about keeping projected revenues closer to what is
expected and keeping expenditures and spending down. He asked what the largest positive year-end
operating budget has been during Mr. Reinhardt’s tenure. Mr. Reinhardt stated it was around $1
million for a few years when he first started working for the City of Brooklyn Center.
Mayor Elliott requested clarification regarding the losses at Earle Brown Heritage Center. Mr.
Reinhardt stated Earle Brown Heritage Center is unique in the amount of depreciation it absorbs and
is built into the operating loss. He added a more accurate measure would be to look at income less
depreciation, to make sure cash flow is maintained. He noted Earle Brown had maintained a positive
cash flow for the past five years, and it is a very well-performing fund.
Mr. Boganey stated Earle Brown Heritage Center consistently generates more revenue than it is
expending in cash, including reinvestment in capital.
Mr. Reinhardt stated 15-year cash flow projections for larger items like capital outlay, depreciation,
and bond sales are reviewed during the budget process. He added it is more accurate to look at the
performance of funds from a cash flow projection perspective.
Mr. Boganey stated the City does not try to fully fund depreciation, as that would
result in generating revenue to cover expenses that are not really expenditures.
Mayor Elliott requested clarification regarding the actual cash balance of $2.9 million, which
represents a change of $82,000. Mr. Reinhardt stated that total is a combination of the operating
fund and capital reserve for Earle Brown Heritage Center, which should be a positive increase in
cash. He added an operating loss might not necessarily reflect the whole picture if there is positive
cash flow.
Mr. Splinter stated Earle Brown Heritage Center did their first $5 million cash flow in 2018 in
receipts from customers.
Mr. Reinhardt stated there was an increase in cash balances for the City’s utility funds. He added
bonds were issued to pay for Fire House Park infrastructure improvements and the Water Tower
rehab project. He added cash balances swing from year to year based on projects and how the City
pays for them.
Mr. Reinhardt stated the City made significant investments of $12.3 million on various projects,
including Fire House Park, the Community Center, and sanitary sewer station replacement. He
added the 2018 investment gain of $701,000 compares to $431,00 0 from the previous year. He
6/9/2019 7
DRAFT
noted investments are held to maturity, so they do not translate to an unrealized loss unless the City
sells them.
Mr. Reinhardt stated the Economic Development Authority (EDA) owned $14 million in assets at
the end of 2018. He thanked MMR consultants Jim Eichten and Jaclyn Huegel for their excellent
communication and for moving the process forward. He thanked Mr. Splinter for his hard work on
preparing for the audit and providing accurate financial information to ensure the audit gets
completed in time. He added the City could be proud of its financial position, including a low
amount of budget surplus.
Councilmember Ryan stated the State legislature has reduced business property taxes, which could
have an impact as certain classes of property appreciate faster than others and drive up property tax
numbers. He added a result would be a faster appreciation of home values.
Mayor Elliott requested clarification regarding community center use fees. Mr. Reinhardt stated
community center revenues had declined steadily over the past few years, as admissions were down,
and it is difficult to find the staff to teach swimming lessons.
Councilmember Graves stated an argument could be made that the community center serves a similar
purpose as the golf course. Mr. Boganey agreed.
Mr. Splinter stated the Community Center has always been in the General Fund as it provides a
benefit to the City and its residents.
Mayor Elliott asked whether it is common for community centers to operate at deficit levels.
Mr. Splinter stated it would be difficult to say that the community center loses money, as it is not
being charged depreciation like other enterprise funds. He added community center use charges are
not intended to cover the full cost of operation.
Mr. Reinhardt stated it is difficult to compare other city’s community centers due to the wide variety
of amenities.
Mayor Elliott asked whether community center operations costs would benefit if registrations were
up, and swimming lessons were provided. Mr. Boganey agreed to look into it.
Commissioner Van Der Werf asked whether there has been a positive financial impact on Brooklyn
Center from both the Luther developments and TopGolf.
Mr. Boganey stated City Staff could provide the exact numbers. He added the Luther developments
fall within TIF District #3, and they contribute substantially to the City’s ability to pay off TIF #3
debt. He noted revenue from TopGolf goes into the General Fund.
Councilmember Graves asked whether the consultants or City Staff have any experience with
participatory budgeting. She added the whole point of auditing is to make sure things are done fairly.
6/9/2019 8
DRAFT
She asked whether specific criteria are sought that reflect the social level of ethics in relation to
budgeting processes, to provide a more people-centric way of budgeting.
Councilmember Ryan stated Councilmember Graves raises an interesting philosophical issue about
budgeting practices, and how the City Council as policymakers base their value judgments upon an
understanding of the community’s needs.
Mr. Boganey stated he had not had experience with the participatory style of budgeting, but he is
familiar with virtually every other type of budget process, and they all have their pros and cons. He
added he could provide some examples of communities that have done inclusive budgeting involving
the community. He noted this is something the City Council should talk about and have a discussion
about making the budgeting process more inclusive of the community.
Mr. Reinhard stated the budgeting process is very consistent from city to city, specifically in
Minnesota. He added some other states employ unique approaches based on various factors. He
added Brooklyn Center has more dialogue than most cities and spends time going through the budget
as a group.
Mr. Elliott stated this is worth looking into as it is a profound question. He added he would like to
see more information about other communities who employ this method, and what positive and
negatives have been noted.
Mr. Boganey stated communities that approach budgeting based on values follow a “budgeting for
outcomes” process, to determine outcomes at the highest levels of values and engage the public in
determining potential outcomes.
MISCELLANEOUS
Mr. Boganey stated the Community Development Director requested a City Council Special Work
Session to review the draft opportunity site master plan. He added potential dates are: June 17, 18,
19, 20, 25, 26, 27. He requested that the City Councilmembers who were present consider these
dates for their availability.
Mayor Elliott stated he had expressed his concern about looking at a master plan for the
development. He added the master plan should include community input.
Councilmember Ryan stated there had been extensive community input. He added it would be
helpful to see a master plan and hear about any additional information from the developer as well as
the Community Development Director.
Mayor Elliott stressed the importance of getting input from the diverse groups within the community,
to build something that reflects the uniqueness of Brooklyn Center.
Mr. Boganey stated the purpose of the proposed workshop is to review research and information that
the developer has come up with up to this point, based on what is happening in the marketplace as
well as ideas and approaches. He added no action would be required at these meetings.

The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Study Session called to order by Mayor Mike Elliott at

ROLL CALL
Mayor Mike Elliott and Councilmembers Marquita Butler, April Graves, Kris Lawrence-
Anderson, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, Deputy City Manager
Reggie Edwards, Community Development Director Meg Beekman, Police Chief Tim Gannon,
City Attorney Troy Gilchrist, and Mary Mullen, TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc.
CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS
Councilmember Graves requested clarification regarding Consent Agenda items related to task
forces. Mayor Elliott suggested those items be pulled from the Consent Agenda for further
discussion as they are significant agreements. Councilmember Graves agreed.
It was agreed that the City Council would remove Consent Agenda Items C, D and E to be
addressed during the Regular Session.
Councilmember Butler requested clarification regarding Agenda Item 7a, a motion to accept
Opportunity Site Report and Recommendations. She added she understood there would be
additional community engagement, and this is an ongoing issue.
Mr. Boganey agreed, stating the report being presented is an update on the results of activities up
to this point, and the action is to accept the report and recommendations. He added there are
additional engagement activities proposed and planned, and City Staff will review that
information at tonight’s meeting.
Community Development Director Meg Beekman stated a presentation from Gretchen Nicholls,
representing LISC, will include a summary of the facilitated workshop series. She added two
deliverables were required from LISC – a summary of the four workshops and a final document
drafted by participants at the fourth workshop that includes recommendations for moving
forward. She noted the City Council’s acceptance of these components is acknowledging the
community’s work in the planning process as well as additional work that is required.
06/10/19 -2- DRAFT
Ms. Beekman stated the process has been instrumental in identifying how the information can be
utilized across the community, in other locations as well, for development opportunities.
Councilmember Graves the contract with LISC was negotiated by the developer and not the City.
She added there are ways in which the process could have resulted in more thorough
engagement. She noted she does not dismiss the work of LISC, nor the input and participation of
City Staff and residents, and she believes the work is valid. She requested that the
recommendation should say “further input is needed” rather than “when needed.”
Mayor Elliott asked whether the developer will use the report as a guide for the development of
the master plan. Ms. Beekman stated the recommendations are not written as a guide, as the
report was written in partnership with the developer, City Staff, and the community. She added
the unique process was new to LISC as well, and they accommodated the request to blend it with
their traditional methods. She noted the intention and outcomes were largely the same, and a set
of values related to the development were developed as well as recommendations of what would
be appropriate and desirable at the Opportunity Site.
Ms. Beekman stated one idea that came up was the idea of an international market. She added
the next phase would include engagement with local entrepreneurs to focus on ways to create
space for local businesses to move into that vision. She noted a multi-cultural center was another
idea that will require further exploration.
Councilmember Ryan stated he attended all four community workshops. He added the developer
needs recommendations so they can move forward. He noted additional engagement would need
to be done in a timely manner.
Councilmember Butler stated the City should not be concerned with the developer’s timeline, as
these decisions will mean big changes within the community. She added the efforts that were
put forth were good, but they were not enough. She noted she did not see the diversity of the
community reflected in the workshops.
Councilmember Butler stated a better job could have been done of consulting various
organizations within the City as part of this process. She added the idea of holding the
workshops at the library and providing food was a great idea, but many residents might not feel
comfortable coming to the library. She noted she would have preferred holding the workshops in
other local places would have been a more fruitful opportunity to get participation from people
with diverse backgrounds.

Highway 242 Update Meeting
Mr. Boganey stated the Highway 252 Project Technical Advisory Committee would like to
schedule a Policy Advisory Committee meeting on July 29, 2019, to receive a project update,
and would include City Staff, Mayor Elliott, Councilmember Ryan, and others. He added this
group would meet at a public meeting the first week in August, and City Staff would like to
allow the rest of the City Council to review the draft before the public hearing. He asked
whether the City Council is interested in reviewing the draft, and what dates would work for
them.
Mayor Elliott stated he supports City Council review of the plan. He added he had expressed the
importance of including residents who will be the most affected by the project.
Councilmember Ryan stated a public meeting was held in December 2018, that included
representatives of Hennepin County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT),
and many public hearings have been held. He added Hennepin County has been amenable to
recommendations from the City on past projects.
Mayor Elliott agreed, stressing the importance of providing an opportunity for residents to be
part of the process.
Discussion of this item reached a conclusion at the June 10, 2019, Work Session.

7. PRESENTATIONS/PROCLAMATIONS/RECOGNITIONS/DONATIONS
7a. PRESENTATION OF OPPORTUNITY SITE CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT
INITIATIVE – REPORT AND FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Community Development Director Meg Beekman introduced Gretchen Nicholls with LISC Twin
Cities. Ms. Nicholls gave a presentation on a series of community workshops that took place in
06/10/19 -5- DRAFT
March-May 2019 regarding the Opportunity Site development, with Alatus LLC as their partner.
Alatus engaged LISC to engage the community review development possibilities at the 35-acre
site owned by the City, which is part of a larger Master Plan area.
Ms. Nicholls stated the development has some urgency to it; the property is important within the
community. She added the goal was to provide a platform for the community to think about
what possibilities for development at the Opportunity Site.
Ms. Nicholls stated the workshop series was an effort to gather community ideas, facilitate
conversation, and incorporate ideas into the process. She added the four workshops were
supported by an advisory group and a panel of volunteers who came to share their expertise. She
noted the number of attendees doubled at each workshop, and she credited City Staff with getting
out and recruiting as many people as possible to join the conversation.
Ms. Nicholls stated translation services were offered for the Latino and Hmong communities,
and other traditional resources were available for residents.
Ms. Nicholls stated the first workshop focused on defining community values, and important
amenities based on the uniqueness of the site. She added concern for future development was
discussed, including environmental concern, types of uses, and what types of things people
would like to see.
Ms. Nicholls stated the subsequent workshops included a developer panel discussion and
identified the goal of supporting small businesses and creating housing options for all incomes,
as well as creating economic vitality for local businesses.
Ms. Nicholls stated recommendations and goals that came out of the workshops were: embrace
and grow diversity; produce places that bring the community together; create a vibrant and
distinctive public space and consider sustainability in the design of the development. She added
the recommendations are made to help the City as development opportunities are considered and
will also be helpful to Alatus for their ideas and strategies for the larger site.
Councilmember Graves asked whether LISC typically uses this type of process, and where the
City is currently in the planning stages. She asked how Ms. Nicholls felt about progress made
during the workshops. Ms. Nicholls stated LISC is typically engaged by a City and not a
developer. She added LISC is usually involved before a developer is brought onto the project.
She added parameters are clear when working with a developer, especially with a big site. She
added the City felt that this was a very important conversation involving as many people as
possible.
Councilmember Graves requested clarification regarding the use of Community Benefits
Agreements (CBA’s). Ms. Nicholls stated CBA’s are a legal document often used to provide
teeth and depth to an important development discussion.
06/10/19 -6- DRAFT
Councilmember Graves expressed her appreciation to Ms. Nicholls and LISC for their work.
She asked for recommendations about what the City can do to ensure that a development is
planned that best serves the City’s residents.
Ms. Nicholls stated the City is on a good track. She stressed the importance of identifying
priorities and working with partnerships. She added it had been a pleasure because the
community has embraced the process.
Councilmember Graves stated the City Council had expressed their concern about the lack of
diversity in the process, although it did improve. She added she would have liked to see more
representative groups from the community and involvement from community partners.
Councilmember Butler thanked Ms. Nicholls for her presentation. She noted she felt one
missing component was a youth voice. She added the development would have a big impact on
teenagers and young adults, but there were very few in attendance. She asked what efforts were
made to involve youth. Ms. Nicholls stated it is difficult to get youth to participate in these types
of meetings. She added Ms. Beekman was able to reach out to the schools.
Ms. Beekman stated this is the first time she has ever seen youth involved in this type of process
at all. She added a group of 6-8 youth participated throughout the entire process.
Mr. Boganey stated City Staff reached out to Brooklyn Bridge, and they posted notices on their
website and in their newsletter, and it was discussed at the Youth Council.
Councilmember Butler stated there are many organizations embedded in Brooklyn Center that
were not represented on the Advisory Group. She added businesses owners should have been
represented. She noted she was concerned about the lack of diversity and disappointed in lack of
participation by community groups.
Councilmember Butler stated community members walked out of the second workshop as they
did not feel their ideas were being received and heard. She added she is happy about the themes
that were captured, and workshop attendees expressed that people’s voices were heard. She
noted she appreciates the efforts of Gretchen Nicholls and LISC and what went into the work
they did.
Councilmember Ryan thanked Ms. Nicholls for her presentation, and he thanked LISC for being
a part of the process and their hard work. He added the process got better as it went along. He
noted residents of Brooklyn Center come from many different diverse communities, and have
embraced each other in their differences, which is why it is critically important to involve the
community in this process.
06/10/19 -7- DRAFT
Mayor Elliott stated many residents have said they did not know about the process. He added
engagement is not easy, but it is possible to do it in Brooklyn Center, from his own experience.
He noted this project represents a big opportunity for Brooklyn Center, and there is a financial
incentive for this development to happen, but it must truly be a benefit to the entire community.
Councilmember Ryan moved, and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to accept the
Opportunity Site Corridor Development Initiative Summary Report and Final Recommendations
Submitted by Gretchen Nicholls, Twin Cities LISC.
Motion passed unanimously.
8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
8a. ORDINANCE NO. 2019-04 AMENDING CHAPTER 35 OF THE CITY CODE OF
ORDINANCES REGARDING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF 5801
XERXES AVENUE NORTH
Ms. Beekman reviewed this agenda item, related to the proposed redevelopment of 5801 Xerxes
Avenue by Real Estate Equities to develop two multi-family buildings. She added the City
Council voted to approve a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the property at its May 28,
2019 meeting. She reviewed site plan specifics, parking requirements, and a traffic study. She
noted the developer met with the City’s public art consultant to discuss public art and
enhancements as part of the landscaping component.
Ms. Beekman stated concerns had been raised regarding the mid-block building exit, pedestrian
circulation, and access to commercial properties to the south. She added the mid-block exit was
added as a recommendation. She noted the public art consultant provided recommendations for
enhancing the pedestrian areas and improve walkability and visibility, which mitigate some of
the concerns about the mid-walk crossing and overall site plan improvements.
Councilmember Ryan moved, and Councilmember Butler seconded to open the Public Hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
Carol Kleven, 3845 Zenith Avenue, asked whether food will be available for senior citizens to
buy. She asked whether there will be a beauty salon.
Alex Bisanz, representing Real Estate Equities (REE), stated the independent senior living
component would not be assisted living, and food will not be provided. He added a salon is
being considered, and there will be many community spaces, including a club room, fitness
room, hobby/craft space, and outdoor spaces.
Ms. Kleven stated the Gateway development has 252 units on 17 acres, with a fence all the way
around. She added this proposed development has more units than that on only 5 acres. Ms.
06/10/19 -8- DRAFT
Kleven stated she read about the grilling area, and she does not believe people will want to share
grills.
Mayor Elliott thanked former City Councilmember Carol Kleven for her comments.
Mr. Bisanz stated food service would not be provided as the development will not be assisted
living. He added Gateway Commons was built in the 1960s with more density and surface
parking. He noted parking at the proposed site will be sufficient.
Mr. Bisanz stated REE does grilling areas at all their properties as a community space for people
to come together. He added there is not typically a large number of people who want to grill.
Mr. Bisanz gave a presentation on the development project at 5801 Xerxes Avenue. He added it
is an exceptional location with access to transportation and will provide $60 million investment
in the City of Brooklyn Center, with committed long-term owners. He showed a traffic foot
map, showing access to all pathways and crosswalks, as well as transit and garage access.
Mr. Bisanz stated the tot lot is in the best location possible on the site. She added there should be
a 6-foot fence around the tot lot. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated it is not a good
location unless it is fenced, due to the busy street. Mr. Bisanz stated the tot lot would be fenced
and elevated.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked whether there will be a fence. Mr. Bisanz stated
there is currently no fence plan as there have been differing opinions.
Councilmember Graves stated the issues of safety and security were already discussed with the
developer, at a meeting at which Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson was absent. She added
the developer has indicated security measures will include security cameras, controlled key fob
access, surveillance of access points, and a security guard during the leasing process.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she loves all the aspects of the project except the
parking in the middle. She added she does not understand how big the community space will be.
She noted she loves the appearance of the building.
Councilmember Graves moved, and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Public Hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
Councilmember Ryan moved, and Councilmember Graves seconded to Approve a Second
Reading and Adopt ORDINANCE NO. 2019-04 Regarding the Zoning Classification of 5801
Xerxes Avenue North.
Motion passed unanimously.
06/10/19 -9- DRAFT

Director of Fiscal & Support Services Nate Reinhardt reviewed the conduit debt application for
the REE Workforce Housing Project. Project requirements are met, including compatibility with
the overall objectives of the City and neighborhood; the City’s intent to redevelop and assist with
business expansion; and have a substantially favorable effect upon the community.
Mr. Reinhardt stated a maximum amount of $19 million would be authorized by the Minnesota
Department of Management and Budget. He added the intent is to submit for bonding authority
for the senior living component of the project in July 2019. He noted the resolution also contains
a Joint Powers Agreement that would allow REE to re-use bonding authority from another St.
Paul project.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson moved, and Councilmember Ryan seconded to open the
Public Hearing at 9:00 p.m.
Motion passed unanimously.
Harlan Daudt, 6000 York Avenue S., asked who is responsible for paying back the bonds if the
project is not successful. Mayor Elliott stated the City does not assume any liability for this
project.
Mr. Daudt asked whether it is common for businesses to get these types of bonds. Mr. Boganey
stated these bonds are only available for qualified projects that meet certain criteria and provide a
special benefit for low-income residents, businesses, or schools.
Mr. Daudt asked what kind of tax incentives the developer will be getting for this development.
Mr. Boganey stated that has not yet been determined or approved by the City Council, but a
request and public hearing are expected.
Councilmember Ryan moved, and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to close the
Public Hearing at 9:05 p.m.
Motion passed unanimously.

YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT
Mr. Boganey asked whether the City Council/EDA would hold Youth in Government Day on
July 22, 2019, and give up part of their Study Session.
There was a majority Consensus among the City Council/EDA to hold Youth in Government
Day on July 22, 2019.
ZONING CODE TASK FORCE CHARTER DISCUSSION
Community Development Director Meg Beekman requested the City Council/EDA’s comments
and feedback on formation of a Zoning Code Task Force that would not supersede the Planning
Commission but rather would fill an additional advisory role for City Staff and consultants as the
Zoning Code language is drafted.
Ms. Beekman added City Staff would like to begin the process of recruiting Task Force
members, based on a goal of identifying representative demographics within the community.
06/10/19 -2- DRAFT
She noted potential Task Force Members would have an interest in Zoning and a basic
understanding of the regulatory framework.
Ms. Beekman stated City Staff hopes that the Task Force will include at least two business
owners, two Planning Commissioners and two Housing Commissioners. She added the rest of
the Task Force would be community-based. She noted the City Council/EDA would be asked to
participate in the recruitment of Task Force members who will remain invested in the process.
Ms. Beekman stated City Staff hopes to get consensus from the City Council/EDA to move
forward with the development of a Zoning Code Task Force. She added a charter had been
prepared that identifies roles and responsibilities and lays out a time frame.
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan stressed the importance of finding well-informed and
engaged citizens to serve on the Task Force who are not already on another Commission.
Ms. Beekman stated City Staff intended that the Task Force would be comprised of two
members each from the Planning Commission and Housing Commission. She added the
language would ultimately be used by those two Commissions. She added representation from
the business community would also be sought for the Task Force. She noted the next Planning
Commissioners could come out of this group.
Ms. Beekman stated the Task Force’s participation would represent the diversity of the
community. She added the group of 10-12 Task Force members would be equally representative
of the City’s diversity.
Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson asked whether the Zoning Ordinance will be
changed, eliminating Special Use Permits. Ms. Beekman stated that it is not the sole purpose but
could be an element of the process.
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves stated she does not see any negative results from having a
Task Force for the Zoning Code. She added she supports getting some business owners and
residents who do not serve on other Commissions. She asked how often the Task Force would
meet. Ms. Beekman stated the Task Force would meet every other month.
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves stated she supports moving ahead with the Task Force, as
it is a good idea to encourage community engagement in the Zoning process.
Ms. Beekman stated, regarding the application process, City Staff has put together an application
and flyers for the City Council/EDA to distribute within the community. She added the goal of
ethnic and geographically diverse representation would be considered.
06/10/19 -3- DRAFT
Mr. Boganey asked how the City Council/EDA would like the selection process to be handled.
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves stated she would like to see the applications.
Mayor/President Elliott stated it would be important to see how the opportunity is framed.
Mr. Boganey stated City Staff would gather the applicant’s information and classify it in a
manner that allows the City Council/EDA to see their differences. He added raw data would be
provided to allow the City Council/EDA to determine who they wish to have serve on the Task
Force.
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan asked City Attorney Troy Gilchrist whether it is the
responsibility of the Planning Commission to make recommendations to the City Council/EDA
regarding Zoning Ordinances. Mr. Gilchrist confirmed this, adding the public hearing would be
held at a Planning Commission meeting, and then forwarded to the City Council/EDA for
decision.
BROOKLYN CENTER LIQUOR STORE CONSTRUCTION ALTERNATE NO. 1:
FUTURE TENANT SPACE
Director of Fiscal & Support Services Nate Reinhardt stated City Staff is requesting consensus
from the City Council/EDA to move forward with Bid Alternate No. 1 for the future tenant space
at the Liquor Store #1 location. He added 12 bids were received, and the low bidder was B2
Builders, Bloomington, MN, whose owner has previously worked on projects in Shingle Creek
Crossing. He noted the bid amount of $1,901,000 is $441,000 under the estimate.
Mr. Reinhardt stated the City has options for building the additional space, including completion
of the space with the intention to sell it and achieve City Council/EDA priorities. He added the
City would retain some ability to have a voice in the property’s use. He asked whether the City
Council/EDA supports the construction of future tenant space, and if so, how they would like to
see the space utilized.
Mayor/President Elliott stated he voted against the liquor store, but the tenant space provides an
important potential opportunity. He noted the future growth of Minnesota’s economy would be
greatly impacted by communities of color, and there is great potential for economic growth that
would be concentrated in Brooklyn Center. He noted he supports moving ahead with the tenant
space and providing subsidies to ensure that it is affordable.
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves stated she is leaning toward Option 6, lease with the
intent to achieve Council priorities. She asked how the proposed size of the new tenant space
compares with other spaces in that development.
Mr. Reinhardt stated the lease prices are marketable to other spaces around this area. He added
rent on the new space will probably be higher due to property tax and maintenance costs, since
06/10/19 -4- DRAFT
the City will be the owners of the building. Overall, the CAM charges would be below that
Shingle Creek Crossing would charge for example.
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves asked whether the space will accommodate two tenants.
Mr. Reinhardt stated the pad site could be divided for different uses.
Ms. Beekman stated each financial scenario is linked to a different economic outcome, including
what type of business, how it might be operated and the financial model of how it would relate to
other commercial uses in Brooklyn Center. She added if the City Council/EDA decides to move
forward with this plan, the next step will be to determine the amount of oversight the City will
have over the space. She noted there is a range of options represented here that have significant
differences in the amount of resources they require, in terms of cost but also ongoing site
management.
Ms. Beekman stated Option 6 could incorporate a boutique retail space where vendors can
market and sell their products, and the City takes a percentage of the profits. She added
additional City Staff would need to be hired to operate and manage the space, and the revenue
that would be earned would not be equal to operating costs.
Ms. Beekman stated this could be an ownership opportunity for a small local business. She
added this would be a benefit for the business owner who would be able to sell the property. She
noted this would be a good opportunity for a small business.
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves stated she would not support the idea of the City being
the owner/manager of the space, hiring staff, and managing daily operations. She added the
location could be a place where a business would grow and move on to something bigger.
Councilmember/Commissioner Graves stated two tenants could support each other and promote
growth, but she added she is unsure what would have to be done to make it possible. She
stressed the importance of giving businesses the opportunity to be seen and recognized in the
community, which is what she is hoping for this space.
Mayor/President Elliott agreed, adding multiple tenants and storefronts can provide support and
growth opportunities. He asked what level of involvement would be required from Staff, and
whether the community should be involved in the decision-making process.
Ms. Beekman stated City Staff would meet with ACER, WomenVenture, and Aida, who have
relationships with small businesses and entrepreneurs. She added this is a good starting point to
determine the needs of an entrepreneur starting up a small business.
Mr. Reinhardt stated it makes sense to create a criteria-based request to see if there is any
interest. He added most of the options that are being discussed would require further review and
exploration before further discussion by the City Council/EDA.
06/10/19 -5- DRAFT
Mr. Reinhardt stated construction is scheduled to begin in July 2019 with the exterior of the
building complete by the end of the year. He added the City Council/EDA would have time to
work through ideas and proposals. He noted a prospective tenant could begin planning their
space while construction is still underway.
Mr. Boganey stated, in summary, the City Council/EDA would like City Staff to proceed with
building the adjacent retail space and provide a range of options in terms of objectives and
mission. He stressed the importance of recognizing that assisting local businesses providing
affordable spaces and that there could be substantial underwriting of costs by the EDA and the
City. He noted City staff could bring ideas and strategies back to the City Council/EDA based
on their direction, with options that are compatible with the City Council/EDA’s comments and
feedback.
Mayor/President Elliott stated he supports Option 6, providing future tenant space.
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan stated he supports selling or leasing the space for the
highest return. He added some aspirational visions are interesting but require further research to
determine any hidden costs. He noted 9 out of 10 small businesses fail within the first two years.
Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson stated she would not be supportive of hiring
additional City Staff to support this space. She added she would support helping small
businesses but not putting the City at risk. She noted it would be beneficial to complete all the
construction at the same time.
Councilmember/Commissioner Butler stated there is potential to get a small business in the
space, and the City would still have control. She added there is risk involved, but taking a
creative approach and advanced planning will provide a basis for success. She noted she would
like to support a small business venture in the space.
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan stated, aside from tonight’s discussion and decision, the
City Council/EDA should revisit how to promote and support small businesses. She added City
staff, including Business and Work Force Development Coordinator Brett Angell, can provide
support with this effort.
Mr. Boganey stated the City Council/EDA had expressed a strong consensus in moving forward
with building the tenant space. He added there is a mixed perspective on how it should be used,
but that can be reviewed and discussed over the next several months to determine the most
effective use.
Stacy Kvilvang, Ehlers, stated the City should consider what they will be giving up from a fiscal
standpoint. She added retail is a great opportunity to promote further economic growth and
diversity at a low cost. She added she would go with smaller businesses that are not food related.
06/10/19 -6- DRAFT
She noted, however, the City can expect to write off 100% of its investment in the interests of
expansion and entrepreneurship.
ADJOURNMENT

F R O M:Nate R einhardt, F inance Director
S UBJ EC T:R esolution Acc epting Bid and Awarding C ontrac t for the C onstruc tion of a Municipal
Liquor S tore
Requested Council Action:
- M otion to approve a resolution of the lowest responsible bid and award a contract to B 2 B uilders for the
C onstruction of a M unicipal L iquor S tore.
Background:
Bids for C ons tructio n o f a Munic ip al Liquo r S tore were rec eived and o p ened o n June 4, 2019. T he projec t
bid includ ed the bas e bid for the cons tructio n of the municipal liq uor sto re inc luding ad d itional tenant s pace
and s ite improvements. In addition, there were s ix alternates that were inc luded in the bid s pecific ations :
Alternate No . 1 – F uture Tenant S pac e p ro vides the c o s t to delete the cons tructio n of the 3,582 fo o t additional
F uture Tenant S pac e and revis e the location of the ris er utility room to the liquor s tore footprint.
Alternate No . 2 – P o lis hed C oncrete F inis h Level provid es the c o s t of p o lis hed c o nc rete flo o rs fro m glo s s to
low s heen.
Alternate No. 3 – Mo torized R oller S had es p ro vides the cost to provid e mo torized roller s had es at wes t facing
windows with daylite sens or and remote c ontrol.
Alternate No. 4 – S tained C onc rete provides the c os t to add stain to polis hed concrete floor finish.
Alternate No. 5 – Delete C ash Wrap C as ework provid es the cost to delete the c as h wrap c as ewo rk and
countertops.
Alternate No. 6 – R evis e Elec trified Door Hardware p ro vides the c o s t to replac e electro nic lo cks ets with non-
electronic loc ksets with similar functions and electric s trikes .
T he C ity C ounc il held a work session o n June 10, 2019 to dis c us s Alternate No . 1 – F uture Tenant S pace. At
that wo rk session the C ity C o unc il indic ated a preference build the additio nal 3,582 s q uare foot b uilding s hell.
Additionally, the C ity C ouncil directed staff to further explore leasing and s ale options of the additional spac e.
T hirteen bids were received and results are tabulated below:
Lee’s C eramic s was the ap p arent lo w bidder at the time of the bid o p ening, however their b id s ubmittal did not
inc lude the b id alternates. It was apparent that the s ubmittal was fo r only a p o rtion of the projec t. After
contac ted Lee’s C eramic s subs equently withdrew their bid.
T he es timated projec t c o s t for the c onstruc tion o f a Municipal Liquor S to re and Additio nal Tenant S p ace was
$2,660,000. T he lo wes t res pons ib le bas e b id of $2,219,000 was sub mitted by B2 Build ers , L L C of
Bloomington, Minnes ota. B2 Builders has the experience, eq uipment and c ap acity to qualify as the lowes t
res ponsible bidder for the projec t. T he o wner was p revious ly a p ro ject manager with a c o nstruc tion company
that built six other buildings at S hingle C reek C ros s ing.
Based o n the presc rib ed bidding guid elines, the C ity may acc ep t and award the c o ntract bas ed o n any
combination of the base b id and /or alternate b id items, whic h b es t s erves the interests of the C ity. S taff’s
recommendation is to award the p ro jec t to B2 Builders , L L C based o n the lo west bas e bid o f $2,219,000, and
reject all alternates. However, s taff would like to further p ursue Alternate #3 – Motorized R o ller S had es whic h
provides a c o nvenient way to p ro tec t product from direc t s unlight d amage and Alternate No . 4 – S tained
C onc rete to enhanc e the appearance of the s tore. If the C ity moves fo rward with these items, they will be
either coordinated with the contrac tor and ad d ed as a change o rd er o r completed und er a s ep arate contrac t
with a different vendor. T he C ity intends to review the propos ed Alternate #3 – Motorized R oller S hades
more in depth with the s ubc o ntrac to r b efo re agreeing to an amo unt, the wo rd ing of the alternate req ues t may
have been c o nfus ing to bidders who m may have pric ed the alternate as “p er window s ec tion”, o f whic h there
are eight (8) window sec tions . T he total c os t of these two alternates will not exc eed $27,520.
S taff is als o c urrently in the p ro ces s o f rec eiving bids fo r the beer cave and s tore s helving. T hese items were
budgeted and bid s ep arately fro m the c o nstruc tion of the building. T he bid opening will oc cur on June 27,
2019 and will be presented to C ity C ounc il fo r award in July. S taff anticipates the c o s t fo r these items will be
approximately $210,000.
Budget Issues:
T he low bid amount of $2,219,000 is 17 percent under the es timated c onstruc tion c os t of $2,660,000.
T he total estimated budget inc luding land acquis ition, contingencies, furnishings , des ign, administration,
engineering, legal and financing was $4,040,000 and is amend ed to $3,608,000 (s ee attac hed R esolution –
C os ts and R evenues tables). T he o verall p ro ject cost reflec ts a 10.7 perc ent dec reas e to the originally
es timated amount.

reading and public hearing for July 8, 2019
Background:
C entra Homes (“T he Applic ant”) is requesting preliminary and final plat and planned unit development (P UD)
approval for a s ubdivis ion of property which is owned, in part, by the C ity of Brooklyn C enter's Economic
Development Authority (EDA). A portion of the property under c onsideration is also currently owned by
adjacent private property owners . T he c ombined 7.55 ac re site (“S ubjec t P roperties”) is loc ated just south of
69th Ave N and wes t of Highway 252.
T he proposal inc ludes a reques t to allow 30 new s ingle family lots and related stormwater, roadways, and utility
improvements. As part of the projec t, the applicant propos es to c onstruc t 30 single family owner-occ upied
homes on the subject property. T his project proposes new public streets in the F irehouse neighborhood in an
undeveloped area on lots owned by multiple parties. C amden Avenue N. and 5th S treet N. would be extended to
the north to a new 68th Lane N., which will connect to Aldrich Avenue N.
B ackground
In November 2018, the E D A received proposals to develop the E D A-owned portion of the property from three
different development firms. Centra H omes was selected as the preferred developer. C entra Homes had submitted
two alternative development options for the E D A to consider. Option A provided for more lots, but on smaller
parcels which would require allowances from the C ity C ode. O ption B provided for slightly larger lots, but fewer
homes. I n both options the houses would be predominantly two-story, “move-up”, for-sale homes valued between
$315,000 and $350,000. O ption A allowed C entra Homes to offer a higher purchase price to the E D A for the
land. T he E D A determined that because mid-priced, “move-up”, owner-occupied homes represent a gap in
Brooklyn C enter ’s housing stock, O ption A, which would allow for more units, was the preferred option.
O n D ecember 10, 2018, the Economic Development Authority (E D A) approved a P reliminary D evelopment
Agreement (P D A) with Centra H omes, L L C (City Council R esolution No. 2018-17) for the proposed
development of land owned by the E D A for the creation of a final plat, construction of single family homes and
associated public infrastructure improvements including utilities, new roads, and storm water ponding.
O n June 13, 2019, the P lanning C ommission considered the application which is in substantial conformance with
the layout and concept presented to the E D A by the Applicant. T he P lanning Commission reviewed the
application and held a public hearing. A planning staff report was presented, which is attached to this report. N otice
was mailed to the applicant and adjacent property owners as required by Section 35-210 of the City Code. P ublic
notice was also published in the S un Post; however, the notice was published two days short of the ten day public
hearing notice requirement, as is required by state statute. T he P lanning Commission held a public hearing
nonetheless since notice was still published and mailed notices had been sent out. I n order to fully comply with
state notification requirements, a second public hearing was duly noticed in the S un Post for the J une 24, 2019,
City Council meeting, and mailed notices were sent out a second time to adjacent property owners.
F our p eo p le spoke at the p ublic hearing. Two expressed q uestio ns regarding the need fo r this typ e of housing
and as ked whether a market study had b een d o ne. A ques tion was rais ed as to where the ro ad s wo uld c onnect.
Two res idents , a coup le, spoke in favor of the p ro jec t and exp res s ed an o p inion that it wo uld benefit the area
and inc reas e property values . T he d eveloper indic ated that they had no t d o ne a market study, but that their
experience with s imilar produc ts in s imilar markets was extensive and ind icated that this product was in high
demand.
After c lo s e of the pub lic hearing the P lanning C o mmis s io n deliberated on the p ro ject. T he P lanning
C ommis s ion expres s ed that this projec t was in keep ing with the c ity's comprehensive p lan and the goals
identified in it. T he P lanning C ommis s ion C hair expressed his concern regarding the c o nditio n of approval
which requires the s tromwater p o nd to be maintained b y the private property o wners via a home owners
as s ociation o r res tric tive c o venants . He expressed the o p inion that the C ity wo uld end up having to maintain it
ultimately and that go ing after future p ro p erty o wners to maintain the pond would b e d ifficult and time
cons uming. He also expressed concern o ver the reduced fro nt yard s etbac ks and whether that would
contribute to ons ite p arking vio lations . Dis cus s io n ensued , and the P lanning C ommission voted (6-0) to
recommend ap p ro val of the P lanning C o mmis s io n Applic ation No , 2019-008, with all o f the cond itions of
approval as stated in the staff report.

Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: May 16, 2019
Application No. 2019-008
Applicant: Centra Homes
Location: Generally south of 69th Avenue North, west of Highway 252, north of 68th
Avenue North, and east of Aldrich Avenue North
Request: Preliminary and final plat and Planned Unit Development (PUD) approval for a
subdivision of land to allow 30 new single family lots and related roadway,
stormwater, and utility improvements.
Requested Action
Centra Homes (“The Applicant”) is requesting preliminary and final plat approval for a subdivision of the
currently un-platted parcels (“Subject Properties”) located just south of 69th Ave N and west of Highway
252 and a Planned Unit Development to allow 30 new single family lots and related stormwater,
roadway, and utility improvements. As part of the project, the applicant proposes to construct 30 single
family owner-occupied homes on the subject property.
Background
On December 10, 2018, the Economic Development Authority (EDA) adopted a resolution approving a
Preliminary Development Agreement (PDA) with Centra Homes, LLC (City Council Resolution No. 2018-
17) for the proposed development of land owned by the EDA for the creation of a final plat, construction
of single family homes and associated public infrastructure improvements including utilities, new roads,
and storm water ponding.
The EDA had previously received proposals to develop the property from three various firms. Centra
Homes was selected as the preferred developer. Centra Homes had submitted two alternative
development options for the EDA to consider. Option A provided for more lots, but on smaller lots which
would require allowances from the City Code. Option B provided for slightly larger lots, but fewer
homes. In both options the houses would be predominantly two-story, “move-up”, for-sale homes
valued between $315,000 and $350,000. Option A allowed Centra Homes to offer a higher purchase
price to the EDA for the land. The EDA determined that because mid-priced, “move-up”, owner-
occupied homes represent a gap in Brooklyn Center’s housing stock, Option A, which would allow for
more units, was the preferred option.
This site proposes new public streets in the Firehouse neighborhood in an undeveloped area on lots
owned by multiple parties. Camden Avenue N. and 5th Street N. will be extended to the north to a new
68th Lane N., which will connect to Aldrich Avenue N. Exhibit A includes a project narrative and plans.

As part of the application, a public hearing notice was published in the Brooklyn Center Sun Post and
notices were mailed to owners of property within 350’ of the site (Exhibit B). As of the date of this
report, the City has not received any comments from the public about this proposal.

Comprehensive Plan
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides this property as Low Density Residential, which is defined as
densities ranging from 3-5 dwelling units per acre. The proposed project has a density of 3.97 units per
acre, which is consistent with the development pattern of the surrounding single family neighborhoods.
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan also identifies the following Housing and Neighborhood Goals:
• Promote a diverse housing stock that provides safe, stable, and accessibly housing options to all
of Brooklyn Center’s residents.
App. No. 2019-008
PC 06/13/2019
Page 3
• Recognize and identify ways to match Brooklyn Center’s housing with the City’s changing
demographics.
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies a growing number of young families in Brooklyn Center;
however, the Plan also identifies a lack of diversity in the single-family housing stock, with limited move-
up housing options as families grow. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies a need for more diverse
housing options which would allow families to stay in Brooklyn Center and find varying housing options
as their housing needs change. The proposed project would provide a housing type that would fulfill a
segment of this gap.
Zoning
The Applicant submitted site plans for review as part of their proposal, along with stormwater
management, utility, grading, drainage, and elevation plans. Staff reviewed the plans that were
submitted and have provided comments for this report, below.
Planned Unit Development
The site is currently zoned R1 (One Family Residence). The Applicant is requesting the property be
rezoned to a Planned Unit Development (PUD). PUDs grant flexibility within the zoning code to allow for
developments which would not be allowed under the existing regulations. PUDs are often used to
achieve a higher quality development, or achieve other City goals, in exchange for zoning flexibility from
the City Code.
The setbacks requested by the application are generally smaller than what is allowed by the code for R1-
zoned properties. The PUD proposal is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and would align
with the City’s strategic goal of Targeted Redevelopment by providing a type of mid-market housing that
would fill a need in the community for “move-up” housing stock. The type of product proposed within
this development would feature 3 and 4-bedroom units at a mid-market price point, with an average
sale price of $332,000.
Site Design
Initially, four new multi-Level homes will front the existing 69th Ave on the north side of the project
area. The reason for this design is to blend in better with neighboring homes. Twenty-six two-story slab-
on-grade homes will be created for the interior of the site. Each floorplan will have multiple exterior
elevations and several color packages to provide variety to the neighborhood and streetscape. The
Applicant indicates that all homes will have exterior stone, vinyl siding, board and batten or shakes, and
30-year shingles. Homes will feature tuck-under garages in lieu of detached units. Both housing types
have multiple floor plan options to accommodate varying market demands.
App. No. 2019-008

Setbacks
The Applicant maintains that the proposed setbacks and layout allows for the most efficient use of the
site, and responds to the current market demands of home buyers. All setbacks in the proposal are
measured from the right-of-way (ROW) which is approximately 15 feet from the curb. The chart below
compares the current setback requirements with the requested standards for the proposed PUD.
Current Standard Requested Flexibility
Lot Area (Sq. Ft.) Two-Story 9,500 / unit (interior lot)

In R1 neighborhoods, the front setback is typically 35 feet and the rear setback is 25 feet. The Applicant
proposes a 30-foot rear setback and a 25-foot front yard setback for the interior two-story properties.
This would make the rear yards larger than the front yards.
Staff finds that the side and interior setback requirements are generally consistent with existing
conditions for homes in other neighborhoods within Brooklyn Center. Generally, a 10-foot setback is
App. No. 2019-008
PC 06/13/2019
Page 5
required for interior lots, but in R1 neighborhoods, a detached garage is permitted within as little as 5
feet from the property line if the structure meets certain requirements under the building code. The
properties in the development will feature tuck-under garages, which would comply with the fire-rating
requirements under the building code that would allow them to be built with the minimum 5-foot
setback
The requested standard width and total lot area for the units in this subdivision proposal is generally
smaller than what is allowed within an R1 zone for both interior and corner lots. Because the Applicant
is requesting homes be built on lots where the properties would feature larger backyards, Staff
anticipates that this would provide residents with some privacy, given the smaller lots and closer
proximity between units in the subdivision. Overall, staff does not anticipate a significant negative
impact of the proposed setbacks.
Architectural Materials
The City has no architectural standards for residential buildings, but has determined that designs
proposed are consistent with other residential areas. The Applicant is proposing Covenants, Conditions,
and Restrictions (CC&Rs), which would be recorded against each lot within the Subdivision. These
CC&Rs outline certain uses, exterior materials, and procedures that homeowners will be required to
abide by. An Architectural Control Committee will be established to help maintain the exterior features
and presence of Eastbrook Estates 2nd Addition.
Access and Parking
Driveways will be roughly 40’ (curb to garage door), allowing adequate space for two vehicles to park.
Staff finds that this is design would fit the parking needs for most households with two vehicles, but
notes that throughout the City, vehicle parking on the front lawn is a common code enforcement
complaint due to the fact that many households in Brooklyn Center have more than 2 cars and utilize
garages for storage.
According to Section 19-103.14.b, driveways and paved or graveled extensions thereof may not exceed
50% of the front yard or a yard area abutting a public street. Based on review of plans, some driveways
on lots within the subdivision as proposed may already exceed 50% of the front yard. Staff recommends
as a condition of approval for the proposal that all properties on the development maintain a standard
that the driveway shall be no wider than the garage.
Landscaping
All green areas on a site will be sodded except in areas where viable turf exists and is totally undisturbed
by construction. The burden will be on the developer to prove at the time of a site inspection that the
groundcover has been properly maintained and restored.
The City does not have landscaping or tree removal standards for residential developments. The
Applicant did submit a landscaping plan however as part of their application. Prior to construction, the
Applicant will remove the trees currently on the development site. Upon completion of the homes, a
planting schedule and landscaping plan submitted to the City indicates that 90 trees will be planted
throughout the 30 single family parcels with a mix of overstory, coniferous, and ornamental varieties
that Staff finds consistent with landscaping in other neighborhoods.
Engineering Review:
Andrew Hogg, Assistant City Engineer, reviewed plans and provided a comment memo, dated June 4th,
App. No. 2019-008
PC 06/13/2019
Page 6
2019 (Exhibit C). All engineering comments must be addressed prior to the issuance of any permits for
land disturbing activity.
The developer will enter into a public improvement agreement which will outline the requirements for
public infrastructure for the project. The developer will construct, at their expense, all roadways,
stormwater, sewer connections, fire hydrants, and other utilities such as electric, water and sewer
connections per City standards. The public infrastructure will be turned over to the City upon successful
completion of the project.
The proposed development provides two stormwater treatment features. There will be a treatment
pond and an “iron infused” filtration basin. These stormwater treatment features will improve
downstream stormwater quality by removing sediment and phosphorus. The outlot on the south side of
the proposed subdivision would be utilized as a treatment pond that would be owned and maintained
by the Homeowner’s Association (HOA).
Fire Inspection/Building Review:
As a condition of the approval for the proposed PUD, all properties shall be required to install gutters on
each side of the building facing the side property lines. According to MN Res. Code 403.1, “lots shall be
graded to drain surface water away from foundation walls. The grade shall fall a minimum of 6 inches
within the first 10 feet.” Staff finds that this may be an issue with the different times of development on
future lots, providing gutters on the sides of the building and discharging them to the front or rear will
eliminate sloping problems and water build up in the easement.
The development of streets 68th Lane North, 5th Street North and Camden Ave North, shall have
hydrants andutilities installed prior to any building permits being issued for construction of dwellings on
lots located on said streets.
Conditions of Approval:
Staff recommends the following conditions be attached to any positive recommendation on the
approval of Planning Commission Application No. 2019-008 for the Subject Property located at the
aforementioned lots:
Anticipated Permitting
1. The Applicant shall apply for and receive a City Land Disturbance permit prior to commencing

3. The Applicant shall submit plans to the city for Shingle Creek Watershed District review.
4. The Applicant shall apply for and receive all applicable City building permits prior to

Buyer must give Seller written notice of such assignment, and (b) such assignment shall not
relieve Buyer from any of its obligations (including indemnification obligations) hereunder.
16. SURVIVAL. All of the terms of this Agreement and warranties and
representations herein contained shall survive and be enforceable after the Closing.
17. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given by

T HR O UG H:N/A
F R O M:Meg Beekman. C ommunity Development Director
S UBJ EC T:C ons ideration of a Term S heet between R eal Estate Equities and the Economic Development
Authority of Brooklyn C enter regarding Tax Inc rement F inanc ing
Background:
O n May 28, 2019, R eal Estate Equities rec eived approval from the C ity C ounc il for P lanning C ommission
Application 2019-006 for a P lanned Unit Development and S ite P lan to cons truct two multi-family buildings at
5801 Xerxes Avenue North. O ne building would be dedic ated to 127 workforce hous ing units . T he other
building would c onsist of 143 affordable independent s enior units. T he entire projec t would be affordable to
thos e earning 50-70% of the area median income. T he approval als o included a rezoning of the property to
P UD-TO D and to remove the property from the C entral C ommerc e O verlay District.
T he developer initially presented a c onc ept of the project to the C ity C ounc il in January 2019. At that meeting
they dis cus s ed their development plan, site layout and financ ial feasibility analys is . As part of their due
diligence, the developer anticipated the need for Tax Increment F inancing as part of their financ ial proforma. At
the time of their c onc ept review, the developer pres ented a s ourc es and us es whic h anticipated that the primary
s ourc e of financing for the development would be 4% Low Income Housing Tax C redits (LI HT C ) and tax
exempt bonds and that the total projec t costs would be estimated to be $58,850,074. T he developer initially
anticipated a total projec t gap of $4,547,750 in T I F, which would have had to have been paid bac k over the full
26 year life of a hous ing T I F dis tric t.
T he developer has since s ubmitted an application for public s ubsidy, along with their financ ial proforma and
analys is . Due to the way Minnesota Hous ing F inanc e Agency issues tax exempt bonds , the two buildings have
been s eparated for the purpose of the bonding application. T he workforce hous ing building has rec eived its
bonding allocation and the developer is requesting approval of a term sheet now and T I F agreement in order to
move forward with the rest of their financ ing. T he developer will apply for bonding in the sec ond round of
funding in August for the independent senior building and will return to the EDA at that time for approval of
their T I F plan and agreement for that building at that time.
T he C ity's financial cons ultant reviewed the financ ial information provided by the developer related to their
project and is recommending a $1.63 Million PAYG O T I F Note with a term not to exceed 16 years . A more
detailed explanation of their analysis is attac hed to this report.
A term s heet has been prepared outlining the terms of the future T I F plan and is attac hed to this report. T he
terms are in line with industry s tandards . T he EDA would be able to pool up to 10% of the inc rement for
administrative c os ts plus any additional inc rement towards the c reation or pres ervation of affordable hous ing.
In addition, the term s heet indicates that the T I F district would remain open for the full 26 years . T his would
mean that the income requirements required by s tate law under hous ing T I F dis tric ts would apply to the
property for the duration of the T I F dis tric t, even after their T I F note was paid off. It also would mean that
onc e the T I F note was paid, the EDA c ould pool 100% of the increment towards affordable hous ing. T he C ity
would have the option to close the district early at that point if it c hose as well.

Memo
To: Meg Beekman – Community Development Director
From: Stacie Kvilvang - Ehlers
Date: June 24, 2019
Subject: Real Estate Equities TIF Request
The City of Brooklyn Center requested that Ehlers review the development pro forma and
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) request from Real Estate Equities (the “Developer”) for their
proposal to construct a 127-unit workforce apartment on a portion of the former Jerry’s Food
site. All of the units would be affordable to households at or below 60% of area median
income (AMI) and would be both rent and income restricted as noted below:
This memo is intended to review the need for TIF assistance based on our analysis of the
Developer’s project budget and projections, generally known as a pro forma and provide a
summary of the terms for the TIF Agreement.
The Developer requested that the City provide them 26 years of tax increment on a pay-as-
you-go (PAYGO) basis (PAYGO is the typical City TIF financing structure for these types of
projects). With this type of structure, the City does not provide up-front funding. The
developer seeks the funding either through their first mortgage or a second mortgage for the
TIF amount. Therefore, the risk of the TIF being generated is borne by the developer, not
the City. If the TIF is inadequate to repay the TIF Note in full, the City has no obligation to
make up the shortfall.
We have reviewed the project based on general industry standards for construction, land,
and project costs; affordable rental rates and operating expenses; developer fees;
underwriting criteria; project cash flow, and the request for TIF assistance. The table on the
following page depicts the proposed sources and uses for the project:
Household Size Income Limit Unit Size Rent Limit Proposed Rents
1 $42,000 Studio $1,050 N/A
2 $48,000 1 $1,125 $1,047
3 $54,000 2 $1,350 $1,255
4 $60,000 3 $1,560 $1,447
Income Limit by Household Size Rent Limit by Unit Size
As noted in the table above, the TIF assistance is 5% of the total project costs, which is in
line with what we typically see in these types of projects (typically up to 10%). In addition,
the Developer if deferring 67% of their developer fee, which is more than we typically see
(up to 50%).
Generally, this project meets the expectations of tax credit, non-age restricted apartments
with regards to the financing structure, on-going operational costs and developer fee.
Following are our findings relating to the analysis completed for the development:
1. Financing. The Developer has maximized the first mortgage and 4% low-income
housing tax credits (LIHTC). Both the First Mortgage and the TIF Mortgage require debt
coverage of 115% to provide the lender the comfort that the revenues generated will be
adequate to repay the mortgages. In review of their coverage on both mortgages, they
have approximately 117% coverage. If for whatever reason the development falls below
the required coverage, the Developer is still able to make the payments, they just
receive less cash flow. If the coverage falls below 100%, typically their financing
parameters are full recourse, meaning that the Developer has to make the payment
from other sources, regardless.
2. Acquisition Cost : Total acquisition cost is $2,200,000 or $17,000/unit. This is higher
than the typical costs we see for apartments of $7,500 to $15,000.
3. Developer Fee : The Developer included a 10% developer fee, which is within industry
standard for a LIHTC project. They are deferring 67% of the fee. This fee would
typically be paid out in installments through the final construction draw, but the deferral
portion will be paid out of cash flow and it is anticipated it will take approximately twelve
(12) years for them to be repaid.

TOTAL USES 32,486,863 100% 255,802
4. Residential Total Development Cost (TDC) : The TDC is approximately $255,000
per/unit. This is in line with industry standards of $200,000 to $300,000.
5. Rents . Rents are slightly below the required threshold, which will provide a more
competitive product.
6. Management Fee . Management fees of 3.82% of gross revenue is within the typical
range of 3% to 6%.
7. Operating Expenses . Operating expenses of approximately $3,475/unit (before taxes,
management fees, and reserves) is within industry standards for projects of this size
(typical range is $3,400 to $4,000).
8. Vacancy . Vacancy is underwritten at 7% which is required by MHFA for LIHTC
projects.
Recommendation
We recommend providing the Developer with a $1.63 Million PAYGO Note with a term of 16
years. Even though the term of the TIF Note is 16 years, the Developer is required to keep
the property affordable at the rent and income for persons at or below 60% of the AMI for a
26-year term (length of the TIF District).

T he c o nc ep t review p ro cess is an opportunity fo r the C ity C ounc il to review a d evelopment concept prio r to a
fo rmal propos al from an ap p licant, and provide c omments, ask ques tions , and ind icate whether o r no t the C ity
would be o pen to the p ro ject. C o nc ep t reviews are help ful fo r projec ts that wo uld invo lve E DA-o wned land o r
p ublic sub s idy, as it p ro vides insight to staff and the develo p er as to the C ity C ounc il’s level of interes t, and
any spec ific c o nc erns , related to a p ro ject. A c onc ept review is c o nsidered advis o ry and is no nbind ing to the
C ity and the applic ant. No formal actio n can b e taken at a work session, and the C o uncil is no t b eing asked to
vote on the propos al. If the d eveloper cho os es to s ubmit a fo rmal applic atio n to the C ity to p ro ceed, it would
b e sub ject to the full review p ro cess, as with any o ther develo p ment applic atio n.
B ackgrou n d
O n November 26, 2018, P atric k C ruiks hank of T ho r Living, L L C , p res ented a c o nc ep t p ro p o s al for a multi-
family d evelop ment on three E DA-o wned lo ts at 61s t Avenue N and Brooklyn Boulevard, jus t s o uth o f the
S anc tuary d evelo p ment. T he c o nc ep t p ro pos ed 80-110 units of workfo rce ho us ing in a four-s tory build ing.
T he c o nc ep t als o c ontemplated the use o f tax inc rement financing to as s is t with the p ro ject. T he C ity C ounc il
was favorable to the p ro p o s al at that time, and direc ted s taff to mo ve fo rward with preparing a P reliminary
Development Agreement (P DA).
O n Dec emb er 10, 2018, the EDA entered into a P DA with T hor Living, LLC . T he P DA allowed T hor Living
to explore the d evelopment o f the p ro ject, and wo uld expire o n July 30, 2019, p ro viding T ho r Living with the
time to conduc t due diligenc e and put together a financ ial sub s id y ap p lication to the C ity for the develo pment.
O n January 21, 2019, the owners o f T hor Living, LLC , R avi No rman and R ic hard C o p eland s ent a letter to
the EDA reques ting that the P DA b e terminated. T he company had b een dis s olved and the d evelopment s taff
o f T hor Living, LLC had parted ways with the c ompany, b ranc hing o ff and c reating their o wn develo p ment
company, C oalitio n Development, LLC . T he owners o f T hor Living indic ated in their letter that they were
trans ferring any exis ting d evelopment rights that T hor Living had to C o alitio n Development.
O n F ebruary 11, 2019, the EDA approved the develo p ers reques t to terminate the P D A and enter into a
s ubstantially s imilar P DA with C o alition Development, LLC to take over the develo p ment projec t as originally
p ro p o s ed . T he terms o f the agreement remained the s ame.
D evelopment P la n
C o alition Development has continued their d ue d iligence work and has spent a s ubs tantial amount of time
refining their s ite p lan and financial p ro fo rma. T hey are p rep aring to sub mit a land us e and p ublic sub s id y
ap p licatio n to the C ity for a full review o f the projec t. P rior to a formal s ub mittal, they are reques ting a c onc ept
review with the C ity C o uncil and P lanning C o mmis s io n to get inp ut on the refined layo ut and develo p ment p lan
fo r the s ite.
S inc e the P DA was s igned, the E DA has acq uired a fourth parc el adjac ent to the initial three, which has b een
inc o rp o rated into the develo p ment plan. T he p ro ject remains sub s tantially the s ame as originally c o nc eived .
C o alition Development is proposing to cons truc t a 113-unit four-s tory building o n the site with a mix o f
s tud io s , o ne and two b ed ro o m units . T hey are p ro p o s ing 134 parking stalls in a mix of und erground and
s urfac e, at a ratio o f 1.19 s talls p er unit or jus t o ver o ne p er bedroom. A traffic and p arking s tud y will b e
cond uc ted as p art o f the analys is and review of the projec t.
T he build ing has b een s hifted and pus hed away fro m Bro o klyn Boulevard, whic h ac complishes two goals : 1) it
aligns better with the ad jacent S anc tuary d evelo p ment and better utilizes the s hared driveway between the two
s ites; and 2) it c reates s pac e for the rec o nstruc tio n o f Bro o klyn Boulevard and the needed ad d itional right-of-
way for trail c o nnec tio ns.
T he property abuts Wangstad P ark to the wes t, and the s ite p lan p ro vides plac ement of the build ing's surfac e
p arking lo t neares t to this property line, whic h provid es a b uffer b etween the b uilding and the park. F enc ing
and landc ap ing c an be p ro vided here as well to s o ften the b uffer b etween the p arking lo t and the park. T he
p ro p erty to the no rth is the S anctuary and c ontains the s id e of the build ing alo ng with their s ervic e road and a
ro w o f trees .
T he develo per is in the p ro cess o f reac hing out to nearby property o wners to d is cus s the p ro ject with them
ahead o f a formal ap p licatio n to the C ity.
Ta x In crement F inancin g
T he proposed develo p ment sites are in the exis ting T I F Dis tric t #6, whic h was rec ently created to
acc o mmo d ate the S anc tuary. As s uc h, T I F #6 is a ho using d is tric t, whic h is res erved fo r develo p ment
p ro jects whic h provid e a p ercentage of units to income q ualified renters for the d uratio n o f the T I F Distric t.
T he projec t as p ro p o s ed wo uld meet the rent requirements that c o inc id e with the income limits o f a hous ing
d is tric t, and the develo p er has ind icated that they intend to ap p ly fo r pub lic s ub s id y as part of their applic atio n
to the C ity. T heir financial p ro fo rma ind icates that there is a gap .
W hile they have c harac terized their projec t as market rate bec ause their pro p o s ed rents are market d riven, the
use o f T I F will require that a p ercentage of the units in the build ing wo uld be affo rd ab le to those making 50%
area median inc o me (AMI) o r 60% AMI d epend ing on what perc entage of units they cho o s e to set aside as
affo rd ab le.
C onforma n ce with C ity P olicies
T he EDA has b een acquiring property alo ng Brooklyn Bo ulevard for d ecad es with the intent of as s emb ling it
fo r higher and b etter us e as the transportation and land use p atterns o f the c o rrid o r c hange. Bro o klyn
Boulevard is und ergoing a c o mp lete recons truc tion whic h will have an effec t on the land use p atterns as ac c es s
p o ints are cons olidated and the ro ad way is altered .
With the ad optio n o f the 2040 C omprehensive P lan, the C ity adopted new future land us e designatio ns for
muc h o f the Bro o klyn Boulevard corridor, whic h inc luded a new land use des ignatio n o f Neighborho o d Mixed
Us e (NMU). T he NMU land use d es ignation c ontemplates an allowanc e of a mix o f medium dens ity
res id ential and/o r c o mmercial uses o n a given s ite d ep ending o n its lo cation along the c o rrid o r. F or examp le,
commerc ial us es , with a p o s s ib le mix of hous ing, will likely converge around primary, signalized inters ections ,
which offer better acc es s and vis ib ility; while med ium d ensity res id ential us es will make up the balance b etween
thes e primary nodes .
T he proposed develo p ment projec t is in keeping with the go als for the c o rridor, is c o nsistent with the adjac ent
S anc tuary d evelo p ment, and p ro vides a highes t and best us e for E DA p roperties , which have b een held by the
C ity for many years in s o me c as es . In addition, c ombined with the S anc tuary, the two projec ts, begin to
p ro vide mo mentum for future red evelopment along the c o rrid o r.
N ext S tep s
T he develo per will take inp ut from the C ity C ounc il and incorporate it into their final ap p licatio n. T hey als o
have a concep t review s c heduled with the P lanning C o mmis s io n fo r their July 11th meeting.
T he develo per intends to s ubmit for the Augus t P lanning C ommission meeting, whic h would plac e them on the
C o uncil's agenda fo r the end o f August and early S ep tember. T he projec t will require a P UD and P reliminary
and F inal P lat, as well as a P urchas e Agreement with the E DA in ad d ition to the pub lic s ubsidy review.

6101 Brooklyn Blvd Apartments
Overview-
We are proposing a 4 story, 113-unit market rate apartment with underground parking. Because this is
contemplated to utilize the existing Housing TIF District in this area, there will a certain number of units
set aside at a lower designated rental rate.
The building amenities include a fitness center, community center, in-unit washer and dryer, pet-
friendly, balconies and a state-of-the-art mail center. The site is located on the corner of Brooklyn Blvd
and 61 st Ave. Wangstead Park is located directly adjacent to the property and will be a wonderful added
amenity for the residents.
We are contemplating adding a community art installation on the very prominent corner of Brooklyn
Blvd and 61 st Ave to highlight the site and provide a source of pride to residents traveling past and living
in this part of Brooklyn Center.
Rents-
The monthly rents we are looking to achieve are as follows.
Studios: $950-$1100
1 Bedroom: $1,125 -$1,299
2 Bedrooms: $1,659-$1,771
Developers-
We are 3 rd party developers working for an ownership group. The owners will utilize a very experienced
and reputable 3 rd party management group. The owners have a long-term hold mentality for their
investments.
Design-
Ultimately, we want to fit into what the City of Brooklyn Center wants for this site and location. We feel,
based on several previous discussions with staff and other stakeholders we are homing in on the
appropriate size and look of the building.
Why we like the sites-
We like this site for multiple reasons. The first reason is that we feel that there already is a strong
market and demand for market rate housing in this area. We also like the fact that it is on Brooklyn Blvd
so it should make it easy for our residents to easily get to a major road to travel to and from work. We
like that this site already had council support for multi-unit housing and is in a current TIF district. Having
the location next to Wangstead Park is also beneficial for tenancy.
Benefits to City-
There is a need for newer stock market rate housing in this specific location. This project is a higher than
normal use for a location that has been sitting vacant for some time. Taxes will be generated as revenue
for the City long term. As has been previously stated, there will be a certain number of units set aside for
designated tenants who qualify for lower income housing. Also, the City will receive full market value for
the vacant land.
Parking-
Per our site plan we currently will have 73 surface parking stalls and 61 underground stalls. Our current
breakdown of units are 50 studios, 44 one bedrooms, 19 two bedrooms. This then totals to 113 units.
Our total stalls number is 134 which is equivalent to more than 1 stall per bedroom in these apartments.
Color Site Plan-
Sent separately.

agencies within Hennep in C o unty are attempting to deploy variations of a c o-res pond er model and there is no
clarity s urround ing this is s ue. T his p res entatio n with informatio n p ro vided is an attemp t to p ro vide clarity and
als o exp lain ho w various models fo r an enhanc ed polic e respons e to mental health related emergenc y calls for

If this is to be p urs ued additio nal s taff expens es would be nec es s ary to p roperly implement the respons e p lan.
T he optio n that requires on-s cene respons e would require additio nal s worn s taff as well as contrac ting with
