Item No: 6A Meeting Date: June 28, 2021 Type of Business: EDA Administrator review: _______ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: EDA President and Commissioners From: Brian Beeman, Assistant City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Soderman Property Discussion Background Recently, staff was approached by Dustin Soderman to see if the EDA is interested in purchasing their property located at 2510 Ardan Avenue. The property is .89 acres and sits adjacent to the City owned property at 8283 Long Lake Rd. The subject property currently has a small home that has been vandalized and is not inhabitable. Public Works has shown some interest in the past to take ownership because the house is not currently on city services. The closest services to connect is in Longlake Road which would be costly. There was also the idea to set the property aside for future expansion of Ardan Park and/or the compost site. In addition, the city has past development plans that shows a larger development south of Ardan Park. Discussion The EDA to discuss the interest level of purchasing the property. Staff is just determining if the EDA is interested in the property or not at this point. Recommendation Should the EDA decide to continue to pursue the property, staff recommends that the item be placed on the July 6 Council Worksession for further discussion where more details about the property, including price, and other pertinent information can be discussed. If the EDA decides not to continue pursuing the property then staff will notify Mr. Soderman so that he can list the property on the market.
