Item No: 08F MOUNDMeetingS VIEW Date: November 24, 2025 Type of Business: Council Business 11 City Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Brian Beeman, Assistant City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Consideration of a Fee Reduction on the Senior Suite Living Development at 7687 Long Lake Road Introduction: Hampton Companies, LLC is proposing to construct a 32-unit senior care facility at 7687 Long Lake Road. This is the Free Life Family Worship Center lot. Hampton Companies will be seeking a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and lot split via the Mounds View Planning & Zoning Commission. This will be a one level building. Mounds View doesn't currently have a facility like this thus adding to the business diversity goal outlined in the 2026-28 Mounds View Strategic Plan. Discussion: Since this facility is for end -of -life residents, the residents do not drive and will not be utilizing any of the City parks. Therefore, Hampton Companies, LLC is requesting a reduction in the park dedication fees. They have informed staff that most of the cities they have worked with have lowered the park dedication fees. Our current fee schedule charges $3,500 per/unit for park dedication fees. Hampton Companies, LLC is requesting $1,000 per/unit which comes to $32,000 instead of the initial $112,000. They are also requesting if the City can wait on collecting the park dedication fee until the project is actually approved. The developer is not asking for any other public subsidies in the form of a TIF, Tax Abatement, etc. Other options to consider are reducing or deferring the SAC and WAC charges and/or building permit fees. Currently, the estimated SAC fees are $27,335 & WAC fees are $500 per water hook-up depending on how it is calculated. The commercial building permit fees are expected to be approximately $42,153.47 based on a $5,000,000 estimated construction costs value. However, those permit applications have not yet been submitted so this is only an estimate. The Planning & Zoning Commission will review the Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment and lot split for the development in January. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: A progressive city that is welcoming and desirable destination to all ages and cultures, who seek progress through partnership, and a place where residents can live, work and play safely and show pride in the community. Financial Impact: None Recommendation: Review and provide direction regarding: 1) Willingness to reduce, amend, and/or defer the development project fee(s). 2) The amount of the reduction and/or payment deferment.
