The property is located just north of County Road H on the east side of Pleasant View Drive(see location map Exhibit B). The proposed property is currently occupied by the owner. Staff has completed an inspection of the proposed property to verify the eligibility as outlined in the Housing Replacement Program (HRP) policy. Item G of the HRP policy states: G. Property Eligibility Criteria Program Staff shall evaluate each property for which an application is received to determine its eligibility for the Program based on the criteria in this section. Program Staff shall prepare property fact sheets for each property for which owners have expressed an interest in participating in the Program, and shall make a drive by inspection. Properties will be evaluated based on the following criteria outlined below. To be eligible for participation, the house on the property must have one of the characteristics noted in 1, 2, 3 or 4 below. *1. Substandard as to condition,property value, size or usage. *2. Obsolete and having a faulty design for block and area in which it is located. *3. Deterioration which has caused blight to other adjoining properties. 4. Detrimental to the safety or health of abutting properties in the block. If it is determined that the property is eligible for participation based on the condition of the house, it must also meet the following criteria as outlined in 5-8 below. *5. A geographic mix of properties is achieved. *6. The site can be developed with a single family home within city code requirements, including zoning and conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The property may be considered if a variance can be obtained(see Section I, Item 2.). *7. The property must be owner-occupied or vacant before the owner makes application to the Program. Non-homesteaded vacant property will be considered for acquisition. Tenant-occupied properties will be considered by the EDA on a case-by-case basis. 8. Prior to approval by the EDA for participation in the Program,properties over EDA Memo - Housing Replacement Program April 8, 1998 Page 2 50 years old must be evaluated for historical significance. This will be accomplished by forwarding general property information and a property photo to the Minnesota Historical Society for review. The EDA will not enter into a purchase agreement or award funding for demolition on a property which qualifies for the National Registry of Historical Structures. Staff has determined that the subject property meets the characteristics as noted in items 1,2, and 3. Because the property meets at least 1 of the 4 outlined criteria, it must also meet item numbers 5-8 of the policy to be considered for purchase by the EDA. As noted,the proposed property meets the criteria in item numbers 5, 6 and 7. The city has not yet proceeded with the requirements of item number 8 which requires a historical significance evaluation. This will be completed if the EDA requests staff to proceed with acquiring the property. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED Approve EDA Resolution No. 98-EDA-87 to authorize appraisal of the property located at 6991 Pleasant View Drive and to negotiate a purchase price for further consideration of the EDA's purchasing of the property for the Housing Replacement Program. • , Steve Dorgan ' Housing Inspector 717-4023 Attachments: Exhibit A: Letter of request from Joe Witzman Exhibit B: Location Map- 6991 Pleasant View Drive Exhibit C: Resolution No. 98-EDA-87 NADATAIGROUPs1ECONDEV\MVHRP16991PLEAUPRIL 13.RE13 / v • ,____ 11 .c..0v m • tlVv v (-74z0 - ,.z1 - - a /14 au k (1 . ....—_ - ,�c,lo u ' --= - l Y -�.�ti- - / -C,2 L C -c- -cm -71- Pro /'®,tip, • i . 1 3>‘--ec) e., /i5 /N 5 ez -Z..-ti "A'Ac-/- e E i ace -21-- • . t XCLCP ":C.eiCLCC.1,14 'c 2/1 ..1" -.95 _i to fl.GI P14 -e..

Whiting,Executive Director Item No. 58 Meeting Date: 4-13-98 Staff Report No. • Type of Business: EDBA WK: Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; CA:Consent Agenda;EDBA:EDA Business Mounds View Economic Development Authority Stismaff Re ort To: Mounds View Economic Development Authority From: Steve Dorgan, Housing Inspector Title/Subject: Amendment to Purchase Agreement- 8265 Spring Lake Road Date of Report: April 9, 1998 SUMMARY At the City Council Workshop meeting last Monday,the EDA was provided information regarding discrepancies in the purchase agreement for the sale of 8265 Spring Lake Road to Preferred Builders. Preferred Builders is currently unable to obtain a building permit from the city until these discrepancies are clarified and recorded at Ramsey County. The discrepancies of the purchase agreement include: 1) An inaccurate legal description of the property in the purchase agreement. The EDA purchased the lot which included 103 feet of Lot 34(see Exhibit A). The legal description of the purchase agreement describes the property as the North 53 feet of Lot 34. The legal description needs to be amended to reflect the entire 103 feet of Lot 34. 2) An oversized utility and drainage easement along the north property line exists. The EDA established a 10 foot utility and drainage easement around the entire property when they owned it in August of 1997. Only a 5 foot drainage and utility easement is needed along the north property line. Because a 10 foot easement was established,the builder is unable to locate the garage of the home 5 feet from the property line as permitted by city code. This easement should be reestablished to 5 feet along the north property line of the lot. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED Approve EDA Resolution No. 98-EDA-88 amending the purchase agreement between the Mounds View EDA and Preferred Builders to correct discrepancies in the legal description and utility easements for 8265 Spring Lake Road. (The City Attorney is currently drafting the resolution,amendment and easement documents and will be available at the meeting.)

Inc Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement Revisions Dear Steve: I am writing in reference to the above-noted matter and with a suggested course of action to rectify some legal description and easement grant discrepancies. In order to resolve this matter, the following corrective measures should be taken as soon as possible: either amend the legal description to be conveyed (including a retained easement road right-of-way) or process a minor subdivision/lot split for the parceL In addition, a new document should be executed as to the utility easement which was previously attempted to be granted by the EDA to the City. Such utility easement must now be granted by Preferred Builders, Inc. to the City. Thus, in order to allow Preferred Builders, Inc. to quickly obtain a building permit for the Property. I recommend that the following amendments/acts be completed to resolve this matter: 1. Amendment of the Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement as to: a. the legal description revision for the Property: the West 218 feet of the entire 103 feet of Lot 34, rather than the North 53 feet of Lot 3d: and b. the required granting of the roadway and utility easement by Preferred Builders, Inc. as noted in Paragraph No. 2 below; and c. the required granting of the utility easement by Preferred Builders. Inc. as noted in Paragraph No. 3 below. 2. The granting of roadway and utility easement by Preferred Builders, Inc. over the y7g14107A 1417205-q 6117—d EO/ZO'd P1B-1 111FRJ7c710 April 6. 1998 Page 2 following described property: The west 218 feet of the South 50 feet of the North 103 feet of Lot 34, Auditor's Subdivision No. 89, Ramsey County, Minnesota. The granting of the roadway casement by Preferred Builders, Inc. to the City will obviate the need to process a minor subdivision/lot split for Lot 34. Auditor's Subdivision No. 89, Ramsey County, Minnesota, thus, saving substantial time in resolving this matter. 3. The granting of utility easement by Preferred Builders, Inc. described as follows: A perpetual easement for utility purposes over, under and across the North 5 feet. the South 10 feet,the East l0 feet and the West 10 feet of the following described real property: The West 218 feet of the North 53 feet of Lot 34 and the South 27 feet of the West 218 feet of Lot 35, all in Auditor's Subdivision No. 89. Ramsey County, Minnesota. Since an amendment is required to the Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement, appropriate authorization from the Economic Development Authority for such amendment is necessary (a resolution needs to be prepared granting such authorization). If such authorization is granted at the ED A's next meeting.it appears that this matter could be resolved and all documents recorded very shortly thereafter. Per our conversations concerning this matter, I will begin to draft the above noted revisions to facilitate the quick completion of this matter. The President and Executive Director of the EDA would then have to execute the amendment to the Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement and the revised deed. Once the closing documents and the above-noted amended documents are recorded, a building permit could then be issued to Preferred Builders. Inc. In the meantime. please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have regarding this matter. Thank you for your assistance. Sine- 1ppor Scott J. ' r SJR:s Enclosures cc: Mt.
