MVHRP -Proposal to Purchase 6991 Pleasant View Drive. Director Jopke gave his report as follows: At the EDA meeting on April 13, 1998, the Commission approved the appraisal and negotiation for purchase of 6991 Pleasant View Drive for participation in the Housing Replacement Program. The City acquired appraisal on the property was in the amount of$56,000. Joe Witzman, property owner, had received the Ramsey Councty assessed value of the home and property at$60,500. Mr. Witzman wishes to sell his property at a minimum of the taxed value on the property. Stigney questioned the appraisal methods and suggested that the City revise its policies and come up with a more consistent way of getting properties appraised. • Koopmeiners asked Attorney Long if Ramsey County's appraisal could be challenged. Page 2 • June 22, 1998 Economic Development Authority Attorney Long suggested that the process is a negotiated process. If the appraisal is slightly less than the asking price is you can ask yourself, "Do you want to buy it, or is it worth paying the extra money?" The appraisal process is in place to look out for the best interest of the citizen's money, he added.

At the time of the sale, the developer and the City entered into a Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement which requires Preferred Builders to complete the construction of the home by July 5, 1998, subject to Unavoidable Delays. The development agreement refers to Unavoidable Delays as: "...delays beyond the reasonable control of the party seeking to be excused as a result thereof which are the • direct result of strikes, other labor troubles, prolonged adverse weather or acts of God,fire or other casualty to the Minimum Improvements, litigation commenced by third parties which,by injunction or other similar judicial action, directly results in delays. or acts of any federal, state or local governmental unit(other than the City or Authority in exercising their rights under this Agreement)which directly result in delays..." At no fault to the developer,the City created a delay due to an error in the Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement pertaining to the vacation of easements which required corrections on behalf of the City. In addition,the developer has indicated that the number of destructive storms in recent months have set back construction schedules as well as available contractors, contributing to the delayed in efforts to complete construction of the home. At this point, the developer has received a building permit for the construction of the home and has prepared the subject site for building. The developer has also indicated that construction will begin on or before July 15, 1998,and will be completed within 90 days. RECOMMENDATION Approve EDA Resolution No. 98-EDA-94 authorizing a 90 day extension to the completion date July 5, 1998, as indicated in the Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement, for the construction of a single family home by Preferred Builders, Inc. for property located at 8265 Spring Lake Road.
