This site was surveyed and identified by you earlier this spring. I understand that this particular wetland is not, compared to other wetlands in the area and Watershed, a very high quality and has deteriorated in recent and past years. The original need for this possible mitigation was identified by the parking lot requirements for the Community Center. The lot was reduced by nearly one half to get permit approval from the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). The need to expand the parking lot to the original size and design has resurfaced and is now more evident due to the realignment of Edgewood Drive. A fifteen screen theater complex is being constructed adjacent from City Hall south of TH 10. Edgewood Drive is going to be realigned to intersect with TH 10 at approximately 90 degrees and continue through to County Road H2. The design of this realignment will eliminate approximately one half of the City Hall parking lot. Expanding the City Hall parking lot to the original size will not take place in this project. It is the City's intention to utilize the parking lot at the Community Center for overflow parking during special events and City Council meetings. At the June 22, 1998 the Mounds View City Council voted to initiate an option on the Midland Videen property which is directly to the south of the Community Center. It is the City's intent to seek a development project for the entire site which would include the two buildable lots on Edgewood Drive and a new parcel created by the realigned Edgewood Drive. This combined site would be approximately 3 acres. Ideally the City will pursue mitigating the wetland on the Community Center site to the Midland Videen property should a development project be approved. This opportunity could take approximately six months. The need to continue PRINTED WITH SOYINK miff • construction on a timely schedule for the Community Center is vital to the success of the building and City. As mentioned earlier,if the City can produce a development opportunity on the combined parcels of the Midland Videen property and new parcel, wetland mitigation and enhancement would ideally be pursued on this site. Due to the timeliness of this issue and the construction and opening of the Community Center,the City would like to pursue additional options. In speaking with Kate Drewery of the Rice Creek Watershed District, she mentioned a wetland bank in Columbus Township that might be an option. Mounds View would like to pursue the possibility of proceeding with wetland mitigation to this site, should future mitigation on the Midland Videen site be unavailable. Again in speaking with Kate, it could be possible to proceed with the filling of this wetland if the City would issue a bond or cash surety for the value of the wetland credits we would be required to purchase at the Columbus Township wetland bank. Please research this proposition with the Watershed district, and other agencies that would be involved in this project. The next RCWD review meeting is scheduled for July 21, 1998. It is imperative that this information and proposal is before the board at this meeting. Feel free to copy this letter with your application information if needed. If you require any additional information or assistance,please feel free to call me. Your timely proceedings in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Staff, (Mary Saarion and myself) have been presented with Sherry's recommendations at an earlier date and concur with her selections. Staff is also in agreement with the quality of the furnishings she is recommending. Staff has reviewed the purchases, which include basketball and volleyball standards, bleachers,. phone systems, office furniture and interior furnishings, that the City must provide within the building. It appears that there will be sufficient funds within the entire project budget to accommodate these purchases.

Item No. 17 Staff Report No. Meeting Date: 7/6/98 Type of Business: WK WK: Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; CA:Consent Agenda;EDAB:EDA Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mayor and City Council Members From: Rick Jopke, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Discussion of the Mermaid Hotel/Banquet Facility Project Date of Report: July 2, 1998 BACKGROUND: City staff has previously discussed with the City Council the proposed Mermaid hotel/banquet facility project and the developers request for tax increment assistance. The preliminary numbers provided by the developer show a need for$700,000 of TIF assistance for the banquet facility and an additional $1,000,000 for the hotel. Project costs show a total of $800,000 for land acquisition. This may be low based on the amount of land to be acquired. The hotel developer has indicated that TIF assistance for the hotel must be structured to be of"direct benefit"to the hotel development and financial program. To use the TIF funds to acquire land only is not considered to be of"direct benefit." Some TIF assistance will be needed for financing eligible building and development costs. The developer has indicated that if the City were to acquire the RentAll site and provide it to them at no cost,they could cover the remaining acquisition costs as part of the $1,700,000 TIF assistance as long as they don't exceed$800,000. An appraisal has been completed for the RentAll property which indicates that the market value of the property is $520,000. An additional appraisal is being completed for this property as well as the additional two properties to better determine total land acquisition costs. The appraiser has indicated that he will give staff market values for these properties on Monday July 6. Staff will provide these numbers to the City Council at the work session. The appraiser has indicated that the owner of the most westerly property to be acquired would not let him inspect the property and stated that he is not interested in selling the property. Everest has also stated that they are not interested in discussing the sale of the property that they own which have to be acquired for the Mermaid project. If these property owners continue to be uncooperative it may be necessary for the City/EDA to use it's eminent domain powers to acquire the properties. This could delay the project and add to project costs. Staff has requested that the city attorney provide a summary of the eminent domain process and time frames. City staff has asked the developer to review the concept plan to determine if the project could be redesigned to reduce the amount of land needed or if the project could be built in phases. Preliminary indications are that minor changes could be made and some phasing could be done City of Mounds View Staff Report July 2, 1998 Page 2 but that there would not be a substantial reduction in land needed. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS City staff and financial consultant have been reviewing the financial side of the project. The following are some of the key conclusions of that analysis: • The developer has requested a total of$1,700,000 of up front TIF assistance. Any land acquisition costs over and above $800,000 would be added to the $1,700,000. • There are not$1,700,000 of available funds in the TIF pool. Bonds would have to be sold or the city would have to borrow against other city funds to raise the amount necessary. • The tax increment districts will expire in 2015. • The project as proposed(not including the second phase of the hotel) would generate approximately $218,500 of annual tax increment. • $218,500 would support a taxable revenue bond sale of approximately $1,900,000 which would provide net proceeds to the developer of$1,525,000. A delay in project completion would reduce the number years of increment available which in turn reduces the amount of the bond sale and the proceeds available to the developer unless the developer makes a payment in lieu of taxes. • Using similar assumptions, a bond issue of$2,120,000 would be required to provide net proceeds to the developer of$1,700,000. Annual tax increment of$245,000 would be necessary to support a bond sale of$2,120,000. • Depending on the use of the bond sale proceeds,the city could issue a combination of taxable and tax exempt bonds to obtain a better interest rate. This would increase the amount of bonds that the projected annual increment could support. • According to the latest TIF cash flows completed by the city finance department,there are between$235,000 and $920,000 a year available for projects such as Highway 10 redevelopment, business improvement loans, and housing programs. Administrative costs must also be paid from these funds. $50,000 to $500,000 a year have been allocated for Highway 10 redevelopment projects. These funds could be used to assist this project. REQUESTED ACTION At the work session on Monday, staff will present the details of a scenario to make this project work. The scenario will include the issuance of a combination of taxable and tax exempt bonds, and allocating Highway 10 redevelopment funds to the project. Staff will be looking for specific direction from the City Council concerning the project and the proposed financing scenario.

The housing would change from a market rate apartment to a cooperative. One of the questions that was raised during the discussion of this change was what the financial impact would be. City staff asked Jim Casserly, the city's financial consultant for this project to review that question. Attached is a report from Mr. Casserly showing that the proposed cooperative housing project would produce less than half of the increment that the original rental housing project would have produced. As you may recall,the original TIF request approved by the City treated each component of the project separately. Separate development assistance agreements were drafted for the office and housing components. These agreements have not been finalized or signed. Staff will continue to negotiate these agreements including a reduction in the amount of assistance provided to the housing portion of the project.

Casserly, Esq. Greg D. Johnson, CPA Date: July 1, 1998 Re: Silverview Estate/Senior Housing Our File No. 9806-1 We have been informed that a portion of the Silverview Estates project that was to be used for a senior rental housing project will now be used for a senior co-op housing project. The REALIFE Cooperative will be the developer of the senior co-op housing project and will purchase the property from Silverview Estates. The development of a co-op project significantly reduces the amount of tax increment that can be generated. Attached are Schedules A and B which contain assumptions and a cash flow and present value analysis for the rental housing project and co-op housing project respectively. The differences between the two projects are described below: Rental Co-op (Schedule A) (Schedule B) No. of Units 82 77 Class Rate 2.5% 1.0% Market Value/Unit $ 52,500 $ 65,000 Total Market Value $ 4,305,000 $ 5,005,000 Taxes/Unit $ 1,705 $ $44 Total Taxes $ 139,781 $ 65,004 Total Available Tax Increment $ 1,710,842 $ 789,157 P.V. at 7.5% $ 904,618 $ 417,272 SUITE 1100 SOUTHPOINT OFFICE CENTER•1650 WEST 82ND STREET•BLOOMINGTON,MINNESOTA 55431-1447 TELEPHONE 612/885-5999•FACSIMILE 612/885-5969 07/01/98 WED 15:24 FAX 612 885 5969 KRASS MONROE fj003 A senior rental project generally requires a significant amount of tax increment assistance because the tax rates for rental property have been substantially higher than owner occupied housing. The principal behind a co-op is that each unit of the co-op is treated as an owner occupied housing unit and receives the same tax classification (1%) as homesteaded housing. As a result, the need for tax increment assistance with a co-op project is substantially reduced. As the chart above shows, the taxes per unit for the co-op housing ($844) are less than half the taxes per unit for the rental project($1,705). As a result, the City should review the amount of tax increment assistance that is necessary to facilitate the development of the co-op housing project. It would be appropriate to review these issues with Silverview Estates to again determine what assistance is necessary to effectuate this revised development. We look forward to hearing from you.

Date of Report: July 2, 1998 Background: Staff has drafted proposed Ordinance No. 620 to address some of the inconsistencies and confusion in the City Code regarding driveways, parking areas and accessory buildings (i.e., garages and sheds.) The Council has in the past indicated that in terms of garages, there should be some element of proportionality. That is, the size of the garage should be proportionate to the size of the house and to a lesser extent, to the size of the lot. This ordinance puts in place proportional guidelines and permits larger garages based on those guidelines. The ordinance also addresses driveway surfaces, requiring permanent improved surfaces such as concrete, asphalt or brick for all new construction, but does not require improved driveways where currently there is not unless a permit is pulled for a new garage or garage expansion. Discussion: The pertinent changes of this ordinance and have been highlighted below. It is hoped that if there are any problems with these changes or if further changes are desired that this information be made known at the worksession prior to the first reading and public hearing. The proposed ordinance, in its entirety, is attached for your review. If the Council desires, a clean copy of what the Code would look like (less the underlines and deletions) can be made available for review. Changes: 1. All new and reconstructed driveways, from this point in time forward, shall be improved with a permanent surface, defined as concrete, asphalt or brick. Existing unimproved driveways may remain as such, but cannot be expanded without making the necessary improvements. 2. Construction standards have been added for brick driveways. City of Mounds View Staff Report July 2, 1998 Page 2 3. No permit shall be issued for the construction of a residential dwelling, garage, or garage expansion unless the driveway servicing the dwelling/garage is improved with a permanent surface. 4. The square footage (area) of a garage shall not exceed the foundation area of the house, except by CUP. This will finally provide a rational basis for the size of the garage relative to the size of the home. 5. The combined square-footage for accessory buildings in a rear yard would be reduced from 25% to 20% of the rear yard area. Twenty-five percent coverage of a rear yard--in my opinion--is too much 6. The maximum garage area without a CUP has been increased from 864 to 952 square feet. Most garage additions that would have fallen between 864 and 952 square feet have been approved with a rubber-stamp after a curt review. With the approval contingent upon items 4 and 5 above, the size of the garage would still be dictated by the size of the lot and the house. The increase may seem large, but put in perspective, the result would be represented by adding less than three feet to the back of a 32-foot wide garage. 7. The combined square footage for all accessory buildings on one lot shall not exceed 1,400 square feet. This is increased 136 square feet from 1,264 square feet. Again, the maximum can only be achieved on a lot that can support such coverage. 8. Currently, if a garage exceeds 1,000 square feet, no other accessory building (shed) is allowed. This requirement has been eliminated. Given the number of large lots in Mounds View, not being able to have a shed is a hardship. Again, items 4 and 5 would prevent over-coverage of accessory buildings on one lot. 9. Currently, the Code does not allow for garages with more than three stalls. Beginning in the R-3 district, language is added such that garages with more than three accesses are allowed but limited to the number of dwelling units present on the property. For example, a four-plex owner on an R-3 lot may construct a four car garage. 10. Because the space requirements of vehicles have decreased over the years, the parking lot stall dimensions will be reduced to 9 x 18 from 9 x 20. Many cities use the smaller sized- space and find it completely adequate. Mounds View has allowed the 9 x 18 spacing on the theater site, Silverview Estates, and most recently, on the Mermaid site. 11. The Code currently allows for gravel driveways with new, single-family and two-family home construction. This allowance has been eliminated. 12. All references to temporary surfacing will be removed to eliminate the confusion over the intent of the language (i.e., temporary in the temporal sense or in the physical sense?) 13. In the R-1 and R-2 districts, a gravel parking surface may be installed not to exceed 300 square feet, or, if to be used as a parking surface for an RV, the minimum area that would encompass the wheelbase of one RV. 14. Proof of parking--the setting aside of required parking spaces as green space until needed sometime in the future--currently requires a CUP. However, there are built-in conditions in the Code that must be met to allow for the Proof of Parking. If the requirements are met, why require a CUP? 15. Distinction between temporary and permanent surfaces eliminated regarding setback of driveway and parking area. Now all surfaces (gravel, asphalt, concrete or brick) are allowed within one foot (1') of property line, with permission of neighboring property owner. Recommendation: Review the attached ordinance and provide staff with any comments and or suggestions before first reading and public hearing.
