Consideration of EDA Resolution 07-EDA-237 Approving a Pre- 56 Development Agreement With Master Development Relating to the Premium 57 Stop Property 58 59 Interim Executive Director Ericson provided a review of the Pre-Development Agreement with 60 Master Development for the Premium Stop location. This Agreement would provide Master 61 Development with exclusive development rights for this property. Mr. Tobin has been in 62 discussions with the property owners for the Roberts site and there is a possibility that Master 63 Development could be dealing with the future property owner for that site. There have also been 64 discussion with the Sushi Bar and that owner is willing to consider working with the City and 65 Master Development on redevelopment of the site. 66 67 Interim Executive Director Ericson explained that if the Roberts site is not acquired there is a 68 concern that the agreement may not be fulfilled. The City Attorney has recommended no 69 changes to the Agreement and noted that the intent was not to obligate Master Development and 70 require them to acquire the other two properties but recommend that the City would like to have 71 those properties involved in the redevelopment of the Premium Stop site. 72 73 Commissioner Mueller asked whether it would be prudent for the City to seek further interest in 74 the project and submit requests for other developers since this was the only proposal received. 75 76 Interim Executive Director Ericson explained that Staff feels confident in the abilities of Master 77 Development and feels that their proposal would stand on its own merits. He then recommended 78 moving forward with the agreement noting that the duration of the contract was just six months. 79 80 Commissioner Flaherty indicated that he would like to move forward this as it is time to get this 81 site redeveloped. 82 83 Commissioner Hull asked for clarification on Items A and B. 84 85 Interim Executive Director Ericson read Items A and B and provided an explanation. 86 87 Mounds View EDA November 13, 2007 Regular Meeting Page 3 Vice President Stigney said that in one of the whereas clauses, item iii, intent to acquire 88 neighboring property identified as Roberts Sports Bar, his question would be that it seems to be 89 contingent upon proceeding with Roberts but the RFQ was for perhaps Roberts but the shorter 90 term was Concept B which did not include Roberts. 91 92 Mr. Tobin explained that the expectation is that they responded to the RFQ and would like to put 93 together an RFQ for the Premium Stop site but would like to include the other site, if possible. 94 95 Interim Executive Director Ericson said that he feels that the interaction between the City and 96 Master Development is that they are proceeding with or without the Roberts site so he feels 97 comfortable with the language as written. 98 99 Vice President Stigney asked that the Resolution be amended to be consistent with the title of the 100 101 Commissioner Mueller indicated that she would like to see the multiple housing owned and not 102 rental. 103 104 Interim Executive Director Ericson asked how the Authority would feel if the apartments were 105 for senior rentals. 106 107 Mr. Tobin indicated that financing is easier to obtain for rental building in today’s real estate 108 market. 109 110 MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Mueller. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution EDA-111 237 Approving a Pre-Development Agreement With Master Development Relating to the 112 Premium Stop Property. 113 114 Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 115 116 Vice President Stigney indicated that there is concern about rental properties and asked the 117 developer to work with the City on the redevelopment plans. 118 119 8.
