A#AAMCON • Design • Construction •Construction Management • December 12, 2002 Mayor Randy Hodson • City of St. Anthony Village 3301 Silver Lake Road • St. Anthony, MN 55418 • Re: Stonehouse Development—Proposed Kenzie Terrace Plaza Dear Mayor Hodson: I am pleased to submit the enclosed proposal for the redevelopment of the Municipal Stonehouse property. Enclosed please find information regarding Amcon Construction Company and our vision for the property to be developed.The project presents some challenges given the Village's needs regarding the fire station and municipal liquor store. This situation means that as with virtually all redevelopment projects there will have to be a great deal of coordination between the public and private entity's. Therefore, we are requesting the exclusive development rights to the property to enable Amcon and the Village to prepare and approve the appropriate plans for the redevelopment of the site, beginning with the development of the new fire station. • 1. For more than 25 years, Amcon Construction has provided start-to-finish design and construction for the commercial, industrial,and housing sectors. More recently,we have • demonstrated success in the following office and retail projects, including Mankato Heights Plaza, Valley Creek in Golden Valley, Sunfish Commons in Ramsey and • Wayzata Executive Park. We have also recently acquired for rehabilitation a low and moderate-income high rise in Brooklyn Center, MN; adding diversity and a commitment to affordable housing to our redevelopment portfolio. 2. Amcon's team of experienced architects, engineers, and project managers are prepared to serve the Village of St. Anthony. Our commitment to project integration sets us apart, which means that St. Anthony Village would have one contact point throughout the project. We start with careful planning and engage the community, which is consistent to what I have seen the City accomplish with the Apache Plaza redevelopment project. We can find similarities between our experiences on other projects,but anticipate St. Anthony Village wanting its own identity and features. While similar site conditions exist elsewhere,the ultimate project is going to be determined by the market, budgets, and public support. We look forward to working together on the Stonehouse redevelopment project. Sincerely, Amcon Construction Company, C ames F. Winkels artner 200 W.
