E. Lyle H. Nagell Company
Payment in the amount of $700.00 was approved to the Lyle H.
Nagell Company for its appraisal of the property at 2817 Pahl
Avenue Northeast.
The Executive Director reviewed what this amendment would do
for the redevelopment which is planned for these two lots.
Ruth Nelson, 3916 Macalaster Drive, felt a townhouse
development would be preferable for this area rather than the
proposed dental office building. She was of the opinion that
a residential nature should be maintained on the parcels.
The City Manager noted that the area had been zoned
commercially for a very long time. He also suggested that the
owner of the parcels would not agree to downzoning to
accommodate a residential development. Downzoning would drop
the value of the parcels. Commissioner Enrooth felt a one
story building such as the one which is being proposed would
serve as a good transition from the commercial development
across the street.
Mrs. Nelson also suggested that there should be an extension

6 of the sidewalk from the townhouse development. The sidewalk
7 is interrupted at the location of the proposed building and
8 the adjacent vacant lot.
9
10 The Executive Director advised that the City's Road Task Force
11 is currently looking for locations for sidewalk. Members of
12 the Task Force have recommended that sidewalks be located on
13 busy thoroughfares. The Executive Director noted that there is
14 seldom dense traffic in the area Mrs. Nelson mentioned. The
15 traffic increases only at two times during the day and has
16 less than 600 cars each day.

25
0 The H.R.A. Meeting was reconvened at 8:35 p.m.
28 The H.R.A. Attorney advised that the agreement includes
29 demolition of an existing building and gives the buyers the
30 option to purchase an additional adjacent lot.

10 Commissioner Fleming stated she has reviewed the minutes of
11 the Task Force meeting and the Planning Commission meeting and
12 did not find any specific actions regarding acceptance of Plan
13 D for the redevelopment of the south end.
14
15 Executive Director Burt advised Concept D was selected from
16 recommendations.
17
18 Commissioner Fleming suggested that the owner of the Unocal
19 service station, Roger Bona, be requested to come to a Council
20 meeting to present his plans for his station and property.
21 Other members of the H.R.A. agreed this would be appropriate.
22
23 The Executive Director advised he and the H.R.A. Attorney had
24 met with Mr. Bona and his lawyer to discuss Mr. Bona's
25 concerns regarding this redevelopment. He noted that Plan D
0-1
did not leave his business access to 27th Avenue. The Plan
also recommended giving Mr. Bona an additional 6,000 square
28
feet to maintain a buffer between his business and the nearby
29
residences. The H.R.A. Attorney noted he had advised Mr. Bona
30
he must meet all of the requirements of the area or this
31
additional property will not be given to him.
32
33
Mr. Bona had been advised to submit a plan. To date, the
34
Executive Director has not heard from him or anything about
35
his plan. It was also noted that the service station operates
36
with a conditional use permit. This affords the Planning
37
Commission the opportunity to place some requirements on it if
38
desired.
39
40
Commissioner Fleming questioned if there would still be access
41
to the back of the service station and the adjacent building
42
owned by Mr. Bona with no access to 27th Avenue. Staff felt
43
there would still be access.
44
45
Motion by Enrooth, second by Wagner to approve H.R.A.

Resolution No. 1993-001 being a resolution authorizing the
47
Chair and Executive Director to sign purchase agreements on
48
behalf of the St. Anthony Housing and Redevelopment Authority.

7 ROAD
8
9 The Executive Director advised that Requests for Proposals
10 were sent out and two offers were received. One was rejected
11 as it was for $5000.00.
12
13 A $20,000 offer was made by Advance Design. Attached to the
14 offer was a letter stating how the offer price was determined.
15 The letter also stated a price of $7,000 should be allowed for
16 clean up of the lot. Some members of the H.R.A. felt this
17 figure was much too high.
18
19 Staff prepared a map which showed the value of lots in the
20 immediate area of this one and are similar in size and
21 character.
22
23 It was agreed that the lot should be sold for not less than
24 $25,000 and the buyer would be responsible for the lot clean
25 up and the associated costs.
0 Advance Design has indicated it is not willing to pay this
28 price. The Executive Director noted that there is always the
29 option to place a "For Sale" sign on the parcel.
30
31 Motion by Enrooth, second by Marks to accept no offer less
32 than $25,000 for the lot at 3112 Silver Lake Road and the
33 buyer would be responsible for clean up of the lot.
34
35 Motion carried unanimously
36
37 The Executive Director noted that plans for this parcel must
38 come before the City Council for its approval. The Council
39 would still have an opportunity to put any restrictions on
40 this plan it desires.
