7 DECEMBER 13 1988 H.R.A. MINUTES LAID OVER TO NEXT MEETING
8 CLAIMS
Ii' Mr. Childs indicated the two claims which had been distributed to the
H.R.A. members that evening represented the lump sum relocation claim
for St. Anthony Meats, which would be moving by December 31st from 2529
12 Harding Street in the shopping center to be redeveloped for apartments
13 to Johnson's Meats, 2654 Kenzie Terrace, and the latest billing from the
14 relocation consultants. The Executive Director indicated only two
15 relocation claims remained to be settled before the redevelopers start
16 to demolish the shopping center structures for the construction of the
17 Kenzington Apartments of St. Anthony. The first would pay for the
18 remaining cost of the Harley Davidson business relocation and the
19 second would be for Slick's Alternative for which the owners have
20 applied for a conditional use permit to relocate next to the Salvation
21 Army store in Apache. Mr. Childs said the latter had signed a document
22 indicating they would vacate the premises at 2533 Harding Street by
23 January 7, 1989.

to Federal -State
services through
seconded by Makowske to approve payment of $3,136.25
Relocation Consulting Service, Inc. for consulting
December 19, 1988, related to the relocation of
businesses in the St. Anthony Village Shopping Center for the Kenzie
Terrace Redevelopment Project.
Motion carried unanimously.
4 Redevelopers Refusal to Take Possession of Project Property Before
5 Vacated Delays Closing Until January 10th
6 Mr. Childs reported Lang/Nelson was refusing to take title to property
7 with tenants still present in the buildings unless the City totally
8 indemnified them against any expense incurred should the tenants not be
9 out when title is transferred. He said the H.R.A. Attorney would not
10 recommend a total indemnification and had been concerned that if, for
11 example, the City had to wait 10 days for an Unlawful Detainer to go
12 into effect and there should be a cold snap which prevented the
13 redevelopers from proceeding with demolishing the property, the
14 developer may claim losses because they have fallen behind in the
15 construction schedule. Such litigation could be very hard to defend
16 against. The Executive Director said by delaying the closing to the
17 tenth of January, three days after the Alternative is vacated, the City
18 would be protecting itself.
19 The Executive Director reported the owners of the adjacent shopping
20 center had signed off on the additional parcel near the Town and Country
21 Store which was needed for the apartment project and all other issues
22 except the premise vacancy seemed to have been resolved.
There was a brief discussion of the necessity for restriction of traffic
24 through the project area during construction as well as explanatory
25 signage to that effect.
