5 The above document in connection with the completion of the Kenzington
6 had been reviewed by Mr. Soth, who had advised that if the H.R.A. was
7 satisfied that Phase I was completed, it could be executed by the
8 Chairman and Secretary.
9 Commissioner Makowske said she knew there was a handicapped person who
10 lived in one of the Kenzington condominiums who had indicated the need
11 for a handicapped access from the rear of the building as well as the
12 front entrance. Mr. Childs said he didn't know what leverage the
13 H.R.A. had because that access was probably not required by the
14 Building Codes. The Executive Director reported this item had been
15 discussed about ten months ago but would be glad to check it again if
16 the H.R.A. wanted him to do so.
17 H.R.A. Action
18 Motion by Marks, seconded by Ranallo to table action on the Certificate
19 of Completion for the Kenzington for further research by staff on
20 whether the project meets all handicapped access codes.
01 Motion carried unanimously.
22 H.R.A. to
23 Project.
24 The above document had been submitted by the H.R.A. Attorney for
25 execution if the City wanted the market value estimated for assessment
26 recorded.
27 H.R.A. Action
28 Motion by Marks, seconded by Ranallo to authorize the execution of the
29 $6,300,000 St. Anthony Nursing Home Revenue Bonds Assessment Agreement,
30 which had been submitted by the H.R.A. Attorney and included in the
31 July 28, 1987 H.R.A. agenda packet.
32 Motion carried unanimously.
33 Process for Selecting New Redeveloper for Phase III of Kenzie Terrace
34 Redevelopment Proiect Aareed to by H.R.A.
35 Mr. Krier reported he had encouraged four "quality redevelopers" to -
36 submit proposals for developing an acceptable housing project for the
37 final phase of the Project. Included were Lang/Nelson, who were
38 expected to come in with a proposal to develop 100 units of family and
t9 100 units of elderly housing which would be phased over a period of
0 time; Walker/Stuart for -.a mixture of eldeily,'market rate, -and
1 -3-
• 2 commercial; the P. J. Gaughan Corporation for a 50/50 combination of
3 elderly and general occupancy; and finally, the Sherman Boosallis
4 Corporation, who have indicated they had some real problems with
5 providing elderly housing, but who Mr. Krier expected to submit a
6 proposal nevertheless.
7 The consultant indicated that in his opinion, each of the prospective
8 developers had a very good track record in doing the type of project
9 St. Anthony wanted and all seemed to have the financial capability to
10 put such a project together. He said the schedule he was requesting
11 should result in everything being in place and ready to go in a month
12 and a half. Mr. Krier indicated he had requested each of the
13 developers have his proposal in his hands by August 10th to be
14 presented to the H.R.A. for acceptance at their August 11th meeting.
15 It was agreed that no formal presentations would be made at the August
16 llth meeting but it would rather be during a work session scheduled for
17 6:00 P.M., August 20th, when the proposals would be ranked by the
18 H.R.A. in order of preference. The developers who were not selected at
19 that work session would be advised that the City intended to work with
20 the first ranked company for a month and if all the H.R.A. requirements
21 had not been met and a Redeveloper Agreement not signed by the end of
22 the month, the other developers would be contacted in order of their
23 ranking to resubmit their proposals.
04 Mr. Soth suggested Mr. Krier advise the developers that they should
25 present the best proposal they could right at the outset because that
26 might well be the last opportunity they would be given to do the
27 project.
28 Mr. Krier reported his negotiations with the Minneapolis Community
29 Development Association related to that organization providing
30 financing for a low income large family townhouse rental project had
31 been delayed because of a death in the family of one of the MCDA staff
32 persons, but he was confident those talks would be resumed the
33 following day.
34 Mr. Krier said one of the criteria he told each prospective developer
35 would have to be addressed to do the project was that they would have
36 to work with St. Anthony to make a presentation of the project to the
37 adjacent St. Anthony residents as well as the nearby Minneapolis
38 residents.
39 Commissioner Ranallo said he thought it was essential to have Mr.
40 Childs be very involved in that presentation because of the spirit of
41 distrust which had evolved around the failure of the first developer to
42 provide a satisfactory project.
43 Other criteria which Mr. Krier perceived had to be met by the developer
44 the H.R.A. selected included:
4045 *financial capability to do the project;
• 1 -4-
2 *expertise in doing a similar redevelopment project(s) and proof
3 of ability to work with the communities where those projects are
4 located;
5 *site plan to include architectural style and building elevations
6 which would fit into the neighborhood;
7 *major amount of brick on the building exteriors and 100% sprink-
8 ling of the structures;
9 *landscaping which would include the existing buffer of the site
10 with perhaps money put in escrow for replacement when whatever
11 greenery is there now, dies.
12 There was general recognition that all studies had indicted there was
13 just not a market for an all -elderly project and that general occupancy
14 would probably have to be included. There was also acknowledgement
15 that there was little the City could do to prevent the Kenzington
16 owners from renting the unsold condominiums in accordance with the
17 purchase agreements they had with the current unit owners.
18 The H.R.A. concurred that the decisions related to individual
19 interviews would not be made until after the H.R.A. had reviewed the
20 initial proposals, August 11th.
