Council Memorandum No. 81 HRA Memorandum No. 45
Housing & Redevelopment
The Honorable Mayor Authority Commissioners
And City of Richfield
Members of the City Council
Subject: Development Potential of the 77th Street Tunnel Area
(Worksession Agenda Item No. 1)
Council Members and Commissioners:
An eastward extension of 77th Street from Richfield to the Minneapolis-St. Paul
International Airport (MSP), either as an overpass or a tunnel, has been contemplated
as a regional transportation improvement for over fifteen years. In addition to impacts
on the transportation system, this improvement would have the potential of attracting
reinvestment and redevelopment to the southeast corner of Richfield.
Staff has developed a map (attached) showing the parcels which would be most likely
and/or practical to redevelop as part of the 77th Street Tunnel project and is seeking
input on whether the development areas identified are consistent with City Council and
HRA members' vision for the area.
The parcels identified on the map include:
Area A: Approximately 1.49 acres and including the Motel 6 Minneapolis Airport - Mall
of America, 23-unit apartment building called Cedar Properties and three seven-unit
apartment buildings 7601, 7615, and 7625 18th Avenue. All of these parcels would
need to be taken as a result of the transportation project as it is currently
conceptualized.
Area B: Approximately 3.06 acres and includes Metro Sales Inc., which makes up
approximately 2.15 acres of the site, and a smaller parcel owned by the City of
Richfield, formerly the location of the Normark Building. All of these parcels would need
to be taken as a result of a significant grade and access change in the proposed plan.
Area C: Approximately 3.76 acres and includes the vacant site formerly known as
Backyard Bar and Grill, 2nd Wind Outlet, ACE Rent-A-Car and the site formerly known
as Airport Bowl. This entire area is under combined ownership by John Bogen. Mr.
Bogen has expressed a willingness to redevelop the area or to sell it to someone else to
redevelop.
Area D: Approximately 1.85 acres includes the Winton House Apartments (42 units).
They are owned and managed by Highland Management Group, Inc.
Area E: Approximately 1.48 acres includes the Community Court Apartment Complex
containing 40 apartment units.
Other currently developed areas are viewed by staff as being too expensive and/or
impractical to redevelop. Among these properties are the Jim Ramstad Community
Service Center (which includes Adler Graduate School), Ecosmart and several large
apartment communities. Without Eminent Domain for redevelopment purposes, these
sites would be impossible to purchase without the owners' consent. Even if the owner
were a willing seller, the acquisition and relocation expenses associated with these
properties are probably cost prohibitive.
Recreation Services staff has researched the history of Washington Park and has
concluded that there aren't any state or federal covenants on Washington Park that
would restrict its future use. It would be legally permissible, therefore, to include the
park in any redevelopment plans. Ultimately, the City Council would have to decide
whether making any changes to the park would be appropriate
Community Development staff is also attempting to estimate the economic impact of
redeveloping the identified parcels.
This topic will be discussed at a joint City Council/HRA Work Session scheduled for
Tuesday, September 10 at 6 p.m.

Council Memorandum No. 83 HRA Memorandum No. 46
Housing & Redevelopment
The Honorable Mayor Authority Commissioners
And City of Richfield
Members of the City Council
Subject: Soliciting Proposals for the Cedar Point II Area
(Worksession Agenda Item No. 2)
Council Members and Commissioners:
As you are aware, Sherman Associates withdrew their development proposal for the
Cedar Point II area on August 20.
Since that time, another development team has approached staff with a preliminary
concept for redeveloping the area. At this early stage, staff does not see any apparent
problems with this proposal and believes that it is worth exploring further. It is up to the
policy-makers, however, whether additional proposals should be sought to compare and
contrast with the proposal which has been brought to staff's attention. Staff is aware of
at least one other development team that had expressed an interest in proposing a
project in the area.
Regardless of whether the City is going to entertain just this one proposal or open it up
to other developers, staff is recommending that any proposal contain the information
that was requested in the previous Request for Qualifications/Proposal process so that
staff can conduct its due diligence in reviewing the prospective development team's
background, development history, financial resources and references.
City Council Members and HRA Commissioners will be able to discuss this further and
give staff direction at the September 10 joint City Council/HRA Work Session.
