Council Letter No. 313
Agenda December 17, 1990
Issue Statement•
Public hearing and approval of Modification No. 6 to the LHN
Commercial Improvement. Program.
Background•
Modification No. 6 places all property bounded by vacated
Pillsbury Avenue, West 65th Street, the Soo Line railroad right-
of-way and West 66th Street in acquisition status. It would
permit the implementation of the Bradley Real Estate Investment
Trust (Bradley) concept to be presented at the Council/HRA
meeting on December 17. Purchase by either the HRA or Bradley
would then be in conformance with the redevelopment plan. The
HRA would purchase the Levine property directly. It contains
U. S. Swim and Fitness, Great Clips, Snyders and Hauser's.
Bradley would negotiate with the owners of Kentucky Fried
Chicken, the P & D Investment building at 224 West 66th Street
and the Naegele sign. If negotiations were not successful, the
HRA power of condemnation could be utilized with Bradley paying
HRA Costs.
Funding to implement the purchase of the Levine property would be
drawn from the LHN tax increment fund. In 1991, when conditions
are appropriate, bonds could be sold to finance this transaction
and reimburse the tax increment fund. By law, any bonds sold
would have to be amortized by the year 2000.
Recommended Motion:
Hold the public hearing and adopt the attached resolution which
approves the LHN Plan Modification No. 6 and makes the necessary
funding available.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. To redevelop this property, Modification No. 6 must be
approved.

of this modification.
