Dear Commissioners: Pet Cetera Central, Inc. (Pet Cetera) was ~relQeated from 6520 Lyndale Avenue South to Richfield Shoppes North at 6519 Nicollet Avenue on December 17, 1984. Pet Cetera was the last business occupying the Strom property to be relocated from the Market Plaza development site. This letter proposes that the HRA provide further rental assistance to Pet Cetera with monies already appropriated. Pet Cetera is a retail pet store, which specializes in the sale of animals usually not found in a typical pet shop. Other animal. related products are also sold in the store. Mr. Heikkila, the owner, wanted to stay in the area but it was di.ffieult to find an alternative location. It was necessary to displace this business prior to the conveyance of the property to the redeveloper. Lincoln Properties, owner/developer of Richfield Shoppes North was approached regarding the availablity of space for Pet Cetera. Initially, they were reluctant as were other property owners to have a pet business as a tenant. But following negotiations with Pet Cetera, Lincoln Properties and the HRA, a proposed agreement was formulated. The major points of the agreement are discussed below. They were the result of examining alternative relocation strategies and were the least cost approach which would provide for the uninterrupted operation of this business. At a special meeting on August 27, 1984, the HRA considered the negotiated proposal for relocating Pet Cetera to Richfield Shoppes North. The proposal included the following: 1. The HRA would pay for the cost of moving from the old location to the new. This type of payment is required by the relocation regulations and amounted to $10,000. 2. The HRA would pay for the cost of adapting the new space to meet the unique requirements of the business. At the time, regulations required that the HRA pay this cost which was estimated at $95,000. ~-a _2_ 3. The HRA providing additional assistance not to exceed $45,000 to be available under two alternative concepts as necessary. a. The HRA would make a rental assistance payment to Pet Cetera based upon the following formula: 1. The monthly rent was set .at $2,800, plus taxes and utilities. Pet Cetera would pay $1,156 per month (first year) or 15% of gross revenues, not to exceed $2,800 per month, whichever is greater. 2. In year two, the rent would increase to $3,500 per month. Pet Cetera would pay $1,3$0 per month or 20~ of gross revenues not to exceed $3,500 per month,. whichever is greater. These payments were also permitted by the relocation regulations.. b. A two year guarantee by the HRA to Lincoln Properties guaranteeing the payment of rent if Pet Cetera was forced to vacate the space due to non payment of rent. Payments by the HRA would cease when Lincoln Properties found another tenant.. It should be noted that Lincoln Properties has not yet provided the HRA with the guarantee agreement. As noted above, this relocation concept represented the "least cos t. approach" for the HRA with a projected maximum exposure of $181,804. The alternative approach could have cost up to approximately $2.15,000 and included storage of animals. At the August 27 ,.1984 meeting, the HRA authorized the Chairman and Executive Director to enter into agreements to implement the above arrangements not to exceed $150,000. The agreement with Pet Cetera was executed following that authorization. Mr. Heikkila contacted staff approximately two weeks ago to discuss his current •situation. He is experiencing some financial difficulties and inquired about the availability of further assistance perhaps through modification of the above discussed agreements. He, like many new business people, has already borrowed to his limit. This borrowing was done before he relocated and was necessary to start-up the business and keep it operating. Staff responded that providing assistance would be e"xplored. However, he would have to agree to an evaluation of his business by a business advisor who would report to staff. He agreed. Staff contacted the College of St. Thomas Small Business Development Center (SBDC). Mr. Richard J. Daly, a Business Advisor for the SBDC, scheduled a meeting with Mr. Heikila to evalu-ate the business operation. -3- 7-3 Mr. Daly's evaluation of Pet Cetera is positive. That is, Pet Cetera is a viable business operating at very low cost, but is experiencing a cash flow problem because of "growing pains". He felt that this is primarily a result of the relocation due to the following factors: -a 20°6 increase in total rentable square footage. -a 300 increase in monthly rent. -a need to increase his inventory to fill the additional square footage of retail sales floor area. -an increase in utility costs. -an 11% decrease in the gross profit margin although sales have more than doubled. Pet food and supply sales have increased while the sale of animals, birds and reptiles has decreased. Food and supplies have a lower profit margin. During negotiations on re ovation, it was assumed that the profit margin would r-emain approximately the same, Due to the increase in total sales, as of May, Pet Cetera is no longer eligible for the rental assistance payment under the Agreement with the. HRA. Based upon the assumptions at the previous location, it was assumed a rental assistance payment of approximately $1,500 a month would be likely. The HRA's obligation to date has only been $2,443.93 (which is approximately $6,500 less than our assumption). The $45,000 appropriation has been disbursed as follows: $45,000.00 HRA approved allocation for rent assistance and lease guarantee - 2,443.93 Rental Assistance Payments (Dee.'$4-April '85, no payments required since April 30th) - 2,345.00 Additional physical change requirement authorized by HRA x,211.07 Balance of relocation appropriation Of the total $150,000 relocation payment authorized, the expenditures have been as follows: $150,000.00 Total Relocation Allocation by HRA 10,000.00 Moving and Related Expenses 95,000.00 Physical Changes 2,345.00 Additional physical changes required to meet code requirements. 2,443.93 Rental Assistance Payments $ 40,211.07 Balance The HRA will not be making any further rental assistance payments if the business maintains its present monthly total sales level. Because of the increase in operating expenses and gross profit margin decrease noted above, Pet Cetera has fallen behind in rental payments. Lincoln Properties has not yet evicted them. If the lease was terminated as of July 1, the HRA would be obligated to.Lineoln Properties, in accordance _~_ ~y with the two year stipulation, to pay the portion of unpaid rent at the time Pet Cetera vacates plus the monthly rent until a new tenant would occupy that space or until December, 1986. The maximum cost could be $67,763. Mr. Daly has indicated that if Mr. Heikkila was able to pay his rent and a large natural gas bill,. Pet Cetera could continue to be a vaiable business. Six thousand dollars would make these payments possible. With sales increasing every month, he should be able to remain current with his payables. It is proposed that the HRA through a Memorandum of Understanding make an additional payment of $1,000 per month retroactive to December 198~i through May, 1985. By so doing, the business has a significant prospect of becoming viable; and the HRA would be able to retain a balance of $3~t,211.07 of the $45,000 appropriation already authorized. Of course, due to the- uncertainty of the market place, we have no absolute assurance that. this payment will allow the business to turn around and become profitable.. It is recommended that the HRA authorize the Executive Director and Chairman to execute a Memorandum of Understanding which permits the HRA to make an additional payment in a lump sum to Pet Cetera Central, Inc. The payment is to be retroactive to December 1984, through May, 1985, at a fixed rate of $1,000/month to provide for the continued operation of the business. ' JGC/eja :r~ MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING THIS MEMORANDUM made and entered into this day of June, 1985 by and between the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Richfield, a body politic and corporate under the laws of the State of Minnesota (HRA), and Pet Cetera Central, Inc.., a Minnesota Corporation (Pet Cetera). WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the parties hereto did on February 28, 1985 enter into an agreement entitled "AGREEMENT" for purposes of structuring the payment of certain relocation benefits payable to Pet Cetera; and WHEREAS, subsequent to the. execution of the Agreement,. Pet Cetera has experienced certain business expense increases not contemplated by the parties; and WHEREAS, it appears desirable and equitable to modify the Agreement in such a matter to fully address such increase business expenses; NOW THEREFORE., upon the payment by Pet Cetera of $1.00 and other good and valuable considerations, the receipt. and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged the parties. here to stipulate and agree. as follows: I. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the monthly rent subsidy payable for the months of December, 1984 through May, 1885 is hereby increased by $1,000 for each such month.. II. That the increased subsidy described in paragraph I of this Memorandum shall be payable in a single installment along with any rent subsidy otherwise payable pursuant. to the Agreement for the month of May, 1985• III. That the Agreement shall except as herein specifically modified, remain in full force and effect and continue to bind the parties according to its terms. IN TESTIMONDY WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set their hands as of the date and year first above written. HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY IN AND FOR THE CITY OF RICHFIELD BY Its C airman BY Its Executive Director PET CETERA CENTRAL, INC. BY Its President ~.~ / HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Office of Executive Director HRA Letter No. 32 Agenda June 17, 1985 Housing and Redevelopment Authority Commissioners City of Richfield Subject: Future Role of Metro HRA or How Should the Metro HRA be Structured? Dear Commissioners: The attached memo to the Metropolitan Council HRA Advisory Committee from the Metropolitan Council Housing Director, Nancy Reeves, discusses the future role of Metro HRA. This letter and the memo are provided for information and discussion purposes. The administrative structure and policies of the Metro HRA will be reviewed this summer by the Metro HRA Advisory committee. Metropolitan Council member Gertrude Ulrich, who serves as Metro Council laison to the Metro HRA Board, has been invited to attend the Richfield HRA meeting and offer her perspective. Metro HRA has been useful to Richfield in several ways. Their most visible role has been with the Section 8 program. They obtain funds from HUD and distribute them to communities like Richfield to provide for the administration of this program on a local level. H©using for 262 elderly and family households is thus provided in Richfield. At the invitation of the city, they also operate a program which provides below market interest rate loans which homeowners may use to provide accessory apartments. To date one such loan has been provided. Again, at our invitation, they attempted to interest apartment owners in a rehabilitation program which made funds available for repairs if the owner agreed to make the upgraded units part of the. Section 8 program for several years. No participants have yet come from Richfield. These programs indicate how Metro HRA is able to be of assistance in a community with an active HRA. In the case of a popular program, such as Section $, they become a conduit for funds to a local community. However, Metro also makes it possible for small communities to offer less popular, but important programs, such as accessory apartments and rental rehabilitation that we could not offer alone. In the concluding paragraph of the Advisory Committee memo, five options for structuring Metro HRA are presented. The options range from the present structure to an independent HRA organization. At this. time, it isn't appropriate to identify a desirable option. However, the HRA should encourage continued examination of them. Local government input may be sought by 5a -2- the Metro HRA Advisory Committee this July. Since it will be important for Richfield officials to keep informed about this issue, additional reports will be submitted at future meetings. At the appropriate time, Richfield officials will hopefully be in a position to make our position known on the question: "Haw should the Metro HRA be structured?" ectfu]~y,~s}x~itted , John G.

Possible Changes in the Structure of Metro HRA-and- its Relationship td the Metropolitan Council Background As'you kncw,_ Metro HRA is, by statute,.: a part. of the-Metropolitan Council, whici~ is its official Board of Commissioners. The Metro HRA Advisory Committee makes recorr~endations to the Metropolitan Cou»c1 which is-responsible for all final decisio»s affecting i:he HRA. The-HRA was created by the Minnesota Legislature in 1974,. anal. almost-from the beginning, its structure as apart of the. Metropolitan Council has been challenged and. criticized: This criticism ' has. been consistently maintained ever since by such groups as the Citizens League,. and.. other groups have.. been in and out of the discussion over time. There has never been a reliable consensus as to the proper structure fbr Metro HRA.. . -- In recent months, the concern over the. HRA"s structure has intensified as the Metropolitan Council itself .has: begun to question it. At its: rec~nt.Budget Retreat, the Council members decided that the HRA structure should be studied and. alternatives considered.. They also decided that the Metropolitan Housing Fund was an inappropriate activity for the Metropolitan Council and should be dropped. immediately. The Metrop Titan Council has always accepted Metro HRA, as long as its functions. have been primarily administrative, as in the rent assistance and rehab programs the HRA currently administers. These are largely pass-through functions:- In°the past 10 years, the HRA has, on 3 occasions, attempted. to move beyond the pure administrative role into other,.: more. traditional operating functions. The first instance,'in 1978-79, involved a Metro HRA grove to deve-lop family public: housing in several willing suburbs ._ The Council had. approved the idea,- and funding from HU0 had been given preliminary approval. But a new Governor (Quie) was elected, a new Council Chair (Weaver) was appointed.,. and Metro HRA was quickly directed to discontinue the public housing program and return- the funds to HUD.. (Jwning and operating housing was considered inappropriate for the Council. ' The second: situation involved an HRA plan to issue revenue bonds on behalf of several suburban ca~rrunities so that they could develop lower-cost rental housing. That plan received preliminary Council approval in 1982, but a new Chair (Isaacs) ordered it discontinued in~1983 because he felt it would place the Council in competition with the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. (MHFA supported the HRA plan, but that was never brought out.) -2- s~ The third and roost recent instance involved the Housing Fund, a case where the Council felt that it was a~good idea, but someone else should do it. Unlike. the previous situations, it should be pointed out that the current Council Chair,. ~ardebring, did not initiate the move to discontinue the Housing Fund... Logistics ______._ that. it will be the responsibility of the HRA Advisory Committee zo szua zne estion ana pre are a recommendation for e e rgpo 1 an Council. That recommen ataon wi i e y e ei er ore aan a current str~uc ure,- to become a separate.Metropoiitan commission .like the MTC or the. Waste:COntroi Camnission,, or to be completely independent of the Council. There are. many things- to consider before a recommendation is offered.. From a. timing standpoint, if a changed structure is to be recommended, legislation 'would have tc~ be prepared in plenty of time far the 1986 legislative session... In order to make a decision of this magnitude, it would be helpful to hear from • several points of view.. If the Committee is interested, any or all of the following people: can be ins>ited to the June meeting: • -Jar,~es ~io]mes chair of the Housing Advisory Committee that. developed Metro H~A I'egislation) David~Graven {a Metropolitan Council member during the formation. cf . _ t'~te tro NRA) . Art.I~aftalin (a Metropolitan Council "historian" with definite-views about Metro HRA) . In addition,..Fhil Cohen,. our Chair,. was instrumental in the formation and.. structure of Metro HRA, and his views should be heard. Joan Campbell, a Tang- time Metropolitan Council member who has always supported the HRA"s programs, should be heard from.. Gertrude Ulrich, liaison betlveen the Council and Metro HRA, should give her perspective~._ And finally, at least one. Metropolitan Council member who opposes the current. structure shauld_be invited to speak .._ This could be Mary Hauser, Oirk Oevries,~or a newer Council member.: Local government input should also play a critical- role in this process. Perhaps local representatives could be invited to.the July meeting and asked for their opinions. This could include representatives from Metro HRA participating communities and from other HRAs as well. As other issues surface during this process, help will be available to the. Corranittee from the Council"s legal and finance staffs, as well as the. Metro HRA staff.. Hopefully, a final recommendation can be ready no later than the August Committee meeting.. The Issues There are several ways to state the central issue, and at least fivo perspectives. The basic question is. Ho~.r should t;~e ~~tetro y~A be structured? What method is best for the Metropolitan Council? What method is best for Metro HRA (and the communities and people it serves)? - 3- ~/' At one time, cost people felt that the current structure was best. for both the Council and the HRA.. {Granted,. even then there was some external opposition to the Council as an "operating" agency.) The Council set regional housing policies, and Metro HRA was available to help with their implementation. The relationship was extremely complementary, and the number of smaller communities; offering subsidized housing for the first time through Metro HRA was dramatic. Being apart. of the Council clearly enhanced-Metro HRA's ability to compete successfully far federal and state•housing funds.: At the same time, the housing services provided by Metro HRA were an excellent public. relations tool for the Council in its often stormy relationships with local governments.. Those who would. argue to retain-the current structure would cite the successes noted, above. They might: also note that: the. Metro HRA is the. only one- of the: Council's '~Qp°r~ting" arms that has not been criticized in either the newspaper headlines or the Legislatwe Auditor's report.. At a time when the Council is moving toward greater control. over the MTC, MAC, MWCC, etc., it seems incongruous to sug9esi that Metro HRA should become more like these Metropolitan Coc~missions. To the critics. who maintain that the Metro HRA takes time. away from the Council s critical planning agenda, and uses Council resources. that: could: better be devoted to planning, one would Nava to answer • that.Counc~l agenda time for Metro HRA issues can be measured in minutes-per year, not in large blocks of time, and that the Council derives its resources exclusively from fedzr~l-and state. program funds not available for Council planning functions. ._ Having heard these arguments, Art Naftalin once stated that if Metro HRA doesn't take up--much- of the. Council's time, "It.probably .isn't a very goad. HRA." That:. statement: may we11 be: a key to this entire discussion;. and it provides a. perfect: transition to the second l i ne~ of" argument. the Committee: should consider.- MetrorHRA is a very good HRA'.. However, it could perhaps be better,.. but probably not under the current structure. This is where the immovable: objeci: meets the irresistible force. To remain apart of the Council, Metro HRA-must. operate within the strict: limits the Council feels are suitable for a regional planning agency.. 1Jithin these-limii:s, it may not be possible for Metro HRA to meet the local housing needs for which ii: was created. Although Metro HRA has been able: to grow 'rapidly (serving over 3,500 households this year) and: has received generous amounts of federal and state funding, this growth rate is not assured into the future. In fact, federal funds available for subsidy programs- are declining rapidly.. If Metro HRA is limited to only one or two "anDronriate" federal funding programs, and if_funding for those- programs- continues its decline, Metro HtiA-s suture is.ciear~y in QOUDL. Traditional HRAs have always been able to adapt. to whatever funding opportunities were available, be they new construction programs, banding programs, public housing, rehab., or whatever, thus being able to continue to fulfill their mission of serving people in need. Metro HRA's Section 8 Existing Program funding contracts expire in 1987. There is no federal guarantee. that they-wi17 be rene~Ned. If the only funding options available in 1987 are not in the ".appropriate" range for Metro HRA,. over 3,000 families wi71 face an extremely abrupt transition in their housing arrangements. There is also the question of priorities. Presumably, housing. is always a . priority in traditional HRAs. The same is not necessarily the case Gvith the Metropolitan Council, as evidenced by the recent Budget Retreat, at which "housing" in general was assigned low priority anal the. Housing Fund in particular was dropped. To the thousands of families .unable- to afford decent housing, it is a priority.. It could certainly be argued that these people deserve abetter HRA. _ Y -4- - ~_ ~, Alternatives During the coring months, the. Corimittee will be considering several options for structuring the HRA.. Details on a. variety of structural options wi11 be provided, anong them;. (1)'Retairt the current. structure and continue as a "1"invited HRA.." (2) Retain the current structure with an expanded scope of appropriate Metre HRA activities. (3) Create a seQi-independent HRA,. using a Metropolitan commission model. (4) Create. an independent Metro HRA with minimal (or no) ties to the Metropolitan Council. . (5) Add Metro.~iRA to .some other already-existing. agency or organization. LS3771 _ .

However, because of the length of the meeting, it was decided to delay this item until the June 17th or July 15th meeting. If time permits, staff will present this item on June 17th.. In October, 1984, the HRA requested a report on the status of the LHN. It is now anticipated that a report will be available in August. The request was for a report on the overall status of the tax. increment cash flow and its relationship to debt service needs, and, for a similar analysis of each individual bond issue. Staff has expanded the scope of the report and it will actually be a performance evaluation of the L/H/N project from its beginning in 1975• In addition to reporting on the status of tax increment cash flows and bond obligations, all expenditures, income and activity units•will be reported upon in as much detail as possible. The format for the report has been established and is attached. The projects are listed on the first page of the attachment. The sub-project analysis is the last three pages of the attachment. The second step will be to consolidate all the sub-projects into a summary. The third step of the process will be to provide an analysis of the project on a bond issue by bond issue basis. That report is the second through fourth pages of the attaehement. The auditing firm of Cummings, Keegan and Co. has recently been enlisted to assist in compiling the data. They are the firm which conducts the annual HRA audit. R~ectfu d'ohn G. Car Executive Di fitted, wrigh ?°ect'r JCG/eja LHN PROJECT SUM<~I.4RY REFCRTS.

Th demographics, housing, housing the elderly in our community. Connie Hoverson, Dave Siburg, of M Humphrey Institute presented Local Strategy On Aging: e report is an analysis of services and policies regarding The analysis traced the growth of our elderly population through the year 2000 and indicated it would increase significantly. The increase has implications for housing and support services designed to facilitate independent living. The May 20 HRA meeting with the Human Services Commission (formerly the Senior Citizen/Handicapped Commission) concluded with the following agreed. upon action steps: 1. The HRA and HSC would meet again to "brainstorm" ideas on housing issues; 2. Participate in the proposed Strategy on Aging Task Force which will be responsible for implementing actions that are adopted from the Humphrey Institute report entitled "A Local Strategy on Aging - Riehfield's Opportunities". The first hour of the HRA meeting, from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., has been set aside for the joint "brainstorming" session with the HSC. Barbara Lukerman and Connie Hoverson will be in attendance. At the conclusion of the session, the HRA is asked to designate two memebers to serve on the Strategy on Aging Task Force. The of-her participants will include two persons from the HSC, Planning Commission and the City Council. The task force would review the. report, hopefully formulate questions regarding future directions, and devise a strategy in response to the questions. A tentative work program would be established prior to August 12. Recommendations would be ready by January, 1986. i-~ -2- Excerpts from in your backup guide for the session. the Hubert Humphrey Institute report are provided (pp. 48-60).

Basic Aements 'Ilztough rc~odficatian to setting,. an environment of interdependence, or both, and minima]. supervision/assistance, asemi-independent living arrangement is created. B.. Concept.. Ta provide an independent as possible and cost effective Living arrangement while assuring .the presence of assistance if needed. C. Examples 1. Shared Housing a. Basic Elesaents C A rnmiber of elderly persons (2-~0) live as one household. in a residence. Residents have separate bedrooms and. often:. separate. bathrooms while they sham kitchen. and living areas.. House may be owned by~an agency or municipality,.. or by a private owner who shares living arrangements.. Costs- of housing, etc., are shared. A • ~ home can also be shared by an elderly homegiver and.a ° y©ung hameseekez. 'Tis opt3.on can serve both-the. frail. elderly, who may need significant support.services as well. as housing, or the basically healthy who, for financial and/or- social. reasons, wish tc live with others. ° b. Concept Ta provide Lower housing costs for the elderly by sharing: expenses. To provide the security-and shares responsibilities of living with: several. other persons. Interdependence is encouraged in the. shared home. setting and through it,: the need for formal provisions of some services is reduced or e.limi.nated that in other settings would: be regcaired.. c. Needs Underutilized houses or larger buildings to use. Coordination to match up persons wishing to share housing. d., Role. of the City Barziers/Problems: Zoning codes do not permit more that 3 ~.mrelated individuals to live in a single- fami.ly house in a R district. Costs of organizing and maintaining the matching system, as well as over- sight to assure that arrangements work well.. Home maintenance services may have to be provided. .'There is sometimes nei.~iborhood resistance to "grnup homes". -49- /-5 Opportunities:. Some housing would be made available if several. older persons combined households. Older residents could stay in the. area. at little cost to the city.. (Examples.: Hennepin County has a program to find 'foster homes' for the elderly; Lutheran. - Social Services has aShare-A-Home pragram that. matches college students with elderly persons.) What the-City can do: Revise. the zoning: code :to permit. up to 5 unrelated individuals to live gin. a single family house'~in a,.R district as Bloomington does... Permit shared housing inscertain zones thus avoiding handling proposals on a case-'oy-ease basis.: Special permits and overlay zones are also appropriate for shared housing. Z. ECHO Housing (Elder Cottage Housing Opportunity) a.. Basic_ FiTI.e<nents Scna3.l, teazporary, self-contained uru.t, sit in the yard of an existing house.~'Lhe secondary house is occupied by an elderly person, often a relative of the.. owner.- af. the existing: home.. and is removed w~ . t3ie: elderly person..no: longer lives:: there... b. Concept To P~-de independent housiuzg for elderly persons which i.s~` inexpensive: and easy- to maintain, with. the added. security o£ _having other. family a~nbers:~ nearby. . Interdependence is encouraged by relying on the family for support as internal caregivers. c. Needs Source of good quality temporary homes at low prices. - Cocnrnuiity with large- residential lots.. d. Role of the. City Barriers/Problems:- Zoning. ordinances do not a11ow ~. adding a second home. to asingle-family lot... An -- accessory building cannot be used as a residence.. Public safety problems, especially fire. protection. Bu~.lding may not conform to ~Iirmesota state building codes. Icapact on public services. such as water and sewer. Neighborhood resistances may be great. Richfield. is probably a poor community for this type of housing. Lots are relatively small; many back yards are. not practically accessible.-- t'~ere are fe*a alleys, and many houses are separated by only 10 feet (or less). -50- /-(o What the City can do: ECHO housing does not seem to be a particularly viable option for Richfield so it may be most prudent for the city to do nothing.. 3. Accessory Apartments a.. Bas1c Elements A housing unit added to a single-family house; within the existing space of the house•.or through additions as Iong as required seti~acks are met... The unit is then rented out or- the homeowner moves to tine apart- meet and rents. the main house, with the-payrrtent being. either in cash o=~services~, or a combination of both. Accessory apartments occupy less than 50% of~the org- final house, and are often required to take. up no rc~ore than ZS-3Ql of the original space. b. Concept To provide affordable rental housing. units within a neighborhood setting and~to more effectively utilize existing housing stock.. 'Ihe homeowner benefits.. by obtaining an income to help wi.tii home-owning costs. Eor the elderly, it provides t~ao~ benefits 1.. A chance: to stay in an "i.uidezutilized" home. while obtaining help with expenses and the. added security (and possible maintenance. assistance:) of someone living. with them.. Z A sma1.1, inexpensive place to rent which provides security and.asingle-family home atmosphere without the cost and maintenance problems... c. Needs A stock of convertible. homes. Financial assistance with conversion costs.. d.. Role. of the City Barriers/Problems : Zon' ng ordinances do not periri. t - mzil.tiple residences in most. parts of. R zones . Housing. stock:. The majority of Richfield's houses are fairly small,. and are not of the type winch facilitate easy or inexpensive remodeling. - - Comnunity Resistance: Accessory apaztt:ents are. often seen as down-grading ..a single-fami.ly-~residential-area to multiple residences. ,y • • • -51- i-7 Opportunities:- Provides a source of housing for the: elderly which does not need direct subsidy... Accessory apartments are permitted uses in the parts of the R zone in which duplexes are allowed (abutting arterial. and collector streets) . Loans for conver- sion are available through the ~esota Housing .. Finance':: Agency . The increased..valrle of the coziverted houses. might increase the tax base ::somewhat, altough this= effect. is generally slight.. Zoning cedes can be. written- to include strict controls~on appearances of housing, lnt. size,. setbacks, original sine of house, and. owner- occupancy... Addition of accessory apartments can also. be adcflinistered through. the special. use permit process to pFOVide control over each indzvidual con- version.. What the City can do :: Richfield already allows Acc~:ssory Apartments as- a, pernti.tted use by right in. cei-taia parts of R zones... Special Permit Use on a case: basis.. for requests: o~itside of areas where a pernri.tted use by r3,ght - 'IlZi.s allows. the addition of an accessory apartment uponfihe grantingof aspecial permz.t if certain' standards are a~et. This allows camnmunities to exercise. control aver_coriversions. In some instancas, a time. period is set. for t'~e permi.t..

Zhe particulars of each individual Congre- gate housing program are determined by the interplay of funding and site availability,. needs of the elderly ' in the area, the capacity of existing service providers, and the creativity and vision of those czh~o plan and . manage the pro j ect- ' c. Needs Funding to build and. operate. the. complex,. or. a developer w-ho will. provide what the community needs . Land.. on whi.c~ to bu.Id,. d. Role of the City Barriers~Problems: Expensive to build and operate,. although. less expensive. than a nursng.home. Richfield:. has little. land. on which. to put. such a development. Opportunities: Richfield's existing elderly housing developments offer. sane services, there may be oppor-~ tuni.ties for expansion of services. • What the. City can do : Due to the lace of vacant developable land for such a use, the. city can pursue adaptive reuse. adaptive muse refers to theconver- sion of existing buildings, many of which are under- utilized, to new uses. 'Ihe process is called 'adaptive' because it seeks to preserve or modify the best. characteristics of particular buildings and the needs of particular communities . ~y coaanuraities prefer -53- f- ~j to rehabilitate- existing. buildings rather than build new ones because it can be more economical and less disruptive.. Finding new uses for old school buildings, for-example,. is advantageous to local communities because in puts them back on tax. rolls and reduces ~~ the cost of mothballing su~:h a. building. They are. often excellent sites for senior housing,. but rehabil- nation does require fiords to pay for developemnt .casts. Critical to making adaptive reuse: work as a housing- aI.ternative for the elderly is-_ tine: necessary compli- _ ance to local zoning regulations and. building codes.- . The city can facilitate adaptive:reuse projects by providing sensitive special. permit and variance pro- c~res. This is especially true. for older- tui.ldings which have. nonconforming. uses, have inadequate parking, or" do not meet. various setback requirzments. 2~ Congregate t1Type" Settings o~ Enriched Housing: a.. Basic II.ements Congregate type.ar F~ri.ched housing can be created by coordinating and providing services at:existing sites with. high. concentrations of elderly.. A "caretaker" or nurse lives in the building or does frequent monitoring of.:residents. The housing may be publicly owned,.:ow~ed.by a private agency,. or. have. rent subsidies... . b.- Concept.: To pravi.de a: living situation as independent as possible; at low cost, w~i.le assuring consistent. monitoring to prevent problems-and. take care of basic needs. In an effort. to preserve a non-institutional enviroranent, the percentage of frail. elderly is ~ . nozznally limited to ensure maintaininga viable informal systen of mutual support. c.- Needs ,, Buildings -large houses or small apartment:buildings..

The developers have contracted with the arehitec.tural firm of Korsunsky, Krank and Erickson (KKE) to provide site planning and architectural services for this property. The developer is proposing in the first phase a major office/hotel/parking deck complex on this site along with support facilities. The new development is estimated to be $75 million. Representatives from CDR and KKE will make a presentation at 8:30 P.M. on this proposed development at the regular meeting of June 17. City Council, ILN Task Force and Planning Commission members have been invited to attend this presentation. HRA staff and the City's planning consultant, BRW, will set the stage for this presentation by first reviewing the ILN work program status. Next, the Hampton Inn and Bloomington Honda project proposals will be reviewed. The final presentation will be made by CDR. and KKE representatives. pectfu,Yly~) s}.H~itted , John G. ~Cart`~right Executive Di ctod JGC/eja a-a Downtown Minneapolis Office Market Vacancy Trends 25 20 15 10 5 ova D M J S 0 M J S D M J S D M J S D M - 80 ~ 81 ~ ~ 82 ~ ~ 83 ~ ~ 84 ~ L 85 - Downtown St. Paul Office Market Vacancy Trends 25 20 15 10 5 ^ National Trend 14.2 12.5 12.48 11.4 10.1 11.8 1174 17.74 }}q3 i1.65- 9.4 9.4 "- 9.70 8.63 8.0 8.7 8.6 d74 D M J S D M J S 0 M J S D M J S Q M 60 ~ 81 ~ ~ 82 ~ ' 83 ' ~ 84 ~ ~. S5 Minneapolis, which accounts for three-quarters of the Twin Cities downtown office supply, had an overall vacancy rate of 11.5 percent at the end of the fourth quarter 1984, rising to 15.35 percent at the end of the first quarter of the new year. The vacancy increase was due largely to the addition of space in two new buildings that increased the base by 1,144,000 square feet. No other new buildings are scheduled for completion until 1986. Conse- quently, vacancies should decline over the next 15 months. As of December 31, 1984, the downtown St. Paul vacancy rate was 11.43 percent, increasing from 9.7 percent in the third quarter. The first quarter of 1985 showed another slight increase to 11.65 per- cent, as the result of the recent purchase by the Palmer Group of Burlington Northern's head- quarters, which brought new multi-tenant space an line in the first quarter.

Both rates are well below the historic high vacancyrate of 25 percent, experienced in the second quarter of 1983. During the past decade, new construction in the suburban markets outpaced downtown office construction. The suburban mar- ket has expanded geographically in several areas, but the southwest market remains the most active. Vacancy rates are expected to increase in 1985 as new buildings are completed, and because of com- petitionfrom the tech-flex segment of the industrial market. Twin.

These declines are due to a combination of increased absorption and the lack of new speculative buildings. Further declines are expected because rental rates on available properties don't support new construc- tion costs. Although activity is improving, the market depth for large building space remains uncertain. Most new construction will be design/ build, not speculative space. By contrast, small building activity remains strong, particularly in tech-flex properties. 5 _ Q~'~/ II ..

Minne- sofa, this day of 1985.. PZayo r ATTEST: City Clerk a ~~~ June 3, 1985 Dennis Kraft. City of Richfield City .Hall 6700 Portland Ave. Richfield, Mn 55423 Dear- Mr . Kraft As per our phone conversation of last week, I am writing to change our request that was made in my April 25th, 1985, letter regarding the June 10th City Council meeting. We have completed a sight. plan regarding the proposed hotel on the corner of 49¢ and Lyndale Avenue South to meet with-.all of the City of Richfield's requirements, including parking and setbacks.. It will be necessary to reduce the size of the hotel from the expanded 1¢7-room proposal to the standard 123-room hotel. There is some question as to the-actual size of the property, but using the smallest of the three possibilities and meeting the City of Richfield's requirements, we will be able to build a standard hotel... Although the cost will be somewhat: lower,. the architecture and design. will remain unchanged. Should. more land become available, we would be able to expand the hotel in eight-room increments up to a maximum of 147 units.. In our April 2$th letter, we had indicated-that we are-requesting that the land be removed from the moratorium, as well as the first reading of our permit applications and are wondering. if these will be forthcoming.. Please forward these to me at your eaxliest con- _ venence so that we-can have these properly prepared prior to the meeting, Sincerely,.. Thomas C. Larson PALSCO, Inc.. P.O.

HRA and City Council entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with Richfield State Agency (RSA) dated December 13, 1983. This letter proposes an amendment to that Memorandum. The HRA and City Council. entered into a Contract for the Sale of Land for Private Development Dated January 21, 1882, with RSA. The Contr-act stated that the City Council would provide IDRB financing assistance for .the expansion of the RSA facility in which Richfield Bank & Trust is the primary tenant. The HRA agreed to acquire and sell to RSA two parcels of land: one, located at 67th and Lyndale; and, the other, located at 66th and Lyndale. Hagen Furs is the occupant of the latter property at 6601 Lyndale. The Contract stated that the structures located on these two parcels were to be removed within 90 days of the sale of the property to RSA. The structure at 67th and Lyndale was removed. However, because of delays in the RSA expansion project, it was not possible to remove the 6601 strucutre. Thus,. the original Contract was amended with a Memorandum of Agreement permitting the 6601 structure to remain until June 1, 1985, or no longer than 90 days following the vacation of the property by its tenants. The RSA project final phase is underway. The parcel occupied by the 6601 building and the adjoining structure to the east will become a below grade level parking lot to provide parking for customers to the McDonald~s Restaurant. The restaurant will be located in the lower level of the building. It is necessary to modify the Memorandum, to provide for a new building removal date by stipulating that the structure be removed by September 1, 1985, or within 90 days following the vacation of the property by its present tenants. This date was determined in consultation with representatives of RSA. It is recommended that the HRA approve the proposed amendment to the Memorandum of Agreement dated December 13, 1983, which would call for the removal of the structure at 6601 Lyndale -2- ,~_a Avenue by September 1, 1985 or within 90 days following the date the property has been vacated. by its present occupants, which ever date is earlier.

Car fight Executive Director JGC/eja HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ~ ~'~ / Office of Executive Director HRA Letter No. 3~t Agenda June 17, 1985 Housing and Redevelopment Authority Commissioners City of Richfield Subject:. Need for Staff Assistance Dear Commissioners: The staff to the HRA is experiencing the greatest demand upon its time in recent memory.. Also, two experienced staff members will each be on paid leave fori several months during the period July, 1985 through January, 1986. This letter requests from the HRA authorization for the hiring of an experienced person on an as needed consulting basis to assist regular staff with program formulation and implementation for a six-month period (July - December). Assistance is needed because of the high level of activity which presently exists and the anticipated work load in the next six months. In addition to regular program activities,-.there are a number of additional projects/programs for which assistance is needed: C1) the 66th Street and Rae Drive Housing Development; (2) development of housing at 70th and Penn; (3) the possible. initiation of a major housng project in the LHN (GAD-Walk).; (4) the redevelopment of the Cedar Avenue Liquor store site; (5) the "speed up" of the ILN study and implementation strategy; (6) a probable request for assistance in the development of housing adjacent to Lunds; (7) the ICMA Enterprise Development Strategy; ($) the possible need of Fraser Schools for assistance in providing a site for a Section 202 housing development; (g) the need for a timely evaluation of "A Local Strategy on Aging..." (an assessment of current housing. programs and the manner in which the programs respond to the needs identified in the report, and, the possible need for new approaches in housing); and, (10) the need to formulate an information program which would encourage people to sell vacant lots either to the HRA or a private developer for the construction of new homes. The loss of two experienced staff members (Lidy Flom and Judy Kunz) for several months will curtail HRA Staff effectiveness. A temporary experienced HRA person can help overcome this shortcoming! The services of a person experienced in housing and redevelopment activities would be sought.. A contract would be the basis for employment. The person would be paid at the rate of fourteen dollars per hour with no fringe benefits (annual _2_ y_a equivalent salary $29,120). The maximum contract amount would not exceed seventeen thousand dollars for the period July through December. At the November HRA meeting, an assessment would be made on the desirability of terminating the assistance at year's end or continuing the assistance into 1986. Funds are available to pay for this assistance from the LHN and the HRA Capital Fund . There are several attachments to this letter. Following this page is A through F. Page A is a tabulation of the projects identified in the letter for which assistance is needed. The estimated number of hours per project are identified. Pages B through F are a description of each project. Finally, pages 1-1 through 3-3 provide greater detail on the work program for certain of the projects. It is recommended that the Executive Director to execute a services of an additional staff JGC:sb HRA authorize the Chairman and contract providing for the person on a consulting basis.
