HRA Letter No. 27
Agenda December 22, 1975
Housing and Redevelopment
Authority Commissioners
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject; Amendment of L/H/N Redevelopment Plan
United National, Inc. is requesting a minor revision of the adopted
L/H/N Redevelopment Plan. The proposal is to add 5,800 square feet of
storage area to the rear of Korner Plaza (see attachments). The proposed
amendment will not be significant in that it does not alter the use, signif-
icantly expand the project area or represent a large expansion. This
amendment will be acceptable if an agreement can be reached for the future
• relocation of 65th Street and vacation of Pillsbury Avenue. It should be
stressed that the street should not be vacated until development occurs,
but an agreement should be reached between the City of Richfield and
United National for future action. ~.
In the case of previous United National Corporation proposals, Korner
Plaza has typically made the comment that there is insufficient parking close
to the Korner Plaza store and has historically opposed development proposals
which would have taken any of the parking close to the store . The proposed
addition will eliminate 24 parking stalls from the present parking lot. How-
ever, the Korner Plaza is supporting this proposal and does not object to the
elimination of the parking stalls.
While 14 parking places would be lost from the overall L/H/N parking
plan arrangement, sufficient parking space would continue to exist if
Pillsbury Avenue is vacated as planned and if 65th Street is relocated to the
north. The vacation of Pillsbury .Avenue can only be initiated by Penny's or
United National Corporation. Likewise, the relocation of 65th Street can
only be initiated by the United National Corpcra~ion. ~~:asmuch as this
proposed development will take some ,~f the e};fisting Farking stalls it is
suggested that the HRA give cons~derztion to delaying a decision or. this
proposed amendment to the plan ur_i:il the changes in the street con~iguration
are initiated .
