03-24-80 agenda 1~ HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Office of Executive Director HRA Letter No. 7 Agenda March 24, 1980 Housing and Redevelopment Authority Commissioners City of Richfield Dear Commissioners: Subject: Establishment of Just Compensation and Author- ization to Purchase Property in the L/H/N Area Owners of the following three properties located within acquis- ition areas of the LfH/N project have expressed a desire to sell. to the HRA: 709 Graham, 6617 Graham, and 738 West 66th Street.. The HRA presently owns several properties in the area bounded liy Graham Avenue and 66th Street, although the HRA does not own any of the property on the""Godfather Block". 709 Graham ~/~ Mr. Vernon Blanck~ the owner-occupant of this property, has requested the HRA to purchase this property because he is close to retirement and desires to move from the area. This property is located to the rear of the Star Auto store, within the area designated for commercial rehabilitation. The one and one-half story residence, containing 1,358 square feet, was constructed in 1945. On the first floor is a living room, dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom. The upper floor is finished, heated, and is suitable as.a bedroom. At the rear of the lot is a two-car garage. Two appraisals of the property have been completed. O.J. Janski and Associates appraised the property at $52,000. Mr. Don Hennessy, a review appraiser, concurred in this valuation. In addition to the cost of purchasing the property, the HRA may be liable to pay Mr. Blanck up to $16,000 for relocation ben- efits, including the cost to move his personal property. To finance the purchase of this property, estimated to cost approximately $68,000, it would be desirable to borrow the .funds from the ci~i.y. The recommended procedure provides that the HRA execute an agreement with the city for a loan from the Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund (PIR) prior to negotiating the prop- erty purchase. The PIR loan would be for a period of three years. HRA Letter No. 7 -2- March 24, 19Q0 {_ The interest rate will be five percent (5%) per annum, or approx- imately $3,400, on the unpaid balance. The property would be rented until it is needed for the L/H/N project. The attached management proforma indicates that there may be an annual operating loss of approximately $1,583. However, it is estimated that this property is increasing in value by twelve to eighteen percent per year, meaning that postponement of acquis- ition could significantly increase the HRA costs of ultimate acquisition. 6617 Graham Avenue ~ N The owner-occupant of this dwelling, Mr. Jon Pietig, is inter- ested in selling his property because of his uncertainties regard- ing the future of the area. The .property is located west of the Lyndale Hardware parking lot, within the area designated for multi-family development. Or- iginally, this two story structure was located near 66th Street on Lyndale Avenue. It was constructed in approximately 1920 and was moved to its present location in 1950. It contains 1650 square feet. The basement is partially finished, and on the first floor is a livingroom, dining room, kitchen, den and one-half bath. Two smaller areas are sunrooms. The second floor includes three bed- rooms and a full bath. A garage is located at the rear of the lot. Appraisals of the property have been completed. O. J. Janski and Associates appraised the property at $77,000: Mr. Don Hennessy, our review appraiser, also valued the property at $77,000. 'The relocation payment may be up to $16,000, making the estimated total acquisition and relocation costs equal to $93,000. To fund purchase of this property, it is recommended that the monies would be withdrawn from .the Tax Increment Reserve Fund. This fund contains not only the tax increment generated by the pro- ject, but also the land sale proceeds from the K-Mart site and Woodlake Development Company site. Because the increment from the project is greater than anticipated, use of a portion of the $662,533 from the sale of property will nut jeopardize our ability to meet the debt service schedule for the K-Mart bonded indebted- ness. The property wou ld also be rented until it was needed for re- development. The attached management proforma indicates that rev- enues from this property will exceed expenses. 738 West 66th Street ~~ This property is located on the "Godfather Block" and is owned by Mr. Jim Stanton. This area has been identified for HRA / acquisition and redevelopment, for commercial and/or multi-family purposes. The HRA currently owns no property in this block. - HRA Letter No. 7 -3- March 24, 1980 The "Godfather Block" area contains slightly more than six acres. Ownership is spread among only five persons (Gordon Strom 40%, the Godfather 27°s, Phillips Petroleum 22°s, Croswell 70 and Stanton Realty 4%). The property for sale is depicted on the attached map and represents only 4% of the total area. However, it is strategically located and is currently vacant, and there would be no relocation costs asosciated with the HRA's acquisition. If the property is not acquired now, the owner will probably rent it. Thus, by delay- ing acquisition, the value will increase, and future HRA acquisi- tion costs will be even higher, and relocation benefits will also possibly have to be paid. The proposed HRA interim use for the property would be to rent it. As with other commercial properties, the HRA would seek a ten- ant who would agree to pay an annual rent sufficient to meet our limited costs. The tenant would be responsible for all operating costs, as well as taxes of $3,000. The HRA would be responsible only for basic structural repairs. A management proforma for this property is attached. The building contains approximately 1,892 square feet on two floors, and has been primarily utilized as a real estate office. The first floor has six offices, a lobby, a conference-type room and a bathroom. The second floor has three offices and a bath. In the basement is a conference room and utility area, and a perking lot is adjacent. O.J. Janski and Associates have appraised the property at $85,00.0. Mr. Don Hennessy agrees with that valuation. It is proposed that acquisition of this property be financed by a PIR loan from the city with the three-year term, and five percent annual interest applied to previous PIR loans. Summary It is recommended that the HRA take the following actions: 1. Adopt the=attached resolutions, authorizing execution of a loan agreement with the city to provide funds from the PIR Fund for the purchase of properties at 709 Gra- ham and 738 W. 66th Street. The. same resolution estab- lishes just compensation and authorizes the staff to negotiate purchase of these properties. 2. Adopt the attached resolution setting just compensation and authorizing purchase of property at 6617 Graham Avenue, utilizing land proceed funds from the L/H/N Tax Increment Reserve Fund.

Luettznger Secretary HOUSI~dG AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Office of Executive Director HRA Letter No. 6 Agenda March 24, 1980 Housing and Redevelopment Authority Commissioners City of Richfield Commissioners: Subject: Establishment of Just Compensation and Authorization to Purchase 6615 Lake Shore Drive On May 29, 1979, the HRA received a request from Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Velasquez, requesting that the HRA purchase their home at 6615 Lake Shore Drive. This property is adjacent to the L/H/N project area. The HRA may legally purchase property only for public pur- ~~~ oses. A legally acceptable public purpose for acquiring tYiis .,~' roperty would be to provide housing for a large low-income ~.+~vfamily under our Section 8 program. The Velasquez property coul be occupied as a five bedroom house. The largest family which could occupy the home would be ten persons; two parents and four girls and four boys. This property does provide the HRA with a unique opportunity to help meet the housing needs of a large fam ily. The Metropolitan Council has estimated that Richfield is meeting only about 4 percent of the housing needs for large low- income families. On June 22, 1979, the Planning Commission considered this request to purchase the property at 6615 Lake Shore Drive. They determined that the proposed use of this property for low-income housing was in conformance with the City's comprehensive plan. j~ d Following this Planning Commission approval, the staff sought release of the CDBG-Year IV, monies which were to be used for this purchase. On December 12, 1979, we were notified that the De- partment of Housing and Urban Development had released the funds. The appraisal work required by HUD has now been completed. Newcombe & Hansen appraised the property at $89,000. O.J. Janski and Associates appraised it at $91,000, and the review appraiser, Mr. Donald Hennessy, has recommended setting just compensation at $91,000. .HRA Letter No. 6 -2- Alarch 24, 1980 The two story sturcture was built in 1951. It contains ap- proximately 2,348 square feet. The first floor has a kitchen,_in- formal dining area, bath, utility room and den which could be utilized as a bedroom. The second floor has four bedrooms, a main bath, and a half bath. There is a two car garage at the rear of the house. The estimated acquisition and relocation payments for this property are approximately $107,000. This includes $91,000 for purchase, and up to $16,000 for relocation benefits, including moving costs. Funding would be provided from the CDBG Veer -,-~,, Site Acquisition Fund of $100,000. The balance needed to complete the purchase would be transferred from the New Home Program to the Site Acquisition Fund. It is recommended that the HRA adopt the attached resolution, establishing just compensation for this property at $91,000, auth- orizing the staff to negotiate for the purchase of the property, and transferring the needed funds from the New Home Program to the Site Acquisition Fund.
