ITEM CONSIDERED CONCURRENTLY HY CITY COUNCIL AND HRA: Item #1B CONSIDERATION OF CONCEPTUAL ACCEPTANCE OF SHOPS AT LYNDALS REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL, ILN. C.L. NO. 90, HRA LETTER NO. 24 David Ca~°land and Gam' Tu Maio prc cantod tine CSM C®rps~rati©~. concept proposal for a retail redevelopment project in the area bounded by Lyndale Avenue, Emerson Avenue, I-494 and 77th Street. The concept provides for the redevelopment of the area into 231,000 square feet of retail space in two stages. Phase I would consist of 114,500 square feet of retail between Emerson and Colfax Avenues and related parking. Demolition and construction would begin this summer. Phase II between Colfax and Lyndale Avenues would follow in 1995 and consist of 116,500 square feet of retail and related parking. The anticipated Phase I tenants would be Best Buy, CompUSA, and Sportmart. The anticipated Phase II anchor tenants would include a restaurant, Linen'n'Things, and Petsmart. CSM proposes to relocate the Emerson Avenue Congregational Church to part of the Cloverleaf site. The market appears to provide a window of opportunity for this project. However, CSM stated that pay-as-you-go Tax Increment Financing (T.I.F.) assistance is necessary for the project to be feasible. Sid Inman, Publicorp, Inc., reviewed the financial feasibility of the project proposal relating to tax increment financing, fiscal disparities, developer equity, construction costs, rents, management fees, and rate of return on equity. He concluded that the proposal seemed feasible and appropriate. Council Member Priebe questioned the T.I.F. rate relationship to future value changes and the difference from previous T.I.F. projects in receipt of the increment. Mr. Inman reviewed the statute changes which impacted the T.I.F. process. He stated the net impact of increased future value on the increment would be zero. Council Meeting Minutes -3- March 28, 1994 Community Services Director Fondrick reviewed the publio infrastructure issues related to the proposed project. He indicated the need to establish the storm sewer alignment through the site prior to construction. Council Member Priebe asked about the objections of those circulating a petition related to the 77th Street storm sewer connection to Wood Lake. Community Services Director Fondrick stated that all the required approvals had been granted after review by the required ,jurisdictions. He stated the issues had been raised and discussed during the review process. City Manager Prosser reviewed the impact on funding, timing, and construction-for the 77th Street related storm sewer work resulting from the proposed fast track of development. Dave Phillips, architect for Richfield Mitsubishi, stated concerns that they were planning some improvements to their current building and were not contacted by CSM about the proposed development which would .displace their business. City Manager Prosser indicated CSM had initiated contact with property owners about the project, several newspaper articles had appeared describing the proposal, and several meetings had occurred related to the proposal. Gordon Anderson, 7501 Elliot Avenue, suggested that more time for public input and further study is needed before the Council considers this project. Jim Miller, owner of Twin City Tire, spoke in opposition to the project stating concerns about the negative impact of displacing the existing businesses, the high rents of the proposed project, and lack of notification about the project. He suggested the project be tabled to allow time to find a way to keep the existing businesses in the area. Ed McMenomy, real estate agent representing Bob Adelman, stated he was Mayor of Rosemount and that Rosemount had relocated several small businesses for the development of a National Guard Armory. He cautioned the Council that the legal and relocation costs for this type of project are very high. Nick Vossberg, 6340 Standish Avenue, spoke in opposition to the proposal calling it a yuppie shopping center and stated concern about losing local tire and automotive related stores. John Kenneally, 6400 Blaisdell Avenue, representing the Richfield Chamber of Commerce, stated that the Chamber Board of Directors had unanimously passed a resolution in support of the CSM Shops at Lyndale project proposal. Council Meeting Minutes -4- ~ lrtaarch 28, 1994 Gloria Anton, owner of Vivarium Pets at 6519 Nicollet Avenue, spoke in opposition to the proposal citing concerns about the impact on-small independent businesses. Mike MaCann, attorney representing Bob Adelman, spoke in opposition to the proposal suggesting that the existing ' businesses would like an opportunity to meet with the City and HRA to look at developing their own plan for improving the area. Mary Brown, 7733 Emerson Avenu®, spoke in opposition to the proposal expressing her desire to ®tay in her reasonably priced apartment and her opposition to being relocated. Kevin Lewis, owner of Ridge Door Sales & Service Znc., 902 Test 77 1/Z Street, spoke in opposition to the proposal indicating his desire to stay at his current location. Ann Hultman, 1112 West 78th Street, spoke in opposition to the proposal citing the desire not to relocate from her apartment. David Carlin, CSM, reviewed the contacts with area property ©wnc~z~ iyn~licatin¢J that some of the oc,~aners a~kea~ CSM nmt to contact the tenants, therefore, some landlords may not have notified tenants about the proposal. Terry Feldmann, owner of the Richfield Mitsubishi property, spoke in opposition to the proposal indicating that when he told the developer he wasn't .interested in selling, he was told he then would have to deal with the City. Mr. Feldmann suggested waiting to allow more time to look at what to do in the area. Mark O'Brien, Richfield Mitsubishi owner, spoke in opposition to the proposal and indicated that Mr. .Feldmann had offered to make $125,000 of improvements to the Richfield Mitsubishi building. Betty Morton and Jean Kramer, 7733 Emerson Avenue , suggested new development be built around the existing businesses so they can remain. HRA Commissioner Luettinger stated that he had been inclined to support the concept proposal but was concerned that some of the business owners and tenants appeared to not have been aware of the proposal until now. Council Member/HRA Commissioner Susag stated that this area was a Tax Increment Finance (T.I.F.) District-for which additional development was needed. He stated during his campaign the community had voiced strong support for increasing the commercial tax base. He said he was stunned at the opposition-to the proposal. Council Meeting Minutes -5- March 28, 1994 Council Member/HRA Commissioner Sandahl stated that the status quo was not a good option. He stated any redevelopment will have some. negative impact on the existing businesses since change will occur. He stated the increase in tax base was important and beneficial to the community as a whole. Therefore, it is important to move forward to redevelop the area. HRA Chair Harms noted that the community endorsed the ILN Redevelopment Plan which envisioned redevelopment of the area. He stated that the area has been waiting ten years for redevelopment. HRA Commissioner Helmberger stated that on balance the project was the best for the City as a whole. M/Harms, S/Sandahl that the HRA suptwrts on a conceptual basis the Shops at Lvndale Redevelopment concevt ~ro~osed by CSM Corporation. Motion carried 5-~. HRA/City Attorney Dean summarized the relocation process and obligations of the HRA. Council Member Rosenberg stated that this was a difficult decision and that she had concerns about the creditability of CSM in dealing with the businesses and tenants. She stated she could not support the project and believed that in the future better proposals from other developers are likely. •. Council Member Priebe stated concerns about the limited areas with redevelopment potential in the Richfield, therefore there is a need to maximize development on these sites. He stated he felt this site had a great potential for a higher level and value of development than this proposal, therefore he would not support the CSM pro~~ect. He indicated it would be preferable to develop the Cloverleaf site first and then fill this area in with a compatible development. Council Member Susag spoke in support of the CSM proposal stating this was an appropriate project for redevelopment of the T.I.F. district at this time. Mayor Kirsch reviewed the original opposition to the LHN Redevelopment and the benefit to the community which resulted from that redevelopment. He stated that the purpose of the 77th Street Reconstruction Project was to stimulate redevelopment along I-494, increase the tax base, and separate the commercial from the residential area. He noted the support of the Richfield Chamber of Commerce for the CSM Project and the opportunity to move forward with the redevelopment of the _ILN area.
