The Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Edina met. in special session at 7:00 p.m, in the Edina City Council Chambers. Present were Members Bredesen, Rich- ards, Schmidt, Turner and Courtney. MINUTES of August 3, 1981, were approved as submitted by motion of Member Bredesen, seconded by Member Schmidt. Ayes: Bredesen, Richards, Schmidt, Turner, Courtney Nays: None Motion carried. SENIOR CITIZEN RESIDENCE LAND PURCHASE AGREEMENTS AUTHORIZED. Mr. Hughes recalled that on July 6, 1981, the H.R.A. adopted a resolution authorizing the staff to pursue the acquisition of land for Senior Citizen Residence zoning which land is generally located West of York Ave. and North and South of Park- lawn Ave. extended. He recalled that the project proposes the construction of a 100 unit senior citizen building in which 70 of the units will be subsidized by the Section 8 Rent Assistance Program and the remaining units will be rented on a market rate basis. In order to complete the transaction on the . schedule required by the participants, Mr. Hughes asked that the H.R.A. auth- orize execution of purchase agreements, adopt a resolution establishing just compensation, and designating the developers and sponsors at this meeting. He explained that it is proposed that the Community Development and Planning Com- mission consider the overall development plan and final rezoning on September 2, 1981, that the Redevelopment Contract be drafted and negotiated with the developer between August 24 and September 15, that the Council and H.R.A. meet in joint session on September 21 to consider final rezoning approval and Redev- elopment Contract approval and that closing take place between September 21 and 30, 1981. Mr. Hughes recommended that the H.R.A. authorize purchase agree- ments based on the following major terms which have been negotiated with the property owners: Parcels A and B (Hedberg and Sons) - Purchase Parcels A and B for $3.00 per square foot for a total cost of $569,370; Hedberg and Sons would remove all sand and gravel from Parcel A prior to June, 1982; and remove all sand and gravel from Parcel B within six years; Parklawn Avenue right-of- way dedication to be granted at no cost. Parcel C (7500 York Associates) - Parcel B plus $50,000 would be conveyed to 7500 York Associates; the H.R.A. would assume all costs for improving Parklawn Ave. , which otherwise would be borne by 7500 York Associates. (This is anticipated to cost approximately $13,000.) ; The City will arrange for 15,000 yards of material to be left or placed on Parcel B for berming and landscaping purposes. Mr. Hughes clarified that the H.R.A. is acquiring six acres in order to net four acres of develop- able property. He explained that, although a "property assemblage" cost such as that paid to 7500 York Cooperative must be expected, the proposed purchase price, based on four acres of property and based on 100 units of multiple dwell- ing housing, must be analyzed with the total proposed purchase price being $632,370. He said that this equates to approximately $3.60 per square foot or $6,325 per dwelling unit. The H.R.A. was advised that this is consistent with the appraisal of the property and the increase from $3.00 to $3.60 per foot is basicly caused by payments to 7500 York Cooperative. Mr. Hughes pointed out that the H.R.A. is dealing with reluctant or unwilling sellers and recommended that the H.R.A. evaluate its prospects in a condemnation proceeding. He said that he does not believe that better settlements can be reached in a condemna- tion proceeding and recommended that the H.R.A. authorize execution of purchase agreements as outlined. No discussion being heard, Member Turner offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PURCHASE AGREEMENTS BE IT RESOLVED that the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority does hereby authorize the Purchase Agreements for the following described property: Outlot A, Ebenezer Society 1st Addition, and the West one-half of the Northwest one-quarter of the Northeast one-quarter of Section 32, Town- ship 28, Range 24; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chairman and Secretary of the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority are hereby authorized and directed to enter into said purchase agreements.
