III. DISCUSSION ITEM 5-2016 – USE OF VACANT PARCEL AT 71ST AND XERXES Economic Development Manager Neuendorf explained the City of Edina owns a 0.51 acre vacant parcel immediately south Hennepin County’s property at 7001 York Avenue. The County intends to consider proposals to redevelop their 8-acre site in summer 2017. The intended outcome is a new regional library facility that is well integrated with additional revenue-generating development that creates a successful and desirable destination for the communities served. The City-owned parcel is currently vacant but has a configuration and location that is nearly unbuildable. The parcel could possibly serve as a green space that connects the Hennepin County site to Adams Hill Park and Promenade Park. Alternatively, it could serve as a linear park configured with new landscaping and trees. Would the HRA allow this vacant parcel to be included in the preliminary site concepts and identified in the RFQ/RFP to be issue in Spring 2017. Consensus was to allow inclusion in the RFQ/RFP but make sure it cannot be counted as part of the developer’s green space. IV. PUBLIC FINANCNG OPTIONS – TAX ABATEMENT Economic Development Manager Neuendorf explained Minnesota statutes provided a few options for public financing. Edina has used Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) on a few occasions. A lesser known tool was Tax Abatement. An overview of this tool was provided in case there was interest in considering using abatement in the future. The HRA and staff discussed the types of projects where using tax abatement would make sense, the challenges of potentially using abatement. Staff will prepare a draft tax abatement policy for review in the first or second quarter of 2017. IV.

RESOLUTION NO. 2016-07: NAMING BUHL INVESTORS/SATURDAY PROPERTIES AS PREFERRED DEVELOPMENT PARTNER FOR 3030 WEST 49-1/2 STREET AND ADJACENT PARCELS City Manager Neal and Economic Development Manager Neuendorf explained the Resolution pertained to the potential redevelopment of publicly-owned parcels located in the 50th and France Commercial District, but only to the potential real estate transaction. The land use approvals will be considered by the Planning Commission and City Council separately from the real estate transaction. Commissioner Swenson made a motion that was seconded by Commissioner Staunton to adopt Resolution No. 2016-07 naming Buhl Investors/Saturday Properties as Preferred Development Partner for 3930 West 49-1/2 Street and Adjacent parcels; and authorizing staff to begin negotiations with the development partner.
