OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE
EDINA HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY HELD AT CITY HALL
SEPTEMBER 28, 1999 - 5:30 P.M.
ROLLCALL Answering rollcall were Commissioners Faust, Hovland, Johnson, and Chair Maetzold.
Commissioner Kelly entered the meeting at 6:50 p.m.
Chair Maetzold stated the purpose of the special meeting was to allow the five finalists to present a
more detailed presentation of their redevelopment proposals for the Kunz/Lewis site. He said each
developer would have twenty minutes to present followed by ten minutes of questions. Each
developer had been sent a letter suggesting the presentation focus on the following:
• Reasons for including (or not including) properties not now owned by the HRA and
developer's willingness to include additional properties if available;
• Why their proposal represents the highest and best use of the property;
• An overview of the HRA's financial participation in the development;
• Development schedule and any impediments in meeting said schedule;
• Strengths of the development team.
Chair Maetzold added that after the presentations the HRA would briefly discuss the redevelopment.
The HRA heard the following five redevelopment proposals asking questions of each:
• Edenmoor- Frauenshuh Companies
• • Eden Village Redevelopment - Jerry's Enterprises, Laukka-Jarvis, Inc. & Namron
Company LLC
• Grandview Square - Opus Northwest, L.L.C. & Ron Clark Construction
• Marriott Senior Living Services and Haugland Company
• The Residences at Grandview- Stuart Companies
Chair Maetzold thanked the presenters on behalf of the HRA. The HRA briefly discussed: timing of
further study and analysis of the proposals; the process to follow in analyzing proposals; and
concerns relative to the redevelopment. Consensus of the HRA was that the Marriott/Haugland
proposal would not answer the redevelopment goals for the Kunz/Lewis site, staff should work with
their financial analyst from Ehlers to conduct a thorough review of each proposal; the HRA will hold
a conceptual discussion of the redevelopment at their meeting on October 5, 1999, and a public
hearing at their meeting on October 19, 1999.
Motion by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Kelly selecting Edenmoor by
Frauenshuh Companies, Eden Village Redevelopment by Jerry's Enterprises, Laukka-Jarvis,
Inc. & Namron Company L.L.C., Grandview Square by Opus Northwest, L.L.C. & Ron Clark
Construction; and The Residences at Grandview by Stuart Companies as the four finalists
for redevelopment of the Kunz/Lewis site; and setting October 19, 1999, for a public hearing
on the redevelopment.
There being no further business on the HRA Agenda, Chair Maetzold declared the meeting
adjourned at 8:55 p.m.
