COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Possible BNSF-CP Freight Rail Connector Track FROM: John Sutter, City Planner/Assistant Community Development Director� DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: Patrick Peters, Community Development Director DATE TO: January 14, 2015 Anne Norris, City Manager (for January 20, 2015 work session) SUBJECT: Discuss potential BNSF-CP freight rail connector track in the 5100 block of West Broadway City staff has indirectly learned that the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) and Canadian Pacific (CP) railroads are proposing to construct a connector track in the southwest quadrant of their "diamond" crossing in Crystal. An aerial photo showing the general vicinity is attached. Please note that staff does not know the alignment of the proposed connector track. At this time the railroads have only acknowledged that they are exploring the feasibility of such a connection and its general location. Despite repeated requests from staff they have not provided any more information. Last week the railroads expressed their interest in meeting with staff to share more information, but they are having trouble coordinating schedules on their end. Hopefully this meeting will occur before the work session on January 20 so staff will have more information to report to the Council. In the meantime, based on information received by staff from third parties, it appears that the following properties may be directly affected by the railroads' need to purchase right-of-way for the proposed connector track: • 5170 West Broadway (Thomas Auto Body/North Suburban Towing) • 5160 West Broadway (Midwest MasterCraft) • 5140 West Broadway (Red Rooster Auto Parts) Apart from the property impacts, the connector track may significantly increase the length and frequency of freight trains running on the BNSF track extending south through Robbinsdale and Golden Valley into Minneapolis. It is possible that the primary purpose of the connection would be to divert CP freight trains to the BNSF track. Staff's understanding is that the frequent freight trains currently running on the CP track may be as long as 100 cars (4,000 feet) compared to the much shorter and less frequent trains currently running on the BNSF track. PAGE 1 OF 2 At this time, based on this limited information, staff has the following preliminary concerns: • On the CP track, if trains using the new connector track have to slow down to make the curve, then vehicle delays at the Douglas Dr and West Broadway crossings may be even greater than what presently occurs. • On the BNSF track, if the length of trains increase by, say, a factor of 10, for example from 10-car trains to 100-car trains, then the vehicle delays at the Corvallis and West Broadway crossings may also increase by a factor of 10. • If the trains diverted onto the BNSF track would be as long as current CP freights, then all of the Crystal crossings - Douglas Dr (CP), West Broadway (CP), Corvallis (BNSF) and West Broadway (BNSF) - could be closed by a single train. • Taken together, these grade crossing effects may negatively impact police, fire and EMT services and response times in Crystal. • While the BNSF track predates the development of Crystal, it has not seen anything like the level of activity that may occur if CP freights are diverted onto the BNSF. The negative impact on adjacent neighborhoods and businesses could be significant. Again, at this time staff has received no information about the proposed connector track directly from the railroads. The purpose of this work session item is to make the Council aware of this proposed freight rail project and its potential impacts. Staff hopes to be able to provide more information at the January 20 work session. PAGE 2 OF 2 � Z w�r�,x� , ' ` r � y'J I �r� f 1�„ p < �.� f . �b ♦ (� 9 � f ya tfi �� 1 �S - �4 �i 'Y �.

Many businesses have an extra water meter to measure water used for irrigation separately from water used by the business. There are two ways the irrigation meter may be plumbed into the water line. There is a different way of setting up the account on the utility billing system depending upon how the irrigation water meter is plumbed. In this case, the account was set up on the utility bi�ling system the wrong way for how the irrigation meter was plumbed. This resulted in the account being overbilled for several years.

It operates under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 469, and has powers similar to a Housing & Redevelopment Authority. For residential property, EDA activities generally involve using voluntary acquisitions to replace blighted, structurally substandard or functionally obsolete houses; or providing assistance to homeowners to help them make improvements to their houses. Multi- family and commercial/industrial redevelopment are typically accomplished in larger, more complex projects made possible by a combination of different funding sources; they also sometimes require participation by multiple government agencies, non-profit organizations and businesses. As in previous years, the EDA recommended and the Council approved an EDA levy to provide funding for redevelopment activities. The following are specific descriptions of 2014 EDA activities: Sinqle Familv Residential - Scattered Site Redevelopment 6 lots were sold in 2013. As of December 31, 2014 three houses have been completed and sold, two are under construction and one is scheduled to start construction in 2015. a) Lots Sold in 2014: 1. 4326 Zane (acquired 2002) — house construction to occur in 2015 2. 5824 Regent (acquired 2008) — house under construction, for sale 3. 4349 Xenia (acquired 2012) — house under construction, has buyer 4. 4720 Douglas Dr (acquired 2012) — house completed & sold 5. 5335 Corvallis (acquired 2012) — house completed & sold 6. 5332 50th (acquired 2012) — house completed & sold b) EDA Lots for Sale as of December 31 2014: 1. 5626 Vera Cruz (acquired 2007) 2. 3533 Lee (acquired 2008) 3. 4331 Vera Cruz (acquired 2008) — sale pending to MT Builders 4. 5700 Regent (acquired 2009) PAGE 1 OF 4 2. 3 C� �_ ��r�: �� ° �� . �� z� 5. 5255 Edgewood (acquired 2009) 6. 5715 Regent (acquired 2009) 7. 4901 Vera Cruz (acquired 2009) 8. 6601 62"d (acquired 2012) 9. 5924 Elmhurst (acquired 2012) Lot sales from 1998-2014 are summarized in the attached Exhibits A(map) and B(chart), with detailed information about 2010-2014 lot sales in Exhibit C. Sinqle Familv Residential - Scattered Site Acquisition and Rehabilitation The EDA does not acquire and renovate houses because city-managed rehab projects are not a very cost-effective way of advancing the city's housing goals when compared with other approaches. Instead, the city utilizes a combination of regulatory tools, rehab incentives, and other agencies' programs to encourage home renovations by homeowners, investors, contractors and others in the private sector. Sinqle Familv Residential - Home Improvement Incentive Rebates In 1998, Crystal and four other communities partnered with the Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) to provide an incentive rebate for improvements to owner occupied homes. Households up to 120% of Twin Cities metropolitan area median income are eligible. Approximately 75% of program expenses are funded by available increment from expiring TIF districts and the other 25% are funded by the EDA levy. 99 Crystal homeowners used the rebate program in 2014. The expenditure history and approximate 2014 locations are shown in Exhibit D. The total and average 2014 rebates are as follows: TOTAL 2014 REBATES $136, 392 AVERAGE 2014 REBATE $1,378 TOTAL PAI D BY + HOMEOWNERS $827,110 AVERAGE PAID BY HOMEOWNER = $8,355 Sinqle Familv Residential — Communitv Fix-Up Fund TOTAL COST OF ALL 2014 PROJECTS $963,502 AVERAGE COST PER 2014 PROJECT $9,733 The EDA and the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency provide an interest rate write-down for Community Fix-Up Fund home improvement loans. In 2014 there PAGE20F4 �� I�' / were 17 Crystal projects receiving a total of $48,170 from state funds and $37,535 in available increment from Crystal's expiring TIF districts. 5. Sinqle Familv Residential — Deferred Home Improvement Loans Since 1982, Crystal has used part of its federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation to provide interest-free home improvement loans to fow income homeowners (up to 50% of regional median income). Repayment is deferred for 15 years and then forgiven if the recipient continues to own and occupy the property throughout that time. Homeowners from 50%-80% of regional median income are also eligible but those loans are interest-bearing. Hennepin County administers this program for Crystal and eight other cities (Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Edina, Hopkins, Maple Grove, New Hope, Richfield and St. Louis Park). Crystal's 2014 CDBG allocation was $107,956 and 100% was allocated to this program. In addition to the allocation, the program also recaptures previously loaned funds in cases where the homeowner sells or moves out within the 15 year term. This means that available funding fluctuates within and between each year. Demand for the program also fluctuates, meaning that eligible projects must sometimes be put on a waiting list until the next round of funding becomes available. The twelve months ending September 30, 2014 were unusually active. $106,000 was spent and $199,000 was committed for projects. Eight projects were started, two projects were completed and one property is on the waiting list. Of the eight other Hennepin County cities with similar programs, only Richfield had more activity than Crystal. 6. Multi-Familv Residential Redevelopment The Cavanagh (5401 51St Avenue North). In October 2012 the EDA acquired the 8.3 acre Cavanagh property from Robbinsdale Area Schools which had determined that it no longer needed the property. In December 2012 the EDA transferred the east 4 acres to the city for park purposes. In April 2013 the EDA completed the demolition of the school with funding from Metropolitan Council for asbestos abatement and Hennepin County for demolition. In June 2014 the EDA sold the west 4.3 acres to a private developer (Dominium) for construction of affordable senior housing ("The Cavanagh"). It will be a four story, 130 unit, age-restricted rental building addressed as 5401 51St Avenue North. Units will range from 1 BR-1 BA to 2BR-2BA and all units will be affordable to households at or below 60% of Twin Cities metropolitan area median income. Construction of The Cavanagh began in summer 2014 and completion is anticipated in fall 2015. The approved plan for The Cavanagh is attached as Exhibit E. PAGE30F4 � � �� ° � � 7. Commercial and Industrial Redevelopment No EDA-involved development activity in 2014. 8. Land Bankinq for Future Redevelopment In addition to the more immediate redevelopment activities discussed in Section 1, the EDA also takes advantage of opportunities to acquire and hold property for future development. These parcels will be sold depending on market conditions, site characteristics and the status of adjacent properties. As of December 31, 2014 the EDA is holding the following vacant parcels for future development: 1. 3240 Hampshire (acquired 2000) 2. 3556 Major (acquired 2002 - private donation) 3. 3409 June (acquired 2003 - tax forFeit) 4. 3122 Douglas Dr (acquired 2003) 5. 5901 56th (acquired 2008) 6. 4824 56t" (acquired 2009) 7. 4741 Welcome (acquired 2009) 8. 3401, 3415 and 3443 Douglas Dr (acquired 2009) 9. 5417 35t" (acquired 2010) 10. 5565 Vera Cruz (acquired 2011 - tax forfeit) 11. 3354 Douglas Dr and 6213 34th (acquired 2011) 12. 3443 Edgewood (acquired 2012 - tax forFeit) A map of city and EDA-owned parcels as of December 31, 2014 is attached as Exhibit F.

Deferred Home Improvement Loans (administered by Hennepin County) $108,000 planned expenditures from Community Development Block Grant) This ongoing program is administered by�Hennepin County and offers no-interest loans to Crystal homeowners below 50% of Twin Cities area median income ("AMI"). The anticipated funding level would typically allow four projects in Crystal per year, although this fluctuates from year to year depending on a number of factors. The loans are fully forgiven after 15 years provided the homeowner continues to own and occupy the property. If the homeowner sells or moves, then the loan becomes due and payable in full, and the recaptured funds go back into the program to assist other homeowners. Also available are deferred loans with a modest interest charge for homeowners between 50% and 80% AMI, but these are funded by other sources. The county's administrative costs are embedded within overall CDBG funding. 2. Home Improvement Incentive Rebates (administered by GMHC) $232,000 planned expenditures • $209,800 from TIF Housing Districts • $22,200 from EDA Fund This ongoing program offers a rebate for homeowners who complete home improvement projects. The program is administered by the non-profit Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation ("GMHC") at its Housing Resource Center located at 2148 44th Avenue North in Minneapolis. Homeowners with household income less than 50% of Twin Cities area median income ("AMI") qualify for a 20% rebate, 50%-80% AMI qualify for a 15% rebate and 80%-120% AMI qualify for a 10% rebate. Households over 120% AMI are not eligible. The application must be made before beginning the project and the project must have a total cost of at least $2,000. No property may receive rebates totaling more than $10,000 in one year. Administrative fees paid to GMHC are 11 % of the rebates paid and the admin fees are included in the planned expenditures figure above. Please note that actual expenditures may be less than planned depending on program demand. Note: Twin Cities area median income ("AMI ") was $82, 900 in 2014. PAGE 1 OF 2 3. Communitv Fix-Up Fund Interest Rate Buv-Down (administered by GMHC) $25,000 planned expenditures •$12,500 from Minnesota Housing Finance Agency � $12,500 from TIF Housing Districts This program writes down the interest rate for Crystal homeowners using Community Fix-Up Fund loans from GMHC's Housing Resource Center. Minimum loan is $2,000; maximum is $35,000. Maximum loan-to-value ratio is 110% of the after-rehab value. Maximum loan term is 10 years (for loans up to $10,000) or 20 years (for loans over $10,000). The interest rate, normally 5.75%, is discounted to 3%. Maximum household income is 80% of Twin Cities area median income ("AMI") for state funds and 115% AMI for the EDA's TIF funds. There are no administrative costs for the EDA. 4. Scattered Site Acquisition/Demolition and Lot Sales $110,000 planned expenditures from EDA Fund $140,000 planned revenues to EDA Fund This would be a continuation of the city's longstanding acquisition, demolition and lot sale program. The adopted budgets are based on two properties being acquired/demolished and three lots being sold for new house construction, although actual property purchases and sales would depend on market conditions and each transaction requires specific EDA board approval. As opportunities arise, additional property acquisitions may be authorized by the EDA using the fund balance. The initial 2015 lot notice is attached. 5. Other Redevelopment The Cavanagh (5401 51 St Avenue North) will be a four story, 130 unit, age- restricted rental building addressed as 5401 51St Avenue North. Unit sizes will range from 1 BR-1 BA to 2BR-2BA and all units will be affordable to households at or below 60% of Twin Cities area median income. The EDA sold the 4.3 acre site to Dominium in June 2014. Construction is underway and completion is anticipated by fall 2015. 6. Redevelopment Fund Balance The EDA board may authorize expenditure of part of its fund balances during the year to respond to unforeseen opportunities. The amount available at any particular time cannot be predicted because the fund balance varies throughout the year depending on actual expenditures and revenue from unanticipated property sales. Note: Twin Cities area median income ("AMI') was $82, 900 in 2014.

For more information, please see the Request for Proposal packets which may be found by clicking on "EDA Lots for Sale" under "What's Happening" at www.crvstalmn.qov. PAGE 1 OF 2 NOTES SPECIFIC TO PARTICULAR LOTS: 1 The existing house may still be present but demolition is in the works. This lot is mapped by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) as being within the Crystal Airport's 60 DNL noise contour forecast for the year 2025. This is the lowest-level noise contour mapped by MAC in its plan for this 2 airport. Builders are encouraged but not required to construct the house in accordance with the Builders Guide available from Metropolitan Council. This lot is not located in a Runway Protection Zone or Safety Zone for the Crystal Airport. This lot is adjacent to another EDA lot but both lots shall remain separate lots for construction of a single family 3 house on each lot. The EDA will not consider proposals to combine the lots or build a duplex. These adjacent lots do not need to be purchased (or optioned) by the same builder. 4 Due to narrow lot width and the presence of an alley, the garage must be accessed from the alley not the street. GENERAL NOTES: The EDA considers proposals on a"first-come, first-served" basis. The EDA board retains absolute discretion to decide whether to accept any particular proposal or waive any of its guidelines. Proposals must be submitted by state-licensed builders who have built at least three houses in Minnesota in the last five years, or have equivalent experience acceptable to the EDA. The house may be built speculatively or for a specific buyer. If you would be the house buyer, then your builder must submit the proposal; and if the proposal is accepted, then the EDA would sell the lot to your builder. The new house must be an owner-occupied, single family house. It must have at least three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car garage (attached or detached, depending on the site). On a case-by-case basis, the EDA may also consider the sale of a lot to provide a new location for an existing house currently located in Crystal. The moved house would have to meet the general requirements described above, be brought up to current codes, and have a final value and long-term viability comparable to a new house. Builders may purchase a 6-month option on a lot for $500, renewable for an additional 6 months for an additional $500. The option provides the builder with exclusive rights to purchase the lot and build a house subject to the normal EDA requirements and guidelines. As a condition of the option, the builder must list the lot with a to-be-built house on the MLS for the duration of the option. The number of options is limited: The EDA will not approve additional options for a builder if they already have more than 10% of the EDA's lots under option, and no more than 50% of the EDA's lots may be under option at any time.

The subject property is vacant land owned by Hennepin County. In September 2014 the EDA authorized the purchase of this property for a price not to exceed $25,000. Staff negotiated a $20,000 price with the county and we expect to close in late January. For background please see the attached 2012 aerial photo and September staff report text. On the back of the property there are some garden encroachments, a misaligned fence and a shed under a power line. These improvements were built by the prior owner of 4724 Lakeland but have since been taken over to some degree by the adjacent neighbors at 4725 and 4733 Regent. The presence of these improvements, and the visual encroachment they represent, is one of the factors that may have made it difficult for the county to sell the lot. In order to clean up this part of the lot, the EDA needs to remove these improvements and install a new fence along the actual lot line. This was the primary basis for the county's willingness to reduce the price for the EDA. Please see the attached Scenario A and property survey. As an alternative to clearing out this area, staff has explored the possibility of replatting the lot to create two outlots to be sold to the respective neighboring property owner on Regent. Please see the attached Scenario B and sketch of the proposed plat. The price that the neighbors would be required to pay for the outlots would cover the additional costs related to replatting the property and an estimated $3,000 reduction in the lot sale price for 4724 Lakeland when it is sold for new home construction. In the end, the net revenue to the EDA for Scenarios A and B is roughly the same. Both of the neighbors on Regent are interested in purchasing the respective outlot abutting their property should the EDA decide to proceed with Scenario B. The EDA is asked to discuss these scenarios. If there is no objection to proceeding with Scenario B, then at the February 17 meeting staff would seek EDA authorization to prepare the plat and hold a public hearing to consider selling the two outlots to the adjacent owners. It is anticipated that the plat would go to the Planning Commission on April 13, City Council on April 21 and be recorded by the end of April. After the plat is recorded, the outlots would be sold to the neighbors and we would add 4724 Lakeland to the lot list.

In 2012-2013 the county estimated the lot's value at $25,000-$30,000 and tried to sell the lot through its auction process with no success. In late 2013 the county began exploring the possibility of moving a house from one of its other road acquisitions onto this lot, but abandoned that idea in 2014. As this time the county does not know what their next step will be with this lot and has invited the city to make an offer. The following Exhibits are attached: A. 2012 aerial photo B. 2012 Henn Co property disposition map C. 2014 Henn Co survey for house move-in D. Mark-up of 2014 survey (house move-in deleted) E. Proposed resolution STAFF COMMENTS The subject property has an average depth of approximately 150 feet, a width of approximately 86 feet and contains 13,215 sq. ft. (0.3 acre) after deducting approximately 4,000 sq. ft. for the new road easement. The resulting lot meets zoning requirements for width, depth and area. PAGE 1 OF 2 Staff opinion is that the EDA is much better positioned than the county to get this publicly-owned lot sold, built on, and back on the tax rolls sooner rather than later. The EDA has a track record of selling lots for new home construction whereas the county does not. The estimated budget presumes a purchase price of $25,000 and a lot sale price of $50,000 with estimated net revenue of $9,750: ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES $25,000 Purchase of property from Hennepin County $ 5,000 Install new sewer service $ 3,000 tree & stump removal, other property prep work $ 3,000 legal, title & closing costs $ 700 other administrative costs $ 500 holding costs $ 3,050 contingency/unforeseen (25% of items above except acquisition) $40,250 TOTAL EXPENDITURES ESTIMATED REVENUE $50,000 Lot Sale $ 9,750 ESTIMATED NET REVENUE C.

No. 24992 slsg-18-20-fb106350inv83415.dwg .�■ EDA STAFF REPORT Status of 4553 Yates FROM: John Sutter, City Planner/Assistant Community Development Director DATE: TO SUBJECT: January 15, 2015 Anne Norris, Executive Director (for January 20 EDA work session) Status update on 4553 Yates The EDA authorized the sale of this lot to Berger Built Construction in May 2013 for $40,000. Berger closed on the lot in December 2013. Berger has been unable to secure financing to build the proposed spec home (see attachments) and has been waiting for a committed homebuyer before beginning construction. Berger is in default of the Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement because he has not yet started, let alone completed, the house as required by the agreement. Normally the EDA provides one year after the lot sale for the house to be completed, and obviously that time has passed. The Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement between the EDA and Berger includes a standard reverter clause which gives the EDA the right to retake title to the, property if the builder fails to perform. If the EDA were to exercise its reverter, Berger would be paid the $40,000 less EDA costs. It is important to note that the EDA gave significant concessions when it authorized the sale of this lot to Berger, including lowering the lot price from $45,000 to $40,000 and agreeing to close the existing curb cut on 46th and install a new curb cut on Yates. Since 2013, demand for new homes in the Welcome Park neighborhood seems to have strengthened. Staff opinion is that, if the EDA were to retake title to this lot, it should be priced at $45,000 with no concessions. The EDA is asked to discuss how it wants to proceed, specifically as it pertains to exercising the reverter clause and retaking title in accordance with the Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement.
