DATE: April 30, 2015
TO: Anne Norris, Executive Director (for May 5 EDA meeting)
SUBJECT: Consider tentative acceptance of proposal and authorizing an Option

Novak -Fleck has submitted a proposal to option the lot at 5255 Edgewood Avenue North. The
option duration would be 6 months for $500 and is renewable for another 6 months for an
additional $500. The lot price is $50,000. Novak -Fleck is a state -licensed residential building
contractor with no enforcement actions.
Attached are a 2012 aerial photo, builder's proposal form, and preliminary site and house
plans for a split entry home. It would have 1,237 sq. ft. on the upper level, with an open living -
dining -kitchen area, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It would also have 1,144 unfinished
sq. ft. on the lower level, which could be finished in the future with two bedrooms, one
bathroom and a very large family room. The house would be essentially identical to one
completed and sold in 2014 at 4720 Douglas Dr.
The required public hearing would be scheduled at such time as the builder decides to
exercise the option.
REQUESTED EDA ACTION: EDA tentative approval of the plans and authorization of an
option agreement with Novak -Fleck for the EDA lot at 5255 Edgewood Avenue North.

PROPOSALFORM
PROPOSAL TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF CRYSTAL
6255 EDGEWOOD AVENUE NORTH
CHECK ONE:
_ BUILDER OFFERS $50,000 TO PURCHASE THIS LOT
BUILDER OFFERS $500 FOR A SIX-MONTH OPTION TO PURCHASE THIS LOT FOR $50,000
This proposal is not a purchase agreement or other binding contract. At this time, the Builder is submitting a proposal to
purchase this lot and build a new single family house in accordance with -the RFP Guidelines, or is requesting a six-month
option for same.
If a builder's proposal is tentativeiy accepted by the EDA board, then EDA staff would work with the Builder to determine
the specific house plan and present it at the next EDA meeting. If the EDA board gives final approval at that time, the
Builder would sign a Purchase & Redevelopment Agreement and provide $2,000 earnest money for the lot. Only after such
an Agreement is signed would a binding contract exist between the EDA and the Builder.
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
process, 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: No builder may have options on more than 10%
of the EDA's lots, and no more than 50% of the FDA's lots may be under option at any time.

after a proposal is tentatively accepted by the EDA.
❑ The EDA will only sell lots to builders who have experience in house construction in Minnesota. Please list the
