SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Consider a resolution authorizing the sale of lot at 4724
Lakeland Avenue North to Joe Meyer Homes for construction of a new
house
Joe Meyer Homes, a Minnesota Residential Building Contractor with no enforcem ent actions,
has submitted a proposal to purchase the lot at 4724 Lakeland Avenue North for $55,000.
The EDA tentatively accepted the builder’s proposal on December 6, 2016, and authorized a n
Option Agreement with Joe Meyer Homes. On February 27, 2017, Joe Meyer Homes notified
staff that they would like to exercise their option to purchase the property. The site plan and
house plans have not changed since the December 6 th meeting.
Attached are an aerial photo, builder’s proposal form, and preliminary site and house plan for
a new one-story home with an attached two car garage. The builder has a buyer for the
home. The house would have approximately 2,460 finished square feet on the main level with
an open living-dining-kitchen area, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is a 2,460 SF
basement which the builder does not plan to finish. However the basement floor plan does
show the required future rough-in for a ¾ bath and an additional future bedroom. A future
homeowner could finish the basement wi th additional bedrooms, a laundry room, family room,
or other rooms.
For 4724 Lakeland, if on April 4 the EDA adopts the attached resolution, then the lot sale
would close in April. Construction would begin after closing with completion anticipated by late
2017.
REQUESTED EDA ACTION: After holding the public hearing and receiving any testimony,
consider adopting the attached resolution authorizing the property sale of 4724 Lakeland
Avenue North to Joe Meyer Homes.
