SUBJECT: Consider tentative acceptance of proposals for the lots at 5201 and 5209 –
49th Avenues North and for 5140 Lakeside Avenue North
_____________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
The EDA recently purchased four vacant lots from Hennepin County for the development of
new single-family homes:
Staff has been marketing these lots for the past several weeks, including direct mailings to the
EDA and BATC mailing lists and postings on the city website and social media.
EDA STAFF REPORT
Tentative Acceptance of Lot Purchase Proposals
PAGE 2 OF 4
The proposal deadline was May 30 and proposals were received from two builders, Novak-
Fleck and Tollberg Homes, for three of the four lots, all located on the east side of Bottineau
Boulevard (County Road 81):
5209 49th Ave N
5201 49th Ave N
5140 Lakeside Ave N
No proposals were received for the f ourth lot (4837 Lakeland Ave N) so staff will now proceed
with marketing it on a first-come, first-served basis.
At this time, the EDA is being asked to tentatively select one proposal for each of the three lots
for a public hearing and final lot sale decision at a special EDA meeting on June 20.
Attachments:
A 1): Novak-Fleck for 5209 49th Avenue North (staff recommendation)
A 2): Tollberg Homes for 5209 49th Avenue North
B 1): Novak-Fleck for 5201 49th Avenue North

$55,000 lot price

Proposed home: Split entry with 1,246 SF on the main level consisting of a
kitchen, dining/living room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The lower
level could be finished in the future with an amusement room, two bedrooms

Examples: 5924 Elmhurst, 3122 Douglas Dr, 5626 Vera Cruz
B. 5201 49th Avenue North
1) Novak- Fleck
PAGE 3 OF 4
$55,000 lot price
Speculative build
Proposed home: Split entry with 1,280 SF on the main level consisting of a
kitchen, dining/living room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The lower
level could be finished in the future with a large family room, one bedroom
and one bathroom. There would also be a three -car attached garage.
Examples: 4720 Douglas Dr, 5332 50th, 5824 Regent, 5700 Regent
2) Tollberg Homes (staff recommendation)
$55,000 lot price
Speculative build
Proposed home: Four level split with 1,460 SF on the main and upper level
consisting of a kitchen, dining/living room, three bedrooms and two
bathrooms. The two lower levels could be finished in the future with a
recreation room, one bedroom and one bathroom. There would also be a
three-car attached garage.
C. 5140 Lakeside Avenue North
1) Novak- Fleck*
$55,000 lot price
Custom build
Proposed home: Two story home with 1,934 SF on the main and second
levels consisting of a kitchen, dining, great room, four bedrooms and three
bathrooms. The 880 SF lower level could be finished later. There would also
be a three-car attached garage.
2) Tollberg Homes (staff recommendation)**
$55,000 lot price
Speculative build
Proposed home: Split entry home with 1,246 SF on the main level consisting
of a kitchen, dining/living room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The
lower level could be finished in the future with an amusement room, two
bedrooms and one bathroom. There would also be a three -car attached
garage.
Examples: 5924 Elmhurst, 3122 Douglas Dr, 5626 Vera Cruz
On this lot, a variance reducing the front setb ack from 30 to 20 feet would be
necessary. Staff would recommend approval of such a variance based on the
boulevard being 10 feet wider than typical. In other words, with the variance,
the new house’s distance from the street would look about the same as
houses with a standard setback.
* Novak-Fleck only wants the 5140 Lakeside lot as a backup for their
custom build if they don’t get the lot at 5209 49 th.
** Staff recommends the Tollberg proposal for 5140 Lakeside presuming
that the EDA will accept the Novak-Fleck proposal for 5209 49th.
PAGE 4 OF 4
REQUESTED ACTION
The EDA is asked to tentatively accept a proposal for each of the three lots. A separate
motion should be made for each lot.
The staff recommendations are as follows:
A. 5209 – 49th Avenue North: Because Novak-Fleck is offering a custom-designed home
and has a buyer in place, staff recommends that the EDA tentative ly accept the
proposal from Novak-Fleck.
B. 5201 – 49th Avenue North: Because Tollberg’s proposed house would have more
square footage and a four level design that looks like a rambler from the street, staff
recommends that the EDA tentatively accept the proposal from Tollberg.
C. 5140 Lakeside Avenue North: Because Novak-Fleck would only want this lot as a
backup if it can’t do the custom build on 5209 49th, staff recommends that the EDA
tentatively accept the proposal from Tollberg.
A public hearing and final lot sale decision would occur at a special EDA meeting on June 20.
Attachment A1 - Proposal from Novak-Fleck
(custom home) 5209 - 49th
(staff recommendation)
Letter from proposed buyer of 5209 - 49th
Attachment A2 - Proposal from Tollberg Homes
(spec home) - 5209 - 49th
Attachment B1 - Proposal from Novak-Fleck
for spec home - 5201 - 49th
Attachment B2 - Proposal from Tollberg Homes
for spec home - 5201 - 49th
(staff recommendation)
Attachment C1 - Proposal from Novak-Fleck for
custom home - 5140 Lakeside (builder prefers
5209 - 49th, but 5140 Lakeside is second choice)
Letter from proposed buyer of 5140 Lakeside
Attachment C2 - Proposal from Tollberg Homes
for spec home - 5140 Lakeside
(staff recommendation)
City staff and builder propose reducing
the front setback from 30' to 20', which
requires variance approval. The rear yard
30' setback would then be met. The home
at 20' from the front property line would
be in conformance with the location of
other homes on Lakeside.

DATE: June 1, 2017
TO: Anne Norris, Executive Director (for June 6 EDA meeting)
SUBJECT: Request from Joe Meyer Homes for an amendment to the Purchase and
Redevelopment Agreement for 4724 Lakeland Avenue North
On April 4, 2017 the EDA held a public hearing and approved a purchase and redevelopment
agreement with Joe Meyer Homes to purchase the lot at 4724 Lakeland Avenue North for
$55,000. The builder was required to close on the property by June 4, 2017. The builder has
not been able to secure financing for the project due to an unforeseen appraisal issue.
Therefore Joe Meyer Homes is requesting a 30-day extension to resolve this issue so that
they may still close on the property. This extension requires an amendment to the signed
agreement. Attached for you review is the request from Joe Meyer Homes for the 30-day
extension.
The EDA has two options in responding to this request:
Adopt a resolution approving this amendment. This resolution will be provided at the
June 6, 2017 EDA meeting. Staff is recommending approval of this option to provide
the builder time to resolve their appraisal issue.
Deny approval of the amendment. A document cancelling the agreement will be
provided at the June 6, 2017 EDA meeting. In that case the builder will forfeit the
$2,000 earnest money they provided at the time the agreement was signed. EDA staff
will then begin marketing the property for sale on a first-come, first-served basis.
REQUESTED EDA ACTION: Approve a request from Joe Meyer Homes to amend the
purchase and redevelopment agreement for 4724 Lakeland Avenue North to allow a 30-day
extension of the closing date.

Dear City Council,
The Crystal Frolics would like your assistance for our City celebration this year. It will
be held July 27-30. We invite all of you to attend.
We plan to have fireworks on Friday and Saturday nights (July 28 & 29) at 10:00 p.m.
We need you to direct your staff for the closure of Bass Lake Road for the shoot at
Becker Park. Also, we need the assistance of the Police and Fire Departments to
insure a safe display. The rain date for Friday night will be an inclusion into Saturday
night's display. There will be no rain date for Saturday night. Please have the city staff
contact the county for the appropriate permits.
Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation and that of the city staff.
Sincerely,

Dear City Council,
The Crystal Frolics would like your assistance for our City celebration this year. It will
be held July 27-30.
WMFRA plans to host a “waterball fight” with local fire depts. on Saturday, July 29 from
1-4pm. We will need to close Douglas Drive between the Cedarwood Apartments
driveway and the driveway into the Becker Park parking lot from Noon – 5pm. The
WMFRA will take care of posting the street with “No Parking” signs the evening before
the event and will remove them after the event.
This “waterball fight” was a highlight of the Frolics a long time ago when it was run by
the fire dept. We are very excited to have it return! It will be great family entertainment
(during what is often the hottest weekend of the year) and fun for all who attend. We
hope you will be able to join us for the launch of this newest addition to the Frolics!
Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation and that of the city staff.
Sincerely,
Lynn Haney, President
