EDA STAFF REPORT
I of 5548 Yates
CRYSTAL
Public Hearing - Sale of Lot to Novak -Fleck
FROM: John Sutter, City Planner/Assistant Community Development Director
DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: Patrick Peters, Community Development Director
DATE: May 1, 2013
TO: Anne Norris, Executive Director (for May 7, 2013 EDA meeting)
SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Consider a resolution authorizing the sale of the lot at 5548
Yates Avenue North to Novak -Fleck for construction of a new house
On March 5 the EDA authorized a six-month option agreement with Novak -Fleck to purchase
the lot at 5548 Yates Avenue North for $50,000. Novak -Fleck has buyers for its three houses
currently under construction in Crystal, and desires to exercise its option on 5548 Yates to
purchase the lot and start constriction on a spec home. They have a Minnesota Residential
Building Contractor license with no enforcement actions.
The house would be a split entry with 972 sq. ft. on the upper level and 912 sq. ft. on the lower
level. The upper level would have an open living -dining -kitchen area, two bedrooms and one
bathroom. The lower level would have one bedroom and one bathroom finished now plus a
laundry/mechanical room and space for a combination of additional bedrooms and/or a family
room to be finished later. The house would also have an attached three -car garage.
The only changes from the preliminary proposal, tentatively accepted by the EDA on March 5,
are that the house plan has been switched from garage -left to garage -right, and the third
garage stall has been added. The updated plan still conforms to the EDA's lot sale guidelines
and city code including zoning. Lot sale closing and construction start are scheduled for mid -
late May with house completion by late summer 2013,
The proposed resolution, 2012 aerial photo, site sketch and house plan are attached.
REQUESTED EDA ACTION: After holding the public hearing and receiving any testimony,
consider adopting the attached resolution authorizing the property sale.

EDA STAFF REPORT
4553 Yates
CRYSTAL
Continue the Lot Sale Public Hearing for Two Weeks
FROM: John Sutter, City Planner/Assistant Community Development Director -
DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: Patrick Peters, Community Development Director
DATE: May 1, 2013
TO: Anne Norris, Executive Director (for May 7, 2013 EDA meeting)
SUBJECT: Consider continuing the advertised public hearing regarding the proposed
sale of a lot at 4553 Yates Avenue North for construction of a new house
At its April 16 meeting the EDA accepted a proposal from Berger Built Construction to
purchase the lot at 4553 Yates Avenue North, with a lot price of $40,000 and the EDA
completing the curb cut relocation and removal of one tree. The house was to be custom-built
for a specific homebuyer.
The homebuyer has since decided to not proceed with the new house, and the builder needs
two additional weeks to decide whether to proceed with purchasing the lot and building a spec
home, and if so, to finalize a house plan for EDA consideration.
REQUESTED EDA ACTION: Continue the lot sale public hearing to the May 21 EDA meeting.

Lot options / new house proposals (MT Builders)
FROM: John Sutter, City Planner/Assistant Community Development Director
DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: Patrick Peters, Community Development Director ,.,i
/ _j
DATE: May 3, 2013
TO: Anne Norris, Executive Director (for May 7, 2013 EDA meeting)
SUBJECT: *** Additional agenda item requested to be added ***
Consider tentative acceptance of proposals and approval of option
agreements with MT Builders for purchase of lots at 4343 and 4349 Xenia
Avenue North for construction of new houses
MT Builders has submitted proposals for purchase options on the EDA lots at 4343 and 4349
Xenia Avenue North. Each option will cost the builder $500 for six months, is renewable for an
additional 6 months for another $500, and during the option period the builder is required to list
the property for sale on the MLS as a "to be built" house. Attached are a 2012 aerial photo,
the builder's option proposal forms and representative, general house plan for these lots
The builder has an interested buyer who wants a two story home in the Welcome Park
neighborhood broadly similar to the one at 4306 Zane but with an attached garage. By
purchasing the options the builder intends to do one as a custom build then possibly build the
other as a spec home if needed. However, the builder could choose to only exercise one of
the options, as each stands alone.
Please note the following:
• The lot prices are $50,000 for each lot.
• EDA approval of the options serves as tentative acceptance of the builder's proposal, so
that at whatever time the builder exercises the option, staff would schedule the public
hearing for final EDA consideration of the lot sale.
• The tentative house plan is a two story with 716 sq. ft. on the main floor, 837 sq. ft. on the
upper floor and an unfinished basement. The house plan would be modified to lower the
roof pitch and delete the third story to comply with the city's maximum height limit, and also
delete the fireplace bump -out to comply with the city's minimum 5 foot side setback.
• The main floor would have an open living -dining -kitchen area, half bath and laundry. The
upper floor would have three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The basement would have
716 unfinished sq. ft. with at least one egress window and a roughed -in bathroom for future
finishing. Windows would be added to the side walls of the house, although the exact
number, size and location are as yet unknown.
Page 1 of 2
The houses may be set back further than the normal 30 feet from the front lot line due to
the depth of the lots (217 feet), a desire to preserve one or more existing trees and to
provide a visually open area alongside the adjacent, existing houses which are only set
back 20 feet from the front lot line. One or both of the house plans may be reversed (i.e.
garage -right instead of garage -left) for the same reasons. These details would be worked
out later at the EDA hearing if the options are exercised.
The lot sale guidelines call for detached garages off the alley, similar to the Zane
lots/houses on the other side of the block. However, the Xenia lots are 5 feet wider, which
means they can (just barely) accommodate a narrow two story with an attached garage.
Because a majority of the houses on this block of Xenia have driveways using the street
instead of the alley, it would be reasonable to approve these options subject to EDA review
of detailed site and house plans in the normal manner at the EDA hearing if the options are
exercised. It should be noted that the Xenia homeowners could later add a second garage
to be accessed from the alley if the attached two car garage ultimately proves too small.
REQUESTED EDA ACTION: EDA approval of a motion authorizing option agreements with
MT Builders for 4343 and 4349 Xenia Avenue North.

EDA STAFF REPORT
Proposed Resolution amending the 2013 EDA and TIF
"CRY
- Housing District Budgets
FROM: Charles Hansen, Finance Director
Patrick Peters, Deputy Executive Director
TO: Anne Norris, Executive Director (for May 7, 2013 EDA Meeting)
DATE: May 2, 2013
SUBJECT: Resolution Amending the 2013 Budgets of Housing Replacement
District #1, Housing Replacement District #2 and Economic
Development Authority
Background:
The Bass Lake Road/Becker Park TIF district expired at the end of 2009. This means
that it stopped collecting any more tax increments, but could continue to expend money
that it had. Several projects that we planned to spend the remaining money on have
been slow to develop, and so the district has continued to exist.
After filing the annual reports with the State Auditor last summer, our financial advisor
informed us that all money that originated from tax increments had been spent. The
remaining money was from sources other than tax increments; therefore, the Bass Lake
Road/Becker Park TIF district could be closed at the end of 2012, even though money
remained in it. The City Council approved closing the district as of December 31, 2012
and transferring any remaining assets to the Economic Development Authority.
We were far into the 2013 budget preparation when we learned this. Although we
deleted the Bass Lake Road/Becker Park TIF district from the 2013 budget, we
overlooked the need to amend the 2013 budgets of the EDA and Housing Districts #1
and #2. Each of these funds will have additional activity in 2013.
Discussion:
Economic Development Authority Fund
The EDA received a transfer of $517,273.64 in cash and $823,000 in land inventory
from the closed Bass Lake Road/Becker Park TIF district. In addition, it took on the
responsibility to complete several unfinished projects of the TIF district. None of these
projects were provided for in the adopted 2013 EDA budget.
The first of these projects to come up are the street lights on the County Highway 81
Backage Road. The Engineering Department sought bids on the project and the cost
estimate is $75,000. We should set a budget of $80,000 to provide a contingency. Half
of the project cost is being paid by the Street Light Utility.
Housing District #1
From 2009 through 2011, the majority of money for home improvement incentive rebate
program came from the Bass Lake Road/Becker Park TIF district. It was intended that
the 2012 budget would see support from the Bass Lake Road/Becker Park TIF district
diminish and that Housing Districts #1 and #2 would take over supporting the home
improvement incentive rebate program.
As we progressed through the year 2012, other projects intended for the Bass Lake
Road/Becker Park TIF district were delayed. Payments on the home improvement
incentive rebate program continued to be paid from the Bass Lake Road/Becker Park
TIF district in an effort to spend the balance of that fund so that it could be closed.
As a result, Housing District #1 under spent its 2012 budget and ended 2012 with more
money than was expected. This TIF district expires at the end of 2013 and its funds may
only be used for affordable housing activities, including the home improvement incentive
rebate program. We would like to spend the money in the district so that it can be
closed at the end of 2013 or in early 2014. We propose to accomplish this by increasing
the amount budgeted in the fund for the rebate program.

Housing District #2 began funding the Community Fix -Up Fund and FHA/HUD 203K
loan programs in 2012 with a $36,000 appropriation. The loan programs got off to a
slower start than anticipated and so only $4,308 was expended.
Housing District #2 under spent its 2012 budget and ended 2012 with more money than
was expected. This TIF district expires at the end of 2013 and as with the other housing
district; its funds may only be used for affordable housing activities, including the home
improvement incentive rebate program. This fund is proposed to reduce its 2013
expenditures as money is spent first from the Housing District #1. Housing District #2
should be closed by the end of 2014.
This table shows the proposed changes to the 2013 Housing District #2 budget:

Total appropriations for the home improvement incentive rebate program would
increase with this proposal. It is unlikely that LaNel appropriation will be spent in 2013.
In that event, the unspent money will remain in the LaNel District and can be
appropriated in the 2014 budget. Appropriations for the home improvement incentive
rebate program are proposed to be as follows:
Housing District #1
Housing District #2
Lanel TIF District

Looking ahead for the rebate program in 2014, we anticipate that there will be $98,804
remaining in Housing District #2. There may also be some of the $36,000 budgeted for
the Community Fix -Up Fund and 203K remaining if demand for these programs does
not increase. Once the Housing District #2 money is depleted, we will look to the LaNel
District for long term funding of the rebate program.
The City Council also will be presented with a resolution at an upcoming meeting to
amend the subject budgets.
Recommendation:
Recommend approval of the attached resolution amending the budgets.
