Two proposals have been received for this property. The two builders are Great Buy Homes and Ascent Builders: • Both are licensed builders with no enforcement actions • Great Buy Homes purchased the EDA lot at 3556 Major Avenue N. in 2021 for construction of a new single-family home. Ascent Builders has not previously purchased a lot from the City of Crystal or the Crystal EDA. • Great Buy only has experience in single-family home construction, but Ascent has recently completed a three-family dwelling in Minneapolis. Staff requests that the EDA discuss the two proposals and consider a motion to select one of them (specify __ Great Buy Homes or __ Ascent Builders). Upon selection of a proposal by the EDA, staff will work with the selected builder to finalize the site and building plans, work with the environmental consultant to prepare the Response Action Plan (RAP) for approval by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), have the EDA attorney prepare the Purchase and Development Agreement, publish the public hearing notice in the Sun Post, post on the property, and post it to the surrounding neighborhoods on Nextdoor. The EDA public hearing and authorization of the lot sale would occu r in September- October after the Response Action Plan is completed and approved by the (MPCA). Attachments: A.

The following are important strengths for each proposal: Great Buy Homes: ➢ EDA is familiar with the work of Great Buy from past experience constructing the new home at 3556 Major Avenue N. ➢ Each unit will have will have five bedrooms per unit rather than four as proposed by Ascent ➢ Great Buy is proposing a finishable basement Ascent Builders: ➢ Ascent is offering $5,000 more for the lot than Great Buy Homes ➢ The floor plan will provide the option of one-level living (stairs are only needed to access the upper level) ➢ Ascent’s slab on grade construction has the potential for fewer groundwater issues than the Great Buy proposal THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK Attachment A Examples of recently completed homes and interior finishes THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK Attachment B )7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 #$;; $!#; 2&&7 7 2&&7 7 125)"h 3ZVYV]<;hBZ7;<]h7Z<h]`9K<:^h^VhZ<]`M^]hV>h]VFMh^<]^] h 3ZVYV]<;h9`HM;HSBhHS>XZQ7^HVShQ`]^h8<h:C<:L<;hbH^Dh 7YYZVa<;h8`GN;GSBhYM7Sh7S;h;<a<MVYQ<S^hVZhBZ7;ISBh YM7Sh8<?VZ<h<d:7a7^FVSh7S;h:VS]^Z`:^EVSh 3ZVYV]<;hBZ7;<]h]DVbShVSh^CE]h]`\<eh7Z<h FS^<ZYVM7^FVS]hV>hYZVYV]<;h:VS^V`Z]h>ZVQh^D<h ;Z7GS7B<hBZ7;FSBh7S;VZh;<a<MVYQ<S^hYM7S]h 125)"h 5C<hZ<N7^HVS]DHYh8<^b<<ShYZVYV]<;h?MVVZh <M<a7^FVS]h^Vh8<ha<ZF?E<;h8eh8`FN;<Zh , '&%($#, 27; ;/2'-;; ; !; #; )1)4+0;2907:;+1)627%; hZ;h%a<S`<h1VZ^Ch /FSS<7YVMF]h /FSS<]V^7hh h h (<Q7Z:NS::VQh $,3157 .*0+'7 /-7 53,*(8;3; ; "(&.*; ;; ; 3; ;(Z7bSh&eh $;;Z<]]#h h^Ch$a<S`<h1VZ^Ch 'Ze]^7Nh01h Z<ah -h!h RWUJ_W[h c=OPh fh (<SV^<]h*V`S;h,ZVSh/VS`Q<S^h h (<SV^<]h,ZVSh/VS`Q<S^h (<SV^<]h6VV;h+`8h4<^h>XZh<d:7a7^FVShVSNeh h hh h (<SV^<]h)dI]^HSBh'VS^V`Z]h gh (<SV^<]h3ZVYV]<;h'VS^V`Z]h (<SV^<]h)dE]^FSBh)M<a7^FVSh(<SV^<]h3ZVYV]<;h)M<a7^EVSh (<SV^<]h4`Z?7:<h(Z7GS7B<h (%7 7 #!& , $%,#)(,$,+&#(,#&,'$)('(, $(,$&#&, *($#,, ,(, 5C<hVSNeh<7]<Q<S^]h]CVbSh7Z<h@ZVQhYM7^]hV>hZ<:VZ;hVZhFS>XZQ7^FVSh YZVaF;<;h8eh:ME<S^h ,h:<Z^HAh^D7^h^DH]h]`Za<ehYM7Sh VZhZ<YVZ^hb7]hYZ<Y7Z<;h8ehQ<hVZh`S;<ZhQeh ;FZ<:^h]`Y<ZaF]FVSh7S;h ^D7^h,h7Qh7h;`Meh .E:<T]<;h .7S;h 4`Za<eVZh`S;<Zh ^C<hM7b]hV>h^D<h4^7^<hV>h/FSS<]V^7h )&*+,(', (,+,$,$*"&,, !TTACHMENT " ** Not to scale.

One proposal was received from Hampton Companies to construct two four-unit townhome buildings. The following is additional information about Hampton: • Hampton is a licensed builder with no enforcement actions and they have offered to purchase the lot for $200,000 • The builder has not previously purchased a lot from the City of Crystal or the Crystal EDA. However Hampton received city council approval in 2020 to construct an assisted living/memory care facility called “Suite Living of Crystal” at 3501 Douglas Drive N that is nearly complete. Hampton’s construction manager also oversaw the construction of three new single-family homes on city lots at 5160, 5168 and 5176 Louisiana Ave. N. Staff requests that the EDA discuss Hampton’s proposal and consider a motion to select their proposal to construct eight townhome units. If the EDA selects the proposal, there would then be several sequential or parallel processes to be completed for the property to be developed: • W ork with the builder and environmental consultant to prepare specific site and building plans for preparation of the Response Action Plan (RAP) for approval by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) (summer 2022) • Prepare a Purchase and Development Agreement for EDA consideration (fall 2022) • Apply for a clean-up grant to implement the RAP (fall 2022) • Upon grant award, proceed to closing on the property sale to the builder (1Q 2023) • Construction (2023) Attachment: A.
