RE: Public Hearing. Consider adoption of a resolution approving the sale
of 4824 – 56th Avenue North for construction of a new two-family
dwelling
The property is adjacent to a former gas station at 4800 – 56th Ave N. Environmental
investigations were completed in 2021-22 and determined that although soil
contamination does not exist on the EDA property, the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA) must approve a Construction Contingency Plan (CCP) to describe the
mitigation process if contaminated soils or other materials are encountered during
construction. The MPCA is expected to approve the CCP so that construction could
begin this year.
On May 17, 2022 the EDA gave tentative acceptance to the lot sale to Great Buy
Homes, who were to build a twin home which would be platted as a CIC so each unit
could be sold separately. Recently Great Buy informed staff that they have withdrawn
their proposal because the legal costs of doing the CIC are greater than originally
anticipated.
At the time the EDA tentatively accepted Great Buy’s proposal, the EDA had also
received a qualifying proposal from Ascent Builders, who would also build a twin home.
The builder plans to live in one unit while renting the other, so a CIC plat would not be
needed (although it would be an option in the future). Ascent Builders has experience in
residential construction. They are a state-licensed residential building contractor with no
enforcement actions.
Due to the property’s unique circumstances there will be a provision in the purchase
and development agreement to provide for costs that can only be discovered when the
property is excavated. An escrow will be established from the sale proceeds for these
unknowable expenses. The escrow will cover expenses up to $7,500 and if that amount
is exceeded, Ascent will have the option to continue with the project at their own
expense or sell the property back to the EDA.

REQUESTED EDA ACTION: EDA adoption of a resolution approving the sale of the lot

If the lot sale is approved Ascent is planning to start construction in November
and finish construction of the new two-family dwelling by fall 2023.
