RE: Consider giving tentative approval of a proposal from Noberg Homes
for the EDA property at 4824 – 56th Avenue North
The EDA is asked to give tentative approval to a proposal from Noberg Homes to purchase
the lot at 4824 – 56th Avenue North for a new single-family home with an attached
accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Noberg Homes is a licensed builder with no enforcement
actions who has purchased many lots from the EDA. The most recent lots sold to Noberg
were five lots deemed surplus park land in 2018.
Attached are Noberg’s proposal form, site plan, and an illustration of the single-family home
with an ADU that would be built on the lot. Noberg would purchase the lot for the minimum
price of $100,000. The builder does not yet have a buyer for the home, which would be
finished according to the table on the page 3.
Since the property is adjacent to a former gas station at 4800 – 56th Avenue North, the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) approved a Construction Contingency Plan
(CCP) to describe the mitigation process if contaminated soils or other materials are
encountered during construction. There will be a provision in the purchase and development
agreement to cover costs that can only be discovered when the property is excavated.
Staff requests that the EDA discuss Noberg’s proposal and consider a motion to give
tentative approval to that proposal. The EDA would hold a public hearing and
consider a resolution approving the lot sale on Nov. 7.
Upon selection of the proposal by the EDA, staff will work with Noberg to finalize the site
and building plans, publish the public hearing notice in the Sun Post, post the property, and
post it to the surrounding neighborhoods on Nextdoor.
