RE: Public Hearing. Consider adoption of a resolution approving the sale
of 4824 – 56th Avenue North to Noberg Homes
The EDA is asked to hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution approving the sale of
4824 – 56th Avenue North to Noberg Homes for a new single-family home with an
attached accessory dwelling unit (ADU). On October 17 the EDA gave tentative
acceptance to Noberg’s proposal for the lot sale. 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 by the city 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. The following are the changes
to the site and building plans since Oct. 17:
➢ The building was moved 10’ further back from the front property line, 3’ closer to
the west property line, and 3’ away from the east property line.
➢ A driveway is shown in the center of the front lot line. Noberg will submit a right -
of-way permit application to Hennepin County to remove the two existing curb
cuts and replace them with a centralized curb cut in approximate alignment with
Perry Avenue N.
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. 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, Noberg will have the option to continue with the project at their own

expense or sell the property back to the EDA . This is the same provision that was in
the agreement with the previous builder, although it was not the cause of that builder
deciding not to proceed.
