5.2. SR 07-28-2003MEMOEANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: Mayor and City Council Pat Klaers, City Admini~ator July 28, 2003 SUBJECT: HRA Update Item # 5.2. All Councilmembers are encouraged to attend the HRA meeting before the regular City Council meeting on July 28, 2003 at Lions Park Center. The HRA meeting will begin at 5:00 p.m. but the discussion on the downtown is not anticipated to begin until approximately 5:30 p.m. or slightly later. The downtown business owners and property owners have requested time on both the HRA agenda and the City Council agenda to express their feelings regarding the downtown redevelopment project. A group of business owners and property owners met on July 22, 2003 and put together a list of issues and concerns that they would like to present to the city. The business owners and property owners were advised to present the list of issues to the HRA, as the City Council has directed the HRA to take the lead in this downtown redevelopment project. Nonetheless, the business owners and property oxvners also want to speak before the City Council, as it is ultimately the City Council who will make the decision on whether or not to eliminate part of Jackson Square for this project. If all of the Councilmembers can get to the HRA meeting by 5:30 p.m. or so, we may be able to avoid a duplication of the same (business and property owner) presentation being made before both the HRA and the City Council. Likewise, we may also be able to avoid having staff present parking information twice if the City Council is at the HRA meeting. A full and complete response to the issues raised by the business owners and property owners is not anticipated until the August HRA meeting. In conversations with Mr. and Mrs. VanValkenburg it was indicated that they would get the list of issues to staff by Thursday afternoon, but as of Friday morning (10 a.m.) we have not yet received this material so it is likely that it will just be presented on Monday. However, everyone has been aware that parking is an issue with this or any downtown project and there is some prelLmmary parking information that is available to be presented to the HRA and City Council. Please see item # 7 of the HRA packet for the full staff report on downtown parking information. In addition to presenting some parking information, I think that the developers will attempt to clear up some misconceptions about the project. One issue that needs to be cleared up as soon as possible is the "low income" concern regarding the apartments.

After reviewing the City of Elk River Downtown Revitalization Project Project Goal & Objectives on the Cities' web page, I feel that many of the objectives have been cast aside and the results will be changes in the downtown which don't reflect the goals but rather what was easiest for the developers and least costly for the city. One objective is to increase exposure to the riverfront. Does building a four story building in a location not on the river, that will in fact block one of the good views of the river accomplish that goal? Another objective is to replace market/economic obsolete buildings. MetroPlains has set their sights on developing the Jackson Square Parking Lot and severely cutting back on convenient parking for those businesses currently on the river side of the street. Is the ultimate goal here for the city to be able to acquire the riverfront properties cheaply when the existing businesses are forced to close because of reduced convenient parking? A third objective is to increase housing downtown. This isn't a bad idea. I am just trying to visualize my grand~nother pulling her shopping cart trying to get across highway 10 with her groceries. Or a mom pushing a stroller trying to walk her kids across the highway and the train tracks to go play. When I supported MetroPlains bid to be the developer of downtown. I did so based on their concept of developing the bluff block on the river and the northeast corner of King and Main (see October 2002 City of Elk River Downtown Revitalization Q&A Newsletter referencing this). Whereas there is definitely room for improvement in downtown Elk River, in medicine there is a saying "First do no harm." MetroPlains and the City of Elk River Staff working on these plans need to refocus their efforts to DO NO HARM! Please let the City of Elk River know what you think about their plans for downtown!
