7.0. HRSR 06-27-2001 �� Item 1 7 tik River MEMORANDUM TO: Housing & Redevelopment Authority FROM: Catherine Mehelich, Director of Economic Developmen DATE: June 27, 2001 SUBJECT: Downtown Riverfront Redevelopment Concept Issue Private developers interested in a downtown riverfront redevelopment were invited to present their preliminary development concept to the HRA. Best&Hempel's development team has been asked to make a 20-minute presentation of their development concept for the HRA's preliminary discussion of downtown redevelopment possibilities and the HRA's role in such possibilities. It is anticipated that a few riverfront property owners may be in attendance at the presentation and meeting. • Attachments • Correspondence to Developer from Staff, dated May 18, 2001 re: Elk River Downtown Redevelopment • Map of Downtown Riverfront Area • River Village Redevelopment Concept Plan by Best&Hempel development team Overview At its April 23, 2001 meeting, the Elk River HRA considered information on the sale of the ECM Publishers, Inc. property downtown. It was the consensus of the HRA to assist in financing or coordinating desired redevelopment proposals brought forth from the private sector, as opposed to purchasing the site. In May, staff invited two developers to submit their preliminary development concepts for the HRA's discussion of downtown redevelopment possibilities. In addition,property owners along the downtown riverfront were notified of the redevelopment interest,project status and possible HRA role. The developers who were invited to submit development concepts were: • Best&Hempel and Kraus-Anderson development team • Dynamics Design and Cascade Land Company development team • Best&Hempel's attached preliminary development concept includes redevelopment of the downtown riverfront area from Nadeau's to Mikol's Studio. The project includes a mixed- use of housing,retail, office and restaurant spaces. In addition, the project includes utilizing the Mississippi River for pedestrian walkways, fishing piers and community gathering spaces based on the City's earlier 1994 Riverwalk concept. Cascade Land Company declined to • submit a concept plan. Discussion Points 1) Is the consideration of the project premature in light of: a) need for completion and adoption of an overall plan and implementation schedule? b) need to complete the historical context study? 2) If the project is not premature,is the project too extensive? ie should some buildings be maintained along the river? 3) If the project is not too extensive,is it consistent with the guiding principles identified during the prioritization exercise? • Utilize the River for public/private use • Create pedestrian-friendly/walkable core downtown • Increase awareness to downtown • Locate a traffic generator downtown • Strengthen gateways to Core CBD • New construction to compliment traditional design elements • Preserve/highlight original design&character of existing buildings • Core CBD oriented to retail • Northern area oriented to office&housing • • Create public gathering areas 4) What,if any, role should the HRA play in the redevelopment of areas in downtown? a) Nothing b) Redevelopment financing,via TIF or Tax Rebate Financing c) Assist with acquisition of land;including eminent domain/condemnation d) Redevelopment financing and assist with acquisition of land as needed e) Define development concept;initiate acquisition of land;make formal request- for-proposals; evaluate and select developer;provide redevelopment financing f) Enter into short-term exclusive preliminary development agreement with developer allowing for refinement of plans and financing for development Recommendation While no action is necessary at this meeting, staff requests that the HRA provide further direction to staff and the developer regarding the conceptual proposal,including the desired level of participation by the HRA. Next steps would include: • Evaluate ability to establish tax increment financing district within the redevelopment area • Direct developer to prepare financial and market feasibility report of project • Analyze feasibility of financial assistance and proposed development • Identify need/options for communicating with area businesses,property owners about issues/concerns • - •r"1 R., iti 112.26•'°4° I I .J� A �ENVE Up127.42. c. o o 75-405_o 505 gc.0, „t, 142 s8 8 x\...,.......j ."7- 75-40\.) 1574 0505 pl a �'c I q 73-40 0 S . `0.x"4 5_ 510' _� kO$°t 75_ 405 i'20 a 8 85.00.- 5`0525k !�N o .. act, 80 00 w 03.`�75�4p5` • 75_4„ - c. ---[ :°°' 8 _ 5JS Q$ 5-4p5' :05 , . //"„so 73 o -405_0555 t., cf...) 0 u o ",: 75_ 1p000• 4 - P'" 405,03 u• 75_404 85 0 141 v� y� I 0 S , 0150 u ' I 1 s "' 7$_404 0jS7 Z U TI • 0,��3 7365'00'4` 0C A -� 405 m XI U � 7s 0 C'sd, +zo $ •L 4 p 7�D fi75-ip��3p r 4G LINN Z 75_"-°4404M n _"' _ a ale - 75_405_0450 o • 150.00, y 0 g $33 C _., Ill - 8 I 1 cA. r e0 33 r g -< fri ab en 150.p0• 'rii y 1.) ��• 8 �- u I CI\ V 0 • 58.91' g u C.14 8 .41 (JJ ill lir / Qp C __41,________. ____ V V QOM i v O fr '( T 3 Z.

At this time, the City of Elk River/Housing and Redevelopment Authority has received interest from two developers for a redevelopment project in the downtown area. Your interest comes at an opportune time as the City is completing an implimentable redevelopment plan for the downtown area. While the City has not identified specific redevelopment sites and desired uses at this time, components of the plan will include: • Utilise the Mississippi River for public/private use • Maintain the historic character of the core central business district • Maintain pedestrian-friendly core central business district • Encourage safe pedestrian and vehicle traffic movement Enclosed is the draft Market Analysis for Downtown Elk River prepared by Maxfield Research Inc.,which provides an analysis of conditions and market potential for housing, retail and office development. Since the Downtown Redevelopment Plan is not yet complete, the HRA in not in a position to make any formal request-for-proposals or request-for-qualifications at this time. However, the HRA is interested in discussing the possibilities for redevelopment. In order to evaluate the range of development possibilities, the HRA is requesting additional information from each developer. Please submit the following information by 4:30 p.m.,June 11, 2001: • Description of development team and relevant experience • Written narrative describing preliminary development concept including land uses, architectural theme, market feasibility, estimated project timing, and relationship to the river • Preliminary project costs and funding sources • Proposed HRA/City role and involvement in project, if any • • Concept sketch plan showing site layout, site improvements and building elevations Phone:763.441.7420 Fax:763.441.7425 www.ci.elk-river.mn.us • 2 Preliminary development concepts will be considered for discussion at the next regular scheduled HRA meeting Monday,June001 at 5:00 p.m. Each developer will be given an opportunity to make a 20- minute presentation of their preliminary development concept, and allowed 10-minutes for question/answer.

The City of Elk River commissioned Maxfield Research a Market Potential Analysis for Downtown Elk River which was completed in April of 2001. The report analyzes the commercial and residential market potential for the down- town, and identifies several potential redevelopment sites in the area(including the site in question). Each of the sites identified inthe study have varying potential for redevelopment and use within the context of the current land use patterns, physical constraints and market potential in the area The site in question presents an excellent opportunity to be the "key first proj- ect"that will set the tone for an overall revitalization plan and strategy for down- town Elk River and will accentuate the City's vision for the Mississippi o III Riverwalk. o0 The River Village team is taking what we like to call an "open book" develop- 0 ment approach to downtown Elk River. This approach begins with the under- -a standing that concerns and opportunities identified by residents and staff will be fundamental to the overall goals for the project. Some of these concerns and ._,—, opportunities include: o • Utilizing the Mississippi River to its fullest and best use for both private y and public venues • Maintaining a historic charm to the CBD 0. • Keeping a pedestrian friendly CBD i `Q • Implementing a complimentary mix of different types of space 0 n I N The approach we will take is to start with a clean slate and master plan the entire site. This includes developing an understanding of the implication and opportunities for surrounding adjacent uses in the downtown area. As the proj- f _ ect moves along different challenges and new opportunities will present them- = selves. Our process allows for interactive participation by residents, city staff, , c and council input. Key components throughout the process are: L'i1 • Direct resident input via surveys and locally held design meetings �Ir . � • Active involvement from the HPC, HRA, Planning Commission and City i o �, Council 3 ° - Q �^ef • Chamber of Commerce participation in helping determine useful ameni- ties for businesses • Local downtown business involvement Once the River Village team has gathered this input a project"program"will be developed that drives the economic model. The program will include many of the components already outlined in the Maxfield Research study, which was recently compiled. Economic drivers such as the following will help determine the overall economic feasibility to the project: • Population and household growth trends and predictions • Age distribution • Household income • Rent levels • Residential housing sales Based on the economic model financial decisions will be able to be made. It is the intent of River Village to be a market rate development in all respects. Following the completion of the economic study we will be able to determine the level of involvement that may or may not be needed by the HRA or City of Elk 1111 River to assist in the project financially. It is the intent of our development team to assemble the land with as little assis- tance by the city as needed. When assistance is needed we would expect the IAC City or HRA to assist in assembling the land. Following the program, financial feasibility, and land assembly the project can begin final design and construction efforts. The schedule will be determined by market conditions and the ability to assemble the land. i1 3?

The main focus of the project will be on utilizing the greatest corn- munity amenity, the Mississippi River. Great care will be taken to capitalize on the use of the river for pedestrian walkways,fishing piers,green areas and com- munity gathering spaces all based on the City's Riverwalk concept. Our team has developed the following design concepts for the River Village project that will guide the project from the initial concept stages through final project imple- mentation. Site Issues • The project will become a defining edge to the downtown and also a gateway to the Mississippi River. • The development of the sites should embrace the Mississippi riverfront ' and the Riverwalk in order to provide the community open and direct access to the river's amenities. • The west and east blocks will be united by the Riverwalk but will be developed as distinct neighborhoods with their own sense of place. • The buildings should front on Main Street in to redevelop the street edge • and small town urban fabric in the downtown. • Significant buildings should flank the main spine of the Mississippi Tr Riverwalk between Main Street and the Mississippi River. This will pro- vide spatial definition to the Riverwalk and add people and activity to this space. • The project should develop large garden spaces that take advantage of the dramatic views of the river. • The development should be pedestrian oriented within and around the site and make connections to the proposed Mississippi Riverwalk. • The development to take full advantage of the unique topography and natural features of the site. Building Issues • The building must use appropriate systems, equipment and materials that are durable and follow sound practices of sustainable design. • The buildings must be appropriate in scale to the downtown and include traditional materials and detailing that recalls the core buildings in the community. • Building facades must be animated and interesting by incorporating bal- conies, porches, significant entries, awnings and traditional fenestration. • Each building in the development should be unique in design but be tied together visually in scale. 3QH ) 1iflhi - __ r tyk a, " i 7 �: 6.g1 on' _,_.{. ., 0yyfI�1 '',:,.:,,,,,,..,:,7:,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,44017,,,,.... .i„+.,t'°' 017& ,....,,_ _ I, - 1 I ''t��ate'It �'2 , '''' m O 3 CO 3 ."gw s v - �co N c i a .41‘.••,-...'•• �� .� a �z iV irP LI l a :i" i uf• �'ytt ice a ® I�� iIMINII 1"?0: m 7 = �"'"`• ....„,,:trorii• . 1r -"' ..µµ N /Vr:r { 4 7/. }YN3 w L J �� "� �i ` @` fes.

The strategic plan for downtown St. Charles strives to create a pedestrian-oriented urban place balanced with a great river experience, all in the context of a great small town. Attention was directed to the ways in which people experience downtown, with a particular emphasis on pedestrians. Gateways were ip highlighted with focal features and new development. The patterns of streetscape enhancements were extended along development corridors, and the links between the grid of downtown and the river walk were emphasized. Public art, nearly missing in downtown, was integrated into the fabric of downtown in ways that would tell a better story about the St. Charles community. ::;,51, 1 44 - ,✓ i 'n'r�'T r--}sic te 7:!,..: •,.t 1%644 Po-i- 7.r i' ,-.. , :it ,,,:,,,,..:), ..,;,,,v44.-.-4,f:,- A-*Azy%7-- .1":1:; 'i i ' 4 .„ ;, r, 1 14, 'yeti, t _ . _ : , , ,..,.., t , , t .. . , „....„ A. -_ _.„... ., ,,,ky-,-i - .. , ,,,-- -;-, ---74---ez,---„,2,40v.",..- - ; .'

Older neighborhoods and a civic core containing City Hall and new Federal Courthouse are central to the three districts. Enhancements proposed for Main Street include expanded streetscapes, renovations to a farmers market, creative links to the river, and new public and private development opportunities that 1 • activate vacant parcels. In Haarig, the stock of historic buildings, enhanced street spaces and new housing on vacant parcels will encourage a renewed sense of life in the district. Along the nearly one mile length of Broadway, the strategy for revitalization places initial emphasis on two segments—a university-focused retail/entertainment 1 p 9 �Y precinct based on the renovation of two older theaters and an office/employment precinct that utilizes larger existing buildings and captures current:interest in their renovation. _ _ -- - - 777 4 i ." # ,y f '1-,, /A alt l 1r c ,. y§t,�t 3h,,11 !r' f y l -i� 6 ft,. -L,I.a .,1' - - � , ,, _-' III 1 1 1 3QH Elio TEAM ME• MIERS AND EXPERIENCE igin Urban Village Richfield, Minnesota Client Richfield State Agency The Urban Village is a unique private sector redevelopment at the intersection of 66th Street and Lynda Avenue in Richfield.

The "Center" would replace an undesirable use, and allow for the values of surrounding property to be increased (most notably, a several acre parcel owned by the city). Methods of pedestrian and vehicle movement were studied; a shuttle was proposed to ease traffic congestion and to move people to the lakefront more comfortably. Patterns of redevelopment would allow this part of Branson to become a place of celebrations and festivals, a way of balancing the music-based tourism with a reflection of local • culture and significance. w 13 -- p��11'n.

As you are aware, the original bid for the improvements from Schmidt Curb Company was $209,943.80. As we discussed with the Economic Development Authority, we anticipated removing and replacing more concrete curb and gutter and the 1-foot concrete strip along the buildings due to the lower than expected bid prices from Schmidt Curb. Based on the final • quantities, we anticipate that the final construction cost will be $246,664.96. As you are aware, there are a number of items in this final construction cost that should be reimbursed by the Elk River Municipal Utilities. They had agreed before the project was bid to pay for the removal of the sidewalk on the north side of Main Street. This agreement was in association with the anticipated burying of the underground electrical cables through the downtown. While working with their Contractor, there were a number of other items that needed to be removed for the electrical conduits to be placed. These items were removed and replaced by Schmidt Curb Company, therefore, they show up in the final construction cost and should be reimbursed by the Elk River Municipal Utilities or their Contractor. Under a separate letter to Pat Klaers, I detailed these items out. They amount to $23,279.00. Hopefully, this letter provides you with the information you need to present to the Economic Development Authority. If you have any questions or would like further information, please call.

City of Elk -�-� River MEMORANDUM TO: Housing and Redevelopment Authority FROM: Stephen Rohlf, Building & Zoning Administrator DATE: June 27, 2001 SUBJECT: Context Study The Heritage Preservation Commission strongly recommends that a context study with a focus on the Downtown area be completed before any redevelopment proposal • is seriously contemplated. In an effort to keep Downtown vital, it would be shame to destroy what we are trying to save, Main Street, USA. A context study takes less than six months and will cost $10,000 to $12,000. One half of the cost can be recouped with grant money. I believe the next grant cycle is this fall. A context study using grant money could be complete by this time next year. A context study identifies the significant historic themes of a community, put in a regional perspective. Some examples of historic themes in Elk River will most likely include: transportation (river, railroads, etc.), commerce, & energy. A context study gives a framework that can be used to weigh the importance of structures and places to a community's heritage to aid its planning efforts. It is also the first step in developing a written history of a community. Much of Elk River's heritage centers on the Downtown area. A context study that focuses on this area with a survey of historic structures and places would not only be appropriate for the greater study of Elk River, but would also greatly aid the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in their planning efforts or when reviewing a specific redevelopment proposal. Other places are trying to create a "Downtown Area" to instill a sense of community. • We have one. Let's clearly identify what we have before it is gone, you can only tear something down once. d Ai/ • City of Elkti.

The Mayor has been asked to make a new appointment to the HRA. Commissioner Huntington's letter suggests the HRA consider the transitional housing needs of the community. The Central MN Housing Partnership is completing the housing market analysis as authorized by the HRA earlier this year. The CMHP will be present at the regular • July HRA meeting to discuss housing issues. In addition, staff has received an informal request from a developer for the City's issuance of tax-exempt housing bonds. The City has participated in tax-exempt bonds for private housing and business development projects in the past. The State of MN allocates its total tax-exempt bond allocation to a variety of uses including single-family housing, multi-family housing,manufacturing and other qualifying facilities. In order to access this pool, a developer must obtain a supporting resolution from the City. The City has no liability in connection with the bond allocation nor does it have any liability for the repayment of the bonds. In 1999, the City Council directed staff to draft a policy for the use and evaluation of tax- exempt bonding. Staff will be presenting a draft policy for review by the HRA and EDA in July. Within the policy, the City may establish affordability requirements that the housing development applicant must meet. • • losg 2 le May 20,2001 Linda Huntington 1105 Lion's Park Dr.#323 Elk River,MN 55330 Dear HRA Commissioners, It is with deep sadness that I am giving my resignation as a Commissioner on the Board of the HRA.

Never in my life have I had such absenteeism from something so important to me as I have had for my • HRA commitment. I seem to be running in every direction,including spending much of my time in Central Minnesota with my parents. I simply cannot continue to be spread so thin. I apologize for my lack of participation over the last several months. I feel I must step down so someone new can have the opportunity to represent our community. I had great hopes of eventually working towards creating affordable housing in Elk River. It is something that I did not hear addressed during my year of service. I believe we need transitional housing as well. At CAER I see clients that are homeless with no where to go. We send them either to St.Cloud or the Twin Cities to find shelter. At Abba Crisis Pregnancy Center,the young pregnant women with no where to go are also sent out of this community to St.Cloud. For families devastated by domestic violence,Rivers of Hope also refers folks to shelters out of Elk River. I think it's time we stop sending people out of their community for help. I would have loved the opportunity to see any of these types of housing situations created right here in Elk River. Thank you for allowing me to serve with you for this brief time,I have learned a great deal.
