10. Land Sale (Grain Belt Historic Office Building, 1215 Marshall St NE [Part]):
Report referred back which recommended approval of the sale of a portion of the property to Kristina Oman or an affiliated limited liability company, for the fair market value of $1.00, subject to conditions in staff report ( City Council Action 5/8/2009: Report lost & referred back to CD Committee
Staff Report: 1215 Marshall RCA; 1215 Marshall MAP ; 1215 Marshall SURVEY
Action Taken: Approved direction to staff relating to terms of sale for this property: An Open Request For Proposals (RFP); The RFP will be issued for a 30-day period; The RFP will be both publicly advertised and sent as well to previous proposers on the building; The RFP will state that the building will be sold for Fair Reuse Value, which given the water infiltration and related environmental issues ($600,000), has been estimated to be $1 by CPED's appraiser; The RFP will state that the building will be sold "as is", that the City will not undertake any additional work, but that the developer may also need to install a new storm sewer, the estimated cost of which would be $245,000. This is a new cost to the development project. Due to a new compliance schedule issued by the MPCA, the negotiated agreement to temporarily allow stormwater to run across a portion of the Grain Belt site that is to be developed for housing will likely no longer be valid and a stormwater connection mandated; The developer, as part of its submission, must provide: a) A narrative description of their experience doing historic rehabilitation; b) A development pro forma; and c) A Letter of Intent for project financing.
