Following the June 8, 1998, City Council meeting, staff retained A.A.C. Roof Consulting,
Inc. through RHA Architects, Inc. to prepare specifications and perform other project
duties as outlined in their proposal concerning replacement of the Library's roof.
Specifications were prepared and reviewed by staff on June 17, advertisement for bids
was published in the Focus of June 25, a pre-bid conference was held on June 29, and
bids were opened on July 10.
Based on the bids submitted (see attached bid tabulation form), the consultant (see
attached memo from William Holman) and staff are recommending that Council accept
the bid from Dalco Roofing for $86,237. The bid does not include a price for
disconnecting and connecting the mechanical systems on the rooftop, and estimates for
this work range from $2,500 to $5,000 for which a separate purchase order will be made.
The consultant's fee, based on the successful bid, will be $4,743.
The motion passed at the June 8, 1998, City Council meeting stated "with funding
sources to be determined." Because this project had not been budgeted, Council needs to
allocate funds to be used to pay bills related to the project. An account number (411-
45500-0000) has been set up so that expenditures can be tracked. Possible sources of
funding identified are: Fund Balance, General Buildings, Cable, or Liquor. Based on
information from the Finance Director (see attached memo from William Elrite), staff is
recommending use of the undesignated Fund Balance of the General Fund to cover the
total cost of the project at $95,980.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter
into an agreement with Dalco Roofing and Sheet Metal Inc. for the purchase and
installation of a roof at the Library for the amount of $86,237 based on their low, formal
written bid.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to appropriate and transfer $95,980 from the
General Fund undesignated fund balance to the capital improvements general government
building fund to cover expenditures related to re-roofing the City's Library.

LIBRARY ROOF REPLACEMENT
Th/s memo is a follow-up to our previous conversation regarding funding for the library roof.
Over the years fund balances in most funds have been exhausted for special projects and have not
been replenished. The liquor, cable, and general building improvements funds all have
reasonably small fund balances. Liquor has no available fund balance because of the amounts
that have been put into the infrastructure fund and capital equipment replacement funds in recent
As a result, I am recommend the General Fund fund balance be used for the library roof repairs.
At the end of 1997 the General Fund had an undesignated fund balance of $541,915. Of this,
$326,555 was used for the 1998 budget, leaving an undesignated fund balance in the General
Fund of $215,360, from which the City Council may appropriate funds for the library roof
project. The following motion may be used to accomplish this:
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to appropriate and transfer $
from the General Fund undesignated fund balance to the capital improvements
general government buildings fund to cover expenditures related to re-roofing the
City's library.
This motion, in addition to the motion authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to enter into the
ageement for the roof replacement, is all that should be needed. If you need any additional
assistance from me, please let me know.

Program Grant Application/Concept Plan DATE: July 10, 1998
BACKGROUND:
For the grant application associated with the Livable Communities Demonstration Program, the staff has
been working with a group of people to consider a housing development on the property currently owned
by Northwestern Electronics Institute (NEI). The proposal is to do a combined townhouse and senior
housing development project on N-E1 property to serve as a transition block between the central business
district and low-density residential areas to the north and west. The project would be substantially the
same in concept as that proposed by the Minnesota Design Team.
This special meeting is being held to allow the developer to present to you a visual, conceptual rendering
of the development proposal. Representatives of Real Estate Equities Development Company and ESG
Architects will be present to discuss the proposed project. We have also invited Shirley Barnes, CEO of
Crest View Corporation, and Chuck Detman, NEI. We have attached a draR Resolution to be approved
by the City Council if the conceptual plan is satisfactory to the City Council.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to waive the reading of Resolution 98- , there being ample copies available to the public.

ITEM: Livable Communities Funding Application BY: Joe Hollmat~~' BY:
NO: DATE: July 17, 1998
Issue Statement:
Application for the 1998 Livable Communities Demonstration Account.
Background:
Attached please find a proposed final draft of the application which is due on Wednesday, July 22.
Please note that this application is nearly in final form, but it is still in need of some revisions and
clarification in certain areas. The general content of the application will not be changing however,
unless deemed necessary by the City Council. There will also be additional attachments such as
letters of support, financial summary tables, and possibly revised concept site plans submitted with
the final application.
The funding request from the Livable Communities Demonstration Account is $741,000.00. This
will be utilized for property acquisition for the 26 owner-occupied townhomes, 70 affordable
senior units, and 18 low income tax credit units. A detailed breakdown is provided in the actual
application.
Please note that there are still some issues that will need to be resolved prior to actual
development of the project site. The primary issue being the need to replace the lost parking
spaces for NEI. According to the most recent concept plan, there will be 300 of'the 500 existing
parking spaces remaining. Relocation of these lost spaces may be at a cost to the City.
Possibilities include:
· Developing a shared parking agreement with the other institutional uses in the area;
· Acquiring and cleating property in the area for a parking lot; or,
· Construction of structured parking which costs roughly between $10,000 - $15,000 per
stall;
The application has been sent to the Urban Design Center to solicit some of their thoughts and
ideas regarding our application.
Recommended Motion:
Please see the previous Council Letter for the July 14 meeting for the recommended motion

5. SITE LOCATION
Descdbe the location and size of the proiect area. Include maps (as attachments; see Sec. 19)
identifying the location and the adiacent land uses and development. Include relevant excerpts from the
city's comprehensive plan for the subiect area.
The general project area is focused around downtown Columbia Heights which can be
identified as south of 42"d Avenue and north of 37t~ Avenue primarily along Central
Avenue (see Attachment 20.a.1.). The entire project area is approximately 58 acres in
size. The following list depicts a rough breakdown of the existing land use in this area:
· Commercial 30 acres
· Single/Two Family Residential 5 acres
· Condominium 7 acres
· Multiple Family Residential 3 acres
· Institutional 13 acres
The primary focus for this application is a 7.45 acre parcel in the northwestern portion
of the general project area. This parcel (825 41st Avenue NE) is owned by
Northwestern Electronics Institute (NEI). Currently, the property contains NEI's
educational building (119,000 square feet), mechanical building, tennis courts, and
parking. The lot immediately adjacent to this parcel on the northwest corner contains
one single family home, and two lots off the northeast corner of the parcel are also part
of the focus area for this application (see Attachment 20.a.2.).
The general project area is surrounded primarily by single and two family residential
land uses while the subject parcel is also bounded by single family residential on the
west and north and commercial to the east. The property across 41st Avenue to ~the
south is a mix of single family residential, institutional, and commercial.
The current City Comprehensive Plan designates the area around the subject parcel for
future medium density residential development which is geared toward townhouse
development. The remainder of the general project area is designated for commercial
use along Central Avenue.
6. CATEGORY (Refer to Growth Strategy Map attached to Guidelines and Criteria).
The proposal is:
Located in the Urban Core.
A redevelopment or infill project located in the Urban Area.
Located in a developing portion of the Urban Area.
Located in a Rural Growth Center.

7. HISTORY (1-2 pages)
Describe the history and background of the proiect area, such as previous land uses and activities,
development or redevelopment history.
The general project area for this application has traditionally been used for commercial
operations in the 100 years of Columbia Heights' existence. One of the first
commercial sites on record in Columbia Heights was a saloon at the northwest corner
of 40t~ Avenue and Central Avenue which is essentially the center of the general project
area. Over the years 40t~ and Central has seen many businesses come and go. The
1920's saw an explosion of new business development in the City, primarily near the
intersection of 40t~ and Central. In fact, many of the buildings that are standing today
were built during this boom period, including the Anoka County Government Center
and the Heights Theater.
In the late 1970's a Downtown CBD Revitalization Plan was created for this area of
Columbia Heights. According to that plan: "From a historical and economic point of
view, downtown Columbia Heights, the 40~ and Central area, has been considered to
be the central retail node of north Minneapolis." The broad goals of revitalization as
stated in the plan are to improve the physical, economic, and social environment and
increase civic pride in the downtown area. The three major elements of this previous
redevelopment project included: (1) Private renovation of existing buildings; (2) Public
improvements including new sidewalks, lighting, parking area, landscaping and street
furniture; and, (3) new commercial and office development.
A major redevelopment effort did take place into the 1980's in an effort to keep the
sense of industry and energy alive which promoted the original business district to grow
there. Those efforts produced the clearing of 14 acres and the erection of a parking
ramp, a new shopping center and a six-story office building, all near the intersection of
40~ and Central Ave. A Downtown Tax Increment Financing District was established
as part of this redevelopment effort.
The general project area contains NEI which has been located on the subject parcel
since 1982. The original building was constructed in 1926 and was added to in 1951.
This properly was first used as the High School for Independent School District 13 and
was later turned into the Junior High School. At one time, the property contained a
football field, a play field, and tennis courts. The tennis courts, original building, and
addition are still there today.
8. PROJECT SUMMARY
Columbia Heights
LCDA Application
Page 3
In 100 words or less, summarize the proiect you are proposing.
The primary focus of the project is the redevelopment of property currently owned by
Northwest Electronics Institute (NEI). This area will be redeveloped into a transition
block between existing commercial along Central Avenue and single family residential
development surrounding the subject parcel on the west and north.
The redevelopment will consist of a mix of owner-occupied townhouses, Iow income
housing tax credit rental townhouse units, and affordable senior housing units. Along
with the redevelopment of this site, the proposal includes a potential transit hub in the
project area and development of linkages between the transition block and existing
amenities.
9. PROJECT ELEMENTS (3-5 pages)
Describe proiect goals, concept, scope. Specify the types, quantities, locations and timing or phasing of
proposed uses.
List types, quantities and cost of housing in Attachment A.
List number, type and tenure (owner or renter) of housing units affordable at 50 percent or less of median
income ($30,400, $760 or less rent) and up to 80 percent of median ($48,640 up to $128,000 sales
pdce). Include information on mechanisms to ensure continued affordability of housing.
Describe how the proiect will provide a mix of or inteqrate housinq, transportation, employment,
commercial and other uses. Specify the effects of any public infrastructure investment that is a part of
the proiect.
The proposed project essentially has two components. One is the overall revitalization
of downtown Columbia Heights. The second component which will be the primary
focus of this application is the redevelopment of a 7.45 acre parcel of land that is
currently owned by NEI.
The long-range project goal is to revitalize the downtown area of Columbia Heights.
This will be accomplished through a variety of redevelopment efforts, some of which
have already been initiated. Development of the proposed transition block will be a
spark for the entire downtown area. This transition block will provide a buffer and
gradual separation between existing commercial along Central Avenue and existing
single family residential to the west of the subject parcel.
Redevelopment of the transition block will incorporate a mix of life cycle housing
opportunities at densities higher than normally seen in Columbia Heights (see
Attachment 20.a.3.)o The following provides a breakdown of the proposed housing mix:
Columbia Heights
LCDA Application
Page 4
26 owner-occupied townhouse units;
18 Low Income Tax Credit townhouse units; and,
70 affordable senior units.
The 26 owner-occupied townhomes will be available at a range of prices and sizes.
The following provides a proposed breakdown of townhouse prices:
· 6 will be available at $108,000;
· 6 will be available at $113,000;
° 4 will be available at $125,000;
· 4 will be available at $129,000;
· 3 will be available at $130,000; and,
° 3 will be available at $140,000.
This proposal indicates that 12 of the 26 owner-occupied units will be available at a
cost that is within the affordability threshold ($120,000).
This proposal will leave 300 parking stalls for NEI use. Note that there are
approximately 500 spaces available for NEI now and they project a future need of 600
spaces. This loss of parking will be accommodated through shared parking
agreements and/or development of a new parking lot in the area. The proposal will
also require the removal of one city-owned building along Central Avenue which is
currently vacant and removal and relocation of an existing locksmith operation at the
southwest corner of 42"d Avenue and Central Avenue.
The City of Columbia Heights has recently completed a Life Cycle Housing Study which
identified future housing needs in the City. The study recommended the addition of
approximately 99 ownership townhouses or condos by the Year 2010. It also identified
affordable rental and move-up housing as being needed by the Year 2010. The trend
in Columbia Heights is toward a somewhat older population, as is the trend in the entire
metro area. Housing needs for this older population will include attached ownership or
rental housing for seniors. The proposed project will take a large step toward
implementing the recommendations of the Life Cycle Housing Study and providing the
necessary housing options for the population. Note that Columbia Heights has already
achieved the targets established for a Livable Community.
It is expected that 1999 will be a big year for Columbia Heights. Should the funding for
the transition block proposal be approved, the project will advance quickly. Ground
breaking is anticipated during the summer of 1999. Although, several steps will need to
be accomplished prior to the initiation of any construction.
· Step 1 - determine funding availability - November, 1998.
· Step 2 - work with NEI to finalize property acquisition while ensuring adequate
parking to meet NEI's current and future needs - winter, 1998/1999.

Step 3 - finalize redevelopment plans and determine exact nature of
partnerships, primarily between the City and Real Estate Equities Development
Company and Crest View Corporation - winter, 1998/1999.
Step 4 - obtain necessary planning and zoning approvals from the City -
winter/spring 1999.
Step 5 - begin construction - summer, 1999.
Anoka County and Metro Transit are working with the City of Columbia Heights to
identify an appropriate location for a transit hub within the downtown area. Sites being
discussed are all located within a couple blocks of the transition block. A transit hub
will serve Columbia Heights by bringing patrons and potential employees into the
business community. It will also provide a valuable service to NEI by providing an
alternative mode of transportation for students. A number of potential sites have been
discussed and evaluated, and the parties involved are narrowing down the options to
determine the most suitable location for the hub. It is anticipated that an appropriate
site can be located by the end of 1998.
The transition block will be linked to existing and future amenities in the downtown
area. These linkages will be accomplished by identifying pedestrian ways connecting
the transition block to commercial and civic facilities.
The existing commercial environment will be enhanced through streetscaping. Also,
the potential transit hub will provide an opportunity to bring employees into the City.
Currently, there is a Genesis Business Incubator Program located in the project area
that will benefit from the commercial enhancements and transit hub. This incubator
program is located in the office building at the southeast corner of 40t~ Avenue and
Central Avenue and contains several start-up businesses. The streetscaping and
pedestrian mall concept will be addressed in more detail during the current
comprehensive planning process.
The City is also currently working on establishing a city-wide bike loop which will
provide a non-automobile connection to downtown for the rest of the community. This
bike loop will connect with regional trails in the area. Planning the bike loop is being
done this summer and it is expected to be operable during the summer of 1999 (see
Attachment 20.a.4.).
10. SPECIAL FEATURES

11,
LINKAGES WITHIN THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, TO ADJACENT
NEIGHBORHOODS (1-2 pages)
a. Descdbe the land use, pedestrian a'nd transit connections within the development or proiect area.
The long-range goal will be to link the transition block to existing and future amenities
in the downtown area and a possible community center complex. The feasibility of this
community center complex needs to be studied in more detail by the City. This
complex was proposed by the Minnesota Design Team and is located along 40t~
Avenue where the City Hall and Huset Park are currently located (see Attachment
20.a.5.).
Other amenities in and around the project area include Wargo Park which is adjacent to
the proposed transition block, Labelle pond and Labelle Park, the public library, and a
shopping mall located on the northeast corner of 40t~ Avenue and Central Avenue.
These existing and future amenities will all be connected via a pedestrian mall type
facility as well as the Citywide bike Iccp. Currently, there are sidewalks connecting the
transition block to downtown Col~mbia Heights, but these will be enhanced to provide a
safer, more pleasant pedestrian atmosphere. Aisc, there is existing streetscaping
provided near the intersection of 40t~ Avenue and Central Avenue which was part of the
redevelopment efforts of the 1980's. New streetscaping and lighting will enhance and
be consistent with the existing materials.
b. Describe the area surrounding the proiect area, through use of land use data, demographic data or
other means. Briefly describe any redevelopment activities in surroundinq neighborhoods during the last
five years. Include pertinent information on relationships between the area of proposed development
and adiacent neiqhborhoods.
Columbia Heights is an inner-ring suburb located approximately 15 minutes northeast
of Downtown Minneapolis (7 miles). The City encompasses 3.4 total square miles
(2,241.3 acres). According to the 1990 Census, Columbia Heights has a population of
18,910 which is 95.6% White, 1.2% Black, 1.1% American Indian, 1.4% Asian, 1.4%
Hispanic, and .62% other races. The median age of the City is 31. More recent
Columbia Heights
LCDA Application
Page 7
population estimates indicate a population of 18,699 with an average of 2.38 persons
per household (1997).
The area surrounding the general project area is used almost exclusively for single and
two family residential. However, commercial land use does continue north of 42"d
Avenue along Central Avenue. Redevelopment of the subject parcel into the proposed
transition block will provide a buffer between the surrounding single and two family
residential properties and the commercial land uses along Central Avenue.
The City undertook a significant residential redevelopment in 1994 of a two block area
approximately 4-5 blocks north and east of the project area. This effort consisted of the
removal of several deteriorating two family dwellings and replaced them with quality
single family housing.
Currently, there are two redevelopment efforts underway in the general project area.
An approximately 3 million dollar private redevelopment on both the east and west
sides of Central Avenue north of 37"' Avenue has been proposed. This will provide a
gateway into Columbia Heights. A second redevelopment is located on the northwest
corner of 42"d Avenue and Central Avenue. Existing deteriorated buildings on this site
will be demolished, and a new office building will be constructed.
12. RELATIONSHIP TO REGIONAL GROWTH STRATEGY (1 page or less)
a. Descdbe how the proposal implements the Regional Growth Strategy.
The proposed project implements several elements of the regional growth strategy by
redeveloping underutilized property in the heart of the City. These elements are briefly
described below.
The Urban Area
· Columbia Heights is located in what has been identified as the Urban Area in the
Regional Growth Strategy. The project proposal is focused on the
redevelopment of a block of underutilized land within the City. Providing the
proposed housing opportunities at increased densities will entice regional
residents to relocate into the urban area lessening the need for urban sprawl
while utilizing existing infrastructure.
Land Use and Transportation
· Providing increased density housing along the fringe of downtown Columbia
Heights enhances the commercial environment of the central business district,
and will make it easier for senior citizens to take advantage of the services
offered in the area. The potential of providing a transit hub within the project
Columbia Heights
LCDA Application
Page 8
area will decrease people's dependence on automobile traffic while making the
City more attractive for potential employees for area businesses.
Expanding Housing Opportunities in the Region
· The proposed redevelopment of the subject property will provide life-cycle
housing opportunities for the regional population. The project will include
owner-occupied townhouses, Iow income tax-credit rental townhouses, and
affordable senior units.
Joint Planning
· Planning and implementation of this project includes a broad range of partners,
including: City, County, State, private for-profit, and private non-profit agencies.
b. Describe the connections with respect to employment and transportation between the proiect area and
the subre.qion or region.
The general project area is currently connected to the rest of the region via personal
automobile oriented routes and existing bus routes. The proposed transit hub will
further connect Columbia Heights to the region while lessening the need for personal
vehicle traffic. This transit hub will expand the potential employment base for local
businesses by providing the opportunity to bring more people into the City via transit.
13. PLANNING PROCESS (1 page or less)
Descdbe the planning process for developing the proposal, including the process to date, and future
planning.
During the spring of 1998, the Minnesota Design Team visited Columbia Heights for a
weekend. One town meeting was held where City residents were divided into small
groups and asked to respond to five questions. These questions ranged from - listing
favorite things about Columbia Heights to needed improvements in the City. These
responses were submitted in written form and then passed around, discussed, and
prioritized in the small groups. A second town meeting was held the following night.
The Design Team spent the day evaluating the comments and developing
recommendations. One of the more frequently listed issues was the need to revitalize
Columbia Heights' downtown area. Subsequently, this was addressed in several of the
Design Team recommendations.
Some of the key points for downtown redevelopment as suggested by the Design Team
are as follows:
· Infill of the commercial property is important;
· Many of the buildings in the downtown area could be reconstructed at zero foot
Columbia Heights
LCDA Application
Page 9
lot lines to create more of a "Main Street" atmosphere and would also have a
calming effect on the traffic along Central Avenue (see Attachments 20.a.6. and
20.a.7.);
The transition block concept was proposed; and,
A Community Center concept was proposed near the existing City Hall and
Huset Park which is actually a few blocks away from the downtown, but would
eventually be connected to the downtown through pedestrian and bike linkages.
The existing City Comprehensive Plan which was completed in 1992 also denotes a
portion of the general project area for future commercial redevelopment, and a large
portion of this designated area is currently in the process of a private redevelopment of
approximately 3 million dollars. This private redevelopment will establish a gateway
into Columbia Heights. As mentioned in a previous section, the existing
Comprehensive Plan has the subject parcel in an area planned for future medium
density residential development which is being proposed in this application.
Columbia Heights is currently updating the Comprehensive Plan, and downtown
redevelopment is a key issue being addressed. Public meetings are being conducted
with the business community and the residential community to discuss revitalization as
well as the many other issues facing the City.
As part of the current comprehensive planning process, additional planning will be
directed toward establishing linkages to connect the community to key amenities.
Subjects such as streetscaping, pedestrian malls, bike routes, transportation routes,
and lighting will be addressed. Links to the downtown will be very important to
enhance the pedestrian environment of the area and to bolster the commercial/retail
environment of downtown Columbia Heights.
