The financing structure for the 4600 block between Pierce and Fillmore Street involves
consideration of three resolutions.
Resolution 94-40 approves redevelopment budget for the 4600 block. As it stands, the
redevelopment budget includes the use of the HRA tax lev~ for a period totalling ten years.
Likewise, City staff is proposing to use Tax Increment Financing generated from new house
values and to a lesser extent a one percent appreciation of the overall property values within
the Sheffield neighborhood. Attached please find a preliminary tax increment analysis that
calls for generation of tax increments beginning in 1996 and ending in the year 2009. The
capture of TIFs within the neighborhood will provide for the opportunity to further reduce the
$71,000 HRA lev~. Please find attached an exhibit detailing the $1,330,000 expenditure and
revenue program, together with the adopting resolution.
REGO~NDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies
available to the public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 94-40, Approving Redevelopment Project Budget
for 4600 block of Pierce Street/Fillmore Street.
Resolution 94-41 calls for the combining of the Central Business District CBD TIF District
with the Sheffield Redevelopment District. This enables the City to use any surplus TIF
payments or repayments from the $1.2 million dollar interfund loans to the CBD TIP District.
In the event Columbia Park Clinic prepays their $490,000 special assessment~ $300,000 is
available for the project. Columbia Park officials indicated that the prepayment will be made
within the next thirty days.
In any event, Springsted Financial Advisors have provided a second opinion review of
Publicorp's original analysis of the Central Business District/TIF project. According to Dan
Hartman, the original projects for the TIF district and the restructuring of the bonds were
undertaken in an extremely cautious or conservative fashion. The projections do not call for
appreciation of TIF tax values, interest earnings in the fund, or other miscellaneous
revenues. The cash flow analysis also assumes that no tax revenues are generated from the
Columbia Heights Business Center.

As you can see, scenario A-1 allows for the use of $300,000 from the Columbia Park properties
assessment prepayment be drawn on to finance the Sheffield project and ending the debt service
account with a balance of $1,840,912. Scenario B-1 provides continued payment of the Columbia
Park properties assessment, leaving an ending balance in the TIF Fund of $2,413,840 F fund.
In either case, the cumulative cash balances would allow for repayment of the loans or
utilization of excess funds. Please understand that surpluses in the TIF funds would require
early retirement debt or dissolving of the TIP districts. In other words, cumulative cash
balances are obviously available for other redevelopment uses with the TIF districts.
RECONHENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies
available to the public.
RECOHHENDED MOTION= Move to adopt Resolution 94-41, Approving Modification of Downtown G>B>D>
Redevelopment Project and the Sheffield Neighborhood Redevelopment and Housing Development
Project Boundaries.
Resolution 94-42 directs Staff to prepare a Tax Increment Financing Plan to establish
necessary hearings to approve the plan. Springsted Financial Advisors have prepared various
scenarios for a Tax Increment Financing Project covering the Sheffield neighborhood. This
information was very conservatively prepared, but nevertheless shows that a redevelopment
project on the 4600 block and general appreciation to the neighborhood will develop a
significant tax increment. City staff has worked with Gary Winters at Holmes and Graven to
determine the eligibility of this project for tax increment financing. It should be noted
that there will be some overall loss in tax value and HACA/LGA penalty to the City by lowering
the value of the duplexes to that of vacant land. Many cities have been successful in gaining
special bills that waive the HAGA/LGA penalty. The City will need the assistance of Anoka
County to make tax increment a component of this project.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies
available to the public.
RECO~HENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 94-42, Directing City Manager to Prepare Tax
Increment Financing Plan, and Establishing Tax Increment Financing District, and Directing
City Manager and HRA to Public Notice and Hold Public Hearing to Approve Tax Increment
Financing Plan.

Dear Pat:
AttlcM)d to thio letter ere tho two IMnariol that 8prlnglted Incorporated hie put to0ither
relative to the City of Columbia Heights and It8 tax increment financing cash flow for all of its
®xlating dlltrtote.
Scenario 1-A e#umet no additional delinquent taxe8 paid end a prepayment of ipecial
isse#me~l on the p!rking ramp Ioc~tad It 40th and Central. In developing thit Iceniflo, we
.u~ed $100,000 of the prepayment which is part of the other reVenuel shown in Column 9. The ·
footnote, which references other revonuel, thOWi that there are other revenuel Gaming from
parking ramp operitionl 'and i ~pald Ipacial Bile#merit. NI revenuei from tho tax
increment diitrk~i themaelv# are it their Gurmnt oc)lle~tion level with no [nflattormry rioter.
Thil ii I COnlervitive epprolch, but one thlt II beat in proje=ting tax Increment dlstrim.
Oesh flow, el Indt~ted in Column 19, Is pceltlve throughout with laq~ Gumulative belincei at
the end. It b worth noting that thole large.balancel am due to'the $1,263,024 loan mede to
the districts, which 18 refleolod In' the beginn'l~ balan~. Thll ,would india, ate to mo tl~t il ii I~fe
to e#ume that the other $300,000 of the parkh~l ramp ailesimeflt muld be made available for
other Ul~l.
Scenario B-1 Ihow~ no prepayment of the special elsolsment on the parking ramp; and, as
you (=an see, thoma funds are available to the tax Iht, resent districtl throughout which ~reatem
an even more positive olmh flow relative to (mmulative balances in the dlstriola.

Dear Gary:
Enclosed please find information on the Sheffield TIN Project and the combined TIN District cashflow
status.
I have enclosed the 1993 Assessor's value for the Sheffield neighborhood, and also attached a map that
lays out the 1994 values for the same parcels. As I indicated, the twenty parcels on Block 1 (4600 block
between Pierce and Fillmore Streets) will be taken down to land value or alternatively five of the
parcels will be at land value and the other fifteen parcels will become tax exempt. The other
assumption is that between sixteen and twenty new homes will be constructed over a three year period,
beginning in July, 1995. The homes will conservatively be valued at $100,000, including $20,000 for
land value. I expect that the district could generate approximate $20,000 of new TIN and $5,000 of
appreciated TIN. I assume the district would expire in the year 2009, as it would be part of the C.B.D.-
TIN district.
I have also included information concerning the cash flows on the city's combined tax increment
districts. As we discussed, the city loaned approximately $1.2 million dollars to those districts in order
to offset the problems associated with the Columbia Heights Business Center tax delinquency.
Publicorp's calculations show that the $1.2 million dollars would be available in future years, even if
no back or future taxes were collected from the Columbia Heights Business Center. Please note that
the City is also expecting a prepayment of $490,000 special assessment on the Columbia Park Clinic.
Publicorp only assumed use of two years special assessment payments in our formula, thus, freeing up
about $300,000 of the prepayment.
I would request Sprinpted's opinion if it would be financially prudent to develop a community
redevelopment revolving fund to capture surplus TIN monies in the future, or alternatively to use any
excess TIN's in the Sheffield neighborhood. Hopefully, your analysis of both the Sheffield TIN project
and status of the cash flows in the combined TIN districts could be made available by July 13, 1994.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
City Manager

Resolution 94-43 authorizes the.purchase of two of the four remaining duplex build~ns8 within
the Sheffield block. The proposed resolution calls for the purchase of property at 4601/03
Fillmore St. owned by Donald Drabant ~n the amount of $69,900 and purchase of property at
4619/21 Fillmore St. owned by Gary Knutson ~n the amount of $69,000. ! have prepared a
comparison of appraisal values, status of negotiations, and possible condemnation costs.
Additionally, please f~nd ~nformation on the cost of tenant relocation associated with three
of the four rema~n~n$ parcels. The Drabant property is currently vacant, and accordingly, the
City is not compelled to pay relocation costs. '
At this point, ye are still hav~ng difficulty arriving at final prices on property at 4624/26
Pierce St. and 4648/50 Pierce St. As an alternate or additional motion, City staff is
recommending that the City Council direct the City Hanager to prepare the necessary documents
to call for the condemnation of the property. Hopefully over the next thirty days, City staff
can either arrive at a negotiated purchase price for the property or alternatively, present
the condemnation documents to the City Council for approval.

ITEM, BY,~~~
In coordination with the acquisition of the five remaining duplexes in the target bock
(4600 block of Fillmore and Pierce), there are eight families that need to be relocated.
Due to State and Federal requirements and lack of current City expertise in relocation of
dlsplacees(and the benefits they are entitled to), it is best to have a professional
relocation consultant assist the City with the relocation efforts.

Not to exceed cost of $6,000.
2e
Conworth, Inc., Mpls., MN - $10,000 to $12,000
Not to exceed $12,000.
Professional Development Services, Mpls., MN
Not to exceed cost of $7,800 if no HUD Funds are used
and $8,400 if HUD Funds are used.
Attached are a copy of a memo to the City Manager, proposed contract with Wilson
Development and copies of the Wilson, Conworth, and Professional Development Service
proposals.
RECOMMENDED MOTION= Move to approve authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to contract
with Wilson Development Services to provide the necessary relocation services to the eight
families being displaced by the Sheffield Neighborhood Redevelopment Project in the 4600
blocks of Fillmore and Pierce Streets at a cost not to exceed $6,000.

Relocation Program
Dear Dost
I am writing to submi~ a proposal in response to your request for
proposals for relocation consultan% services as detailed below.
Wilson Development Services is a real estate consulting business that
specializes in assisting public and private entities wi%h their com-
munity development and real estate development needs. Acquisition and
relocation activities constitute a substantial portion of our work.
Pro£ess/onal
Dan Wilson - Principal
Dan Wilson, the owner of ~he firm, has twenty-three years experience
with acquisition and relocation activities under the Uniform Relo-
cation Act. I have worked with =he UniformAct since its inception in
1970. My twenty-three years of experience provides me wi~h a perspec-
tive and practical knowledge of the UniformAct. I believe that I
have an understanding of the fundamental intent of the Act, as well
as, the current interpretation of the regulations.
Self,employed for thir%eenyears, I have represented numerous munici-
palities and public agencies throughout the Stateof Minnesota for
both residential and business displacements. I am the primary contact
person for all clients and supervise the activities of associates.
Z have served as ins%ructor for the Department of Housing and Urban
Development and MN Dept. of Trade & Economic Development for Uniform
Act training seminars. Prior to being self-employed, I worked for the
Minneapolis, LeSueur, and Waconia Housing Authorities.
Betty Grimm - Associate
Betty Grimm had been in the real estate industry as a realtor for ten
years prior to joining Wilson Development Services as a relocation
consultant. She has worked successfully with the Uniform Act, both
residential and commercial displacements, for the past six years.
Prior to engaging in the real estate industry, Ms. Grimm worked for
eight years in the delivery of services to ec.onomica.lly disadvantaged
individuals providing her with valuable experiences zn working with

PROPOSAL FOR RELOCATION 8~RVICE8
persons in emotionally charged and difficult situations with the
Carver County Mental Health program.
Betty Grimm and I work as a team on each displacement project. One of
us is always the primary contact person, but we remain familiar with
each other's files. The team approach pe~tts as to provide immediate
response to displaces telephone calls when one of us is out of the
office. It also permits us to shift workloads should a displaces have
a preference to work with one of us. Our team approach also assures
for uninterrupted service.
Ac~uisition/Rslocation Approach
It is important to understand our approach .to the relocation process.
We view each displaces as a participant in the decision-making pro-
cess. Very few people will, in their lifetime, be displaced by public
action and, therefore, they are faced with making decisions in an un-
familiar area. They can be vulnerable and frequently troubled. Most
problems develop when displacees feel that they do no~ have a voice in
the process and that they have no options or choices. We are success-
ful because we are able to recognize the displacses perspective and
respond to their needs. We start by building trust by allowing them to
state their needs. We then provide reliable and timely information in
an understanding and respectful manner.
We clearly represent the displacing agency. This does not, however,
mean we will use our expertise to take advantage of a displaces. Our
role as acquisition/relocation consultants is to interpret the provi-
sions of the Uniform Relocation Act and assure compliance by all par-
ties. This allows us to be facilitators rather than adversaries. We
believe all displacees should receive their full legal relocation ben-
elite, while adhering to a 'least costly' approach for the dis-placing
agency. We expect that our work will be audited for compliance and
that we must account for every dollar expended.
Previous Work Experience
Wilson Development Service, previously named Wilson Management Serv-
ice, has provided acquisition and relocation assistance since 1980.
Prior to that, Dan Wilson provided acquisition and relocation services
to the cities of Waconia, LeSueur and Minneapolis as a staff person
dating back ko 1970.
The following is a list of current and recent clients who have uti-
lized our acquisition and relocation services:

tion Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Ac~ of 1970, as

Proposal for Relocation Services
Sheffield Neighborhood Redevelopment Project
Dear Mr. Schneider:
Thank you for your phone call to Jacquelyne Wentworth, and for
giving Conworth, Inc. an opportunity to work again with the
Columbia Heights HRA in completing the above-mentioned project.
We would like to submit a proposal to provide relocation services
to the eight tenant households requiring displacement for the
Sheffield Neighborhood project.
We estimate that our fees for completion of interviews,
comparable housing research and referrals, appropriate relocation
claims, and counseling services for these relocatees would range
from $10,000.00 to $12,000.00.
Please note that our hourly rate is $60.00 an hour and we will
bill only for the actual time spent on the HRA's project. There
is no additional or separate charge for mileage, copies, support
services, and so forth. We are presenting a cost "range" because
it is difficult to anticipate, prior to interviewing the tenants,
all the situations one might encounter. We will, however,
consider the $12,000.00 top end of the above range to be a "not-
to-exceed" figure.
We understand that we will work directly with you on this
project, and that you will advise us as to when we should
initiate the relocation interviews and process.
Because we have worked with your Agency in the past, rather than
executing a formal contract, we feel that your signature of
approval on the bottom of this letter will be sufficient for our
records. If you wish a formal contract, just let us know and we
will prepare one for your review.

NO: 2 CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL
ITEMs SHEFFIELD LAND USE AND SITE DESIGN BY~ PATRICK HENTGES BY~
STUDY DATE~ 7-15-94 DAT
NOs 2 E
The City Council previously received a copy of McCombs Frank Roos Associates, Inc. study of
the 4600 target block in the Sheffield neishborhood. Please bring the document to the
meeting. The MFR study highlights the following points~
1) The study indicates that the most appropriate land use for the target block is residential
detached owner-occupied housing. New home construction with a market price of $80,000-
$90,000 would be generally more affordable for households within the Columbia Heights
demographic area. This is not to say that the higher home values may result from the
lower land cost in Columbia Heights, a preferential interest by Columbia Heights residents
to locate in the area, and higher construction of value through 'custom upgrades' and
'sweet equity'.
2) The study did not rule out the possibility of attached housing because of some of the
economic advantages such as lower individual unit costs, design control potential for
better project continuity/yard maintenance, and the possibility of common recreational
space. Alternatively, single family detached housing was preferred because it increases
the potential of individualized home designand distinction, reduces density, and may have
a greater tendency towards pride and ownership.
3) The study concluded that the site can accommodate walk-out homes, split entries, full
basement, and 'look out' style homes. Continuance of the public alley would serve little
if any transportation or lot access value as most modern housing styles are developed with
attached garages. The public alley under either an attached housing or detached housing
scenario would only add unnecessary maintenance and security costs; and pose problems with
obtaining walk-out or look out style homes.
4) The study suggests that the minimum floor area, lot size, building set-backs need to
support minimum home floor areas of 800 square feet to approximately 1,000 square feet
plus attached double car garages. It suggests that lot widths be at least 60 feet and
increased at the corner lots to accommodate slightly larger building footprints or
Preferred garage locations/orientations. The study recommends if economics proof
favorable, interior lots should be 63 feet in width with slightly larger corner lots.
Thus, the site could accommodate 16 to 18 lots, as opposed to the current 20. It
suggested that side yard setbacks be increased to 7 feet vs. the current ordinance
requirement of 5 feet.
5) The study recommends draft development guidelines and accompanying exhibits intended to
achieve apparent goals of neighborhood revitalization in part through architecture,
landscape architecture, and pedestrian and vehicle access considerations.
6) The study serves as a resource document to defining and drafting the specific deed or
development restrictions that would cover the construction and house design on the site.
Existence of deed restrictions are commonplace to construction and land development in
growing areas.

The study provides a basic format that can be used in the final draft of a "Request fOr
Proposals' an~ as an evaluation list to assist the City in selecting a builder/developer
for the target block redevelopment.
In summary, the City Council has three items for consideration for them.
The first motion directs Staff to prepare the necessary design work that prepares the block
for development and establishes the minimum design and construction standards in the form of
development guidelines. Of course, I expect that prior to filing individual documents, the
final form will come before the City Council for approval also.
The second motion directs City Staff to solicit a Request for Proposals from
developers/contractors. With the information before us, I expect this process to occur over
the next 60 days in the event tax increment component of this project prevents construction
on the site before January 1, 1995.
As a third alternative motion, the City Council could direct the City Manager to prepare a
marketing plan whereby the City\HRA would market individual lots to contractors or owners,
thus circumventing the need for a private developer/contractor. I suggest not doing this
simultaneously with the solicitation of RFPs from developers/contractors, as it may discourage
interest, if they see that the City does not intend to actually award a proposal in good
faith.
RECOmmENDED MOTION: Move to Direct City Manager to Prepare Necessary Documents for City
Council Approval Establishing Deed Restrictions, Design Guidelines, and Lot Layouts, According
to the Recommendations Outlined in the McCombs Frank Roos Associates, Inc. Report.
RECOmmENDED MOTION: Move to Direct City Manager to Finalize Request for Proposals Soliciting
Build/Developer(s) Interest for Property Located on 4600 Block Between Pierce St. and Fillmore
St. and Establishing September 15, 1994, as Submittal Date.
ALTERNATE MOTION: Move to Direct City Manager to Prepare Marketing Plan for the City/HRASale
of Lots Located on the 4600 Block Between Pierce St. and Fillmore St. to Individuals or
Contractors.

SUBJECT: Sheffield Neighborhood -
Stabilization/Redevelopment Planning
MFRA #9999
Dear Mr. Hentges:
This proposal is written following our telephone conversation on
May 19, 1994 concerning the stabilization/revitalization of the
Sheffield neighborhood; specifically the 4600 Block of Pierce & Fillmore
Streets.
The issues are complex, however, the fact that the City has
undertaken the acquisition of most properties within the block, is a
significant step in revitalizing the area. The second step involves
decisions regarding land use (residential housing type) and the
formulation of Design Development Parameters which will "insure"
neighborhood integrity in the resulting built environment. To approach
a reasonable solution to the question, we propose the City undertake a
Land Use and Site Desiqn Study which will substantially finalize
decisions regarding Land Use and Design Development Standards,
presumably intend to enhance the neighborhood without encumbering
properties beyond reasonable market expectations.
The following are work tasks which will facilitate preparation of
Design Development Program and serve as a City wide "showcase":
Confirm the appropriateness of residential uses for the
property by considerinG the comparative advantages of single-
family detached and attached housing alternatives.
This initial Land Use confirmation procedure will consider
detached homes, townhomes, and clustering concepts taking into
account topographic relief, and neighborhood context. The
importance of this approach is to objectively con~ider various
housing type alternatives.
An Equal Opportunity Employer
Mr. Patrick Hentges

Identify a list of housing design characteristics which
provide variety and avoid monotony and redundancy (this will
include a pallet of exterior building materials, roof slopes,
decks, porches, patios, building elevations, facade deviation,
and roof lines such as; gable ends, dormers, skylight, and
pitch).
Identify a list of site design characteristics which emulate
higher quality residential neighborhoods; identify elements
such as; walkways, fences/screening, driveway design,
foundation plantings, specimen tree plantings, ornamental
plantings, accent gardens, etc.
Determine minimum site floor area ratio, site coverage
(percent), garage standards, and side, rear and front yard
setbacks, and lot width.
Se
Determine and verify the most appropriate home sites (building
pads) within the subject block and recommend floor plans,
i.e., full basement, tuck-under, walk-out or side entry split
foyer. Determine to the extent practical garage locations and
preferred access, whether from a public street, alley or
alternative location. Also determine under various
development schemes the appropriateness of the existing alley,
face-to-face with garage location and home orientation.
e
Prepare Draft Design Development Guidelines for new
construction and/or rehabilitation. Establish requirements to
achieve the apparent goals of neighborhood revitalization,
including architecture, landscape architecture and pedestrian
and vehicular access considerations.
e
Prepare a draft Request For Proposals for consideration as one
alternative to selecting builder/developers.
The crux of this study is to provide a .forum, through the
consultant, to develop criteria and guidelines which will facilitate
bringing to fruition the expected revitalization of older residential
areas in Columbia Heights.
We recognize that such a study is process oriented and that the
completion of the work is evolutionary in nature; from initial input, to
developing consensus, to formulation of a plan, to physical improvements
on site. The process of developing a useable "end product study"
requires input and reaction from multiple interest. The final product,
refurbished and/or new homes, will be determined by our collective
ability to identify and determine what is visually pleasing and
desirable and to create, guidelines and standards to implement their
"idealized images". A significant side issue will be to balance the
ideal end results with reality and market demand.
Mr. Patrick Hentges
May 23, 1994

Because the study is intended to have considerable longevity and
potentially applicable to other areas of the City, I believe it will be
in the best interest of the City to commit to a number of meetings,
facilitated by the consultant and City Staff, geared to developing the
quality and nature of standards deemed appropriate to the revitalized
neighborhood. This may involve citizen committees.
It is difficult to estimate the cost for such services, however,
for purposes of budgeting, it is conceivable that a total of ten
meetings may be required throughout the life of this project. The
research time, document preparation time, and report preparation is
estimated to cost $4,000.00 maximum.
With regard to personnel assigned to this project I believe it
would be beneficial to approach this with a multi-disciplined team,
involving myself, a real estate development planner, Theresa Greenfield
a Municipal Planner, Suzanne Rhees, a planner with neighborhood
revitalization knowledge, and Kathy O'Connell, an experienced Landscape
Architect. My role will be to bring a broad sense of reality and
perspective to the study with Theresa and Suzanne having experience in
zoning, land use planning and performance standards and Kathy O'Connell,
an experienced and sensitive urban designer.
We will look to the City to provide base map information, computer
files, documents such as zoning, and to meet with the consultants and
schedule all meetings with City officers, landowners and other
designated participants.
We appreciate the opportunity and look forward to assisting the
City in completing this important study. We are prepared to start this
work the week of May 23rd, 1994.
