The city should establish an attitude to keep the existing businesses and to attract new businesses. The city should try and accommodate existing business persons as much as possible. 3. The downtown core area should play off the existence of the dinner theater with support uses such as specialty retail, general retail, and establishment of a pedestrian environment in order to not only serve the Chanhassen residents but also to provide a regional draw.

BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937 -1900 MEMORANDUM TO: BRA and City Council FROM: Barbara Dacy, City Planner� DATE: March 15, 1985 SUBJ: Land Acquisition for the Bloomberg Property Community Development Block Grant funds are intended to be used to acquire the 2.4 acre parcel from Mr. Bloomberg for additional parking area for the Instant Web building. In order to use Community Development Block Grant funds, it is necessary to con- duct an Environmental Assessment Worksheet so that all HUD regu- lations are being met. Staff is now in the process of completing that worksheet which will be forwarded to the Minneapolis HUD Office for approval. There is a thirty day comment and review period that has to expire before HUD will give its authorization to expend the monies. Please see the memorandum on item #5 on the agenda regarding the use of CDBG funds for Year IX and Year XI. Because of the complexity of the acquisition regulation of HUD, our representative from the Minneapolis HUD Office (Larry Blackstad) recommended the hiring of a "process manager" to coor- dinate the acquisition process. His /her duties would entail hiring an appraiser and insuring all HUD requirements are met. The city has contacted two potential candidates as recommended by Mr. Blackstad. Their fees can be paid by CDBG funds. March 7, 1985 Mr. Dan Wilson 9230 Hackney Drive Cologne, MN 55322 Dear Mr. Wilson: CIT's OF 690 COULTER DRIVE • P.O.

Recognizing that a possession date of May 1 is highly likely, this letter is an informal notice to allow you additional time for potential relocation. Assuming the financial commitments by the proposed developers are met within the next week to ten days, the City /HRA would be providing offi- cial notice to terminate effective April 30, 1985. Animal Fair has been a good tenant and tremendous asset to the City of Chanhassen. We are, again, providing you with this advance notice so that we may jointly preplan needs of Animal Fair. We definitely want to keep Animal Fair as a business in our community. The proposed developer of the woodframe section, David C. Bell Company, is proposing to develop approximately 50,000 square feet of the Instant Web building for general retail services. Mr. Gary Kirt, representing David C. Bell, desires to see Animal Fair stay as a tenant in the revitalized mall area. According to Mr. Kirt, he believes that renovation can occur around your existing lease space without disturbing your current business activities. You would then have the option to remain in this space or to move to another portion of the mall area. You can anticipate that Mr. Kirt will be contacting you within the near future to show you the proposed renovation plans.

BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937 -1900 MEMORANDUM TO: HRA and City Council FROM: Barbara Dacy, City Planner: DATE: March 15, 1985 SUBJ: Community Development Block Grant Funds - Year IX and XI On April 1, 1985, the City Council will be conducting two public hearings to discuss the proposed use of Community Development Block Grant funds. One hearing is to discuss the reallocation of Year IX monies and the other for the new -Year XI allocation. The reallocation of Year IX is to redesignate existing project activities to a "land acquisition" category so that the city can use these funds to purchase the 2.4 acres needed for additional parking for the reuse of the Instant Web building. Year IX funds must be expended by July 1, 1985. At present the balance for the existing projects are as follows: Site clearance and preparation $45,000 Downtown Project Marketing Plan $11,215 (Note that the city has $33,000 in Year X for land acquisition) As you recall, the site clearance and preparation activity was for the demolition of the Instant Web building. This project description does not address the need for land acquisition; therefore, these monies must be reallocated into a specific land acquisition category according to HUD regulations. The Downtown Project Marketing Plan activity originally scheduled $20,000. Approximately $8,785 was expended for the market study done by McCombs. If the $11,215 is to be used for land acquisition, it also has to be reallocated to land acquisition category. A member of the Senior Citizen Center in Excelsior has also con - tacted the city for $200 -$300 to use for the installation of handicapped bathrooms and oven hoods. The center needs approxi- mately $2,000, and other communities have been contacted as well. An amount of $215 could be reallocated for this purpose. The Year XI allocation for Chanhassen totals $38,532. The tentative purchase price discussed for the acqusition of the 2.4 acre parcel south of the Instant Web building was $95,000. This would dictate reservation of at least $11,000 of the Year XI funds for land acquisition. However, in order to allow the city adequate flexibility, at least $25,000 should be reserved. Another $12,000 can be reserved for the other activities planned Community Development Block Grants March 15, 1985 Page 2 as part of the Downtown Project Marketing Plan. The purpose of this project was not only to conduct the downtown office /retail market study but also to allow the development of promotional materials which will be designed to attract private developers for the downtown project. Therefore, the HRA and City Council's intent of reserving monies for this purpose can still be main- tained. Monies should also be set aside for administration of the CDBG funds. An allocation of $1,532 is recommended.
