Community Development Director Kevin Locke presented the contract for private redevelopment with SilverCrest Properties. Previously, the City approved a plan for the redevelopment of the Rice Creek Shopping Center. For this project to become possible, some type of financial assistance was needed. The project involves the demotion of approximately 50,000 sq. ft. of the existing shopping center; construction of 97 independent senior housing units (Meadow Wood Shores); and construction of 20,000 sq. ft of retail space. The project cost would be in excess of $10.3 million, and the estimated market value would be $5.1 million. Total City assistance would be $1,200,000 and timed as follows: $150,000 at completion of demolition work; $250,000 at completion of footings for Meadow Wood Shores; $250,000 at completion of structure enclosure for Meadow Wood Shores; and $550,000 after issuance of completion certificate for renovation of the center and Meadow Wood Shores. They anticipate construction to begin no later than May 1, 1999, with completion no later than June 30, 2000. Mike Gould, applicant, said SilverCrest has purchased the shopping center and has begun working with tenants who have expressed interest to stay. He speculates that construction would begin during the Spring of 1999. Motion by Hoffman, seconded by Samuelson, to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A CONTRACT FOR PRIVATE REDEVELOPMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON AND SIL VERCREST PROPERTIES LLC. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. Police Chief John Kelley presented the Noise Control Ordinance. The issue of noise control emerged as a Public Safety Commission (PSC) issue from citizen and staff complaints about exceptionally loud car radios and a lack of good noise control tools for the Police. Several model ordinances were reviewed by staff and comments were made on sections dealing with domestic power equipment, refuse hauling and construction activities. The proposed ordinance follows closely the League of Minnesota Cities model. The ordinance was reviewed by the City Prosecutor and City Attorney. City Code provisions regarding noisy parties and gatherings is included in this ordinance. The code prohibits against peddlers making noise with the exception of ice cream vendors. The hours of operation of snowmobiles has been amended by moving the hour of cessation of operation from 11 :00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. This makes the hours of operation for all recreation vehicles the same. The ordinance is somewhat redundant, but would become more user friendly.
