I I I Council Meeting Minutes March 26, 1996 Page 6 Council Business. continued The following five major areas of concern were central in the EDC recommendation for a developer: building appearance, site grading, integration of the entire site, tinancial impact, and estimated market value of the project. The EDC chose the lEG proposal because it generated the greatest tax base and tax increment valuation, and worked best with the site's dimcult grades. One issue relating to the Donatelle proposal was that they could not economically complete the project in one phase. The EDC encouraged staff to work with Donatelle, a local firm, to locate another site within the City. Authorization to pursue negotiations of a development agreement with lEG should be contingent on two items; the City will verify the sq. ft. price for the land, and how site preparation issues will be addressed. Locke said the site is very complicated with many grade changes and clearing and demolition work to be performed. Locke indicated lEG will be encouraged to accommodate Warner Industries in its development. Larson asked how would Donatelle address the tiber optic line issue. Locke said Opus and lEG proposed that they would work around the optic line avoiding the expense to relocate the line. However, Donatelle would need to relocate the line which then increases the project cost by $300,000. Locke said the City will do everything possible to find a location Donatelle. Motion by Williams, seconded by Larson, to AUTHORIZE STAFF TO BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS WITH lEG FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF BRIGHTON CORPORATE PARK II. 4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. Locke presented the building plans for the New Brighton Care Center. When Council approved the agreement in 1993, the design called for a metal, peaked roof with gables. The peaked roof was intended to tit in with the neighboring Rottlund Townhome project. North Cities Health Care owners of the Care Center reconfirmed that peaked roof design in October 1995. However, North Cities is now requesting approval for a modified roof plan. The new design involves a partial peaked roof which will retain the look of the original design, but greatly reduce construction costs. Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Williams, to APPROVE THE AMENDED BUILDING PLANS FOR THE NEW BRIGHTON CARE CENTER. 4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. City Manager Matthew Fulton presented the scheduling of a Branch and Wood Drop-off Day on April 13. The drop-off will be located at the Public Works Garage Parking Lot. The event will give residents an opportunity to dispose of ice storm tree damage, and any other tree branches or wood. Proof of New Brighton residency is required, and the project will be advertised in local newspapers. The anticipated project cost would be $3,000, and Fulton noted that this event is unbudgeted and unanticipated. The costs to provide a future City wide cleanup could run between $7,500-15,000, and because this would be unbudgeted, one approach would be to include this expen.<;e in the annual recycling budget. In that case, the additional annual cost to the recycling budget would relate to an increase of $1.00 per property owner. It would be logical to make preparation.<; for this service during the 1997 budgeting process.
