Background
Anoka County Highway Department (ACHD) has purchased and removed nine (9) homes along the east side of University Avenue immediately north of 109th Avenue for expansion of the roadway in 2014 and 2015. All of the residents were relocated as part of that acquisition. There are two single family homes on the south side of the project that have not been purchased as no additional r-o-w was needed at that location. These two homes are just north of four homes that are owned by ACCAP and that have been serving the RISE program.
ACCAP has been working with the City and Anoka County on a residential redevelopment concept that would include the removal ACCAP’s four homes, the two homes not purchased by the Anoka County Highway Department, and six of the now vacant lots that were purchased by the ACHD. ACCAP has reached an agreement to purchase the two homes currently still privately held. The proposed redevelopment project would include 30 townhomes within five separate buildings on this property. ACCAP would own all units and would rent the units to residents at 80% of the area median income ($65,800-family of four). Rents would range from $1,300 to $1,500 depending on unit size and number of bedrooms. The City’s economic development arm (Blaine EDA) has agreed to assist ACCAP in the redevelopment by providing funds for site assembly and redevelopment.
In order to accomplish this redevelopment, a comprehensive land use amendment, rezoning, preliminary plat and conditional use permit was approved by the City of Blaine. The final plat is now being presented for approval by the City Council.
The final plat includes 1 (one) block and 1 (one) lot. All townhome units and improvements will be located on Lot 1, Block 1. The proposed plat includes 1.72 acres.
Park dedication will be required for the 30 new units being proposed as the previous homes were built prior to park dedication requirements. The 2016 park dedication rate is $3,744 per unit so a total fee of $112,320 must be paid prior to release of plat mylars for recording at Anoka County.
The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, Resolution No. 14-114.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
