"SHOP NEW HOPE" President Erickson introduced for discussion Item 4, 'Shop New Hope"
PROMOTION--IMP. City-Wide Retail Promotion.
PROJECT NO. 537
Item 4 President Erickson prefaced the discussion by stating this idea was
prompted by the closing of the Winnetka Super Valu grocery store. He
expressed the need to promote the City's retail stores.
Mr. Daniel Donahue, City Manager, explained that one of the 1995 goals
of the City Council and staff is to improve communication/coordination
between the City and the retail/commercial businesses in New Hope. He
commented that retail businesses have told the City that the best way to
assist them is to help promote their businesses on the marketing or sales
side. This initiated the idea of a "Shop New Hope" City-wide retail
promotion. Since the beginning of the year the City has contacted or met
with the majority of owners/managers of New Hope's commercial centers
and major retailers including Midland Center, Poste Haste Center, Winnetka
Center, winnetka Commons, K-Mart and New Hope Mall. The purpose of
these meetings has been to inquire how the City can better assist the
business/retail environment at these locations and to find out if the
shopping centers and major businesses would cooperate with the City in
a 'Shop New Hope" promotion. It is anticipated that such a promotion
would be jointly funded by the City and businesses and would educate
residents about shopping opportunities in New Hope. Such a promotion
could be coordinated in conjunction with Duk Duk Daze. The majority of
shopl~n_ g center/retail business owners and/or managers indicated that
they Would be very supportive of the program and would participate.
- Staff also has met with Key Group Advertising, Inc., the promotion
company utilized by Kraus-Anderson, to discuss the City-wide retail
promotion idea. Key Group indicated that they thought the idea was very
progressive and forward thinking and that they would like to work with the
City on the development of these ideas in the coming months. Key Group
could assist in the development of a budget for the promotion and would
assist in coordinating group meetings between the retailers and the City to
develop the program. Several of the ideas discussed to date for the
promotion include possible discounts for purchases made at local
businesses or the development of a map/directory of New Hope
New Hope EDA March 13, 1995

businesses.
President Erickson shared marketing ideas such as wearing buttons and
conducting cash prize drawings. He noted if the City effectively advertises
the campaign this year and the merchants recognize the results, there
would be less need for city funding in subsequent years.
Commissioner Enck emphasized the need to have a means of measuring
the promotion's results.
Concerns were raised regarding whether there is sufficient time to have
the promotion in place by July. It was noted that the promotion company
believes it can be accomplished to coincide with Duk Duk Daze.
Commissioner Wehling expressed a desire to be involved in establishing the
promotion.
Ms. Kathy Hemken, 1995 Duk Duk Daze Chair, was recognized. She
expressed support of conducting the proposed campaign in conjunction
with Duk Duk Daze. She reported that the Committee hired the 'White
Side Walls' for the band at Duk Duk Daze. This year's festival will be held
July 14, 15, and 16, 1995.
Mr. Donahue stated any dollars expended for this idea would be economic
development dollars, not property tax dollars. Staff will meet with Key
Group and the merchants to draft a preliminary plan and report back to the
EDA hopefully by March 27.
Commissioner Enck suggested forming a steering committee comprised of
merchants, staff, City Council, and the Key Group.
IMPROVEMENT President Erickson introduced for discussion Item 5, Resolution Authorizing
PROJECT NO. 505 Publication of Notice and the Holding of a Public Hearing Regarding Sale
Item 5 of 7909 51s! Avenue North (Improvement Project No. 505).

DISCUSSION REGARDING CITY-OWNED PROPERTY AT 7528 42ND AVENUE NORTH
(IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 474)
In 1993 the City acquired the Foremost property at 7528 42nd Avenue North for future redevelopment.
As part of the purchase agreement the City agreed to lease the property to Foremost, Inc. for a two-year
period. The terms of the lease required Foremost to pay all real estate taxes, insurance premhm~,
utilities for the operation, repair/maintenance/upkeep of the building, etc. The City has had a difficult
time in getting Foremost to pay the taxes on the property. One unlaw~l detainer action was initiated
which resulted in the payment of the 1994 real estate taxes. The lease expires on July 19, 1995, and
the lease payment due on February 1st was the pro rata share of the 1995 taxes ($10,010.00) which has
not been paid. The City was in the process of initiating another unlawful detainer action when we
learned that, as of March 3rd, Foremost was a defunct company. There is a new entity interested in
acquiring the assets (lease) and the acquisition is contingent upon the successful assignment and
extension of the existing lease terms to the new entity/corporation.
A representative from Northland Financial Group will be appearing at the EDA meeting to request the
EDA's consideration of extending the lease under the same terms for a one-year period. As the lease
is currently written, it cannot be assigned or renewed without the consent of the EDA. Northland will
be requesting the EDA's consent on both issues. Northland has indicated that if the lease is not
extended per the original terms, that they will not pursue the creation of the new entity. Also, the bank
that holds the title to the machinery in the building has guaranteed that they will pay the first half-year's
taxes.
Prior to the EDA ~, staff will I~ checking with Hennepin County to determine if the second half
taxes can be ab~~ is no private company in operation at the building after July 19th.

CITY OF NEW HOPE
MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 22, 1995
TO: Dan Donahue, City Manager
Steve Sondrall, City Attorney
FROM: Kirk McDonald, Managemem Assistant/Community DeVelopmem Coordinator
SUBJECT: Indusu'ial Building Rental Rates
In an effort to determine what market rental rates currently are for industrial buildings in the
New Hope area, I contacted Thorpe Bros., Inc. (our agent for the vacant property at
42nd/Nevada Avenues). We specifically discussed the Foremost, Inc. building at 7528 42nd
Avenue North. Per the attached excerpt from the appraisal, the building contains an area of
20,795 square feet and contains 1,600 square feet of office space, or 8% office area. Thorpe
indicated that a low rental rate for warehouse space would be $2.50 per square foot on a triple
net lease (they pay all utilities and taxes). They said a more reasonable rate would probably be
$3.00 - $3.25 per square foot. Thorpe indicated that the office space should rent for $5.00 -
$6.00 per square foot.
Using these market estimates on the Foremost building, the monthly and annual payments that
might be derived from a lease are calculated as follows:
Office Space = 1,600 sq. ft. x 5.00 psf - $ 8,000.00
Warehouse Space = 19,195 sq. ft. x 3.25 psf = 62,383.75
TOTAL PER YEAR = $70,383.75
+ 12 months
TOTAL PER MONTH $ 5,865.31
The land is improved with a one story, concrete block and steel frame
industrial k~!din~ with onsite paved parkin~ and landscaping.
Size
80' X 87.5' = 7,000
17.5' X 66' = 1,155
40' X 76' = 3,040
120' X 80' = 9,600
Total 20,795 s~e feet GBA
(1,600 sf office space, or 8% office)
The k~ild/ng ~s reported to have been originally built in 1962, with a 1965
~tion and the last rear addit/on co~mTxuc~d in 1978.
A poured concrete and ooncrete block foun~atic~ system is obeerved. It
appears to be in average to goo~ co~diti~. Only m/nor settlement was observed
in sc~e floor cracks and in one series of wall cracks near the midpoint on
Quek~c Avenue.

Subject: March 24th Lunch Meeting to Discuss "Shop New Hope" Promotion
Dear 2-'
One of the City Council's goals for 199:5 is to improve communicatiOns/coordination between the City and
retail/commercial businesses in New Hope. We are very concerned that the City maintain a healthy and
vibrant retail/commercial economy. Since the beginning of the year, the City Manager and myself have
contacted or met with the majority of owners/managers of New Hope's commercial centers and major
retailers to inquire as to how the City can better assist the business/retail environment. One of the ideas that
has developed is a 'Shop New Hope' promotion, which hopefully would be jointly funded by both the City
and businesses. Such a promotion could educate residents about shopping opportunities available in New
Hope and one idea would be to coordinate the program in conjunction with the City's Duk Duk Daze festival
held in July.
The majority of shopping center/retail business owners and/or managers indicated that they would be very
supportive of the program and would participate. This idea was discussed by the full City Council at a
recent meeting and the Council unanimously approved the concept. The City has retained the services of
Key Group Advertising, Inc., who have extensive experience in planning special events, to help the City and
businesses coordinate the promotion.
I would like to invite you and anotlm' representative from your or/sniT~rion or one of your anchor tenants
to aRend a MmT, h meeti~ at 12:00 noon on Friday, March 24th, at the New Hope City Hall, to further
discuss the 'Shop New Hol~' promotion. Tim City will provide box lumhes and beverases. Representatives
from Key Group will be presznt t~ assist in leadin~ tim meetin~ to discuss promotional ideas and to help
devek)p a budget and thne schedule for the promotion. I hope that you will be able to take time out of your
busy schedule to attend this me~i~. I think a 'Shop New Hope' promotion would be a great way for the
City to work with our ~ busimss~ to i .reprove th~ commercial economy in tl~ City and educate our
residents about tl~ ~ ovponua/t~ available in New Hope.

PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION A .U~ORIZING AND APPROVING SALE OF 7909 51ST
AVENUE NORTH TO T. JEFF BANGSBERG (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 505)
At the March 13th Economic Development Authority meeting, the EDA authorized publication of notice
and the holding of a public hearing at the March 27th EDA meeting regarding the sale of one side of
the twin home to be constructed at 7909 51st Avenue North. This is the public hearing to authorize and
approve the sale.
Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Marky Addition, were purchased by the EDA in February, 1994. Subsequent
to the purchase of the property, the existing structure was razed and staff has been working with the
CO-OP Northwest Community Revitalization Corporation to improve the property with a handicap
accessible twin home to be sold to persons of low or moderate income. The project has progressed to
the point of a signed purchase agreement for one of the two units with T. Serf Bangsberg. The purchase
agreement is contingent upon approval of the EDA. The purchase agreement incorporates the plans and
specifications for the twin home to be constructed on the site. The buyer has qualified for a first time
home buyer mortgage with the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, as well as a second mortgage in
the amount of $15,000 using CHODO Home Investment Partnership funds. The purchase agreement
states that the City will sell the home to Bangsberg for $85,000.
At the March 13th meeting a motion was approved to reject the bids received for the construction of
the twin home due to confusion on the sewer/water alternate. Revised specifications have been
completed and are now in the bidding process. Bids are scheduled to be opened on April 4th and to be
presented to the EDA on April 10th. This results in a timing issue involving EDA approval of the
purchase agreement and the actual award of the bid to construct the twin home. Staff is recommending
that the EDA hold and close the public hearing on the Resolution approving the sale, but not act
on the Resolution until the April 10th EDA meeting, which will be the same meeting that the
contract for construction of the twin home is awarded. In this manner the EDA will avoid
approving a p~. agreement to-sell one unit prior to awarding the contract for construction.
Staff recommends ~ th~ public hearing and tabling the matter until the April 10th EDA meeting.

RE: 7901 - 7909 51st Avenue North
Our File No: 99.11124
Dear Dan:
The handicap accessible twinhome project at 7901 - 7909 has
progressed to the point of a signed purchase agreement for one of
the two units. That purchase agreement is contingent upon approval
by the governing body of the EDA. The. purchase agreement
incorporates the plans and specifications for the twinhome to be
constructed on the site. The buyer will be qualifying for a first
time home buyer mortgage with Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, as
well as a second mortgage in the amount of $15,000.00 using CHODO
Home [nvestment Partnership funds. The enclosed Resolution
approves the purchase agreement.
There is a timing issue here involving EDA approval of the purchase
agreement and the actual award of the bids to construct the
twinhome. You may wish to close the public hearing on the
Resolution approving the sale, but not act on the Resolution until
the April 10, 1995 meeting, which will be the same meeting that the
contracts for construction of the twinhome are awarded. In this
manner the EDA will avoid approving a purchase agreement to sell
one unit of'the twinhome for a fixed price without knowing how much
it will actually cost to construct the twinhome.
The second Resolution modifies the covenants passed in February so
as to delete two provisions which raised some enforcement issues
with staff. The deleted Covenants involved.placement of motor
vehicles and other items in the driveway, and the location and type
of antennas on the property. After further review it appears these
~tems are adequately covered by City Code. This Resolution can be
. passed on March 27.

RESOLUTION AMENDING DECLARATION OF COVENANTS FOR 7901 - 7909 51ST
AVENUE NORTH (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 505)
This Resolution modifies the Declaration of Covenants for the handicapped accessible twin home
to be constructed at 7901 - 7909 51st Avenue North, which were approved at the February 27th
EDA meeting, so as to delete two provisions which are already adequately covered by the City
Code and which raised some enforcement issues. The City Attorney is recommending that
paragraphs 6 and 7 of the original Declaration of Covenants be deleted. Paragraph 6 stated that
all vehicles (recreational, boats, snowmobiles, etc.) had to be stored within the garage and this
requirement is more restrictive than the existing City Code [section 4.033(8)(9)]. Paragraph 7
stated that all television antennas must be located within the interior of the dwelling and that
requirement is also more restrictive than the existing City Code [section 4.032(3)]. Staff is
recommending that both of these sections be deleted. The revised Covenants would amend and
supersede the original Declaration of Covenants.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

RE: 7901 - 7909 51st Avenue North
Our Fi.la No: 99.11124
Dear Dan:
The handicap accessible twinhome project at 7901 - 7909 has
progressed to the point of'a signed purchase agreement for one of
the two units. That purchase agreement is contingent upon approval
by the governing body of the EDA. The purchase agreement
incorporates the plans and specifications for the twinhome to be
constructed on the site. The buyer will be qualifying for a first
time home buyer mortgage with Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, as
well as a second mortgage in the amount of $15,000.00 using CHODO
Home Investment Partnership funds. The enclosed Resolution
approves the purchase agreement.
'There is.a timing issue here involving EDA approval of the purchase
agreement and the actual award of the bids to construct the
twtnhome. You may wish to close the public hearing on the
Resolution approving the sale, but not act on the Resolution until
the April 1~ 1995 meeting, which will be the same meeting that the
contract~mr~construdtion of the twinhome are awarded. In this
manner, th~EBA will avoid approving a purchase agreement to sell
one ~ntt ~hl twinhome for a fixed price without knowing, how much
it w~ll-a~a&lly cost to construct the twinhome.
The second Resolution modifies the covenants passed in February so
as tb delete two provisions which raised some enforcement issues.
with staff. The deleted Covenants involved placement of motor
vehicles and other items in the driveway, and the location amd. type
of antennas on the property. After further review it appears these
items are adequately covered by City Code. This Resolution can be
passed on March 27.
