:l I I i I INFORMATION ON T.It.//47 ACCAP HOUSING / / / [. / By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer [[~../ Background: At the February 2, 1999 Council workshop this subject was discusSed. It was suggested that additional information would be helpful in allowing the Council to better envision the scope of this project. On July 28, 1998, the City Council made a motion to work with Anoka County Community Action Program (ACCAP) to utilize the properties obtained for the T.H. #47 project for special needs housing. Copies of the minutes fi.om this council meeting, and the July 21, 1998 Road and Bridge committee meeting are attached. In all 13 homestead properties are proposed to be acquired for this project. A parcel comprised of a combination of seven of these properties is attached to this case to illustrate a sketch plan of the ACCAP proposal. Of the existing seven homesteads within this parcel, two would be removed to accommodate the alignment of Sunwood Drive. The remaining five homes would be located on a parcel of approximately 4.2 acres bounded between Sunwood Drive and T.H. #47. This seven unit block of homes originally comprised a total area of 11.2 acres. Approximately 1.9 acres of highland area would be severed west of and north of Sunwood Drive. The remaining 5.1 acres would be consumed by road right of way and wetland. The total appraised value of this seven lot block of residences is $787,000 which is divided between $566,000 in improvement and $221,000 as land value. These values are based upon the Fall 1998 appraisals commissioned by the City for acquisition of the property. I I I I I I Council Action: Staffneeds to have direction as to how to proceed. At the present time, the staffhas been relying on ACCAP to be responsible for the disposition of ail thirteen of the acquired homesteads. If this present course is to be reaffirmed, staff should be directed to draft a formal agreement with ACCAP to this effect. If there is to be a change fi.om the above scenario and the City is to be responsible for disposition, it would be staffs' recommendation that the City offer the properties for sale, if relocated off the property, and then commence with the demolition of the remaining homes.
