Passage of this motion will result in the submittal of a 2012 RIG Application in the amount of $30,000 to fund the acquisition and demolition of a vacant duplex located at 8770 210 Street. Overview The City was approached by ISD #194 in 2010 regarding possibly making improvements to this intersection to better handle the traffic generated by McGuire Middle School and JFK Elementary School. After completing a preliminary engineering analysis, it was determined that making turn lane improvements at this intersection would be very difficult if the existing duplex and driveways were to remain in place. This area is identified for future commercial development in the 2006 Downtown Development Guide and the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The City recently became aware that the property located at southwest corner of 210 Street and Holyoke Avenue had been foreclosed, and is vacant and currently for sale. The estimated cost for the acquisition and demolition of this vacant duplex is $90,000. The RIG program provides grants to cities in Dakota County for redevelopment type activities. The program requires a 2:1 match which limits the grant request amount to $30,000. The remaining acquisition and demolition costs are proposed to be funded with CDA TIF funds and /or the City's Economic Development Fund. Staff recommends approval of the resolution authorizing the RIG application to the CDA in the amount of $30,000. Primary Issues to Consider • Is there public benefit in acquiring this property at 8770 210 Street and demolishing the existing structure? The City Council discussed this at a Work Session on 1/23/12 and indicated there was public benefit. Supporting Information • Resolution and Location Ma David L.
