HRA Meeting
Approve Acquisition of Dakota County CDA Property
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to adopt a resolution approving the
acquisition of real property from the Dakota County Community Development Agency.
Overview
The Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) developed the Winsor Plaza Senior
Housing Project in Downtown Lakeville in 1994. In addition to the original apartment building
constructed on the west side of Howland Avenue, the CDA also constructed an additional parking
lot on the east side of Howland Avenue to meet the required parking requirements. A pedestrian
connection to Holyoke Avenue that became Pioneer Plaza was also constructed
A later expansion of the Winsor Plaza apartment building resulted in more parking being provided
adjacent to the building. As a result, in 2012 the CDA conveyed their surplus parking lot on the
east side of Howland Avenue to the City HRA to be incorporated into the public parking lot that
City constructed in 2012 with CDA grant and TIF funds.
The CDA is now proposing to convey the rest of the property they own in this block to the City
HRA for $1. The majority of the property is comprised of Pioneer Plaza. The City agreed to
maintain this area since it was originally constructed and as such, it would be appropriate for the
City to own. The CDA Board approved this conveyance at their meeting on July 23rd. Staff
recommends approval of this acquisition.
Primary Issues to Consider
• What additional costs would the City incur by accepting this conveyance? There are none.
