Kingsley Place Senior Housing Contaminated Site Cleanup Grant Application
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Approve a resolution approving the local funding
match for a previously authorized Contaminated Site cleanup Grant Application to the MN Department of
Employment and Economic Development (DEED) for the Kingsley Place Senior Housing Project.
Overview
In August of 2019, construction began on a 55-unit independent living four-story building called Kingsley
Place that is adjacent to the original Kingsley Shores that will be connected by a skyway.
After excavation for the new building started, contaminated soils and construction debris were encountered
almost immediately even though Phase I and Phase II Environmental Surveys and soil testing had been
completed prior to construction . The developer received approval from the MN Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) to remove all the contaminated soils and debris from the building footprint area on the site and
transport it to an approved disposal site at the developer’s expense.
On April 6th, the Council approved a resolution that authorized the submittal of a grant application to the
DEED Contaminated Site Cleanup Grant program to fund a portion of the remaining clean-up costs for
this project. The amount of the DEED grant application submitted on May 1st was $470,171. The minimum
amount of Developer paid matching funds is $106,811. No City funds are proposed to fund cleanup costs.
Staff recommends approval of this second resolution committing Developer funds for the local match
requirements for the DEED Contaminated Site Clean-up Grant Application for the Kingsley Place Senior
Housing Project.
