Time Required: 5 Minutes
Agenda Item Title: Redevelopment Planning —12969 60 Street N. Options
Agenda Placement New Business

Action Requested Discussio Possible Action
Background/Justification (Please indicate if any previous action has been taken or if other public
bodies have advised):
As I have mentioned in past weekly notes, the City may desire to engage in some preliminary
planning and conceptualizing for the former D. Hecker car lot along Neal Ave. Much like the
eastern site, where the City took some proactive steps to be prepared should a developer come
forward, the City may similarly desire to do the same planning for this area.
Naturally, this site has challenges such as the overhead power lines, the current building is not of
a construction type that is readily transformable to a new user and the commercial location is not
as ideal as other lands with direct STH 36 or Highway 5 frontage.
What we should anticipate to come from the process and documents are what ideas could best
work there from and economic and /or community development peispective. Could it be a mixed
use development, should it be a big -box retail, or perhaps a public use is warranted?
Accordingly, l have asked that the City Planner, Scott Richards prepare a work plan and
cost estimates that would implement some preliminary planning, visioning and mapping.
The process if approved by the City Council, as outlined would commence in December
2012 and move through spring 2013. The proposal cost is $3,850.00. This should be funded
though the City Planning Budget (101- 40500 -103) and which has an estimated available
fund balance of $11,930.00.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Eric Johnson
FROM: Scoff Richards
DATE: November 7, 2012
RE: Oak Park Heights — Former Denny Hecker Car Dealership Site,
12969 60 Street North - Redevelopment Planning -- Work
Program and Cost Estimate
TPC FILE: 802
As per your request, please find as follows a work program and estimated costs to
review redevelopment site options for the former Denny Hecker car dealership site at
12969 60 Street North. The purpose of this study is to allow the Planning Commission
and City Council to strategize about redevelopment and determine if the current land
use classification and zoning is appropriate for this site. The study would provide
direction as to whether the current commercial designations for this site are appropriate
or if this site would be more appropriately a mixed use area. Graphics indicating the
possible options will be created to assist the Planning Commission and City Council in
this process.
The Work Program anticipates that the Planning Commission will take the lead in
reviewing options and providing direction to the City Council on this matter. The
Planning Commission review would be conducted at the regularly scheduled meetings.
The anticipated cost to have TPC facilitate the study would be $3,850.00 and would
take approximately three months. The City Council will review the work program and
cost estimates at their November 13, 2012 meeting. If it is approved, the Planning
Commission will begin their review at their December 13, 2012 meeting.
