If the grant is successful, HEDRA would have the entire estimated demolition cost of $250,000 in grant funding. 2) Planning Grant -$15,000. Funding to be used for future market study of Hudson redevelopment concepts. ACTION: Adopt HEDRA Resolution No. 2012-01 authorizing submittal of the applications Please see the attached Resolution for further information. C. Mortgage Satisfaction – Biermann Marcia Biermann, owner of 1413 Maple Street seeks execution of a mortgage satisfaction statement. She has agreed to pay $1,500 of the remaining balance of her HEDRA Residential Rehabilitation Loan. The outstanding balance of the loan as of January 2, 2012 is $6,034. At the August 11, 2011 meeting, HEDRA discussed forgiveness of the loan if $250 per month was paid during the foreclosure redemption period. Ms. Biermann has agreed to make the $1,500 payment. The foreclosure notice was delivered on December 27, 27, 2011. On August 9, 2011 Ms. Biermann submitted a letter requesting forgiveness of a Residential Rehabilitation Loan. The letter reiterates the nature and reasons for the original loan. Ms. Biermann experienced an unexpected replacement of a private sewer service to her home at 1413 Maple Street. The cost of repair was assessed against her property. The $9,100 repair was greater than the typical cost of $3,000 -$5,000 and was not eligible for assessment abatement. In 2009 Ms. Biermann shared that she is experiencing financial difficulties and was filing for bankruptcy in order to modify the principal loan on her home. The loan modification was approved in May 2010, but was not financial feasible for her. In July, 2011 she received a mortgage foreclosure letter. She anticipates foreclosure notice to be delivered anytime after August 15th. HEDRA authorized the loan on September 10, 2009. The secondary mortgage, agreement and promissory note were executed on November 2, 2009. The original loan amount was $7,589.41. $4,000 of the original loan was to be repaid upon sale of the property. The remaining $3,589.41 was a five year forgivable loan, decreasing 20% annually. $1,555.41 of the original loan has been forgiven as of January 2, 2012. The remaining $6,034 consists of the $4,000 to be repaid on sale, and $2,034 of the outstanding forgivable loan. HEDRA Meeting Packet -January 12, 2012 Page 3 of 17 ACTION: Authorize signature of the Mortgage Satisfaction Agreement. Please see the attached Mortgage Satisfaction Agreement for further information. D. HEDRA Workshop – February 16, 2012 At the December HEDRA meeting Commissioners discussed holding a special HEDRA workshop in early 2012. Staff has tentatively scheduled the meeting for Thursday, February 16th at 6:00pm in the Volunteer Room at City Hall. Jessica Cook from Ehlers, our financial\TIF consultant would be available to attend the meeting. Due to the proximity with the regular HEDRA meeting on February 9th, HEDRA may consider cancelling the February 9th meeting. Any items needing immediate attention in February could be done during a quick regular meeting on the 16th prior to the workshop. ACTION: Schedule a Special HEDRA Workshop Meeting for February 16, 2012, and consider rescheduling the regular February 9th meeting to the 16th, for items of immediate attention. E. HEDRA Workshop Agenda Please see the attached draft agenda for the HEDRA Workshop. Hudson Redevelopment and Marketing Plan next steps are on the agenda. ACTION: Review and comment at the meeting REPORTS A. Hudson Redevelopment – National Historic Register Nomination At their December 20th meeting, the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) voted 5-0 (2 abstentions) to recommend nomination of the Hudson property to the National Register of Historic Places. John Hinzman attended the meeting on behalf of HEDRA and asked that the HPC consider delaying any recommendations until further economic and market data is available for the site. The HPC will likely review the final nomination form at their January 17th meeting, and may submit the request to the City Council as early as February 6th B. Hudson Redevelopment – Environmental Update Dakota County will be conducting a survey of all wells, boring points, and test pits on January 9th. A more accurate survey of bedrock depth and soil thickness is also being conducted; initial borings have shown the depth to vary between 2 and 24 feet. The additional data is necessary to better target the extent of HEDRA Meeting Packet -January 12, 2012 Page 4 of 17 contamination on the site. All environmental costs continue to be paid for via the Dakota County EPA Grant. C. Fire Alarm Installation Update During the month of December the following hard wire alarms systems were completed: 113East 2nd Street $5,334.47 208 East 2nd Street $3,380.91 214\216 East 2nd Street $4,259.02 218 East 2nd Street $3,846.66 405 Vermillion Street $3,698.53 411 Vermillion Street $4,208.50 Only ten systems remain to be installed. Works should be completed in the next few months. D. Marketing Plan Update Now that the plan has been completed and approved and the final bill has been submitted here is a recap of what HEDRA budget for and where it came in at. HEDRA had a two-part budget; one part was for the base research and plan itself. That was to not exceed $18,000 (8,000 in 2010 and 10,000 in 2011.) The second part of the budget was for the marketing audit in-depth analysis that Himle Horner did. That was to not exceed $13,000. HEDRA’s total budget for both parts was not to exceed $31,000 and our final bill totaled right at $30,250 which put us under budget by not quite $1,000.

BILLS Commissioner Keena moved to pay the bills. Commissioner Kelley seconded the motion. Motion Passed 4-0 IV. BUSINESS A.

HEDRA Meeting Packet -January 12, 2012 Page 7 of 17 Commissioner Keenan seconded the motion. Motion passed 4-0. B. Authorize Signature -Met Council Grant Agreement Amendment -Block 16 Metropolitan Council has agreed to extend the grant agreement to fund construction of the Block 16 Red Rock Commuter Parking lot until December 31, 2012. The Commission is asked to Authorize Signature of the 1st Amendment to the Grant Agreement. Commissioner Keena motioned to approve Authorization of Signature of Agreement. Commissioner Kelley seconded the motion. Motion passed 4-0. V. REPORTS & INFORMATION A. Hudson redevelopment -Reuse Plan Discussion The Commission discussed the recent findings of the Hudson Reuse Study conducted by Stark Preservation. The Commission agrees that before anything can be done with the Hudson site the market needs to be tested for variables and feasibility. Also the Commission suggested that the Heart of Hastings plan be reexamined and determine what the Community “wants” to do and what the “vision” is for the site. The Commission also understands, and wants the public to understand, that most importantly everyone needs to be patient with this project. This is a huge site and a great opportunity for the community. HEDRA doesn’t want to just rush into things unprepared. HEDRA agreed that the first step most likely will be for the Commission to consider demolishing the 1974 portion of the facility sooner rather than later based on the understanding that this portion of the building holds no historic value or other value to the site. A benefit of demolishing the 1974 addition now would be that the site could then be prepared to “show off” during any event surrounding the construction of the new bridge. The Commissioners also agreed that holding onto the 1946 addition for now and not making any decision on keeping or demolishing it until a developer is on board would be in the projects best interest. This way the developer is the one that is making the decisions based on actual market tests and feasibility studies. The Commissioners agreed that HEDRA and the City brought the property into public ownership so that more funding opportunities would be available. HEDRA Chair Toppin suggested the Commission schedule a workshop in mid-February to discuss Hudson concepts as well as next steps with the marketing plan. B. Hudson -Environmental Update Everything is on track to be ready for spring environmental grant deadlines. HEDRA Meeting Packet -January 12, 2012 Page 8 of 17 HPC has long recognized the Hudson Building's significance to Hastings and they are considering nominating the facility for the national historic registry. HEDRA would like to encourage the HPC to be patient. C. Mixed Use Hard Wire Alarm Update The installation of the Hard Wire Alarm Systems in mixed use building continues moving along well and are about a third done with their installation. D. Downtown Hastings -Block 1; Senior Housing Developer has shown interest in the site and has inquired as to what price range HEDRA would be looking for on the property. Staff has estimated the value of the site to be about $8/sq ft, but has not yet sought an official appraisal to be done yet. Staff reminded the Commission that there has been no marketing of the site in the past few years and questioned if HEDRA is interested in developing an RFP for this company and others to respond to? Commissioners discussed and agreed that rental properties are barely coming back at this time. They suggested that staff compare multiple sites around town and decided if this is where we want a senior housing developer to build? Do we want them in downtown, on the river front? Perhaps suggest other sites that might fit their. budget. E. 1101 Vermillion Street Demolition and Redevelopment The house at 1101 Vermillion Street has now be demolished and the site along with the brown house next door (next to the Dairy Queen,) the city-owned property that was formerly 11th Street, as well as another residential site behind these, are all being considered for a one acre development that would be a 24hourr fast-food drive-through operation. The commissions not excited about this prospect and have concerns due to the proximity to the residential neighborhood directly behind this potential site. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Elling Schultz moved to adjourn at 7:15pm, Commissioner Keena seconded. Motion Passed 4 -0 Next meeting is scheduled for January 12, 2012 at 6:00pm in the Council Chambers.
