AC T I O N RE Q UE S T E D:
Convene in closed session, under exception to the open meeting law, to review and consider
various offers to negotiate and purchase the ED A-owned lands identified as T he Gaslight
Site, located at 15584 Gaslight Drive.
S UM M ARY:
City staff requests the ED A meet in closed session at the regular J uly 25, 2024, ED A
meeting, in order to review confidential or protected nonpublic data and information (offers to
purchase and related information) as outlined in Minnesota Statutes 13D.05, Subd. 3(c).
T he ED A is being asked to review and consider various offers to purchase and develop the
subject property from several development groups. T hese offers were submitted under
separate requests for proposals (RF P's), which were sent out directly to a number of
interested development groups and real estate professionals. T he RFP was posted and
advertised on the C ity's website J une 10th; posted on LinkedIn; and advertised on MN C A R's
(MN C ommercial Association of Real Estate/Realtors) website. T he RF P submittal deadline
was J uly 8, 2024.
B AC K G RO UND:
T he Gaslight Site consists of 3.1 acres; and is generally located at the S E corner of 155th
Street and Gaslight Drive. T he site is guided "SIHD" (Suburban Intensive High Density
Residential) and is situated in the P D- No. 507 District, Zone No. 2. T he site is owned by
the ED A.
On J anuary 25, 2024, the ED A met to review and discuss an "initial offer" by a developer to
purchase and develop the subject site, and staff requested direction on how to proceed.
Direction was given to have an appraisal completed; and upon its completion, the ED A met
again at the May 23, 2024 regular meeting, and in closed session to review the appraisal.
Subsequent to this review, City staff was directed to prepare and offer to the general public
an opportunity to purchase and develop this site under an official request for proposal (RFP)
process. Staff will have all of the submitted RF P documents available to review during the
closed session meeting.
B UD G E T I M PAC T:
If the ED A authorizes the sale of the subject property, the City is expected to receive
considerable revenue proceeds from said sale; and any future (proposed) development of the
site will generate additional property tax revenue for the community.
