RE: Bethesda Hospital Development
During the past year and a half, the City and Bethesda Hospital d been
negotiating with the State for the transfer of the surplus prooe ty known as State
Parking Lot "V" , bounded 6y Como, Capitol Neights, Charles and C dar, in the North
Capitol Area of District 7. On Decem6er 18, 1985, the HRA Board authorized acquisi-
tion of said property for su6sequent reconveyance to Bethesda Lu heran Medical
Center for development of an elderly congregate care retirement enter. The transfer
process included conveying the State owned Property directly to RA, so that development
by Bethesda could then 6e put under control of an HRA Land Sales Contract, and
be required to meet the concerns of the neighborhood and the Cit .
However, when the State transferred title they deeded the proper y directly to
the City of St. Paul , .there6y creating a title problem for an HR conveyance.
Staff has talked with the State and they have indicated it would take approximately
30 days to obtain a revised deed. Bethesda, however, is anxious to close on the
property and commence final stages for construction anticipated or this year,
and the City, PED/HRA is anxious to recoup the $266,800.00 purch se price paid
for tfie site.
In order to be in a position �o convey this property as soon as ossi6le, th.e
following City Council Resolution requesting issuance of a Quit ,laim Deed to
HRA, is the quickest way to resolve tliis title problem issue.
Staff is, therefore, requesting that City Council consider this esolution as a
routine matter at the Counci7 meeting of Thursday, March 27, 1986, without referring
it on to committee.
