White City of Saint Paul Real Estate Department 140 City Hall Saint Paul MN 55102 Deaz Mr. White; The Port Authoriry and its neighborhood partners are preparing to embazk on the redevelopment of the Great Northem Business Center Phase I, also known as Ma�cson Steel. As we discussed, approxunately a month ago, the Port Authoriry wishes to levy special assessmenu in the amount of $320,000 for public improvement conshvction at the site. These special assessments will be divided among property pwchasers based on the percentage of property pwchased. I understand the ciry's process is to certify to Ramsey County principal and interest amounts payable for each year's property taxes over a twenty-yeaz period. T also realize that the interest rate is now 6.5% and will be applied to unpaid balances, and that the total assessment can be paid at one rime. These facts will be conveyed and agreed to via purchase agreements signed by purchasers of land. You will recall the Port Authority assessed approximately $300,000 back to Williams Hill land purchasers with no objecrion or disagreement by land purchasers. Each purchaser saw the value of the public mmprovements being constructed and was willing to pay its fair share. The total cost of site nnprovements for the Great Northem Business Center Phase I is $1,195,000, the Port Authority proposes to assess back to property purchasers $320,000. The Great Northern Business will contain approximately 19 developable acres of land. I have included a budget for the use of the $32U,00� of special assessment funds and the entire $1,145,��0 site improvement budget. In addition, the engineering summary report you requested and a map of the Great Nor[hern Business Centez Phase I aze attached. Construction of the site improvements for the Crreat Northern Susiness Center Phase I will commence on approximately June 1, 2000, and will be complete on approxunately September I, 2001. Even though not all of our conshvction will be complete in 200Q we would still like to ratify the entire $320,000 amount in 2000.

Prior to the Port Authority's demolirion and remediation efforts in 1997, the site was improved with almost 300,000 square feet of a combination of inetal and brick manufacturing buildings. The Port Authority demolished approximately 200,000 square feet of the brick buildings in the center portion of the site after receiving a 7.5-acre pazcei from Ramsey County's tax forfeiture process. The Port Authority will begin demolition and remedation on the remaining acreage in April of 2000 and begin construction of site improvements in June of 2000 in order to provide new building sites in October of 2000. The site is expected to generate 19 developable acres of land which will yield a minimum of 281 jobs using the Port Authority's minimum criteria and possibly 450 to 500 jobs using actually results at other Port Authority business centers. The site is bounded on the north by Topping Street, on the east by Como Avenue, on the south by the Burlington Northern main line and on the west by Dale Street. Initiatin�Action The project was initiated by the St. Paul Port Authority as part of its industrial business center redevelopment. Existin� Condifions The exisring site is approximately 21 acres in size. The site conta3ns approximately 150,000 square feet of inetal buildings that will be demolished to make way for new conshuction. The site is heavily contaminated and is in need of remediafion in accordance with an MPCA approved response action plan and the demands of the private mazketplace in order to buy and sale properly. Sanitary sewer, watermain and other utilities are not adequate as currently constructed to provide for industrial redevelopment. The site is zoned I2, but will most likely contain I l uses due to the restrictions imposed by the Port Authority's urban design covenants. G:\DATAUWY�MAXSON�PUB IMP.DOC Proposed Improvements A. Site Grading/Soils Remediation pb-a�'�� The Port Authority has purchased 3 /a of the 21-acre site. The remaining portion will be acquued through condemnation by June 1, 2000. The Port Authority will remove a11 improvements from the site and conduct soii remediation activities in the summer of 2000. Grading will take place upon completion of excavarion of contaminated material to provide a flat levei site far new buildang construction. Grading will be done in accordance with an overall �ading plan to manage stormwater runoff from the site. B. Sanitary Sewer Sanitary sewer wili be extended 600' west, along a 30' easement directly across from Atwater Street. Sanitary sewer services will be extended from the new sewer to service the proposed four lots. All exisring unused sanitary sewer within the site will be abandoned. C. Water A 10" watermain will be extended 1,000' west from Como Avenue, within a 30' easement, directly across from Atwater Street. A 30Q' — 6" watermain will loop the new 10" watermain with Topping Street. All existing unused watermains and services will be abandoned. Water services will be extended to the property line of each lot far domesric and fire protecrion. D. Storm Sewer The existing 48" storm sewer west of Atwater will be incorporated into our project. Lateral storm drains will be extended from the existing 48" storm sewer to capture runoff from lots and the roadway. E. Street Improvements Topping Street will be reconstructed with curb and gutter and a bituminous 40' wide surface from Dale Street to the new cul-de-sac and 30' wide from the new cul-de-sac to Como Avenue. A new sidewalk will be constructed on the south side of Topping Street, from Dale to Como. A new street with a cul-de-sac is proposed form Topping Street, approximately 300' south, then turning east for 500 feet. The street will consist of a 40' wide bituminous G:\DATAVWY�MAXSON�PUB IMP.DOC 00 -a ,� d ' surface, 120' diameter cul-de-saq curb and gutter, sidewalks and boulevards. Boulevards will be restored with sodding to control erosion. F. Landscaping and Signage Boulevard trees will be planted in accordance with the City of St. Paul Reforestation Program. Landscaping including trees, shrubs, irrigation and signing are proposed for the Dale/Topping Street entrance to the Business Pazk. G. Street Lighting Street lighting will be in accordance with the City of St. Paul's standard lantern style and lantem spacing. Alternative To do nothing would not be consistent with the city's overail plan to remediate "brownfield" areas and improve neighborhoods. In fact, the Frogtown and North End neighborhoods crafted a vision that calls for industrial redevelopment of the former Maxson Steel site in order to ereate new jobs for neighborhood residents. Posirive Benefits Proposed improvexnents will result in redevelopment of an existing blighted area. Extension of street and utilities will provide the necessary infrastructure to bring hundreds of new jobs to the Great Northern Business Center site. Proposed amenities including sireet lighring, boulevard trees and landscaping will significantly improve the aestherics of the azea. Complerion of the public improvements will facilitate new building conshuction and new private inveshnent in the neighbarhood. The Port Authority will work with its neigJiborhood partners, North End Area Revitalization, District 6, District 7 Planning Councils and Frogtown Action Alliance to recruit and train neighborhood residents for the new jobs. Adverse Affects Normal problems associated with construction such as noise, dust and general disruption will be present. G:\DATAUWY�MAXSON�PUB IMP.DOC oo-�`�' S�ecial Consideration Close coordination of constnxcfion with affected reviewing agencies, i.e. MnDOT, BN, MPCA and City of Saint Paul will be required. Construcrion acrivity will need to be coordinated to minunize impact on traffic in the azea. Time Schedule Demolirion and remediation work wili begin on April 1, 2000. The Port Authority expects to award a conuactor to the lowest responsible bidder at its March 28, 2000, board meeting. Saniitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer and other public improvements will be constructed in the summer of 2000 with completion on approximately November 15, 2000. It is expected that some final detail work will be necessary in the spring and summer of 2001 in order to complete public improvements.

White City of Saint Paul Real Estate Department 140 City Hall Saint Paul MN 55102 Deaz Mr. White; The Port Authoriry and its neighborhood partners are preparing to embazk on the redevelopment of the Great Northem Business Center Phase I, also known as Ma�cson Steel. As we discussed, approxunately a month ago, the Port Authoriry wishes to levy special assessmenu in the amount of $320,000 for public improvement conshvction at the site. These special assessments will be divided among property pwchasers based on the percentage of property pwchased. I understand the ciry's process is to certify to Ramsey County principal and interest amounts payable for each year's property taxes over a twenty-yeaz period. T also realize that the interest rate is now 6.5% and will be applied to unpaid balances, and that the total assessment can be paid at one rime. These facts will be conveyed and agreed to via purchase agreements signed by purchasers of land. You will recall the Port Authority assessed approximately $300,000 back to Williams Hill land purchasers with no objecrion or disagreement by land purchasers. Each purchaser saw the value of the public mmprovements being constructed and was willing to pay its fair share. The total cost of site nnprovements for the Great Northem Business Center Phase I is $1,195,000, the Port Authority proposes to assess back to property purchasers $320,000. The Great Northern Business will contain approximately 19 developable acres of land. I have included a budget for the use of the $32U,00� of special assessment funds and the entire $1,145,��0 site improvement budget. In addition, the engineering summary report you requested and a map of the Great Nor[hern Business Centez Phase I aze attached. Construction of the site improvements for the Crreat Northern Susiness Center Phase I will commence on approximately June 1, 2000, and will be complete on approxunately September I, 2001. Even though not all of our conshvction will be complete in 200Q we would still like to ratify the entire $320,000 amount in 2000.

Prior to the Port Authority's demolirion and remediation efforts in 1997, the site was improved with almost 300,000 square feet of a combination of inetal and brick manufacturing buildings. The Port Authority demolished approximately 200,000 square feet of the brick buildings in the center portion of the site after receiving a 7.5-acre pazcei from Ramsey County's tax forfeiture process. The Port Authority will begin demolition and remedation on the remaining acreage in April of 2000 and begin construction of site improvements in June of 2000 in order to provide new building sites in October of 2000. The site is expected to generate 19 developable acres of land which will yield a minimum of 281 jobs using the Port Authority's minimum criteria and possibly 450 to 500 jobs using actually results at other Port Authority business centers. The site is bounded on the north by Topping Street, on the east by Como Avenue, on the south by the Burlington Northern main line and on the west by Dale Street. Initiatin�Action The project was initiated by the St. Paul Port Authority as part of its industrial business center redevelopment. Existin� Condifions The exisring site is approximately 21 acres in size. The site conta3ns approximately 150,000 square feet of inetal buildings that will be demolished to make way for new conshuction. The site is heavily contaminated and is in need of remediafion in accordance with an MPCA approved response action plan and the demands of the private mazketplace in order to buy and sale properly. Sanitary sewer, watermain and other utilities are not adequate as currently constructed to provide for industrial redevelopment. The site is zoned I2, but will most likely contain I l uses due to the restrictions imposed by the Port Authority's urban design covenants. G:\DATAUWY�MAXSON�PUB IMP.DOC Proposed Improvements A. Site Grading/Soils Remediation pb-a�'�� The Port Authority has purchased 3 /a of the 21-acre site. The remaining portion will be acquued through condemnation by June 1, 2000. The Port Authority will remove a11 improvements from the site and conduct soii remediation activities in the summer of 2000. Grading will take place upon completion of excavarion of contaminated material to provide a flat levei site far new buildang construction. Grading will be done in accordance with an overall �ading plan to manage stormwater runoff from the site. B. Sanitary Sewer Sanitary sewer wili be extended 600' west, along a 30' easement directly across from Atwater Street. Sanitary sewer services will be extended from the new sewer to service the proposed four lots. All exisring unused sanitary sewer within the site will be abandoned. C. Water A 10" watermain will be extended 1,000' west from Como Avenue, within a 30' easement, directly across from Atwater Street. A 30Q' — 6" watermain will loop the new 10" watermain with Topping Street. All existing unused watermains and services will be abandoned. Water services will be extended to the property line of each lot far domesric and fire protecrion. D. Storm Sewer The existing 48" storm sewer west of Atwater will be incorporated into our project. Lateral storm drains will be extended from the existing 48" storm sewer to capture runoff from lots and the roadway. E. Street Improvements Topping Street will be reconstructed with curb and gutter and a bituminous 40' wide surface from Dale Street to the new cul-de-sac and 30' wide from the new cul-de-sac to Como Avenue. A new sidewalk will be constructed on the south side of Topping Street, from Dale to Como. A new street with a cul-de-sac is proposed form Topping Street, approximately 300' south, then turning east for 500 feet. The street will consist of a 40' wide bituminous G:\DATAVWY�MAXSON�PUB IMP.DOC 00 -a ,� d ' surface, 120' diameter cul-de-saq curb and gutter, sidewalks and boulevards. Boulevards will be restored with sodding to control erosion. F. Landscaping and Signage Boulevard trees will be planted in accordance with the City of St. Paul Reforestation Program. Landscaping including trees, shrubs, irrigation and signing are proposed for the Dale/Topping Street entrance to the Business Pazk. G.
