SUBJECT: Diseased Trees" DATE: September 3, 1985 Ramsey County has continued to maintain a diseased tree program for county land and R /W. A full -time temporary tree inspector conducts the inspections and administers the program. This year approximately 800 -900 trees were removed and about 1,500 were trimmed. In addition, chemical treatment and trenching are utilized adjacent to diseased trees in an effort to stop infection of heal trees. The possibility of allowing citizens to take trees through a permitting process was discussed with county personnel. It was felt that the clean up, restoration, securi and l i a b i l i t y aspects of such a program would not provide any cost savings compared to the current program. The State of Minnesota does not have an inspection program as such. The various state departments will, however, remove diseased trees identified by a city inspecto mb Y TO: FROM: SUBJECT: LOCATION: APPLICANT: OWNER: PROJECT: DATE: MEMORANDUM City Manager Director o-f Plan Community Development AO OU by OU401 ,:y P Review - Reconsideration Century Avenue at Battle Creek Lexington Investment .

Stout, President Public Private Ventures, Inc. Mr., Gary 88116y Suite 332, 4 Pine Tree Drive' Arden Hilis, Minn. 55112 June 7;,1985-.Bailey Enterprises 2233 University Avenue (612) 483 -2989 St, Paul,,: Minnesota Dear Mr. Bailey I have independently evaluated your proposal to construct an apartment 1project, ranging in size from approximately 72 to 78 units in Maplewood,Minnesota. I have reviewed data and information available to PublicPrivateVenturesfrom: the Census, the Apartment Guide, the apartmentownersandoperatorsinandaroundMaplewood, the Metropolitan Council,,the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, the Minnesota Multi - FamilyAssociation,, mortgage b other developers, etc. Based upon the review and analysis of this data performed by my firm., itismyprofessionalopinionthatthespecificproposedprojectwouldnotadverselyaffecttheaverageannualvacancyratestoapointaboveSRinexistingsoundMaplewoodrentalcomplexes. Since existing complexes constructed during the 1970's have an ability torenthousingforaratelowerthanthatyoumustcharge (due to increasesinconstruction; land, interest and other costs since that time) most existing owners would have the ability to attract tenants to their units atrentsthatyouwouldfinduneconomic. Therefore, should an unexpectedproblemdevelop, you should anticipate that your project would experiencethevacancyratesaboveSibrathertheexistingprojectsinMaplewoodduetothisrentdifferential. In addition, your proposed project amenities are not found in all existingMaplewoodunits (such as heated underground parking, larger than normalunits, elevators, etc.) which will require both your cost and rent structuretobeabovethatofcompetingunits. Due to the increased costs that yourprojectwillabsorb, it is likely that your units will not only avoidcompetitioninthesame .rental market with existing Maplewood units butwillalsoavoidcompetitionwithothernewMpJewoodunits If a project with the amenities that you propose is not available in Maplewood,, past experience indicates that potential Maplewood residentswilllocateinadjacentareas. The major competition that this project mayfaceistheproposedBrutgerprojectinSt. Paul, which proposes similar amenities, but is located.and primarily competes in the St. Paul market. Given the current demand forrental housing in the area, you could anticipate that the units that you construct will rent at,an acceptable rate. You may be* able to shorten the 1 to 2 year period normally required for full rent -up -and stabilization in,a project of this size, it you can move the project rapidly toward construction t his calendar .year. T feasibility of this project appears.to depend upon tax exempt financing, an early construction start, and project initiation under existing Federal tax legislation, This conclusion is based upon a number of factors, as summarized in a more extensive report. Basically, Maplewood has a projected averageannualrentalhousingdemandintherangeofapproximately256units per year, for the next five years. After five years, the total demand should decrease, based upon current Metropolitan Council projections.Due to low vacancy rates, the current year's demand for 256 rental housingshouldbeincreasedbyatleast107units (as previously estimated by another consultant) in order to account for the amount of construction necessary to increase vacancy in sound rental units up to approximatelythe5SratethatIs* considered normal and optimal. You will be competing in the upper one third of the estimated current market of 363 units. Due to the relative lack of construction of rental units in the Maplewood over the past few years, the above projection should be considered conservative in that there is most likely some "latent" demand for units that normally would have been built in former years had the opportunitybeenavailable. This latent demand has not been fully accounted for and therefore is not added to the above first year market projection. The above projections consider: the location of job centers in and near Maplewood, the proximity of the City to nearby population centers, the urban amenities that Maplewood offers, the City's relative lack of problems experienced inmost urban areas, the constrained housing growth in the past, the relatively high job growth in the past the future projections of job growth, the impact of job transfers on housing demandclosetoplacesofwork, the relatively high ratio of housing unit growth to population growth experienced in Maplewood in the p relatively lowlocalandregionalvacancies, declines in turnover rates for rental housinginMaplewoodtoapointbelowregionalaveragesinrecentyears., increasesV n apartment rents in the City over the past few years., regional and local fluctuations inmulti - family construction, the effect of t he proposed changes in federal taxation'on current and future rental unit development, projections of population and household increase for Maplewood and 10 surrounding municipalities, the high past and projected future ratio between job growth and household growth within Maplewood boundaries,,greater consumer desire for location in inner ring suburbs due to. increased concern about commutation times.. the;p9tential impact of future Increases-of mortgage I nterest. rates an future multifamily housingconstriction, the potential impact*,of .increased. construction costs on multi- family construction, the,: potential competitive financial impact of constructing new multifamily construction at existing tax exempt rates onunitsbuiltduringthepastdecade, and other relevant factors. It is also my professional opinion that adequa housing need and_deman_exists in the municipality for moderate income residents at or under t maximum current moderate income limit of $26,240,, t f111 203b of the units with the required low or moderate inco residents. Given the following facts: that these income limits are annually re evaluated andincreasedinproportionwithincreasesinaveragefamilyincomeinthe region; that you have the option to skew rents charged in 209b of the unitstoensurethattheseunitswillbeaffordableintheeventthatan unexpected problem -did. develop at some point in the future; and that youhavehadexperiencemeetingthisobligationinotherprojectsinwhichyouhaveanownershipormanagementinterest, in my opinion thtEojectshouldbeabletocomplywiththefederallow - to- moderate income requirements over the life of the bond issue.
