Desianation of Global One Commercial as Developer of MnDOT Parcel 38
Joe Hogeboom, City Planner, provided background on the proposed designation of Global
One Commercial as developer of a portion of the Golden Hills redevelopment area. He
indicated that the proposed uses are permitted under the 1-394 mixed used zoning district,
but acknowledged that the site plan is preliminary and the developer still has to address the
issues of access, storm water and sanitary sewer issues, building and fire code
requirements and soil conditions. Staff recommendation is to designate Global One
Commercial in order to address these issues prior to a formal offer to purchase the
property from MnDOT. Under state statutes, the land is either sold at auction or through
the HRA for redevelopment purposes. The designation provided that the developer bear
the costs related to studying these issues.
Mark Globus from Global One Commercial presented the proposed for a six story 165-
room hotel, one story branch bank and a six story 138-unit luxury apartments with
underground parking and took questions from the Commissioners.
