is to have a work plan that would cost $450,000 per year, one third coming from the County, one
third coming from the municipalities and one third coming from the private sector. He stated
they want to work with all of the Counties in a unified fashion.
Mr. Piggott stated they are asking Andover to contribute $14,641 per year. This is an opportunity
for Anoka County to take advantage of the growth. The organization can provide the opportunity
for the cities to work together to promote growth.
Commissioner Knight asked if the organization does any lobbying. Mr. Piggott indicated they do
not and are a 501c3 organization and are banned from lobbying.
Commissioner Knight asked what types of projects he has worked on. Mr. Piggott reviewed a
few of his latest projects working in other states.
Mr. Peterson stated it is about communication and they are not here to replace anyone on the City
staff. He stated they will need to work through the staff on this.
/ '\
\.J
Commissioner Jacobson asked if the City did not participate, would the City be a black hole in
their planning. Mr. Piggott stated they will still need to include Andover on the website and
cannot exlude them. He noted the $.50 per person is firm for every city in Anoka County.
Commissioner Trude stated Andover has very little space for commercial left and she wondered
why Andover would want to provide the need. Mr. Piggott stated if a project goes into a
neighboring community, the taxes will stay in the County and they are trying to get people to
have a vision. They are trying to help provide opportunities.
Mr. Peterson stated their partners will be both the Schools and the School District.
Commissioner Orttel wondered who is sponsoring the organization and how did it get started.
Mr. Peterson stated it was started in 1986. Connexus was one of the founders.
Mr. Nowak wondered how they kept the city members updated on what is going on. Mr. Piggott
stated they have quarterly meetings to update the communities. They want to try to communicate
and coordinate with the communities.
Mr. Piggott thanked the Commission for listening to their presentation and indicated if they had
any questions before a decision was made, they could contact him.

Mr. Craig Meshke of the Andover Baseball Association was at the meeting to answer questions.
Commissioner Jacobson wondered if it will meet the design standards of Andover Station North.
Mr. Neumeister stated it will have to.
Commissioner Orttel wondered if $70,000 will build the building. Mr. Berkowitz indicated it
would cost over $300,000 and they would like to do the project in phases.
Mr. Nowak asked if the building is going to be phased in, will it be usable. Mr. Meshke stated it
can be used for equipment storage and then when fInished, it will be able to be used for
announcing and concessions.

spring of next year. Mr. Meshke stated they would start construction whenever they can get in.

early. They now have the opportunity to start on this building.

Mr. Meshke stated their goal is to have the building open by spring of2007.

want usability and flexibility. Bruggeman Homes wants to have the home meet the buyer's
needs. They need to be able to be flexible.

SUBJECT: Discuss Bruggeman Homes Architectural Changes at "Parks ide" (continued)
DATE:
May 16, 2006
INTRODUCTION
Based on comments at the last EDA meeting, the architectural plans have been resubmitted by
Bruggeman Homes. They have restyled the 8-unit townhome that they propose to build in their First
Phase of the "Parkside at Andover Station" development. They have shorten the ridgeline considerably
and modified where the entrance is located on the end units. Please refer to the attached drawings.
DISCUSSION
The staffhas seen the drawings and recommends that the EDA approve of the changes they have
proposed. The proposed modifications to move the doorway for the end units to the short side of the
building improves the image of the ends of all the buildings. This also steps down the building on the
side adjacent to the street and that is a plus also.
ACTION REOUESTED
The EDA is asked to review the drawings and approve of the architectural design change to allow the
project to move forward.
Respectfully submitted,

The following is Bruggeman Homes proposed amendments:
"
'- j Bruggeman Homes requests an amendment to the mortgage from the Andover EDA, as the
initial release area anticipated under the original mortgage has changed due to the addition of
more property being purchased. The initial release parcel, Lot 5, Block I, is being platted
along with the new EDA property and the Povlitzski property which is being acquired under
the purchase agreement dated February 13,2006, The new plat will provide for 36 units, but
a portion of Lot 5, Block I would remain as outlots,
Bruggeman is proposing to close on the EDA and Povlitzski property and make a payment on
the mortgage, The intent is to obtain 36 platted lots at closing with an appropriate mortgage
partial release. The purchase is described as follows:
New initial release and purchase
36 units @ $15,500 release price

The mortgage will continue to encumber the remaining portion of Lot 5, Block I as well as
Lot 4, Block 1. Bruggeman has also requested the EDA to extend the term of the note by two
years (current term is May of2008, proposing May 2010),
If accepted by the EDA, Bruggeman Homes attorney will prepare for City Staff and City

DATE:
May 16, 2006
INTRODUCTION
A letter of intent has been submitted by Joyce and Daniel DeShaw that proposes purchase of a portion
of Lot I, Block 2, Andover Station North. Please find the letter of intent attached for your review.
DISCUSSION
The list of uses allowed in Andover Station North does not have a funeral home and crematorium listed.
Therefore the EDA must first decide if these uses will be allowed in Andover Station North. If the
EDA agrees that the uses should be amended then there should be a motion to amend the list of
allowable uses to include them. If the EDA decides the list should not allow these uses the staff should
be directed to return the letter of intent to Mr.DeShaw.
ACTION REQUESTED
The EDA is asked to discuss whether the Andover Station North uses should be amended to include
funeral homes and crematoriums. If the EDA feels that they should be allowed, then the letter of intent
should be discussed and determine whether there is interest in selling the land to Mr. DeShaw based on
the proposal that he has prepared.

Good Afternoon:
Please find attached the one-page handout that I am now using as I meet with community EDA's, city councils and town boards.
This has proved effective with the elected and appointed officials. I will have a much more in depth work plan available for our May
Economic Development Committee. I have made four presentations already, and have four more scheduled. I would like to thank
Ramsey and Columbus for being the first two communities to join. I am awaiting answers from two other communities, although I
felt that in both cases the meetings went well. Thanks for your support.

Good Aftemoon:
I am pleased to announce that we have completed the relocation into our new offices in the Northtown Financial Plaza. In addition,
we have acquired a new computer system and unveiled our new logo. We will shortly be constructing our new web page and
developing marketing materials. As we proceed, we will be meeting with all of the communities in the county to determine their
level of interest in participating in this regional economic development initiative.
Our goal is to develop a financing structure that is financed approximately one-third by the county, one-third by the communities,
and one-third by the private sector. At its most recent meeting, the board of the directors of the Anoka County Partners approved a
financing structure based upon a per-capita cost of $.50. I have included an attachment that highlights this.
Lro'\and I will be calling all of the communities to inquire on which is the best way for me to proceed. I am delighted to report that
t ~ity of Ramsey is the first to agree to fund at this level. Funding can occur through the general fund, an EDA, an IDA, an HRA,
or any other similar manner. I would be more that happy to meet with any community's economic development committee, planning
committee, city council, mayor or other group that you feel is the most appropriate. I look forward to speaking with all of you,
A reminder that the next quarterly meeting of the economic development professionals will be Wednesday, May 17, in Andover.
Thanks to Anoka for hosting last month's meeting.
Respectfully,
David Piggott

SUBJECT: Update on Andover Station North (Various Purchase Agreements/Closings)
DATE:
May 16, 2006
INTRODUCTION
This memo is provided as a status update for all the various purchase agreements and closings that are in
the process of being completed.
DISCUSSION
j
The following is the update on activities:
, ,
Recent discussion with a potential developers/purchasers have yielded a verbal indication that a letter of
intent will be in hand and up for discussion at the May 16th EDA meeting The property is just south of
139th Avenue and north of the wetland. The potential use is a funeral home/crematorium.
John Larkin has indicated that he is still exploring options for the property just north of 139th Avenue
and west of Hanson Blvd. John is interested in developing the sports training facility and is checking
with various companies to see ifhe can afford to build a building that would conform to the
architectural standards.
Staff met with Premier Development to discuss redevelopment opportunities along Bunker Lake
Boulevard near Jay Street (south side of Bunker). They are showing signs of being willing to work out
a deal to get redevelopment going in that area.
Staff continues the planning of the Andover Station North "Business Fair". We have picked Thursday,
June 15th from 5 -7 p.m. to hold the event. Co-sponsors are being secured.
Work continues on closing out purchase agreements approved by the EDA. The following is the update on
activity:
Rudnicki Purchase Agreement- The City Attorney and Staff have prepared the necessary documents to
complete the closing of this parcel. The closing scheduled for May 1,2006 was moved out a few weeks to
"} allow Mr. Rudnicki's financer time to complete the SBA loan paperwork. Mr. Rudnicki is expecting to
,~' close on the property before the end of the month. Mr. Rudnicki has submitted an application to the City
"
for a building permit and is on schedule to start construction as soon as the closing is complete. He has
also secured his construction contingency plan approval from the MPCA.
I
-'
Casey Purchase Agreement - The EDA approved the purchase agreement for the first parcel at the April
18th meeting. Since that meeting and consistent with EDA direction staff has reached an agreement with
Mr. Casey on the right of first refusal for parcel B. Mr. Casey has a final copy of purchase agreement and
needs to sign and bring in the down payment.
Bruggeman Homes Purchase Agreement- With Plute Homes no longer in the picture, the development
of Parks ide at Andover Station will move forward at a much slower pace, Bruggeman Homes has
requested some modifications to the development and to the takedown process originally outlined in the
original purchase agreements. Bruggeman is under contract to make an installment payment on the
purchase agreement in May,
Howard Purchase Agreement - Staff and the City Attorney continue to work with Tony Howard and his
Attorney to close the sale on this purchase agreement. He will likely sign and bring in the down payment
in the next week or two. Slight modifications to the square footage on the purchase were necessary after a
portion of the original lot was sold to Bruggeman Homes. Another modification is related to the 500 foot
restriction imposed by the WDE Landfill and the irregular shape ofthe lot.
Overall- Staff continues to pursue the EP A in Chicago to remove the institutional controls placed on the
Andover Station North parcels.
Jay Street final wear course paving is being planned for completion by late spring,
The site plans for Michael Casey's and Louis Rudnicki's buildings/sites are being prepared,
ACTION REOUIRED
This is an informational update to the EDA only, no action is needed.
