Present: Commissioners Don Jacobson, Mike Knight, Ken Orttel, Julie Trude; Joyce Twistol Commissioner Robert Nowak, Edward Schultz (Advisor to the EDA) Executive Director, Jim Dickinson Community Development Director, Will Neumeister City Engineer, Dave Berkowitz Others Absent: Also present: APPROVAL OF MINUTES June 20, 2006 Regular Minutes: Correct as written. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Twistol, approval of the Minutes as written. Motion carried 4 ayes, 1 present (Jacobson). LETTER OF INTENTnOWN CENTER COMPANIES & NORTH STAR PARTNERSIPRESENTATION & REVIEW Mr. Neumeister stated a revised letter of intent was negotiated with Town Center Companies, LLC in conjunction with Northstar Partners (as broker) to purchase Lot 1, Block 2, Andover Station North. Commissioner Orttel arrived at 6:02 p.m. Commissioner Trude asked if some assessments were paid on the other parcels. Mr. Dickinson stated to begin with they are talking about assessing for private streets but they elected to go with a public street. He noted there were assessments paid. Commissioner Trude asked if they would be adding private roads within the site. Mr. Dickinson stated the applicant would need to build them. Commissioner Jacobson asked what the applicants objected to on the letter of intent. Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - July 18, 2006 Page 2 Mr. Doug Uhrhammer, Town Center Companies & Scott Kummel, Northstar Partners, made a presentation to the Commission. Mr. Uhrhammer stated he would like to see a six month extension being included in this. Mr. Kummel stated the issue with the exclusivity is it will take them at least a year to get the land and building ready for occupancy. They have a team that does the office leasing and they have indicated they need a year for marketing. Mr. Kummel understood the Commission's reluctance to hold this land up for a year. Commissioner Orttel asked if they could give updates to the City on leasing percentages. Mr. Uhrhammer stated he gets reports from Mr. Kummel on other properties they are leasing and they would be agreeable to this. Commissioner Orttel stated their concern is that it could sit for a year and nothing may happen and then the EDA will get the land back and have to try to sell it again, Mr. Kummel thought as soon as everyone is in agreement they would start trying to lease the property. Mr. Kummel did not think it would be difficult to lease once they started. He noted office space is prime today and there is a gap in normal office buildings. Mr. Uhrhammer stated he needs to make sure he gets a concept layout done on the building so Mr. Kummel can go out and market it. Commissioner Jacobson stated on the bottom of the agreement it says the buyer is Town Center Companies but Northstar is not listed at all and if something were to get done, Northstar gets paid. Mr. Uhrhammer stated they take the risk to make sure the building gets leased permanently, He noted that Northstar will not get paid if they do not find people to lease. Commissioner Jacobson asked if they have looked at all of the agreements that go with the property. Mr. Kummel stated they understand and will go along with the agreements. Commissioner Jacobson asked what is wrong with the $25,000 non-refundable deposit. Mr. Uhrhammer stated they will be spending $40,000 to get the $25,000 back. They do not know what type of market is in Andover and they have a large amount at risk. Commissioner Jacobson noted they have two prospects and if they do not do anything for six months and the EDA gets the property back the prospects will be gone. He stated the only way they will not get the $25,000 back is if the EDA gets the property back. Commissioner Trude asked if they will be looking at some of the businesses by Mercy Hospital along with some specialists for medical. Mr. Kummel reviewed what they are looking at for businesses. Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - July 18, 2006 Page 3 Mr. Dickinson noted they upped the price per square foot and they did some modification to exclusivity. He asked if the concern is the non-refundable $25,000, would the applicant, after six months, get an extension and would they be willing to agree to the $25,000 non-refundable deposit then. Mr. Uhrhammer thought this would be very fair. Mr. Uhrhammer stated one thing he did not understand on the exclusivity is when the money becomes real. Their plan is to try to spend some money and get this plan in the market. Commissioner Orttel asked if everyone has agreed to the increase in price besides the EDA. Mr. Uhrhammer stated they have agreed to it. Mr. Kummel stated they cannot agree to exclusivity. Commissioner Orttel thought this seems like the EDA is dealing with a broker. Mr. Dickinson stated that is correct except they already have a prospective buyer. Commissioner Trude asked what staffs advice is on the six months because she does not have a problem with it. Mr. Dickinson suggested they enter into the agreement including the six/six and taking out the limited exclusivity and putting in the exclusivity from the original proposal. Mr. Neumeister stated he likes what he conceptually described because it brings in the big building rather than the small buildings and brings in higher paying jobs to Andover. Motion by Trude, Seconded by Orttel, to approve the Letter of Intent Agreement including in it the six month no deposit and after six months an extension with $25,000 non-refundable deposit and taking out the limited exclusivity and putting in the exclusivity from the original proposal. Commissioner Jacobson asked if they could add to the motion, monthly reports regarding this. Mr. Dickinson stated they will request bi-monthly reports. Motion carried unanimously. REVIEW REQUEST FROM ANOKA COUNTY PARTNERS Mr. Neumeister stated at the May 2, 2006 EDA meeting, Mr. David Piggott, representing Anoka County Partners, made a presentation to the EDA requesting funding to support their efforts to work to bring new businesses into Andover and the Anoka County area. Since that time, Mr. Piggott has prepared a 2006-07 Work Plan and has begun to proceed to implement it. At that meeting, the EDA deferred any decision on this request for funding and it is now being brought back for a final decision. Commissioner Jacobson stated Anoka County Partners was going to the Anoka County Board and requesting $150,000. He wondered if they received that and how many cities have said yes and how many have said no. Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - July 18, 2006 Page 4 Mr. Piggott stated the Anoka County Board has approved $158,000 and they are going to hear their reply August 25th as far as their level of participation. Mr. Piggott named some of the cities in Anoka County that have agreed to add their amounts to their 2007 budget. He stated the only large ones he has not gotten to are Spring Lake Park and Lexington. Some of the more rural cities are going to wait until more come on board. Mayor Gamache asked if putting it in the budget means the Council has approved it or staff has added it to the budget. Mr. Piggott stated staff has added it in their budget but the Council has not approved it yet. Commissioner Jacobson thought the work plan was very light the first year. Commissioner Trude stated her concern is they are about 98 percent residential and have a smaller business base so it is hard to justify the cost because the residents spend their money in other cities. Mr. Dickinson stated staffhas gone through the big searches and they will probably not land them but it benefits Anoka County and brings in a tax base, which benefits them. Mayor Gamache asked if other counties have this type of economic development organization. Mr. Piggott stated they do but Minneapolis and St. Paul do not. In other parts of the country it is really prevalent. If the marketing plan is light it is because they do not have any money and cannot do national marketing without a budget. He stated once they get money in, the plan will progress. Commissioner Knight asked if they will be part of the Viking plan in Blaine which will benefit Blaine for the most part. How does that affect them and the rest of the County. Mr. Piggott stated they are a 501(C3) and cannot lobby. It is his personal belief that the Viking project is not going to be the large growth; it will be the light rail and the completion of Highway 65 upgrade and the sewer system in East Bethel. Commissioner Orttel wondered why the Anoka County Board will only appoint board members who would be donating and who the benefactors will be for the board placement. Mr. Piggott stated the board will oversee the operations and approve yearly plans. He explained why they want board members to also donate. The board members will not get any special privilege by being on the Board. Mr. Peterson stated there will not be any exclusivity with certain banks. Commissioner Trude stated she would like to see this go in the 2007 budget and see how it goes. She would like to see it come out of TIP funds and will not take away from the road fund. Motion by Commissioner Trude, seconded by President Gamache, to include funding for the organization in the 2007 budget with funds coming from the TIP funds. Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - July 18, 2006 Page 5 Commissioner Orttel stated he would like to see updates regarding this. Ms. Twistol stated she is going to be voting against this because she does not think Andover would be benefiting enough from this and she could not support the expenditure at this time. Motion carried 4 ayes, 2 nays (Twistol, Jacobson). UPDATE ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES Mr. Neumeister updated the Commission on development activities in Andover Station North. OTHER BUSINESS Funeral Home Prooosal Mr. Neumeister reviewed the proposal with the Commission. Mr. Neumeister proposed the Funeral Home be placed on the reserved restaurant site. The Commission said no to the restaurant site being used. Commissioner Knight did not think it made sense to have it next to the ball fields either. Commissioner Orttel thought Site One could be split in two for the funeral home. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 7:01 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Susan Osbeck, Recording Secretary 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W, . ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304. (763) 755-5100 FAX (763) 755-8923 .

FROM: SUBJECT: Purchase Agreement (Michael CaSey) DATE: August 15,2006 INTRODUCTION The City Attorney has received a certified mail request from Michael Casey's Attorney to withdraw from the purchase agreement and refund the earnest money. The City Attorney has advised that the EDA should terminate the purchase agreement and refund the earnest money to Michael Casey. The City Attorney advised the staff that the terms and conditions as stated in the purchase agreement Sections 5 and Section 12 were not satisfied and it would be difficult to defend why a refund was not given, should the EDA choose not to refund the earnest money. Please refer to the attached letter from Moss and Barnett. ACTION REOUESTED EDA is requested to accept the letter from Moss and Barnett and authorize the refund of the earnest money to Michael Casey.

WWW,CI.ANDOVER.MN,US TO: EDA President and Board Members CC: Jim Dickinson, Executive Director Will Neumeister, Community Development Director d- FROM: SUBJECT: Discuss Andover Station List of Allowable Uses DATE: August 15,2006 INTRODUCTION On two occasions, May 16, 2006 and June 20, 2006, the EDA discussed modifying the list of allowable uses to enable a funeral home and crematorium proposal to be acted on. This will need to be fmalized at this meeting to bring the request to a conclusion. The EDA is asked to first act on the decision whether the uses list for Andover Station North should be modified to allow the funeral home and crematorium to be added. Once that decision is made, then the EDA could either review the letter of intent or they could dismiss the request. At the May meeting, the discussion centered on whether the use list should be modified to allow the EDA to entertain these as allowable uses in Andover Station North. The staffwas directed to gather input from Bruggeman Homes and Hanson Builders as to whether this use would be considered acceptable to them. Attached is a letter from Bruggeman Homes that generally objects to the use change. See attached minutes for more detail. At the June meeting, discussion occurred on whether the site they have asked for would be better saved for a larger office complex and also whether the Great River property was an available option or not. The EDA directed staff to investigate that possibility. The attached letter from Great River indicates that they do not wish to sell any property at this time. The developer of the funeral home was willing to accept a low-key sign so that Bruggeman may not have an objection See attached minutes for more detail. 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 newest letter of intent to Mr.DeShaw with the acknowledgement that the EDA could not act on the request because the uses were not changed. ACTION REOUESTED 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, make a motion to that effect or direct staff to continue with the list as it currently exists, Respectfully submitted, Will Neumeiste~ Attachments List of Uses Allowed in Andover Station North Letter from Bruggeman Homes (June 8, 2006) Letter from Great River Energy List of Cities with Crematoriums Detailed Crematorium Information EDA Minutes (May 16, 2006 & June 20, 2006) "/.. ~ 1- ~LL6U4l&..1S os; ... .. -/~ ~- fli!n","'-l1-u ------. . .___. . , ._e<5____~_1 _ _J~fVYuvc;r:.. ~1lrll{)1d- 1.06 "Property" shall mean all of the real Property submitted to the provisions of these Design Standards, including all improvements located on the real Property now or in the future.

Andover, MN 55304 Re: Andover Station North Dear Will, As you recall, at the EDA meeting on May 16, 2006 Bruggeman properties, LLC was asked to review and respond to the proposal for the Thurston Funeral Home Andover Chapel. We have reviewed the proposal with our staff and the sales staff of Bruggeman Homes. The consensus was the construction of a funeral home and aematorium on Jay Street near the entrance to the Par1<Side neighbortloOcl could have a negative impact on the sale of homes. This was in view of the other concerns impacting the property salability related to the WOE landfill and the Hghted ball fields. Although we are aware of those existing constraints, introduction of one more possible sales objection could compound the problem, particularly in Hght of alternatives available in Ramsey. In addition, we beHeve the air quality issues related to a crematorium have been adequately addressed. However. we beHave the crematorium has a considerably more negative image perception than a funeral home alone. . AlthOugh we are opposed to the change, if the Andover EDA were to revise the use restrictions to anew the funeral home, we ask them to consider the following: 1) Consider a1temative siteS within Andover Station North that do not front on Jay Street 2) Require'ew key" signage identifying the faClTIty. 3) Umit signage to the words "Thurston Funeral Home Andover Chaper, with no reference to the aematorium permitted on any exterior signage within Andover Station North. The proposed architecture for the facility is attractive and appropriate and enhanced landscaping could further mitigate negative perceptions of the use. We appreciate the continuous support and concem the Andover EDA has consistently shown and welcome the opportunity to discuss this issue with you in further detail.

Weare recognized as the leader in cremation equipment, with over 3,000 installations throughout the United States and 50 countries, Our designs have been granted U,S. patents, and have been adopted as industry standards for quality and performance, In addition, we are the largest seT\'ice and repair organization, servicing all brands of cremation equipment. Our company has been involved with the various tie Ids of combustion for many years, and directly related to the cremation industry for over 52 years, We are a member in good standing with the Cremation Association of North America, and became its first supplier member approximately 40 years ago. As the largest manufacturer of cremation equipment, our company annually markets over 70% of our production to the funeral industry, Most funeral establishments are located in residential communities and/or light commercial areas, since they are there to serve the local population, The cremation equip- ment is installed within the funeral home and is generally considered by most zoning regulations to be an extension of existing business and/or sef\'ices. The equipment operates without smoke or odor. and each and every installation must be permitted by the environmental authorities for the city, state or province in which it is installed, The equipment we manufacture is Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed, confirming maximum safety of both equipment and personnel. In addition, in Canada our equipment is built to the standards of the Canadian Gas Association (CGA), and is inspected and approved by them for safety of both the electrical and gas control systems, Each model manufactured by our company is tested by an independent testing laboratory against standards set forth by the federal government. Our equipment's emission levels are less than half the allowable standards to ensure environmental quality, Residents of the area will not be aware that the equipment is operating, 2045 Sprint Boulevard' Apopka, Flonda 32703' 800,327-2831 '407-886-5533' Fax: 407-886-5990 <IE:) EIdeR.

The emission levels are well below allowable levels, The equipment operates automatically and has built-in pollution detection equipment that constantly supervIses the operation. safeguarding against pollution and environmental impact. Cycle time is approximately two hours, When this cycle time is multiplied by the annual frequency of use. the actual hours of operation become insignificant. Example: 8,760 hours per year. Assumption. 100 cremations annually x 2 hours cycle time: 200 operating hours or 2% the total available hours, The present rate of cremation in this country is approximately 28'Yo, The projections are that it will grow within the next ten years to 38% - 42%, It is of vital importance that these services be locally anilable to residents of the community, to help minimize cost to them and fulfilling their demands, I appreciate your interest and concern regarding the basic information surrounding the installation of cremation equipment. Please feel free to distribute this letter of information to any individuals and/or group that might have interest.

J.O INTRODUCTION On May 5, 2005, Air Testing & Consulting, Inc" conducted the following tests on Baldwin Fairchild's Human Crematory Incinerator located at 301 N, Ivanhoe Blvd, in Orlando, Florida: (1) Particlllate Emission (EPA Methods 1 - 5) (2) Carbon Monoxide (EPA Method 10) (3) Visible Emissions (EPA Method 9) (4) Oxygen (EPA Method 3A) These tests were perfonned at the request of Mathews Cremation Division to prove compliance on the Power Pak II crematory incinerator. Orange County, Environmental Protection Division, representatives, Gregory Bryant, Ilka Bundy and John Casper audited the test. 2.0 SUMl\lARY OF RESULTS The results of the emISSIon testing are presented in the Test Summary. The Particulate emissions averaged 0.0549 grains per dry standard cubic foot (gr/dscf) and CO emissions averaged 2.2 parts per million (ppmv), each corrected to 7% O2, Op3city, highest six-minute Zl\eragc. on the stacie \VZlS 0%. 4.0 PROCESS DESCRIPTION The facility operates a Matthews Power Pak II crematory for the purpose of disposing of human remains. The uni t is rated at 100 lbslhr and operates on a two hour cycle. See attached flow diagram. The design firing rate to the primary chamber is 0.7 MMBtu/hr and the rate to the afterburner is 1.2 MMBtuIhr. After the secondary chamber has been heated sufficiently, the cremator burner ignites the cremation process is initiated. A typical cremation takes from I to 2 hours, but the time may vary depending on the body weights and various other factors. (See "Crematory Process Flow Diagram"). The testing personnel detected no objectionable odor during the stack test. REGULATORY SUMMARY BALDWIN FAIRCHILD HUMAN CREMATORY MAY 5, 2005 * \t PERMIT NO.

ANDOVER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUmORITY MEETING MAY 16, 2006 - MINUTES eeting of the Andover Economic Development Authority was called to order by Secre Don Jacobson at 6:00 pm. Tuesday, May 16,2006 at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Cros Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Commissioners Absent: Also Present: Mike Knight, Ken Orttel, Julie Trude (arrived at 6:04 pm), oyce Twistol, Robert Nowak Pr . ent Mike Gamache Jim Dic' on, Executive Director Dave Berko' City Engineer Will Neumeister, unity Development Director Others APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion by Orttel, seconded by Knight to approve the minutes of May 2, 2 Motion carried. . DISCUSS LETTER OF INTENT (Daniel DeShaw) Mr. Neumeister explained that Keystone Development is working with Thurston- Lindberg Funeral Home on this project. At the present time the list of uses allowed in Andover Station North does not include a funeral home or crematorium. If this is a use the EDA would like in that area it would need to be added to the list. Russ Karash, Keystone Development presented a drawing of the proposed funeral home showing the elevations. He noted that they have a 40% cremation rate at Thurston- Lindberg. (Vice President Trude arrived at 6:04 pm to chair the meeting). Mr. Karash explained that the equipment that will be used for the crematorium is odorless, smokeless and capable of doing 4-6 bodies a day. They plan to do about 50 per year. He explained the process and the amount of time that is necessary for cremation. One of the concerns that people have regarding crematoriums is the mercury that is in teeth. He noted that there has been a 30% decrease in the number of mercury fillings as they usually use porcelain. He also stated that the EP A is not going to monitor crematoriums any more. Economic Development Authority Meeting May 16, 2006 - Minutes Page 2 Commissioner Nowak asked if there would be a large smoke stack. Mr. Karash replied that it is about 20 inches high. There is no smoke because it bums at 700 degrees and there is an after-burner that bums the smoke. Commissioner Jacobson asked if this is approved would the EDA need to go back to all of the people who have purchased other lots in the plat to see if they would be agreeable to allowing funeral homes and crematoriums as an allowed use. Mr. Neumeister thought that as long as the convenants were not being changed we wouldn't have to. Commissioner Jacobson felt that there is a lot of asphalt and asked if the purchasers would be willing to add more green space. Mr. Neumeister noted that they meet the requirements for green space. Commissioner Orttel stated that a lot of funeral homes don't return pacemakers and other medical devices and asked how Thurston-Lindberg deals with them. Mr. DeShaw explained that devices are required to be removed and they have a service that picks them up and disposes of them as required by law. Mr. Neumeister showed the EDA a drawing of Andover Station North. noting where the green space is located. If the EDA wants more green space the purchaser can reduce the parking. Commissioner Knight asked what the opposition was to the other location previously brought forward for a funeral home and crematorium. Mr. Neumeister stated that the people in the area were concerned with health issues. The EDA discussed with Mr. Karash if they would be willing to take a different lot Commissioner Knight noted that there is heavy residential going in across the street and he didn't know how they would feel about this use. . Greg Schlink, Bruggeman Homes, stated that he would like a little time to talk to his marketing people. Vice President Trude explained that the EDA would want to know if this use would prevent people from buying Bruggeman's homes. Commissioner Twistol stated that the Hanson Builders property is very well screened and she would have no problem with this use. Mr. Neumeister explained that they would get the information to the developers and come back to the EDA with their comments. Vice President Trude requested that the ap Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - June 20, 2006 Page 2 esident Gamache arrived at 6:05 p.m. Motio Orttel, Seconded by Trude, approval of allocation of$42,500 to Mr. Mistelske. Motion carried un imously. LAND SALES AT ANDOVER STATION NORTH Community Development . ctor Neumeister stated the City Attorney has advised the EDA that when land is sold in Ando Station North, a public hearing is necessary. It is appropriate to hold the public hearings for the d sales to Louis Rudnicki for a retail development and also to Michael Casey for a light industria evelopment now that the purchase agreements have been put into fmal form and signed. Motion by Trude, Seconded by Knight, to open e public hearing at 6:05 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. No one wished to address the EDA. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, to close the public hearin t 6:05 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. Commissioner Trude asked staff to check with City Attorney Hawkins if they were on supposed to authorize this item to go forward because she would hate to see something g wrong. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Trude, to proceed forward with the closing properties as discussed in the staff report. Motion carried unanimously. .. LEITER OF INTENT - REVIEW FUNERAL HOME PROPOSAL (CONTINUED) Community Development Director Neumeister stated on May 16,2006, a letter of intent was brought to the EDA related to a funeral home and crematorium proposal. The letter was submitted by Daniel DeShaw for a portion of Lot 1, Block 2, Andover Station North. Commissioner Trude stated when she read Bruggeman's letter, it indicated they already have some issues they have to deal with in regard to this property. She thought if this issue stood alone, it may not be such a big issue but with two other issues, it may be too much for the homeowners and builders to handle. She would like to see staff work with the applicants on another site if any are available. President Gamache wondered if they want to adjust the list to let the funeral home fit somewhere else. Commissioner Trude stated she was not interested in changing the guidelines for Andover Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - June 20, 2006 Page 3 Station North. Commissioner Orttel stated he did not have a problem with this and he did not think there was anything negative and people would not even know a crematorium was there. President Gamache agreed and thought it was a perception of people. He thought the design fit in there nicely. He wondered if Great River would be willing to sell a portion of their land on Bunker Lake Boulevard for this. Commissioner Trude wondered if they would be able to get a restaurant in the area if there was a funeral home there. Mr. Nowak stated he was willing to allow this in the area until he heard there were objections from Bruggeman and he did not want to risk any deal with them. Commissioner Trude wondered if the funeral home would fit into the vacant lot by G-Will Liquor and would they be willing to rezone if necessary. Commissioner Orttel stated this is the nicest development within the entire park and he hated to run the applicant out of the city because of perceptions. Commissioner Trude asked why they would split the land when they have a proposal to buy the entire parcel and if they allowed this they would have an issue with sales of the townhomes. President Gamache stated he did not have a problem with this going in where proposed but he wondered if they could move it further to the east or north. . Commissioner Orttel thought staff should look into the Great River site to see if they could sell some land for this. Mr. Russ Karach stated they picked that lot because eight to ten months ago there was a bank going in and a day care and office space going in and now that has changed. Mr. Nowak wondered how the developer would respond to the issues Bruggeman has in his letter. Mr. Russ Karach stated a low key sign would not be an issue for them. He thought a crematorium was actually an asset to the location. There would not be a lot of traffic associated with this and they are willing to do cross easements to help out traffic control and do whatever the City wants with landscaping. He thought the Great River property would be overpriced and this is the second attempt at a location. Commissioner Trude wondered if they move the funeral home further to the east, would the parcel be large enough for the medical proposal because they need a base for customers in order to get a restaurant in. Mr. Nowak thought the first site along Hanson would be a good site for the funeral home. The Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - June 20, 2006 Page 4 developer thought there might be an issue with methane gas. Commissioner Trude stated they would need to vent the foundation. Ms. Twistol did not think a crematorium was such a bad thing. Commissioner Trude stated generally they do not have funeral services in a strip mall area; they are more accepted in a residential area. President Gamache stated they have some options to look at and he thought they liked the general plan for the funeral home. 'ER OF INTENT - REVIEW TOWN CENTER COMPANIESINORTHSTAR 'RS PROPOSAL Communi evelopment Director Neumeister stated a letter of intent has been received from Town Center ompanies, LLC in conjunction with Northstar Partners (as broker) to purchase Lot 1, Block 2, dover Station North. They have indicated they would develop professional offices, including p ssibly a bank on the site. The site is the large parcel at the southwest comer of 139th and Hanson ulevard. Commissioner Trude thou t the deposit of $25,000 should be non-refundable. Coinmissioner Orttel stated he did not oppos the use but the deal is leaning toward the applicant's benefit. He stated what they are going to do or six months is try to sell the land and if they cannot then they are not out anything but the EDA uld have to sit idle on the property for that amount of time. Commissioner Trude wondered if they uld have the applicants come in and talk to them about this. Mr. Dickinson stated they do want to e an exclusive marketer of the property and he would check to see if they would be availabl 0 discuss this further. Commissioner Trude thought they would get quite few employees in a large building that would be helpful in getting a restaurant in the area. Mr. Dickinson discussed some of the developments Town Commissioner Orttel stated what concerns him is it looks like y will be dropping the price to sell the parcel to this developer and he did not know if it was fair the public because they would also be paying a brokerage fee. Mr. Neumeister stated they gave the developer a higher number than wha . s in the proposal. $4.75 a foot was what staff gave them for a price and they would be buildin dollar building. Mr. Nowak wondered if they should go back to them at $4.50 a square foot and a n -refundable deposit. Commissioner Trude stated they should counter offer for more per square fee nd then 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N,W, . ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304. (763) 755-5100 FAX (763) 755-8923 .

This new letter was submitted once again by Daniel DeShaw for the westerly 318 feet of Lot 2, Block 3, Andover Station North. Please find the letter of intent attached for your review. At two previous meetings this was deferred until a decision was made related to the modifYing the standards for Andover Station North to approve funeral homes and crematoriums as allowable uses. DISCUSSION Provided the EDA has modified the list of allowed uses, this letter may be able to be addressed, if not, then the staff should be directed to return the letter of intent to Mr.DeShaw with the acknowledgement that the EDA could not act on the request because the uses were not changed. Due to the fact that Michael Casey has officially withdrawn his purchase agreement for the site that Mr. DeShaw is interested in purchasing, this request may fit into the area without much difficulty. See attached site plan sketch showing the building position on the lot. The lot line adjustment which was contemplated for Mr. Casey will work for this proposal as well. ACTION REOUESTED Provided the EDA has amended the list of allowable uses, the EDA is asked to discuss the letter of intent and determine whether there is interest in selling the land to Mr. DeShaw based on the newest proposal that he submitted (price of$394,916).

LETTER OF INTENT - REVIEW FUNERAL HOME PROPOSAL (CONTINUED) Community Development Director Neumeister stated on May 16, 2006, a letter of intent was brought to the EDA related to a funeral home and crematorium proposal. The letter was submitted by Daniel DeShaw for a portion of Lot 1, Block 2, Andover Station North. Commissioner Trude stated when she read Bruggeman's letter, it indicated they already have some issues they have to deal with in regard to this property. She thought if this issue stood alone, it may not be such a big issue but with two other issues, it may be too much for the homeowners and builders to handle. She would like to see staff work with the applicants on another site if any are available. President Gamache wondered if they want to adjust the list to let the funeral home fit somewhere else. Commissioner Trude stated she was not interested in changing the guidelines for Andover Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - June 20, 2006 Page 3 Station North. Commissioner Orttel stated he did not have a problem with this and he did not think there was anything negative and people would not even know a crematorium was there. President Gamache agreed and thought it was a perception of people. He thought the design fit in there nicely. He wondered if Great River would be willing to sell a portion of their land on Bunker Lake Boulevard for this. Commissioner Trude wondered if they would be able to get a restaurant in the area if there was a funeral home there. Mr. Nowak stated he was willing to allow this in the area until he heard there were objections from Bruggeman and he did not want to risk any deal with them. Commissioner Trude wondered if the funeral home would fit into the vacant lot by G- Will Liquor and would they be willing to rezone if necessary. Commissioner Orttel stated this is the nicest development within the entire park and he hated to run the applicant out ofthe city because of perceptions. Commissioner Trude asked why they would split the land when they have a proposal to buy the entire parcel and if they allowed this they would have an issue with sales of the townhomes. President Gamache stated he did not have a problem with this going in where proposed but he wondered if they could move it further to the east or north. . Commissioner Orttel thought staff should look into the Great River site to see if they could sell some land for this. Mr. Russ Karach stated they picked that lot because eight to ten months ago there was a bank going in and a daycare and office space going in and now that has changed. Mr. Nowak wondered how the developer would respond to the issues Bruggeman has in his letter. Mr. Russ Karach stated a low key sign would not be an issue for them. He thought a crematorium was actually an asset to the location. There would not be a lot of traffic associated with this and they are willing to do cross easements to help out traffic control and do whatever the City wants with landscaping. He thought the Great River property would be overpriced and this is the second attempt at a location. Commissioner Trude wondered if they move the funeral home further to the east, would the parcel be large enough for the medical proposal because they need a base for customers in order to get a restaurant in. Mr. Nowak thought the first site along Hanson would be a good site for the funeral home. The Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - June 20, 2006 Page 4 developer thought there might be an issue with methane gas. Commissioner Trude stated they would need to vent the foundation. Ms. Twistol did not think a crematorium was such a bad thing. Commissioner Trude stated generally they do not have funeral services in a strip mall area; they are more accepted in a residential area. President Gamache stated they have some options to look at and he thought they liked the general plan for the funeral home. "ER OF INTENT - REVIEW TOWN CENTER COMPANIES/NORTHSTAR 'RS PROPOSAL Communi evelopment Director Neumeister stated a letter of intent has been received from Town Center ompanies, LLC in conjunction with Northstar Partners (as broker) to purchase Lot 1, Block 2, dover Station North. They have indicated they would develop professional offices, including p ssibly a bank on the site. The site is the large parcel at the southwest corner of 139th and Hanson ulevard. Commissioner Trude thou t the deposit of $25,000 should be non-refundable. Commissioner Orttel stated he did not oppos the use but the deal is leaning toward the applicant's benefit. He stated what they are going to do or six months is try to sell the land and if they cannot then they are not out anything but the EDA uld have to sit idle on the property for that amount of time. Commissioner Trude wondered if they uld have the applicants come in and talk to them about this. Mr. Dickinson stated they do want to e an exclusive marketer of the property and he would check to see if they would be availabl 0 discuss this further. Commissioner Trude thought they would get quite few employees in a large building that would be helpful in getting a restaurant in the area. Mr. Dickinson discussed some of the developments Town Commissioner Orttel stated what concerns him is it looks like y will be dropping the price to sell the parcel to this developer and he did not know if it was fair would also be paying a brokerage fee. Mr. Neumeister stated they gave the developer a higher number than wha .s in the proposal. $4.75 a foot was what staff gave them for a price and they would be buildin dollar building. Mr. Nowak wondered if they should go back to them at $4.50 a square foot and a n -refundable deposit. Commissioner Trude stated they should counter offer for more per square fee nd then 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W. . ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304. (763) 755-5100 FAX (763) 755-8923 . WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US TO: EDA President and Board CC: Jim Dickinson, Executive Directo FROM: Will Neumeister, Community Development Director ~ SUBJECT: Letter of Intent - Review Day Care Proposal (Tracy Sonterre) DATE: August 15,2006 INTRODUCTION The attached "Letter ofIntent" has been submitted for approximately the south half ofthe parcel located northeast of the Bruggeman Townhomes along Jay Street (see attached site sketch). DISCUSSION Staffis of the opinion that this is a strong proposal as it provides a transition to the townhomes and will have a residential look to the building. The site drawing shows that the building would be approximately 8,000 square feet in size and would bring a welcome addition to the Andover Station North development. The owner sees the need for this type of facility in the area because of the large youth population in Andover, the nearby schools and ballfields. The site would lend itself to having a day care center with adequate parking to meet the City's day care center requirements and allow a use to occupy about half of a site that once was conceived as having all offices. The day care use would still enable about 9,000 square feet of office to be built on the remainder of the site. ACTION REQUIRED The EDA is asked to review the proposal and determine whether there is interest in selling approximately the south half of Lot 24 to Tracy Sonterre for a children's day care facility.

They are proposing a different color scheme but it will look like the one at Sunshine Park. The staff has reviewed the Andover Station North design standards and asks the EDA to determine ifthe qualities in the building (colored masonry block and painted masonry block with vinyl siding) are considered ..."compatible to the surrounding character of the area" (community playfieldlballfield use) as allowed in the standards (Section 2.03 H) - see attached, pg. 9.

Greater height may be used to accentuate entries in the form of tower elements, tall openings, or a central mass at an entry plaza. B. Reveals - Windows and doors must be recessed at least two inches from walls or exterior trim to create shadow for visual interest. c. Building Scale and Definition - The guidelines in this section are intended to create buildings with a human scale, making Andover Station North a more pedestrian- friendly and a pleasant place to walk. 1. Structural Legibility and Articulation-Facade articulation is required. Building fenestration (windows and doors) and changes in mass shall relate to structural system( s) and the organization of interior space. Vertical architectural features such as columns and piers help articulate building mass. 2. Roof Form/Rooftop Equipment-A variety of roof forms are permitted.

WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US TO: President and EDA Members CC: Jim Dickinson, Executive Director Will Neumeister, Community Development Director vd- FROM: SUBJECT: Review Proposed Signs at Andover Station DATE: August 15,2006 INTRODUCTION United Properties is asking for the EDA to review their request to update their monument sign package at Andover Station. Please refer to the attached drawings showing what they are proposing. They will be present at the meeting to provide answers to any questions the EDA may have. DISCUSSION As you may recall, special consideration was given to Walgreens and TARGET to locate two monument type signs at the Southeast comer of Quinn Street and Bunker Lake Boulevard in 2003. At that time, the monument signs for those two businesses were evaluated to determine whether they were necessary and how they should be placed as they were each competing for the same comer. The EDA granted approval for the two signs next to each other and were able to satisfy both businesses need for monument style signs (see attached, page 10). The new request from United Properties asks for two new monument signs to serve the existing tenants in the existing retail center where Festival Foods is located and also the new Northgate Liquor Store to be located south of the Walgreens. Also be aware that another monument sign for a future TCF bank will (someday) be located along Bunker Lake Boulevard in the same general area (please refer to the two attached site drawings showing locations of the signs). As was the case before, the property owner is indicating they need more signs and the EDA will need to evaluate whether the signs are acceptable in design, size and location. The question that needs to be addressed is whether it would be possible to consolidate the two signs into one larger sign (sign code allows up to 300 sq. ft.-see attached sign code, page 7), or could they be placed next to each other as TARGET and Walgreesns did? We are looking for a way that each property owner gets what they need, but doesn't result in competing signs that will clutter that section of Bunker Lake Boulevard. A single sign to suit their needs would look the best. The drawings show a sign for Festival that could be made three feet wider and two and one-half feet taller and the Northgate sign face could be one of the larger sign plates allowed. The smaller stores in the strip mall could take the smaller spaces on the sign. ACTION REOUESTED The EDA is requested to consider the request from United Properties and allow the property owners to make their case for two additional new monument signs for their properties.

A new monument sign on the comer of Quinn Street and Bunker Lake Boulevard. The monument will have two panels-one for the new Northgate Liquor space and the other for the future owner of the adjacent outlot. In addition the monument will contain a reader board. 2. A larger monument sign for Festival Foods and other tenants located in Andover Station. 3. The current Northgate Liquor sign will stay as-is. We strongly believe that increased signage is vital to the success of the businesses at Andover Station. It is our goal, in conjunction with the EDA, to provide a healthy, vibrant shopping center for the citizens of Andoyer. Attached you will find the renderings of the new signage as well as a site plan showing the proposed locations. We look forward to your review of our request. ~~ Bruce Carlson Vice President Retail Development United Properties 3500 American Blvd. W.. Minneapolis. MN 55431 . 952.831.1 000 . fax 952.893.8206 .

WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US TO: EDA President and Board CC: Jim Dickinson, Executive Director FROM: Will Neumeister, Community Development DirectorL~ SUBJECT: Update on Economic Development Activities DATE: August 15,2006 INTRODUCTION This memo is provided as a status update for all the economic development activities that the staff has been engaged in over the past month. DISCUSSION The following is the update on activities: Rudnicki Purchase Agreement - Mr. Rudnicki has closed on the purchase of the north 195 feet of Lot 5, Block 3, Andover Station North and the building permit was issued. The building is above grade and will be completed by the end of October. They will erect a temporary tent on the property to the south in early August for a week or two to promote their new business location. Casey Purchase Agreement - Mr. Casey has asked to be let out of the purchase agreement. Staff was completing the work of addressing the numerous title objections from Mr. Casey's Attorney. Also progress was being made to address specific technical items that remained to be completed (Phase I Environmental Audit and No Action Letter from MnPCA). However there was no end user that would occupy the building Mr. Casey was planning to build and he had to make a decision to suspend the agreement and cut his losses. Bruggeman Homes - City staff met with their planning and development staff on Friday, July 28th to discuss how they could move to their second phase as quickly as possible as they would like to have all the streets and utilities completed by late fall. The final plat for Parkside at Andover Station was recorded and their first eight-unit building is under construction and they expect it to be ready for the "Parade of Homes" on September 8th. The reason they want to accelerate the street and utility construction is that they will ask for a building permit for one of their one-unit townhomes before fall. They want to have that unit available for the spring 2007 Parade of Homes. Engineering is working overtime to get the street and utility plans done so that this will be possible. Funeral Home Proposal- The staff wrote a letter to Great River Energy to determine if they would be willing to sell about 2 acres ofland to the funeral home developer. The response was that they would like to retain all of their land for potential transmission line changes that may occur. However, when the transmission line changes are completed, they would consider selling a portion of the land. The developer has been informed of this and they have submitted a proposal to purchase Lot 2, Block 3. in Andover Station North (where Casey was going to build). New Office Development Proposal- Since the July 18th EDA meeting, staffhas received the signed copy of the agreement with Town Center Companies and have received the $25,000 down payment/earnest money to complete the agreement that was authorized. They are getting ready to market the property as soon as possible. They are preparing signs and marketing brochures and will have them out very soon. Other New Proposals - Staffhas not been pursuing the developer of the building materials storage as they are waiting to see what the housing market does. Two options were provided to the company for consideration and no formal proposal has surfaced. The company may be considering other possibilities in an adjacent city. Day Care Proposal- The staffhas been working to bring forward a new proposal for a childrens day care facility and this will be on the agenda on August 15 . Small Office Development - To the north of the site for the day care, staff has prepared a concept plan showing how approximately 9,000 square foot of office space could be fit into the site. This is being marketed to Bruggeman Properties and also to NBI. Hopefully someone will see this as a great opportunity. Restaurant Site - Staff will be preparing a comprehensive mailing in the near future to solicit a new restaurant to come to Andover Station. EP A Clearance of Institutional Controls - Staff continues to pressure the EP A in Chicago to remove the institutional controls placed on the Andover Station North parcels. ACTION REOUIRED This is an informational update to the EDA only, no action is needed. Respectfully subr;:...L Will Neumeister 2 qv7q(:~S. _/ 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W. . ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 .

It is no surprise that residents most like the rural feel and open spaces in Andover, along with the nice neighborhoods, schools, quiet, people and location. Andover is Safe. There are no serous crime concerns. Ninety-one percent of the survey respondents felt safe walking alone at night in their neighborhoods. Ten percent could think of no serious issues facing the City of Andover. Residents have a strong sense of community pride and it shows. The recently built Community Center and YMCA has been used by many community residents over the past year, who found it to be either excellent or good, totaling 94% of those surveyed. Total visitors to the Community Center in its first year of operations topped out at over 220,000 visitors or users. The field house and ice rink facilities host hockey, volleyball league play, open gym, open skate, indoor walking programs, basketball clinics, craft shows, home remodeling fairs. What makes this Community Center particularly attractive is the attached "Aquatics Center" complete with water slides. This is a great year-round facility for all members of the family to enjoy including a field house and ice rink. The YMCA is the operator of the "Aquatics Center" and has seen over 600,000 patron visits since they opened. It is one of the most successful YMCA's in the Twin Cities and its just one-year old. This success is due to their excellent work-out facility, in combination with the aquatics facility. On-site daycare facilities round out the experience for those with small children that need supervision while the parents are working out. This great new community asset is located right north of City Hall at Hanson and Crosstown Boulevards. High quality residential developments are continually being planned as Andover typically has approximately 200 new single-family and townhomes constructed each year. The City continues to promote new high-quality mixed-use (office/commercial) development in the "Andover Station" redevelopment area (located near Bunker Lake Boulevard and Hanson Boulevard). This area will also be home to a new set of community ball fields that will be ready for play by early 2007. Community "open space" desired. The Council has recently appointed a task force to define the characteristics of land suitable as public "open space" in preparation for a potential referendum question on this topic in the fall of2006. As growth and development occur, it is a primary concern that parks and "open space" are preserved to serve the existing and new housing developments. .S'\NDbVE~ CITY OF NDOVE GYiqin.,....-<L. ..J 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W. .

WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US TO: EDA President and Board CC: Jim Dickinson, Executive Direc r FROM: Will Neumeister, Director of Community Development~ SUBJECT: Monument Signs at Andover Station North (supplemental) DATE: August 15,2006 . INTRODUCTION The staff has begun to look at various options related to constructing Area Identification Signs in Andover Station North. The EDA needs to provide direction on this before any more work is done. This memorandum will provide general information on the sign locations and the potential sign design. DISCUSSION The discussion in the past has been that there will be two locations proposed for the Area Identification Signs, one on Bunker Lake Boulevard and one on Hanson Boulevard (see attached drawings for locations). After checking with Great River Energy we have their preliminary approval to build up to a 25 foot high sign at 139th and Hanson. The other potential sign location on Bunker will be allowed to be up to 25 feet in height also. The idea behind the need for the sign is that the sites within Andover Station North that do not have direct exposure to either of the arterial streets would need a sign. The cost of a sign of the size we are talking about is about $30,000 each. The first question that the EDA needs to answer is if there is still a desire to build the signs as we have discussed in the past. The second question is when would the EDA like to have these signs built? Lastly, does the EDA have any feelings as to what the sign should look like? There could be between seven to ten sites that may want their business names on the sign. The signs will be about 300 square feet in area and will cost approximately $60,000 to build. What are the preference~ of the EDA regarding these issues? ACTION REOUESTED The EDA is asked to provide staff direction on the construction of Area Identification Signs at Andover Station North.
