CONSIDER 30-DAY EXTENSION/ANOKA AUTO SALVAGE
Ü Mr. Carlberg stated Staff is working toward the sale of approximately two acres of the Anoka Auto
Salvage site to the 116, LLC group for a community bank as verbally agreed to by the EDA at the
last meeting. Anoka Auto Salvage may be willing to release the two acres now with the granting of
an extension on sale. on the remaining yard. Midwest Landscaping is working with 116, LLC to
make sure the site plan will fit on the northeast corner of Jay Street and Bunker Lake Boulevard.
With an extension on the main portion of the property, he suggested legal counsel work to acquire
the two acres. The banking institution is very anxious to keep moving forward. It may be
appropriate to have Staff, with the assistance of Mr. Malrooney, negotiate a price for the two acres
versus going through the appraisal process. Staff would bring the negotiated price to the EDA for
their approval.
Mr. Carlberg went on that the bank would have a private driveway over the dedicated right of way "
for Jay Street, which will be eliminated when Jay Street is constructed to the north. The bank is
proposed to be a stand-alone building. The intent would be to integrate the architecture and design
to be consistent with Andover Station. Consideration to joining an association for the development
in that area can be considered.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Howard, to approve the request from Anoka Auto Salvage for a
30-day extension on the closing, closing date to be moved to November 30,2000. The extension
would be subject to· the granting of the right to the City to break off approximately two acres for
0 future owners going in there; the survey and break off of two plus acres would be prior to the
November 30 closing date. Motion carried on a 6- Yes, I-Absent (Orttel) vote.
