July 5, 2005: Executive Session - Correct as written. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, approval of the Minutes as written. Motion carried unanimously. ANDOVER STATION NORTH DEVELOPMENT IMPROVEMENTS UPDATE Community Development Director Neumeister stated the public improvements for Jay Street are right on schedule. Some sections are ahead of schedule such as the first two hundred feet of Jay Street that is now open to traffic. The contractor will be completing the balance of the work by late August or early September. Mr. Neumeister explained staff met with the City's consulting engineer (SEH) to begin the plans for the utility and street work to complete the needed improvements to serve the southerly twenty acres. The City Engineer, David Berkowitz, has talked with North Pine Aggregate, the prime contractor, and they are interested in doing the work under the original contract. Commissioner Orttel wondered when this was bid. Mr. Neumeister thought it was either / February or March. Commissioner Orttel wondered if they are willing to hold the bid. Mr. Berkowitz stated they are. / Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - July 19, 2005 Page 2 Commissioner Orttel wondered were the funding is coming from. Mr. Neumeister stated Mr. Dickinson bonded for this as a larger improvement than it actually was so this will be included in the bond. President Gamache arrived at 6:05 p.m. Commissioner Jacobson asked if this is a State Aid project, how they can add into the cost. Mr. Berkowitz explained how State Aid and bond funds will work. Commissioner Orttel asked when they bonded this, did it include all of the improvements. Mr. Neumeister stated it did. DISCUSS SITE PLAN LAYOUT (LOT 5, BLOCK 3, ANDOVER STATION NORTH) Community Development Director Neumeister stated at a recent meeting ofthe EDA, the site plan for the southerly 20 acres was discussed. Although there was discussion, no conclusion was reached regarding the site plan for the site known as Lot 5, Block 3. The subject property is approximately 3.5 acres in size and the site plan concept that was discussed was that the property could be made into two sites. It was suggested that Louis Rudnicki could potentially build a retail strip center that would include a dance studio and dry cleaners on the northerly portion and Bruce Knowlan and Mike Hanson could build on the southerly portion. Mr. Rudnicki has indicated he would like to get feedback from the EDA regarding whether the EDA would require that the building he is interested in building be connected to the one that is being proposed by Bruce Knowlan and Mike Hanson, or whether it could be a free standing building. Mr. Neumeister discussed the information with the Commission. Commissioner Knight asked if they have one building, does that boundary carry across so the boundaries are separate properties. Mr. Neumeister showed on the map the layout of the building. Commissioner Knight asked if this would be separate ownership. Mr. Neumeister stated they would be separately owned and they would maintain the parking lot together and would have to work this out between themselves. He stated otherwise they would have separate buildings. Mr. Neumeister explained how he came up with the different prices for the properties. Commissioner Orttel stated if they do decide on separate buildings, it would be a minimal separation. .I President Gamache stated by having trucks use the back road, it would keep them out of the front parking lot. j Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - July 19, 2005 Page 3 Commissioner Orttel wondered what the problem is with a drycleaner and if it is a drycleaner in general or the use of on site processing. Mr. Neumeister indicated it was on-site processing. President Gamache stated this would be the ideal spot for it in the City if allowed. Commissioner Jacobson stated he wanted to make sure this was the only area that it would be allowed in the City so other ones do not pop up. Commissioner Jacobson asked if they have a split building, wouldn't it make more sense economically to have one building and have one more space in the building of twenty feet. Mr. Neumeister stated this would be a decision needed to be made between the two developers. Commissioner Knight stated the parking lot is much better with one building than with two. President Gamache indicated the Commission would prefer one building to two but ifthere were two buildings, it would not stop the deal. \ Mr. Rudnicki indicated he would also prefer one building because there would be better traffic flow. / LETTERS OF INTENT (KNOWLAN/HANSON PROPOSAL) Community Development Director Neumeister stated there has been a new "Letter of Intent" received for a lot located in Andover Station North, located directly east of First Regents Bank (Lot 1, Block 3, Andover Station North). The persons submitting the letter of intent are Bruce Knowlan and Mike Hanson. They explain in their letter that they would like to develop a retail strip center that would be approximately 20,000 square feet in size, of which 10-12,000 square feet would be the new location for their Northgate Liquor Store. Commissioner Jacobson wondered iflegally they can say that no other competition would be allowed. The applicant thought because they are spending a lot of money on a building, that they do not face additional competition by vacating their spot. Mr. Dickinson did not think they could do this on former EDA land but he thought it could be done on land currently owned. Commissioner Orttel thought this should be cleaned up and worded differently to prohibit any more licenses to be issued which could be hard to do. Commissioner Jacobson thought this needed to be reviewed by the City Attorney for legality. '\ The applicants wondered if they could even have a time constraint on this. Mr. Neumeister stated they could go back and look at a radius restriction on this. He stated they will look into this and bring it back with further ideas. Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - July 19, 2005 Page 4 Commissioner Jacobson stated the City Attorney should look into ifliquor is allowed in grocery stores, what would happen. The applicant stated the deciding factor would be if they had a right-in/right-out onto Bunker. Mr. Berkowitz stated they discussed this with the County and they could only get a right-in and would not allow a right-out; they will have to use Jay Street. The applicants indicated they have large semis dropping off liquor and he did not know how they would navigate the turns to get out onto Jay Street. Commissioner Orttel wondered ifthey get another developer who would want to develop on this property, could they break this deal. Mr. Dickinson indicated this is a non-binding agreement. President Gamache stated the problem they run into is if they take away the bank's right-in and move it, they will not be too happy. DISCUSS FINDER'S FEE FOR LOT SALES (ANDOVER STATION NORTH) " Community Development Director Neumeister noted as has been discussed in the past, the City will enlist help in marketing the land in Andover Station North. Recently there has been an inquiry from a local real estate agent who is interested in helping locate a buyer for the restaurant site north of First Regents Bank. There is a need to identify what type of finder's fee the EDA is willing to offer this agent should a prospect that he brings forward actually buy the land. Also would a "finder's fee" be extended to anyone who is able to bring in a prospective buyer that purchases land in Andover Station North. Commissioner Jacobson asked how many parcels they have left where they are not under negotiations. Mr. Neumeister showed the parcels on the map that are left in Andover Station North for development. Commissioner Knight indicated he would be willing to offer five percent. Commissioner Orttel thought they could be flexible on the percentage offered for the different parcels. Mr. Dickinson thought it would be better for one level fee throughout. Mr. Neumeister indicated the finder's fee would not extend to the property that is in negotiations with Mr. Rudnicki. The Commission concurred. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to allow a finder's fee of five percent on parcels other than the restaurant site and on the restaurant site for a good quality restaurant they would offer up " to ten percent. Motion carried unanimously. OTHER BUSINESS '. / / ) Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - July 19, 2005 Page 5 Commissioner Orttel wondered if it would be reasonable for the EDA to look at properties they do not own and offer design ideas for them. Mr. Dickinson stated they could do this but only for their development district. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 6:50 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Susan Osbeck, Recording Secretary . / DRAFT ANDOVER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING JUNE 28, 2005 - MINUTES A Meeting ofthe Andover Economic Development Authority was called to order by President Mike Gamache, June 28, 2005, 6:31 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, Conference Rooms A and B, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota.

He noted a developer is looking at office condominiums on the Kim Tramm parcel. He added there is a deadline of July 11, 2005. He stated it would be a competing proposal otherwise the City was going with the Tramm proposal. He noted the Tramm timeframe was pushed out. He anticipated a better product and timeframe. He stated they would be working with Bruggeman Homes. He noted Bruggeman Homes felt it could blend with the townhome development. They are working through the proforma information now. Executive Director Dickinson stated the EDA would now go into Executive Session. He noted they are accepting appraisals for Lot I Block I and Block II Andover Station North. He added they would be discussing land sales for Lots 1-5 Block 3, and Lot 6 Block 1 Andover Station North. He stated the reason for the closed session is to discuss these appraisals and land sales. Attached to the staff report is the appropriate statutory authority. He added the recent legislation contained a new process that allows an EDA to have a more level playing field.

The Council approved the change order for the existing Jay Street contract at the August 16,2005 to construct the public utilities and streets to serve the southern 20 acres. The final phases of public street/utility construction are underway and expect to be done by the end of Septernber. \ DISCUSSION The developers interested in building a retail center on the parcel east of the bank have withdrawn their letter of intent to purchase the site based on lack of a right out onto Bunker Lake Boulevard. You will recall, they had a contingency regarding this and they will not purchase the property because of that. Staff will keep the EDA informed as to any further discussions with another developer that has shown sorne interest in pursuing the site for a retail center. Louis Rudnicki is still showing interest in pursuing the developrnent of approxirnately 7,500 square feet of dance studio and dry cleaners on the north end of the commercial lot. Sorne of the recent inquiries that we have had regarding the land for sale in Andover Station North include: . Mini-storage . Office/Showroorn . Bi-lingual Preschool . Building Materials Supply Cornpany . Hotel . Physical Therapy Office . Insurance Cornpany Office . Cabinet Manufacturing Facility (30,000 square feet) ACTION REOUESTED None is needed, as this is an informational update on recent construction, and rnarketing/prornotional efforts.

Irn Ie mson, xecutlve Irector r~ Will Neumeister, Director of Comrnu~eveloprnent {I,/~ TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Letters ofIntent/Purchase Agreements Review DATE: Septernber 6, 2005 INTRODUCTION The EDA is asked to review the attached letters of intent frorn Bruggeman Properties, One of the letters indicates they would like to purchase property in Andover Station North for an office condorninium development. Another letter of intent frorn Bruggernan Properties indicates they would like to purchase the westerly portion of Lot 6, Block I for an expansion of their previously approved townhorne project. DISCUSSION Office Condominiurn Proposals-The letters of intent are slightly different in regard to the offering price and also the type of office condorniniurn buildings that would be built. This report will sumrnarize each developer's proposal. 'Bruggernan Proposal- They have proposed to purchase the land at $3.00 per square foot (with an additional 10% of that /land value being paid as a park dedication fee), They proposed to take down a portion of the property in the spring of 2006 to enable thern to start construction of an office condorniniurn building. They have asked that the balance of the land purchase be financed at 6% over a two-year period, with land take downs as completed buildings are sold and new ones need to be started. Their proposal would result in a land sale price of $275,400. Howard Proposal - At the time of the writing of this report only verbal cornrnitment of a letter of intent had been received. The actual letter of intent is expected to be provided by Tuesday's EDA rneeting. They have indicated that they propose to purchase the land at $3.65 per square foot and they also would pay 10% park dedication fee. They have proposed to take down the entire parcel at one time in the spring of 2006. They would build srnaller office condominium buildings that would be sold to the end user. The letter of intent and architectural drawings will be provided at the EDA meeting. Their proposal would result in a land sale price of$335,070, or $59,670 rnore than Bruggeman's proposal. Bruggeman's Townhome Developrnent Proposal--The westerly portion of Lot 6 that Bruggeman Properties would like to purchase is rnore conducive to a residential developrnent than office condorniniurns, It rnakes a great deal of sense to expand the townhorne developrnent into this area. Bruggeman has provided two alternative site plan drawings that show how they would develop an additional townhornes on the land. Their proposal to develop townhornes on the westerly portion of Lot 6 is recommended by staff, as this is the rnost desirable use of the land for the westerly portion of Lot 6. The staffrecornmends that site plan labeled as "Option B" be implemented. It ultirnateIy results in 12 added townhomes being developed on the property being sold to Bruggeman Properties, and additional revenue of $168,000. ACTION REQUESTED EDA review the letters of intent/determine if there is interest in preparing purchase agreements for any of the proposals. ,Respectfully submitted, I / Will Neumeister f.A/~ Attachments Letters of Intent & Plat Map of "Andover Station North" / ~ ~fu~&BRUGGEMAN PROPERTIES ~ Building Communities Since 1959 /,,- . ..--- - n ~- - --I? ---------..-----~ =_~-- Off Ice \J1,ypo r'f(aPaJAL- "-- / September 1, 2005 Mr. Will Neumeister Andover Economic Development Authority 1685 Crosstown Blvd. N.W.

WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US TO: EDA President and Board CC: Jim Dickinson, Executive Director Will Neumeister, Director of Community Development t-fJefr.-- FROM: SUPPLEMENTAL: Other Business - Letter of Inquiry from Doris Griep DATE: September 6, 2005 INTRODUCTION The EDA is asked to consider the request of Ms. Doris C. Griep outlined in the attached letter, regarding land she is interested in purchasing in Andover Station North to build a bilingual preschool. DISCUSSION / Staff has indicated to Ms. Griep that the EDA does not typically sell off small parcels like she is interested in. She has been advised that a block of land is typically sold to land developers that are capable of developing a cohesive plan for either a retail center or an office condominium complex. Her proposal would best fit into a larger building or group of buildings, rather than a separate building of (2,000 - 3,000 square feet) that may look out of place because it doesn't have the same look as the other buildings. Although she has indicated that she will build it to look similar to whatever is built in the area. Staff has contacted Mr. Louis Rudnicki and indicated that he should contact Ms. Griep and see if she is interested in locating in the building that is investigating for the land in Andover Station North where he would.locate a dance studio and a dry cleaners. He has expressed some interest in getting together to discuss that possibility. ACTION REOUESTED Staff requests the EDA review the letter from Ms. Griep and advise staff as to the direction they would like to proceed regarding Ms. Griep's proposal. Respectfully submitted, Will Neumeister. ,j ~r-- Attachment Letter from Ms. Doris C. Griep Minnesota August, 22nd, 2005 To Whom it May Concern: Last Friday I had the pleasure to meet and talk to the Director of Development, Mr. Will Neumeister, who with a lot of patience and professionalism explained to me about such a great project you guys are developing on Hanson Blvd. by the electric towers. The reason I am writing this letter is to share with you this dream I have and I want to make it come true. I am a Kindergarten Teacher with a Master's in Speech Pathologist and a Teacher for the Deaf. In the year 1983, I opened my own preschool in a new but poor development in Lima-Peru, my home country. I successfully ran that school which in the peak of its demand, had 150 little students running, smiling, and which is the best growing in knowledge and values in a very loving environment. I had that school for almost fifteen years until I moved here to Minnesota in the year 1996 where I live now with my two boys, here in Andover. I have been working for the last nine years as a full time Spanish Teacher in Meadow Creek Christian School and also working for Anoka Ramsey Community College with children during its Summer Program and with adults at night the rest of the year. . / My dream is to have my own BILINGUAL PRESCHOOL here in Andover, close to my home so I can dedicate most possible time. I already contacted the Preschool licensing office and received all the requirements and I am looking for a place so bad, but it is being hard to find something. Last week when I saw the signs on Hanson Blvd. and talked to Mr. Neumeister I had the feeling that my dream can come true if you guys help me to establish my preschool in that area. My project is fantastic. My curriculum is very outstanding. My experience with children is rich. My service spirit is abundant and to be - . honest with you my gre<~.t knowledge and background as a teacher educated in Peru is very vast. What I mean is that I have so much to give and I want to give it to children in this . blessed nation that hosted me and my sons with wide open arms. I feel that I owe the USA so much. I would ask ou to sell me a iece of land where ou are lannin to have a ~ commercial area without me having to go uah the developer. I will work with them in1he . -TI-\ Roc;t;H construction part so everything looks uniform. What I would need is 2000 to 3000 square feet. I have some money I can work with and I am ready to take the risk because I have faith this will work out. This will be actually the first bilingual preschool in the county and ray project includes also the use of the facilities at night to serve seniors in the community by giving Spanish lessons and activities at a very low tuition, just to serve them and make their last years useful and happy. My preschool already has a name. If you go back a few years ago and picture yourself in your childhood how would you have felt saying I attend "EL GA TO CON " , / -2- . \ J / . / BOTAS" (Puss in boots). Actually that was the name of my preschool in Peru and this will be the name of my preschool here too. Please, take my request or petition under consi6eration; this is the nation of the drearils for minorities. When I came to this country with basically nothing 1 didn't know I was going to accomplish this much by myself with two children, but thank God I did. I love the place I work but I feel 1 need to do more for this great nation. 1 want to help parents educating their children because they are the future of the nation as well as give my time helping the elder to be happy and feel loved during their last days. I have professional people with same background and same work spirit that will work with me. Please do not deny me your help. My only objective is to contribute to this awesome country. 1 promise you will be prol:ld of my "BILINGUAL PReSCHOOL El GATO CON BOTAS" in your community and 1 will be so willing to follow your rules and building requirements to match and make a nice educational-business area. Thank you so much for the time to read this letter and please give me a time to meet with you and hear me so you can know me and know my project better. God bless you all and congratulations for such an ambitious project. Respectfully, Doris C.
