OTHER BUSINESS
Update on Anoka Auto property - Mr. Carlberg stated the cars are being crushed and are leaving the
site, though he wasn't sure the process will be completed by October.
Negotiations with Great River Energy - Mr. Carlberg stated he just received the information on the
costs for moving the substation and acquiring the house and property on the northwest corner of : )
Bunker Lake and Hanson Boulevards. It involves quite a bit of money, and he will bring that
information back to the EDA at the next meeting. Mr. Fursman suggested the way to develop that
property would be to structure the increment of a prospective development with the payments to
purchase the property. Mr. Dickinson stated the increment from the sale made this evening at the
Andover Commercial Park has not been included in the financial calculations. He anticipated that
business will generate $17,000 to $18,000 a year in additional increment.
Progress in developing Andover Station - Mr. Carlberg stated the marketing information is being
gathered, and Mr. Malrooney has been in contact with banks and grocery stories. Apparently the
interest is high. Restaurants have said the residential and business component is not sufficient in the
area to support them. He anticipated an update at the next EDA meeting.
Redevelopment of Crosstown/Bunker Lake Boulevard area - Mr. Carlberg stated he met with the
representatives of Leonard Parker and Associates to talk about the road access from the proposed
development onto Crosstown Boulevard. They have found there is a DNR protected wetland on the
east side of Crosstown Boulevard, so they will be meeting with the DNR and the watershed district
to see if there is a potential crossing of that wetland. It makes it even more critical that the
architectural designs of the Harris property on the west side of that development be reviewed by
Leonard Parker and Associates. Another issue with the Harris proposal is the density, as the
discussion has been to have lower density where it abuts the existing residential area. The Harris
proposal is 8 units on one acre, which is quite high density. He will provide an update of the issue
at the EDA's next meeting / '\
Ribbon cutting ceremony for Andover Station - Mr. Fursman didn't know when the appropriate time
would be for a ribbon cutting ceremony, but it is being discussed. Councilmember Orttel suggested
the EDA resident members be invited. Mr. Carlberg noted there may be an ability to coordinate the
.
.

Minutes - August 15, 2000

(Other Business, Continued)
ribbon cutting with the opening ceremony of the banquet hall and office warehouses that are being
developed. Staff is continuing to work on the item.
Andover Business Association - Because more and more businesses are opening in town, Mr.
Fursman suggested asking the City Councilor EDA about developing an Andover Business
Association. It wouldn't function as a Chamber, but it gives the community a chance to talk to the
businesses and provide a forum for them. It is also nice to recognize the businesses in the community
once a year. The EDA generally felt it was a good suggestion and that Mr. Fursman should pursue
it further.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, to adjourn. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, 3-Absent (Knight,
Hupp, Nowak) vote.
The meeting adjourned at 6:48 p.m.

We are receiving serious interest from the banking community for initiation of a
development project in the spring of 2001. Contact has been made with 65
financial institutions.
Marketing Brochure
The marketing brochure is being drafted and pricing is being obtained from local
printing firms. Final bids on the printing will be received shortly.
Prospects
The 116 Partnership has prepared a preliminary site plan and is proposing to
develop a new banking facility at the intersection of Bunker Lake Blvd. and Quinn
Street. As proposed the project would require 1.7 acres for a 7,000 SF banking
facility. The building would be a single story design. Pricing of the property was
not discussed. An overall pricing strategy for the entire development is in the
process of being prepared for review by staff.
Design Guidelines
We are continuing to work with staff to refine and fine-tune the development and
design guidelines. Exterior material selection is in process and will be reviewed
with the EDA.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me directly at (763) 780-7900.

Re: Building Site, Andover Station.
Dear Mike:
An assessment of our building design has determined that a parcel of + or - 2.5 acres is required
to construct the proposed facility and also allow for future expansion. Initial plans are for a 7000
SF building with consideration for a 3000 SF addition. At present our architect is preparing the
site plan and elevations for approval.
The parcel we have identified to meet all of our requirements is located at the southwest corner
of Bunker Lake Drive and the proposed Quinn Street. We propose to purchase the parcel at fair
market value and wish to proceed with all necessary steps immediately to secure the site.
Upon receipt of this letter please advise me of the price and the requirements to proceed with the
purchase of the property. Also it would be helpful to know the status of road construction and
signals at this intersection.
Sincerely,

Land Costs (including bldg) $162,000 to $486,000
Grand Total (Range) $1,402,000.00 to $1,726,000.00

The area of proposed land sale is highlighted on the enclosed diagram. We would
agree to sell two blocks of land. One block measuring 360' x 250' is the area where the
Connexus Sub is located, the other block measuring 300' x 240' includes the existing
home and surrounding land. We would need to have the land appraised, but for the
sake of this estimate, I have used a land value range from 1.00 to 3.00.
) Please keep in mind that the estimates provided are rough estimates. If the City would
like to pursue the matter for further, Connexus and GRE will prepare a detailed estimate
based upon engineering studies and a Certified Land Appraisal. We would ask to be
compensated costs associated with the engineering studies and land appraisal.
Please contact me at your convenience if you would like Connexus and GRE to pursue
the matter further.

Dear Mr. Carlberg,
Thank you for your call of Wednesday, and your interest in helping us locate a site for a
new campus for Good Samaritan.
As I believe I mentioned, we are currently investigating possibilities for locating on the
site of the former Target store on Coon Rapids Boulevard in Coon Rapids. There seem to
be issues with our acquiring that site on a timely basis, however, and we continue to be
interested in exploring any other viable options.
We are looking for a site of 12-15 acres, to create not just a nursing home but a campus
setting that would provide a continuum of living arrangements and services to seniors in
our area. All the demographic data indicates that Anoka County'has a significant need
for this, now and in the future.
I am enclosing some materials which you may find of interest regarding both our Center
and The Good Samaritan Society. I look forward to further discussing our situation with
you.
