RE: Andover Economic Development Authority
Dear Edward,
The Andover Economic Development Authority (AEDA) would like to thank you for your past
service and interest in the activities and goals of the Authority as an Advisor. Over the past few
years the success of the Andover Station area has certainly shown that AEDA is committed to
providing for quality commercial and industrial development to ensure a strong, viable and
diversified tax base.
The Authority at its most recent meeting has elected to proceed forward without having a
Resident Advisor for the EDA and has direct staff to discontinue the delivery of agenda packets.
If you would like to receive agenda notification beyond what is currently supplied in the Anoka
County Union and on the City of Andover's web site www.ci.andover.mn.us do not hesitate in
contacting me at 763-767-5110.
Again thank you for your past service and interest in the activities and goals of the AEDA.

CONSIDER NEW LETTER OF INTENT (FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LOT)
The EDA is asked to review the attached "Letter of Intent" from Dynamic Sealing Technologies,
Inc. indicating they would like to buy one of the light industrial parcels located in Andover
Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting
Minutes - January 2, 2007
Page 2
1 Station North.
2
3 Commissioner Knight wondered what the product is. Mr. Newneister indicated it is a machine
4 shop business. Ken & Jeff Meister, applicants, explained what their business is. They noted
5 they currently have a building in Ham Lake but have outgrown it.
6
7 Commissioner Trude understood the business has grown and done well and she wondered if in
8 the future they would want to be in a space where they could expand. Mr. Meister stated they are
9 looking five years in the future at this time. Oil and gas is a big factor for the applicant right now
10 and drives part of their business at this time.
11
12 Commissioner Trude thought they were looking at large truck delivery and she wondered if the
13 access would work for them. Mr. Meister stated they will be getting large truck deliveries into
14 the business and will use UPS to remove the product from the business.
15
16 Commissioner Jacobson asked if the road is covered in the cost of the land. Mr. Dickinson stated
17 it is factored into the price of the land.
18
19 Commissioner Jacobson noted the EDA cannot control preliminary plat approval, that is the
20 responsibility of the City Council.
21
22 Commissioner Jacobson thought the down payment of $5,000 should be made non-refundable in
23 case the applicant decides to back out of the project. Commissioner Orttel thought this is a moot
24 point because he did not think this would be an issue. Mr. Dickinson thought they could tighten
25 the due diligence a little bit.
26
27 Commissioner Jacobson stated they could make it refundable for six months and after six months
28 make it non-refundable. The applicant agreed with this.
29
30 Commissioner Orttel wondered if it is typical to drop the utilities at the edge of the property. Mr.
31 Newneister stated the funeral home has agreed to build the street and run the utilities across the
32 easement to the north property line.
33
34 Mr. Newneister stated the funeral home would need to bring in a pipe at least half the way onto
35 the lot and the City would cover the rest to extend the pipe to the other lot. The funeral home
36 would pay half the costs.
37
38 Mr. Berkowitz stated they would look at building a nine ton road to access the property.
39 Commissioner Trude thought they had an agreement with the funeral home to upgrade the access
40 road. Mr. Berkowitz stated the funeral home would pay for the access road and the City would
41 pay for the upgraded road.
42
43 Mr. Newneister stated the applicants want the option oflooking at precast material for the
44 construction of the building but the City would want some type of color variations and accents.
Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting
Minutes - January 2, 2007
Page 3
1 Commissioner Knight stated if they agree to precast, what will happen if someone else asks for
2 this type of material. Commissioner Jacobson stated he would be willing to look at precast tip
3 ups. Commissioner Knight stated if they allow this, they have to prepare themselves for
4 everyone else asking for their own standards. Commissioner Trude thought the retail standards
5 are different than light industrial standards.
6
7 Commissioner Orttel stated the appli~ant would still need to meet the City's architectural design.
8 Mr. Dickinson indicated this is correct.
9
10 President Gamache wondered if there will be a cross access agreement between the properties.
11 He wondered if the parking areas will meet. Mr. Neumeister thought they would want to put into
12 the agreements some sort of cross access agreement between the properties. He indicated the
13 funeral home has indicated they do not want to give up thirty feet for a cross access.
14
15 The Commission thought they should make an outside loop road to the east of the properties for
16 the remaining lots. Commissioner Trude thought they should have a cross easement agreement
17 for worker access.
18
19 MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to direct the City Attorney to prepare a purchase
20 agreement and send to the buyer for a signature with the changes discussed.
21
22 Commissioner Trude wanted the applicant to work with staff regarding the large truck access and
23 worker access.
24
25 Mr. Nowak asked since this is light industrial, are there any excessive noises or odors. The
26 applicant indicated there are not any.
27
28 Motion carried unanimously.
29
30
31 TIF CASH FLOW PRESENTATION
32
33 During the discussion of the 2007 EDA Budget, the EDA expressed an interest in wanting to
34 review the tax increment district cash flows for district 1-1 and 1-2. These are the districts that
35 are facilitating the development in the Andover Station area.
36
37 President Gamache thought this gave them the option to help out a business where needed, like a
38 restaurant in the area. Mr. Dickinson stated they do have a business subsidy policy in place.
39
40 Commissioner Trude thought they should get sidewalks in so they have as many connections as
41 possible on this site. She stated Hanson Boulevard is a busy street and should have a trail or
42 sidewalk on both sides of the street as far as they can. Mr. Dickinson indicated this would be
43 County Right-Of-Way along Hanson by the substation.
44
Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting
Minutes - January 2, 2007
Page 4
1 Mr. Nowak thought in 2007 the EDA has to do something about the center dividing lane on
2 Bunker between Andover Station North and South. He thought it looks terrible and it should be
3 upgraded to look nice. Mr. Dickinson stated they discussed this with the two associations and
4 they do not want to contribute any costs to fix this. Mr. Berkowitz stated they need to go to the
5 County Highway Department and to the associations to see if they want to contribute annually to
6 maintenance and then the City would keep it up.

9 UPDATE ON EDA ACTIVITIES
10
11 Community Development Director Neumeister updated the Commission on EDA activities.
12
13 Potential Redevelopment Project - Mr. Neumeister stated they have talked to Chuck Peterson of
14 Kottke's Bus Service to discuss the options that they have if the Council does not want the rolloff
15 dumpster business. He stated they discussed looking at a land swap with Eddie's Auto Body.
16 This would take away the blight of the area because the EDA could not afford to buy Eddie's
17 outright and remove the business all together.
18
19 President Gamache stated with Eddie's Auto Body, they do not have the early start time which is
20 what they were concerned with the rolloffs but he was concerned with having it next to
21 residential because of potential junk cars sitting on the premises.
22
23 The Commission thought if the two businesses are willing to work together, they would look at
24 this further.

SUBJECT: Letter of Intent / Due Diligence Progress Review (Northstar Partners)
DATE:
January 16,2007
INTRODUCTION
The terms of the purchase agreement indicate that Town Center Companies would have a 6 month due
diligence period to determine whether they could fmd enough interest in building a combination of
office/bank space on Lot 1, Block 2, Andover Station North. The site is the large parcel at the southwest
corner of 139th and Hanson Boulevard (see map). As the EDA may recall, Town Center Companies, LLC
represented that they would work in conjunction with Northstar Partners (as broker) to purchase Lot 1,
Block 2, Andover Station North and have a $25,000 refundable down payment that would become non-
refundable at the end of the six months or they could opt to retract their letter of intent.
DISCUSSION
The staff is expecting to see a letter asking to refund the down payment and suspend the purchase
agreement by January 18,2007. The broker had done a great deal of marketing to fmd very little interest
in doing what had been proposed (see attached e-mail from Northstar Partners - Rob Youngquist).
ACTION REOUESTED
The EDA is asked to review the information and if the letter is received on or before January 19th, toaccept
their refund request, authorize the City's fmance department to refund the $25,000. Secondly, the EDA
should discuss the next course of action to pursue for the parcel. Staff will present some options at the
meeting.

Will,
Here are the things I've done so far in terms of marketing the project in Andover:
· Created flier and e-brochure (attached and link below)
. Sent fliers to 455 businesses (list attached)
. Created and placed a sign on property
· Listed the property on mncar (minnesota commercial association of realtors)
· Every other day follow up with banks to anchor building (First Western Bank, Klein Bank,
Bank of the West, Premier Bank, Security State Bank, State Bank, Unity Bank Central,
1st Regents Bank, Anchor Bank, Bremer Bank, Citizens Bank, Community Bank, First
National Bank, TCF, US Bank, & Wells Fargo)
I've gotten some interest from two of them, but have had no luck with the other ones.
I'm in the process of making follow up calls to the businesses on the mail list
http://www.northstarpartners.neUbrochures!Andover!Andover.htm
So, that is what has been going on for Andover Professional. So far I've received one call off the
sign.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks,

SUBJECT: Update on Economic Development Activities
DATE:
January 16,2007
INTRODUCTION
This memo is provided as a status update for all economic development activities related to
Andover Station North that the staff have recently been engaged in.
DISCUSSION
The following is the update on activities:
Rudnick's Retail Building - Mr. Rudnicki's dance studio has opened and they are expecting
to fill a second bay with a tenant very soon.
Bruggeman Homes - They are getting two of the single unit townhomes ready for the spring
"Parade of Homes".
Funeral Home Proposal- They are preparing a commercial site plan. The closing date is
set for February 19,2007. .
Day Care Proposal- Once again, the purchase agreement was prepared and mailed .out to
Tracy Sonterre for signature. Still nothing heard from her. The closing date is set for March
19, 2007. If nothing is heard from her she stands to lose her $5,000 down payment.
NBI Office Development - They are preparing site plan drawings and continue to market the
office/retail space that they would like to build. They are looking at modifying the site plan
to be able to take advantage of views of the wetland to the west.
Town Center Companies -'- This is covered with a separate report to the EDA.
MVP Baseball (John Larkin) - John Larkin recently contacted staff and indicated that he
will now begin to pursue putting together a proposal for a building that may be slightly
smaller than the 52,000 square foot structure they had previously indicated they wanted to
build in the spring of2007.
Attracting a Restaurant-
1. Staffhas met with the experts at Parasole Restaurant Corporation and Idein LLC to
discuss what services they offer to do site analysis on the available sites in Andover
Station North. Our goal is to have some idea from them as to what restaurant operators
would think about the success potential of the sites available in Andover Station North.
2. After all the work of sending a mailing to 1,200 commercial real estate brokers, there is
nothing to report. For about a month (November) it looked like three developers might
show some interest in building a restaurant on the site closest to Bunker Lake Boulevard.
The search for a restaurant continues to be elusive. Staff feels that we may just have to
be patient and hope that there are more daytime jobs brought into the area and then it may
be easier to get a restaurant interested.
3. QCTV was interested in getting some film on newsworthy items and staff prepared a
short clip about the restaurants Andover currently has and the availability of land in
Andover Station North for someone to locate a new restaurant. Hopefully someone is
interested in the QCTV viewing area.
Potential Redevelopment Project - Since the last EDA meeting, staffhas learned from the
real estate brokers that Eddies Auto Body will consider nothing less than a $1.4 million to be
bought out. Based on the square footage that he owns, that would be slightly over $14 per
square foot.
ACTION REOUESTED
This is an informational update to the EDA only, no action is needed.
Respectfully submitted,
Will Neumeister wL
