WWW,CLANDOVER,MN,US TO: EDA President and Board Cc: Jim Dickinson, Executive Director Will Neumeister, Director of Community Development uJ1.- FROM: SUBJECT: Consider New Letter of Intent (for Light Industrial Lot) DATE: January 2, 2007 INTRODUCTION 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 Station North. The site that they are considering for their new business location is the east Yz of Lot 1, Block 3, Andover Station North. This is the lot directly east of the funeral home site. They would like to build a 24,000 square foot "precast tip-up panel" light industrial building for their machine shop business. The EDA has previously discussed modifying the Andover Station North Design Guidelines to allow this type of construction. A change in the guidelines would be needed to give them the option of choosing break off type block or precast tip-up panel construction materials. Staff supports the change provided it is clear that there will need to be embellishments in the form of brick or colored break-off type block facings on the front face of the building to be considered acceptable. Dynamic Sealing Technologies is currently located in Ham Lake and have outgrown their facility that was built only two years ago. They currently have 21 employees and all the jobs are at a livable wage. This type of use (machine shop) has previously been authorized by the EDA for acceptance into the area known as Andover Station North. They would not have outdoor storage except for a dumpster enclosure and also a metal recycling bin. They have considered the other light industrial sites at Andover Station North, and primarily based on direction from staff, they have chosen to make an offer on the parcel east of the funeral home site. DISCUSSION The attached "Letter of Intent" proposes a price that would average $3.41 per square foot for the land (including the park dedication fee). The park dedication fee is shown as being 10% of the purchase price. Considering that this parcel does not have prime street frontage on the public streets, the City Staff believes that this is an acceptable offering price for the parcel they would like to purchase. They anticipate that they will break ground in early spring 2007. o o o If the EDA agrees with the use and type of building construction, they need to authorize the City Attorney to prepare a purchase agreement containing the particulars. To make the site ready for their proposed building there are going to be some expenses to the EDA associated with providing thicker paving across the funeral home driveway; and also to bring city sewer, water and storm water utilities to the site. Because the site is located where it is, there are no utilities inunediately available and the access driveway will have to be built heavier across the funeral home parcel and built to withstand fully loaded semi-truck weight. Therefore the City will need to assure the buyer that these will be brought to their site at no cost, or they would opt for the corner lot on the public street (Lot 2, Block 3). Staff believes this particular site is more conducive to this type of use compared to the other lot and believes the EDA should accept the offer and deal points that they have made. ACTION REOUESTED The EDA is asked to review the "Letter of Intent" from Dynamic Sealing Technologies, Inc. and if the price is acceptable, direct the City Attorney to prepare a purchase agreement and send to the buyer for signature. Secondly, the EDA should discuss and determine if there is agreement on the use of "precast tip-up concrete" as an allowable material for the Andover Station North Design Guidelines. If so, then the motion should be made to modify the Andover Station North Design Guidelines to be modified to allow the use of that material.

WWW.CI.ANDOVER.MN.US TO: EDA President and Board CC: Jim Dickinson, Executive Directo FROM: Will Neumeister, Community Development Director ev:t- SUBJECT: Update on Economic Development Activities DATE: January 2, 2007 INTRODUCTION This memo is provided as a status update for all the economic development activities related.to Andover Station North that the City staffhave recently been engaged in. DISCUSSION The following is the update on activities: Rudnick's Retail Building - Mr. Rudnicki's tenant space for his wife's dance studio has obtained a Certificate of Occupancy. He is planning a grand opening soon. Bruggeman Homes - They have two of the single unit townhomes going up. They want to be ready for the spring "Parade of Homes" with a rambler and also a two-story model They have now closed on two of the attached townhomes. The Attorney General's Office fmally had all the paperwork ready to allow the release of the institutional controls and the closing on the property with Bruggeman finally happened (for the Povlitzki land exchange parcel) on December 15ili. Funeral Home Proposal - They are preparing a commercial site plan. The lot split drawings (wi boundary and topographic survey) have been forwarded to the client. The lot split was approved by City Council on November 21 st. The closing date is February 19,2007. Day Care Proposal- Once again, the purchase agreement was prepared and mailed out to Tracy Sonterre for signature. There is still nothing in response. The closing date is set for March 19, 2007. Ifnothing 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 space that they would like to build. Town Center Companies - Due Diligence Progress Review - The marketing staff at Northstar Partners have indicated that they are working with two potential banks and have been calling the Q brokers to see if they can get some interest going in an office building. They have until January 19, 2007 to market the property. If nothing is done by then to indicate they will take down the property then the EDA will have to go on to the next idea on what to do with the property. The primary goal should be to at least get a bank to locate there. Since there is more interest in light industrial, the EDA should potentially consider the balance of the site for more light industrial development. If that is something the EDA would support, please indicate to staff that is something that should be pursued. MVP Baseball (John Larkin) -- Nothing new to report. They are still looking at building approximately a 52,000 square foot structure in the spring of 2007 and are doing their homework. EPA Clearance of Institutional Controls - The work was done prior to the closing on the Povlitzki exchange parcel. This took 14 months to complete and is now officially done. Attracting a Restaurant - There is nothing new to report. Nothing has materialized from the three developers that showed some interest in building a restaurant on the site closest to Bunker Lake Boulevard. The search for a restaurant continues to be elusive. Does the EDA have any new ideas to market the site? 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. Attracting other Light Industrial - The staff has been in contact with three different industrial prospects that are interested building on the light industrial lots located north of Louis Rudnicki's retail center. As more details become available they will be shared One of the prospects is a machine shop that currently is located in Ham Lake that needs more space. As you will recall, last year the EDA discussed this potential use, and the consensus was that it would be acceptable as a light industrial use in Andover Station North. o Potential Redevelopment Project - At the last Council meeting, a request from Nitti's Rolloff Service was not viewed favorably as a site to be used for two new businesses with outdoor storage (dumpster storage, and concrete saw cutting business). Within a couple of days after that meeting, Chuck Peterson, one of the owners of Kottke's Bus Service, came to City Hall to discuss the options that they have if the Council doesn't want the rolloff dumpster business. Staff met with him to explain that this may be a perfect opportunity to work with Eddie's Autobody to move them to the site at the comer of Jay Street and Station Parkway and share the site with the concrete saw cutting business. There was some interest shOwn by Mr. Peterson to investigate what could be done to facilitate the relocation and staff indicated the EDA would first need to provide staff direction to pursue anything further than just talking conceptually about the potential redevelopment of the southeast corner of Jay and Bunker where Eddie is currently operating. The staff is asking for direction from the EDA as to whether there is any interest in developing a plan of how the area might be redeveloped; how that might be accomplished; what costs may be entailed; and whether to even begin discussions with Eddie regarding this possibility. ACTION REOUIRED This is an informational update to the EDA only, no action is needed. Respectfully submitted, d- Will Neumeister o 2
