SUBJECT: Purchase Agreement Progress Report - John Larkin - MVP Sports Academies
DATE:
May I, 2007
INTRODUCTION.
At the March 20th meeting the EDA authorized staff to negotiate a purchase agreement with John
Larkin (MVP Sports Academies) based on the "Letter of Intent" presented and discussed at the March
20th meeting.
This purchase agreement is to purchase the lot directly east of the ball fields and build a tip up panel
structure to be home of the MVP Sports Academies as well as some lease space for other sports
training programs.
Attached to this staff report is the signed purchase agreement consistent with the direction at the March
20th meeting. Also attached is an updated site plan for the EDA to review and comment on.
DISCUSSION
The site plan shows that MVP would build a 52,800 square foot of building along with an outdoor
practice hitting area. The updated site plan does avoid the 200 foot setback from the WDE landfill and
has been submitted to the MPCA for review and comment; please refer to the attached email
communication from the MPCA that indicates they are comfortable with the site plan. The site plan
may need to be slightly adjusted and that can be dealt with during the site plan review process.
Also, please recall that the building will need to be constructed to have special monitoring and venting
systems to meet the MnPCA's requirements as it is within 500 feet ofthe WDE landfilL
ACTION REOUESTED
The EDA is requested to review and comment on the attached site plan.

SUBJECT: Review Jay Street/Andover Station North Assessments/02-33
DATE: May 1, 2007
INTRODUCTION
The assessment worksheet has been prepared for the Andover Station North project for review and
discussion with the EDA.
DISCUSSION
Attached is the assessment worksheet for the Andover Station North Improvements. This project is
being assessed to the Andover EDA, Great River Energy and the Povlitzki property. The feasibility
report identified an acreage assessment at $43,187.05 per acre. The actual assessment is much less
at $26,290.27 per acre.
The assessment worksheet has been discussed with both Great River Energy and Brad Povlitzki.
They are currently reviewing the assessments. The next step in the process will be to declare the
costs at the May 15th City Council meeting and schedule a Public Hearing for June 19th.
The information on the attached spreadsheet will be discussed in detail at the meeting.
ACTION REOUIRED
The EDA is requested to discuss the assessment worksheet. No action is required.
Respectfully submitted,

Ms Trude:
I was dismayed to read the latest Council minutes regarding trains horns. First, I am confused as
to why Andover does not just follow the accepted BNSF Quiet Zone protocol regarding Quiet
Zones and get the project moving forward instead of attempting to reinvent the wheel with the
mounted train whistles. You may be saving installation costs, but if you add in the hours spent by
both the City Engineer and the Council "talking about it" rather than actually moving the project
forward, how much are we actually saving?
Secondly, those of us that live near the Crosstown and Constance crossings will not be happy
that only the Bunker and Andover Crossings are now being considered for 2007, because, and I
quote from the minutes, that they "complained the most". If you are going to choose to only do
two crossings, why not do one crossing on each side of Andover so that all residents affected by
the horns can benefit?
Thank you for your time.
