Bunker Lake Boulevard Redevelopnient Activities
o
Mr. Neumeister reviewed a few options to facilitate redevelopment of the area south of
Bunker Lake Boulevard between Hanson Boulevard and Jay Street that will improve the
access to the comer site. He didn't feel this would happen very quickly and that it would
be a private redevelopment.
Mr. Dickinson has been talking with the broker representing Kottke's. The broker
indicated Kottke's would rather have a developer brought in for their property rather than
to do anything themselves. There may be a bank interested in a prominent location in the
o

community and Mr. Dickinson would also like another developer he has spoken with
come out to the site.
President Gamache felt that the EDA should consider the relocation of the frontage road,
as there is a buyer who is willing to pay what Eddy's Auto Body wants. Once Hanson
Boulevard is finished that area will redevelop.
Mr. Dickinson stated they talked about approaching Croix Oil but staff wanted to wait
until they heard something positive from Kottke's and the buyer for Eddy's.
Commissioner Jacobson asked how long Kwik Trip's option is. It was noted that it is
120 days. Commissioner Jacobson felt that the lots to the east should pay for part of the
road.
Commissioner Trude asked Mr. Dickinson to do a TIF cash flow statement on the project
for the EDA.
Q
Update on Economic Development Activities
Mr. Neumeister gave updates on the following:
Louis Rudnicki - met with staff and a broker. There is a lot of interest in expanding this
retail center. The question is who will take the lead.
Funeral Home - the ground breaking is scheduled for Augu,st nod at 11 :00 p.m.
Office Development - staff spoke to the lady with the day care center and she is not
interested in this site and is working on another project elsewhere. Pinewski Builders has
been contacted and they don't seem interested either,
Northstar Partners - they are aggressively marketing the property marketed to other
brokers.
MVP Baseball - this is going through the commercial site plan process.
Dynamic Sealing - there is a pocket of peat on the site so a lot of dirt will be moved.
Tasty Pizza - the attorneys are modifying the purchase agreement.
o
Other Business
The EDAdiscussed the medians on Bunker Lake Boulevard and what should be placed in
them. Mr. Neumeister noted that once they come up with a plan the County engineer has
to approve it. Commissioner Twistol felt that nurseries should be contacted to see what
they would recommend as they are slow now.

SUBJECT: Discuss Bunker Lake Blvd. Median
DATE:
September 4, 2007
INTRODUCTION
o
The staffhas been doing some research and giving some thought to what could be done to actually
implement what the EDA agreed to last year on the Bunker Lake Boulevard median between
Crosstown Boulevard and Martin Street. As was discussed last year, the area has become a weeded
up mess. The EDA agi-eed to change that image and put something in that would look nice and
need much less weeding and that would be affordable to implement and maintain.
DISCUSSION
The EDA approved option has been thought about, investigated in some detail and we have met
with the County Engineer who agreed to allow us to put a plan together to implement what we were
proposing. To refresh your memory, the plan showed compacted granite to replace the organic soil
with small planting areas (see attached information from July 25, 2006). In our discussions with a
number of people from "Master Gardeners" to professionals from Mickman Brothers nursery we
have had opinions from them that what we are planning may fail to keep the weeds at bay.
That leads us to ask the question, could the EDA agree to an experiment? That would be to pullout
the wood chips, establish a new feeder line for irrigation down the center of the median and allow
the soil that is there to be compacted, and sprayed with the "Poly Pavement" to see if that will
prevent weed growth as it is said to do (see attached data sheet from Poly Pavement). The existing
soil that we have in the median is considered ideal as described in their data sheet. I will bring
some to the meeting to show the EDA. If we are to try this out, and be successful in keeping the
weeds from growing we may have a cheap solution. However, every few years we may need to
respray the soil with "Poly Pavement" to keep it from breaking down. The fear that we have is that
the cracks and crevices that can appear from freeze/thaw cycles will still result in the reappearance
of weeds.
The only other alternative that we would be willing to bring forward at this time is to put the
o irrigation in the center of the median, remove all the organic materials and put concrete in (with the
c
o
o
same plan to provide openings for a limited amount of annuals or perennial flowers, or small
shrubs). This alternative may be as costly as $130,000 to $150,000 but may be more effective than
the "Poly Pavement" to control the weed growth. Even with concrete we would need to still do
annual maintenance as in the other approach, but the chance for weed growth would be much less.
The decision to give a trial on the existing soil would be only until the middle of next June to see if
the growth of weeds is checked or not.
If not, we should begin the work of removing the remaining organic soil and put concrete in the
space, with the small diamond shapes and more limited amount ofplantings. We ask the EDA to
review and discuss the information and provide staff direction on what they would like to pursue.
The residents are calling and want to see some action.
ACTION REOUlRED
The EDA is asked to review the issue once again and offer their opinions on what to do with the
situation.

SUBJECT: Bunker Lake Boulevard Median
DATE:
June 26, 2006
The Bunker Lake Boulevard median is again going to cost the property owners association at
Andover Station well over $9,000 in their annual operating expense budget. We need to look
at ways to get this under control. I have worked with Kameron Kytonen to try to keep this
from getting any worse, We are now maintaining/weeding it three times each summer (spring
cleanup, mid-summer weeding, and fall cleanup ). We are about to have the mid-summer
weeding done on July 7th. This will cost about $3,000 for everything that is done.
Recently we looked at the cost of removing the plant materials, and soils from the median.
Attached is the breakdown showing what the City Engineer t1llnks it would cost to remove the
plants and soils and place concrete in the median.
If we were to propose to do that, it would need funding (possibly from the Tax Increment
Financing for Andover Station) and we would need to check with Bill Hawkins whether this
could be an eligible expense to correct an on-going problem, The owners have complained
about our billings for the median maintenance from day one. Correcting this bad situation
could show the business community in the Andover Station area that we are willing to help
make the situation better, '
Jenny Lenhart, with United Properties, has told me that they currently have three spaces that
are completely vacant and that one other space has been given such a low lease rate that it is
just like giving. it away for free (Quizno's). She indicated that they charge an annual
maintenance fee for each leasee that is about $7.25 per square foot and normally it is around
$4.00 to $4.50 per square foot Whatever we can do to lower their operating expenses will
help them retain their current tenants and also help them get som1:.o fill their vacancies.
Y'~ <r.1M
We don't want to let this situation go unresolved for much longer or it could negatively affect
the entire Andover Station area We don't want any more vacancy to appear.

SJBJEcT: Options for Bunker Lake Boulevard Median Maintenance
IlA.. TE: July 25, 2006
A. yOlcan see from the attached sheet from Finance, the Bunker Lake Boulevard median is again going to cost both
:Pc>pelty owners associanons at Andover Station a significant amount of money. This memo is written because the
A.sociations have asked for us to look at new ways to get these costs under control.
A mo1llh ago the staff suggested to put concrete in the entire median, but that was met with objection. Sta.fl' has
eonsuhed with Mickman Brothers and together we believe we have an idea of what to do to gain control of the weeds
~d still have landscaping in the median. We feel that we need to limit the amount of organic area to only about 10%
of the area and selectively place salt tolerant, very hardy plants in a proper fashion in smaller spaces (see attached
dawilig). The situation we have right now is out of control and will not ever be completely under control unless we
ch a IDajor change.
o Vie would suggest a material in the median that looks nice, and is able to keep weeds from growing up and is more
CQst effective to install. The;: material would be a grey colored crushed (unwashed sand) granite quarry rock that is
placed and compacted very well, then a material called "poly pavement" would be sprayed on it to hold it in place
Wid bind the material together. The finished product would look like exposed aggregate (stronger than bituminous).
'!he idea would be to reduce the amount of organic growing media to a much smaller area, and then plant very close
together to have the plants out compete the weeds. The cost breakdown below is what could be expected include:
Item No. Description Units Est Quantity Unit Price Total

using the shortest route possible. The Po/yPavement surface should not be sloped to drain using the paver
surface to carry the water a long distance before it finds its way off of the surface. At locations where a natl
flowing rainwater run-off channel has to cross the Po/ypavement, there could be a need to install a sub-sur
to prevent the rainwater run-off from damaging the Po/yPavement surface.
SOIL REQUIREMENTS
Po/ypavement Soil Solidifierworks well in all types of "clean" naturally existing soils that are free of contarr
(man-made and free-existing chemicals). All that is required of the soil for Po/yPavement Soil SoJidifierto v.
excellently is that the soil have a sufficient proportion of fine particles to provide maximum particle contact I
minimum void space between the soil particles, Most naturally existing soil meets the suitability requiremen
Po/yPavement Soil SoJidifier application, but some soil may not be suitable. PolyPavement Soil Solidifier al
well in suitable sand and it works well in suitable crushed quarry rock.
Obviously, the question of the suitability of the soil, the sand or the crushed quarry rock must be answered
before proceeding with a Po/yPavement application. '
po/yPavement has determined that the suitability of soil, sand or crushed quarry rock depends on whether
sufficient self-cohesiveness. If the soil, sand or crushed quarry rock holds together in a clump when it is me
properly and squeezed tightly in the hand, the soil has a measure of natural cohesiveness and it might be E
a PO/ypavement application.
:t
If the soil clump is gently broken and it breaks apart in two clean pieces then the soil has a sufficient measl
natural cohesiveness for a Po/ypavement Soil Solidifier application. But, if the soil clump breaks apart into
pieces when it
is gently broken, then it is unsuitable for a Po/yPavement application.
o
In-Place, Soil: Most existing in-place soil meets the minimum requirements for a Po/yPavement application
However, the in-place soil more often does not meet the architect's aesthetic requirements. When the in-ph
does not meet the aesthetic requirements, a suitable sand or crushed quarry rock is imported for the PolyP
application.
Sand: Sand, like the in-place soil, must be tested for suitability. Most sand that is offered for sale by local s
has been washed and all of the fine sand particles have been removed. It is unlikely that sand that has no 1
particles will pass the soil suitability test And if it happens to pass the soil suitability test, it will probably pal
marginally. When a sand or soil-like material passes the soil suitability test marginally, it is necessary to inc
amount of Po/yPavement Soil SoJidifierto assure sufficient binding strength. Normally, the specified concer
Po/yPavement Soil Solidifier is 2% by volume of compact soil, but for marginal granular soils, the concentrc
solidifier could be specified at the maximum concentration of 2.5%. The precise percent concentration of
po/yPavement, Soil Solidifierto use in a marginal soil is determined by making samples under controlled lal
conditions.
Crushed Quarry Rock: Crushed quarry rock, like sand and the in-place soil, must be tested for suitability.
particular gradation of crushed quarry rock (Le, three-eighths minus) 'happens not to pass the soil suitabilit)
another gradation can be specified (I.e. one-quarter minus or one-eighth minus). The quarry operator has tl
to provide a crushed rock that passes the soil suitability test.
o
It should be noted that clean crushed quarry rock that is absolutely free of clay and has sufficient quarry fin
provide the contact points necessary for binding may not hold together well when subjected to the soil suite
It might appear to fail the test. However, clean crushed quarry rock with sufficient tines is one of the best m
use with POlypavement. When a question about the suitability of a clean crushed quarry material arises, ar
laboratory sample should be prepared to confirm that the quarry material has sufficient fines for good bindil
Clay Soils: Clay soils have lots of fine particles and clay soils will normally pass the soil suitability test.

Though a properly installed polypavement wear-surface resists freeze-thaw damage, it should be mention!
precaution that freeze-thaw damage will occur and could be very severe if a PolyPavement wear-surface is
dirl;lctly on top of a sub-grade that has not been properly prepared to address local ground water levels or s
water conditions.
If a PO/ypavement wear surface is installed on top of a sub-grade that is not elevated or built-up sufficiently
ground water level, then the ground moisture will seep slowly from a lateral direction into the sub-grade sol
slowly into the PolyPavementwear-surface. Poly Pavement has high resistance to surface water penetratio
not resistant to water invasion from a lateral direction or from beneath. After a period of days or weeks, the
thoroughly seep into the PolyPavement. If the water remains, it will weaken the PolyPavement bond, but w
dries, the strength of the bond retums. However, if the PolyPavement should happen to freeze while the We
present, the expanding waterlice within the soil particles will break the polymers' bond between the soil par
permanently. When the wet-frozen PolyPavement thaws-out, the treated soil will be nothing more than wet
and PolyPavement will have to be re-installed.
This potential freeze-thaw problem is prevented by using sound road building techniques such as placing a
rock road base material atop the compact sub-grade several inches thick. Next, install a layer of compactel
top of the crushed rock and then treat the soil with PolyPavement. A geo-textile material might also be inco
in the design. For detailed drawings of the basic designs, follow our website links to the caddetails website,
Eiew CAD drawings 3 and 4 under Installation Details.
WET CLIMATE CONDITIONS
o
Wet climate conditions are a potential problem for a PolyPavement installation. Though PolyPavement wor
wet climates, when Polypavement ,is first installed it must be allowed to dry. If the climate does not have all
cycles of wet conditions and dry conditions that allow naturally existing wet muddy soil to dry, then soil trea
PolyPavement will, not have conditions that allow it to dry. It can rain daily on a Poly Pavement surface that
allowed to dry without damaging it, 'but it must first be allowed to dry.
Po/yPavement can be used successfully in wet climate conditions where the surface soil remains continuol
due to a high water table. In this case, the trail or roadway surface must be elevated above the groundwate
This can be done by first installing a supportive bed of gravel road base material and then installing the soil
be treated with PolyPavement on top of the supportive road base material. A supportive bed of gravel road
material will prevent groundwater from seeping into the PolyPavement treated soil from beneath. Obvious e
where a supportive gravel road base material should be installed are swamps, marshes and rain forests.
PolyPavement Soil Solidifier is a water based polymer emulsion. The presence of water in the emulsion pre
polymers from polymerizing or solidifying. When PolyPavel1}ent Soil Solidifier is applied to soil to make nab
pavement, it is mixed into the soil wet, compacted and allowed to dry. Drying is absolutely essential for a Sl

PolyPavement cannot be installed during a rain. After Poly Pavement is properly installed, it remains resists
water invasion in its cured state. Prior to drying, water will adversely affect the application. Precautions sho

Since PolyPavemenfs water-resistance characteristics are like asphalt and does not do well with channel f

SUBJECT: Discuss Bunker Lake Blvd. Median (supplemental)
DATE:
September 4, 2007
INTRODUCTION
Attached is a cost estimate from Mickman Brothers landscaping to do some of the basic work
needed to begin implementing the revitalization/clean up of the median on Bunker,
DISCUSSION
The cost estimate is for the smaller of the two medians that need work. To have both of the medians done,
multiply the number by 2.5 which would cost an estimated $22,000. The basic work involved in this cost
estimate includes:
· Removal of the wood chips that are currently in place
. Installing a new irrigation line
. Compacting the existing soils
. Spraying the "poly pavement" material on the soil.
The cost of the poly pavement is not in the estimate and would be approximately $2,000.
The cost oflane closures are not in the estimate, which could cost $600-$1,000.
Next year there would be costs of plantings and final work on installing the irrigation heads, lane closures,
and miscellaneous other incidentals. There is no guarantee that this approach will work either.
In my research on plantings in medians, I have found that there is one city that every few years they
remove everything and start over with fresh soils, plants, etc. This is because there is very high salt build
up in the soils. That city budgets over $100,000 each year to keep their medians looking nice.
ACTION REOUESTED
The EDA is asked to receive the new information and discuss which option is desired.

SUBJECT: Discuss Alternative Use of Lot 1, Block 2, Andover Station North
DATE:
September 4, 2007
INTRODUCTION
Staff would like the feedback of the EDA related to allowing light industrial on the site that has
been marketed by Northstar Partners (Lot 1, Block 2, Andover Station North).
DISCUSSION
A recent call has brought this issue to the surface. However you may recall that when we first
started marketing the sites at Andover Station North there was more light industrial than other
uses on the concept plans, The company that has shown some interest is Marshall Manufacturing,
and they have two divisions and would need the entire site to move their current operations which
has 65 employees. Attached is information on what Marshall Manufacturing produces.
ACTION REOUESTED
The EDA is asked to provide staff direction on whether they are open to the idea of light
industrial on the lot in question.
Respectfully submitted,
Will Neumeister wd-

History Of Marshall Manufacturing Company
Marshall Manufacturing has a track record of constant growth and expansion. Lawrence Gagr
began the company in the early 1950's working by himself in rented space in northeast
Minneapolis on Marshall Avenue, which gave the company its original name of Marshall Screv
Products. In 1956, the company moved to 4000 square feet of rented space at the Griggs
Midway Building in St. Paul. At first, the company specialized in short run, high precision turr
work. In 1958, it expanded into general machining work. In the mid-1960's Marshall bought
two smaller companies and began making the "Zuber" meat-processing equipment and an ai
powered "Jig Vise."
By the late 1960's expansion had taken place to the point where machines were "in the aisle~
In 1968, the company bought land and started construction of a building on 3820 Chandler C
in St. Anthony. Early 1970 saw Marshall moving into the new building and at the same time t
company changed its name to Marshall Manufacturing Company. In February 1979, Marshall
made an ownership change to prepare itself for the 1980's and the decades beyond. John
Timmersman and Roger Tousley purchased the company. John bought out Roger's interest tc
become sole owner in 1989. New ownership brought the introduction of CNC turning and
machining centers and several other increased capabilities: a broader customer base (movin!
away from the computer industry), a network type computer system and a quality system to
MIL-I-45208A. In 1994, Marshall participated in 3M's 02 Project, which resulted in the
remodeling of the shop for cellular manufacturing and the creation of a tool crib. This also
started the reorganization of management into streamlined, productive, efficient, problem
solving self-managed teams. The immediate results of the reorganization created a Safety
Program, documented procedures and obtaining 150-9002 certification in 1996.
In 1997 Marshall remodeled, creating an employee lunchroom, training center, inspection arE
shop office and new rest rooms. In the spring of 1998, the offices and lower area were
remodeled creating locations for storage and a conference room. During 1999, Marshall
remodeled the balance of 3818 Chandler Drive into a Training Center and area for its new
Apprenticeship Training Program. Over the last four years, Marshall Manufacturing has focusE
on productivity improvements by replacing manual machines, single spindle screw machines,
older CNC machines with new CNC turning centers, CNC machining centers and CNC Swiss-tl
turning centers. Marshall Manufacturing changed its quality management system to a proces:
based system and recently was re-audited and recommended for certification to the new ISO
9001:2000 standard by TUV America.
Fivestar Die Casting was formed in May 2001, which then acquired the assets of Hartzel
Manufacturing Company's St. Paul Minnesota plant. Hartzel had a long history in the die cast
business and brought Fivestar new opportunity with the addition of key employees, modern
equipment and a good customer base. Several key Hartzel employees joined the Fivestar
management team, bringing many years of experience in all aspects of the die casting businE
to the new venture. Fivestar Die Casting, along with Marshall Manufacturing, provides a full
range of services from part design through to die casting, precision machining, finishing and
assembly. Materials include zinc and aluminum in a wide range alloys and sizes from miniatu
to very large.
The joint capabilities bring many advantages to customers looking for a complete product de:
and manufacturing supplier with a mission of improving products while reducing costs. Toget
we provide the same high quality and service that has been a trademark of Marshall
Manufacturing Company for over five decades.
