REVIEW REQUEST FROM TCFIRYAN CONSTRUCTION FOR BANK USE OF LOT AND
LOT SPLIT
Mr. Newneister advised this is a request from TCF/Ryan Companies for bank use of Lot and Lot
Split. He stated initially Ryan Companies had indicated they would like to split the 1,75 acre
parcel for two separate sites; however they have determined that they will develop a site plan that
eliminates the need for the lot split.

Minutes - May 25, 2004

Mr. Neumeister further advised the Andover Station Design Standards do not preclude the use of
the property for a financial institution. The developer, Ryan Companies, has provided
information related to the attempts that they have made to market the site for a sit-down
restaurant He indicated Ryan Companies has indicated that they would like to accommodate the
desire of the EDA for a sit-down restaurant, but the reality is that the market will not support it.
The EDA has been requested to review the plans to determine whether the building would be
consistent with the design standards and the vision the EDA has for the area. He noted that
originally staffwas not supportive of the planned lot split, however staff is now supportive of the
revised plans.
Commissioner Trude stated they had been expecting Wells Fargo, but that seems to have fallen
apart, She asked if the use for the parcel in front of Festival was not determined to be perfect for
a bank, and this would compete with it. Mr, Neumeister stated this is an accepted use for the
parceL He indicated there is no promise that there would be a bank in one location over another,
and they were all hoping this parcel would have a sit-down restaurant.
:)
Torn Palmquist, Ryan Companies indicated they have been marketing the site, and have a bank
looking at their site and the United Properties site by Festival. He stated the bank preferred to be
in front of Target He indicated TCF has provided a letter that states they would prefer to be on
the Ryan Companies site, Mr. Neumeister confirmed that TCF knew both sites are available.
Mr. Palmquist indicated the lot in question is north and east of Target He showed the EDA the
site plan, noting that when they went through the approval process they ghost platted what could
be done. They are aware further approval would be needed on specific buildings, but the ghost
plat did show a building of this size in that location, He indicated they have been marketing this
property for over a year with the understanding the EDA desires to have a restaurant at the
location; however they have corne up short. They have a letter of intent from TCF Bank, which
is a pennitted use, and have a plan.
Mr. Palmquist advised the bank would be a 4500 square foot TCF prototype, and they understand
the materials would have to be consistent with the Andover Station Design guidelines, They are
also showing a 3700 square foot restaurant. Ryan Companies would own all the property, and
would sell it as one package when they go to sell rather than request a lot division at that time.
They feel the plan complies with the guidelines, and they understand they would have to corne
back with more detailed plans consistent with this preliminary site plan.

Mr. Palmquist advised there is a declaration of restrictive covenants that is attached with all the
properties that agrees to restrict the uses, One use restricted is fmancial institutions. He stated
an amendment has been drafted to allow the bank to be located here, and has been signed by
United Properties, Walgreens and Target, It would need EDA and City Council approval also to
allow for a bank. He indicated they will continue to market to restaurants, but it has been slim
pickings.
President Gamache asked if the TCF will be similar to the Coon Rapids TCF off Main Street.

Mr. Palmquist stated he does not know, he only knows it is the current TCF prototype,
President Gamache asked if they expect that when Target opens, marketing a restaurant will be
easier. Mr. Palmquist stated it will not hurt, but given the current progress of the parcel it is odd
they have not been able to attract one already.
Commissioner Trude stated they had thought the lot size would fit a sit-down restaurant, but
asked if fast food would work. Mr. Palmquist indicated he did not think they could make the
parking work for a fast food restaurant, because you would need a drive-thru.
Commissioner Trude asked what else could be located in the second building. Mr. Palmquist
suggested a Chipotle-style restaurant would work, Commissioner Trude indicated they usually
do not like to be stand alone buildings. She wondered if they are just sectioning off a piece of the
parcel and will end up making more parking for Target. Mr. Palmquist stated that is a developer
risk. Commissioner Trude asked again what could be there. She stated the Target covenants will
not allow anything to be sold that they sell. She indicated they want a restaurant, but do not have
the lunch crowd,
()
Commissioner Knight asked if the lack of a lunch crowd was due to the lack of offices, and more
offices are coming. Mr, Palmquist agreed that was true.
Commissioner Jacobson verified they want to keep it as one lot, but they would build two
buildings on the lot, which the city normally does not allow. Mr. Neumeister stated it is the same
ownership, and has been allowed in another case.
Commissioner Jacobson asked what they would put there if they cannot get a restaurant. He
stated if they sit with a vacant building they will be under pressure to put something in there, and
this is a prime location. Also, this is a main entrance for Target. He indicated TCF is asking for
six drive-thru aisles, which does not leave much room for stacking, Mr. Palmquist indicated
TCF looked at it, and are comfortable with the space. Commissioner Jacobson asked if they need
six lanes, Commissioner Trude indicated no one gets out of the car anymore, so the only parking
they really need is for employees, Mr. Palmquist indicated they have 60 spaces between the two
buildings.
Mr. Dickinson indicated TCF is geared more toward individual consumers, not co=ercial, so
they need more drive-thru lanes. He stated he participated in a survey for TCF, and one result of
that was that they wanted to target homeowners from the immediate area
~)
President Gamache asked if Ryan Companies would build the second building or wait until they
had a tenant. Mr. Palmquist stated they would probably build it now due to economy of scale.
Commissioner Trude asked if they could attach the two buildings. Mr. Palmquist indicated they
could not. They could not get the drive-thru to work, and they do need to have some parking
space, Commissioner Trude asked if they would just leave it as a shell until they have a tenant.

Mr. Palmquist stated they would complete the outside per the Andover Station guidelines, and
leave the inside until they have a tenant.
Commissioner Jacobson asked if they just see it as a fast-food type restaurant, or if they would
considering splitting it and having two tenants. Mr. Palmquist indicated he could see the latter.
Commissioner Jacobson asked with the list of restaurants contacted, how does that affect the two
sites west of there, Mr. Palmquist indicated he does not know, Commissioner Trude stated they
almost need to find a new franchise that wants to come into this area-
Mr, Dickinson noted they are looking for concept plan approval, and also approval of the
amendment, subject to review and approval of the City Attorney.
Commissioner Trude asked if the lunch crowd does come in later, are there other sites that would
be available for sit-down restaurants at that time, Mr. Neumeister indicated there are.
Commissioner Trude asked if they still felt L7 acres was the right size. Mr. Palmquist indicated
he feels it is a little large. Commissioner Trude stated Andover's parking requirements are a
little different than other cities. Mr, Palmquist stated Target's parking requirements are higher
, '\ than the City's,
'---/
Commissioner Trude stated she has no problem with the bank. She has a problem with chiseling
down the lot, but understands the challenges, She asked staff if they were giving something up
by approving this plan. Mr. Dickinson stated he did not think so, and they would be getting the
lot developed. He indicated it is in a TIP district, and they need to get buildings up and start
leveraging that. Commissioner Knight agreed, stating if the building is up it will go faster than
they think. Commissioner Trude thanked Mr. Palmquist for sharing their research with the city.
Commissioner Jacobson noted the request is for retail/restaurant, but that is not what they will
get. Mr. Palmquist stated the request would be to allow an amendment to the covenant to allow a
bank, and to allow two buildings on one lot. He indicated they will bring a more detailed plan
later. They will try to get a restaurant, but cannot guarantee they wilL
Commissioner Trude asked if it could be a service business, such as a dry cleaner. Mr. Palmquist
stated some service businesses would be allowed, Commissioner Trude indicated she is sure
people will be happy to see a bank go in, and she knows TCF is popular, President Gamache
stated he would favor the proposal as given today,

'-J'
Commissioner Trude asked if staff has any concerns. Mr. Neumeister stated the architectural
review will need to be done. He indicated originally they were requesting a lot split for the two
buildings, and staff thought the lot was too small, but the second building could be a small office
and if it was done to look like the bank, would look nice. Mr. Dickinson noted it is not much
smaller than the other office space on E=erich's parceL Mr. Palmquist stated it could only be
one story. He indicated there is an operating and easement agreement between Ryan Companies
and Target that limits the height so it does not block the store, and that limits it to one story.

financial institution on Lot 2, Block I, Andover Marketplace East, subject to review of the City
Attorney. Motion carried nn~nimously.
Motion by Trude, Seconded by Knight, to approve two buildings to be constructed on Lot 2,
Block I, Andover Marketplace East.
Commissioner Jacobson asked if when Ryan Companies goes to sell, they will have to sell the
buildings together, and will not be able to come in for a lot split, Mr. Dickinson indicated they
could do a PUD on the property. Mr. Paulson stated they would not want to split the lots because
the lot lines would not be neat. He indicated he has talked to their fmance people and discussed
the exit strategy and he does not feel they will have a problem selling both buildings on the one
lot.
()
Mr. Neumeister indicated if you look at the Emmerich Office Building, you have individual lots
with one common lot, similar to a townhouse situation, and it works, Commissioner Jacobson
commented that what they have here is a concept plan, and he would be very concerned when the
plans come in to see the traffic patterns, signage, etc. He stated he will hold Ryan Companies'
feet to the fire when the details come in, and they will have to meet all ordinances, Mr.
Dickinson noted the Ryan Companies are saying they are committed to building two buildings,
and we will see the final product when it comes back.
Commissioner Jacobson stated he is concerned with more than the exterior. He would like to see
the plans before they are so far along changes cannot be made, He does not want to see them ask
for variances; the plans need to meet the codes,
Motion carried unanimously.
DISCUSS REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR ANDOVER STATION NORTH
Mr. Neumeister stated the discussion is to review the materials provided by United Properties &
Meridian Land Co" Town and Country Homes, Bruggeman Homes, Ryland Homes, and Positive
Development, mc,
~)
Commissioner Trude stated the clarification from Meridian Land Company did not clarify very
well. She indicated the question was if they were proposing income assisted housing or elderly
assisted housing, and the letter said income assisted. She advised she asked Mike Mulrooney
how he would approach a big site like this, and he said the housing usually comes last because
otherwise the people living there object to everything else you try to do.
Mr, Neumeister thinks housing should be first, but they need the commercial to be hand in hand
with housing because they need the big developers to help with streets and utilities. Mr.
Dickinson indicated one issue is that restaurants and retail like to locate next to dense housing,

Mr. Neumeister indicated he asked Keith Ulstad from United Properties to write up his thoughts
on whether the power sub-station could be moved. He said he would be willing to discuss it, but
there would be less retail. He indicated it would have to be more showroom or light industrial or
office buildings toward the back, but United Properties would be willing to work with the EDA
on it.
Commissioner Trude stated it says United Properties would be willing to operate and control the
property for eight years if we allow them to, however she is wondering if they should not have
staff market it. Mr. Neumeister indicated the City could act as the developer, but if United
Properties will hold it for eight years it must mean they expect slow marketing. They should
market the south twenty acres as soon as possible to help with construction of utilities and
streets, and having staff market it would put a different spin on financing as well. They should
bring the utilities and streets halfway to get to the housing, but the point is they will want to stage
the south half- '

Commissioner Knight asked why this is five lanes if Station Parkway is only four lanes, He
questioned if they expected this road to have more traffic. Mr. Neumeister stated the study
showed approximately 11,000 cars a day on this road, which would need five lanes, President
Gamache noted Station Parkway is four lanes with protected left turn lanes.
Commissioner Jacobson agreed that if they are putting the residential in first, people get used to
the blank land very quickly, He would suggest they protect the land along Bunker Lake
Boulevard, and put residential in the northwest comer, then try to put in retail. President
Gamache stated he is favoring staff's recommendation of doing the road half way.
Commissioner Knight indicated if they received good proposals they would not want to limit the
development. Commissioner Jacobson agreed, but stated so far they have not received good
proposals.
Commissioner Trude indicated Mike Mulrooney said United Properties is just a broker and is
tying the City up. Mr. Dickinson indicated staff agrees, Mr. Neumeister stated it is not good to
plan for land use and then market it. They would want to make sure there is balance with housing
and some industrial so they can get help with the streets and utilities. Mr. Dickinson suggested
they give staff a year and see how it goes.
~J
Commissioner Jacobson suggested Mike Mulrooney would work off commission, Mr.
~eumeister thinks by marketing it themselves they can preserve some revenue that would have to
be paid in broker fees. They need to figure out a way to get the residential portion going, and
there may be some short-term financing the City will need to cover, but they have TIF money and
development fees to help fund it.
Commissioner Trude noted the engineers may say it is better to do the whole road rather than
only half of it. Mr. Dickinson explained they would build one road all the way. He advised this
will be a parkway system, with one side being built first to handle two-way traffic, and
, '\ Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting

converting that when the second side of the road is built. This way they can get the road all the
way to the residential area,
Commissioner Jacobson asked staff to refresh him on the Metropolitan Council's requirements
and what the City said they would do. Mr. Neumeister indicated it was originally ten acres of
high density to meet the affordable housing requirements, He stated the City met with them and
asked if they were to blend that ten acres with the low density Povlitzki property it would be
okay, and the Metropolitan Council agreed. Commissioner Trude indicated they cannot force the
market, either. Mr, Neumeister stated sixteen acres at medium density will be close to the
numbers needed to fulfill the requirements.
Mr, Neumeister noted that one other point of not including Meridian is they were depending on
redesigning the holding pond, and were also tied to United Properties.
Commissioner Trude stated she read the proposals, and she likes Bruggeman. She indicated it
seems like smaller developers offer houses with more quality than the national developers. She
has seen better quality and workmanship from the smaller developers.
, \,
\..~
(Commissioner Orttel arrive at 7,'00 p.m.)
Commissioner Jacobson stated they have to be very conscious of what backs up to the homes
already there, but it will have to have more density then what is adjacent to this property. He
indicated he would hate to see the same design as in Andover South; he would prefer something
different, Mr, Neumeister indicated one point of clarification is that the Bruggeman plan has two
different housing styles within the site. Commissioner Trude asked if there was a shared wall on
the one level townhomes, The Bruggeman representative stated there is a common wall,
however in terms of noise between units they have many details with the walls that really limits
nOIse.
Commissioner Trude confirmed the plan was to have single-level townhomes next to the
adjacent single-family homes, with more traditional townhomes closer to the commercial portion,
and that the townhomes were expected to be $170,000 to $190,000, The Bruggeman
representative indicated that was correct.
Mr. Neumeister noted that Brad Povlitzki stopped by and informed staff he would be very
interested in selling the triangle piece of property to the housing developer of the EDA's choice.
He stated they have also talked about bringing townhomes all the way to Jay Street, which allows
them to market the townhomes without having to go by commercial buildings to get to them,
President Gamache agreed that was a good idea.
o
Commissioner Jacobson asked what action is needed tonight; asking if they were to select a
developer and direct that developer to put more detail into the concept plan and come back, Mr,
Neumeister stated that was what they needed, He indicated staff will have to look at phasing
with streets and utilities. Mr. Dickinson indicated before they could finalize anything they will

need to come back to the EDA with fmancial details.
Motion by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, to approve the proposal from Bruggeman Homes with the
provision of acceptance of the final concept plan and contingent on making an agreement with
Povlitzki's and putting both parcels together.
Commissioner Trude indicated by the one-level townhomes that are adjacent to the single-family
homes, it would be nice to preserve as many trees as possible, Commissioner Knight indicated that
with regard to the homes to the west, as much buffering in that area as can be provided would also be
appreciated,
Commissioner Jacobson stated with regard to density, he does not want to go too dense, but he wants
to make sure they meet the Metropolitan Council agreement, Commissioner Knight ash:d staff to
get the original language of the original agreement.
Commissioner Trude stated she is assuming the plan may change, but that it will still have some nice
site amenities. Co=issioner Orttel asked what happened to the idea to have single-family homes
on the Povlitzki property. Commissioner Jacobson stated they have it in the proposal that the one-
level townhomes will be close to the single-family homes. Mr. Neumeister stated the EDA can ask
that staff work with Bruggeman and see if they can work that out. Mr. Dickinson stated he also
questions if someone would want to invest in that style of home by the ballfield, Mr, Neumeister
indicated there could be a market for a one-unit townhome that looks like a single-family home, but
is more in line with townhome pricing.
Commissioner Orttel asked if they are just going with the developer they want, but not looking at
that developer's specific proposal. Commissioner Jacobson stated they have graphics, with the
understanding it may change. Mr. Dickinson noted they will have to come back with a significant
amount ofitems before approvals can be made. '
Motion ca@ on a 4- Y es (Gamache, Trude, Jacobson, Knight) I - Abstain (Orttel) vote.
Commissioner Orttel asked if the idea was that staff would be marketing the property. Mr.
Neumeister indicated the EDA would like to hold off on the parcels right on Bunker and develop a
marketing plan for the other parcels. Commissioner Orttel stated this was nothing against staff, but it
is not their expertise. Mr. Neumeister stated they may include Mike Mulrooney. Commissioner
Jacobson stated they can see what will change, and may want to involve him if appropriate,
Mr. Dickinson indicated staff would propose a joint marketing effort with a p'erformance-based
agreement on the outside representation, and no commission from the staff s~. Commissioner
Knight suggested they not shut out Bunker. He indicated if something came in that fits, they should
consider it.
Commissioner Orttel indicated two pages of restaurants said we do not meet their demographics, and
he is wondering what demographics they are using. Commissioner Trude stated the problem is they

have no daytime business. Mr. Dickinson indicated that being next to the sub-station, they are
looking at a business that can create jobs in that are!L Commissioner Orttel wondered if it is time to
look at incentives to get a restaurant in the area, as it would be a real benefit, Mr. Dickinson
indicated they can look at incentives to small businesses,
CONSIDER ANDOVER BOWLING CENTER AT ANDOVER STATION
Mr. Neumeister indicated this item is to review the plan for a bowling facility. He advised a
bowling alley classified as 'Indoor Commercial Recreation' is a permitted use under the design
guidelines, He indicated the preliminary design of the bowling alley shows a 25,0.0.0. square foot
building with 24 lanes, a game room, arcade, bar, lounge, and snack area with seating for 240.
customers. He stated the bowling alley will be located on the south side of Tanner's Steakhouse,
where a sit-down restaurant was originally planned, The Andover Review Committee has
reviewed the plan and is in favor of the development He indicated in order to move forward
with the project, the applicant will need approval of the Andover Station Association, to
complete the commercial site plan process, and obtain a conditional use permit for alcohol sales,
CJ
Mr. Neumeister indicated that one issue that came up in the review is that the south elevation is
facing the banquet hall, and the east elevation is facing the movie theatre. The west elevation
would be facing Martin Street, and he wonders if the building should be flipped so the best side
of the building is facing Martin Street
Commissioner Jacobson asked if this project would not be better for Andover North.
Commissioner Orttel indicated Andover South was supposed to be the recreation are!L
Commissioner Trude stated she likes the place. She indicated as a parent, this way you can have
one child go to a movie, and the other gobowling, President Gamache asked for the applicant's
thoughts on the layout
Dan Dahlin indicated they laid it out the way it is to get cross-traffic with the movie theatre. He
stated he has a meeting with the architect tomorrow, and they will look at how to jazz up the long
wall.
Commissioner Knight noted it ta1ks about seating for 240. people; he asked where the seating
would be, Mr. Dahlin indicated that includes the bowling seating.
(J
Commissioner Trude asked if the food would be hamburger baskets and such. Mr. Dahlin
indicated that was correct He stated he also owns Ham Lake Lanes, and will carry over the
concept ofleaving some lanes for open bowling at all times instead of having all leagues on peak
nights.
President Gamache asked if they would be open until 2:0.0. a,m. Mr. Dahlin indicated they are
not, He stated he has a 2:0.0. !Lm. license, but only utilizes it on New Year's Eve.

Commissioner Orttel asked if they would have a full liquor license, Mr. Dahlin stated they
would. Commissioner Trude asked about smoking. Mr. Dahlin indicated he would rather go
non-smoking, but he does not know if it would work. He stated there is only one other bowling
center in Minnesota that is non-smoking.
Mr. Neumeister indicated he thinks with Target on Martin Street, there will be more traffic. If
you are at the movie theater and want to go bowling, you will find the entrance. Commissioner
Trude asked if the parking was shared with the movie theatre. Mr. Dahlin indicated it is,
President Gamache stated that the parking would be more of a factor to determine the building
front. Mr. Neumeister advised that the front of the building lines up with Tanners also.
Commissioner Trude stated she feels it is a marketing decision. Commissioner Knight agreed.
He stated he is not in favor of telling the applicant which way the building should go.
Commissioner Trude asked if there is landscaping betWeen the property and Tanner's, Mr.
Dahlin stated there is a walkway, which will be preserved.
Commissioner Jacobson asked if this is a separate lot Mr, Neumeister indicated it is.
, \
\. j Commissioner Ortte1 asked if it is possible to dress it up on the street side so the front could be
wherever they want He indicated there could be fake windows or something.
Commissioner Jacobson asked what materials would be used. He stated they saw samples
before. Mr. Neumeister indicated they would have to go with the color scheme of the area.
Commissioner Jacobson indicated color is not the same as material. Mr. Dahlin indicated he
could get a sample of the pre-fabricated panels. Mr, Neumeister stated they have approved the
panels before.
Mr. Dickinson indicated this will come back as a commercial site plan if the EDA makes that a
requirement. He noted it will not be reviewed by the association, President Gamache indicated
Mike Quigley will be part of the project as well, so he does not think they will see something
different than the other buildings there, He indicated Emmerich will also be involved.
Commissioner Trude stated they had to approve all the aspects of Tanner's Steakhouse, and
asked what has changed. Mr. Dickinson indicated the design guidelines are different here, He
stated it would go through a commercial site plan. Commissioner Orttel stated if the general site
plan looks good, they should send it through for now.

<~
Commissioner Trude hopes the restaurantlbar does not become a bar, but remains a food source
with liquor available, Mr. Dahlin indicated it will be the same as Ham Lake Lanes.
Commissioner Orttel stated the liquor license indicated it has to be 50% food. Mr. Dickinson
indicated that is only for the Sunday liquor license. Commissioner Orttel stated it still says the
bar can only be part of the restaurant.
Mr. Neumeister stated it will be part of the development agreement He indicated this body will

only see the site plan. Commissioner arttel indicated he would like to see the traffic flows on
this site, and asked if they could have that come back.
Mr. Neumeister indicated he would suggest a motion that the EDA is in favor of the use, and is
recommending the applicant go through the site plan and come back for the conditional use
permit and liquor license review,
Motion by arttel, Seconded by Knight to approve the motion as outlined.
Commissioner Jacobson asked if there was any way they could convince the applicant to put this
on the north side of Bunker Lake Boulevard. He is suggesting if they use the space up now, and
they are trying to get a restaurant, the bowling alley site may be better by the power line. He
indicated once you are inside the building you will not see the power line, and he thinks there are
some advantages to being on the north side, '
Commissioner arttel indicated he heard they were going to try to do more office and retail space,
but he does not know what the schedule is, He indicated the bigger issue is if they start
competing against private companies and take their buyers,

Motion Carried on a 4- Yes, I-No (Jacobson) vote.
UPDATE - TIF DlSTRCIT NO. 1- 4
Mr, Dickinson indicated this is an update, with no action needed. Staff is working with Ehlers
and Associates on TIP District # 1-4. He stated they were before the Anoka County Board this
morning, with no comments provided. He indicated they are moving forward in the area, and
had inspection on three buildings; Andover Liquor, Rick's Building and the Landscape Building,
He stated they will have a presentation at the June 151 City Council meetirig, but may suggest it is
tabled, because not all the infonmi.tion is in from the applicant. He added they have another
applicant that has asked to be put in. It would require another 30-day comment period,
Mr. Dickinson advised the other parcel is on the north side of 162Dd, and would be better than
creating a new district if they are planning to do something in the next two to five years,

Commissioner Trude asked if they would only take those with frontage. Mr. Dickinson indicated
they would, and those with a gateway to the park. Commissioner Trude asked if they should see
if there are others rather than deferring. Mr. Dickinson stated if staff recommends that they defer
it will be because they are receiving information that others are interested. He indicated he

SUBJECT: Update on Andover Station North -- Planning
DATE:
June 29, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The staff has been working to develop a land use plan and marketing drawing for Andover
Station North. The land use that was envisioned is depicted on a drawing that is attached but
will be embellished upon and will be distributed the night of the EDA meeting. Staff will
explain the approach that is being taken on the land use and development of the site and has
been aggressively working to get the word out on the opportunity, There has been a great deal
of interest shown in the site by numerous individuals,
:J DISCUSSION
Staff believes that the vision shown on the drawings is what the City EDA had directed staff
to begin working towards for this continuation of Andover Station, Staff has been working
with Mike Mulrooney, Bruggeman Homes and City Parks Coordinator, Todd Haas, to develop
a plan that is realistic and achieves the land use mix that will make for a handsome addition to
the community.
ACTION REQUESTED
The EDA is asked to review and discuss whether this land use plan and schematic drawing
represents what the EDA intended; and whether this drawing may be unveiled at the Andover
Golf Tournament at Greenhaven on June 30th, We would like to use that opportunity to
introduce the newest thinking of what is the next exciting development in the Andover Station
Area. This helps us build upon the past success that has been seen in the area around
TARGET.

SUBJECT: Consider Contract/Advance Resources Proposal
DATE: June 29, 2004
INTRODUCTION
At the May 25, 2004 the EDA directed staff to discuss a performance based marketing agreement
with Mr. Mike Mulrooney of Advance Resources for Development Incorporated. Staff has had
discussions with Mr. Mulrooney and a proposal is attached for the EDA's consideration.
DISCUSSION
Mr, Mike Mulrooney will be at the meeting to present the attached "Proposal for Services
Related to Andover Station North" from Advance Resources for Development Incorporated. The
proposal is similar to the arrangement with Advance Resources for initial development of
Andover Station, The new proposal proposes various development services through a consulting
fee/commission of 7% of the negotiated selling price of the property sold,
The proposal is performance based as requested by the EDA, and if the EDA decides to proceed
forward with the proposal, staff recommends that the proposal be modified to allow that
exclusions be made for proposals and contacts that City Staff has marketed to and secured
development interest from in Andover Station North. An example of one such exclusion would
be Bruggeman Homes.
ACTION REOUIRED
Receive the presentation from Advance Resources and provide direction on whether or not the
ED wants the proposal to move to a contract
submitted,

RE: PROPOSAL FOR SERVICES RELATED TO ANDOVER STATION NORTH
Dear Jim:
You asked that I follow up with a proposal for services that could be provided in relation
to the development of the Andover Station North property. The following actions are
what I believe should be implemented to promote the development of the property within
a reasonable timeframe and budget.
o
DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTING
The City of Andover and our firm have been very successful working as a team to
promote the development of Andover Station South. It is my understanding that both
parties wish to continue this relationship by having our firm provide the following
services related to the Andover Station North site.
. Strategic Planning
. Direct Marketing
. Networking with facility planners, financial institutions, other players, etc.
. Handle public relations related to development projects
. Business Prospecting
Strategic Planning
The City of Andover has several parties involved in various facets of its economic
development program, These organizations primarily include the EDA, City Council and
staff. The strategic plan for Andover is dynamic and continually changing with the
growth and development pattern of the community, We anticipate that work with staff,
the EDA and City Council will be needed on a continuing basis to effectively design a
development plan for the Andover Station North property that meets the desired
outcomes for the city,

Marketing
We recommend that marketing initiatives be undertaken and directed toward the
commercial and industrial development sectors as well as development professionals.
The marketing program will include direct marketing, promotion and public relations
activities.

Direct marketing will involve targeted mailings, networking and most importantly, one
on one direct contact. The direct marketing program will be targeted toward:
o
. Business corporations
. Housing Developers
. Regional Industry
. State economic development professionals
. Utility Economic Development Executives
. Trade and Business Associations
. Industrial Development Executives
. Industrial Realtors and General Contractors
. Site Selection Consultants
. Members of the finance community,
. The decision-making network including, accountants, attorneys and other
business consultants.
Promotion and Public Relations
We recommend that promotion and public relations be given priority over advertising,
Publicity in local and regional media and trade publications can payoff handsomely. We
anticipate preparing press releases and information for featured articles on a regular basis.

fee will be due and payable at the closing for each project.

SUBJECT: Update on Proposed TIF District 1-4 - Planning/Finance
DATE:
June 29, 2004
(J
INTRODUCTION
The staff held a meeting with the property owners in the area known as Hughs Industrial Park on
June 22, 2004, There were five property owners representing nine of the properties present. Staff
indicated that the process to set up the District must start over and we want to make sure we have
discussed with all potential property owners in the area involved what the opportunity is and
whether they would be interested in being included in the District. We explained that in order to
assist us in qualifying parcels that will be included in the potential new district there will need to
be a visual inspection and report on the properties in the area to determine whether the conditions
present will qualify the property for inclusion in the tax increment district (i.e. site coverage,
building conditions, etc.). It was indicated that the inspection would not be used for anything
other than determining if the site and building will allow the City to qualify the parcel in the
proposed new TIF district. Generally there was acceptance that the City should proceed with the
inspections and analysis of what can be done to set up the District for the entire Hughs and
Westview Industrial Parks,
DISCUSSION
Due to the fact that a few property owners were not present, staff will be individually contacting
the other property owners in the area to determine if they are interested in being included in the
proposed district. Staff is also working with Bond Counsel to complete the necessary paperwork
and bring an item before the City Council on July 6, 2004 calling for a public hearing on August
17,2004 to establish the new Tax Increment Financing District in the area of 161" and Round
Lake Boulevard.
The general feeling that was prevalent at the meeting on June 22nd was that the properties could
greatly benefit from being included in the TIF District and that we should continue in our efforts
to expand the boundaries of the original area that was to be included,
ACTION REOUESTED
No action is needed, this is informational only, Staffwill be preparing the necessary paperwork to
expand the district to the interested owners in the Hughs and Westview Industrial Parks,

SUBJECT: Informational Meeting for Potential New Tax Increment District
DATE:
June 10,2004
Over the past month, the City has been discussing setting up a Tax Increment Financing
District for the industrial zoned properties located north of 161st Avenue and east of Round
Lake Boulevard, The City has decided to hold a meeting to determine the amount of interest in
being included in the new Tax Increment Financing District from all the property owners in the
area
We have scheduled an informational (question and answer) session that will be between 5 -7
') p,m. on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 at the City Hall in Conference Room A. We will be prepared
'-- to answer your questions related to what is involved and how it may help you to become
involved. The time is meant to be flexible, so that if you can not be present until later during
that time period, we will handle your questions on a one-on-one individual basis.
To assist us in qualifying parcels that will be included in the potential new district there will
need to be a visual inspection and report on the property to determine whether the conditions
present will qualify the property for inclusion in the tax increment district (i.e. site coverage,
building conditions, etc.). The inspection will not be used for anything other than determining
if the site and building will allow us to qualify the parcel in the district; and is needed to
complete the necessary paperwork to establish the new Tax Increment Financing District in the
area of 161 st and Round Lake Boulevard.
ACTION REOUESTED
If you are interested in being involved, be aware of the informational session and if you desire
benefits from the TIP District, there may be costs involved to property owners.

SUBJECT: Update on Monument Signs - Planning
DATE:
June 29, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The staff has been working on determining the cost of the monument signs and have found
that the cost will generally exceed $16,750 per monument sign, As you may recall, the goal
of the EDA was to have the monument signs at six or seven locations at entrances into the
Community,
DISCUSSION
Finn cost estimates that we have received are far in excess of what had originally been
envisioned. The staff is concerned that the direction this is taking is not in keeping with the
original budget and also there are other priorities that may want to be considered before these
signs are authorized,
The Staff would prefer to have the green metal entrance signs move forward and receive
approval for construction and installation (cost $6,000 - $7,000) and hold on the monument
style entry signs. There are many costs that could be involved in the marketing of Andover
Station North and staff would prefer to hold on the large costs involved in the monument
signs until the development of Andover Station North has generated enough additional
revenues to support the large expense involved.
ACTION REOUESTED
Staff requests the EDA to discuss the monument signs; and authorize the construction and
installation of the green metal signs; hold on any further work on the monument style signs
until Andover Station North has been nearly fully developed and there is sufficient additional
money to support that cost.
