ANDOVER STATION/COMMERCIAL REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL - RYAN PROPERTIES Executive Director Erar introduced Mr. Palmquist with Ryan Companies who presented a concept plan regarding the relocation of their client, Target Company, to Andover Station. Ryan Companies has expressed great interest in discussing this relocation as they feel this is a more appropriate location for their client in terms of street access, visibility, traffic counts, site improvements and other related marketing considerations. Mr. Erar stated they have had staff meetings with Mike Kelly of the Coon Creek Watershed , District and they would be willing to move the wetland to another part of the site or off site. '\ '-J . Commissioner Jacobson asked how this building would compare to the building in the Riverdale area. Mr. Palmquist stated it would be about the same size. (Commissioner Fred Larson arrived at 7:54 p.m.) Commissioner Jacobson stated he had a concern with the number of Target stores being developed in the area. Mr. Palmquist stated the number of stores is based on consumer want. Commissioner Trude stated she has had residents ask her why they would need another Target in the area, why not look for something different. Commissioner Jacobson asked why they have abandoned the site to the north of Bunker Lake Boulevard. Mr. Palmquist stated there are a couple of things that make the site at Andover Station more appealing to them. There is the appeal of other retail in the area and the aesthetics of the si~. He stated the issue of the substation is a concern and also the look and feel of Target stores. Commissioner Trude asked if they could place Target on another spot on the Andover Station North site. Mr. Palmquist stated they have discussed this and they did not believe it would work. There was more discussion involving the wetland area and the differences between the two sites \ Target is looking at. 0 Lee Brezinka, Assistant Finance Director, presented the budget and beneficial impact to the EDA in regard to selling the land. He presented three comparisons: Original, Target and Retail shops revenue. , <) Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - February 12, 2003 Page 4 Commissioner Orttel asked what would happen to the north section of Andover Station if Target went into the south side. Mr. Neumeister stated he had a call in regard to possibly putting in a strip mall in the northern area of Andover Station. Discussion ensued regarding placement of the buildings and what could be built on the property that is developed. Commissioner Jacobson stated developing Target on the south side of Andover Station seems to destroy the entire concept that was envisioned from the beginning. Mr. Erar stated they are trying to deal with some market realities and people want things centrally located and they are trying to provide a market where people can shop in one area and get their shopping done quickly. Mr. Ulstad stated he would not build any more speculative space without an anchor store in the area because it would take too long to get the space leased out ~. .~ Commissioner Jacobson stated Andover has certain architectural standards for developments and '_J he questioned how Target would comply if they want all their stores to look alike. Mr. Palmquist stated even though they want every Target to look alike, they still comply to each city's standards so it makes every Target unique. Discussion continued regarding the Target site and wetland area. Mr. Mike Quigley stated they have been waiting a long time for something to go in and feel Target will be an asset to their property. He felt this would bring traffic in to support the restaurant and movie theater. Commissioner Trude stated she talked to Marie Arthune from the grocery store and she felt she would lose out on paper and a few other items but felt this would be an aSset because it would bring traffic into the area President Gamache, Commissioners Orttel and Trude and Larson stated they were in support of this and Commissioner Jacobson was not sure. Commissioner Trude stated they need to allow Commissioners Knight and Nowak to take a look at this and make a decision. Mr. Mulroney stated when a Target comes into a community, it is like a stamp of approval and he thinks it would be an asset He would like Target to think of Andover more like a southern suburban rather than a northern suburb and design it with the same type of materials they would use in the southern suburbs. " Mr. Mulroney showed a chart of property ValuatiODS by type and discussed this with the EDA. 0 Commissioner Trude stated they need to talk to Mr. Kelly more in regard to the wetland because they do not want to end up with small areas for development Commissioner Trude stated she has an adult daughter who works part time for Target and the , , '-- / Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes - February 12, 2003 Page 5 City Attorney stated this would not be a conflict of interest for her. Mr. Erar stated they had a consensus that was not nnanimous to move forward with this development and to further investigate the wetland issues. ANDOVER STATION NORTH City Engineer Berkowitz explained the EDA directed Short Elliott Hendrickson. Inc. (SEH) to prepare a Feasibility Report (phase I and Phase ll), Signal Justification Report (139th Lane and Hanson Boulevard), Traffic.Impact Study and Phase II environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the proposed Andover Station North Development. Mr. Berkowitz introduced Mr. Todd Blank ofSEH who presented these reports to the Commission. , "' . Site Layout Scenario and Environmental Phase II Report Findings '-j Mr. Blank discussed the site layout with the Commission. He stated there was a feasibility study done on the site and they had meetings with Mr. Kelley of the Coon Creek Watershed District in regard to the wetlands. With the traffic impact study they took a look at the proposed uses. He stated there would be approximately 12,000 vehicles per day on the north end of the site and 15,000 on the south end of the site. He discussed what impact the development would have on the existing area. Within twenty years, the County is planning to improve Bunker Lake Boulevard and Hanson up to 139th Avenue. Commissioner Jacobson asked if the City would be required to pay for some of the improvements. Mr. Berkowitz stated they would be responsible to pay for some of the costs associated with widening Hanson and the dual left turn lane onto Jay Street would be the city's cost. Discussion was brought up regarding the ball field complex and the sliding hill. There was additional discussion with the quality of the material on the property and if that could be used for fill. Discussion continued regarding the site layout scenario. Mr. Blank stated there is some petroleum contamination based on testing, extending seven feet deep on part of the site and this would need to be taken care of before any development could occur. , ",-) Mr. Blank explained the proposed street improvements of the site. Commissioner Trude asked ifPov's knew about the proposed development of the surrounding land. Mr. Berkowitz stated he did not think they did. Commissioner Trude stated the City should discuss this with them because development could start this year. Mr. Neumeister stated , \.. J Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes-February 12,2003 Page 6 in regard to the timing of this, none of it would go unless there is someone interested in building on the land or if they could develop this in phases. Discussion continued in regard to the development of the site and drainage system. Mr. Berkowitz stated the estimated costs of the improvements for the entire project of phase one and two would be over four million dollars. The costs would include all indirect costs including some contingencies. Mr. Neumeister stated the numbers are large so they need a driving force behind this before they begin developing this. They also need to move fill onto the land before they can develop the site. . EA W Study - Executive Summary Community Development Director Neumeister explained that stafIhas been working with Short Elliot Henrickson (SEH) to prepare an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W). \ Mr. Neumeister discussed the EA W with the Commission. \..j Motion by Trude, Seconded by Orttel to approve the advertisement and release of the EA W document. Motion passed nnanimously. . Park Commission Recommended Ballfield Complex Mr. Berkowitz explained the Park and Recreation Commission has given final approval to the preliminary layout of Andover Station North Outdoor Athletic Center. He stated he talked to Mr. Blackstad on the Park Commission and Mr. Blackstad asked him to mention a few things about the complex. Mr. Berkowitz stated the location of the ballfields and way they are facing is because of the sun and how the balls are played. He also mentioned there was a possibility of changing this to a footballlsoccer complex. The construction would probably take place in 2005 so there would be time to decide what to actually put there. Mr. Berkowitz stated construction estimates for this site would be in the range of 1.5 million dollars. Mr. Lindahl from the Andover Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the site layout with the Commission. , "-) Commissioner Trude stated they needed to watch the depth of the collection pond next to the park and if they would need to fence it in. Mr. Lindahl stated to put a fence around it would be a waste and detriment. He stated a buffer would be doable. " J , Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting , - Minutes - February 12, 2003 Page 7 REVOLVING LOAN PROGRAM -ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Executive Director Erar explained a request was made to the EDA to consider providing financial assistance to a local business in the form of a loan. The EDA directed staff to research a revolving loan fund. Mr. Erar discussed the loan program with the Commission. Mr. Larson stated small businesses are very volatile and he was not sure about this because it is risky. Commissioner Jacobson stated he talked to Commissioner Knight and neither of them would be interested in something like this. Commissioner Trude stated she was in favor of this because it bas worked in other cities she bas been in. Commissioner Orttel stated it could work but is not for every type of business. He stated he would like to have the entire board at the meeting before decisions were made. Mr. Erar stated this could be brought back to the next meeting. OTHER BUSINESS , ... j There was none.

Meetings have been held with representatives of Ryan Company, United Properties and the Coon Creek Watershed to begin the process of reconfiguring the wetland to accommodate Target. Engineering work has been ordered by United Properties to redesign the wetland and begin preparation of an amended wetland mitigation plan, revised storm water () management plan, and a revised site plan for Andover Station. In order to allow United Properties the time to complete these activities, and negotiate an acceptable agreement with Ryan Company that provides for EDA and City approvals, an extension of the current option agreement will be necessary. DISCUSSION These negotiating points for the extension of an Option Agreement with United Properties have been discussed with Keith Ulstad, and he has tentatively agreed to them as a basis for extending the existing option agreement and establishing a new option agreement for the remaining property. I have indicated that these points would have to be agreed to by the EDA Board and consequently have made no guaranteed representation regarding approval by the EDA Board: . Subject to EDA Board approval, the EDA would tentatively agree to extend the original commercial option agreement for 6 months beyond April 15, 2003 ending on October 15, 2003. All other terms agreed to in the First Amendment to Development Agreement would remain as is. 1bis parcel is referred to as the "release parcel" in the agreement. . Upon successful approval of a wetland mitigation plan, any new land created by this mitigation plan would be offered to United Properties at the purchase price of $3.75 per sq. ft. ($.55 per sq. ft increase) on the following conditions; 1bis option would be offered for 6 months and would coincide with the extended time frame for the original option ending October 15, 2003. At which time, United , Properties must submit an approved plan for redevelopment of Andover Station '-~ Phase II (the release parcel + newly created parcel resulting from the mitigation / '\ plan). '-~ In exchange for granting this option and extension of the original option time frame, and subject to regulatory approval by the Coon Creek Watershed for wetland mitigation and replacement: . United Properties agrees to underwrite the full cost of engineering for a wetland mitigation plan, an amended grading plan and revised storm water management plan to satisfy regulatory agency approvals. . United Properties agrees to financially underwrite all physical development costs associated with approved wetland mitigation actions, storm water management, excavation, fill, internal roads, agreed upon site amenities and grading activities in Andover Station in compliance with regulatory approvals. . The EDA agrees to provide United Properties with an off-site wetland mitigation area to be located in Andover Station North at no cost to United Properties. Compliance actions and physical development activities associated with off-site wetland mitigation would be wholly assumed by United Properties. Land designated for off-site wetland mitigation in Andover Station North would be designated by the EDA Board. On a completely different note, it has been suggested that the EDA should consider allowing the option agreement to lapse with United Properties thus tenninating the option on April 15, 2003 and /' \ allow the EDA to negotiate directly with Ryan Companies. This suggestion has been discussed by 0 my office, Finance and Community Development and each office feels that this course of action would be ill-advised for a number of different reasons. 1. United Properties has already expended a considerable amount of time and financial resources to market the property and has represented itself as a fair and honest broker, sensitive to the needs of EDA. 2. Subject to recent EDA direction to move forward with wetland mitigation and negotiating a final deal with Ryan Company, United Properties has already expended financial resources for engineering and planning work associated with wetland mitigation and a revised site plan. 3. United Properties has been working in good faith with the EDA to negotiate a deal with Ryan Company to bring the Target Greatland store to the site. 4. United Properties has been instrumental in mediating an agreement between Festival Foods and Ryan Company on the grocery store non-compete clause to allow Target Greatland to locate not only in Andover Station, but in the previous location in Andover Station North as the non-compete agreement also affects EDA property in Andover Station North. 5. Changing course at this point in time would require the EDA to assume the developer's role in this project and brings additional considerations to the table. Negotiating directly with Ryan Company creates additional cost and time implications for the EDA and has the effect of weakening our position in negotiating with Ryan Company and Festival Foods. . \ \._~ 6. Finally, from a credibility/ethical perspective, it creates some ill-advised perception " issues of duplicitous treatment of United Properties now that a big box tenant has been ',J brought to the table. Word travels very fast in these business circles, where business arrangements are based on principles of trust and credibility. Deciding not to extend the option agreement to United Properties due to issues of non-performance is a legitimate and valid reason. However, choosing not to extend an option agreement on the basis of cutting out the broker/real estate developer to obtain a greater margin of return would appear suspect. In review of these issues, staff would strongly recommend against considering changing cow:se with respect to the EDA's business relationship with United Properties. BUDGET IMPACT The higher price agreed to by United Properties for any new land created by the wetland mitigation will financially benefit the EDA. In exchange for the option extension, United Properties has agreed to underwrite all costs associated with wetland mitigation and the physical redevelopment of the site to suit Target Greatland. The EDA assumes no additional costs for any of these activities and will realize additional revenues generated with the creation of new developable property. ACTION REQUIRED The EDA Board has already provided the Executive Director with the authority to extend the option agreement on the 9 acre residential piece of property south of Station Parkway. The option \ extension has been verbally discussed with Keith Ulstad and an agreement is in the process of being '~' prepared. With respect to the option agreement discussed in this staff report, the EDA Board is respectfully requested to authorize the Executive Director to negotiate a 6 month option extension agreement on the original agreement on property described as the "release parcel". In addition, the EDA Board is requested to approve a six month Option Agreement on any developable property created through wetland mitigation activities subject to the terms described in this staff report. submitted, 0 6) , , ) CITY OF ANDOVER 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD NW. .

United Properties has engaged RLK Engineering to develop a site plan that takes into account a revised wetland plan and storm water management pond. DISCUSSION , , ',_/ A revised site plan for Andover Station will be presented to the EDA Board at the meeting. A . preliminary review of the engineering work in progress indicates that the EDA will potentially realize an additional 125,000 sq. ft. of developable property in Andover Station by relocating portions of the pond both on-site and off-site. Using a figure of $3.75 sq. ft., based on 125,000 sq. ft., the EDA could realize an additional $468,750 in land sales, not including additional park dedication fees and tax increment revenues generated on this newly created property. In addition, United Properties has tentatively agreed to underwrite all engineering and physical development costs associated with wetland mitigation on Andover Station. In exchange, the EDA would need to provide land for off-site mitigation in Andover Station North in areas that already have limited marketability due to overhead power lines, proximity to the WDE landfill site, and areas running adjacent to substation land owned by Great River Energy. A proposed wetland mitigation plan will be presented to the EDA at the meeting and will be presented by staff and United Property representatives. BUDGET IMPACT The creation of additional developable property in Andover Station will allow the EDA to generate significant land sale revenues, increased tax increment revenues from resulting development and generate additional park dedication fees. " \ , ,----../ ACTION REQUIRED I EDA Board review and preliminary approval is requested for the revised commercial-retail site plan and wetland mitigation plan.

The EDA directed staff to research a revolving loan fund and provide additional information to the EDA for further consideration. \ '--) DISCUSSION Staff conducted a survey of neighboring cities to determine ifthey were providing some form of loan program that could be utilized by local businesses. Currently the Cities of Coon Rapids, Ham Lake, Blaine, and Ramsey have revolving loan fund programs (some attached) and the city of Anoka is considering establishing a loan fund. Each Cities program is a little different but all programs evolve around enhancing tax base and job creation. Attached is a draft "Andover Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Guidelines" and application form.

CITY OF COON RAPIDS COMMUMTYDEVELOPMENTBLOCKGRANTLOAN POLICY STA TEMENT PREAMBLE The City of Coon Rapids participates with other Anoka County communities in the County-wide C.D.B.G. Entitlement Program. As a result, each year the City receives an allocation of Housing and Urban Development funds through the C.D.B.G. allocation system. The City Council has allocated C.D.B.G. funds for loans to small businesses within the community, primarily for the acquisition of machinery and equipment. As the loans are repaid, the proceeds become available to the City for further reallocation. "\ In most instances, the companies seeking C.D.B.G. loans are new or relatively young companies '-/ that do not have an established track record of financial stability. Older companies with longer track records and financial stability normally can obtain their financing from traditional sources such as banks. Recently formed companies have more difficulty in obtaining appropriate financing, and in many instances end up using what would otherwise be funds for operating expenses. This can result in a shortage in cash flow. and make the possibility of failure of the company much greater. Assisting these companies with low-interest, long-term loans gives the companies a better oppor- tunity to succeed, thus resulting in additional jobs and economic stability for the community. PURPOSE The Council has determined that a written policy statement is desirable and that general program guidelines be established. These guidelines are being adopted to provide a process for the review of requests for C.D.B.G. loans and are intended to establish the general criteria for evaluating such requests. The City will apply the criteria on an individual project basis to determine whether the project meets the program's goal of assisting the economic development of the community by creating employment opportunities that benefit low and moderate income family persons. The final decision on approval or rejection of a C.D.B.G. loan wi!! be m2de by the City CO:Jnc;!. The Council specifically reserves the right to approve or reject each project. '\ ~ "~ F " CRITERIA .\. _J 1. Eliaibilitv Businesses receiving loans through the program must: ~ Be a for-profit corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship. ~ Be a "small business" as defined in the regulations of the United States Small Business Administration. ~ Demonstrate that the cash flow is sufficient to cover the proposed debt service and show a positive net worth. ~ Create a sufficient number and type of jobs that benefit low and moderate family income persons to justify participation in this program. 2. Leveraaina Privale Investment In order to receive consideration for a C.D.B.G. loan, the applicant must maximize the use of private lender financing. 3. Financina Gap The applicant must demonstrate the existence of a financing gap by documenting the " \ following: ,-_J ~ Inadequate private lender financing. The business cannot oblain the necessary amount of private lender financing 10 complete the acquisition of machinery and equipment without the use of C.D.B.G. funds. ~ Inability to pay market interest rates or term requirements. The business is unable to pay the market interest rate or the market terms are unfavorable. ~ Inadequate equity. The owners of the business do not have sufficient equity to invest in the purchase of machinery and equipment. 4. Creation of Permanent.

" DISCUSSION '-~ An attached letter from the applicant provides information about the operation and aesthetics of the "flower marts". A promotional brochure and photographs were included in the packet to provide additional information. The applicant will also be present to provide background information and to answer questions. Andover Station Design Standards Specific design standards above and beyond the Zoning Ordinance were adopted by the Economic Development Authority (EDA) to regulate Andover Station. The EDA reviews all development proposals for conformance with these standards. The Andover Station Design Standards do not allow temporary structures. However, an exemption to the design standards is provided for special sales events. Please see the following excerpts from the Andover Station Design Standards: Section 2.07 Minimum Standards . Temporary Structures No temporary building or other temporary structure shall be permitted on any lot; provided, 'I however that trailers, temporary construction buildings, and the like shall be permitted for '----- construction purposes during the period of construction or alteration of a permanent building. Such structures shall be placed as inconspicuously as practicable, shall cause no inconvenience to owners or other occupants of other lots, and shall be removed not later than ~) 30 days after the date of substantial completion for beneficial occupancy of the building in connection with which the temporary structure was used. Section 5.02 Special Events The provisions of these Design Standards do not apply to and do not prohibit periodic, non- permanent business promotions and special sales events conducted on a lot by the owner or occupant. In no event shall any sign be placed on any lot or parcel of land for a period to exceed thirty (30) days out of a twelve (12) month period. Staff's View It is Staff's view that temporary greenhouses draw more people than would otherwise be attracted to the commercial development. As a result, all of the commercial businesses within the development will benefit, both directly from spin-off business, and indirectly from increased exposure. Provided the temporary greenhouse operation is clean, well organized and an attractive addition to the area, this is a win-win situation. Location " '-~ The proposed location would be in the first double row of parking stalls along the east side of the Festival Foods parking area. Festival Foods, United Properties, and Linder's Greenhouses are amenable to this location. Several locations for the proposed structure have been discussed. The proposed location was chosen for the following reasons: 1. Utilizing a double row of parking will allow the operation to be established without encroaching into required drive lanes because the structure is 21 feet wide and a single row of parking stalls are only 18 feet deep. 2. The location will meet applicable setbacks, including the 50 foot setback from county roads. 3. The location promotes parking along the outer edge of the parking area for greenhouse customers in stalls that are typically not used by customers of the grocery store. 4. The location avoids curb islands, fire hydrants and light fixtures that presently exist. \ ",-) -2 - ~ Additional Comments Ifthe EDA determines that the proposed greenhouse operation is permissible, the Planning Commission and City Council will review a Special Use Permit application and apply appropriate conditions, one of which may be to allow a one year trial period. ACTION REQUESTED The EDA is asked to determine if the proposed temporary greenhouse operation will be allowed to be considered for the proposed special use permit.

The request is being made to be able tooperate a Linder's "Flower Mart" at the Festival Foods Store at 2218 Bunker Lake Blvd NW. I have attempted to provide enough information for you to complete the process. I hope this is what you need to '0 process and issue the appropriate permit. ,,-~ . ABOUT LINDER'S: Linder's is a family business and has been growing and selling high quality flower and vegetable plants for over 90 years. We grow most everything we sell other than nursery stock, some perennials, and specialty items, and have two large growing locations: St. Paul and Lake Elmo. During the last fourteen years we have developed our "Flower Marts" arid have placed them throughout the Twin Cities. In 2002 we operated at thirty eight different locations. During our season we sell all types of annuals, perennials, hanging baskets and other products for use in the home garden. Because we are well known as a quality grower, many gardeners seek us outto . supply their planting needs. Locating in areas around the cities enables us to serve our customers better. It is also an opportunity for neighboring business owners to provide their customers with quality flower and vegetable plants conveniently nearby. Our customers have given us a tremendous welcome and look forward to our retllrning each spring. We grow quality bedding plants as well as other seasonal products for sale both wholesale and retail. Linder's guarantees all our products and because we are a year-round business, our customers can come to useven after our remote "Flower Marts" have closed for the seaSon. We take great pride in our "Flower Marts" and are proud to display our name on them and carefully sign them to identify ourselves. The photos show our "Flower Marts" at various locations for you to see how we look. We are very proud of our reputation and do everything possible to be the best in this market. . '\ '-J 4' .. - - fl'~74'eSeeu 7~e~?tNaLefe :~ THE MARKET: We feel that your location may be an excellent place to locate a Linder's "Flower Mart". This could be an opportunity to serve our customers in your community with a nearby convenient shopping location where they can buy quality plant materials from a local Twin Cities grower. We are experienced in this kind of operation and feel that we are doing an excellent service for our customers and our surrounding communities. LOCATION: The area needed is typically 138 ft by 21 ft. (about 2,898 sq. ft). This size includes the garden center itself and the patio areas connected to the Flower Mart. We will locate in a place that is some distance from the front of the other businesses and out of the main stream of traffic, both pedestrian and vehicular. We want to give the Flower Mart visibility to the public without obstructing the , visibility of the other neighboring businesses, and at the same time have good visibility in order to attract customers into the lot. TRAFFIC: With regard for vehicle traffic, the "Flower Mart" is placed in the selected location in order to keep any traffic disruption to a minimum. The patio areas at the front and back serve to protect the "Flower Mart" from vehicles and let the drivers see around the garden center. The patio fence is about 4 ft high and surrounds the "Flower Mart" on two sides. This design has been used at our "Flower Marts" for several years and we have yet to have had a problem with vehicle movement. , , We feel that this is a safe way to deal with vehicles. Placed in this manner, vehicles cannot park . I adjacent to the "Flower Mart". The circulation of vehicles in the parking lot will not be adversely '-/ affected by the "Flower Mart" due to its location in the lot. PARKING: . We have designed the "Flower Mart" as we did because we feel that this is the most professional design and uses the available space to its maximum potential. Linder's has operated "Flower Marts" successfully for fourteen years in communities surrounding the Twin Cities. It has been our experience that the traffic and parking in the lots shared by the "Flower Mart" is not affected considerably due to the sharing of customers with our property owner. We bring in many customers but they are easily handled by the size of the lots we occupy. We do not want to create a congestive atmosphere for our customers or neighboring businesses. The "Flower Mart" generates business activity which varies during the business day with the most activity occurring in late afternoon and evening. There is also business activity occurring on the weekends with the most on Saturdays. Having done this type of operation for fourteen years, it would be safe to say that the average amount in the "Flower Mart" at anyone time is about five to six customers. The maximum amount of customers may be up to ten. There are certainly times when special sales occur that higher levels of activity may occur, but we have never seen so much that a problem has occurred in relation to the amount of cars or pedestrian traffic. \ V -~- , , ) THE "FLOWER MART": '~ The typical "Flower Mart" itself is 78 ft long and 21 ft wide and 12 ft high. There are patio/display areas in the frontand rear of the "Flower Mart". The entire size is 138 ft by 21 ft With total of 2,898 sq feet. See the attached drawing. The size and configuration can be adjusted somewhat in order to meet the available space. The "Flower Mart" itself is a high quality greenhouse structure which sits on the pavement and is held down with an internal system which uses water for ballast. It is a comniercially made unit, which is manufactured by a Minnesota company (Poly-Tex, located in Castle Rock, MN). It is a very good looking structure which we have used for many years. ADVERTISING: Linder's has established an extensive advertising program, which includes a large presence on television, with commercials and other appearances by our staff. The Linder's name is synonymous with quality, selection, and service. Our two year warranty on most products has established us as a leader in this industry. We also use radio, both major newspapers, local papers, brochures, and other mailings to convey our message. We make extensive efforts to bring in customers so we can be successful as well as all other merchants. SIGNAGE: The signage for a typical "Flower Mart" is shoWn on the drawing. This is what we believe to be an , excellent signage plan. We have tried to design the appearance and signing of our stores to be not I only eye catching but professional looking as well. We are very conscious of how we look and do "J business. We would comply with the current sign requirements of the City of Andover. UTILITIES: Our only utility requirements are reasonable access to water for the plants and 110 volt electricity (on 24 hours) which runs the cash register and other small items in the "Flower Mart". This power typically comes from a light pole in the lot nearest the "Flower Mart. We have no lighting permanently installed in the "Flower Mart". Linder's takes away all discarded material and unnecessary items. We strive to maintain a clean and professional appearance. Water isthe other utility we need. This is needed to care for the plant material at the "Flower Mart". The source of the water is not specifically identified at this point. Hopefully a source can be located nearby or from the underground watering system. We only need the equivalent of a standard gardening hose to water the plant material. THE SPRING SELLING SEASON: The selling season to be from April 15 thru July 15 (weather dependent). We typically begin preparations to set up all of the Linder's "Flower Marts" in the middle of March. We request the . necessary time to build the "Flower Mart" before the season begins. We first deliver the necessary equipment to the location and then begin setting-up the "Flower Mart" when the weather is , \ permissible. The "Flower Mart" is taken down and totally removed on the closing day of the "-~ season. We totally clean and sweep the location in the parking lot so that once we are gone there is no evidence of our having been there. -{- "- , -, ) OUR HOURS: Our hours are 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM weekdays and 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM on most weekends.
