ANDOVER STATION NORTH - RFP PRESENTATION
Elizabeth Kautz, Executive Vice President of the Hartford Group, presented their
proposal noting their company is a group of integrated real estate companies that provide
services to facilitate the development of large, mixed-use projects. They implement the
entire development process from land acquisition to continued property management.
Ms. Kautz gave an overview of the principals of the company and introduced M~ggie
Horn, Director of Marketing, and Larry Johnson, Vice President of Development
Services.
Ms. Kautz explained that their plan provides for medium-density housing, employment, a
park-and-ride facility, preservation of natural resources, etc. The park area can be
enhanced with paths and sidewalks, coming off of Hanson they would have big box
development and to the north commercial/retail. Senior housing would be appropriate
along with medium density row houses. Going south the building would have retail on
the first floor with residential on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors.
Ms. Kautz reviewed their company's experience including a 52-acre development in
Apple Valley, an 81-acre development in Maplewood and a 42-acre site in Lino Lakes.

October 7, 2003 - Minutes
Page 2
Commissioner Jacobson asked if they actually purchase the entire parcel and develop it
or do they become a consultant. Ms. Kautz explained that they would put the landunder
contract, work with staff and then design and build. They have others who are investors.
For the commercial portion they would bring in retailers and sell them the land. They
would, however, go through the entire approval process and bear those costs.
Commissioner Jacobson asked if they are aware of the neighboring landfill and the Great
River Energy site. Ms. Kautz stated they are and didn't feel they would be a problem.
Commissioner Trude asked if the Hartford Group would be amenable to having a local
developer buy part of the property. Ms. Kautz stated yes. Commissioner Trude asked if
it would be difficult to market the property because it is not at a m~or intersection. Ms.
Kautz stated that it would not be because of all of the amenities that would be offered.
Commissioner Trude noted that some developers in the city felt rejected because they
were not able to get their proposals in on time. She would like other people to be able to
submit proposals before a decision is made. Mr. Neumeister explained that everyone was
given ample time and he even extended the deadline 3 additional weeks. Commissioner
Jacobson noted that proposals could be submitted up to the Thursday prior to the next
I EDA meeting.
Mr. Dickinson suggested scheduling a meeting for October 21, 2003 to review the
proposals and give staff direction.
Motion by Jacobson, seconded by Trude to schedule a special meeting for October 21,
2003 at 6:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Dickinson stated that staff will
make sure that this is the only item on the agenda.
ANDOVER STATION RESIDENTIAL -DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
Mr. Neumeister explained that Bruggeman Homes would like to discuss the garage size
issue with the EDA. It was agreed that they would try to increase the size to 400 square
feet and construct storage bins in all of the garages. Staff believes this is acceptable as
under the terms of a PUD, this change could be approved. Another issue is the down
payment. Bruggeman would like to reduce the down payment to $100,000 from
$300,000, creating a balance due of $800,000. United Properties has discounted their
proceeds and that increases the amount the EDA would receive. Staff finds this to be
acceptable as the EDA would still be receiving final payment by April 15, 2004.
Bruggeman has also requested that the Phase I study be updated at city cost. Staff feels
this is not significant. They would like the cost of the Phase II study to be equally shared.

A third request is to indemnify Bruggeman for a 3-year period. lIDs is the same period
of time offered to previous potential developers of the city and the City Attorney is
supportive. Bruggeman has also requested that the EDA help de-list the site from the
Superfund site and have the consent decree removed from the title. The City Attorney
has indicated that the city is not legally capable of facilitating these actions; however, the
city can provide a supportive role for Bruggeman.
Commissioner Trude stated that the only item she is not in favor of is the garage size.
City code for garage size has been 440 square feet for 20-23 years.
Greg Schlink, Bruggeman Homes, explained that the way the site lays out, in order to get
the garages wider would be to encroach on the setbacks.
Commissioner Jacobson stated that he would rather lose green space than have smaller
garages. Paul Bruggeman explained that their proposal is similar to what they have done
in Forest Lake. They are also building these units with 360 square foot garages in Lino
Lakes and Inver Grove Heights.
/ Motion by Jacobson, seconded by Orttel to approve Items 2 and 3 as presented by staff.
Motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Jacobson, seconded by Knight that the EDA prefers 440 square foot garages
and in the PUD process will consider the encroachment into the green space. Motion
carried unanimously.
ANDOVER STATION NORTH -APPRAISAL SUMMARY

$3.00 per square foot for light industrial; $1.50 per square foot for low density

ENDMENT OF DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANT
Executive Director Era xplained the document in the Commission packet specified a revised
understanding between Ta et Corporation, United Properties, Festival Foods and the City
Economic Development Auto 'ty as it relates to the non-compete grocery store provision
incorporated within the original claration of Restrictive Covenant dated August 6,2002.
The Original non-compete restrictive co enant prevented a competing grocery store facility from
being constructed on EDA owned property. n order for a new Target Store to be constructed,
the various parties needed to amend the origin covenant with regard to modifying the
noncompete provisions to meet the needs of both estival Foods and Target.
Mr. Erar explained through several months of very com ex negotiation that began last year,
United Properties and City staff worked with Target and Fe ivai Foods to develop an acceptable
revision to the noncompete provisions.

Commissioner Orttel stated there is no mention of time, which is unusual. Mr. Erar plained if
Festival foods were to cease to exist, it would be twenty- four months before Target could and to
a Super Target. Mr. Erar explained this only explains what Target can and cannot do witli. the
store.
Motion carried unanimously.
.. MARKETING STRATEGY/ANDOVER STATION NORTH
Executive Director Erar explained the development of a site layout for Andover Station North is
at a point where the EDA Board will need to provide some direction to staff regarding the
marketing of this property. There has been and continues to be interest in developing the site by
both large and small business interests.
Staff has had discussions with several interested parties that are in the beginning stages of
expressing interest in either acquiring individual parcels or large-scale tracts of property to
develop a master plan for the entire site. Staff would like to engage the EDA Board on this topic

to being the process of determining how to deal with prospective development interests.
Commissioner Jacobson stated the more interest they have, the better for the City. Mr. Nowak
agreed.
Mr. Neumeister explained how the process for development would begin and how they would
pick the developers.
Mr. Erar stated United Properties and other developers think of the frontage area as prime space
and they may want to keep this property for themselves.
Commission consensus was to go with the RFP and bring a list to the EDA for additions for a good
business mix.
J) CUSS EDA POSITION ON LEASE REVENUE BONDS
City Fina e Director Dickinson explained on June 4, 2003, the City Council declared its intent
to support th suance of lease revenue bonds for the new Andover Community Center. It was
suggested that as e EDA will be called upon to issue the lease revenue bonds for this project, I
\ that the EDA shoul scuss its position relative to the issuance of these bonds.
I
I
The issuance of Lease Reve e Bonds by the EDA will not affect EDA finances as debt service
payments will come from a myr' d of facility revenue resources, including YMCA Lease
revenues, advertising, user fees, co ssions, rentals and capital campaign pledges, with any
differences in operating revenues and e enditures appropriated annually by the City Council
through a separate City tax levy. Financia oformas prepared by the City finance department
suggests that the facility will need minimal pu c subsidy for the first several years of operation.
The level of public subsidy under a Lease Revenu ond may be adjusted annually in response
to rising or declining operating revenues generated by e new Community Center.
The EDA is authorized under state statute to serve as the iSSUl

rar stated that without the reconfiguration Walgreens would not be coming in. He
also exp ed that the 180 days would allow Target to move forward with the project.
The only delay' ith the development of the site.
Commissioner Jacobson note t the original idea for cleaning up the junkyards was to
get that property back on the tax rol s. 's still a plus for the city because it was an
eyesore when the junkyards were there.
Motion by Jacobson, seconded by Orttel that we approve t uest for extension on the
option to purchase the property in Andover Station South until no
2004.
Motion carried unanimously.
.. APPROVAL OF THE RFP FOR ANDOVER STATION NORTH
Mr. Neumeister explained that staff has prepared a Request for Proposals for Andover
Station North and the EDA is requested to review the RFP.
\ The following change was suggested: Page 4, Item #5 should read "Possible
implementation partnerships". Commissioner Trude asked what area would be
redeveloped. Mr. Neumeister explained that we might need to look at screening on the
Great River Energy site. "Redvelopment" could be taken out.
Commissioner Jacobson felt that this is geared toward large firms. He wants to make
sure we don't exclude the possibility of individuals coming in. Commissioner Orttel
agreed, stating that we could have a certain number of lots available to the general public.
Commissioner Knight asked who would reconfigure the property. Mr. Neumeister noted
that we would have a master plan for the property.
Commissioner Trude noted that on Page 3 one of the items under what the development
proposal will include is "Life cycle, single family and multi-family homes...". She asked
if we are trying to create another downtown Andover. Mr. Neumeister explained that in
order to meet the requirements of the Metropolitan Council we have to have a residential
component. Commissioner Jacobson suggested that it be changed to "housing
component".
The EDA agreed to the changes and suggestions to the RFP.

The Andover Economic Development Authority of Andover, Minnesota (pop. 30,000)
seeks an experienced developer or team of developers to undertake full or partial
development of a master planned development known as "Andover Station North",
located north of Bunker Lake Boulevard, just west of Hanson Boulevard. "Andover
Station North" is a continuation of the area to the south of Bunker Lake Boulevard that
contains the City's primary retail and entertainment center and office park. The City is
currently finalizing the development plans for this area and is ready to embark upon this
next large development site that the City of Andover Economic Development Authority
owns. The City of Andover has the highest median household income in Anoka County.
Located within two miles of the site are several thousand housing units with more being
added at the rate of two hundred per year.
.,
The entire development area of "Andover Station North" consists of approximately 90
acres, with the net usable area (exclusive of roadways, park, ponds, wetlands, and power
line easement) being approximately 40 acres.
The zoning of the site is currently General Business (GB) and a portion will be set aside
for medium density residential development and will need to be "contract rezoned". The
GB zone provides for a wide variety of businesses including retail trade and services,
office and light manufacturing and similar uses. The City expects high quality urban
architecture and use of durable building materials. Maintaining architectural integrity
throughout the development is a priority all of which is covered in the Design Guidelines
for Andover Station that will be covenanted on the property.
In this mixed-use development area, it is the City's overall goal to have a developer
provide for:
.:. Housing Development
.:. Employment Opportunities (light industrial)
.:. Commercial Development
.:. Recreational Opportunities
.:. Park and Ride Facilities
)
-3'-

:J RE: Request for Proposals for Andover Station North October 16, 2003
:J Mr. Neumeister, i
:::J I
TOLD Development and Landform are pleased to be able to team to present this proposal in response to your
:J request on the Andover Station North project. It is our understanding that you are looking to engage a Master
Developer to contemplate the integrated design and development of this 90 acre mixed use project located in the
:J Northwest quadrant of Bunker Lake Road and Hanson Boulevard.
:J We have assembled this team in specific response to the desire of the EDA to facilitate a mixed-use project that
creates a distinct sense of place while generating economic growth for the community. This team in particular has
:J extensive experience in a wide variety of mixed use applications, including vertical mixed use projects, many of
which were referenced in previous discussions. It is this specific experience, combined with a strong connection to
:J the community infused into the design team, that makes this team best suited to the project.
:::J It is our desire to work through a community-based feedback process, with all vested stakeholders, to explore the
intricacies of this site and complete a development agreement that facilitates the overall project. If accepted, we
:J would welcome the opportunity to present our concepts and development approach to the EDA at your conven- ;
ience.

~ Landform + StudioWorks are dedicated to interweaving the broader issues of the built landscape with the intimate scale of
our habitable spaces. We are currentiy working on a wide range of community-based planning projects, including the
::J Mendota Heights Town Center; and development of The Village in Lino Lakes, working with a plan originally developed by
Calthorpe and Associates. Several of our recent urban design projects have been recognized and awarded grants
:J from the Metropolitan Council Livable Communities program. We understand the value of careful planning, at any
scale, and the need for a thoughtful and innovative design process.
:J Our team is well qualified to lead the public process & communications for your project Our community-based
:J planning approach makes us ideally sutted to this work. We like people and:
:J . facilitate communications and open community dialogue;
. enjoy the public interaction, even the more "spirited" exchanges;
:J . work with diverse communities from Minneapolis-Sf Paul to New York & LA;
. encourage an inclusive grass roots approach;
:J . understand how to encourage public input without slowing down the progess of the project
:J
::J Our community planning process techniques are as varied as the communtties and projects we wor!< on, and we will
an approach that wor!< for you. These tools, when combined with attentive active listening, thoughtful and factual answers,
:J simple, understandable graphics, and honestiy expressed recommendations, have proven to be effective in moving proj-
ects forward wtth the greatest possible community support. Examples of our community communications tools include:
:J . workshops & charettes: hands-on drawing, idea generation, brainstorming, cooperative dialogue
. open houses: for broad public exposure and engendering communfty-wide support
::J . focus meetings: to address specific issues, especially effective with single interest groups
:J . sUTVeys: to gain the participation of the "silent" majority who may not come to meetings
. opinion sampling, such as "dot-mocracy": to set priorities or demonstrate consensus
::J . newsletters and local press: to keep lines of communication open with the broadest public support
::J Our studio uses a unique set of land use planning and analysis tools, so that our wor!< is based on an in<lepth under-
::J standing of the "zettegeist" the uniqueness of "place" that is so often overlooked in our rush to "globalize". We go
beyond the mar!<et analysts who can tell us where the trends are headed; and beyond the ideologues who have a strong
::J but sometimes formulaic approach to planning. We strongly believe that is the understanding, the uncovering, and the
:J building upon the unique qualities of a place that will ensure tt's long term success. In order to understand the specific influ-
ence and pressures which are acting on a given stte or development area, we undertake:
:J . extensive research on the site, the immediate community, and larger surrounding region;
. mapping of influences, physical, historical, political and economic;
:J . graphic analysis of these elements, both quantitative and qualitative;
. open dialogue with the business communfty and major property owners;
:J . consultation with market analysts, developers and real estate experts when necessary;
. concept development including brainstorming, bfu~sky ideas, precedents;
::J . comparison of new concepts to local and national successfuf and proven modefs;
:J . mapping and testing of specific fand-use scenarios for physical/fit': economic feasibility, and political viability.
:J Finally, we apply our archttectural skills to develop land-use plans in a 3-D model. We believe that only when you are
able to visualize a plan fully implemented and communicate that vision to others, can you be sure that the design guide-
=:J lines, zoning codes, and other tools used to shape and regulate development will actually produce the results intended.

;:] 8. Statement of pr~ect We have a unique understanding of this development project and the
Understan ing importance of this project to the City of Andover. Our team is currently
;:] working on projects in Andover, including the Clocktower Commons
project across from City Hall. We understand the challenges of devel-
:J opment in this City and we appreciate the development opportunities
:J this community offers.
:J This team is infused with strong local awareness at almost every level.
Darren Lazan, Co-Principal in Charge, the lead project designer, and
:J local builders interested in individual parcels are all Andover residents. "
Mr. Lazan was married last year in an outdoor service at the Courtyards z
-
U of Andover, and is involved in local athletics and community activities. c:
w
This flavor will be instilled throughout the design and development w
z
;:] team. There is no one more qualified to work with Andover to bring to -
"
reality the development the City is seeking - a unique mix of uses that z
:J will work on these sites. It is this local flavor that will also ensure a w
sense of place is created in this development and that it will meet the w
::J a:
needs of Andover residents while meeting the City's economic devel- ::J
opment goals. I-

Statement of Philosophy Our approach to development and planning is both community sensitive '"

z
of the uniqueness of each site that allows us to realize the potential in '"

::J Master Planning The Andover Station North development will be a significant develop-
ment within the City and should be carefully planned to consider the
::J overall development of the site now and into the foreseeable future. We
understand the value of careful planning, at any scale, and the need for
::J a thoughtful, innovative, and inclusive design process. We apply our
design and graphic skills to bring this understanding to life, illustrating
~ the vision we develop together. Only when you are able to visualize a
::J plan and communicate that vision to others, can you be sure that your
master plan will actually produce the design results intended.
::J "
As the master developer for this project, we will also work the the City z
-
~ to involve and include adjacent property owners, and interested local c:
UJ
tenant businesses, and local builders-developers. We will work to find UJ
z
::J the most appropriate sites within the overall master plan for their proj- -
"
ects, either as tenants or as sub-developers. z
::J UJ
Project Partnerships: Most of our work involves private sector and public sector partnerships, UJ
::J c:
Public & Private and we have developed a unique expertise in moving these projects =>
f-
::J forward. Our design methodology is driven by our community and ()
place-based approach to the design process. We will work with the City UJ
f-
of Andover to move ahead with this project and the at the same time, -
::J :I:
to involve the larger community and specific stakeholders. Examples ()
c:
::J of "techniques" we have used in the past include: <<
UJ
::J - workshops during the planning process: hands-on drawing, brainstorming a.
- open houses: at the conclusion of the Master Plan or design phase for broad <<
()
public exposure and engendering community-wide support U>
::J "
- focus meetings: if specific concems arise addressing specific issues z
<<
::J - newsletters & press releases: as needed to keep community informed & -'
keep lines of communication open for the broadest public support z
::J "
-
These techniques, when combined with attentive active listening, '"
::J thoughtful and factual answers, clear understandable graphics, and UJ
"
honestly expressed recommendations, have proven to be effective in z
::J moving projects forward with the greatest possible community support. <<
In
c:
::J =>
Implementation & Most mixed use projects require a phased build-out to respond to the "
::J z
Phasing realities of both the construction process and the market place . We -
z
believe that this project lends itself well to a phased approach. We will z
::J <<
work closely with the City to plan and coordinate a phased building pro- -'
a.
::J gram which will reduce negative impacts on traffic, area residents, the
new park, and existing businesses. Our project plan will include a phas- f-
z
::J ing plan and schedule, showing how each component will built out, and UJ
"
how construction can be staged. a.

:J 9. Project Schedule We are proposing an estimated six month process to work with the EDA
and the City to reach a Final Master Development Agreement for this
~ project. If the City selects our team for designated developer status, we
would expect to enter into an Interim Development Agreement immedi-

ment. The schedule which follows outline the tasks we will undertake
::J during this time, including: master plan development, market studies and
::J financial pro-forma, traffic studies and further definition of upgrades to
thoroughfares; survey and soils testing; an identification of potential pub-
~ lic-private partnerships, grant opportunities, etc.. "

::J The Shepard Davern area is located on the south edge of Highland Park, high above the
Mississippi River. This under-developed area mixes older residential blocks with large indus-
trial tracts, all bordered by busy commercial corridors. Development at the airport and near-
::J by 494 corridor has driven airport auto-oriented uses into the area, while the local commer-
cial struggles unsuccessfully to remain competitive.
::J The plan, now being implemented, extends and connects existing and new "parkways" to
provide access to new pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use development. The plan also expands
::J existing residential areas, with over 1000 new units developed around new parks and green
spaces.
::J The design team included Planning and Economic Development and the Design Center in
