Cornrilissioner Jacobson thought that Andover Station was going to be more stores and restaurants, not medical buildings.

Economic Deve]opment Authority Meeting I Ju]y 25, 2002 - Minutes Page 2 The EDA discussed the amount of traffic generated by medica] facilities as well as a different location for the building as the EDA felt the proposed area was to be retail and restaurants. Mr. Erar will speak with United Properties regarding the possibility of a different location. Mr. Neumeister felt that in this type of area a traffic generator is needed. At this point, this is the only client United Properties has been working with and we need to start generating TIF funds. ANDOVERSTATJONMARKETPLACE- VERBAL UPDATE Mr. Erar noted that the building is moving along although there was a slight modification in the building for the liquor store.

GREAT RIVER ENERGY UPDATE Commissic'Der Jacobson '~xcused himself from the discussion as an EDA member as he has a conflict of interest.

Vice President Trude suggested obtaining an agreement stating that if the substation is destroyed by a tornado or some other act of God, that they would not rebuild it in the san1e locatIOn. Commissioner Orttel would like to see an appraisal after a survey is completed to see how much buildable property is left. \ / J Economic Development Authority Meeting July 25, 2002 - Minutes Page 3 Don Jacobson suggested that rather than purchasing the property the EDA could approach Great River Energy and tell them the EDA would like to landscape the . property. He felt they would agree to that. Mr. Erar noted that Great River Energy has already agreed to landscape the property themselves; however, it would not be done to the degree that we would want. Commissioner Knight didn't think that the property is worth what Great River is asking. Commissioner Nowak asked if Hanson Boulevard is going to be upgraded. Vice President Trude noted that it is. She suggested that Mr. Neumeister prepare a landscape plan to see what it would look like. Mr. Erar stated that staff can do a design and landscape plan and talk to Great River to see if they will donate some funds to do the landscaping, The Board discussed the appraisals with Commissioner Orttel noting that there are no utilities on this property and the appraisal suggests that there are utilities. Commissioner Knight asked what types of businesses we would anticipate going on the property. Mr. Erar stated there would be retail shops and restaurants. Commissioner Grttel felt that the EDA needs someone like Ryan Companies to tell us what the property could be used for. Motion by Knight, seconded by Nowak that the EDA has no interest in Parcel B except for a landscape plan.

Mr. Erar stated that the AL T A survey would allow staff to move ahead with Ryan Companies. He Economic Development Authority Meeting July 25,2002 - Minutes Page 4 noted that the City Engineer doesn't want the topographical survey done at this time as he feels the firm hired to do the infrastructure will want to do their own survey.

Motion caJTied unanimously. TANNER'S STEAKHOUSE ARCHITECTURAL ISSUES - VERBAL UPDATE Mr. Neumeister explained that staff reviewed this issue with the City Attorney who said that the property was sold to Tanner's prior to any covenants or guidelines being placed on the property.

WWW.C1.ANDOVERMN.US TO: EDA President and Board FROM: John Erar, Executive Director SUBJECT: Consider Medical Office Complex Proposal- Andover Station DATE: August 14, 2002 INTRODUCTION This item is a carry-over from July 25, 2002. The EDA Board discussed several issues regarding this proposal, but delayed any action until United Properties (UP) representatives were available to make a presentation on the proposed medical office building complex that would be located on the west side of Martin Street opposite Tanner's Steakhouse. DISCUSSION "- Concerns articulated at the July 25, 2002 Board meeting were with respect to the pennitted use of a / Medical Office building in this area of the Andover Station development site. A copy of the Pennitted Use section of the Andover Design Standards is attached and appears to indicate that Health and Dental Care facilities are a pennitted use. However, if there is a question as to the whether the proposed use submitted by United Properties meets that specific definition, the EDA retains the right to make that specific interpretation. In addition, under the Office/Warehouse section, office space must constitute at least 20 percent of the floor space. Staffs understanding of the project is that the proposed facility is primarily composed of medical office space with minimal warehousing and/or storage space. Staffs interpretation of whether this is a pennitted use under the Design Standards appears to suggest that this use is appropriate under Office uses. The Board may wish to consider how this site will impact the use of adjacent undeveloped sites in terms of parking connections, street access and pedestrian travel. United Properties will present a colored rendering of the facility, along with materials for Board review. UP is in the process of preparing the drawings to market the spaces in the building to prospective tenants. Staff has met with UP representatives and considers the proposal to meet the purpose and intent of the Andover Station development plan as previously approved by the Board. The property in question is covered under the option agreement previously approved by the Board. If the Board approves of the proposal, staff will negotiate a suitable purchase agreement with UP \ . and bring the agreement back to the Board for formal approval. Construction approval processes will be reviewed through normal City planning and building pennit policies. \ J BUDGET IMPACT Sale revenues from this property will be allocated to the EDA Special Revenue Fund, along with appropriate assignment of proceeds as required to tax increment debt service requirements and broker fees. ACTION REQUIRED Consider the medical office building proposal from United Properties and provide direction to staff regarding the advancement of this project.
