SUBJECT: Approval of Advance Resources Contract
DATE: December 18, 2001
INTRODUCTION
The EDA has in past meetings discussed the need to extend the time frame associated with the marketing
and sale of property in the Andover Station. Mr. Michael Mulrooney, President of Advance Resources
for Development Inc., was retained by the EDA to market properties in the Andover Station for
commercial development purposes.
DISCUSSION
Due to ongoing negotiations with United Properties that have extended the time frame beyond the
original April 1, 2001 contract date, the EDA authorized the agreement to be extended to June 1,2001.
After discussion by the EDA, the agreement presented at the April 19,2001 meeting was reviewed and
revised to include only Andover Station as it was determined that property to the north could be marketed
by the City, without the need to extend the scope of services offered by Advance Resources. Staff has
met with Mr. Mulrooney and tentatively agreed, subject to EDA ratification, to extend the marketing
agreement date to September I, 2002. The extended date should be within a reasonable time frame to
enable completion of the sale of the property to United Properties.
The attached agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney and includes the removal of marketing
language for the WDE site.
BUDGET IMPACT
Consulting fees of seven (7%) percent will be paid from the sale of property at the date of closing.
ACTION REOIDRED
Approve the Advance Resources Agreement as presented.
Respectfully submitted,

Andover Economic Development Authority Meeting
Minutes - April 19, 2001

DISCUSS EXTENSION OF ADVANCE RESOURCES CONTRACT
Mr. Carlberg explained the one-year contract with Mr. Mulrooney for Andover Station expired April
1. The City is still negotiating with a large developer, so it is appropriate to extend that contract.
Mr. Mulrooney brought in a contract to extend this one plus to work on the development north of
Bunker Lake Boulevard as well. Staff would like the opportunity to review that last issue. There
has been some interest in developing the north side, so it may not be necessary to retain Mr.
Mulrooney's firm. The site plan for that area also needs to be updated and reviewed.
Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Trude, to extend Mr. Mulrooney's contract for Andover Station.
DISCUSSION: Mr. Mulrooney stated the contract was expanded to the north property because he
was requested to do so at the last EDA meeting. He understood Staffmust review it first. EDA
discussion was on the work done by Advance Resources, the length oftime the contract should be
extended and whether or not it should be expanded to the north property. Mr. Carlberg stated the
firm did prepare the brochures and drawings for Andover Stations, has been in contact with many
firms and is pulling together the deal for the sale and development of Andover Station. That
developer did not come to the City but rather came through Mr. Mulrooney's architect via word of
mouth. He felt Mr. Mulrooney has fulfilled his obligations of the contract. He may not be needed
to market across Bunker Lake Boulevard, but his assistance and experience is needed to complete
the contract for the Andover Station development.
Councilmember Jacobson wondered if the contract expires, does the City pay the commission for
the option by the developer. Mr. Erar stated in his experience, Mr. Mulrooney is entitled to be
compensated under the terms and conditions of the original agreement for not only this sale but for
the property that is to be optioned. But he agreed it may not be necessary to expand the contract to
the north side, thinking that area will begin to sell on its own. EDA then agreed to extend the
contract to June 1 but not to expand it to include the property north of Bunker Lake Boulevard.
Councilmember Orttel included in the motion to extend the contract to June I, 200l. Second
Stands. Motion carried on an 8-Yes, I-Absent (Nowak) vote.
DISCUSS DESIGN OF WDE SITEIIP99-78/0RDER PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Mr. Carlberg suggested going back to the Leonard, Parker firm to update the site plan because of the
changes to the ball fields. The housing portion should also be included. There are no funds to
develop that site now until after the closing of the Andover Station project. That updated s\fetch
will be brought back to the EDA for review. The EDA agreed.

The Andover Station standards are the regulating zoning standards for the GB, General
Business Zoning District. Other standards in the zoning ordinance or other regulatory controls
notwithstanding, where there is conflict between the Andover Station Design Standards and
specific elements of the other City ordinances or regulations, the Andover Station Design I
Standards shall prevail. Where there is no conflict and when the Andover Station Design
Standards do not address a specific instance, other City standards shall apply.
All new construction, modification or exterior alteration and colors must adhere to the
established architectural theme of the Property. The ARC shall consider compatibility during the
site plan approval process.
These design standards support the following goals:
. Economic Development
~ Create a setting that supports the long-term viability of Andover Station
Commercial Center.
~ Optimize job growth, residential opportunities, and tax revenue for the City of
Andover through the creation of an integrated and balanced project.
. Land Use
~ Concentrate development at intensities that bring within walking distance the
diverse activities that comprise an active community commercial center.
~ Provide a complementary mix of land uses, including retail, entertainment, civic
facilities, employment, housing, and community open space.
~ Integrate community-serving open spaces and amenities throughout Andover
Station and make connections to the city trail system.
. Community Design and Architecture
~ Site and design buildings and landscaping for convenient walking distances,
enhanced pedestrian routes, and human comfort and safety.
~ A void pedestrian routes dominated by parking lots or blank walls.
~ Respect the site's valuable natural features, including its woodlands, ponds and
wetlands.
~ Encourage architectural diversity, within a unified whole.

The Andover Station Design Standards are intended to encourage creative application of
specific design principles to the commercial center site (refer to Exhibit B - Regulating Plan).
The goal of the design review process is to provide a framework for performance based
communication, collaboration, negotiation and accommodation. The following are the primary
categories of the Andover Station Design Standards:
2.01 Site Plan
2.02 Landscaping
2.03 Architecture
2.04 Parking
2.05 Lighting
2.06 Signage
2.07 Construction and Maintenance
2.08 Residential
2.01 Site Plan The Andover Station Site Plan specifies the essential physical features
for the Andover Station Commercial Center including required streets, build to lines, building
locations and entrances, gateways, landmark towers, landscape frontages, ponds and public trails.

. Build-to Lines
Build-to Lines define locations where buildings must be built within a certain distance of
the public right-of-way or the ponds. Bringing building fronts close to the edge of streets
or ponds and wetland enhance continuity, attractiveness and intimacy of pedestrian
spaces. Specific regulations for Build-to Lines are:
~ Build-to Lines occur at the edge of the dedicated right-of-way, where property
meets a publicly accessible street, path or water and wetland amenity.
~ To contribute towards meeting the Build-to requirement, building facades must be
sited within zero to ten feet ofthe public right of way.
~ Parks or plazas may be used to satisfy up to 20 percent of the build-to
requirement, and must be landscaped with shade trees and furnished with seating
areas satisfactory to ARC review and approval.
~ Standards for Build-to Lines and associated elements such as minimum building
height, building frontage and building entry as well as window placement and
frequency are described in greater detail in the Architectural Standards Section.
. Landscaped Frontages
Landscaped Frontages shall be used to extend a sense of enclosure to the street in
locations where street-facing buildings are not required. Landscaped frontages will also
screen views of parking lots and loading areas, and will help establish a unique project
identity. Landscaped frontages will be maintained.
. Required Building Entries
The Andover Station Site Plan shows locations where major building entries should be
encouraged to create important pedestrian and visual connections. These entries are
located at important comers or intersections, typically where larger stores would locate.
Placing entries at these locations helps ensure that the buildings relate to the street and
that pedestrians have a direct route of entry to the buildings. Pedestrians passing through
these entries establish a critical mass of activity at major comers and near public areas.
. Towers
Towers are required in the designated locations to mark major destinations and gateways.
The towers will terminate important local vistas and visually announce the Andover
Station Commercial Center from Bunker Lake Boulevard and Commercial Boulevard.

Towers of high architectural merit are called for as shown in the prototype elevations.
Towers must be integrated into a building. The towers may not exceed a height of 65
feet, plus minor projections not to exceed one foot in width and five feet in height (a total
of20 feet above the maximum building height). Signs on towers shall be prohibited.
. Gateways
Entrances to the Town Center shall be marked by distinctive features that announce the
Andover Station, Commercial Center and foster a memorable sense of arrival.
. Buildings
~ Quality and Materials
Each building located within the Property shall be built in an industry acceptable
and city approved work-like manner with high quality, first-class building
materials. The design and location of buildings constructed on a lot shall be
attractive and shall compliment existing structures and the surrounding natural
features and topography with respect to height, design, finish, color, size and
location. The following standards shall be adhered to:
A) Masonry material shall be used. Color shall be introduced through colored
block or panels and not painted block.
B) Brick may be used upon approval of the ARC to assure uniformity.
C) Block shall have a weathered, polished, fluted or broken face.
D) Concrete may be poured in place, tilt-up, pre-cast, and shall be finished in
stone or textured finish, and coated.
E) Metal siding is prohibited, except as an accent material upon approval of the
ARC.
F) All accessory structures shall be designed and constructed with materials
compatible with the primary structure.
G) All roof-mounted equipment shall be screened by walls of compatible
appearing material or camouflaged to blend into the building or background.
Wood screen fences are prohibited. All exterior machinery, tanks, etc., are to
be fully screened by compatible materials.

~. H) Acceptable materials will incorporate textured surfaces, exposed aggregate
and/or other patterning. All walls shall be given added architectural interest
through building design and/or appropriate landscaping. The buildings shall
have varied and interesting detailing. The use of large unadorned concrete
panels and concrete block, or a solid wall unrelieved by architectural detailing,
such as change in materials, change in color, fenestrations, or other significant
visual relief provided in a manner or intervals in keeping with the size mass,
and scale of the wall and its views from public ways shall be prohibited.
I) Each building shall contain one or more architectural treatments such as
towers, arches, vaults, entryway projections, canopies and detailing to add
additional interest and articulation to structures.
J) There shall be no underdeveloped sides of buildings visible from public right-
of-ways. All elevations visible from the street shall receive nearly equal
treatment and visual qualities. Windows shall be incorporated into areas that
front streets, sidewalks or trails, when appropriate.
K) Other materials may be approved by the ARC and EDA if determined to be in
conformance with existing design and character of the Property.
L) Review and approval of building materials by EDA.
~ Minimum Height
Street facing buildings must be at least 20 feet high. Minimum building height is
measured relative to the finished grade. Minimum height is measured to the
highest point of the roof, excluding minor lengths of parapets, cupolas, or other
discontinuous projecting features. Continuous parapets or false fronts and peaked
or sloped roofs do qualify towards meeting the minimum height.
~ Maximum Height
In all locations, the maximum allowable building height is 45 feet, measured at
the tallest part of the building.
~ Minor Projections
Minor projections and special architectural features such as clock towers, bell
towers, cupolas and ornamental portions of parapet walls may extend up to 10 feet

above the maximum height, provided they make up no more than one third of the
length of a building's facade.
. Common Site Maintenance Responsibilities
The Andover Station Association shall control the maintenance of all hiking trails,
walkways, common open space, street lighting, landscaping, and right of way and other
site-related amenities through the collection of association fees from the members of
Andover Station Association established by the Economic Development Authority.
Pedestrian access shall be provided from each site to the public sidewalk and/or trail
system.
2.02 Landscaping All areas on any lot or parcel not used for buildings, storage, parking,
walkways, access roads, or loading areas shall be suitably graded, drained and sodded,
maintained and landscaped with greens and shrubs so as to provide a park-like setting and to
screen parking and road areas.
Landscaping plans are required for all developments and are subject to the approval of the
EDA, as part of the site plan approval process. All lots and parcels shall be landscaped within 90
days of substantial completion of construction and issuance of Certificate of Occupancy in
accordance with approved plans. All landscaping associated with substantial completion during
the Winter must be escrowed in accordance with Building Department requirements.
The landscape design should be complementary to common areas and previously
developed areas. Plantings should provide for seasonal interest and should include a selection of
coniferous and deciduous plants. Natural landscaping and indigenous vegetation shall be
permitted and are encouraged in those areas not associated with the formal entries and common
areas or buffers between properties that may be negatively impacted by said landscaping. Annual
flowers are recommended to accent or supplement the landscape plan. All landscaped areas must
be irrigated.
The approved plan for landscaping a building site may not be altered substantially
without submitting a revised plan to the EDA for approval.
. Site Planning to Preserve Natural Assets
While the network of required streets is fixed, many site decisions remain for other streets
and for buildings.
~ Views and Vistas
Site planning shall recognize the role that street alignment and topography
contribute to visual prominence. High points on the land and vistas along
Andover Station
Design Standards

) \ j
-
common routes provide unique opportunities to site important buildings, building
entrances, plazas and monuments. Doing so will add recognizable landmarks that
can make the Andover Station a memorable place.
~ Grading
Site planning shall minimize grading when locating streets and buildings. When
areas with slopes must be graded, landform-grading techniques shall be used and
slopes exceeding 1:4 shall be avoided. Rounded forms that use concave and convex
shapes help conceal cuts by presenting a more natural look. Varied slopes also
disperse drainage flows, reducing the potential for erosion and allowing more
percolation. Concentrating drainage in concave swales also enhances on-site storm
water retention and minimizes the need for large detention areas off-site. If required,
any retaining walls shall not exceed five (5) feet in height.
~ Landscaped Frontages
A twenty-foot wide landscaped buffer must be placed where parking lots abut local
and surrounding streets. However, care shall be taken to design and site the buffers
such that they do not provide ambush points or obstruct views.
~ Connecting Walkways
Connecting walkways must meet the following minimum requirements:
~ Width and Clearance
The width of the paved walking surface must be at least six (6) feet clear. Any
covered structure such as trellis must have at least ten (10) feet clear height, but must
not obstruct visibility or provide hiding or ambush places.
~ Paving
Connecting walkways must be paved with a special paving or concrete in a pattern or
color that contrasts with the surrounding pavement to insure uniformity and consistent
walkway pattems.
~ Tree Planting
Connecting walkways must be planted with either shade trees or a shade structure
such as a trellis with climbing vines.

Lighting
Connecting walkways must be equipped with lighting on one side, at least three (3)
feet in height in order to be visible in deep snow drifts or snow banks. Lighting
standards spaced a maximum of thirty-feet apart and a maximum often (10) feet tall
are recommended. I
2.03 Architectural Standards
. Building Entries and Windows
Building massing shall be designed to highlight the location of building entries. Primary
pedestrian entries shall be clearly expressed and be recessed or framed by a sheltering
element such as an awning, arcade, porch or portico. Greater height may be used to
accentuate entries in the form of tower elements tall openings, or a central mass at an
entry plaza.
. Reveals
Windows and doors must be recessed at least two inches from walls or exterior trim to
create shadow for visual interest.
. Building Scale and Definition
The guidelines in this section are intended to create buildings with a human scale, making
Andover Station Commercial Center more pedestrian-friendly and pleasant place to walk.
~ Structural Legibility and Articulation
Facade articulation is required. Building fenestration (windows and doors) and
changes in mass shall relate to structural system(s) and the organization of interior
space. Vertical architectural features such as columns and piers help articulate
building mass.
~ Roof Form/Rooftop Equipment
A variety of roof forms are permitted. Changes in roof form must correspond
with a building's structural bays and massing. Mechanical equipment must be
integrated into overall mass of a building and screened behind parapets or
recessed into hips, gables, parapets and similar features. Plain equipment boxes
are not acceptable.

. Materials and Methods of Construction
Buildings shall support regional traditions and maintain a high level of craft in the
process of construction. Wood, masonry, brick, rock face block, stucco and stone are
appropriate building materials. See recommended materials palette, Exhibit C.
(Samples available at Andover Community Development Office.)
~ Consistency
Exterior materials and finishes shall convey a sense of integrity and durability.
Buildings must incorporate consistent, pedestrian-scale textures and details on all
sides that are visible from public streets and pedestrian pathways.
~ Glass
Clear glass must be used for windows and doors; mirrored glass is prohibited.
~ Simulated Materials
Materials that are visibly simulated or prefabricated are prohibited. Scored
plywood (such as T 1-11) is prohibited.
~ Proper Application and Detailing
Materials must be properly applied and correctly detailed, especially at the base of
buildings, along cornices, eaves, parapets or ridge tops and around entries and
windows. Material changes must not occur at external comers, but may occur at
reverse or interior comers or as a return at least four feet from external comers.
. Energy Conservation and Climatic Response
The effects of the Minnesota climate can be mitigated through intelligent building design,
configuration and landscape treatments. The following approach will also foster regional
sense of place.
~ Day lighting
Day lighting techniques minimize the need for electric lighting and can reduce
peak-hour energy consumption by as much as 20 percent. While windows are the
most common form of day lighting, light from windows rarely penetrates more
than about 20 feet. Additional day lighting can be obtained with clerestories, light
shelves and skylights.

>- Passive Heating and Cooling Considerations
Site and building design shall consider passive heating and cooling strategies such
as deciduous tree plantings that provide shade in the summer and sun in the
winter. Heat-retaining thermal mass (such as concrete or brick) designed into
building walls or columns absorbs heat during the day and radiates heat at night.
Building design that shades opening reduces direct heat gain during the day.
Shading elements can also add dimensionality to building facades. Eaves or
awnings can be sized to shade windows in the summer but admit sun in the winter
when the sun is lower in the sky.
>- Pedestrian Shelter
Building exteriors shall provide pedestrians shelter from the sun, rain and snow.
Awnings, entry porticos, arcades and overhanging eaves are particularly
appropriate at pedestrian pathways. Garden structures such as trellises and arbors
(with, or without vines) shall be used to shade pedestrian routes and seating areas.
. Service Areas
Service areas are places where truck loading takes place, refuse is stored or mechanical
equipment is mounted. Service areas must be located away from and screened from view
of streets, parks, plazas and landscaped walkways. Appropriate screening strategies
include vine-covered walls or fences, trellises, arcades, dense landscaping reaching a
height of six feet or some combination thereof. Where service areas cannot be avoided
along a street, park or plaza, they must be recessed within a building's envelope.
. Fences and Walls
Walls and fences within view of streets, parks or plazas must be constructed out of
attractive, long-lasting materials, such as wood, wrought iron, masonry or stone. Chain
link and wire fencing must not be used. Walls and fences must not exceed 42 inches in
height within 20 feet of streets, parks, and plazas.
2.04 Parking Loading and Unloading Areas No parking shall be permitted on any
street or any place other than parking areas located on a lot. All parking provided on a lot must
meet the requirements of city codes and ordinances of the City. From and after the date a
building is constructed the owners of such building and building site shall maintain adequate on-
site parking spaces and loading facilities to serve the needs of each building site, taking into
account the building or buildings located or to be located thereon, and the use made or to be
made thereof. Separate areas shall be designated for automobile parking, loading, commercial,

U
and storage uses. Loading areas shall not encroach into yard setbacks or required off street
parking areas of any lot. All parking and drive aisle surface areas shall be either asphalt or
concrete and all parking areas including parking islands must be poured concrete curb. Any
deviation is subject to approval of the ARC. Landscaping shall be incorporated into all parking
lots to decrease the visual monotony. Island plantings of over story trees are required for parking
areas accommodating more than 20 vehicles. No vehicles or trailers may be parked in the same
location for a period in excess of twenty-four (24) hours. Joint parking arrangements between
facilities shall be encouraged.
. Landscaped Frontages
Where parking lots abut streets, a Landscaped Frontage shall be provided on the parcel,
adjacent to the sidewalk. Landscaped Frontages are not required when parking lots are
sited behind buildings or plazas.
. Connecting Walkways
>> Across Large Parking Lots
Parking lots shall not exceed 400 spaces without being segmented by Connecting
Walkways, Landscaped Frontages or buildings.
>> Linking Building Entrances to Sidewalks
Where building entries do not abut a street, Connecting Walkways are required to
link the building entrance to street sidewalks. This configuration is most likely
for larger store tenants who require parking lots in front of building entrances.
. Orchard Planting
For parking lots, a minimum number of shade trees are required, equivalent to one tree
per six parking stalls. Trees in parking lots shall be spread uniformly throughout the
parking area. Trees planted along Connecting Walkways and adjacent Landscaped
Frontages may also contribute to the one-per-six requirement for parking lots. Trees must
be set into a tree well and protected by tree guards.
. Bicycle Parking
Bicycle Parking must be provided in easily accessible locations. One bicycle space shall
be provided for every 2,000 square feet of building Net Floor Area. Bicycle parking must
be visible from storefronts or office building front doors, in order to improve security for
parked bicycles.

2.05 Exterior Lighting The following standards apply to on-site lighting, including
lighting of signs, structures, landscaping, plazas, parking and service areas.
. Intensity and Direction of Lighting
All lighting fixtures, including spotlights, electrical reflectors and other means of
illuminating signs, structures, landscaping, parking, loading and similar areas, shall be
focused, directed and arranged to prevent horizontal glare or direct illumination on
adjoining property or streets. A sharp cut off must be used to direct light toward walls
and landscaping to avoid shining light up into the sky.
Indirect illumination of neighboring residential properties or uses by anyon-site lighting
shall not exceed OA-foot candles at the property line, as measured horizontally and
vertically from the adjacent grade to a height of 14 feet.
No mercury vapor utility yard lights or other light fixtures with high intensity discharge
lamps or bulbs, which are not designed to limit or control light direction or which do not
shield the light source from view of neighboring residential properties, shall be permitted.
. Lamp Color and Consistency
Subsequent to the adoption of these standards, the City is expected to develop a unified
lighting plan for the Andover Station. Lamp types shall be selected to enhance color
recognition within three zones: along streets and walkways, within parks and plazas, and
within parking lots. Within each of these zones, lamps of similar type and color shall be
used, with the conversion of non-conforming existing lamps encouraged over time.
Lamp styles and standards are on file with the City of Andover.
. Types of Lighting Applications
~ Architectural
Accent lighting of architectural features is encouraged to highlight building
massing and rhythm as well as enhance the pedestrian environment. Accent
lighting shall not be a source of glare, reflected glare or excessive light, especially
when viewed from residences and streets, walkways or open spaces. The
following standards apply:
0 Building Entries
Building entries with high activity levels shall be illuminated. Appropriate
treatments include: bathing entry surfaces and doorways with light, allowing

\J
the building interior light to glow through glazing, or using decorative lighting
fixtures to announce entries.
0 Service Areas
Building-mounted down light fixtures, in combination with pole fixtures, are
preferred for the illumination of building service areas. Such fixtures do not
cause glare or light leakage beyond the service areas.
0 Landscaped Frontages
Regular up lighting of walls or other structures in Landscaped Frontages shall
occur throughout the Andover Station and must be coordinated to create a
consistent and dramatic effect.
0 Landscaping and Furnishing
Up lighting is recommended for all landscaping and furnishings (in both
public and private areas) that require accenting (such as specimen trees and
shrubs and sculptural features). Specific areas include streets, parks and
plazas.
0 Landscaped Walkways
Landscaped walkways and other pedestrian paths shall be lit by pole or bollard
type fixtures that are human-scale, typically not to exceed sixteen (16) feet or
four (4) feet in height, respectively. However, lighting must be at least three
(3) feet in height in order to be visible in deep snowdrifts or snow banks.
0 Seating Areas
Where intimate environments are desired (e.g. seating areas in parks and
plazas, as well as some pedestrian walkways), light bollards and other forms
of indirect illumination are appropriate.
. Bollards
Lighting bollards are recommended for illuminating pedestrian walkways, parks and
plazas. Lighting bollards must have a black metal finish. Bollards must have a diameter
of approximately eight inches and a height of at least three feet, to avoid being obstructed
by snow. Around the light source near the top of the bollard, horizontal louvers must be
used to stylistically complement the luminaries and direct light downward. Concrete
finishes shall not be used for lighting bollards.

. Submittal Requirements and Design Review
A lighting plan prepared by a qualified lighting consultant shall be submitted for design
review. All lighting and their methods of installation shall be reviewed and approved by
the City. Each owner/tenant will be responsible for the design, fabrication, and
installation of lights on private property.
2.06 Signage The City of Andover recognizes there is need for signs advertising the
identity of Owner and the business conducted on the Premises. It is further recognized that
acceptable standards fQr such signs may change from time to time. In order to allow for such
change, all requests for signs to be located on any part or parcel of the Property shall be

SUBJECT: Strip Mall Development Proposal
DATE: December 18,2001
INTRODUCTION
The City has been approached by Mr. Chris Fritch, representing Northwest Commercial, LLC regarding a
development proposal for property directly east of 1 St Regions Bank.
DISCUSSION
Representatives from Northwest Commercial will be in attendance at the EDA meeting and present
additional information on the type of retail uses they are proposing, the square footage of the strip mall,
total site acreage/square footage they would contemplate purchasing from the EDA, construction time
frame and financial assistance they may be requesting from the EDA.
Attached, please find an aerial cross-section of the site under consideration, along with site and zoning
information to assist the EDA in their preliminary review. If the EDA were inclined to consider
Northwest Commercial LLC commerciaVretail concept, staff would enter into further review of the
proposal with Northwest, and begin developing additional information in support of negotiating final
project details. As the EDA owns this property, staff should be directed to develop or update existing fair
market value data for the subject property.
Other issues the EDA may wish to consider is the development of a total concept plan for the total
property that could include preliminary street layouts, lot sizes and configurations and a vision for how
this property may ultimately be developed. As the EDA may have had these conversations in the past, it
might be worthwhile to confirm past positions in light of this current development proposal.
ACTION REOUIRED

RE: Proposal to city with EDA regards
I
Mr. Arar:
I
We would like to propose plans to the EDA for a strip mall to be located at the open land
between 151 Regions Bank and the electric sub-station on the corner of Hanson & Bunker
Lake Boulevards. We have the preliminary front elevation and floor plan for this strip
mall and would like to propose our ideas to the city.
I I
We would like to schedule an appointment with you to review these plans or get on the
agenda with the EDA. Please call me at your earliest convenience at 763/783-4433.
Thank you. I

SUBJECT: Andover Economic Development Authority property at 1775 Bunker Lake Blvd
(PIN 34-32-24-14.0006)
DATE: 12/13/01
INTRODUCTION
Your office has requested information on 1775 Bunker Lake Blvd. This site is zoned GB
(General Business). Attached find permitted uses.
DISCUSSION
The entire parcel outlined in light blue on the aerial photo is approximately 19.375 acres and
844,000 Square Feet in size. This includes a northern border of 720 feet, an eastern border of
1270 feet, a southern border of 400 feet on Bunker Lake Blvd, a 220 foot southeastern border
with the bank property, another southern border of 320 feet with the bank property, and a 1050
foot west border.
For comparative purposes, the 151 Region Bank property is an area of approximately 320 by 220
feet, or a total of 70,400 square feet and 1.61 acres. According to the Finance Dept, sale of this
site, which occurred on January 261h 2001 was $4.00 dollars per square foot.
The subject site, outlined has a 400 foot north and south border, and a 280 foot east and west
border, which has a total of 112,000 square feet and 2.571 acres. Direct access to the site will
need to be evaluated, but it is more likely that access would have to be from the exiting side
street to the west of 151 Region's Bank property.

TO: EDA Board
FROM: John Erar, EDA Executive Director/City Administrator
SUBJECT: Authorize Metro North Chamber of Commerce Advertisement
DATE: December 18, 2001
INTRODUCTION
The EDA is requested to consider advertising with the Metro North Chamber of Commerce
(MNCC). A copy of the publication produced by Village Profile in affiliation with the MNCC
would allow the City to promote the community through a Y:, page advertisement.
DISCUSSION
Cost of a Y:, page, color advertisement is being offered at $899, with an additional 5% discount
for pre-payment. According to MNCC, other cities that are participating in this publication
include Coon Rapids, Anoka, Ramsey, Uno Lakes and possibly Blaine. An example of one of
their most recent publications will be available for EDA members to review at the meeting.
5,000 copies of the MNCC publication will be distributed to new residents and businesses within
the MNCC area. I have also requested an additional 100 copies for City Hall as well. If approved,
staff would prepare an article for the MNCC publication. Staff would anticipate that information
on commercial development sites and business opportunities would be included in the article.
BUDGET IMP ACT (if applicable)
Funding is available in the EDA 2001 Budget.
ACTION REOUlRED
Consider whether to authorize advertising expenditures for the City of Andover in the MNCC
publication.
Respectfully submitted,
John Erar
