3 <br />LAKE BUSINESS PARK <br /> <br />Ms. Divine stated that a 265,000 sq. ft. distribution center is being proposed on the site. <br />An EAW will also be needed on that site, and traffic issues will need to be addressed. It is <br />not a heavy semi traffic user. Ms. Hansmann said it's difficult to take a left hand turn at <br />the interchange now. Additional signalization will be needed, lane widening, turns lanes, <br />etc. They will be requesting TIF, a new economic development district would have to be <br />created. Mr. Grochala stated the TIF may be needed for infrastructure improvements. <br />Staff has stressed the developer will need to meet high architectural standards because of <br />its visibility and closeness to the school. Ms. Schwartz and Mr. Jensen expressed concern <br />about the use for that site. <br /> <br />ANOKA COUNTY CDA <br /> <br />Ms. Divine stated legislation is pending that will give Anoka County the authority to <br />create a Community Development Authority. This will give the county the ability to levy <br />for economic development purposes. The current language in the legislation states that all <br />the cities will be required to pay 40% of the levy, which will be used for marketing, etc., <br />county-wide. The cities can opt out of the other 60%, but if the city choses to levy, those <br />funds will be used within the city. This could benefit Lino Lakes because of its <br />developability. It's not a lot of money, but it will help the county to market the area. The <br />city will need to be proactive to ensure it benefits us. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
