• <br />• <br />Planning & Zoning Board <br />November 10, 1993 <br />Board must, according to State Statutes, adopt a Resolution <br />acknowledging compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan <br />and other development plans for the City. Both of these <br />businesses are to be located in or near the Apollo Business <br />Park and have received site plan approval from the P & Z <br />within the last two months. Staff would recommend approval of <br />the attached Resolution. <br />Mr. Mesich asked if the tax increment dollars were given "up <br />front" and how much they were. He also asked if other <br />businesses pay the tax on these properties and why they were <br />asked to approve a "plan ", as stated in the Resolution, that <br />they did not get a copy of. Mr. Wessel stated that each plan <br />is different. In the case of Accu Tool - the money is being <br />given "up- front" because we are asking him to upgrade the <br />existing building. He did not have the figures available for <br />Perceptive Engineering. He stated that the "plans" are not <br />finalized yet but that they would be prior to the Public <br />Hearing scheduled before the City Council for December 13th. <br />Mr. Brixius stated that the Planning & Zoning Board's charge <br />is to determine if the site and building plans conform to the <br />City's Comprehensive Plan, not necessarily address the <br />financial impact of the tax increment financing plan. <br />Planning Coordinator Wyland advised the Board that they had <br />previously approved the site and building plans for both <br />proposed projects and that the adoption of the proposed <br />Resolution was merely a formality required by the tax <br />increment financing process. Mr. Wessel further explained <br />that tax increment financing is a complex arrangement and he <br />did not feel comfortable explaining the procedure to the P & <br />Z although he has been working with it for a number of years. <br />After further discussion, Al Robinson made a motion and was <br />supported by John Landers to adopt Resolution No. 93 -1 <br />concerning Tax Increment Financing for District No. 1 -4. <br />(copy attached) <br />On roll call: <br />V. DISCUSSION ITEMS: <br />AYES: Gelbmann, Landers, Nordine, <br />Robinson, Schaps, Schones <br />NAYS: none <br />ABSTAIN: Mesich <br />A. Mr. Mesich stated that he has been working with the Police <br />in the development of a new dog ordinance. In the process, <br />the new Chief has indicated a couple of concerns: <br />1. the need for civil defense siren coverage - it has <br />been suggested that we consider looking at some type of <br />"dedication" in this regard for new subdivision. <br />4 <br />
