CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES
EDA Member Dahl moved to approve the minutes from the March 22, 1999 EDA
meeting. EDA Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF CONTRACT FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN
LINO LAKES EDA AND LINO LAKES BUSINESS CENTER PHASES 5, 6, 7 & 8
Mr. Wessel outlined the conditions for public assistance for the Lino Lakes Business
Center project, which is locating on 6 acres just north of the Apollo Business Park on the
Hawkins Chemical property. In the agreement, the city agrees to provide a maximum
amount of tax increment financing in of $532,720. A total of $131,488 will be presented
upfront to pay assessments. The developer will receive a portion of his escrow back upon
completion of each building. The remainder will be reimbursed over time from available
increment. Estimated payback is 2007. This project requires a 10% local contribution from
the city's general fund.
EDA Member Lyden said he could approve the project if the developer would remove
building C and keep that piece of land in General Business to address the concerns of the
North Suburban Family Physicians Clinic. Ms. Divine explained the development contract
they had before them to approve provided incentives to the developer to complete all four
buildings and had penalties for not completing them. A new development contract would
be required if the project changed in scope.
ACTION: EDA Member Neal moved to continue the EDA meeting until after the ensuing
council meeting, when zoning and site plan issues would be resolved. EDA Member
Lyden seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously at 6:24 p.m.
The meeting was reopened at 11:45 p.m. EDA Member Lyden moved to approve the
development contract. EDA Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion passed
unanimously.
