WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 3
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
WORK SESSION DATE: September 3, 2024
TOPIC: Roers Companies – Woods Edge Property
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
The City’s Economic Development Authority (EDA) has received a letter of intent from Roers
Companies to purchase 6.27 acres of EDA owned property in the Legacy at Woods Edge
Development. Roers Companies is a national real estate development firm based in the Twin
Cities. Their focus is on multi-family residential developments and generally collaborate with partners
on commercial components. Roers has multiple successful projects throughout the Twin Cities region
including the recently opened Lexi Apartments in Blaine. The Woods Edge project would include a
market rate multi-family building with opportunities for commercial development on a portion of the
property.
The EDA discussed the proposal at the August 1, 2024, work session and directed staff to
continue negotiations with Roers to reach an agreement. As with previous proposals the EDA
included, as a condition of sale, that a commercial component be constructed prior to or in
conjunction with a multi-family building. While committed to development the entire site,
Roers has expressed concern over this requirement.
Representatives of Roers Companies will be present at the meeting to discuss concerns, limiting
factors and market forces that relate to this condition. Since the EDA is still negotiating an
agreement no discussion on sale price will be held at the meeting other than noting Roers is
open to the EDA’s counteroffer.
The goal of the discussion is to obtain a better understanding of conditions affecting potential
commercial development of the site and discuss agreement options. Based on input received
staff will continue to work with Roers to draft an agreement for EDA consideration.
REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION
Discussion only.

WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
WORK SESSION DATE: September 3, 2024
TOPIC: Request for Water Service for SE Lino Lakes from White Bear
Township
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
The North Oaks Company has submitted a concept plan “Wilkinson Waters” for development of
their property in Lino Lakes, located northwest of the Centerville/CR J intersection. This area
lies within Sanitary Sewer District No. 4. Sanitary sewer for this area is proposed to be provided
from a White Bear Township trunk line that was previously extended to the municipal limits.
Water service will eventually be provided by Lino Lakes. However, the City’s closest lines are
1.5 miles to the north of the project site and, given existing supply issues related to White Bear
Lake, extension of our lines would be premature.
White Bear Township has water main stubbed to the property along with lateral water mains
running through the property serving the Rapp Farm development on the west side of
Wilkenson Lake. White Bear Township currently has agreements in place with North Oaks
Development Company for water supply. Provided capacity is available staff is proposing an
agreement with White Bear Township to provide water to this area for an interim period.
Staff is proposing to attend the September White Bear Township Utility Commission meeting in
September to discuss the possibility. Regardless of the outcome of the Wilkinson Waters
project, reconstruction of the interchange and associated roadway improvements, will drive
interest in this location. Confirming potential service availability will be helpful in future
planning efforts.
REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION
Staff is requesting direction to discuss possible water supply service with White Bear Township.

WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 6
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
WORK SESSION DATE: September 3, 2024
TOPIC: Amendment to Java Purchase Agreement
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
In September of 2023, the City entered into a purchase agreement with Java Companies for the
sale 2.24 acres located at the corner of Lake Drive and 77th Street. Java Companies has been
actively working on both adjacent land acquisition and tenant contracts to develop the site.
Java is preparing to submit plans for rezoning, preliminary plat, conditional use and site and
building plan approval in September. The City review process will extend into November of
2024, past the extension dates provided for in the agreement.
Java is requesting an amendment to allow four additional 60-day extensions to the agreement.
Buyers is also requesting that the City construct the proposed road improvements within 10
months of the closing. Staff is reviewing this clause with the City Engineer and City Attorney.
The existing agreement requires the City to advertise for bids within 30 days of closing. Barring
unforeseen circumstances construction of the road will be substantially complete in 2025.
Provided that land use requests are approved in November, a December closing would be
anticipated. Plans and specifications for the roadway improvement are complete. Upon
closing the City would advertise for bids and award a construction contract for the street and
utilities for construction in the spring.
REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION
Staff is requesting City Council direction to place the proposed amendment to the Java
purchase agreement on the September 9, 2024, regular meeting for consideration.
