September 20, 2004 Community Information Meeting
Feedback received to -date has been consistent with typical
community surveys and informational meetings recently
conducted by the Anoka County Highway Department
related to planning highway improvements in the area.
• Residents are primarily concerned with the current and
growing traffic congestion in the area.
Next Steps:
Most residents have indicated a desire to see the site
developed with uses other than industrial. We received
positive feedback for planning the site as multi -use
residential, commercial and retail.
Most residents wanted to maintain a sensitivity to the
environment as well as including more landscaping,
plantings, etc.
• Contribution to the City of Lino Lakes' AUAR study
• Preparation of assumptions for the AUAR
• Project Schedule (attached)
• Continued Community Involvement
We are in the process of setting up a website at www.hardwoodcreeklinolakes.com for
presenting information to the community on the project and for residents to send in
comments. The website will be linked to the City of Lino Lakes website, too.

Work Session Item No. 4
Date: Council Work Session, Wednesday, October 6, 2004
To: City Council
From: Mary Divine
Re: Proposal for Apollo Business Park
United Properties is interested in building approximately 100,000 sq. ft. of
• warehouse /office space on the 9.8 -acre site remaining in the Apollo Business
Park. The project would be a good quality spec building designed for one or
several users, similar to other facilities they have done in the metro area (see
attached), with a value of approximately $6 million. They have also said they
have guaranteed jobs in the 40 -60 range on these types of projects.
•
The parcel is within TIF District 1 -9, which expires in December of 2009.
Because the district is aging, new projects would not generate enough increment
to provide the type of subsidy most users are requesting without creating a new
district, and the parcels have remained undeveloped.
United Properties is requesting TIF to cover the assessments only to make the
project economically feasible. Assessments in the Apollo Business Park were
deferred, and are paid as parcels develop. The city can only recoup its
investment in the Apollo Drive improvements if a property is developed.
Assessments on this parcel are estimated in the range of $170,000. Early
estimates of the increment that would be generated indicate assessments could
be paid off in approximately two years.
I'm seeking council direction on whether members wish to pursue this project
using TIF to pay assessments on the parcel. Using TIF, the city can guarantee it
recovers the city investment by 2009, or the council can chose to wait and see if
the property develops on its own.
