V. ACTION ITEMS
A. CONCEPT PLAN DISCUSSION for a grocery store development near
Hodgson Road and County Road J
City Planner, Jeff Smyser, presented the staff report. Staff explained that the purpose of a
concept plan review is to allow for informal review and comment from city boards and
the public prior to application submittal. No formal action was r,Iuired by the board.
Mr. Smyser reviewed the proposed plan, noting some re• ents that would be
necessary for the plan to move forward.
Staff noted that the Environmental Board will be reviewing the co plan at their July
meeting.
The Board discussed issues including proposed access points, elements of ` : 49/J Master
Plan, big box development, traffic and circulation, design and aesthetics o the proposed
building, loading dock limitations, interim design for the 49/J intersection, ultimate
design for the 49/J intersection, 1 r tructure issues, zoning, potential future
development of the area, cornerst• // .ngs, pedestrian access, road improvement
financing and landscape buffers.
The Board pointed out that development brings opportim7ty for road and utility
improvements.
Paul Tucci, Oppidan development, was present for comments. Mr. Tucci summarized the
history of the plans for this development. Oppidan has been a developer for over 20
years both Locally and nationa1Iv. He noted that they have worked with the city on the
pr ocl" � �" the past year. Oppidan has discussed the plan at city work sessions and
held a neighbo meeting with over 100 attendees. Mr. Tucci displayed some prior
lopment plans 6 the area, explaining how the design has changed over time. He
n: at they have attempted to address comments and questions as best they could
from ic feedback. The newest plan is a result of city review, county review,
neighbor ood meetin . and the city's Economic Development Advisory Committee
meetings. The plan dudes a grocery store with an attached liquor store. Mr. Tucci
addressed that:. ;will need to meet all storm water management requirements. He said
that the plan h. ; . een redesigned based on public comment in regard to size of store,
building location, truck dock location, truck delivery, hours of operation, and general
location of access points. Mr. Tucci specified a number of items that have been
addressed:
• Access Points: Approximate location of a signaled intersection in the master study
was 990 feet, they met with the city and county staff together to discuss, the result
drove the location farther from the intersection. They are the last ones who want

• traffic backing up. They will not succeed if traffic does not flow for customers. They
want good traffic flow.
•
• Orientation of the Building: They moved the building to create a bigger buffer area
from residents to the west. The present orientation reduces the amount of lights
shining from the parking lot and creates a larger green buffer and berm area. The
new design creates a better visual block from the building.
• Size of Store: The developer has provided evidence to the city to prove that this size
of store is warranted. A smaller store does not economically work for this area.
• Delivery and Hours of Operation: The store is not intended to be open 24 hours. The
common time for a grocery store is 6 a.m. to midnight. Hours of delivery were
discussed and truck traffic will be addressed.
• Site Line: Oppidan has not yet update ight line study. This will occur when
they get feedback on a feasible concept p / ; hey intend to include a six -foot high
privacy fence with trees on either side to pro �_ year -round screening. They took
into consideration the varying elevations of neighboring homes. The landscaping
plan can be refined for application.
The developer responded to questions from the Board.
Mr. Tucci stated that Oppidan has not deteuuined a number of truck trips per day to the
site He said that inff`ast e will be funded with the help of TIF (tax increment
financing.) Mr. Tucci povw + out that the market is very different today than it was in
2007 when tte Master Plarr` as completed. He noted that smaller shops are difficult in
this economy.
The developer noted that improvement to utilities and infrastructure comes when either
of the neighboring property owners come together or a development becomes the
Iyst for improvements.
The developer said that plans previously included additional buildings to show potential
landscaping and streetscape flow within the development. The developer added that the
liquor store building was moved outside of the box to create a design element.
The developer responded to a question about what alternative to a grocer would
potentially develop on this property. Mr. Tucci explained that small shop owners need
someone to generate repeat traffic. If not a grocer, in order to pay for the land and
development, the most likely development after a grocer would be a drug store. He noted
that national restaurants like to be located in hub areas and local restaurants are hard to
maintain. He stated that this area needs a catalyst for development.
• Mr. Tralle allowed for public comment.

Mike Witham, 211 Woodridge Lane stated that since the neighborhood meeting, he does
not see a lot that has changed except moving the loading dock to north. He understands
mixed use, but thinks that can be smaller business. He said that the developer has not yet
provided an example of where they have done this type of development before in the
cities. He pointed out that there are a number of items with this proposal that do not go
along with the Master Plan. He considers this to be a bad fit for this neighborhood
because multiple amendments would need to be made to the Master Plan in order to
accomplish it.
Keith Kuhnly, 241 Woodridge Lane, shared the same concerns as Mr. Witham. He added
that noise and sights from second -story floors should be considered when designing the
buffer.
Yaron Hemi, resident of Shoreview, stated that ' development would affect a larger
area, including traffic and noise pollution which ollow big box development. He doesn't
consider this to fit the character of the neighborhood. I said there are about six grocery
stores within easy driving distance of this neighborhood e wondered where people
would be attracted to this store from. Mr. Henri wondered how much of a stake Oppidan
has if this development does not succeed. His opinion was that there are enough
abandoned stores and businesses in the neighborhood He added that he has traffic
concerns.
Mike Witham spoke again to state that although he understands there is a desire for
infrastructure improygnents, would the improvements* necessary without the big box
development. He wondered if there would be capacity issues with additional
development. He question0 the need for improvements versus the desire for
improvements. Mr. Witham would like to see a neighborhood friendly business.
Steve Garfield, 208 Woodridge Lane, stated that whatever is going to be built will be
there for a long time. He questioned if the city should lock into development right now
just because the economy on allows for this type of development at this time.
•
Joe Olson, 223 Woodridge Lane, had concerns about the ventilation system and what the
residents to the west will see when they look out over their deck or upstairs windows. He
noted that traffic cutting through the neighborhoods is a concern for both Shoreview &
Lino Lakes residents.
Chair Tralle explained that the results of a market study are shared with city staff, but are
not required to be shared with the public. He stated that the board will try to get the best
possible product for both the developer as well as the neighborhood. He noted that the
concerns of the citizens were heard by board members at the neighborhood meeting. He
added that a developer will not construct a building if they do not expect it to succeed.
Mr. Tucci addressed a number of the resident concerns.

that he feels there is a need for transition between single family homes and business, such
as multi - family homes in between. He wondered what precedence this will set for future
development.

The Board wondered why it would be considered acceptable for a multi - family residence
to be located next to a business rather than a single - family residence, pointing out that the
rights should be the same for residents.
Mr. Witham responded that he was of the understanding that planning included
transitioning between different land use zones. His understanding was that a single -
family zone is not usually located next to a general business zone.
This concluded the discussion for the Oppidan concept plan.

BACKGROUND
AGENDA ITEM V -A.
Mary Divine
August 10, 2011
CONSIDERATION OF a Resolution Finding that a Modified
Development Program for Development District No. 1 and the
Modified Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment
Financing District No. 1 -10 is Consistent with the Plans for
Development of the City of Lino Lakes
After several years of planning, in 2004, the City of Lino Lakes and its Economic Development
Authority (EDA) began an effort to redevelop a 40 -acre site at the intersection of County Road
23 and Interstate 35W known as Legacy at Woods Edge. The City's goal was to redevelop a
sandblasting plant and truck storage facility for mixed commercial and a diversity of housing
uses. To help make the redevelopment possible, the City and its EDA designated a portion of the
Property as Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -11. The City and EDA also entered into a
development contract with a private developer, providing for the long -term build -out of various
uses on the Property. The City and EDA subsequently provided financing in the form of GO
Bonds and Tax Increment Bonds.
Impact of Recession
The City completed the infrastructure and interchange improvements, and a portion of the
property was developed for various uses: a hotel (later converted to assisted living), a 60 -unit
affordable rental housing project, and commercial leasable space). But development stalled in the
face of the severe recession. The remaining 22 acres of the property were foreclosed by the
developer's lender. After exhausting efforts to find new users or developers, the lender
abandoned the foreclosed property, and it was tax - forfeited in the summer of 2010.
The result is that the City has outstanding bonds secured by either special assessments or tax
increments, in the aggregate amount of $7,840,000, and limited revenues to pay those
obligations.
Special Legislation
To mitigate the impact of the tax forfeiture of the undeveloped property, the City requested
special legislation to extend of the duration of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -10 ( "TIF
District No. 1 -10 "). This district is located along Lake Drive (County Road 23) in Centennial
School District. It is an economic development district that would be required to be decertified at
the end of 2013 under general law. Two of the parcels in Lakes Industrial Park are developed.
While TIF District No. 1 -10 was established primarily to help develop manufacturing and
warehouse improvements in that district, those improvements were part of the impetus for the
County Road 23 /Interstate 35W Interchange (along with the new development in Legacy at
Woods Edge). In fact, tax increments from TIF District No. 1 -10 are also pledged to pay part of
the debt service on the TIF Bonds described above.
The special legislation that has been approved and signed by the Governor includes the following
provisions:
1. It allows the EDA to collect increment from TIF District No. 1 -10 through the end of
2023. This extension matches the period when the TIF Bonds will be paid off.
Increment from TIF District No. 1 -10 would provide approximately $170,000 to
$200,000 /year to protect Lino Lakes residents from higher property taxes and to get it
back on the tax roll. This will save residents approximately $20 annually (based on a
$200,000 home).
2. After February 1, 2011, all tax increment from this district must be used only to pay debt
service on the Improvement Bonds or the TIF Bonds (or any future refunding bonds).
3. During the extended period, expenditures are exempt from the pooling and five year rules
(Section 469.176, subd. 3), and from the requirement that increment must assist only
manufacturing and related uses (Section 469.176, subd. 4c). These exemptions are
necessary to permit the use of increment for the TIF Bonds and Improvement Bonds.
The purpose of this extension is to provide revenues needed to replace the special assessments
that are not being paid on the tax - forfeited property, and the lost tax increments from
development that has not yet occurred. The City is continuing its efforts to develop Legacy at
Woods Edge, and over the long term remains confident that the additional development will
provide tax base and amenities for the residents of the city and the broader region. The city can
place assessments back on the property as it develops, so this extension of TIF District No. 1 -10
is a stop gap measure until development occurs. As assessments and tax increments from the
property become available, those revenues will reduce the need for the additional increment from
TIF District No. 1 -10.
After the special legislation was passed, the City Council, Anoka County and Centennial School
District approved the legislation. As required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, the
Development District and TIF District Plan must now be modified to reflect the extended
duration of the district and the increased budget, and to ensure that the modification conforms to
the Comprehensive Plan. While it is not expressly stated in the Statute, the finding that the
modification conforms to the Comprehensive Plan is typically made by the Planning & Zoning
Commission of the City. The City Council will hold a public hearing on August 22, and the EDA
and Council will then consider modification of the district.
ANALYSIS
When a Development Program is created or modified it is the role of the Planning and Zoning
Board to make a finding that the modification is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. On

•
The Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies call for promoting development and
redevelopment within the Development District, fostering the revitalization of underdeveloped
properties, increasing the tax base and facilitating development of a range of housing types and
commercial services; including:
1. Guiding the 22 -acres property for mixed use
2. Pursuing improvements to the I -3 5 W /Lake Drive interchange
3. Establishing the Town Center Village (Legacy at Woods Edge) as a high profile
community focal point that integrates a mixture of commercial, medium and high density
housing.
OPTIONS
1. Recommend approval of Resolution No. 11 -01 finding the Modified Development Program
for Development District 1 and for Tax Increment Financing District 1 -10 to be consistent

increase employment opportunities, improve the tax base and improve the general economy of Lino
Lakes and the State. The City established the Development District on January 26, 1987, and
subsequently transferred control and administration of the District to the Authority. The boundaries
of the Development District were most recently expanded on April 28, 1997 in connection with the
establishment of TIF District No. 1 -8.
Within the District, the City and /or Authority have previously created eleven TIF Districts. The
purpose of this modification of the Program is to acknowledge the Authority's intent to modify the
TIF Plan for TIF District No. 1 -10 in order to increase the estimated public costs and extend the
duration of that district, in order to help pay debt service on bonds related to the Interstate 35 and
Highway 23 interchange, and bonds related to the Legacy at Woods Edge development that is partly
within TIF District No. 11, all as authorized by the Special Law. .. This modified Program does not
change the boundaries of the District from those established at the time the Authority established
TIF District No. 8.
D. Statement of Objectives
The Authority will continue to seek to achieve the following objectives through the
modified Development District Program:

•
•
•
1. promote and secure the prompt development of property in Development District
No. 1 in a manner consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and with minimal
adverse impact on the environment, which property is currently less productive
because of the lack of proper utilization and lack of investment, thus promoting and
securing the development of other land in Lino Lakes;
2. encourage additional employment opportunities within Development District No. 1
and Lino Lakes for residents of the community and the surrounding area, thereby
improving living standards and preventing unemployment and the loss of skilled
labor and other human resources in the area;
3. secure the increase of property subject to taxation by the City, County, school
districts and other taxing jurisdictions in order to better enable such entities to pay
for public improvements and governmental services and programs required to be
provided by them;
4. secure the construction and provide moneys for the payment of the public costs
within Development District No. 1 which are necessary for the orderly and
beneficial development of the Development District;
5. promote the concentration of appropriate uses and related development within
Development District No. 1 in order to maintain the area in a manner compatible
with its highest and best use; and
6. encourage development within the District which is aesthetically pleasing and which
creates a positive visual image of the community.
7. promote redevelopment of property that is occupied by substandard buildings, which
will foster revitalization of that property, increase tax base, and facilitate
development of a range of housing types and commercial services in Development
District No. 1.
E. Environmental Controls
It is not anticipated that any development within the Development District will present
major environmental concerns. All actions by the Authority, public improvements and private
development will be carried out in compliance with applicable environmental standards.
F. Open Space to be Created
Any open space within the Development District will be created in accordance with the
development controls of the Authority and will be adequate for the needs of the residents of the
community.

G. Public Facilities to be Constructed
All public facilities constructed within the Development District will be financially feasible
and compatible with the City's long range development plans.
H. Proposed Reuse of Property
The Authority may acquire property within Development District No. 1 in order to resell the
land to a developer. Property within the Development District will be reused in accordance with the
City's ordinances and Comprehensive Plan as well as with this modified Program and the Modified
Plan for TIF District No. 1 -10 or the Plan for any other tax increment financing district within
Development District No. 1.
I. Development District Financing
Within Development District No. 1, the Authority will modify the TIF Plan for TIF District
No. 1 -10 to help pay debt service on certain outstanding bonds issued to finance various
improvements within the Development District, in accordance with the Special Law.
Debt service costs paid from TIF District No. 1 -10, and public development costs for all
previously established tax increment districts, will be met primarily through pledged increment. For
detailed development and financing plans for each TIF District, refer to the individual TIF Plan for
the relevant TIF District.
J. Relocation
In establishing TIF Districts, Authority may find it necessary to pay for relocation for
individuals or businesses displaced by public action. The Authority accepts its responsibility for
providing for relocation pursuant to section 469.133 of the Act. If relocation is necessary,
provisions will be made in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, sections 117.50 through 117.56, as
amended.
K. Administration of Development District
Maintenance and operation of the public improvements is the responsibility of the
Administrator of Development District No. 1. Each year the Administrator will submit to the
Authority the maintenance and operation budget for the following year. The Administrator will
administer the Development District pursuant to the provisions of section 469.131 of the Act;
provided, however, that such powers may only be exercised at the direction of the Authority. No
action taken by the Administrator shall be effective without authorization by the Authority. The
Authority has not and does not anticipate the need to create an advisory board to advise the
Authority on the planning, construction or implementation of the activities and improvements
outlined in the Development Program.

INTRODUCTION
The Authority, on August 11, 2003, created Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-10, within Development
District No. 1, and adopted a Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "Plan ") in connection therewith. The
boundaries of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1.10 are not being modified due to this amendment.
The Authority intends to modify the Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -10 on August 22, 2011
(this modification) to provide for the financing of certain debt service costs on bonds issued to finance the
interchange of Anoka County Highway 23 and Interstate 35W and debt service on bonds issued to finance public
improvements serving the development known as Legacy at Woods Edge. All tax increment remaining in the
account of TIF District No. 1 -10 after February 1, 2011, and all tax increments collected thereafter must be
used only for one of the two activities listed above. Minnesota Statutes 469.176, Subd. 4c, and 469.1763 do
not apply to expenditures made under this section.
Further, under 2011 Minnesota Laws, Ch. 112, Art. 11, Section 18 (the "Special Law "), the Authority is authorized
to extend the duration of TIF District No. 1 -10 and collect tax increments from the TIF District through December
31, 2023 and use such increments for the restricted uses previously described. The purpose of the modification
to the Plan is to increase the authorized tax increment revenues and public costs, to authorize for `pooling'
of increment to pay the debt service on the bond issues, and to extend the duration of the district in
accordance with the 2011 Special Law.
The sections of the Modified Plan specifically being modified include Section F: Duration of the TIF District;
Section G: Property to be Included in the District; Section K: Estimated Public Costs; Section L: Estimated
Sources of Revenue; Section 0: Original Tax Capacity Rate; Section S. Tax Increment Pooling and the Five
Year Rule; and Section V: Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions. This modification may not reflect
all changes that have occurred since the District was established on August 11, 2003, but is intended to
reflect the changes applicable to the district pursuant to the Special Law that was passed.

City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
Section D Statement of Objectives
The Authority seeks to achieve the following objectives through the establishment of TIF District No. 1 -10;
1. provide employment opportunities within the community.
2. improve the tax base of Lino Lakes and the general economy of the City and State;
3. encourage industrial development in an area of the community which has not been utilized to its full
potential; and
4. implement relevant portions of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Authority's specific purpose in establishing TIF District No. 1 -10 is to promote public improvements to Lake Drive
and the development of four manufacturing facilities in the Marshan Lake Business Park. The Panattoni project will
consist of an approximate 265,000 square foot distribution facility. Future expansions may also include three
additional outlot buildings totaling 160,000 square feet. The Authority intends to use increment generated by the new
developments to write down land costs and the cost of special assessments, including the interest portion and for
public improvements to Lake Drive.
Section E Designation of Tax Increment Financing District as an
Economic Development District
Economic development districts are a type of tax increment financing district which consist of any project, or portions
of a project, which the Authority finds to be in the public interest because:
(1) it will discourage commerce, industry, or manufacturing from moving their operations to
another state or municipality;
(2) it will result in increased employment in the state; or
(3) it will result in preservation and enhancement of the tax base of the state.
The TIF District qualifies as an economic development district in that the proposed development described in this TIF
Plan (see Section I) meets all of the criteria listed above. Without establishment of the TIF District, the proposed
development would not occur within the City, but would be located in another municipality. The proposed
development will also result in increased employment and enhancement of the tax base in both the City and the
State.
Tax increments from an economic development district must be used to provide improvements, loans, subsidies,
grants, interest rate subsidies, or other assistance in which at least 85% of the square footage of the facilities to be
constructed are used for any of the following purposes:
(1) manufacturing, production, or processing of tangible personal property;
(2) warehousing, storage and distribution of tangible personal property, excluding retail sales;
(3) research and development related to the activities listed in (1) or (2) above;
(4) telemarketing if that activity is the exclusive use of the property;
(5) tourism facilities (see M.S. Section 469.174, Subd. 22);
(6) qualified border retail facilities (see M.S. Section 469.176, Subd. 4c); or
(7) space necessary for and related to the activities listed in (1) through (6) above.
SPRINGSTED Page 2
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
In addition to the uses specified above, tax increments may also be used to provide assistance for up to 15,000
square feet of any separately owned commercial facility located within a "small city" (see M.S. Section 469.176, Subd.
4c), or to pay for excessive site preparation and public improvement costs in a district containing bedrock soils
conditions in 80% or more of its acreage (see M.S. Section 469.176, Subd. 4c).
Tax increments from the TIF District will be used to provide financial assistance to the proposed development (see
Section 1), in which over 85% of the square footage of the facilities to be constructed will be used for manufacturing or
other purposes as listed in (1) above.
Section F Duration of the TIF District and the Three Year Rule
Economic development districts may remain in existence 8 years from the date of receipt by the authority of the first
tax increment. The Authority anticipates that the TIF District will remain in existence the maximum duration allowed
by law (projected to be through the year 2014). Modifications of this plan (sec Section M) shall not extend these
limitations.
In addition, no tax increments shall be paid to the Authority from the TIF District after three years from the date of
certification unless within that time period:
(1) bonds have been issued in aid of the Project Area (except revenue bonds issued pursuant to M.S.
Sections 169.152 to 169.165);
(2) thc Authority has acquired property within the TIF District; or
(3) thc Authority has constructed public improvements within the TIF District.
The proposed August 22, 2011 modification reflects the extension of the district through December 31, 2023 in
accordance with the 2011 Special Law. Generally, economic development districts may remain in existence 8 years
from the date of receipt by the Authority of the first tax increment. Based on receipt of first increment the statutorily -
required decertification date of the District is December 31, 2013. However the 2011 Special Law allows the term of
the district to be extended until December 31, 2023, if the Authority uses such increments to pay::
• debt service on bonds issued to finance the interchange of Anoka County Highway 23 and Interstate 35W and
• debt service on bonds issued to finance public improvements serving the development known as Legacy at
Woods Edqe.
All tax increments remaining in the account of TIF District No. 1 -10 after February 1, 2011, and all tax increments
collected thereafter must be used only for one of the two activities listed above. Minnesota Statutes 469.176, Subd.
4c, and 469.1763 do not apply to expenditures made under this section.
The Authority reserves the right to allow the TIF District to remain in existence the maximum duration allowed by the
2011 Special Law, and anticipates that the TIF District may be active for the maximum duration allowed. However the
Authority will decertify the TIF District as early as possible should the projected increment be received in a shorter
time period than originally projected. All tax increments from taxes payable in the year the TIF District is decertified
shall be paid to the Authority.

Section H Property to be Acquired in the TIF District
The Authority may acquire and sell any or all of the property located within the TIF District; however, the Authority
does not anticipate acquiring any such property at this time.
Section I Specific Development Expected to Occur Within the TIF District
The project will consist of the construction of four industrial buildings to be used for manufacturing. The first building
to be constructed is expected to be 265,000 square feet and completed by 2004. Outlots A, B and C are expected to
be 40,000 square feet completed in 2005, 60,000 square feet completed in 2006 and 60,000 square feet completed in
2007, respectively. In addition, a portion of the increment will be used for Lake Drive improvements.
The four facilities are expected to be fully constructed in 2007 and be 100% assessed and on the tax rolls as of
January 2, 2008 for taxes payable in 2009.
At the time this document was prepared there were no signed construction contracts with regards to the above
described development.
Section J Findings and Need for Tax Increment Financing
In establishing the TIF District, the City makes the following findings:
(1)
The TIF District qualifies as an economic development district;
See Section E of this document for the reasons and facts supporting this finding.
(2) The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur
solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future, and the increased
market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax
increment would be less than the increase in market value estimated to result from the proposed
development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum
duration of the TIF District permitted by the TIF Plan;
The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur
solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future: The proposed
development is an industrial park including various manufacturing and warehouse uses. The land
in the TIF District has been vacant for many years, despite previous efforts by the City to
encourage its development (including establishment of a previous tax increment financing district
that includes most of these parcels.) The site requires sewer, water and road improvements to
accommodate manufacturing and warehouse development, and the cost of those improvements
may not, as a practical matter, be passed to proposed developers and users of the site, based on
analysis of market conditions in Lino Lakes. In addition, the City has reviewed a pro forma
submitted by the initial proposed developer, showing that the cost of land acquisition and public
improvements make the proposed development infeasible assuming customary rates of return.
The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use
of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in market value estimated to result from
the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for
the maximum duration of the TIF District permitted by the TIF Plan: As noted above, the site has
been vacant for many years. Without installation of the improvements needed to serve the area,
SPRINGSTED Page 5
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
• the City has no reason to expect that significant development would occur without assistance
similar to that provided in this plan. Therefore, the City concludes as follows:
•
(3)
a. The city's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the site will increase
without the use of tax increment financing is $0, except for a small amount attributable to
appreciation in land value.
b. If all development which is proposed to be assisted with tax increment were to occur in the
District, the total increase in market value would be approximately $16,963,000.
c. The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration of the
district permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be $1,254,113 (See Exhibit V)
d. Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur, the
Council finds that no alternative would occur that would produce a market value increase
greater than $15,708,887 (the amount in clause b less the amount in clause c) without tax
increment assistance.
The TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for development or redevelopment of the City as a
whole; and
The reasons and facts supporting this finding are that the TIF District is properly zoned,
and the TIF Plan has been approved by the City Planning Commission and will generally
compliment and serve to implement policies adopted in the City's comprehensive plan.
(4) The TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a
whole, for the development of the Project Area by private enterprise.
The reasons and facts supporting this finding are that the development activities are
necessary so that development and redevelopment by private enterprise can occur within
the Project Area.
Section K Estimated Public Costs
The estimated public costs of the TIF District are listed below. Such costs are eligible for reimbursement from tax
increments of the TIF District.

The Authority reserves the right to administratively adjust the amount of any of the items listed above or to
incorporate additional eligible items, so long as the total estimated public cost is not increased.
Section L Estimated Sources of Revenue
The Authority anticipates providing financial assistance to the proposed development through the use of a pay -as-
you-go technique. As tax increments are collected from the TIF District in future years, a portion of these taxes will
be distributed to the developer /owner as reimbursement for public costs incurred (see Section K).
The Authority reserves the right to finance any or all public costs of the TIF District using pay -as- you -go assistance,
internal funding, general obligation or revenue debt, or any other financing mechanism authorized by law. The
Authority also reserves the right to use other sources of revenue legally applicable to the Project Area to pay for such
costs including, but not limited to, special assessments, utility revenues, federal or state funds, and investment
income.
Section M Estimated Amount of Bonded Indebtedness
The Authority may issue bonds or pay as you go notes or interfund loans in an original principal amount not to exceed
$1,785,000.
Section N Original Net Tax Capacity
The County Auditor shall certify the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. This value will be equal to the total net
tax capacity of all property in the TIF District as certified by the State Commissioner of Revenue. For districts certified
between January 1 and June 30, inclusive, this value is based on the previous assessment year. For districts
certified between July 1 and December 31, inclusive, this value is based on the current assessment year.
The Estimated Market Value of all property within the TIF District as of January 2, 2003, for taxes payable in 2004, is
$885,000. Upon establishment of the TIF District, and subsequent reclassification of property, it is estimated that the
original net tax capacity of the TIF District will be approximately $16,950.
Each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount that the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased as
a result of:
(1) changes in the tax - exempt status of property;
(2) reductions or enlargements of the geographic area of the TIF District;
(3) changes due to stipulation agreements or abatements; or

Authority also reserves the right to use other sources of revenue legally applicable to the Project Area to pay for such
costs including, but not limited to, special assessments, utility revenues, federal or state funds, and investment
income.
Section M Estimated Amount of Bonded Indebtedness
The Authority may issue bonds or pay as you go notes or interfund loans in an original principal amount not to exceed
$1,785,000.
Section N Original Net Tax Capacity
The County Auditor shall certify the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. This value will be equal to the total net
tax capacity of all property in the TIF District as certified by the State Commissioner of Revenue. For districts certified
between January 1 and June 30, inclusive, this value is based on the previous assessment year. For districts
certified between July 1 and December 31, inclusive, this value is based on the current assessment year.
The Estimated Market Value of all property within the TIF District as of January 2, 2003, for taxes payable in 2004, is
$885,000. Upon establishment of the TIF District, and subsequent reclassification of property, it is estimated that the
original net tax capacity of the TIF District will be approximately $16,950.
Each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount that the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased as
a result of:
(1) changes in the tax - exempt status of property;
(2) reductions or enlargements of the geographic area of the TIF District;
(3) changes due to stipulation agreements or abatements; or

(4) changes in property classification rates.
Section 0 Original Tax Capacity Rate
The County Auditor shall also certify the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District. This rate shall be the sum of all
local tax rates that apply to property in the TIF District. This rate shall be for the same taxes payable year as the
original net tax capacity.
In future years, the amount of tax increment generated by the TIF District will be calculated using the lesser of (a) the
sum of the current local tax rates at that time or (b) the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District.

The sum of the local tax rates for taxes levied in 2003 and payable in 2004 is 120.530% and has previously been
certified as the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District. This is the 'frozen' rate of the district. Should the sum of
current local tax capacity rates be greater than 120.530 %, the district is limited to the captured amount of increment
based on the frozen rate. Any additional amounts are generated as excess increment and retained by the County.
Section P Projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity and
Projected Tax Increment
Each year the County Auditor shall determine the current net tax capacity of all property in the TIF District. To the
extent that this total exceeds the original net tax capacity, the difference shall be known as the captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District.
For communities affected by the fiscal disparity provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 473F and Chapter 276A,
the original net tax capacity of the TIF District shall be determined before the application of fiscal disparity. In
subsequent years, the current net tax capacity shall exclude the product of any fiscal disparity increase in the TIF
District (since the original net tax capacity was certified) times the appropriate fiscal disparity ratio.
The County Auditor shall certify to the Authority the amount of captured net tax capacity each year. The Authority
may choose to retain any or all of this amount. It is the Authority's intention to retain 100% of the captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District. Such amount shall be known as the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District.
Exhibit II gives a listing of the various information and assumptions used in preparing a number of the exhibits
contained in this TIF Plan, including Exhibit III which shows the projected tax increment generated over the
anticipated life of the TIF District.
SPRINGSTED Page 8
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
Section Q Use of Tax Increment
Each year the County Treasurer shall deduct 0.36% of the annual tax increment generated by the TIF District and pay
such amount to the State's General Fund. Such amounts will be appropriated to the State Auditor for the cost of
financial reporting and auditing of tax increment financing information throughout the state. Exhibit III shows the
projected deduction for this purpose over the anticipated life of the TIF District.
The Authority has determined that it will use 100% of the remaining tax increment generated by the TIF District for
any of the following purposes:
(1) pay for the estimated public costs of the TIF District (see Section K) and County administrative
costs associated with the TIF District (see Section T);
(2) pay principal and interest on tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to finance the estimated
public costs of the TIF District;
(3)
accumulate a reserve securing the payment of tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to
finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District;
(4) pay all or a portion of the county road costs as may be required by the County Board under M.S.
Section 469.175, Subdivision 1 a; or
(5)
return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County and School
District.
Tax increments from property located in one county must be expended for the direct and primary benefit of a project
located within that county, unless both county boards involved waive this requirement. Tax increments shall not be
used to circumvent levy limitations applicable to the City.
Tax increment shall not be used to finance the acquisition, construction, renovation, operation, or maintenance of a
building to be used primarily and regularly for conducting the business of a municipality, county, school district, or any
other local unit of government or the State or federal government, or for a commons area used as a public park, or a
facility used for social, recreational, or conference purposes. This prohibition does not apply to the construction or
renovation of a parking structure or of a privately owned facility for conference purposes.
If there exists any type of agreement or arrangement providing for the developer, or other beneficiary of assistance, to
repay all or a portion of the assistance that was paid or financed with tax increments, such payments shall be subject
to all of the restrictions imposed on the use of tax increments. Assistance includes sale of property at less than the
cost of acquisition or fair market value, grants, ground or other leases at less then fair market rent, interest rate
subsidies, utility service connections, roads, or other similar assistance that would otherwise be paid for by the
developer or beneficiary.
Section R Excess Tax Increment
In any year in which the tax increments from the TIF District exceed the amount necessary to pay the estimated
public costs authorized by the TIF Plan, the Authority shall use the excess tax increments to:
(1) prepay any outstanding tax increment bonds;
(2) discharge the pledge of tax increments thereof;
(3) pay amounts into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of the tax increment bonds; or
SPRINGSTED Page 9

City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
(4) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County and School
District. The County Auditor must report to the Commissioner of Education the amount of any
excess tax increment redistributed to the School District within 30 days of such redistribution.
Section S Tax Increment Pooling and the Five Year Rule
At least 80% of the tax increments from the TIF District must be expended on activities within the district or to pay for
bonds used to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District (see Section E for additional restrictions). No
more than 20% of the tax increments may be spent on costs outside of the TIF District but within the boundaries of
the Project Area, except to pay debt service on credit enhanced bonds. All administrative expenses are considered to
have been spent outside of the TIF District. Tax increments are considered to have been spent within the TIF District
if such amounts are:
(1) actually paid to a third party for activities performed within the TIF District within five years after
certification of the district;
(2) used to pay bonds that were issued and sold to a third party, the proceeds of which are reasonably
expected on the date of issuance to be spent within the later of the five -year period or a reasonable
temporary period or are deposited in a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund.
(3)
used to make payments or reimbursements to a third party under binding contracts for activities
performed within the TIF District, which were entered into within five years after certification of the
district; or
(4) used to reimburse a party for payment of eligible costs (including interest) incurred within five years
from certification of the district.
Beginning with the sixth year following certification of the TIF District, at least 80% of the tax increments must be used
to pay outstanding bonds or make contractual payments obligated within the first five years. When outstanding bonds
have been defeased and sufficient money has been set aside to pay for such contractual obligations, the TIF District
must be decertified.
administrative expenses); however, the Authority does reserve thc right to allow for tax increment pooling from thc
TIF District in the future. The Authority anticipates that tax increments will be spent outside of the TIF District. All tax
increments remaining in the account of TIF District No. 1 -10 after February 1, 2011, and all tax increments collected
thereafter must be used only to pay debt service on bonds issued to finance the interchange of Anoka County Highway
23 and Interstate 35W and bonds issued to finance public improvements serving the development known as Legacy at
Woods Edge. Minnesota Statutes 469.176, Subd. 4c, and 469.1763 do not apply to expenditures made under this
section..
Section T Limitation on Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses are defined as all costs of the Authority other than:
(1) amounts paid for the purchase of land;
(2) amounts paid for materials and services, including architectural and engineering services directly
connected with the physical development of the real property in the project;
(3)
relocation benefits paid to, or services provided for, persons residing or businesses located in the
• project;
SPRINGSTED Page 10
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
(4) amounts used to pay principal or interest on, fund a reserve for, or sell at a discount bonds issued
pursuant to section 469.178; or
(5)
amounts used to pay other financial obligations to the extent those obligations were used to finance
costs described in clause (1) to (3).
Administrative expenses include amounts paid for services provided by bond counsel, fiscal consultants, planning or
economic development consultants, and actual costs incurred by the County in administering the TIF District. Tax
increments may be used to pay administrative expenses of the TIF District up to the lesser of (a) 10% of the total tax
increment expenditures authorized by the TIF Plan or (b) 10% of the total tax increments received by the TIF District,
Section U Limitation on Property Not Subject to Improvements - Four Year Rule
If after four years from certification of the TIF District no demolition, rehabilitation, renovation, or qualified
improvement of an adjacent street has commenced on a parcel located within the TIF District, then that parcel shall
be excluded from the TIF District and the original net tax capacity shall be adjusted accordingly. Qualified
improvements of a street are limited to construction or opening of a new street, relocation of a street, or substantial
reconstruction or rebuilding of an existing street. The Authority must submit to the County Auditor, by February 1 of
the fifth year, evidence that the required activity has taken place for each parcel in the TIF District.
If a parcel is excluded from the TIF District and the Authority or owner of the parcel subsequently commences any of
the above activities, the Authority shall certify to the County Auditor that such activity has commenced and the parcel
shall once again be included in the TIF District. The County Auditor shall certify the net tax capacity of the parcel, as
most recently certified by the Commissioner of Revenue, and add such amount to the original net tax capacity of the
TIF District.
Section V Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
Exhibit IV shows the estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions if the maximum projected retained captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District was hypothetically available to the other taxing jurisdictions. The Authority believes that
there will be no adverse impact on other taxing jurisdictions during the life of the TIF District, since the proposed
development would not have occurred without the establishment of the TIF District and the provision of public
assistance. A positive impact on other taxing jurisdictions will occur when the TIF District is decertified and the
development therein becomes part of the general tax base.
The fiscal and economic implications of the proposed tax increment financing district, as pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 2, are listed below.
1. The total amount of tax increment that is estimated to be generated over the extended life of the district
(during the special legislation period of 2014 -2023) is estimated to be $1,916,264. The total estimated
increment generated from 2011 -2023 is $2,437,629 as shown in Exhibit II.
2. To the extent that spending of tax increments from TIF District 1 -10 on anticipated projects may generate
any public cost impacts on city- provided services such as police and fire protection, public infrastructure, and
the impact of any general obligation tax increment bonds attributable to the district upon the ability to issue
other debt for general fund purposes, such costs will be levied upon the taxable net tax capacity of the City,
excluding that portion captured by the District. During the term of the special legislation, the Authority will
use all available tax increment to finance debt service on existing bonds.
3. The amount of tax increments over the extended life of the district (2014 -2023) that would be attributable to
school district levies, assuming the school district's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions
remained the same, is estimated to be $473,258. The total estimated increment attributable to the school
district's share for the years 2011 -2023 is $599,852 as shown in Exhibit II.
SPRINGSTED Page 11

City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
4. The amount of tax increments over the extended life of the district (2014 -2023) that would be attributable to
county levies, assuming the county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the
same is estimated to be $581,169. The total estimated increment attributable to the county's share for the
years 2011 -2023 is $736,628 as shown in Exhibit II.
5. No additional information has been requested by the county or school district that would enable it to
determine additional costs that will accrue to it due to the development proposed for the district.
Section W Prior Planned Improvements
The Authority shall accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor (or notice of district enlargement),
with a listing of all properties within the TIF District for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months
immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan. The County Auditor shall increase the original net tax capacity of the
TIF District by the net tax capacity of each improvement for which a building permit was issued.
There have been no building permits issued in the last 18 months in conjunction with any of the properties within the
TIF District.
Section X Development Agreements
If within a project containing an economic development district, more than 10% of the acreage of the property to be
acquired by the Authority is purchased with tax increment bonds proceeds (to which tax increment from the property
is pledged), then prior to such acquisition, the Authority must enter into an agreement for the development of the
property. Such agreement must provide recourse for the Authority should the development not be completed.
The Authority anticipates entering into an agreement for development, but does not anticipate acquiring any property
located within the TIF District.
Section Y Assessment Agreements
The Authority may, upon entering into a development agreement, also enter into an assessment agreement with the
developer, which establishes a minimum market value of the land and improvements for each year during the life of
the TIF District.
The assessment agreement shall be presented to the County or City Assessor who shall review the plans and
specifications for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land, and
so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears to be an accurate estimate,
shall certify the assessment agreement as reasonable. The assessment agreement shall be filed for record in the
office of the County Recorder of each county where the property is located. Any modification or premature
termination of this agreement must first be approved by the City, County and School District.
The Authority anticipates entering into an assessment agreement.
Section Z Modifications of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Any reduction or enlargement in the geographic area of the Project Area or the TIF District; increase in the amount of
bonded indebtedness to be incurred; increase in the amount of capitalized interest; increase in that portion of the
captured net tax capacity to be retained by the Authority; increase in the total estimated public costs; or designation of
• additional property to be acquired by the Authority shall be approved only after satisfying all the necessary
requirements for approval of the original TIF Plan. This paragraph does not apply if:
SPRINGSTED Page 12
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
the only modification is elimination of parcels from the TIF District; and
the current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminated equals or exceeds the net tax capacity of
those parcels in the TIF District's original net tax capacity, or the Authority agrees that the TIF
Districts original net tax capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net tax capacity of the
parcels eliminated.
The Authority must notify the County Auditor of any modification that reduces or enlarges the geographic area of the
TIF District. The geographic area of the TIF District may be reduced but not enlarged after five years following the
date of certification.
Section AA Administration of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Upon adoption of the TIF Plan, the Authority shall submit a copy of such plan to the Minnesota Department of
Revenue. The Authority shall also request that the County Auditor certify the original net tax capacity and net tax
capacity rate of the TIF District. To assist the County Auditor in this process, the Authority shall submit copies of the
TIF Plan, the resolution establishing the TIF District and adopting the TIF Plan, and a listing of any prior planned
improvements. The Authority shall also send the County Assessor any assessment agreement establishing the
minimum market value of land and improvements in the TIF District, and shall request that the County Assessor
review and certify this assessment agreement as reasonable.

timely manner.
if the County Auditor receives the request for certification of a new TIF District, or for modification of
an existing TIF District, before July 1, the request shall be recognized in determining local tax rates
for the current and subsequent levy years. Requests received on or after July 1 shall be used to
determine local tax rates in subsequent years.
each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount of the original net tax capacity of the TIF
District. The amount certified shall reflect any changes that occur as a result of the following:
(a) the value of property that changes from tax - exempt to taxable shall be added to the
original net tax capacity of the TIF District. The reverse shall also apply;
(b) the original net tax capacity may be modified by any approved enlargement or reduction of
the TIF District;
(c) if laws governing the classification of real property cause changes to the percentage of
estimated market value to be applied for property tax purposes, then the resulting increase
or decrease in net tax capacity shall be applied proportionately to the original net tax
capacity and the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District.
The County Auditor shall notify the Authority of all changes made to the original net tax capacity of the TIF District.

AGENDA ITEM V B
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser
P & Z MEETING DATE: August 10, 2011
DISCUSSION TOPIC: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING
Amending Section 6 of the Zoning Ordinance
(Residential Zones)
BACKGROUND
This P & Z opened this public hearing at the June meeting. We went through Section 6 in its
entirety and resolved most issues, but the Board continued the hearing to July to allow further
discussion. The P & Z supported amendments to the R -2 zone to accommodate detached homes
in the new Medium Density Residential land use category (4.0 — 5.9 units per acre). This
requires reducing lot widths to 60 feet, lot depths to 125 feet, and lot areas to 7500 sf. Given
these reduced lot dimensions, staff proposed a limit on the size of garages facing the street in an
R -2 zone. The intent is to avoid a neighborhood streetscape of garage doors overwhelming the
houses. After the July meeting, the specific garage door parameters in the R -2 zone was the only
unresolved issue for residential zones.
ANALYSIS
The P & Z discussed the following proposals at the July meeting and found it unsatisfactory:
Subd. 4. R -2, Two Family Residential District.
E. Building Design Standards.
5. Garage Location. No portion of an attached garage may extend closer to
the street than the rest of the structure footprint.
6. Garage Frontage. From side wall to side wall of any residential structure
footprint, no more than forty (40) percent of the structure width shall consist of
garage doors that face the street. Side or rear loaded garages are not
subject to this requirement. This requirement also does not apply if garage
doors that face the street are set back at least ten (10) feet from the front wall
of the habitable space within the dwelling structure.
As an alternative, we propose the following, adapted from requirements included in the City of
Chaska's zoning ordinance:
5. The following conditions are to be used with respect to the positioning of the •
garage on all residential lots if the garage door faces the street. Side or rear
loaded garages are not subject to these requirements.
a. No garage shall protrude beyond the front wall of the house, unless the
house includes a substantial front porch.
c. A substantial front porch shall be: unenclosed; have a minimum depth
of 8 feet; and extend across 100 percent of the front of house.
6. If the garage door faces the street, the length of the garage wall facing the
street shall not be greater than fifty percent (50 %) of the length of the entire
front facade of the structure; except on lots that comply with all of the
following conditions:
a. The second floor living space shall extend over the two -car portion of
the garage; and
b. The garage doors shall be decorative and shall provide for strip
windows along the upper edge of the garage door; and
c. Houses that provide for a three -car garage shall break the garage into
two -car and one -car sections with the one -car section being recessed
four feet; and
d. Maximum width of the garage shall be 32 feet.
OPTIONS
1. Finalize text on R -2 zone garages. Close public hearing on Section 6, and recommend
approval of amendments to Section 6.
2. Continue public hearing and return to staff with direction.

AGENDA ITEM V C
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser
P & Z MEETING DATE: August 10, 2011
DISCUSSION TOPIC: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING
Amending Section 7 of the Zoning Ordinance
(Business Zones)
BACKGROUND
At the July meeting, the P & Z opened the public hearing on amending Section 7 of the zoning
ordinance. Section 7 currently includes the three business zoning districts: Neighborhood
Business, Limited Business, and General Business. We worked through these three zones and
after a few revisions, the Board was comfortable with the proposed amendments. Because of the
late hour, the public hearing was continued to the August meeting.
Staff is proposing a new business zoning district to address several difficulties that have arisen
over time in the area where Olive, Orange, and Maple Streets intersect with Lake Drive. The
intent is that the new zone would include the area guided Commercial on the attached detail of
the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. It should be understood that the rezoning action
itself will occur in the future and involve a separate public hearing.
Tonight, we will discuss the proposed new zoning district. The draft of the new district is
attached, along with some maps that will assist with understanding the issues to be resolved.
OPTIONS
1. Complete discussion of amendments to Section 7, business zones. Close public hearing.
Recommend approval of amendments to Section 7.
2. Continue public hearing and return to staff with direction.

STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser
P & Z MEETING DATE: August 10, 2011
TOPIC: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING:
Conditional Use Permit Amendment
Motor Fuel Station, 7997 Lake Drive
BACKGROUND
The Planning and Zoning Board originally opened this public hearing at the June 2011 meeting.
The reason behind this was that the application was incomplete and therefore not ready for a
complete review and board action. We have been continuing the hearing each month since then.
Staff was scheduled to meet with the applicant's team on August 8 to discuss the project. The
intent was to ensure a complete submittal for the September meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Continue the public hearing to the September meeting.
