The purpose of the work session was to present an Economic Development update to the Council. Mr. Miller gave the Council a handout with a list of six (6) Commercial /Industrial Developers who have contacted this City since January 1, 1991. He also gave the Council a list of five (5) Residential Builders /Developers who have contacted the City after January 1, 1991. Mr. Miller explained that during the third quarter of 1990, there were almost no contacts from any developers. The first quarter of 1991 looks promising.

The last page of the handout is the commercial /industrial update listing projects currently in the planning stages and areas where there have been inquiries regarding development. The second handout presented by Mr. Miller outlined a proposed office /warehouse building to be constructed by Doug Boe and his construction management firm, Belair Builders, Inc. The building is proposed to be constructed on a lot at the intersection of Lilac Drive and Industrial Boulevard in the Industrial Park. Mr. Miller asked the Council for input regarding finding businesses who would rent or lease space from Mr. Boe. Mr. Miller explained that he is working with Mr. Roger Kolstad and Mr. Jack Menkveld regarding developing the Karl Behm property. This development would require sanitary sewer and municipal water. Council Member Neal asked if anything is happening with Inside Sports. Mr. Miller explained that proposals keep coming back to the City and each time the proposal is more favorable to the City than the one (1) before. He felt there was a better than a 50/50 change the facility would be constructed. The work session was adjourned at 6:35 P.M. PAGE 1 1 1 WORK SESSION MEETING NOTICE LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL MONDAY 25 MARCH 1991 6:00 P.M. 1. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT UPDATE 1 1 041 042 MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Randy Schumacher, City Administrator FROM: John Miller DATE: March 22, 1991 SUBJECT: Proposed Boe Office /Warehouse Building For the last several weeks I have been working with Doug Boe and his construction management firm, Belair Builders, Inc. Boe owns the vacant lot at the intersection of Lilac Drive and Industrial Boulevard in the Lino Industrial Park. Boe and Belair Builders are interested in constructing a 20,000 square foot building using tilt -up concrete panels. This would be consistent with the building exterior of the existing Custom Manufacturing and the planned Emtech and B R Industries buildings. It would also be the city's first "incubator building" as the building would be divided into bays ranging in size from 2,500 to 5,000 square feet. The bays would be rented or leased to individual businesses. This would give the city a location for new businesses in a properly zoned area and the need for backyard locations is ended. Now there is just one problem. We have to find people who want to start business' or who want to move from other locations to the Lino Industrial Park. Can the city council members be of help in this? Council people know a lot of people in the city. Who is looking for space? Attached is a letter from Boe's builder, giving details of rent and building specifications. What can we do to sell this? 1 1 1 1 RELAIR B U I L D E R S I N C March 7, 1991 Mr. John Miller City Planner City of Lino Lakes 1189 Main Street Lino Lakes, MN 55014 SUBJECT: Proposed Boe Office /Warehouse Building Dear John: 043 Pursuant to your request, allow me to give you some conceptual information relating to subject building. Mr. Boe envisions a 20,000 to 25,000 square foot building with a unit mix varying in bay size from 2,500 to 5,000 square feet per unit. Prices would be approximately $5.00 per square foot warehouse and $8.00 per square foot office or build -to -suit prices would vary.
