APPROVED FOR
AGENDA BY:
The City has received an inquiry from Northland Investment,
the owner of approximately 130 acres which borders County Road
13 and I-94.
In an very_Vreliminary.way, this property is under consideration
for a 300,000 to 350,000 sq.ft. building, strictly for office use.
Not unlike what West Publishing had in mind,'this company (which
has yet to be made public) is looking for a minimum of 50 acres
so its development would have a campus -type setting.
To accommodate a development of this nature, the City would have
to petition for an expansion of the MUSA. This would require a
major amendment to our Comprehensive Plan.
Before the landowner will proceed with pursuing this with the
company that is looking for a site,' he would like a favorable
commitment from the Council that it would indeed favor a MUSA
expansion.
Mayor Johnson has invited a representative from the League of
Minnesota Cities to talk to the Council about different
financing options that are available.
