EDC Minutes <br />April 21, 2006 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />2. Update on SYSCO Minnesota Parking Expansion: Backman provided a quick background <br />regarding the parking lot expansion. On April 14th Sysco submitted construction plans and <br />the final plat. Overall the project looks good and is moving forward. <br /> <br />3. Hidden Hollow South Residential Project—Dan Saplis, Coldwell Banker/Burnet: Mr. Saplis, <br />the developer is going before the City Council on April 24, 2006 for approval of the final plat <br />and development agreement. A model home is planned for Lot #6 and the builder will be <br />moving to Mounds View. Plans for the model home were submitted to Community <br />Development on April 14th and are being reviewed. <br /> <br />4. Status of the Premium Stop Site: The gasoline tanks were removed on or about April13th. <br />Now the contractors are in the environmental review process. Ericson has spoken with the <br />owner. The environmental review process has been completed. Results showed the site to <br />be relatively clean. Reports should be ready in a couple of weeks. Field asked who is <br />responsible for the demolition of the structures. Ericson replied that the City would do so. <br /> <br />5. Legislative Activity: $1.2 million appropriation for I-35W Design Concept Study and the <br />Noise Wall Extension in Mounds View: Backman indicated that there has been a fair amount <br />of activity on this over the past month. The City has been seeking $1.2 million--$822,000 for <br />the design study for improvements to 35W from Lexington to 694, and $400,000 for <br />additional resources for the noise wall extension on the south side of Trunk Highway 10. <br />(MnDot already has programmed $300,000 in 2007 for the noise wall project.) City staff and <br />the I-35W Corridor Coalition have been trying to get legislation heard or amended to the <br />Omnibus Transportation bill. Thus far, it has not happened. There is good support from <br />area legislators, the Governor’s office and Medtronic. However, it appears that the budget <br />targets do not allow for the appropriation this year. The City will work with legislators in the <br />upcoming legislative session to move it forward. <br /> <br />7. ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />There being no further business before the Commission, Helgemoe adjourned the April 21st meeting of <br />the Economic Development Commission at 8:57 a.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Aaron A.
