Draft EDC Minutes <br />Sept 19, 2014 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />Administrator Ericson described the new major subdivision taking place at the <br />southwest corner of Ardan Avenue and Eastwood Road. The subdivision will create <br />five new single-family lots on excess Abiding Savior Lutheran Church property. <br /> <br />Administrator Ericson updated the Commission on the new BioLife project which will <br />be located between the Former Saturn dealership and Multi-Tech. The new building <br />will be about 17,000 square feet with enough parking to satisfy all their current and <br />projected future needs. There would be a second developable lot created from this <br />project that would front County Road H2 behind the BioLife building. <br /> <br />Administrator Ericson reported on two new businesses that will be locating in the <br />community—ProGuard Sports in the Mounds View Business Park South and <br />Louisiana Po’ Boy which has taken over the former KFC building next to Taco Bell. <br /> <br />Three other updates were offered concerning a business locating in the building <br />behind Multi-Tech, a magazine distributor company, which will be taking 22,800 <br />square feet of space; the ten-lot Longview Estates subdivision east of Silver Lake <br />Road and south of County Road H2; and the Red Oak Estates Townhome <br />development at the southwest corner of County Road H2 and Long Lake Road. <br />There are 40 townhome lots remaining to be developed in red Oak Estates. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stevenson asked about the Cindy Johnson property near the <br />intersection of Groveland Road and County Road 10, suggesting that there could be <br />some movement associated with the site. Administrator Ericson confirmed that staff <br />had met with the property owner and a developer and that staff is hopeful that this <br />area will once again become a development focus. <br /> <br />Chair Belting indicated that it was his understanding that the school district had <br />moved into their space at Silver Plaza. Administrator Ericson confirmed this to be <br />the case. <br /> <br />Business Development Coordinator Update <br /> <br />Administrator Ericson introduced Brian Beeman, who had been selected to be the <br />City’s new Business Development Coordinator, pending City Council approval and <br />satisfactory background checks. The appointment is scheduled for Council action <br />on September 22, 2014. Administrator Ericson provided the Commission with some <br />information on Mr. Beeman’s previous employment experience and that he expects <br />good things from Mr. Beeman. <br /> <br />Chair Belting expressed his support for Brian Beeman’s hire and looks forward to <br />working with him, suggesting that his background is a good fit for Mounds View. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
