Mounds View EDA July 14, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Gunn. To Accept the Soil Test Borings Report for the County Road <br />H2 Property as Presented. <br /> <br />Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />B. County Road H2 Residential Project Pre-Development Agreement between <br />Pro Craft Homes and the City of Mounds View <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman indicated that on June 9, 2003 the EDA selected <br />Pro Craft Homes to be the developer for this project and since then the developer has been <br />communicating with homeowners on the block. He then said that, given the potential <br />investments, Staff felt that a predevelopment agreement would be appropriate. The purpose of <br />which is to delineate the responsibilities and obligations and serve as a starting point for <br />negotiations. He then reviewed the areas covered by the agreement and indicated that Staff was <br />seeking direction from Council as to whether the developer should be allowed to install the <br />infrastructure improvements or whether the City should do so. <br /> <br />President Linke asked Public Works Director Lee for his opinion on the matter. <br /> <br />The Developer indicated they would prefer to put in the infrastructure from the standpoint of <br />coordinating timing of the development and said it makes economic sense for all parties to have <br />one contractor to coordinate. <br /> <br />Commissioner Marty arrived at 6:43 p.m. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated it would be his recommendation that any infrastructure that <br />is publicly owned be installed by the City. <br /> <br />President Linke asked whether the City could work with the projected timeframe of this <br />development. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that the timing would work out perfectly with the street <br />project that is scheduled for that area. He then said that Staff anticipates that the developer <br />would have the site graded and ready by June 1, 2004 and then the City’s contractor would install <br />the infrastructure. <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman indicated that, in terms of environmental cost, <br />Staff does not anticipate any remediation nor does Staff expect any need for eminent domain or <br />relocation of tenants to be occurring. He then said that the City would need to determine who <br />would install the infrastructure. <br />
