Discuss Prioritization of Hi•hwav 10 Redevelo.ment Pro.erties Coordinator Bennett explained that the EDA will be discussing the redevelopment of properties on Highway 10 at the upcoming work session in March and handed out a list of properties for the EDC's consideration. Coordinator Bennett noted that the EDC is being asked to evaluate current redevelopment opportunities and prioritize which properties would be most economically beneficial to apply existing staff time and funds to redevelop. After thorough discussion, the properties were put in two tiers. Tier one includes properties that have the most likelihood of materializing into projects and could economically benefit the City in the near future. Tier two are properties which pose constraints to redevelopment including legal and • 1 environmental constrains and current ownership resistance. The list of properties was revised to include projects in the tiered format. The properties South of the Bel-Rae Ballroom were discussed. Coordinator • Bennett explained that it has been proposed that the City purchase these properties to satisfy storm water runoff from the North West side of the City. The properties are currently almost exclusively wetland and therefore are virtually unbuildable in the current conditions. It have been proposed to use excess Tax Increment Funds for the purchase of this property. Members of the EDC do not support the use of TIF funds for this property since there will be no increase in jobs or the tax base for a water retention pond. The purchase of the Bel-Rae Ballroom for a community center was also discussed. The EDC felt that a thorough needs assessment should be completed to determine if services requested from the Focus 2000 process have been met through other area Centers and also an assessment of the long term costs of operating a community center should be identified prior to purchasing the building. Members of the EDC would prefer to use TIF funds for renovation of the building for a private party verses removing the property from the tax rolls. Motion/Second: Carlson/Goff moved approval of Prioritization of Highway 10 Properties into Tier 1 and Tier 2. Motion Carried 4 ayes 0 nays B.

Vice Chair Carlson suggested that the transportation planner be invited to speak to the EDC regarding transportation strategies in Mounds View. D. Star City Process: SWOT Analysis Coordinator Bennett outlined the benefits of SWOT exercise for the Star City Process. A SWOT exercise is identifying the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats to economic development in the area. A list of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats was prepared by the EDC members. • 2 Reports From Chair, Commissioners and Staff: • Vice Chair Carlson mentioned the reorganization of the New Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce and the Mounds View Business Association.

I have asked him to discuss the following: lio How are bus routes established? How does the transit system work? What are the routes in Mounds View? What is the $ value of the service Mounds View is receiving? What is Mounds View currently paying towards MTC from property taxes? • 11 C.) • Staff Memo To: Economic Development Commission Members From: Cathy Bennett, Economic Development Coordinator Date: February 16, 1996 Agenda Item: Discussion of development opportunities for (5.A) 2625 Highway Mr. Rick Kuehlwein who represents Northern Heat, the largest volleyball club in the state, will be in attendance to discuss his interest to build a 20,000 - 30,000 sq.ft. Facility for 4 volleyball courts plus office, meeting and banquet space. • The facility would need to encompass 2625 Highway 10 plus the adjacent land lots to the west. The project is estimated to cost between $1 - $1.2 million and would be funded through the club and financed by Mr. Kuehlwein and a developer. Mr. Kuehlwein is working on a similar project with the City of Duluth whereby Duluth will provide assistance for the project to enable usage of the facility. Questions for the EDC - Would the EDC recommend this type of use for the property? (It would require a rezoning from residential to commercial) What type of assistance should the City provide? Should the City pursue a joint powers agreement for use of the facility? Should the City pursue access to these sites or should the developer? Would this type of arrangement be better served as part of the Bel-Rae facility? We will discuss all these questions upon conclusion of Mr. Kuehlwein's presentation. In addition to the volleyball association, I met with a Realtor who is looking for space for a beauty salon and was interested in 2625 Highway 10 site. We gave her information regarding zoning, development review and parking requirements. At this time I have not heard if she will he coming to the FDC' meeting for further discussion. • i i i i I i i i i I i J I Staff Memo To: Economic Development Commission Members From: Cathy Bennett, Economic Development Coordinator Date: March 22, 1996 Agenda Item: Consideration of Tax Increment Policies for (5.C.) new/expanded development in Mounds View This item was tabled at the meeting in February and requested to be put on the March agenda since there was a lot of information to be reviewed. It is good public policy to have guidelines in place so that developers are aware, up front, what the desires of the community are in relation to providing assistance. Also, this allows everyone to be on the same playing field. Please be prepared to discuss items to be included in a tax increment policy for • Mounds View. Please call me if you do not have a copy of the information I provided at the last meeting.
