The 4.25 acre redevelopment site has been cleared of all buildings and improvements. At its meeting on October 28, 2013, the EDA selected Stantec Engineering to prepare a planning and market analysis study for the redevelopment area, coordinate a visioning exercise, seek public input and provide feasible redevelopment scenarios for the site. Discussion: Stuart Krahn of Stantec led the Council through a visioning exercise by conducting a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) specific to the redevelopment site and the City in general at the January 6, 2014, Work Session. Stantec took the information gleaned from this meeting to prepare three site plan scenarios which were made available for public comment at an open house on January 27, 2014. The public turnout for the open house was good and while much feedback was provided, there was a wide variety of opinions, recommendations and suggestions. There did seem to be greater preference expressed for the multi-use design scenario. Building on the feedback received from the open house, Stantec prepared a more refined multi-use site plan, with versions including and excluding vehicular access from Greenfield Avenue. Recommendation: Stuart Krahn will be attending the EDA’s meeting to present the refined Mixed Use Development Site Plan. He anticipates spending some time to review the plan, answer questions, discuss alternatives, and seek plan support. Also to be discussed will be next steps (grant applications, additional site investigation, developer RFP, etc.) Respectfully submitted, ________________________ James Ericson City Administrator Item No: 08A Meeting Date: February 24, 2014 Type of Business: EDA Reports City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Economic Development Authority From: James Ericson, Executive Director Item Title/Subject: Confirmation of the 2014 EDC Chairperson Background The Mounds View City Code indicates that at the first regular meeting of the year, the Economic Development Commission (EDC) shall appoint a chairperson from among its voting members.
