Regular Meeting Page 2
A. Resolution 18-EDA-314, Approving the Preliminary EDA Property Tax Levy 1
Request and Budget for Fiscal Year 2019. 2
3
Finance Director Beer requested the EDA consider approving the preliminary EDA property tax 4
levy request and budget for fiscal year 2019. He reviewed the budget and levy in further detail 5
and explained per State Statute the EDA had to request the City Council to levy for this amount. 6
He reviewed the approval timeline and reported the City Council had to approve the levy amount 7
by September 30th. Staff recommended approval of the $100,000 EDA property tax levy. 8
9
Commissioner Bergeron requested further information on the current EDA fund balance. 10
Finance Director Beer stated in 2017 the fund balance was $345,000, which was made up of 11
notes receivable and actual funds. 12
13
President Mueller asked if the Commission were not to move forward with the levy request for 14
2019, could this be addressed at a future City Council meeting. Finance Director Beer reported 15
this was the case and noted the levy amount could be lowered but could not be increased over 16
$100,000. 17
18
MOTION/SECOND: Hull/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 18-EDA-314, 19
Approving the Preliminary EDA Property Tax Levy Request and Budget for Fiscal Year 2019. 20
21
Commissioner Meehlhause reviewed the levy balance for 2018 and discussed the loans that have 22
been requested to assist several families living in mobile homes. 23
24
Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 25
26
B. Consider Options for Crossroad Pointe Redevelopment Project. 27
28
Business Development Coordinator Beeman discussed the options available to the EDA for the 29
Crossroad Pointe redevelopment project. He explained the EDA has entered into a 30
predevelopment agreement with INH Properties. He commented on the two options that INH has 31
proposed, one being all apartments and the other would be for a mixed use development that 32
would require alcohol and tobacco licenses. A neighborhood meeting was held in June for the 33
Council to gather input from the residents. He reported the Council held a closed meeting on 34
August 20th to discuss the price for the land with two different appraisal companies. In order for 35
staff to move forward with negotiations with the developer, the EDA would have to make a 36
decision on which option to pursue. He requested the EDA provide staff with direction on how to 37
proceed. 38
39
Commissioner Meehlhause asked if the purpose of the closed session was to develop the range 40
on the sale of the property. He explained he was surprised the EDA would be discussing the 41
range publicly. Business Development Coordinator Beeman reported the price range was not 42
Mounds View EDA August 27, 2018
Regular Meeting Page 3
disclosed at this point. He indicated the EDA had decided on a land price and this had not yet 1
been discussed with the developer. 2
3
Commissioner Bergeron questioned if one of the options would require a code change. Business 4
Development Coordinator Beeman stated this was the case. He noted if the mixed use option 5
were pursued a code change would be required to allow for the sale of tobacco and alcohol. 6
7
President Mueller requested the EDA select an option to move forward with for the Crossroad 8
Pointe development and direct staff accordingly. 9
10
MOTION/SECOND: Hull/Bergeron. To Consider Approval of Option 1, all apartments and 11
direct staff to negotiate with the developer to come to a consensus on the land price. 12
13
Commissioner Hull stated he did not believe apartment dwellers would want to live next to a 14
Kwik Trip. In addition, he feared the BP would not survive if a Kwik Trip were to move into the 15
City. He was of the opinion Option 1 would provide the City with the best property taxes. 16
17
Commissioner Bergeron indicated three weeks ago the City heard some very compelling 18
information about raising the legal tobacco age to 21. He explained if Option 2 were pursued, 19
the sale of tobacco would occur even closer to a Mounds View school. He stated there was not a 20
chance he could support that. He believed this would be a vast mistake with the tobacco age 21
remaining at 18. 22
23
Commissioner Gunn commented the residents that attended the worksession meeting were not in 24
support of Option 2 and Kwik Trip. However, she noted she received a great deal of positive 25
feedback regarding Kwik Trip when speaking to residents during National Night Out. She 26
commented Kwik Trip was the type of business that would assist in creating a walkable and bike-27
able community. 28
29
Commissioner Meehlhause stated he received much of the same feedback during National Night 30
Out. He commented if the EDA was still talking with the Beard Group he would fully support an 31
all apartment option for this site. However, he does not see INH providing the same quality of 32
apartments. For this reason, he was inclined to support Option 2, which included a smaller 33
apartment complex with a Kwik Trip. 34
35
President Mueller explained the Lucky Service Station at the corner of County Road H and 36
Mounds View Boulevard has been very vocal about how a Kwik Trip would put this station out 37
of business. She discussed how drivers typically visit gas stations on the same side of the 38
highway for convenience purposes. She stated the Lucky Service Station has a smaller foot print 39
when compared to other service stations in the community. She described the investments other 40
service stations were making in their property to remain viable. She commented that either way 41
this vote goes, she did not believe the City was picking winners or losers, but rather business 42
Mounds View EDA August 27, 2018
Regular Meeting Page 4
owners had to continue to make investments in order to compete. She stated she was extremely 1
disappointed Ramsey County was restricting access onto the Crossroad Pointe property. She 2
anticipated the property would have been valued 10-20% higher if the County had allowed access 3
onto Mounds View Boulevard. She was of the opinion that adding a 24-hour convenience store 4
would not benefit this neighborhood given the level of traffic in this area. For this reason, she 5
supported Option 1 which included 135 market rate apartments. 6
7
Ayes – 3 Nays – 2 (Gunn and Meehlhause) Motion carried. 8
9
MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Meehlhause. To direct staff to cooperate with the City Attorney and 10
developer to complete a Development Agreement and any other necessary documents needed to 11
complete the option chosen for development contingent upon a successful land sale agreement. 12

From: Brian Beeman, Business Development Coordinator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 18-EDA-315 A Resolution Approving an Amendment to
that Preliminary Development Agreement Entered into by and
between the Mounds View Economic Development Authority and INH
Property Management, Inc.
Background:
INH Property Management, Inc. entered into a preliminary development agreement with the EDA
dated January 8th, 2018. Due to the extended negotiation process and the EDA’s delayed decision
on a final product to be developed at the Crossroad Pointe site, INH Property Management, Inc. has
requested an extension to the current Preliminary Development Agreement to May 1, 2019. The City
Attorney will need a reasonable time to draft the necessary documents in order to finalize the
purchase agreement and development agreement.
Discussion:
In order for the development to proceed an extension to the initial Predevelopment Agreement is
necessary.
Recommendation:
Consider approval of Resolution 18-EDA-315 by motion.
Respectfully submitted,
