CARPENTERS RESTAURANT SITE PLAN UPDATE
Staff presented to the EDA the concept plan for Carpenters on the Lake. Mike Anderson
from Carpenters Restaurant was present at the meeting. The plan shows a two story 16,000
square foot building with a banquet room and attached retail spaces. Mike Anderson would
like to start the site plan and TIF application approval process. Staff recommended that the
EDA provide informal feedback on the plan.
Mike Anderson stated that he would be applying for variances from the Shoreland setback
requirement and parking requirements. He talked about either leasing or purchasing City
property to the north for construction of a parking lot. He stated that the site plan does not
show any stormwater management at this time, but will be incorporated at a later date.
Miron asked about the DNR's feelings on the Shoreland setback requirement. CD Director
stated that staff has not contacted the DNR to date, but will be talking with them about the
downtown area. Miron asked about the stormwater management on the site. CD Director
stated that the city will need to look at this area as a whole for stormwater management.
Klein talked about Mr. Anderson's wish to either purchase or lease the City owned property.
Miron stated that he would like to review each option. CD Director stated that staff will look
at the options, but either way a cross access and parking agreement would be required.
Mike Lueth from Lampert Architects gave an overview of the building architecture. Miron
stated that the building looked good and that having two-stories gives the building character.
Bever agreed and stated that the site looks like it needs more green space and the deck looks
too small. Arcand asked about what kind of retail uses would be incorporated in the building.
Mr. Anderson stated that most likely office uses or small retail users. Arcand stated that the
architecture was not interesting and was not what she was thinking the architecture was going
to look like. Denaway stated that he was concerned about the access to the retail spaces.
The EDA agreed that views to the lake should be maintained and more green space
integrated to the downtown area.
DISCUSSION HUGO COMMONS TIF APPLICATION REVIEW
Paul Steinman from Springsted provided the EDA with the outcome of the TIF application
analysis for the former End Zone property. Bill Lentsch who has the purchase agreement on
the property was present at the meeting. Staff recommended that the EDA direct staff on
whether or not to draft a TIF Agreement with the applicant and bring it back to the EDA at
their August meeting.
Paul Steiman stated that the project would not be feasible with out the use of TIF. He
explained the analysis of the TIF application. The project includes the acquisition,
demolition, site preparation and construction of a 23,000 square foot commercial/retail
building. The Developer estimates the total development cost of the project to be $4,353,490.
The Developer has requested TIF assistance in the amount of$543,100 (present value) in the
form of a pay-as-you-go reimbursement, which is an annual payment of tax increment from
the City to the Developer. The property will pay an annual base property tax, to all taxing
jurisdictions, of$9,906 through the term of the district. We estimate the annual tax increment
reimbursement to commence in year 2 (2010), with a payment of$32,251, and the first full
year of reimbursement in year 3 (2011) of$50,461 based on a total Estimated Market Value
of$4,159,450. Paul stated that the project does not yet have financing and will not move
forward until 60% is leased.
The EDA generally agreed with the analysis of the TIF Application.
Denaway made a motion, seconded by Klein, for staff to prepare a TIF Agreement and bring
back to the EDA for review at their August meeting.
All aye. Motion Carried.
UPDATE ON DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT
Staff updated the EDA on the progress of the downtown redevelopment projects. CD
Director talked about Ricci's Restaurant and the status of the building. He stated that the City
will need to work with the owners of the property because of intersection improvement in the
area. Chuck Lowell's pole barn has been removed from his property located on Finale.
UPDATE ON BR&E SUBCOMMITTEE
The Associate Planner updated the EDA on the progress of the BR&E Subcommittee. The
Business Profile Questionnaire is planned to be sent out in the next week. This will give the
committee an idea of the businesses that would like a case study completed on their business
or what other areas are needed for help. The committee will also be doing site visits to
businesses in the near future.
DISCUSSION ON MARKETING AND PROMOTION OF THE CITY
The City has repeatedly received praise for its efforts in managing the recovery process
following the disaster. The city staff believes the extraordinary media coverage the City has
received during the past few weeks has cast a positive spotlight on the attitude and
professionalism found within the City of Hugo. Staff discussed with the EDA ways to
promote the City during this unique time as a good place to locate a business.
f
Miron made a motion, seconded by Denaway, to send out a promotional package to
developers to get their interest in the downtown area.
All Aye. Motion Carried.

August 8, 2008
To: City of Hugo Businesses
The City of Hugo Economic Development Authority (EDA) has formed a new subcommittee
entitled Business Retention and Expansion Subcommittee (BR&E). The BR&E Subcommittee is
made up of EDA Commissioners, residents, and volunteers. Hugo businesses are at the heart of
this committee. Their mission is to retain current businesses, help solve problems, and aid in
expansion, through communication and education.
To enable the committee to better channel their efforts to your needs they have created a
business profile questionnaire. This questionnaire can be found on the EDA portion of the
City website, and is also included with this letter. The questions are designed to gather
information and focus efforts in the areas of most need. Please return the completed
questionnaires to the City of Hugo. The business profile questionnaire will be confidential
and will not be used for solicitation. The BR&E subcommittee is dedicated to assisting
businesses and willing to answer any questions.
With the information provided in the business profile questionnaire the BR&E
subcommittee will be working with local colleges and businesses to put together FREE
workshops. The workshops will focus on the areas that businesses need help on, for
example working with Microsoft applications, like Excel spreadsheets. Also they are
teaming up with colleges to do business case studies. A business case study evaluates the
strengths,weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that a business may have. They provide a
recommendation for the growth and success of a business. The colleges will be doing the
case studies free of charge.
Also, the City of Hugo has created a new page on our City website, which lists properties for sale
and lease in Hugo. This page can be accessed by placing your cursor on business info (located
near the top of the page), then economic development, commercial/industrial opportunities, and
then click properties for sale and lease. On this page you will find information on the property's
location, as well as a picture, description, and contact information. All commercial and
industrial property owners in the City are welcome to post listings on the City website.
If you have any questions, comments, or have property for sale or lease and want to showcase it
on the City website, please contact me at rsimone@ci.hugo.mn.us or(651) 762-6304, thanks.

EDA Marketing Strategy
Work Plan
City Website
Activity: Commercial/ Industrial vacant land search
Staff continues to hear from commercial property owners about their land being
for sale and has contact information for other commercial/industrial properties in
the City that have vacant space in their building. The idea for this activity to
showcase the available properties on the City website and on the MNPRO
website. Staff has created a spreadsheet of these commercial / industrial properties
and will be putting them on the website and will update the available properties as
they become available. This will include picture of the properties available, of
what is coming to the community, and the current development. When complete,
this will be a valuable resource to help attract new businesses that are looking for
space in the area.
Timeline: Fall 2007 and on going
Activity: The EDA's own section of the City website for promotion of the EDA
The development of the new City website is under way and as a part of the
creation of the website staff will provide a section dedicated to the EDA. This
section should include a mission statement, the goals for the EDA, events, and the
commercial/ industrial vacant land search. This is a way to keep the residents and
developers up to date on what the EDA is working on. The staff and EDA will
continue to work with the HBA on the promotion of businesses as a part of the
EDA's marketing strategy and can have a link to the HBA's website on the
EDA's section of the City's website as a starting point.
Timeline: Fall 2007 and on going
Activity: Funding for the City website
The EDA has suggested working with the surrounding schools with classes that
teach website development to help with the EDA's portion of the City website. As
of now the EDA and staff do not have a funding source for the website. The EDA
and staff should continue researching to find out if there is a way to get funding
for the City website.

from the HBA and Lions Club to decide on final design with the CSAH 8
Landscape Committee; 3) the City place banners on every other light pole on
CSAH 8 between Oneka Pkwy. & TH61 reducing the number of banners needed
to 55, and hanging baskets to be placed on every light pole in 2008; the City

Lions & HBA to discuss special event/promotional banners; and 4) if approved by
Council, and following review by the CSAH 8 Landscape Committee, staff will
order street banners for installation within 4-6 weeks. It was approved by the
Council and Chris Petree, the Public Works Director is working on completing
these tasks and will update the EDA at that time.

Activi : Work with property owners and possible developers of downtown Hugo
Staff has been in contact with many of the property owners of the downtown area.
Staff will continue to inform the property owners in the downtown area of the TIF
District and encourage redevelopment of vacant properties. It has been published
in the paper that the TIF District has been approved and once the district is
certified a letter will go out to all property owners to inform them of the
certification. The EDA should discuss a time frame for certification of the TIF
District
Timeline: On going and letters to property owners will go out when
certification is approved.
Activity: Discussion on what is needed and desired for the downtown area
The EDA has discussed what they would like to see in the downtown area in the
past. Over time with the establishment of the TIF District the ideas of what the
downtown should have has slightly changed. The EDA will need discuss what the
current needs and desires are for the downtown as of now. This will give staff a
better idea of what way to steer a developer as they become interested in the
redevelopment of downtown Hugo. Staff can contact developers to get concepts
for the area of downtown that the City owns as get we get an idea of what the
needs and desires are.
Timeline: September 2007
Activity: Market City owned properties
Along with the EDA's portion of the City website and the showcase of
commercial/ industrial properties, staff will provide a listing of the City owned
properties that will become available as downtown redevelopment gets started.
