RESOLUTION 08-137
A RESOLUTION ACTING UPON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATION REGARDING SCOTT COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT
Motion By: Hedbe
Second By:
Millar
WHEREAS, redevelopment in downtown Prior Lake is supported and called for in various policy and
planning documents of the City, including the 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan;
Comprehensive Plan; The Prior Lake Downtown Development Guide; Development
Potential Study; and Downtown Building Design Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, the City of Prior Lake 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan, under the Downtown
Redevelopment element, calls for a thriving downtown, and for the downtown to be a
unique community focal point and attraction that contributes to the City's identity and
offers opportunities for recreation, employment, housing, shopping and dining; and
WHEREAS, goals included under the Downtown Redevelopment element of the 2030 Vision and
Strategic Plan include encouraging redevelopment, and construction of mixed use
buildings; and
WHEREAS, Blocks 2, 4, 13 and 15 in downtown Prior Lake are well positioned for redevelopment
since there are a significant number of parcels owned by the City, and there is a
prevalence of blighting conditions on these blocks that contribute to the
underperformance of downtown; and
WHEREAS, On April 7, 2008 the City Council authorized the release and distribution of a Request
for Proposals for Redevelopment of Downtown, and
WHEREAS, The City received a proposal from the Scott County Community Development Agency
dated June 30, 2008, and
WHEREAS, The City Council held a workshop on August 18, 2008 to discuss and consider the
proposal and pose questions to the Scott County Community Development Agency
staff, and
WHEREAS, At its October 1, 2008 meeting, the Prior Lake Economic Development Advisory
Committee considered the proposal from the Scott County Community Development
Agency and voted to recommend that the City Council reject the proposal because it
failed to meet critical objectives for the redevelopment of downtown Prior Lake as set
forth in the 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan and Request for Proposals for Downtown
Redevelopment, and

WHEREAS, At its October 1, 2008 meeting, the Economic Development Advisory Committee voted
to recommend that the City Council direct staff to identify specific developers that have
projects that the City believes are similar to its goals; find out if they will be interested in
future opportunities for redevelopment when the market improves, and if there are
specific items in the RFP that are barriers for them submitting a proposal; work to
modify those barriers to accommodate both the City and developer; and authorize re-
issuance of the Request for Proposals for Downtown Redevelopment at a future date.
