GUNDLACH: Asked for clarification as to why Planning Commissioner Atwood did not feel the plan met the PUD criteria. KANSlER: Explained that there was some discussion regarding the defined private street, but that the developer clarified that some other items could be moved around but that would result in additional driveways.

KANSIER: Explained the access along CSAH 21 and noted that street name was an identifier rather than a final street name.

Consider Approval of a Resolution Setting a Date for a Public Hearing to Establish Tax Abatement District 1 and Awarding Business Subsidy. RYE: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report, advising that the action before the Council was in response to a request by Larry Gleason and Chadie Anderson in order to move Mr. Gleason's gymnastics school to the Apex Graphics building located in the Waterfront Passage Business Park. The issue is whether the Council wishes to further defer the receipt of the City taxes from this property. ZIESKA: Asked if this proposal means that the City will incur administrative costs, and that from the moment this building was construction to the time the City will see any tax benefit is 21 years. RYE: Confirmed. GUNDLACH: Asked if the TIF district was affected by the changes made by the State. RYE: Believe that was possible. GUNDLACH: Asked if when the TIF district was established, what were the obligations and expectation of the City and the landowner. 6 City Council Meeting Minutes June 17, 2002 RYE; Advised that this was an economic development distdct with a term of 11 years. LEMAIR: Asked what type of commitment we have from the business owner if this change is made, or was the business owner looking to move. RYE: Advised that the business could potentially move since their primary issue is space. LEMA~R: Asked if there are other issues with allowing this type of use in a primarily manufacturing district. RYE: Advised that there were other issues with parking and noise at the time the business moved into the existing site. LEMAIR: Commented that this is a difficult issue because the City would like to keep the business in the City, but there is the impact on the community as a whole and the businesses in that area. GUNDLACH: Suggested that the business construct a building in a TIF district downtown. Did not support the motion. Z~ESKA: Believe the financial impact is too great and did not see appreciable benefit, even though it no way reflects upon the gymnastics business. Did not support the motion. HAUGEN: Concerned about both the financial aspect, as well as having a gymnastic facility located outside the City. Reviewed the alternatives. Suggested deferring action on this item while directing staff to work on alternatives with the parties. GUNDLACH: Suggested that deferring action is not necessary, noting that Mr. Anderson still has the option of giving up the TIF district and renting space to Mr. Gleason. BOYLES: Added that it appeared that Mr. Gleason wishes to be in someone else's building, rather than build his own. Immediate altematives did not come to mind. RYE: Noted that the financial package for the building was with the TIF assistance, so foregoing the TIF distdct did not appear possible for them. Z~ESKA: Reiterated that the issue tonight is the tax relief to be received, not that the City wouldn't love to have Mr. Gleason's business in the City. HAUGEN: Asked the revenue lost. RYE: Advised it is revenue neutral. The issue is whether it comes in four years or 15 years. Z~ESKA: Advised that if the assistance comes in four years, the School District and County participate, if the term is lengthened the relief becomes the City's alone. MOTION BY GUNDLACH, SECOND BY PETERSEN TO NOT SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING DATE ON THIS ISSUE. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Gundlach, Petersen, Zieska and LeUair, the motion carried. The Council took a brief recess. Consider Approval of Report Relating to Tax Increment District 1-1, 1.2 and 2-4/ 7 City Council Meeting Minutes June 17, 2002 RYE: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report, noting that upon review it was determined that TIF District 2-4 was improper due to a modification in 1996. Therefore, the distdct should be de-certified. Further advised that the budgets for districts 1-1 and 1-2 should be amended. LEMA~R: Asked if we are basically redirecting monies between the districts. RYE: Explained that essentially we are correcting the budgets to make sure they are in line with the projected expenditures. District 2-4 needs to be de-certified because it does not meet the statutory requirements and retum the funds. The $288,000 can then be used for Downtown Redevelopment projects. BOYLES: Also added that the City would receive $55,500 in retum funds by de-certifying distdct 2-4 and returning the funds to the County. MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY LEMAIR TO DIRECT STAFF TO INITIATE THE BUDGET AMENDMENTS FOR TIF DISTRICTS 1-1 AND 1-2, AND COMMENCE DE-CERTIFICATION OF TIF DISTRICT 2-4. PACE: Asked if the Council would like to have a work session in the items regarding TIF that you may not be thoroughly versed on.

The project involves the extended bituminous and replacement of curb and gutter. LEMair: Asked about the timeline. POPPLER: Advised that this project can begin immediately. The second phase of the project is dependent upon acquisition of right-of-way. GUNDLACH: Suggested coming back as quickly as possible with the remainder of the streetscape project. Z~ESKA: Commented that this is a great problem to have in that the businesses are doing so well that additional parking is necessary. MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY GUNDLACH APPROVING RESOLUTION 02-98 ACCEPTING QUOTES AND AWARDING THE CONTRACT FOR PLEASANT AVENUE STREET PARKING PROJECT TO PRIOR LAKE BLACKTOP IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $27, 986.45.

Consider Approval of a Resolution Establishing a Matching Grant Program to Encourage Downtown Building Facade Improvements. RYE: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report. LEMAIR: Asked if when the money is gone, that's the end. First come, first serve. RYE: The program is essentially first come, first serve. The program could be extended at a later date at Council direction if funds are available. GUNDLACH: Asked how nonconforming structures will be considered. RYE: Advised that the Downtown ordinance was amended as such that there are no nonconforming uses. HAUGEN: Believed the long-range planning committee directed that relocating those businesses that were not conducive to the Downtown area. Concerned that the City would provide matching grant funds to such businesses. BOYLES: Clarified that there are some parameters within the ordinance with respect to Downtown uses, and that the guidelines should be modified so that they are clear that the City has the final authority for allocation of the funds.. ZIESKA: Asked if it would be appropriate to approve the plan with specific parameters. RYE: Suggested that the Council may wish to review proposals. HAUGEN: Believed that if the parameters are identified correctly, the staff should make the determination. PACE: Concerned about the delegation of City Council authority when giving away public funds. RYE: Clarified that staff approval was with respect to compliance with the ordinance, understanding that final allocation of public funds comes from the City Council. PACE: Believed the process would be similar to the process for a conditional use permit. MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY GUNDLACH TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 02-99 ESTABLISHING A MATCHING GRANT PROGRAM TO ENCOURAGE DOWNTOWN BUILDING FACADE IMPROVEMENTS AND FUNDING THEREFORE. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Gundlach, Petersen, Zieska, and LeUair, the motion carried.
