Comments from the public:
Gene Ryan, 5051 160th Street, who lives across the street from Burger King, had two
complaints. Garbage trucks come to pick up garbage from Burger King at 5:00 a.m. The

into his bedroom. Commissioner Criego suggested Mr. Ryan document the incidents and
contact the business owners and the City with his concerns. Rye suggested he contact
the City Manager and get on the Council's open forum. The City Council can then give
staff direction.
B. REVIEW FORMATION OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO.
2-8 - presented by Director of Planning, Don Rye.
This district is a part of Development District No. 2, which is the Waterfront Passage
Business Park. TIF District No. 2-8 is approximately 1.65 acres located along the east
side of Fish Point Road, directly north of Keyland Homes. The property is currently
vacant, and is zoned BP (Business Park). Upon inclusion in the Development District, a
private developer will construct a 12,000 square foot manufacturing/warehouse facility.
Minnesota statutes require the Planning Commission to review the formation of TIF
districts for compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission must
make a recommendation to the Council.
Development District No. 2 was formed to promote development of certain property,
secure additional industrial, commercial, and housing development and redevelopment
opportunities, increase property subject to taxation, provide public improvements to
development properties, and designate methods for financing of activities in the
Development District. The purpose of the proposed TIF District 2-8 is to finance the
development activities of this site.
This site is designated as C-BO (Commercial - Business Office Park) on the 2010
Comprehensive Plan. The property is also zoned BP. The proposed use of the property
is consistent with both the land use plan designation and the zoning.
Comments from the Commissioners:
The Commissioners supported staff.
MOTION BY WUELLNER, SECOND BY STAMSON, TO RECOMMEND
APPROVAL OF THE FORMATION OF THE TIF DISTRICT NO. 2-8 TO THE CITY
COUNCIL, FINDING THE PROPOSED USE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
