BONITA CARLSON, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER AUGUST 1, 1994 The City of Prior Lake has established a goal to promote business development within the City. As a result, the City developed Waterfront Passage Business/Office Park and is currently marketing the sale of lots to businesses. On May 18,1992, the City Council established Development District No. 2, encompassing the Waterfront Passage Business/Office Park and the industrial area on the north side of County Road 21 in order to establish Tax Increment Financing Districts within the District. The City is considering the use of Tax Increment Financing for two districts located on three separate parcels. The first project, designated as Tax Increment Financing District 2-3 is a redevelopment project on two sites; the property located adjacent to Pleasant, Walker and Main Avenue, and the "triangle car wash" property at 170th and Highway 13 South. The proposed uses of the tax increment funds are 1) The redevelopment of the blighted properties at Pleasant and Main, namely, A-One Radiator, the adjacent house and possibly Extra Innings 2) Relocation expense for Metro Cabinet 3) Future public improvements to the intersection of 170th and Highway 13. In order to create this district the property must first be included in a development district. This project is consistent with the City's goal to encourage redevelopment of blighted retail and commercial areas, and requires some public assistance in order to make the project economically feasible. City staff recommends that Development District No. 2 be modified to include these parcels. 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER 'T ALTERNATIVES: RECOMMENDATION: ACTION REQUIRED: Reviewed By: The second district, Tax Increment Financing District 2-4, is to be located on approximately one acre in the Waterfront Passage Office/Business park. The project developers, two local businessmen, Tim Sinnen of Metro Cabinet and Guy Selinske, of American Glass and Mirror, Inc propose to build a 10,000 square foot building on the site. This project is also consistent with the City's goal to promote business growth. Further, without the use of tax increment financing, it likely that construction of the building in the business office park would not occur. Council has the following alternatives: Approve resolution 94-40, modifying Development District No 2; resolution 94-41 establishing Tax Increment Financing District No 2-3; and resolution 94-42 establishing Tax Increment Financing District 2-4. 2.
