ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEETING MINUTES – July 25, 2016
1. Call to Order
The meeting was called to order at 7:33 a.m. in the Parkview Community Room at Prior Lake City Hall.

a. June 27, 2016
MOTION BY PRCHAL and SECOND BY VOREIS to approve the June 27, 2016 meeting minutes. Motion
adopted unanimously.
3. Old Business
a. EDAC Commercial Area Liaison Discussion
EDAC Members: discussed recent Commercial Area Liaison visits.
Mahoney: commented on the difficulty of contacting the business owner during visits opposed to
employees. Mr. Mahoney said most businesses had no complaints other than one business commented
about the desire for a mailbox instead of a PO box and another commented on the stoplight signal timing
at the Main Avenue/Hwy 13 intersection.
Voreis: offered to take assist Ms. Carroll with the Village Commerce / South Lake Village area since Ms.
Byers has resigned from the EDAC and Mr. Mahoney had a good handle on the Gateway area. Erbaugh,
Prchal and Voreis will schedule a time to discuss liaison visits.
b. EDAC Social Media Strategies
McCabe: stated he spoke with the City’s Communications Coordinator and there was not support to use
city social media resources to promote individual businesses. Mr. McCabe added there was support to
promote grand opening / ribbon cutting events, new businesses, developments which receive city
assistance, etc.; however, the city is leery of promoting one business’ story over another.
EDAC Members: discussed social media strategies and felt a discussion with the Chamber of Commerce
first, followed by the Prior Lake American, may be most appropriate since both of these organizations
provide business promotion. The discussion will focus on how can the EDAC assist in promo tion of
existing businesses.
4. New Business
a. Prior Lake Business Pages
McCabe: presented draft articles for the summer 2016 issue of the Prior Lake Business Pages e -
newsletter. Proposed articles included:
Economic Gardening in Scott County

o Livability: Scott County, MN Magazine
o Mystic Lake Center

EDAC Business Visit Summary
Staff will finalize the Prior Lake Business Pages with a targeted circulation date in July 2016.
b. Downtown Development Guide Update
Rogness: presented the updated Downtown Development Guide map prepared by the EDA. Mr.
Rogness explained that this map is an update to a 2000 plan approved by the City Council. The thr ee
plans reviewed by the committee included the original 2000 redevelopment plan, a plan showing what
proposed projects had been completed and a plan showing what proposed projects could still be
completed.

minor revisions and adding additional information, the EDA approved the community asset report
submitted by the EDAC.

MEETING DATE: August 25, 2016
AGENDA #: 3.c.
PREPARED BY: Dan Rogness, Community & Economic Development Director
AGENDA ITEM: DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT GUIDE UPDATE
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to review and discuss the updated
maps/graphics of the “Downtown Development Guide” dated June 2000.
History
On March 21, 2016 the EDA Commissioners discussed the need for some type of
visual that shows the future development of downtown Prior Lake. The area en-
compassing “downtown” would likely extend southerly to the Southlake Village area
and northeasterly to the Gateway area.
Current Circumstances
The EDA further approved staff entering into a contract with HKgi to update the
previous development guide to include: (1) changes in the downtown area from
2000 through 2015, and (2) future improvements to downtown beyond 2015.
Conclusion
EDA members have now had an opportunity to review the first draft of two new maps
showing downtown changes and future improvements. The EDA has asked the
EDAC to review and comment on the attached maps.
ALTERNATIVES: Review and Comment.

DEERFIELD BUSINESS PARK / WELCOME AVENUE INDUSTRIAL PARK
ACTION ITEMS
Access – Property owners requested staff evaluate Deerfield Business Park access from
eastbound CH21 into the business park via Adelmann Street. Business owners expressed
concern over the narrow southbound lane on Adelmann Street.
(COMPLETED) The City of Prior Lake Traffic & Safety Committee evaluated this request. The
Traffic & Safety Committee did not support the elimination of the right turn lane on
Adelmann. Instead, the committee favored re-striping Adelmann Street to widen the
southbound lane and decrease the size of both turn lanes. The re-striping project has been
completed to provide the maximum width on the southbound lane while maintaining an
adequate width to ensure safety and property turning movements for both northbound turn
lanes.
Stop Sign – Property owners requested a stop sign be installed on Industrial Lane at the
intersection with Adelmann Street.
(COMPLETED) The City of Prior Lake Traffic & Safety Committee evaluated this request and
recommended a stop sign be installed at this location. The stop sign has been installed.
Signage – Property owners requested off-premises signage along CH21.
(IN-PROCESS) City staff has drafted a proposed amendment to the Sign Ordinance which
would allow property owners to add business identification signage to a new sign-type,
referred to as “Off-Premises Advertising Sign”. Staff has requested the Planning Commission
initiate a review of the sign ordinance to implement these revisions. The Plannin g
Commission will discuss this item during their August 15, 2016 meeting. If approved, staff
will work with the Deerfield and Welcome Avenue business owners to ensure the proposed
ordinance amendments are sufficient to their needs.
Business Association Documents – Property owners discussed the formation of an association
and requested city staff provide a template for the formation of a business association.
(COMPLETED) City staff has provided the property owners with association bylaw templates
for the formation of a business association. The property owners felt that acting as a
Deerfield/Welcome business association would be more effective than acting as individual
property owners related to group signage, commenting on future transportation
improvements (Revere Ave.), future ordinance amendments related to commercial/industrial
property and would provide a good means of communication between all property owners.
Emergency Vehicle Response at Adelmann Building Condo – Property owners requested staff
evaluate public safety emergency response at the Adelmann condo building due to fencing
and tight turning movements at the rear of the property.
(COMPLETED) City staff asked the Fire Chief to evaluate access around the building. The Fire
Chief visited the property and considered the site to provide reasonable access. The Fire
Chief commented that there are few properties that provide 360-degree access. The Prior
Lake Fire Department is also equipped with equipment to access restricted areas in the event
of an emergency (i.e. removal of a fence or entry through wall, roof, door, etc.)
Property Valuations – some property owners, not all, expressed concerns that the Scott
County estimated market valuations of their property were too high.
(PENDING) City staff met with the property owners who expressed this concern and provided
information related to the property reevaluation process. The property owners indicated
they have attempted to get their properties reevaluated in the past and were not plea sed
with the process. City staff will contact Scott County to evaluate other options. The property
owners felt this should be addressed by individual businesses if they would like their property
reevaluated, not as an entire business park.
Adelmann Condo Building Turning Movements – Owners of the Adelmann Condo Building
expressed concerns about driveway access, turning movements at the rear of the property
near the outdoor storage area and the city trail used to access the stormwater pond.
(COMPLETED) City staff discussed a potential shared driveway (2nd access) with the
developers of the adjacent property to the west. Because of the building alignment, security
fencing and grade issues between the two properties, the property owner to the west was
not in favor of a joint access. City staff had previously discussed the property owner request
to relocate the trail from the east side of the building to the west side. The City would be
open to this option but would require an unrestricted paved access be provided for city
maintenance vehicles. This option would result in additional costs for the condo building
property owners and did not seem to be a valid option at this time. In addition, the property
owner to the west did not support a trail location on their property.
Parking on Revere Avenue – Property owners expressed safety concerns with vehicles parking
on the east shoulder of Revere Avenue to access Cleary Lake Regional Park.
(UNKNOWN) Property owners indicated they will be submitting a written request to Scott
County for ‘no parking’ signs to be installed along the east shoulder of Revere Avenue near
the CH21/Revere Ave. intersection.
Stockpile Storage – One property owner commented about City Public Works employees
stockpiling debris from street sweepers on the wooded city property at the rear of the Public
Works building, adjacent to the business park. The property owner felt this material had to
comply with special requirements related to proper disposal.
(IN-PROCESS) City staff contacted the Public Works Director to discuss this item. Staff was
informed the city does not stockpile street sweeping debris in the wooded area to the rear of
the public works building property. Street sweeping debris is stockpiled within barricades
behind the Public Works garage and the debris is removed regularly throughout the year and
disposed of properly. More information is needed from the property owner as to the specific
location of the debris in question.
