Discussion with Rick Swenson Reqardinq Proposal in Credit River Industrial Park Mr. Rick Swenson was in attendance at the June 8th meeting and was introduced to the Economic Development Committee members by Kay Schmudlach. Mr. Swenson, owner of Metro Air, is interested in constructing a building in the Credit River Industrial Park. Mr. Swenson briefly introduced the project to EDC members and asked for their support in amending the City ordinance so that Fire Suppression requirements are not made for buildings under 12,000 square feet. The ~roblem with Mr. Swenson's'development is that the lot is not a lot of record and it is City policy that prior to issuing a building permit parcels be platted. The second problem is the soils and limited acreage due to the small parcels make the septic system questionable. The City is addressing this problem by requiting a perc test be completed and if necessary the size of the building be scaled back. The third requirement which is a City Code Ordinance requires any building constructed over 2,000 square feet must be sprinkled. State Code is 12,000 square feet and City staff has recommended that the city amend this for the I-2 Industrial zone. The Credit River Industrial Park is the onl~ property zoned I-2. Staff has sent a write-up to City Council and although there are concerns by the Council they generally support making the amendments for the I-2 zone only. Kay Schmudlach addressed the process under which the issue is being addressed. First of all staff has sent the write up to Council and they have given us the general go ahead to' present the amendments to the ordinance. Second staff is requiring Mr. Swenson to complete a perc test. Mr. Swenson has noted that he will complete the test on Wednesday, June 14, 1989. Mr. Swenson is working with our Building Official on this and has agreed to modify the size of his building to allow for the adequate septic system. Second simultaneously staff has amended the amendment for the ordinance on Fire Suppression and a notice has been printed in the Prior Lake American. Mr. Swenson has received a letter from City staff indicating that his issue will be heard at the City Council meeting July 3, 1989. The Planning Commission will also have to address this issue because of a variance required for Mr. Swenson's building. Staff has indicated that the variance should not be a problem. The motion was by EDC member Hill and seconded by Miller to support Mr. Swenson's building proposal for the Credit River Industrial Park and support the amendment to the .City ordinance. III. Discussion with Jerry Hadac and Dick Underferth Regarding Relocation of Prior Lake Agency Rental Store Mr. Jerry Hadac of Hadac Realty addressed the Economic Development Committee representing his clients, Ev Nelson and Bob Underferth. Mr. Hadac described the proposal that his client wants to make to the City in regards to leasing some property in downtown Prior Lake. Bob Underferth is looking for a building to relocate in so that he can expand his business and Ev Nelson who owns a building on Main Avenue is relocating his business to his home which is in a Township. Mr. Underferth would like to move into Ev Nelson's building but he needs the vacant lot next door to store outdoor equipment. City staff have met and agreed that first of all this is a good business for Prior Lake and second of all that this is a permitted use in the downtown area under the retail description. Staff is requesting that the EDC address this issue and come up with a recommendation for staff to pursue either leasing this property or selling this property to this gentleman. The Economic Development Committee recommendation to staff was that staff negotiate the terms of the le~se and consult with legal counsel and present a lease to 2 the City Council in the near future. Staff and EDC agree that leasing is preferable to selling the property at this time. IV. Review June 19th City Council Aqenda Items The staff presented a summary of the proposal Council agenda items for June 19th City Council meeting. Staff would like to start out with an introduction by City Manager Unmacht that will summarize development past, present and future for Prior Lake. The next thing on the agenda would be a presentation of the Star City Slide presentation. Economic Development Committee members agree that either Dave Miller or Linda Blaisdell should do the introduction on that item. The third item on the agenda would be the Commercial/Industrial Inventory and Kay was directed to ask either Dennis Hanson or Jack Haugen if they would be available to attend the City Council meeting and ~resent the inventory to the City Council. The fourth item on the agenda is the golf outing and here again either Jack or Dennis should be the individual to present the golf outing information. The fifth item on the agenda was the Economic Development Authority and Kay summarized that the EDA process would be presented to the City Council and no official action would be requested at this time. Staff will ask that City Council give direction as to if they would like this on the agenda. A public hearing date would have to set so that this could be discussed openly. The fifth thing on the agenda was the Industrial Study and City Manager Unmacht will be presenting the outline for the Industrial Study to the City Council. EDC members discussed whether a summary was necessary and Mr. Hill indicated that he believes that a summary should be made by himself of the previous items.
