Mr. Hanson and Mrs. Blaisdell interviewed very well and were the choices of all the Interview Committee members. Economic Development Committee members felt that the Interview Committee should keep in mind th employment of the appointees, but that the individual and the strengths he/she brought to the C~mdttee should be uppermost in consideration. XI. Kay Schmudlach informed the Committee that Mark Stromwall had turned in a letter resignation and that Mrs. Prindle had been asked to indicate her interest.

Les Sonnabend, Assistant Superintendent, attended the meeting and gave a presentation on what open enrollment is and who will be impacted.

PRESENTATION BY KATHLEEN NYE AND NEIL BODERMAN RE: HAUSER EXPANSION Kathleen Nye, Commercial Real Estate Broker with Towle Real Estate Company and Neil Boderman, owner of the Priordale Mall attended the Economic Development Committee meeting. Nye's request to talk to the Economic Development Committee had come earlier in the week, and therefore was not identified on the agenda. Ms. Nye introduced her presentation with a map of a potential development on the Priordale Mall site of an expanded Hauser's Grocery Store. Ms Nye elaborated on the project{ identifying the potential areas of development ~n the surrounding areas. Mr. Boderman discussed the ramifications of Mr. Hauser's expansion occurring at this site versus the other potential site, the Hennen property. Ms. Nye asked for general reactions from the Economic Development Committee. The members of the Economic Development Committee voiced support for the expansion to the Hauser Grocery at the Pr~ordale Mall site. The Economic Development Committee questioned Ms. Nye on the process of this development and she reported that she had met with Mr. Hauser to discuss the two sites and presented a matrix of advantages with the Priordale Mall site. Mr. Hauser seemed impressed by the matrix, but had several concerns with the site. One of the concerns was parking, another was visibility. The Economic Development Committee had a general concensus that this development ~roposal was preferable to the grocery store expansion on the Hennen Property. The Economic Development Committee felt that more exploration of uses for the Hennen property was in order. The main reason for supporting the current site development was because the City has made a commitment to the e~isting businesses and our primary responsibility is to supporting them. Ms. Nye asked Economic Development Committee members to support the Priordale Mall site by sending letters of support to Mr. Hauser. Ms. Nye reported she would be approaching Mr. Hauser in the near future to further discuss her site selection. III.

Industrial Park Discussion The Prior Lake City Staff, including City Engineer Larry Anderson, City Planner Horst Graser, and City Manager David Unmacht were on hand to discuss the Credit River Road Industrial Park. Horst Graser introduced the Industrial Park Study that is in progress. The nature of the problems that have restricted development in the area is the (1) lack of land, (2) lack of infrastructive, (3) absence of visible amenities, (4) soil problems, (5) limited transportation avenues. Mr. Graser addressed the purchasing of additional land. The process necessary would be annexation from Credit River Township. The land that would be annexed would be limited to approximately 180 acres, and the soil has some problems. The infrastructive including water and sewer would cost a total of $900,000.00 for the current site. The addition of land into the industrial park would create some capacity problems. Engineer Anderson explained that an additional study would be necessary and that when the whole parcel develops we will have to use trunk funds to pay for upgrading. Transportation will be improved when County Road 21 is extended to Highway 35 which should be in the mid 1990's. Kay was asked to contact the Credit River Township officials to inquire into annexation. III. Subcommittee Reports The Subcommittee chairs were asked to report on the Subcommittee activities. Jack Haugen, chairman of the Commercial/Retail Subcommittee, reported that his subcommittee has discussed several development alternates for the City's four retail areas. A Bed and Breakfast in the downtown was a suggestion. The Subcommittee also thought a hotel on the Hennen property would be a nice addition to the community.

The site selection handbook is also an excellent idea as long as you commit to keeping it up-to-date. Economic brokers may call or send letters.

The Economic Development Committee requested information on the use of Tax Increment Financing. Mr. Johnson responded that he had no details on the amount or purpose of the Tax Increment Financing, because construction costs were not completed, however, Mr. Johnson stated that Tax Increment Financing was vital to the success of this project and that without it the project would not proceed at this site. Traffic concerns were mentioned regarding the upgrading of 170th Street, and a signal at Five Hawks. Mr. Johnson said these details have yet to be worked out. Final comments revolved around the possibility of bringing in a restaurant and the cooperation Nell Boderman could expect in finding a new tenant. Following the departure of the Scottland Builders representatives, the Economic Development Committee decided to set a date to further discuss the details of this proposal. Staff was directed to prepare a flow chart and identify the facts that will impact this development. III. MUSA Line Discussion Paul B, an employee of the Metropolitan Council was asked to come to the Economic Development Committee meeting to discuss the impact of the 1990 census on Prior Lake's MUSA line. Paul introduced the conce~t of the MUSA line, and explained that the purpose is to promote consistent and coordinated development. The MUSA line currently defines our growth capacity up until the year 2000. Changes to the MUSA line will be considered if the City submits a plan amendment proposal. The area inside the MUSA line is generally swapped with area. The City would prefer in the MUSA line. However, expansion can be made if household employment and other growth indicators indicate that an expansion is timely. The impact of the 1990 census is that the growth indicators will be updated and may prove the need for expansion. IV.
