Waterfront Passaqe Business Park Kay distributed a copy of the covenants of the Business Office Park. The EDC was asked to review them before the next meeting. Kay indicated that the document format is different but the content was the same as discussed last summer. Kay indicated that the City will be hiring a consultant to complete the usages and that the EDC will be asked to work with him on this project. Jim asked that the original members of the review committee be asked to comment. The EDC also questioned the name of the Business Office Park, indicating a strong dislike of the name. III. Commercial and Industrial Property Inventory Discussion on this item occurred because of the need to update the current inventory. The group discussed the format of the current Commercial and Industrial Property Inventory and made a couple of recommendations as to the changes that were desired. After reviewing the City of Champlin's Property Inventory, the group felt that it would be beneficial for Prior Lake's Inventory to have a table of contents that was more presentable and easier to understand. In general, the layout needs to be modified. Bob Barsness raised the question of whether or not it was solely a property inventory or also a building inventory. The group consensus was that it was a property inventory. However, if the property included an existing building, the square footage of that structure would also be included in the inventory. City staff will take responsibility in updating this Commercial and Industrial Property Inventory. IV. Project Update Sienna Jim Hill reported that this development will have around 220 lots and the homes will be in the $150,000 range. It was also reported that a modified plan will be presented to City staff for preliminary plat approval in 30 to 40 days. Student Advisory Council Dar Fosse reported that the group is still interested in pursuing the option of a movie theater for Prior Lake. They have been in contact with 3 or 4 potential groups who may be interested. Priordale Mall has come up as a potential site for a theater, but other options may be considered. A feasibility study is also in the works to determine the possibilities of this becoming a reality. County Market Bob Barsness reminded the group that they were invited to the Open House for the new County Market Grand Opening celebration that was to be held that evening. The official ribbon cutting was scheduled for 6:00 p.m. Mystic Lake The group was informed by Bob Barsness that the casino was planning on adding an addition that would be larger than its existing bu%lding. The new facility, which will be connected an some way to the existing building, will have a country and western type theme. In a related issue, Ray Lemley commented on video gaming. He thought that the gaming law would get heard this year due to all of the involvement by the VFW's, American Legion's and all of the charitable gambling groups in the State. However, it is unlikely that anything will happen this year. Bob Barsness also reported that he recently spoke with Stanley Crooks. During this conversation, Mr. Crooks noted that construction of the new Community Center was anticipated for this spring. The Wilds There was no report. 2 V® Report by Committee Chairs star city Dar Fosse reported that the subcommittee was in the process of finalizing the re-certification material for 1993. The only ~iece left to be completed involves the goals and objectives of the EDC and how they relate to the 1993 work program. The completed package will be presented at the next EDC meeting. Business Office Park Jim Hill informed the group that the Business Office Park Subcommittee has not met recently and that they will report to the group at a later date. Marketing Dean Sutliff reported to the group that a Communication Plan is in the process of being developed. Discussion occurred as to what needed to be done before launching the Communication Plan. Dean indicated that the target market must be identified so that effective direct mailing can be used. The target market is going to consist of small industries and small businesses. If these can be identified, direct mailing can than occur. This is important when it comes to the costs involved. It is much more cost effective to use a specific approach when mailing as opposed to a blanket mailing. Equally important is the higher response rate that will also occur with direct mailing. It was the consensus of the committee that an EDC Director was essential in following up any marketing campaign that takes place so that proper correspondence can occur. An action plan for the Communication Program was discussed by the group and it was decided that an article in the Prior Lake American would be the first step. Kay said that she would talk to Jim Riccioli to try and set something up at the appropriate time. Discussion also occurred regarding the possibility of an "open listing" to try and sell the land. Rachel said she would try to come up with a list of people and publications that would be helpful in this matter if it were to be pursued. A timeframe was set regarding the article in the Prior Lake American. It was the consensus of the group that the article appear in the March 1 edition of the paper. The subcommittee will continue its work on the Communication Plan. A meeting was scheduled for January 28 at 7:30 a.m. at City Hall. VI. Review Annual Report Bret Woodson supplied the group with a new copy of pages 5 and 6 of the Annual Report. These two pages outline the timeframe for the 1993 Work Program.

Because of the ramifications and impacts of this issue, Bob and Kay will look into the possibility of scheduling a meeting with the EDC and Mr. Israelson to discuss the issues at hand. Bob introduced Roy Stromme to the group. Roy is a resident of Prior Lake who is very interested in becoming involved with the EDC. He is a lawyer and has his own law office located in Minneapolis. Bob reported that Roy had made a suggestion to a company known as Katun, to check out the Business Office Park in Prior Lake. Katun is a company that deals in products for copy machines. They are one of the largest producers of this type of product. The company is currently located in Bloomington, but plans to relocate their manufacturing and distributing center to Davenport, Iowa. They are looking to keep their administrative office in the Twin Cities area. The space that they would need is roughly 75,000 square feet. The EDC will continue to pursue this matter. Bob requested that the following items be placed on the next EDC Agenda along with the usual items. They are: County Road 18, Protective Covenants for Waterfront Passage Business Park, and the initial Marketing Plan. VIII.

At that meeting the Planning Commission voted down (3-1) Warren Israelson's request to change the 18% lot coverage requirement. Rachel reported that she spoke with Gary .Tupy, Todd Hertaus, and Warren Israelson about this issue. The overall consensus was that this ordinance has to be changed.

Further discussion occurred regarding the position the EDC will take. A MOTION BY JIM HILL, SECONDED BY DEAN SUTLIFF, IN FAVOR OF ELIMINATING THE 18% LOT COVERAGE ORDINANCE. THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. THE RATIONALE FOR THIS WAS AS FOLLOWS: CITY STAFF HAS NOT ENFORCED IT FOR 20 YEARS. THE CITIZENS OF PRIOR I2%KE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ADD-ON AND IMPROVE THE VALUE OF THEIR HOMES. THEY WONtT BE ABLE TO SELL THEIR HOME BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A VARIANCE. LEGAL CONCERNS OVER A POSSIBLE LAWSUIT. III. Protective Covenants for Waterfront Passaqe Business Park Kay introduced Philip Carlson, a Senior Planner from Dahl~ren, Shardlow, and Uban. He will work with the committee to try and iron out the specifics of the Protective Covenants by critiquing them and helping the group go through the process. The issue was raised of whether or not Protective Covenants were the way to go, or if basic standards would be a better approach. Phil suggested creating a separate Business Park Zone. The City could then establish different standards for the Business office Park by creating the rationale for their existence. In summary, the group will consider the options of creating a new zoning district for this office park, and also consider using standards as opposed to Protective Covenants. These are things that will be discussed in meetings to follow. A subcommittee was formed to work with Phil on these issues. The subcommittee includes: Phil, Kay and Bob. IV.

They are in the process of putting together information that is needed such as: population figures, locale of other nearby theaters, and any other statistics that are needed by interested theater groups. Mystic Lake Bob informed the group once again about the plans for an addition to be added on to the already existing casino. This would include more gaming, a sit down restaurant and possible conference area. There are no plans for a hotel in this phase of the operation. The group ~as also %nformed of the possibility of another building being erected on the northeast corner of County Roads 82 and 83. This facility would be mainly office space and storage space for the casino and its operations. Some discussion also occurred on the new Community Center being proposed for this sp~ing. The sticking point still seems to be resting on the sewer and water issue. The Wilds Kay reported to the group that a special Wilds Workshop has been scheduled for Tuesday, February 16 from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. in the Prior Lake City Hall Council Chambers. She explained that this should be a very important Workshop and that all members should try and attend. County Road 18.

The meeting was held at the Prior Lake city Hall. II. III. me ADDrove the March 16, 1993 EDC Minutes MOTION BY NAT WISSER, SECONDED BY DAR FOSSE, TO APPROVE THE MARCH 16, 1993 EDC MEETING MINUTES AS PRESENTED. THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. StarjProgram Marketing Conference A brochure was circulated regarding the upcoming Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic'Development Conference on Regional Targeted Marketing. Efforts~ This presentation will take place on April 20, 1993 from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. at the St. Cloud Radisson. Bret distributed a sign up sheet for the conference; nine members signed up for the conference. Further details and car pool information will be worked out at a later date. Economic DeVelopment Day Nat informed the group about the upcoming Economic Development Day being put on by the Scott County Economic Development Coalition. The purpose of the event is to inform developers, real estate brokers, and business p~ospects of the development opportunities available in Scott County. The mailing list will include around 250 individuals, not including community representatives. In response to this, Bret circulated a tentative list of 1 invitees put together by the SCEDC. Bret instructed the  roup to add any names that they felt should be ncluded. The event is scheduled for Friday, May 21, 1993 at the Canterbury Inn in the Tr%ple Crown Room. Invitees will be guests of the coalition for lunch which will be served at 12:00 noon. The featured speaker will be James McComb of McComb and Associates. Mr. McComb's firm specializes in market analysis. The members were encouraged to mark this date on their calendars. Further details will be shared at a later date. IV. Update on Business Office Park Bob Barsness informed the group that he, Kay and Roger Guenette met with the executives of Katun on Friday, March 19, 1993. The purpose of the meeting was to present the City's proposal to the corporation in hopes of enticing them to relocate to Waterfront Passage Office Park. Katun is entertaining proposals from various communities in the area. Katun officials reported to Bob B., Kay and Roger, after their meeting, that Prior Lake's proposal was very competitive with other offers they have received to date. Bob B. re~o~ted that the trio requested that Katun make a decision on the Prior Lake proposal within 30 a days. A brief discussion occurred regarding the purchase of the land for the proposed office park. Bob B. informed the group that he hoped this issue would be resolved and settled soon. In a related issue, Jeannie reported on Burnsville's Industrial Park. She explained that they have four or five possible tenants, including a medical waste disposal company. The group responded to this with the question of how can the EDC stay abreast on these issues on a regular basis. One suggestion was to monitor all neighboring communities local papers. Bret informed the group that he would check to see which newspapers the City was currently receiving. Jim Hill brought up for discussion Keyland Homes. He reported that Keyland Homes was waiting for a proposal from the City on the details of the proposed office park. Jim .q~.estioned what the hold up was at City Hall and why nothing has been presented to Keyland Homes. Dean informed the group about the recent Planning 2 We Commission meeting where Phil Carlson made a presentation on the history of planning and zoning standards. Phil has been hired by the City to .develop Standards for the new office park. The information Phil is basing the Standards on comes from a draft of Protective Covenants that were created at an earlier date. Bret reported that Phil will be attending the April 13, 1993 EDC meeting to present the Standards for thoughts and comments. The Standards are also scheduled to be considered by the Planning Commission on May 6, 1993. Bob B. reminded the group of the fact that if Katun Corporation decides to come to Prior Lake, the Standards may need to be higher. The group agreed and further discussion occurred on the timeframe details. The members also raised the issue that the open forum pro?ess was being shied away from by hiring one individual to draft the Standards. Bret responded to this by stating that Phil Carlson has met with City Planner Horst Graser and has been supplied with all data that has been collected on the subject. A brief discussion occurred. Agenda for Council Workshop Bret distributed to the members a copy of the Outline For Discussion of the Roles and Responsibilities of the EDC for the April 2nd Council Workshop, drafted by Kay. The following discussion occurred on this.item. The first item talked about was the group's dissatisfaction with where they were placed on the Workshop Agenda. Many members felt it would be a waste of time for the EDC to go all the way to Plymouth for an hour and a half meeting. The big concern centered around the fact that the EDC was not included in the 6:00-7:30 p.m. session involving the overall City goals for 1993-1994. Bob B. said that he would talk to Frank about possibly including the EDC in this earlier session. The next item of discussion focused on revising and editing the draft EDC Outline for the Council Workshop put together by Kay. It was the consensus of the group to change the format of the outline to list the top four priorities, and then the rest of the priorities to follow with no distinction between low and medium priorities. They should simply fall under the category of other priorities. The top four priorities, as decided by the group, 3 include: 1) hiring a full-time EDC Director, 2) Business office Park, 3) The Wilds, and 4) County Road 18 bridge project. It was also the consensus of the group to e%i~inate the o~tion of using a consultant as opposed to hiring a full-time EDC Director. The group felt that it was important to have the individual in the Prior Lake area to ensure effective, prompt follow-up on any ~ossible lead. Further discussion occurred on this issue. The group requested that the revised outline be faxed to them as soon as the revisions have been made. Bret stated he would discuss the changes with Kay, and fax the revised outline when complete. vi. Other Business Nat informed the group of the recent Chamber of Commerce meeting where Richard Burtness gave a presentation on The Wilds. Nat said the presentation was similar to one that was given about a month ago to the City Council and staff. He once again explained the housing project, golf course and hotels. The issue that struck Nat the most was Mr. Burtness' persistence in stressing the education system of Prior Lake. Nat said that Mr. Burtness really hammered on the issue. In response to that, Dar read an excerpt from a letter he received from the head of the Metropolitan Council. The letter was in response to Dar's letter he sent a few weeks ago asking for support of the County Road 18 bridge project. Further discussion occurred on this item. VII. Adjournment The EDC meeting adjourned at 9:00 a.m. The next meeting is scheduled for April 13, 1993 at 7:15 a.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers. WAYNE P. ANNI§ ~rch ~0, ~9~ (612) 447-4226 , 4607 COLORAOO S. E. · PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55:~72 . toJ Members, Prior Lake =ity Oouncil and E.D.~.. Yesterday I attened your public hearing on our lagging indus- trial~ development promotion in Prior Lake. I,ve watched it over the past 15 years, and I,m ready to offer a suggestion. As a retired professional,' I boil it all down to one word: what you have is a. PERSONNEL problem. You need to select an employee who has' experience and skills in industrial promotion and development, somebody with an Outreaching personality. You need a person with salesmanship personality, somebody who can walk out there and sell himself and Prior Lake; locate and serve industrial and residential developers. Go find them'. Once you have such a producer, you would of course have to make certain changes within the City Oouncil. It is possible' you have been a bit negativ, e, a hit picky. Possibly you haven't involved the C0~I~SINIT~ in you~ decision making. NOW: Let's get down to business on the HEALTHCARE CENTER, an s~ue which is about to burst, an issue which Council Lady Carol Sco~ refused to let me bring up at the week's meeting. 'What we want now is a total reversal of what you did in 1986 when a nursing home developer came to town. Let me help: In those days, prior to the GoVernor Carlson era, .we used the '"commodity system" in long-term care. If a.developer saw a bus- iness opportunity, let him try it and help him get past the morator i urn. The Arne Carlson viewpoint is the opposite. He wants appropriate.ness, business_ efficiency,, dollar-saving econ- omy, and human services provided rather tha~ dodge,d. Whether we can get an innovation like LOCALIZATION thru this s.es- sion of the legislature is. doubtful because everybody is under inhuman pressure due to budget crisis 'and all those changes. That should not deter us in our local efforts. We nee d that local group we've called-Senior--_~ealth Awareness G_roup activated.. With the Moratorium shelved, we start relying on community needs, community demand, local activation,' who is behind wha t~ Get a healthcare developer going and work with him, push a little. With our LOCALIZATION plan afoot, using S.H.A.G~, our fish are all ready to fry. Sure we work appropriately with our E.D.C. group, but the muscle behind it all is PEOPLE.

The meeting was held at the Prior Lake City Hall. II. Approve the March 23, 1993 EDC Minutes MOTION BY NAT WISSER, SECONDED BY JIM HILL, THE MARCH 23, 1993 EDC MEETING MINUTES AS THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. TO APPROVE PRESENTED. Confirm 1993 Goals & Objectives Bob informed the group, that he attended the Annual Council Workshop on April 2, 1993 to represent the EDC. The members reviewed and discussed a draft copy of the 1993-1994 Goals and Objectives. Discussion occurred on objective number one. Kay clarified to the group what the Council had expressed as the reasons for having this objective. She continued by saying that all EDC members should remember that they are representing the City of Prior Lake in their day to day activities. Kay also informed the group ~hat if they received a complaint on anything regarding the City, they should go directly to the City Manager. Nat Wisser brought up objective number five for discussion. The group agreed with Nat, that this objective had to be revised. Further discussion occurred on this and other objectives of the draft copy. This item will be continued at the next EDC meeting on April 27, 1993. III. Discuss EDC Director Position Kay explained to the group the proposed option of 1 contracting out for economic development services as o~posed to hiring a full-time Economic Development Director. A memo prepared by Kay was provided to the committee explaining the recommendation for contractual economic development services. A brief discussion occurred. After agreeing that this would be a productive alternative Kay informed the group that staff would begin preparing RFP's in order to encourage competitive proposals. Advanced Resources, which th? City has used for many years, was brought up for discussion. The group suggested that the City go ahead and hire this firm, specifically Roger Guenette, to handle the responsibilities. It was a consensus of the group that a drawn out process would be a waste of time. The group stressed the importance of getting someone started as soon as possible. Because the City has used Roger Guenette in the past, and it has been successful, he should be the person we use. A MOTION BY RAY LEMLEY, SECONDED BY JIM HILL, TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT ROGER GUENETTE OF ADVANCED RESOURCES BE HIRED ON A CONTRACTUAL BASIS AS A SHORT TERM STRATEGY TO ACCOMPLISH THE EDC GOALS, WITH A REVIEWAL AFTER THE FIRST SIX MONTHS TO ENSURE EFFECTIVENESS. THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. IV. Phil Carlson - Industrial Park Standards Phil Carlson attended the meeting to present to the committee the suggested Business Park Zoning Standards. Phil reported to' the group that based on preliminary discussions with City staff and the Planning Commission, he has prepared a draft of a Business Park Zoning District for Prior Lake The gr?up members were supplied a copy of this drift for revlewal and comments. Discussion occurred on the suggested Development Review Committee (DRC) which would be an appointed committee of City staff to review all development plans and determine if they comply with the set forth standards. Phil clarified for the group that these appointments would be made by the City Manager. Bob brought up the Katun situation and wondered how their decision to come to Prior Lake, or not to come, would effect these Standards. These standards may need to be adjusted depending on their decision to make the park more marketable. Kay suggested that Katun be sent a copy of these proposed Standards along with the Landscape Ordinance for their reviewal. The rest of the group agreed. 2 Dar raised a question regarding the signage section of the Standards. The statement in question was "no advertising or identification signage shall be permitted on any building exterior in the Business Park District " Further discussion occurred on this issue. Jim had a question on the lot coverage requirement. The draft Standard currently states that no more than 35% of any lot shall be covered by buildings. A brief discussion followed. Phil reminded the group that this was only a draft copy and it could be changed if it does not reflect the look that is wanted. Because of time constraints, this item will be continued at the next EDC meeting on April 27, 1993. Ve Business office Park ~pdate - Katun Proposal Kay informed the group that she had recently spoke with Glenn Spitzer, the Vice President of Katun, regarding Prior Lake's proposal. According to Mr. Spitzer, Prior Lake submitted the best financial pr?posal, and is on top of the list of potential sites for Katun to relocate. The President of Katun has been out of the country and is due back soon. Upon his return, he is supposedly going to visit the sites before making the final decision. VI. P~oject Update Student Advisory Council Kay reported to the committee that she took a group of students to tour a movie theater up in New Hope who seemed interested in the idea of expanding their operation in the Prior Lake area. The Cinema 'n' Drafthouse, managed by Brian Minette, is a new entertainment option that combines eating at a restaurant and seeing a movie. Their current facility is located in an old grocery store. The group agreed that this would be a perfect anchor tenant for the Priordale Mall. Kay also told the grou~ ~hat Nell Boderman of Priordale Mall has been recelv~ng a lot of calls showing interest in the Mall. The Wilds Discussion occurred on this project, specifically its status with the Met Council. Supposedly the Met Council has found a snag in the plan regarding the MUSA Line. Kay informed the committee that there is going to 3 be more and more workshops coming up explaining The Wilds and its status. She also reminded the group that The Wilds committee meets weekly here at City to out . Hall tryigg ~ron details of the project Further discussion occurred. Bloominqton Ferry Bridge The EDC stated that they are ready to do what is necessary regarding the bridge, project. Kay reported that the Council may d~cide to turn over some ~espons%bility to the committee at an upcoming Council meeting. VII. Discuss Economic Impact of Residential Lot Sizes Bob informed the group that the City Council had instructed the EDC to analyze the economic impact of residential lot sizes. Some of the thoughts from the group included the following: growth i? coming .whether we want it or not; we need a cross-sect~on of d~fferent sized lots that allow different groups to come into Prior Lake; no one will come to Prior Lake to pay big bucks for these big lots; smaller lots mean more growth; we need affordable housing; when people go to a bank for a loan, they want to know how much house they can get for their money{ people want more home, not more lot. Further discussion occurred on this issue. Dar mentioned that he had heard that Lakeville has some set-up where they can establish a break even point. Bob then directed Bret to look into this study to see if Prior Lake can figure out a break even point.

INDIAN COMMUNITY SEWER AGREEMENTS - On Thursday, _April 1~, i993, Bill Rudnicki repr~senting-the Dakota Co~munity, Dennis Kraft~ C~ty Administrator of Shakopee, and I met to discuss the prov!sions of _the new Sewer Agreement proposed for reservation land lying north of County Road 42. At the meeting, I learned for the first time that the Sioux Communi~y's cWrrent thinking does not include a Recreation Center in Shakopee as was or~Hl~ proposed. They are, none the less, s~eking a Sewer Agreement for the resi~ential properties in this area. They are.now consider~ng placing the Recreation_Center ~loser to Mystic Lake Casino, on trust proper~y within Prior Lake. I advised Bill that if the Community Center were to come to pass, we would be interested in some sort of guarantee that Prior Lake residents would receive equal access to the facility as members of the Indian Community or corporation. also indicated that he would provide me with a copy of hensive ~lan which shows the intended usage of ty oyer the next several years. He stated that Indian Community owned some two-hundred and sixty acres of land, it now owns six-hundred and ten acres and the ultimate projections of land acquisitions amount to fifteen-hundred acres in Prior Lake and Shakopee. We agreed that both Cities would supply_their proposed amendments to both Sewer'Agreements by Friday, May 7, 1993. Then by Friday, May 25, 1993, a Fe-draft of the plans will be made availab~e, after we submit our amendments, I expect that there will be a necessity for additional meetings with Bill to review our concerns. INCORPORATED CONSULTING PLANNERS LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS 300 FIRST AVENUE NORTH SUITE 210 MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55401 612.339.3300 DATE: 14 April 1993 Prior Lake Economic Development Committee FROM: Philip Carlson, AICP; Dahlgren, Shardlow, and Ub.an, Inc. Suggested Business Park Zoning Standards Based on preliminary discussions with City Staff and the Planning Commission, we have prepared the attached draft of a Business Park Zoning District for Prior Lake. The district sets forth not only standards for development in the City's new business park, but also a new process for reviewing development plans. The new district contains the following: 1) Intent. A clearly stated purpose for the new district and its standards. 2) Development Review Committee (DRC). An appointed committee of City staff to review all development plans and determine if they comply with the standards. This is similar to, but not identical to, the Architectural Review Committee that was suggested in the Covenants proposed earlier- Because there are clearly stated standards, the DRC's role is interpretation of the ordinance, not subjective critique of design and aesthetics. 3) Uses. The various permitted, conditional, and accessory uses are a combination of the existing ordinance and discussions on the Business Park. 4) Lot Requirements, Setbacks: Similar to existing ordinance standards. s) Design Standards~ The standards proposed here arc consistent with high quality business parks in the metropolitan area. If there are businesses that do not or cannot fit within these standards there may still be a place for them in Prior Lake, but not in this business park. These standards do not include landscaping, which is covered in the newly adopted landscape ordinance. We plan to take the EDC's comments to the Plnnning Commission for a recommendation to the City Council on this new zoning district. CITY OF PRIOR LAKE BP BUSINESS PARK ZONING DISTRICT Intent.

THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. ROBBINS, TO MINUTES AS II. Confirm 1993 Goals & Objectives Discussion continued on this item as a carry over from the last EDC meeting. Jim wanted someone to define what "community outreach" consisted of in goal number one. Kay pointed out that it was not meant to be such a structured process. It is something that the EDC members should do in their day to day activities. Goal number three was up for discussion next. Dar raised the question of where the center of our community is. Kay explained that this was defined in the Comprehensive Plan that each EDC member should have received. This goal centers around redevelopment areas within the city. Jim brought up the point that there are all sorts of redevelopment plans for the downtown area. We should find these plans and use them. A master plan should be developed to address three areas of the City: Gateway Center, Downtown, and the Priordale Mall. This will be addressed in the upcoming EDC meetings. Kay pointed out that according to the Comprehensive Plan, County Road 21 will be the focal point of the community. The Downtown should consist of service oriented shops, while the Priordale Mall may be considered our Commercial Center. III. IV. VI. Further discussion occurred on the rest of the goals and objectives, minor modifications were made to accommodate the group's concerns. Some of the modifications included combining number six with three, due to their similarity. Number five was simplified to stress the EDC's liaison role in the community. The seventh goal was discussed and it was decided to include The Wilds in this particular goal, which the group thought to be very important. Report on Contractual Services - Advanced Resources Kay informed the group that the Council during the last Council meeting approved staff's recommendation of Roger Guenette to handle the EDC services. Roger will be on board starting May 1, and his first EDC meeting will be May 11, 1993. A reviewal will take place after six months to inform the Council how the arrangement is working. Business Office Park Update Kay reported to the group that we have not closed on the land. Hopefully this will happen soon so the process can continue. Kay also reported on Katun Corporation and what their plans were. The thirty day period the City gave Katun to decide has come and gone. According to Glenn Spitzer, the President is still out of the country and has not been able to come out and visit the site. Kay reported that Keyland was still interested, but this raised the issue of outdoor storage. Something that Katun has expressed they didn't want. Distribute CIP Bret and Kay distributed a copy of the CIP for the EDC to review for the next meeting. This will be on the agenda for the May 11, 1993 EDC meeting. Phil Carlson - Industrial Park Standards Phil distributed an exercise to the members in an attempt to visualize the concepts of the Industrial Park Standards. The exercise showed a five acre site. Items illustrated within the exercise included: site square footage, building sq~.are footage, coverage percentage, office/warehouse mix, and parking setbacks. Extensive discussion occurred on the illustrated issues. Phil pointed out that their must be an agreement as to what should be the image of the Business Park District, because once the Standards are set they must be abided by and enforced. VII. IX. Discussion continued on the thirty five percent coverage ratio. The group instructed Phil to do a similar exercise showing an eighty five percent impervious surface ratio to let the group visualize that concept. Phil also stated that a coverage ratio may not be needed, if proper and effective outside parameters are established. Another issue in the Standards that was addressed included the area of outdoor storage. The.group agreed that this should be limited and have restrictions as to the amount and location of the outdoor storage. Further discussion occurred on this and other areas of the Standards. Any changes made will be addressed by Phil and the final draft will be on the EDC Agenda for final approval on May 11, 1993. If approved the Standards will go to the Planning Commission on May 20, 1993. Other Business Nat reported on the upcoming Economic Development Day being put on by the Scott County Economic Development Committee. The date has been scheduled for May 21, 1993. Further details will be available in the upcoming weeks. Ray informed the group about a recent trip he took to the Green Bay area of Wisconsin. Currently that area is experiencing similar issues as Prior Lake is concerning Indian gaming. The tribe from Green Bay started small, like Little 6, and now it is buying all the land that goes up for sale in the area in an attempt to gain more land. This land, of course, gets taken off of the tax rolls. The City of Prior Lake should be aware of what is going on elsewhere in the area regarding this issue. Adjournment The EDC meeting adjourned at 9:00 a.m. The next meeting is scheduled for May 11, 1993 at 7:15 a.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers. 3 PRIOR LAKE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE TUESDAY, MAY 25, 1993 7:15 A.M. - 9:00 A.M.

Motion carried at 8:47 a.m. _, I~esources for Development, Inc. DATE: May 17, 1993 TO: Prior Lake EDC FROM: Roger Guenette RE: Implementation of 93/94 Work Program In reviewing the 1993 Economic Development Work Program it is apparent that there are many issues that the EDC has identified for involvement. Based upon our past work with the city and recent activity regarding the business park it is my sense that the priority goal is to successfully structure and implement 1-2 new developments within the park during the remainder of this year. At the same time, we must find a way to successfully address and respond to the needs of existing businesses and pressing redevelopment needs. In this regard I have outlined various activities and related tasks designed to impact upon these development priorities.
