II. MINUTES
Since there was no quorum, no official actions were taken.
III. UPDATE ON BUSINESS OFFICE PARK DEVELOPMENT-PROSPECTS
Bonnie Carlson distributed copies of recent correspondence with the following
prospects.
A. KATUN CORPORATION: Glen Spitzer of Katun has re-established
contact with the City of Prior Lake. The city suggested several
potential sites; The Waterfront Business Office Park, the adjacent
land south of the office park and a 40 acre parcel on the south side
of C.R. 42. Mr. Splitzer indicated he would look at the latter site on
the weekend.
B. MULTI-TENANT FACILITY: Roger Guentte is coordinating
discussions between three businesses who are interested in locating
in the Waterfront Passage Business Park and Greystone
Construction. Since each business desires between 3,000 to 5,000
square feet, Roger is exploring the potential for a multi-tenant
building. A meeting of all interested parties has been set up for 9:30
am, March 8, 1994.
C. BECKER ARENA PRODUCTS: The hearing for Tax Increment
District 2-2 for Becker Arena Products is scheduled on March 8,
1994, at 5:00 pm. Mr. Becker plans to begin operating in his new
6,000 sq. ft. facility in the Waterfront Passage Business Office Park
in early fall 1994.
IV. RAINBOW PLAY SYSTEMS
Staff was asked to contact Rainbow Play System to determine whether their
need for a railroad spur precludes Prior Lake as a site.
V. COORDINATION WITH LITTLE SIX & CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The committee received a copy of a letter from Bill Rudnicki, Shakopee
Mdewakanton Sioux Community to Bill Johnson, Little Six, Inc. as a follow-up
to his meeting with the EDC. The Chamber of Commerce is expected to
respond to the suggestions for joint promotional efforts.
VI. 1994 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The Committee reviewed the 1994 goals and objectives. They recommended
the respective items be placed on future agendas at the appropriate time. It
was requested that a copy of the Advanced Resources contract be included
with the next EDC agenda so that evaluation criteria can be developed. The
staff was also asked to locate the marketing plan developed by Dean Sutliff.
VII. OTHER BUSINESS
Frank Boyles reviewed a memo to the City Council regarding the feasibility of
annexation and/or purchasing land adjacent to the Waterfront Passage
Busi ness Park.
