term of the Preliminary Development Agreement related to the redevelopment of EDA owned
property at 4662-4666 Dakota Street SE with a mixed-use multi-family residential building to be
known as Cora Apartments. McCabe summarized the EDA discussion from their previous
meeting where representatives of The Beard Group was in attendance to provide a project
update.
EDA Commissioners: discussed the extension timeline and desire for the Beard Group to attend
an EDA meeting in early 2025 to provide another project update once more information is known
about interest rates and labor and material costs.
MOTION BY MARCO, SECONDED BY BRIGGS TO AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE THE THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE PRELIMINARY
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
4646 Dakota Street SE
Prior Lake, MN 55372
Ayes by Boucher-Hoese, Prchal, Briggs and Marco. The motion carried 4-0.
B. Downtown Redevelopment Assistance
McCabe: stated staff has been working with the property owner on a future redevelopment of
the former T-Shirts and More building at 4636 Colorado Street SE. The new building is proposed
at a zero-foot setback to the front property line and the owner is interested in outdoor restaurant
seating. The work being proposed will require the current drive over curb to be removed and
replaced with a standard curb, which may allow for a few on-street parking spaces. McCabe
discussed the issues on-street parking could have on adjacent businesses and informed the
EDA that City staff suggested the property owner consider extending the current pedestrian
bump-out further east to provide additional space for outdoor seating, traffic calming, and
address a potential conflict between vehicles parking and queuing while waiting to pick up their
children. McCabe discussed the estimated cost for this work and the property owner request for
city assistance to cover the cost of the public improvement portion of their project.
EDA Commissioners: discussed the pros and cons of the proposed project. Commissioners
directed staff to investigate options further and bring the item back for EDA consideration at a
future meeting.
C. 16298 Main Avenue SE Parking Lot Improvements
McCabe: informed the commissioners that the tenant of the EDA-owned property at 16298 Main
Ave. SE is interested in paving a portion of their parking lot that is currently gravel. The tenant
has secured three bids for the work with the low bid being $9,500. McCabe stated the tenant
offered to pay for the work but requested a reduction in rent to offset this expense. McCabe
discussed the current lease term and rate and stated the EDA may want to consider a slight
increase in monthly rent to account for the increase in property tax payments over the past two
years.
EDA Commissioners: discussed the request and supported a monthly rent increase
commensurate with the property tax increase. Commissioners supported the paving project as
necessary and a benefit to the property and agreed to reimburse the tenant up to $9,500 for
their cost to have the parking lot paved.
D. Adult Use Cannabis Zoning Code Updates
McCabe and Wedel: updated the commissioners on the work that will be done by staff, the
Planning Commission and City Council related to recent legislation legalizing the use and sale
of adult use cannabis products.
9. OTHER BUSINESS
A. Staff Updates
McCabe and Wedel: provided the commissioners with an update on the new Orderly Annexation
Agreement between the City and Spring Lake Township that has been approved by both parties
and the State of Minnesota.
B. Commissioner Comments

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: December 9, 2024
AGENDA #: 7A
PREPARED BY: Casey McCabe, Community Development Director
AGENDA ITEM:
Downtown Redevelopment Assistance
DISCUSSION:
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider a request for EDA financial as-
sistance to assist with a downtown redevelopment project.
History
Black Hills Properties, LLC purchased the former T-Shirts and More building at
4636 Colorado Street SE in December 2023. The property owners have been
working with city staff on plans to remove the building and construct a new two-
story commercial building that would be home to a new restaurant and provide
additional office and/or retail space for lease.
Current Circumstances
The current building is set back approximately 30 feet from the front property
line and has a surface parking lot located in front of the building for almost the
entire width of the parcel. The property owners are proposing to construct a
new building to a zero-foot front yard setback, which would leave little space for
desired outdoor seating. While reviewing preliminary site plans, city staff noted
the redevelopment will need to include removal of the current drive over curb
and replacement with a standard 6-inch curb; this work will also require the
removal of the sidewalk over the entire width of the property as the grade of the
sidewalk will need to be adjusted to meet the new curb line.
The new sidewalk would present an opportunity for on-street parking; however,
staff has concerns with potential conflicts on-street parking may have on adja-
cent businesses. City staff suggested the property owner consider extending
the current pedestrian bump-out in front of Premiere Dance further east to i)
offer additional space for outdoor restaurant seating, ii) provide greater traffic
calming in the area, and iii) address a potential conflict between vehicles park-
ing in front of the restaurant and others who are queuing on the shoulder of the
street while waiting to pick up their children.
Extending the bump-put and expanding the sidewalk is not a requirement of the
city, although city staff and the property owners both see benefits to the public
and the new building. The cost for the bump-out and sidewalk expansion was
not anticipated by the property owners, and they are asking for the EDA to con-
sider financial assistance for the public improvement portion of their project.
The property owners provided an estimate of $21,058 for this work.
In addition, when the recent downtown south reconstruction project was com-
pleted, new sewer and water services were installed in their previous location;
however, the sewer and water utilities are located east of the property line and
cross over the adjacent parcel. The property owners are proposing to install
2
new water and sanitary stubs from the mains within the street to the property
line, which is estimated to cost $50,000.
Conclusion
If the EDA is supportive of providing financial assistance, the commission
should provide direction to staff related to the amount and purpose of the fund-
ing and staff will prepare a resolution formally approving financial assistance
for EDA consideration at the January meeting. The EDA may wish to consider
recommending approval of some or all of the costs identified, recommending
additional assistance or identifying a maximum dollar amount to assist with eli-
gible project costs.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Motion and second to recommend the City Council approve the redevelop-
ment assistance package as proposed, or as may be further amended by
the EDA.
2. Motion and Second to recommend the City of Prior Lake does not partici-
pate in this redevelopment project with financial assistance.

MEETING DATE: December 9, 2024
AGENDA #: 8A
PREPARED BY: Casey McCabe, Community Development Director
AGENDA ITEM:
Arts and Culture Committee Bylaw Amendment
DISCUSSION:
Introduction
The purpose of this item is to consider an amendment to the Arts and Culture
Committee (ACC) Bylaws.
History
On February 8, 2021, the EDA approved the Arts and Culture Committee By-
laws. The ACC Bylaws have been revised two times since they were originally
approved by the EDA.
Current Circumstances
Following a recent vacancy on the ACC, city staff solicited applications for a
new committee member to fill the open position. Several applications were
received from qualified candidates. As a result, the ACC interview committee
wished to recommend the appointment of three individuals to the committee,
opposed to only one.
The ACC Bylaws currently state, the Committee shall consist of a minimum of
three (3) and no more than seven (7) members appointed by the EDA. The
ACC interview committee is recommending an amendment to the Bylaws to
state, the Committee shall consist of a minimum of three (3) and no more than
nine (9) members appointed by the EDA.
The proposed amendment would provide for a wider range of expertise and
perspective while maintaining a managable committee size.
Conclusion
The requested action includes adoption of a resolution amending the Arts and
Culture Committee Bylaws.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Motion and a second approving a resolution amending the Arts and Culture
Committee Bylaws.
2. Motion and a second to deny a resolution amending the Arts and Culture
Bylaws.
3. Continue discussion at a future meeting.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: December 9, 2024
AGENDA #: 8B
PREPARED BY: Casey McCabe, Community Development Director
AGENDA ITEM:
Appointing Members to Serve on the Arts and Culture Committee
DISCUSSION:
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to approve a resolution to appoint three new
members to the Arts and Culture Committee (ACC).
Background
The ACC has a total of three vacancies due to the resignation of LaVonne August-
son and an amendment to the committee bylaws increasing the number of commit-
tee members from seven to nine.
Members of the ACC serve three-year overlapping terms and are term limited to
three terms, or nine years. Initial terms for the ACC were approved by the EDA on
October 11, 2021 and included staggered one-, two-, and three-year terms.
Ms. Augustson was appointed to a three-year term beginning on November 1, 2022
and has one year remaining. The two new positions are proposed to be appointed
with staggered terms to avoid several committee members reaching the end of their
terms at the same time.
Per the terms of the ACC Bylaws, a notice of the vacancy was made public, and
individuals were encouraged to apply for the position. Four applications were re-
ceived, and all candidates were interviewed by ACC Chair Belanger Braid, ACC
member Dronen, and staff liaison McCabe.
Current Circumstances
The ACC interview committee was very impressed with all candidates for the va-
cancy and is recommending the appointment of three new members to the commit-
tee; Crystal Dvorak to a three-year term, Karin Logerquist to a two-year term, and
Allison Olson to a one-year term which will fill the vacancy created by the resignation
of Augustson.
Conclusion
Per the terms of the ACC Bylaws, the EDA may accept or reject the recommenda-
tion. If the recommendation is rejected, the EDA may appoint another individual or
reopen the application period and invite new candidates to apply.
ALTERNATIVES:
RECOMMENDED
MOTION
1. Motion and second approving a resolution appointing Crystal Dvorak, Karin
Logerquist, and Allison Olson to serve on the Arts and Culture Committee.
2. Motion and second to reject the recommended appointments and appoint an-
other individual or reopen the application period and invite new candidates to
apply.
