ApPROVAL OF APRIL 19. 1999 MEETING MINUTES AND APRIL 28.1999 SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES: MOTION BY KEDROWSKI , SECOND BY JADER, TO APPROVE THE APRIL 19, 1999 MEETING MINUTES AND THE APRIL 28, 1999 SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES. VOTE: Ayes by Barsness, Kedrowski, Jader and Underferth, the motion carried. CONSENT AGENDA: None. PRESENTATIONS: None. PUBLIC HEARINGS: None. OLD BUSINESS: Results of April 21, 1999 Meeting with Scott County HRA. BYE: Discussed in detail the staff's meeting on April 21 st with the Scott County HRA, including the Scott County Rental Housing Study. Noted that the current rental vacancy rate in Prior Lake is virtually zero. Out of 280 rental units, only four units were available for rent indicating that the rental housing market is very tight. KEDROWSKI: Asked the typical or optimum rate for rental vacancies. RYE: Indicated that a rate of 4%-6% is a standard that typically balances supply and demand. The Study further discussed the specific need analysis as it relates to Prior Lake. The summary and conclusions within the staff report draw a fair analysis of the study. The staff also discussed with the HRA the Shakopee River Center project in detail regarding how the project was orchestrated as well as its financing. The last items discussed were the benefits and drawbacks to utilizing the HRA through a joint powers agreement. Advised that entering into the Agreement does not necessarily initiate any type of project, but would indicate the City's willingness to cooperate with the HRA as potential projects came along. KEDROWSKI: Asked if the Study addressed any average rental rate specific to Prior Lake, and would it be helpful to break out some of the information as it applies to Prior Lake separately from Shakopee and Savage. 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes May 17, 1999 BOYLES: Noted the specific page where the summar} provided rate ranges. BYE: Added that information specific to Prior Lake can be broken out and that it would be useful. UNDERFERTH: Suggested having a discussion whether this EDA would consider marketing some of the undeveloped land within the City to be used for rental housing whether in conjunction with Scott County HRA or independent of them. BARSNESS: Commented that the EDA needs to become aware of the land available and its zoning classification in order to network the development of commercial/industrial with additional rental - housing needs. BYE: Advised that it may be helpful if staff provides an inventory of undeveloped property and its zoning classification. KEDROWSKI: Suggested that in connection with Commissioner Underferth's comments, we may be able to use the issue of high-density residential development to partner with the HRA, using that as a "pilot project" to start to define this relationship. UNDERFERTH: Asked for advice from counsel on whether it is prudent to enter into a joint powers contract without a specific project. Suggested a letter of understanding at this point. KEDROWSKI: Agreed and suggested proposing some smaller project to see how the relationship works. - BARSNESS: Discussed concern with the scope of the HRA's role in any particular project. Agreed that any contract should be narrow when the projects are identified. BYE: Clarified that the HRA can focus on more issues than housing. It would depend on the direction and focus of the EDA. Also noted that the City is responsible for carrying the costs for any property acquired by the HRA as well as their holding costs. KEDROWSKI and JADER agreed. fACE: Asked if the intent of the EDA was that it agreed to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding to work cooperatively with the HRA on a project-by-project basis in lieu of a Joint Powers Agreement at this point. Each of the Commissioners confirmed that Attorney fACE's statement was exactly the intent at this time. MOTION BY KEDROWSKI, SECOND BY UNDERFERTH TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE A DRAFT LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE SCOTT COUNTY HOUSING REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY. VOTE: Ayes by Barsness, Kedrowski, Jader and Underferth, the motion carried. 1:\ADVBODYS\EDA\MINUTES\99\051799.DOC 2 '" ". ."iII, _'-__{--t~,.

Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes May 17, 1999 Results of May 13, 1999 Downtown Redevelopment Workshop. BYE: Reviewed the discussions and input of residents at the Downtown Redevelopment Kick-Off meeting, including identification of the assets to downtown as well as challenges. Mark Koegler will be providing a summary of that workshop which will help him develop some preliminary ideas and lead us into the second Workshop. BOYLES: Commented that the tone of the meeting was very upbeat. People were giving quality input, the process was good, and the consultant was excited about the progress. We would like to see even more people attend. Proposed 2000-2004 Capital Improvement Program. ,BOYLES: Reviewed the purpose of the Capital Improvement Program and briefly reviewed the TH 13 intersection projects scheduled for improvement over the next 5 years, together with their funding sources. Further advised that the County Road 42 frontage road project was not currently scheduled because of the level of fiscal and property impacts. KEDROWSKI: Suggested allowing staff an extra 30-45 days to research additional funding sources with respect to the County Road 42 frontage road project. MOTION BY KEDROWSKI, SECOND BY UNDERFERTH, TO ALLOW STAFF AN ADDITIONAL 30-45 - DAYS TO RESEARCH ADDITIONAL FUNDING SOURCES FOR THE PROJECT IN ORDER TO RECOMMEND SPECIFIC ACTION TO THE COUNCIL. UNDERFERTH: Asked if the Council considered potential commercial development, and would 30-45 days be enough time for staff to compile the additional information that may sway Council support. BOYLES: Believed that the staff could get a preliminary scan of any available funding sources. However, it is unlikely that this project would be added to the CIP for the next 5 years. KEDROWSKI: Clarified that the discussion at the Council level came down to having the funding to acquire the necessary property. VOTE: Ayes by Barsness, Kedrowski, Jader and Underferth, the motion carried. NEW BUSINESS: Consider Megabit Committee Final Report. JADER: Discussed the purpose of the Committee, their discussions with Scott-Rice Telephone and Triax Cable companies, and the results of the Committee's findings. The Committee suggested that Scott-Rice Telephone will be able to meet the needs of the community and that it is important for the City to partner with Scott-Rice to ensure that the high-speed data needs are met both in the near future and long term. Suggested that the EDA continue to monitor the situation, but that the committee should be terminated. 1:\ADVBODYS\EDA\MINUTES\99\051799.DOC 3 Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes May 17, 1999 "": UNDERFERTH: Asked if Scott-Rice Telephone will at some time be capable of cable transmission. JADER: Confirmed that that is correct. There is a lot of competition at this point between cable and telephone companies. But, in any case, the Committee at least found that someone will be able to provide the services that Prior Lake demands. BOYLES: Advised of other committees that will be following the issue, and that the City has recently used Scott-Rice to provide Internet access, as well as to share information electronically between the City and the County. Proposal for Business Visits by EDA Members. BYE.:. Stated that in connection with the EDA's business retention concerns, the staff has identified businesses which meet the EDA's criteria and suggested that teams of two Commissioners individually interview each of the business owners. KEDROWSKI: Commented that he believed it makes a good presentation to send two Commissioners, but also did not have a problem interviewing alone. Stated that this is an important issue that deserves a lot of our attention. Suggested including the casino and Dakotah community businesses to keep the lines of communication open if nothing else. JADER: Suggested that it is important that EDA Commissioners perform the interviews but that the _ members develop some list of topics so that we are discussing the same things. UNDERFERTH: Suggested that two-person teams would be great, but that timing and coordination is a difficult issue. BOYLES: Suggested having one EDA member go with one staff member who could ask the questions and take notes. JADER: Commented that if the Commissioners can go out one-on-one representing the businesses it might be better received. Further discussion occurred regarding the list of businesses, timing and procedures. BARSNESS: Suggested that staff fax around a sign-up list, and that by the next meeting we could have a procedure in place. JADER: Advised that the Chamber in Duluth has hired a business retention consultant that has conducted a survey and compiled its results. They have agreed to share the information with him this week, which he will pass along to staff. Procedures for Authorizing EDA Funds. BOYLES: Discussed a housekeeping measure which would approve invoices to be paid as part of the consent agenda. 1:\ADVBODYS\EDA\MINUTES\99\051799.DOC 4 ''''f''!. __.,t"''''- Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes May 17, 1999 KEDROWSKI: Suggested bringing a recommendation to the Council to initiate an annual special purpose levy to support EDA activities. BARSNESS: Suggested that staff determine the amount allowed under a special levy by the EDA and that the EDA discuss at its next meeting the amount and parameters for its use. MOTION BY KEDROWSKI, SECOND BY JADER, TO APPROVE THE PROCEDURE FOR AUTHORIZING INVOICES AS PROPOSED. KEDROWSKI: Clarified that staff will verify if the change in procedure needs to be approved by the Council. VOTE: Ayes by Barsness, Kedrowski, Jader and Schenck, the motion carried. OTHER BUSINESS: Review 1999 EDA Goals and Objectives. BOYLES: Discussed adding a plan that would target specific development that the EDA is looking for including specific timelines, etc. and suggested revising the goals and objectives. BARSNESS: Asked for a compilation of the notes from the Joint Planning Commission, EDA and City - Council meeting for reference. UNDE~FERTH: Noted that discussion also occurred regarding marketing. BARSNESS: Suggested that he, Boyles and Rye prepare a memo to the EDA for the next meeting regarding the status and/or progress of each of the goals. The Commissioners all agreed.

The HRA had proposed the agreement as a means of providing a funding mechanism for City and County projects. The EDA opted not to enter into a Joint Powers Agreement at this time, but directed staff to draft a Memorandum of Understanding between the two agencies. Issues The primary issue is whether the EDA should enter a Joint Powers Agreement without a specific project in mind. The EDA felt that such an agreement was premature but some understandings between the agencies was appropriate. Attached is a draft of the proposed MOU for the EDA's consideration. 1. Approve the Memorandum of Understanding as proposed or with modifications deemed appropriate and direct staff to transmit the document to the Scott County HRA for its consideration. 2. Do not approve the Memorandum of Understanding Alternative I 16200~~~EP'\~~1~!6W~Minnesota b5372-1714 / Ph.

We requested that each member determine which businesses should be included in the Business Retention Survey and which businesses you would like to interview. The list and your preferences were to be returned to the Planning Department by Wednesday, June 9, 1999, so staff could compile the list and make interview assignments. To date, only one EDA member has returned this list. Since we have not received any other responses, we have not compiled the list or made assignments. Nor have we prepared a sample questionnaire for discussion. This item should be continued to allow EDA members time to return the lists. Once we have received the lists, we will . prepare a sample survey for discussion at the next EDA meeting. A motion and second to continue this item to the July 19, 1999, EDA meeting. 162{1~~~\~<slliI?,\~@Jtlf.<em?~Minnesotat5372-1714 / Ph.

The attached maps and list identify a total of 391.7 acres of land available for High Density Residential development. Of this total, 26.7 acres are presently zoned R-4 (High Density Residential) and have municipal services available. Another 30 acres is designated for High Density Residential and has services available, but is currently zoned C-5 (Business Office Park). The remaining 335 acres of land is located on the north side of CSAH 42, and is presently outside of the City's Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The 2020 Comprehensive Plan proposes a "Floating MUSA" concept which will eliminate the fixed MUSA boundary and regulate development based on an allowed number of acres. This concept would make much of this land available for development in the near future. None needed. 162~~alP~\~~~R\Pt<t~1f?~R~~innesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: REVIEWED BY: JUNE 21, 1999 8B JANE KANSIER, PLANNING COORDINATOR DON RYE, PLANNING DIRECTOR CONSIDER APPROV AL OF REPORT ON FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE CSAH 42 FRONTAGE ROAD At the last EDA meeting, the members requested staff report on the funding alternatives for the CSAH 42 Frontage Road. Funds are required to cover the costs of land acquisition, demolition, relocation, and construction. Staff has researched the opportunities available to the EDA for raising revenue and funding different projects. These opportunities include levying authority, grants from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (RUD), and grants from the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED). Copies of this information is attached to this report. AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION: The available funds for the CSAH 42 project are very limited. The EDA levy cannot be used for property acquisition. The RUD grants are geared toward providing assistance to low and moderate income families. Finally, the DTED grants must meet minimum criteria for private investment, number of jobs created or retained, and wage thresholds. The CSAH 42 project, and the potential redevelopment site, is too small to meet any of these criteria. In conclusion, there are few outside funding opportunities available for the CSAH 42 project. This project will most likely be funded through the City Collector Street fund and through Municipal State Aid funds. RECOMMENDED MOTION: None needed.

Page 1 of2 " ~~J -hud'" ~~a H"" CPD has developed a range of economic development initiatives to complement these efforts. They are designed to exploit the newly-recognized competitive advantage or location efficiency of the inner city. The initiatives and tools include: ,- Overview of CPD Economic Development Initiatives · Economic Development Loan Fund (Section 108) · Section 108 Fact Sheet · Economic Development Initiative · Community and Individual Investment Corporation · CDBG Economic Develo.Qment Activities (State and Entitlement) · Urban Action Development Grant Amendments · Y outhbuild This advantage can be a key weapon in reducing wage disparities and boosting local economies. Cities are particularly well positioned to take advantage of the emergence of regional cluster economies, which rely on the proximity of businesses and supporting institutions as well as tightknit social networl<s to succeed. Cities can be lbe engines of growth in lbe new metropolitan economies. This approach to economic development has been built around four key initiatives: · New Initiatives: The Economic Development Loan Fund (Section 108) In 1993, CPD began reinventing its existing Economic Development Loan Fund (Section 108) as a tool for community revitalization. In FY 1994 and FY 1995, the Loan Fund had its most productive years guaranteeing more than $2.1 billion in loans to create jobs in large and small communities throughout the United States. It is a powerful tool for economic development. The strength of the guaranteed Loan Fund is that it pennits communities to use federally-guaranteed loans, rather than CDBG funds to leverage private funds for the purposes of economic development and community revitalization. This enables communities to use their scarce CDBG dollars for other activities. Since the program was created, HUn never has called on the Treasury to pay back defaulted loans. · New Initiatives: The Economic Development Initiative (EDI) EDI is a new initiative that provides grant funds to enhance the security of the Loan Fund and/or strengthen the economic feasibility of assisted projects. Enacted and implemented for the first time in 1994, EDI enables localities to carry ou t economic development activities where public and private dollars can be leveraged to create jobs and other benefits, especially for low- and moderate-income persons, and reduce the risk of potential future defaults on Loan Fund supported projects. · Enhancing Access to Capital: The Community and Individual Investment Corporation http://www.hud.gov/cpd/econdevl.html ,.!.~.... .. .. ........'.... .~..IooIo......."."...,..,,,.

The cnc is intended to provide ongoing credit for small business development in Enterprise Zones, Enterprise Communities, and other CDBG-eligible communities. CIlCs are intended to complement the ongoing activity of existing community development financial institutions (CDFls). They provide a new opportunity to stimulate asset-building among low- and moderate-income persons and to return these assets to the community in the form of investments in housing, community, and economic development. A unique feature of the cnc is that community residents will have an economic stake in the venture by purchasing shares in the corporation. Page 2 of2 . Revising Regulations and Streamlining Progt8I1ls:CDBG and UDAG as Economic Development Tools CPD significantly increased its job creation capacity by streamlining and revising rules and regulations for its programs. This included a makeover of the CDBG program that involved comprehensive revisions of once- restrictive regulations.

Purpose: Since 1974 COSG has been the backbone of improvement efforts in many communities, providing a flexible source of annual grant funds for local governments nationwide-funds that they, with the participation of local citizens, can devote to the activities that best serve their own particular development priorities, provided that these projects either (1) benefit low- and moderate-income persons; (2) prevent or eliminate slums or blight; or (3) meet other urgent community development needs. The COSG Entitlement Communities program provides this Federal assistance to almost 1000 of the largest localities in the country. As one of the Nation's largest Federal grant programs, the impact of COSG- funded projects can be seen in the housing stock, the business environment, the streets and the public facilities of these entitlement communities. Although the rehabilitation of affordable housing has traditionally been the largest single use of COSG funds, the program is also an increasingly important catalyst for economic development activities that expand jOb and business opportunities for lower income persons and neighborhoods. Type of Assistance: Each year, the grant funds available for entitlement communities are allocated according to relative need on the basis of the higher of two formulas. The first considers the presence of overcrowded housing in the locality, its population, and poverty rate. The second uses housing age, population growth lag, and poverty rate, Eligible Grantees: Recipients of COSG entitlement funds include local governments with 50,000 or more residents, other local governments designated as central cities of metropolitan areas, and urban counties with populations of at least 200,000 (excluding the population of entitled cities), Local governments may carry out all activities themselves or award some or all of the funds to private or public nonprofit organizations as well as for-profit entities. A separate component of COSG-the State COSG Program-provides program funds to the States, which they allocate among localities that do not qualify as entitlement communities. http://WWW.hud.goV/progdesC/cdbgent.html I I 5119/99 ...'!.!I.~.~ r .i.~";:L"-",,a-i"<" ., , ;,_ H ~. .. iii ~.......,,~~~... ....,_ r. Progr...: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Communities Progra Page 2 of 4 Eligible Customers: Low- and moderate-income persons (generally defined as members of a family earning no more than 80 percent of the area median income) benefit most directly and most often from CDBG-funded activities. Grantees must use at least 70 percent of COBG funds for activities that principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons. This includes activities where either the majority of direct beneficiaries (from the jobs created, for example, or the housing units rehabilitated) are low- or moderate-income persons and activities that serve an area generally (a new community center, for example, or sidewalk repairs) where the majority of the residents of that service area are low- and moderate-income persons. Eligible Activities: Grantees may use COBG funds for activities that include (but are not limited to): __ Acquiring real property (primarily land, buildings, and other permanent improvements to the property) for public purposes. This type of activity might include, for example, buying abandoned houses for rehabilitation or an old industrial site in a distressed neighborhood for redevelopment. COBG also helps communities demolish property and clear sites to prepare the land for other uses. -----. __ Reconstructing or rehabilitating housing and other property. From homeless shelters to single-family homes and from playgrounds to shopping centers, COBG enables communities to improve properties that have become less usable, whether due to age, neglect, natural disaster, or changing needs. New construction of housing is allowed only in certain circumstances. __ Building public facilities and improvements, such as streets, sidewalks, sewers, water systems, community and senior citizen centers and recreational facilities. __ Helping people prepare for and obtain employment through education and job training, welfare-to-work activities, and other services. __ Assisting for-profit businesses for special economic development activities. Such projects might include microenterprise loans to low-income entrepreneurs, assembling land to attract new industry, or business expansion loans to help retain existing businesses that employ low-income workers. __ Providing public services for youths, seniors, or the disabled, These might include day care centers, youth services and meals on wheels for the elderly, health care facilities, transportation, or counseling. __ Carrying out crime reduction initiatives such as establishing neighborhood watch programs, providing extra police patrols, rehabilitating or constructing police substations, and clearing abandoned buildings used for illegal activities. __ Assisting low-income homebuyers directly through, for example, downpayment assistance, subsidizing interest rates or helping with closing costs for first-time buyers, __ Enforcing local building codes to reverse housing deterioration and other signs of blight. http://www .hud.gov/progdesc/cdbgent.html 5/19/99 Progr...: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Communities Progra Page 3 of 4 -- Paying for planning and administrative expenses, such as costs related to developing a Consolidated Plan and managing CDBG funds.

Provides federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (BUD) to local units of government on a competitive basis for a variety of community development projects. Cities and townships with populations under 50,000 and counties with populations under 200,000..Indian tribal governments, which can receive funds directly from HUD, are ineligible for this program. Proposed projects must meet one of three national objectives: 1. Benefit to low-and-moderate income persons; 2. Elimination of slum and blight conditions; or 3. Elimination of an urgent threat to public health or safety. In addition, proposed project activities must be eligible for funding, project need must be documented, and the general public must be involved in the application preparation. State program rules subdivide grant funds into three general categories: 1. Housing Grants. Small Cities Development Program (SCDP) funds are granted to a local government which, in turn, loans funds for the purpose of rehabilitating local housing stock. Loans may be used for owner-occupied, rental, single-family or multiple family housing rehabilitation. Loan agreements may allow for deferred payments or immediate monthly http://www.dted.state.mn.us/commasst/smallcit.html ':t'" '!If ~lI!:lIJ_lm;i:",::;_:;:',/I:~ ~; 5/19/99 II' )I _ ~~:""" ~~..;::r:.:__~:=_ .~~c__,~:!:t'l~ !"r :: .~- 1I,::Jl.':E]Ii~:.;.1.4li...:.._-'!: ''lI Small Cities Development Program Page 2 of3 Maximum available: Other funds required: Terms: Applications accepted: Grant awards: Approving authority: Disbursement of funds: payments.

SCDP funds may also be used to assist new housing construction projects. Funds may also be used for land acquisition, site improvements, infrastructure or housing unit construction. In all cases, housing funds must benefit low-and-moderate income persons. 2. Public Facility Grants. SCDP funds are granted for wastewater treatment projects, including collection systems and treatment plants; fresh water projects, including wells, water towers, and distribution systems; storm sewer projects; flood control projects; and, occasionally, street projects. 3. Comprehensive Grants. Comprehensive projects frequently include housing and public facility activities described above. In addition, comprehensive projects may include an economic development activity, which consists ofloans from the grant recipient to businesses for building renovation/construction, purchase of equipment, or working capital. The most common economic development activity is rehabilitation of local commercial districts. The maximum grant award for a Public Facility or Housing project is $600,000. The maximum grant for a Comprehensive project is $1.4 million. The amount of other funds required is variable and contingent on the project type, other available sources of funds for the project, and the financial capacity ofthe applicant and local benefiting residents. The length of project period is normally between two and three years, depending on the size and scope of the project. Part 1 of the Business and Community Development application can be submitted year-round. Complete applications (including Part 2) must be submitted by October 1 of each year. The annual review and ranking period will commence on October 1. Grant awards will be announced each March. Department of Trade and Economic Development.

Minnesota Statutes 469.107 provides that a City may, at the request of the Authority, levy a tax in any year for the benefit of the Authority. The maximum amount levied may not exceed 0.01813 percent of the taxable market value of the City which, in Prior Lakes case, would yield approximately $142,000 based on current values. The money received from the levy may be used for general administrative and operating costs of the authority, including salaries, supplies, consultants and other operating expenses. The money cannot be used for property acquisition or relocation expenses. This issue is directly tied to the EDA's budget which is the next item on the agenda, The EDA will need to determine how you wish to allocate these funds and whether you believe a levy is necessary to accomplish next years activities. As noted in the Budget report, it is difficult to suggest a specific dollar amount due to the lack of experience with this kind of activity. Given the present tax climate, it may be appropriate to suggest a modest amount for the levy and, if justified, increase the amount in subsequent years. 1. Recommend that the City Council levy an amount of money to be determined by the EDA on behalf ofthe EDA. 2. Do not recommend the City Council levy on behalf ofthe EDA As deemed appropriate by the EDA Frank Boyles, City Manager L:\99FILES\99EDA\EDAAGEND\8C062199.00C 1 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

A city may, at the request of the authority, levy a tax in any year for the benefit of the authority. The tax must be not more than 0.01813 percent of taxable market value. The amount levied must be paid by the city treasurer to the treasurer of the authority, to be spent by the authority. Subd. 2. Reverse referendum. A city may increase its levy for economic development authority purposes under subdivision 1 in the following way. Its city council must first pass a resolution stating the proposed amount of levy increase. The city must then publish the resolution together with a notice of public hearing on the resolution for two successive weeks in its official newspaper or if none exists in a newspaper of general circulation in the city. The hearing must be held two to four weeks after the first publication. After the hearing, the city council may decide to take no action or may adopt a resolution authorizing the proposed increase or a lesser increase. A resolution authorizing an increase must be published in the city's official newspaper or if none exists in a newspaper of general circulation in the city. The resolution is not effective if a petition requesting a referendum on the resolution is filed with the city clerk within 30 days of publication of the resolution. The petition must be signed by voters equaling five percent of the votes cast in the city in the last general election. The election must be held at a general or special election. Notice of the election must be given in the manner required by law. The notice must state the purpose and amount of the levy.

The attached budget material is based on the current City budget for economic development. The personnel costs have been left in the City budget while the remaining operating costs have been included in the EDA budget. Obviously, the critical issue here is the amount of tax levy the EDA will recommend to the City Council if, indeed, ther EDA decides on that course of action. If the EDA does not recommend a levy, then the dollar amounts as shown can be be recommended to the Council as the EDA budget. The City budget would be reduced by the same amount.The proposed EDA budget suggests that the levy dollars be spent on activities which promote Prior Lake. Since we have very little track record in this regard, it is difficult to arrive at a suggested dollar amount for the levy 1. Approve budget as is without levy 2.

Any increase beyond that will come from any approved levy. It is suggested the additional money which would come from a levy could be applied in the area of promotion. This could take many forms, however, until the levy is approved, it does seem to be a wise use of time to develop ways to spend this money. If a levy ids approved, we would have several months in which to prepare a work program for the use of the additional funds. 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

In accordance with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), a wetland mitigation and sequencing plan is required prior to placement of fill in wetlands. This plan was prepared by Arlig Environmental and has been approved by the necessary agencies. A copy ofthe plan is included in this report. Discussion: The wetland alteration plan calls for 0.201 acres of fill to be placed in the Type 3 wetland on the site and 0.453 acres of wetland to be created on site. The plan also requires wetland vegetation (willows, red-ozier dogwoods and wetland grasses) to be planted in the created wetland areas and buffers. The Engineering Department has prepared construction specifications for the wetland fill and mitigation. The engineer's estimate for the project is $30,000. If the EDA decides to approve the plans and authorize the advertisement for bids, in accordance with the City's purchasing policy, sealed bids must be solicited in the Prior Lake American at least 10 days prior to the bid L:\99FILES\99EDA \EDAAGEND\EDA WCA.DOC 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

Box 1842, Minnetonka, Minnesota 55345-1842 Phone No: 612/974-9856 Wetland Alteration Permit Application Waterfront Passage Addition, Prior Lake, MN Proposed wetland fill within SW Y4 Section 1, T114N, R22W Proposed wetland mitigation within S Y2 Section 1, T114N, R22W The local governmental unit (LGU) is responsible for administering the WCA. The City of Prior Lake is the LGU for projects within the City limits. However, since this is a City project, the forms are also being submitted to reviewing agencies for comment. This application is presented on behalf of the City of Prior Lake. The City developed the business park known as Waterfront Passage Addition in 1993. The development involved construction of roads and installation of utilities including water and sewer. During the preliminary design stage of the project, the City of Prior Lake had the wetlands delineated. The field delineation was completed by the Scott Soil and Water Conservation District (Scott SWCD) personnel. The City has sold parcels to businesses based on the specific needs of the purchasers. Wetlands have been avoided throughout the development of the project. Now, there is only one lot remaining unsold. The lot is located on the south side of Cottonwood Lane west of Adelmann Street. There are no buildings on this property. The surrounding land is zoned and used for commercial industrial facilities. The lot has one wetland on the along the west edge of the lot. There is a drainage and utility easement around the entire basin. This wetland has a tailor narrow extension that protrudes into the lot. Several interested buyers have rejected the property due to the configuration of the wetland edge. The location and shape of that portion of the wetland prevents reasonable layouts for buildings with appropriate parking and vehicle circulation for the typical buyers of business park properties. Wetland delineation During preliminary design the City contracted with the Scott SWCD to delineate the wetlands on the entire Waterfront Passage Addition. The wetland on this parcel is designated a PEMCd on the NWI map. The soils in the vicinity are mapped as Glencoe on the SCS map. The existing wetland is a Type 4 basin with cattails as the dominant vegetation. The land surrounding the wetland has been graded almost to the edge of the wetland. This application is presented on behalf of the City. The City wants to prepare the site for use by appropriate interested buyers. The City plans to fill the protruding tail shaped portion of the wetland and create mitigation areas in two locations; one just north of the proposed fill area, and one at the edge of another wetland just north of Cottonwood Lane. Efforts made to avoid and/or minimize wetland impacts are discussed in Section 2 - Sequencing of this document. Construction of this project is scheduled to begin in early May 1999. The City developer requests comments from the regulatory agencies to fill and mitigate wetlands on the property as designated wetland replacement plan application Waterfront Passage Addition City of Prior Lake, April 1999 on the site plan submitted with this document. The 1996 amendment to the WCA allows up to 400 square feet offill in Type 4 wetlands without mitigation. The proposal includes 8,450 feet of fill more than the de minims. The proposed impacts are as follows: Fill in wetland areas Wetland Type 4 8,950 Sq. Ft de minimis (400 sq. ft.) TOTAL area to be mitigated area of impact 0.201 acres 0.009 acres 0.196 acres The proposed mitigation for this wetland impact.is as follows: Created wetland Area A on-site (6,589 Sq. Ft.) Created wetland Area Bon-site (6,584 Sq. Ft,) Created buffer Area Bon-site (8,750 Sq. Ft. @75%) 0.151 acres 0.151 acres 0,151 acres TOTAL mitigation area O. 453 acres The wetland is designated as PEMCd on the NWI indicating that it has been ditched or drained. In this case there are culverts that convey water into and out of the basin. The wetland vegetation is limited. The dominant plants are cattails. Filling the area at the southeast end of the wetland and excavating at the northeast end will likely result in the same characteristics for this basin. This submittal combines the discussion of functions of the affected wetland on the site and sequencing. ':. Section 1- WETLAND FUNCTIONS for determining Public Values A. WATERQUALITY After normal precipitation stormwater is conveyed through the sewer system into this basin, Water collects in the basin and than exits through an 8" culvert into the 30" storm sewer pipe along Cottonwood Lane. The proposed modification will have limited impact on water quality at . this basin once the construction is complete and vegetation at the wetland edge is established, The water traveling through the wetland is slowed down and slightly treated before it is conveyed off the site through the 8" pipe. This plan includes excavation at the northeast end of the wetland. The rate of discharge from the basin will remain the same since the outlet pipe size will not be changed, This area provides a pooling area and will continue to provide that function. The onsite detention provides some treatment to improve water quality, . The City of Prior Lake is committed to protecting the quality of water on the site and leaving the site as a result of this project both during and after completion of construction. When the site is developed, the contractor will be required to obtain an NPDES Construction permit. wetland replacement plan application 2 Waterfront Passage Addition City of Prior Lake, April 1999 ';,-.I..lii!!!"'t._~.,. ~i~ JE" v.'" ~~~.~~. ""',., - ~..:", ~ The proposed mitigation at the wetland basin on the north side of Cottonwood will include a vegetated buffer at the east edge of the wetland. Vegetated buffers usually provide some water quality improvement. B. FLOOD WATER AND STORM WATER RETENTION The existing wetland basin provides storage volume and rate control for stormwater leaving the site. The storage volume of the excavated area will be similar to the volume filled at the southeast end of the basin. The rate of discharge is determined by the outlet pie which will remain in place. Mitigation Area B including the vegetated buffer will provide additional volume for stormwater storage. C. PUBLIC RECREATION AND EDUCATION The wetlands on the site are not easily accessible and are not suitable for water-related recreation or for educational purposes. The proposed plan will not add these functions on the site. D. COMMERCIAL USES The wetlands are not, and will not, be used for commercial purposes such as growing or harvesting aquatic crops like wild rice and cranberries. E. FISH, WILDLIFE, AND NATIVE PLANT HABITATS The wetland basin is predominantly a cattail marsh. Red winged blackbirds seem to thrive in this environment. The excavated mitigation area will replace the habitat lost by the fill. Credit River Road is a recently resurfaced roadway with heavy traffic. Since the wetland to be filled and the replacement mitigation basins are in a business park and near a heavily traveled roadway, wildlife habitat is limited and will remain limited at this site. There will be more diversity in constructed mitigation area B because of the planned plantings of shrubs and forbs in the buffer. Some wildlife which inhabits the surrounding vicinity may frequent these basins now and after development. The site is and will remain suitable habitat for birds and small mammals. The development may impact the number and types of wildlife which chose to inhabit the area. The proposed plan attempts to maintain or enhance habitat. F. LOW FLOW AUGrv1ENTATION The water quantity flows from the area surrounding the site will remain unchanged by this project. G. OTHER PUBLIC VALVES No other public values have been identified for the impacted wetland on the site. Section 2 - SEQUENCING The 1996 amendment to the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (yICA) allows fill in wetlands only after alternatives have been considered. The WCA includes sequencing guidelines for evaluation of impacts to wetlands. The City has a plan that includes fill in one wetland and excav~tion to create new wetland area at the edge of two wetlands on the property. The plan weIland replacement plan application Waterfront Passage Addition City of Prior Lake, April 1999 3 submitted at this time is for development of the last lot in the Waterfront Passage Addition. The sequencing followed is discussed briefly below. A. AVOIDANCE As noted above, the wetlands were delineated early in the development process for the business park. The park has been developed with varying sizes and shapes to accommodate the new owners. Efforts have been made to avoid wetland impacts over the entire period of development. No wetlands have been filled during the course of this development. The one lot remaining unsold is in a good location and is an appropriate size for several perspective buyers. However, the shape of the wetland prevents reasonable access to the southeast end of the lot. The zoning in the area is for industrial/warehouse use. Typically, that type of business needs access for delivery trucks and suitable room for vehicles to maneuver and turn. Wetlands were avoided by breaking up the development into parcels according to need of each purchaser. No alternative has been found which allows development of this last lot and does not impact the wetlands. Impacts to the wetland are necessary for this use at this property. B. MINIMIZE Sketches were made to limit the amount of fill in the wetland and yet provide an appropriate shaped lot for industrial development. A portion of the proposed fill in this wetland is to provide slope stability at the edge of the fill and the existing wetland (1,800 square feet is the sloping embankment). The proposed mitigation includes excavation to create new wetland area just north of the area to be filled. The mitigation area will replace all but 0.05 acres of the are lost due to fill. In addition, . the City proposes to create wetland at the edge of the basin north of Cottonwood. The City also proposes to provide a designated buffer at the east side of the e':(tended wetland Area B. This proposal minimizes the impacts to wetlands in the Waterfront Passage Addition. After the replacement is addressed the remaining property is needed for a future owner to properly and safely use the property within this business park development. C. REDUCE/ELIMINATE IMPACTS OVER TIME The plans and specifications require the contractor to use appropriate erosion control measures to prevent sedimentation and degradation to the wetland and the judicial ditch. Those measures are included in the plans and permit applications submitted for approval. The City plans to conduct their construction activities in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and county requirements for water resource protection. Once the contractor constructs the replacement wetland (including vegetative cover) areas and the site grading is completed, there should be no further adverse impacts to wetlands on the site. No additional fill in the wetlands is anticipated within this development. A replacement plan for the wetlands is discussed D. MITIGATION The City is providing on-site, in-kind replacement for the impacted wetland plus additional wetland replacement and a buffer zone. wetland replacement plan application Waterfront Passage Addition City of Prior Lake, April 1999 4 i~~ ."

Section 3 - CONSTRUCTION FILL and EXCAVATION in WETLANDS The grading plan for this project includes partly filling the Type 4 wetland on the site. The plan also includes excavation at the edge of the same wetland basin to create Type 4 wetland. The area to be filled is shown on the attached drawings in Area A. The contractor is to identify the area to be filled. Then, he is to remove the top 12" of soil (Glencoe, according to the SCS map) and stockpile that wetland soil in an uphill area beyond the area of designated grading. The contractor will then excavate the zone designated for mitigation in Areas A and B. He will extend his excavation to elevations approximately 4" below final contours. He will place the stockpiled soil over the mitigation area; Wetland in Area A, Wetland in Area B, and buffer in Area B. Small shrubs will be planted in clumps (3-7 plants in each clump of bare root shrub willows and red-osiers designated on the drawing) in selected locations along the sloped edge of the excavation. The shrubs will tolerate the anticipated bounce and provide shade to help inhibit growth of reed canary grass in this vicinity. The excavated areas will be graded as shown on the plans and seeded with a wet meadow seed (MN DOT 25A or approved equal) mixture. Section 4 - MONITORING The wetland rules require that the property owner monitor the establishment of a created wetland for five years or until a technical evaluation panel (TEP) determines that the wetland is functioning as intended. The City will monitor the created wetlands in Areas A and Band document the condition of them. An As-Built drawing will be prepared after the site grading, planting, and seeding is complete. Elevations of the water will be recorded three times annually; once in spring, sumer, and fall. Dominant vegetation will be documented. If wetland vegetation has not appeared by the second monitoring visit (mid summer 2000), the area shall be tilled and re-seeded with approved seed mixture. Section 5 - CONCLUSION The City of Prior Lake has developed the Waterfront Passage Addition with no previous wetland fill. Once this wetland fill and mitigation is completed, no new wetland impacts are anticipated in this development. The City is requesting the de minimis exemption for filling 400 square feet of the Type 4 wetland on the site. This exemption is included in the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) as modified in 1996. The City plans to provide mitigation for the wetland impact with on-site excavation to create wetlands adjacent to existing basins. wetland replacement plan application Waterfront Passage Addition City of Prior Lake, April 1999 5 . , ~ "-.. ~~ ~~ ........ , \ W A TERFR01\;T PASSAGE ADDITION PRIOR LAKE AREA A 10 20 30 40 I Excavate 6,599 square ~..t CO.151 Grade to 4" below ~ina1 contours creating mitigation wetland IV FD'r Spread stockpiled aoil over IIli tigation ~ Seed edge wi th MIl/DOT 25 A or approved fO~D , , '\ , , , , , , , \ \ \ I ~.. ,,'- ~, "'" ----- "- -- " -- -- ",," --- " ~, ... ..' ..c..~~<: ~~~'" ~rv- ~ "'" - 01 ~ .......

At the last meeting, it was decided that the President would meet with staff to discuss the Goals and Objectives in an attempt to streamline them and develop something which accurately reflected the wishes of Authority members. Staff met with President Bareness and reviewed the Goals and Objectives at length. One of the conclusions reached was that some of the objectives are more long range in nature and, while it is important to keep them in mind, they may not necessarily be appropriate in a statement of annual objectives.The attached copy of the Goals and Objectives shows some of the suggested modifications. As the EDA reviews this document, bear in mind that staff resources are limited. We would ask that priorities be established for these activities so staff is in a better position to know where our efforts should be concentrated. We believe it would be more productive to focus on one or two major activities which have a good probability of showing results, rather than spread our efforts over many different activities.
