CONSENT AGENDA: None
PRESENTATIONS:
Scott Rice Telephone - High-Speed Data Transmission.
JADER: Provided the background with respect to the Megabit Committee's research into getting high-
speed data transmission capabilities in Prior Lake. Also introduced Paavo Pyykkonen, General
Manager of Scott-Rice Telephone.
PVVKKONEN: Discussed the changes underway within Scott-Rice Telephone Company and that part of
the reasons for the changes is so that Scott-Rice Telephone can serve the need for a
telecommunications infrastructure in Prior Lake. Discussed partnering with the City to provide the
necessary infrastructure. Described the structure of the infrastructure and how it could be implemented
through telecommunications and data applications.
Scott County HRA Resources to Assist Prior Lake.
President BARSNESS introduced Bill Jaffa, Executive Director of the HRA, and Gene White, Prior Lake
HRA Commissioner.
J.AE.EA: Discussed the recently updated County-wide Rental Housing Study which provides a projection
for the rental housing needs for the County in light of recent development. The document aids the HRA
in determining the degree in which partnerships with local governments are necessary. The Study
found that the demand for rental housing currently exceeds that available. Reviewed recent projects
that the HRA has participated in including River City Centre in Shakopee, Savage Mixed Used
Development, and a 50-Unit Scattered Site Multi-Family project. Further discussed the partnership
structure/framework between the HRA and local governments.

Meeting Minutes
April 19, 1999
WHITE: Added that redevelopment is part of the HRA's charge, and that the HRA has been very
innovative and successful at public-private partnerships.
GUENNETTE: Commented that the HRA's efforts are impressive, but each of the projects included from
the City/County some form of cash contribution or general obligation pledge or debt service collateral
enhancement. For the City to be able to move forward on the Downtown Redevelopment, the EDA
needs to have Council support for that financial assistance.
SCHENCK: Asked about the upcoming meeting with the City Manager and Planning Director.
JAFFA: Stated that they will discuss the disposition of the property currently owned by the HRA,
together with the joint powers agreement.
KEDROWSKI: Suggested staff take the tour of the Shakopee facility.
BOYLES: Advised Jaffa and White that the date for the next Downtown Redevelopment workshop is
Thursday, May 13th @ 7pm at the High School Cafeteria and encouraged them to attend.
PUBLIC HEARINGS: None.
OLD BUSINESS:
Consider Agenda for Joint EDA, City Council and Planning Commission Meeting.
BOYLES discussed the potential dates for the meeting and asked for any additional recommendations
as to the agenda.
KEDROWSKI: Suggested adding as a specific agenda item the discussion of the commitment of dollars.
GUENNETTE: Added that philosophically there needs to be a consensus between the various bodies in
order to proceed with any project.
Consider Approval of Report on Downtown Walk Meeting.
BYE: Provided an overview of the walk through the Downtown area to provide the consultant with a
physical feel for the area, and one of the greatest benefits was that the people who attended could
provide much of the history of the area with respect to land use and why certain decisions had been
made.
NEW BUSINESS:
Consider Approval of Report of TH13 Intersections.
BOYLES introduced Greg IIkka, Public Works Director, and advised the EDA of the intent of the report.

Meeting Minutes
Apri/19, 1999
KEDROWSKI: Suggested that, in the interest of time, the EDA schedule a special meeting at which to
address this issue and develop a recommendation for Council consideration.
MOTION BY KEDROWSKI, SECOND BY UNDERFERTH TO TABLE THIS ITEM TO A SPECIAL
MEETING.
VOTE: Ayes by Barsness, Kedrowski, Jader, Underferth and Schenck, the motion carried.
Consider Status Report on 4.5 Acres Business Park Parcel and Authorize the Expenditure for a
Survey of this Parcel.
BOYLES reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report and the action requested. The
direction to the staff had been to take the steps necessary to make this a turnkey property. The costs
associated include soil correction and wetland mitigation. Since this involves significant dollar amounts,
the issue becomes whether we should set this aside to give the staff the opportunity to further
determine the potential implications for development of the parcel.
BARSNESS: Asked if the EDA hadn't previously looked at much lower estimate.
BYE: Stated that the previous estimate was for wetland mitigation only which was much lower. Since
that time, staff received the soil report which calls for additional corrections.
GUENNETTE: Added that this is a preliminary number because actual costs can't be de'termined until a
site plan is completed by whomever is serious about the parcel and soil borings are taken from the site -
where the building will be placed. Recommended surveying the parcel at this point and aggressively
market the property with the intent of selling for around $1.50 per foot and crediting back the costs for
soil correction.
KEDROWSKI: Asked about potentially making a cul-de-sac and splitting the property.
GUENNETTE: It would cost us about a half-acre of land for right-of-way, plus the costs of the road and
utilities.
.BYE: Added that the soil conditions on that site are not uniform. There may be more or less costs for
soil correction depending on the location of the proposed building.
MOTION BY KEDROWSKI, SECOND BY SCHENCK TO DIRECT STAFF TO OBTAIN A SURVEY IN
AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $2000.
SCHENCK: Asked if it is appropriate to also do the wetland mitigation at the same time.
GUENNETTE: Recommended that because it is budgeted, it would be appropriate.
BOYLES: Stated that the staff has already been directed to proceed with the wetland mitigation. Unless
otherwise directed, we will continue to take those steps. The intent of this item was to discuss the
additional costs so the EDA would be aware of th magnitude of the investment needed to develop this
property .
VOTE: Ayes by Barsness, Kedrowski, Jader, Underferth and Schenck, the motion carried.

4:00 p.m.
Fire Station City Council Chambers
Call to Order and Pledge of Allegiance. Those present were Commissioners Kedrowski, Schenck,
Underferth and Jader, Public Works Director IIkka, Planning Coordinator Kansier and Recording
Secretary Meyer.
NEW BUSINESS:
Consider Approval of Report on Major TH13 Intersections: (1) CSAH 42 Frontage Roads, (2)
Commerce Avenue/Boudin St., (3) 150th Street, (4) CSAH 23, and (5) Other.
BOYLES: Reviewed the history with respect to this Agenda Item and the intent of the meeting. The EDA
should make a recommendation to the City Council as to priority of the TH13 intersection
improvements as the Council addresses funding within the context of the Capital Improvement
Program, which identifies the projects the City wishes to engage in within the next five years. -
1J.KKA: Discussed each of the major intersections with respect to safety concerns, funding, timing
issues and the specific options for realignment of each and how those realignments impact the City,
MNDOT, and current and future residents of Prior Lake.
BOYLES: Asked if the crash rate statistics could intiate any action by local agencies.
.lLKKA: Indicated that the responsibility for intiating action typically falls on the City, and that the
statistics act as an indicator.
SCHENCK: Asked if the statistics are more specific as to the intersections themselves or the regular
roadway.
lLKKA: Indicated that to his knowledge the information is not available.
At the conclusion of the presentation, the Commissioners discussed the advantages and
disadvantages of each of the alignments from an economic development and cost perspective. The
Commissioners voiced concerns about the impact the various alignments would have on current and
future property owners, funding the projects, timing, facilitating traffic movement to benefit commercial
properties, and the crash statistics presented.
The EDA further discussed recommending implementation of a long-term strategy for partnership with
the HRA to acquire the properties necessary for the CSAH 42 frontage roads as they come available.

DONALD RYE, PLANNING DIRECTOR
CONSIDER RESULTS OF MEETING WITH SCOTT COUNTY
HRA STAFF AND COMMISSIONER
DISCUSSION:
At the April 19 EDA meeting, Commissioners heard a presentation
from Bill Jaffa, Executive Director ofthe Scott County HRA and Gene
White, Scott County HRA Commissioner and the City's representative
on the HRA. MR. Jaffa and Mr. White discussed some of the findings
of the County Rental Housing Study and also indicated they would be
meeting with City staff to further discuss issues of mutual interest. On
April 21, Frank Boyles ad Don Rye met with Mr. Jaffa and Mr. White
and discussed several matters.
The first item was to discuss in more detail the County Rental Study
which was recently completed. Rather than try to summarize the
report, we have included the summary of findings and the conclusions
and recommendations from the study.
The second item of discussion was the River Center project and the
financing which was utilized to make the project happen. This
discussion led to a general discussion of the various ways in which the
HRA funds its various activities including a tax levy, bonds, loans and
grants.
Finally, we discussed a proposed Joint Powers Agreement suggested
by the HRA as a means of developing projects. A copy of the
Agreement is attached for your review. Staff believes there are 5
alternatives which the EDA could consider relative to this proposed
agreement.They are as follows:
1. Take no action on the agreement.
2. Develop specific agreements on a project-specific basis.
3. Enter into the agreement as proposed.
4. Enter into the agreement with modifications deemed appropriate.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Demographic Review
. Since households are occupied housing units, household growth is the best indicator of
housing demand. According to the Metropolitan Council, Scott County added nearly 6,300
households between 1990 and 1997, surpassing its gains for the entire 1980s (5,866
households). Meanwhile, the County is expected to see increases of roughly another 2,880
households between 1997 and 2000.
. Growth in Scott County will continue to accelerate over the next two decades with increases
of 12,370 households between 2000 and 2010; and 13,170 households between 2010 and
2020. This rate of growth is three times that of the metro area as a whole, between 1990 and
2020.
. The accelerated growth forecast for Scott County over the next two decades is the result of
improved access provided by the new Bloomington Ferry Bridge/Highway 169 Bypass,
coupled with adjacent communities, particularly West Bloomington and Bumsville,
becoming fully-developed.
. During the 1990s, 75 percent of the household growth in Scott County occurred in its three
larger suburban communities - Savage, Shakopee and Prior Lake. Based on Metropolitan
Council's projections, the three suburban communities are expected to account for roughly
85 percent ofthe County's household growth over the next two decades.
. New Prague, Belle Plaine, and Jordan also experienced relatively significant gains in house-
holds with increases of between roughly 20 and 30 percent projected for the 1990s. Growth
in the rural portion of the county has also been strong during the 1990s, resulting from
leapfrog development. Overall, the number of households in rural Scott County is expected
to increase by about one-third during the 1990s.
. The Metropolitan Council's projections shows household growth accelerating in the
freestanding communities within Scott County over the next two decades while growth in
rural Scott County will taper-off. The deceleration of growth in rural Scott County is based
on the belief that managed growth will be enforced in rural Scott County, however, we
believe that these figures are likely conservative and that this area will experience greater
growth than is projected
. Thus far during the 1990's, every age group posted gains. Children (persons 17 and under
age group experienced by far the greatest numerical increases, with an increase of just over
5,000 persons or 60.2 percent. The next two largest gains occurred among the 35 to 44 age
group, (3,800 persons) and the 45 to 54 age group (2,150 persons), both representing baby
boomers.
. . Scott County's senior population (persons age 65 and older) also experienced significant
growth thus far during the 1990s, with an increase of nearly 1,670 persons (an average of
210 per year). The senior population growth is expected to accelerate over the next five
years with the projected addition of 1,475 persons (an average of295 per year).

SUMMAR Y OF FINDINGS
. As with the age of the population, types of households also affect the types of housing
needed. In Scott County, the largest household type categories in 1990 were married couples
with children (41 % of all households) and married couples without children (29% of all
households). The number of households in every household type category experienced
substantial gains in Scott County during the 1980s. Married couples without children,
however, experienced by far the largest numerical increase, with a gain of over 2,200
households (66%).
. The proportion of all households that rent their housing declined from 19.5 percent in 1980 to
18.1 percent in 1990, due to the substantial increase in owner-occupied housing units.
Renter households comprised only 15 percent of the County's household growth during the
1980s.
. In 1990, the proportion of renter households in the cities of Scott County ranged from 8.0
percent (Elko) to 29.3 percent (Shakopee). Most of the county's householders age 15 to 24
rented their housing (64.2 percent in 1990), while the vast majority (between 65.8 and 90.9
percent) of households in the remaining age cohorts owned their housing.
. Scott County's seniors tend toward renting their housing as they age: 16.5 percent of the
householders age 65 to 74 and 34.2 percent of the householders age 75 and over rented their
housing in 1990. On the other hand, the 25 to 34 age group comprised by far the largest
number of renter households, accounting for 36.2 percent of all renters.
. The median household income in Scott County is expected to increase from just under
$55,000 in 1998 to just over 564,000 in 2003. The number of households with incomes of
$50,000 or more will increase by 25 percent between 1998 and 2003, while the households
with incomes below $50,000 will increase by only 16 percent. The substantial increases in
income are due to large numbers of baby boomers aging their peak earning years.
. According to Metropolitan Council estimates, Scott County will have added about 10,950
jobs during the 1990s. As with employment growth throughout the metro area, employment
growth in Scott County is expected to taper-off slightly between 2000and 2010, with a
projected increase of9,360 jobs. Job growth is expected to slow considerably in both Scott
County and the metro area between 2010 and 2020.
Rental Market Review
. Limited rental housing construction during the 1 990s has driven vacancy rates in the Twin
Cities to an all-time low. Rental vacancy rates metro-wide were 1.1 percent as of 3rd Quarter
1998.
. 380 rental units were built in Scott County between 1990 and December 1998. In addition,
we identified 20 rental units that were lost to fire or converted to ownership housing resulting
in a net increase of about 360 units. Meanwhile, the County has seen an increase of about
7,200 households. Thus, rental housing has accounted for only about 5 percent of the
County's household growth between 1990 and 1998.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
. Of the roughly 380 units built in the County during the 1990s, about 10 percent were
subsidized, 40 percent were market rate and one-half were affordable units,
. The rental market in Scott County is also very tight. A survey oflarger rental projects
throughout the County, revealed a vacancy rate of 1.0, excluding, River City Apartments
which was still in its initial lease-up period at the time of the survey.
. The following tables summarize vacancy information for both the general occupancy and
senior rental projects surveyed.

. Belle Plaine Apartments is a 25-unit building with a maximum of 21 units receiving HUD Section 8 subsidies;
the remaing units fall under MHFA's tax-credit program. Thus, the minimum number of tax credit units is four,
but could be more.

. The general occupancy projects surveyed had 1,806 units and an overall vacancy rate of 1.1
percent. Market rate and tax-credit projects both reported vacancy rates of 1.0 percent while
subsidized projects had a vacancy rate of 1.9 percent.
. There are currently 10 senior rental projects with 484 units in Scott County. A survey of
these projects revealed 11 vacant units, a vacancy rate of 2.3 percent. However, eight of
these vacancies occurred at River City Apartments, Excluding River City, the vacancy rate
was 0.7 percent. Subsidized senior projects had a vacancy rate of 0.3 percent while the
market rate projects had a vacancy rate of2.3 percent, excluding River City.

. Demand for rental housing in Scott County was estimated at 1,110 units between 1998 and
2003. General occupancy demand was estimated at 750 units and demand for senior rental
housing was estimated at 360 units.
. Our demand methodology accounted for household growth (nearly 900 units), replacement
need (100 units), pent-up demand (roughly 60 units) and a vacancy rate of 5.0 percent (50
units) to allow for consumer choice and unit turnover.
. Based on the projected change in income distribution of Scott County residents in 1998 and
2003; we believe that about 45 percent of the general occupancy demand (340 units) will be
for market rate projects, 40 percent of demand (310 units) will be for moderate rent units, and
15 percent (110 units) will be for subsidized units.
. There is a need for additional general occupancy housing throughout Scott County. The
majority of the demand for market rate general occupancy rental housing is in the suburban
portion of the county, however, a small market rate project could also be supported in the
Belle Plaine-lordan area. We feel that some moderate-rent general occupancy housing could

be supported in each of the larger cities in Scott County. We also recommend additional
subsidized general occupancy housing in Shakopee, Prior Lake, Savage, and New Prague.
. There are currently a large number of general occupancy rental projects either under
construction and in various planning stages for Scott County, they include:

. There are 152 units of market rate general occupancy housing currently under construction
and an additional 198 to 200 units of market rate housing planned for development over the
next few years. If all of the planned projects are built as planned, the remaining demand for
market rate general occupancy housing through 2003 will likely be satisfied.
. 32 units of affordable general occupancy housing are currently under construction; an
additional 178 units are planned, resulting in excess demand for 86 units through 2003.
. Six subsidized (MHOP) units are currently under construction and additional 62 units are
planned, resulting in excess demand for 42 units through 2003.
. Based on review of incomes of senior households in 1998 and 2003, we believe that there is
an unmet need for an additional 55 senior subsidized units through 2003. The remaining
demand, roughly 305 units, will be for market rate senior housing. However, some of these
households will need affordable market rate housing options such as those offered at River
City Apartments.
. Based on the age of the senior base and the supply of market rate senior housing already in
Scott County, both independent senior housing and housing with services (congregate and/or
assisted living) will be needed. About 35 percent of the market rate demand (about 105
units) will be for service-intensive housing and the remaining demand (200 units) will be for
independent senior housing.
. Currently there are a number of senior projects either under construction or planned for
construction over the next few years, they include:

. The two subsidized project either under construction or planned by the Belle Plaine Lutheran
homes, if built, will likely satisfy the majority of the county's demand for subsidized senior
housing over the next five years.
. Between the two affordable market rate projects in planned by the Scott County HRA (River
City and the planned Savage project) and the planned congregate/optional services project by
the Belle Plaine Lutheran Home a large portion of the demand for independent senior
housing will be satisfied. However, demand still exists for additional 82 units of independent
senior housing in the County through 2003.
. The two assisted living projects planned by the Belle Plaine Lutheran Home and Benedictine
Health Services will satisfy S9 of the 105 units of demand for service-intensive housing in
the County. Yet, excess demand still exists for another 46 units of this type of housing.
However, the development of two assisted living facilities in communities as close as 10rdan
and Belle Plaine could create a saturation of assisted living housing in the Belle Plaine-
10rdan market area in the short-term which could lead to extended absorption periods and
excess vacanCIes.
. A summary of the distribution of rental demand as well as recommendations for rental
development in each community is discussed in the Conclusions and Recommendations
section of the report.
. It is important to note that the recommendations presented are to be used only as a guideline
for development and should demand be unmet in anyone community it is possible that
neighboring communities may be able to capture a portion of the stated demand.
Furthermore, demand for rental housing is allocated only to incorporated municipalities
because they have the necessary infrastructure in place for such high-density development.
That is noUo say that demand for rental housing does not exist in the rural portions of the
county, but that much lower-density would need to be developed because of the lack of
infrastructure.

CONCLUSIONS AJ.'ID RECOM.Y1ENDA nONS
These projects have been very successful and a concept similar to this would do very well in
Scott County. The recommended unit mix, sizes, and the rent structure are presented in Table
3S. A ceiling or market rent could also be applied to these projects with rents similar to those
suggested for the adult/few services projects presented earlier in this section.

RENTAL HOUSfNG MARKET REVIEW
Valley and Countryview Apartments have outdoor swimming pools. The remaining three
projects have limited building amenities.
Tax-Credit Proiects
~ Currently, there is only one affordable general occupancy rental project in Savage, the
recently completed 48-unit Evergreen Pointe Townhomes. The project received funding
through Minnesota Housing Finance Agency's (MHF A) Section 42 Low Income Tax Credit
program and the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority's Metropolitan Opportunities
Housing Program (MHOP). Five of the units have been designated as MHOP units and are
owned by the Scott County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA). Four of the five
MHOP units are reserved for families displaced by the demolition of Minneapolis Public
Housing units and the other unit is reserved for the Scott County Public Housing program.
The tax credit portion of the building includes 16 two-bedroom units and 32 three-bedroom
units. The two-bedroom units have monthly rents of $590, while the three-bedroom units rent
for $679 per month. The units feature private entrances, one and one-half bathrooms,
dishwashers, disposals, central air conditioning, and washer and dryer hook-ups. In addition,
a detached garage is included in the rent.
Subsidized
~ The five MHOP units of Evergreen Pointe consist of three, three-bedroom units and a
(hearing-impaired compliant) four-bedroom unit. All MHOP units have rents based on 30
percent of the household's adjusted gross income.
~ The only other rental housing project in Savage with a deep subsidy is a 12-unit public
housing project owned by the Scott County HRA. The project, which was built in 1980,
consists of two-story, three-bedroom townhome-style units with private entrances and
detached garages. Rents are based on 30.0 percent of the household's adjusted gross income
(AGI). All of the units were occupied and the vast majority of the residents are families.
Prior Lake
Twelve general occupancy projects were surveyed in Prior Lake. These projects are summarized
on Table 16. The 12 projects have 368 units and an overall vacancy rate of 1.4 percent.
Market Rate
~ Nine of the 12 general occupancy projects surveyed in Prior Lake were market rate projects.
Combined, they have a total of 280 units.
~ There were four units vacant among these projects at the time of the survey, a vacancy rate of
1.4 percent; this compares with a vacancy rate of 2.4 percent in the 1995 study. One project
surveyed in the 1995 study was lost to fire and not included in this survey.

RENTAL HOUSING MARKET REVIEW
~ There are three market rate projects of 40 or more units in Prior Lake, Tower Hill East (68
units) and Tower Hill West (51 units) and Priorwood (48 units). In addition, there are three
other projects of between 24 and 36 units. The remaining three projects surveyed consist of a
7- and two 8-unit projects.
~ Five of the projects surveyed (with a total of 155 units) were built during the 1980's, two
projects (with a total of 59 units) were built during the 1970's, and two projects (with a total
of66 units) were built during the 1960's.
~ Of the 280 market rate units surveyed, six were efficiency units, 98 had one bedroom (35%
of all units), eight had one bedroom plus a den, 123 had two bedrooms (about 44% of all
units), and 45 units (16%) had either two bedrooms plus a den/loft, or three bedrooms.
~ Monthly rents for one-bedroom units in Prior Lake ranged from $475 to $600 and averaged
$525 per month. Two-bedroom units ranged from $525 to $725 per month and averaged
$625 per month. Four projects had either two bedrooms plus a den, two bedrooms plus a
10ft, or three bedrooms. Rents for these units ranged from $575 to $920 per month and
averaged roughly $745 per month. All of the efficiency units identified in the survey were
located at one project, as were the eight one-bedroom plus den units. The efficiencies had
rents of $41 0 per month, while the one-bedroom plus den units rented for between $560 and
5655 per month with an average of$630 per month.
~ Most of the projects surveyed in Prior Lake saw only modest rents increases over the last
three years, approximately 5 percent. However, rents increased more significantly at Tower
Hill East and particularly at the Hearthwood Apartments. At Tower Hill East rents increased
between 7 and 14 percent depending on the unit, while rents at Hearthwood increased by 22
to 28 percent.
~ The amount and type of amenities found in rental projects in Prior Lake varied greatly from
one project to another. Every project surveyed in Prior Lake includes air conditioned units
and all but two projects have garages available. While most of the projects have detached
garages, both Towering Hill East and West has underground heated parking and Towering
Woods Condominiums has attached garages. About half of the projects have dishwashers in
their units. All of the projects, with the exception of Towering Woods Condominiums and
some of the units at Priorwood (which have in-unit washer and dryers), have coin-operated
laundry facilities. Unique features included wood-burning fireplaces in the units at
Hearthwood Apartments and vaulted ceilings at Priorwood Apartments. Towering Hill East
includes the largest number of recreational amenities (outdoor swimming pool, whirlpool,
sauna, and tanning beds). Tower Hill West is the only project that has tennis courts. A
portion of the two-bedroom units and all of the two-bedroom plus 10ft units at Priorwood
have one and three-quarters bathrooms, and some of the larger units at Tower Hill East and
Tower Hill West have two full bathrooms.

RENT AL HOUSING MARKET REVIEW
Tax-Credit
· There is only one tax-credit project in Prior Lake, the 48-unit Kestrel Village Apartments.
The project consists of32 two-bedroom units with rents of$680 per month and 16 three-
bedroom units with rents of$720 per month. The project is limited to households with
incomes of 60% or less of the County median. The units include wall-unit air conditioners,
dishwashers, mini and vertical blinds, and either balconies or patios. Each building has a
security entrance and a common coin-operated laundry. In addition, there is a tot lot and 30
detached garages are available for $40 per month. As of November 1998, all of the units
were occupied. There is a diverse mix of residents and a significant number of them receive
Section 8 rental assistance.
Subsidized
· There are two subsidized general occupancy projects with a total of 40 units in Prior Lake;
One unit was vacant at the time of the survey, a vacancy rate of2.5 percent. The largest
subsidized project is Highwood Homes, a 36-unit townhome project built in 1980. The
project consists of24 two-bedroom units, 10 three-bedroom units, and two four-bedroom
units. Rents are based on 30% of the tenant's AGI up to the market rent of $619 for the two-
bedroom units, $663 per month for the three bedroom units, and $707 for the four-bedroom
units. The two-story units have private entrances, basements, air conditioning sleeves, and
laundry hook-ups. The average rent paid by the tenants is $250 per month although one
tenant pays the market rent.
· The other subsidized general occupancy project in Prior Lake is Franklin Trail, a four-plex
owned by the Scott County HRA. This project is subsidized through HUD's Public Housing
program and tenants pay 30% of their AGI for rent. All four units have three bedrooms and
detached garages.
Jordan
Data on the six largest general occupancy rental projects in 10rdan appears in Table 17. The
projects have a total of69 units, all but two of which were occupied for a vacancy rate of2.9
percent. Of the six general occupancy projects in Jordan, four are market rate and two are
subsidized. Like Belle Plaine, all of the rental units in Jordan are in smaller projects, the largest
being 24 units. 10rdan has more subsidized than market rate general occupancy units.
Market Rate
· Only four market rate projects were identified in 10rdan, one small 3-unit project that was
identified in the 1995 study has since been converted to ownership housing. The four market
rate projects have 31 units, the smallest number of the six larger cities in the County. All of
the units were occupied at the time of the survey.

CONSIDER 2000-2004 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM
DONALD RYE, PLANNING DIRECTOR
MAY 17, 1999
AGENDA ITEM:
SUBJECT:
INTRODUCTION:
Each year, the City of Prior Lake adopts a Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) detailing projects and the
potential funding sources for the next 5 years. The CIP is
reviewed by the various City boards and commissions for
consistency with the City's adopted plans and goals. The
City Council then makes the final decisions on the CIP.
DISCUSSION:
The summary describes the CIP process and the funding
sources available to the City and expected to be used in
paying for the individual projects. As in past years, the
primary constraint is the availability of money. In
previous years, the City share of County road projects
took the lions share of City capital improvement funds.
The proposed CIP still has a heavy emphasis on roads and
streets, but the focus during the next 5 years is on
Highway 13 intersection improvements and local street
reconstruction. During the first two years of this program,
these street projects are estimated to cost $4,935,000 out
of a total capital budget of $6,609,000.
The EDA's function is to review the proposed projects,
determine whether they make sense from the perspective
of economic development goals and objectives. The EDA
may also make specific recommendations about specific
projects in the CIP or about projects not in the current CIP
which the EDA feels would better achieve the economic
development goals. The EDA does not need to feel
constrained to restrict its consideration only to those
projects contained in the propose CIP.
Any recommendation for changes to the CIP should

indicate which particular goal or policy is being advanced
by the recommended project. The thing to keep in mind is
that all projects are competing for a limited amount of
money and the CIP is limited to those projects with the
highest priority. Please give this your careful
consideration.
The EDA should review and discuss the attached CIP,
particularly as it relates to EDA projects and activities.
Motion and second to recommend changes to the draft CIP
as the EDA determines.

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL FOR BUSINESS
VISITS BY EDA MEMBERS
DISCUSSION:
History In April, the EDA adopted modifications to the 1999 goals.
One of these goals related to business retention efforts and one of the
specific actions was to arrange for two EDA members to interview all
Business Park businesses and other large businesses in the City for
retention purposes.
Discussion Staff has identified 19 businesses which meet the criteria.
In addition to the 13 businesses in the Business Park, other large
employers include Norex, County Market, Prior Lake State Bank,
Marquette Bank, US Bank and Edina Realty. It was suggested that two
EDA members interview each business. If this were done, each team
would have 9 or 10 interviews to conduct. If individual EDA members
were to conduct the interviews, each member would no more than four
interviews. The EDA may wish to consider this alternative. The EDA
should also review the businesses which have been identified and
determine whether the list should be expanded, reduced or left as is.
Once the EDA has determined which businesses they wish to approach
and whether one person or two will conduct the interview, staff can
determine when members are available for the interview and schedule
the interview with the businesses.
ACTION REQUIRED: Provide direction to staff as to which businesses to interview and
whether one member or two will conduct the interview and direct staff
to set up the interview schedule.

AUTHORIZING EXPENDITURE OF EDA FUNDS
JANE KANSIER, PLANNING COORDINATOR

PRESENTER:
DATE:
INTRODUCTION:
With the preparation of the Downtown Redevelopment
Plan, the EDA will be asked to authorize the expenditure
of ED A funds. It has come to our attention that there is no
procedure in place for this authorization.
DISCUSSION:
It is important that the EDA maintain a public record of
expenditure authorizations. We would therefore suggest
the following procedure.
Invoices for payment will be submitted to the staff. At its
regular meeting, the EDA will be asked to review and
approve a list ofthe submitted invoices. Following this
approval, the City Finance Director will issue a check in
payment of the invoice to the appropriate party. A list of
the accounts payable will then be attached to the minutes
of the EDA meeting and approved at the next meeting.
ACTION REQIDRED:
Motion and second to adopt the above described
procedure for the authorization of payment by the EDA.
