RE:
Redevelopment Strategy For Priordalc Mall And Adjacent Property
Over the past year, the CitylEDA have been approached by three different commercial
developers each proposing to redevelop the Priordale Mall and adjacent properties into a neighborhood
commercial/retail area. Each of the plans have projected 90,000 - lSO.OOOSF of retail facilities anchored
by a grocery store, with complimentary uses such as a drug store, liquor store. restaurants and auto
related businesses. The developers have proposed these uses because the demographics and market
opportunities within and around Prior Lake are favorable for such development.
Reactions from the City Council and EDA to the proposed development plans have been
unenthusiastic. Several Council and EDA members have expressed a desire to see development of
facilities that would be unique to the community (e.g. cinema theaters. bookstores, etc.) The 1997 EDA
Work Program Objectives includes development of a plan to capitalize on traffic generated by the
Mystic Lake Casino and the Wilds. Perhaps the Priordale Mall and adjacent property could
acc:.ommodate various entertainment/recreational uses that would complement the Casino and Wilds.
The primary problem with promoting alternative uses for the Priordale Mall site is that
developers have only exhibited interest in the neighborhood retail concept. In order to explore
alternative uses and generate community reaction to the neighborhood retail concept it is proposed that
the EDA host a community planninwstrategy workshop. The purpose of the meeting would be to
generate ideas for alternative redevelopment uses on the site and determine if there is public support for
the neighborhood retail concept.
The process for organizing and conducting the workshop and follow-up activities may be as
follows:
. Select a meeting date and publicize, encouraging attendance by residents and business owners.
. Conduct the meeting utilizing nominal group techniques to ensure opportunities for input
from all attendees.
. Results of the discussions and identified redevelopment uses will be catalogued, documented
and included in a report to the EDA.

P.03
. If the EDA believes that the ideas embodied in the report have merit and potential to be
implemented, they may commission further research such as site plans. artist rendering and configuration
of estimated budgets for a Redevelopment Concept Plan.
. Upon completion of a Redevelopment Concept Plan, the EDA should proceed to market the
strategy to developers in the hopes of attracting a qualified party to jointly reinvest and redevelop the
Priordale Mall area.
. In the event that the proposed planning workshop docs not yield ideas worthy of pursuit and
additional research activities. the BOA may conclude that the neighborhood retail concept is a preferred
alternative worthy of enthusiastic public support.
Please a:>mmunicate your reactions to these suggestions at your earliest convenience. Thank
you!
