CITIZEN COMMENTS/PRESENTATIONS a) Lee Smick Introduction - First Impressions Tour Survey Results City Planner Smick conducted a tour of Farmington with City Planners from other cities including Apple Valley, Golden Valley, Burnsville, South St. Paul, and Patrick Boylan from the Met Council. The purpose of the tour was to evaluate the success of current developments and to set goals and priorities for new developments, ways to strengthen community services, and identify initiatives to generate framework for the Economic Development Strategic Plan. The EDA was given a survey completed by those on the tour. The comments showed Farmington has a lot of strengths and a good base to build upon through existing neighborhoods, the pattern of development in the north for residential and the historic homes in the south, and more opportunities for apartment complexes. They also commented on doing some rural historic preservation with the farms. The group was very impressed with the new high school, the City Hall, and the quality of housing. They noted the quality of the parks, cleanliness of the City, and good roads and trails. The Planners suggested: - Wayfinding signage for downtown and other retail areas - Promote the Vermillion River, parks, trails and small town feel - Promote the maintenance of housing through code requirements, volunteer opportunities or rental house licensing - Promote more variety in restaurants and retail shops - Promote the construction of new apartments EDA Minutes (Regular) June 28, 20 I 0 Page 2 - Work with townships to clean up borders - Create more opportunities for young adults (night life) and seniors - Continue to maintain the downtown as a destination - Capitalize on the "surprise" factor of the high quality of life found in Farmington - Maintain historic buildings and housing Mr. Patrick Boylan, Met Council, discussed the need to clean up the borders with the townships. It was very clear which properties were in Farmington and which were in the township. As far as housing, he noted the historic homes in the downtown are phenomenal and was also impressed with the proximity of housing to the parks. He was concerned with whether there were enough choices for housing for the young professionals. Member Larson noted the survey comments mention the commercial is getting too far away from the downtown. Mr. Boylan felt the neighborhood businesses fit the needs of the neighborhood, but any focusing of commercial efforts along the major county roads, especially TH3 will be crucial to economic synergy. As far as smaller retail shops, the City should try to keep people downtown with the great old brick buildings. Member Wilson felt Apple Valley and Lakeville have Farmington beat with places for the young adults. The survey comments seemed to show surprises with the quality of the housing. City Planner Smick noted three of the Planners had not been here before. For them to notice the high quality of housing is something we should look at as a brand. Member Wilson stated this survey is a gem and gives us a lot of information. Member Larson asked about the opportunities with fishing in the Vermillion River. Mr. Boylan stated promoting the fishing could be promoted in a flyer about Farmington. We could advertise public property available for fishing. Member Wilson suggested we need to be aware of our best opportunities that others don't know about. Member May stated their surprise at the quality of housing jumped out at her and she felt we need to capitalize on that. Member Wilson noted the survey showed a missing component is a trail along Flagstaff and is something for staff and the school district to look at in the future. City Planner Smick stated staff will review how the survey fits into the strategic plan. Member Wilson stated this survey is in the top three of high quality projects the Planning staff has taken on that has had no impact on the budget. This is the type of creativity he appreciates from staff. He suggested staff organize the comments and bring those Planners back for a follow-up. Member May challenged staff to pick out one of the items in the survey and do it within the next month. EDA Minutes (Regular) June 28, 2010 Page 3 5. CONSENT AGENDA MOTION by Larson, second by Donnelly to approve the Consent Agenda as follows: a) Meeting Minutes: May 24,2010 i. Regular meeting ii. Strategic Planning Workshop Bills 5/24/10 - 6/27/10 Member Wilson asked about the chico bags for $456. Those are for the Farmer's Market. Member Wilson asked about the payment to KDV for $4,000 and if that is the final bill. Staff will research this. Member Larson asked if a different description could be used rather than "other." c) May Financial Report APIF, MOTION CARRIED. b) 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS 7. CONTINUED BUSINESS a) Exchange Bank Settlement Agreement This item was approved at the June 21, 2010, City Council meeting and also needs EDA approval. MOTION by Larson, second by May to approve the Settlement Agreement for the Exchange Bank building. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. b) Update 305 3rd Street (Former Liquor Store building) i. Letter of Intent The Warner's have an interest in purchasing the building at 305 3rd Street. The offer is contingent on final approval by the Small Business Administration. The SBA will require a phase I environmental study and a site survey prior to approval. Member Larson asked if the study and the survey will be negotiated. Staff explained it can be negotiated for the buyer to pay for these. Member Larson noted we put on a new roof for $7900 and the offer is for $116,000. He felt the buyer should pay for the studies. Member Wilson asked if this was a fair price and if we have an appraisal. Staff explained we do not have an appraisal. The realtor provided a list price. It was listed for $129,000. Member May asked if staff would counteroffer for the price or just the details. Staff replied it could be both. If they are requiring a report, we can add that to the cost we are willing to accept. If there is an inspection and necessary repairs, that would have to be discussed. Any final contract would be brought back to the EDA. The realtor felt it was a strong offer. The Letter of Intent indicates the Warner's would like to close within 45 days from execution of a purchase agreement. The name of the business is Recipe for Design. They offer services EDA Minutes (Regular) June 28, 20 I 0 Page 4 to help design a room, selling sculptures, etc. This would meet the category of a small retail business and filling a storefront. Member Wilson felt it was a good offer. It is $13,000 less than we were asking and felt it would not be unreasonable to ask why this price. It gives them $110,000 of available borrowing potential. Member May asked that the realtor provide the EDA with a net sheet. Member Wilson asked how much money we have put into the building excluding the roof. Staff will provide that information. Member Donnelly asked about the proceeds of the sale. They would go to the EDA. Member Wilson noted if we need to call a special EDA meeting to accommodate them we can do so. ii. Use Agreement The Use Agreement is between Anchor Bank and the EDA. Anchor Bank has become the official owner of the Expressive Embroidery equipment which is still in the old liquor store building. Anchor Bank needs some time to find new owners for the equipment and would like to leave it in the old liquor store building. The term of the agreement would be 30 days from June 18,2010; they would pay $1,146.75 which is equivalent to the rent the EDA was collecting; the EDA would provide the bank with a key so they would have 24 hour access to the building. The bank will work with an online auctioneer, but would need to show the equipment. The bank will provide notice to staff when they enter the building. There is a clause for the bank to fix any damage and they have to provide liability insurance. They will also be responsible for the utilities during that 30 days. Staff requested authorization to enter into the Use Agreement. MOTION by Larson, second by Donnelly to approve the Use Agreement. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 8. NEW BUSINESS a) Commercial & Industrial Permitting Process Update Staffhas been developing a permitting process checklist to determine if a 30-day process is possible for permits. Staff provided four scenarios. Once the information has been submitted, the start date needs to be determined for the 30- day process; these are working days, not calendar days; the developer needs to submit all information and not require any revisions. The scenarios that work the best for the 30-day process are the platted and zoned vacant lots and an expansion project. Unplatted vacant land and a redevelopment project would take 3-6 months. Member Wilson asked if someone comes in with an interest in developing, are they able to leave with enough information to get started. City Planner Smick stated that information can be provided bye-mail, but within that 30-day process she would like to have all of the required staff people meet with the developer at the same time so all of the information is provided. EDA Minutes (Regular) June 28, 2010 Page 5 Member May asked if the client has a more detailed checklist. Staff stated they will expand on the checklist within the next month for the developer. There is a flow chart for developments and the same thing will be done for commercial and industrial. Member Wilson asked that staff expand on the checklists and bring it back to the next EDA meeting. 9. CITY STAFF REPORTS a) Economic Update, Volume 34 This was distributed in the newspapers last week. Member Wilson liked the new look of The Bridge and how it ties in with the website. b) Major Economic Development Activities - June An update on activities with local businesses was provided. Member Wilson asked about the first day for the Farmer's Market. City Administrator Herlofsky stated it was steady and comparable to last year. It started earlier this year. The Farmington Downtown Business Association will be holding a Downtown Day on July 17. Member Larson asked when the Flavors of Farmington will be rescheduled. Liquor Operations is working on getting the distributors together again. Staff will advise when a date is set. Member May has been receiving comments about the lack of flowers downtown. City Administrator Herlofsky stated the issue with hanging the flowers is it requires equipment to water them. He has suggested large pots of flowers and have them maintained by the business owners. Last year in the budget, the number of part-time seasonal employees was cut, so we do not have the staff to maintain them. Member May suggested the City buy the pots and flowers and the businesses maintain them. She asked staff bring this to the next FDBA meeting. The EDA recessed at 8: 19 p.m. for the closed session. 10. CLOSED SESSION a) Appraisal: 317-323 3rd Street (McVicker Lot) 11. ADJOURN The EDA went back into regular session to adjourn. MOTION by Larson, second by Donnelly to adjourn at 8:27 p.m. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

Fax 651.280.6899 www.ci.farmington.mn.us TO: Economic Development Authority FROM: Lee Smick, City Planner AICP, CNU SUBJECT: Commercial & Industrial Permitting Process Update DATE: July 26,2010 INTRODUCTION The EDA has requested that staff develop a permitting process that will provide a 30-day turnaround for commercial and industrial developments. The 30-day timeframe is described in working days, not calendar days. DISCUSSION The 30-working day calendar may include the following scenario for the submittal of a site plan. If the applicant submits the plan on July 28th after a meeting with City Staff, and all items are included in the submittal, then the plan would be reviewed by the Planning Commission on September 7th, completing the 30- working day cycle. At the June 28, 2010 EDA meeting, staff discussed that only two development scenarios could fall under the 30- working day time limit. The two scenarios consist of when a property is constructed on a platted and zoned vacant lot or a property is being expanded. The sketch and site plan, conditional use, or variance for these projects may all be reviewed simultaneously by the Planning Commission within a 30-working day timeframe. Engineering and building permit reviews would also meet this timeframe if all of the information has been submitted by the developer and no revisions are required. Other scenarios with longer timeframes include unplatted vacant lots or redevelopment projects. These types of projects would require 3 to 6 months to complete due to the need for additional information such as an AUAR, hazardous material abatement, or land reclamation. An example of the unplatted vacant lot is the Vermillion River Crossings project that required an AUAR because of the proximity of the trout stream and the size of the proj ect. Staff wants to emphasize that there are a number of different scenarios for processing approvals to new, redeveloped, or expanded commercial and industrial properties. Additionally, the proposed time frames for review of a project is dependent upon the developer submitting all the necessary information required on the checklist and no revisions are required before the 30-working day time frame begins. The timeframe is also dependent upon when the submittal is made during the month as to when a public hearing is set. ACTION REQUESTED Staff would like the EDA to review the attached development and expansion review process flow chart and offer comments concerning the process. Re&espe~~ ' ..,,~4> "1. .

The wayfmding signs were suggested during the First Impressions Survey from the Planners answering the survey. The signs would provide directions to the downtown for walkers, bikers, and autos traveling in the City. This would be an excellent opportunity for the City to create its brand and incorporate it into the wayfmding signs. Dakota County has stated that mini-grants may be available in the Fall of 2010 with installation being completed by June 30, 2011. Additionally, staff is preparing project ideas for the upcoming Safe Routes to Schools grant program that will be available in early to mid 2011. Staff will be working with the School District concerning trails to Farmington High School. Staff will also research opportunities for grants from the MnDNR for trail installation.

Meeting Schedule About two weeks ago I sent a survey to you to gather input about the ALOC meeting times, format, etc. The feedback led us to adjust the meeting schedule to every other month. This means that instead of an August meeting, our next meeting will be on September 8th, and the meeting will run from 2:30 to 4:30. We will still meet in Room 1920 at the Western Service Center in Apple Valley. I've attached a new meeting calendar with the dates for the meeting through next Spring. HKGi Grant Writing Services We have extended our contract with HKGi for grant writing services through June 30, 2011. We are hopeful that there will be more opportunities to use their services and secure additional construction funding for our active living projects. At last week's ALOC meeting we discussed the funding opportunity through MnOOT's Safe Routes to Schools grant program that is anticipated to occur in early to mid 2011. Rita prepared the attached overview of the grant program. We will be reviewing with Rita the Safe Routes to School Plans recently completed to identify potential fits with the Safe Routes to Schools grant. If you have any other projects you think should be considered please let me know. We also had a general discussion about grant opportunities. Rita noted that the MnONR grants should be available again in 2011. We have not yet heard a response on the ones submitted in March. The follow up on those grants will be very helpful in identifying appropriate fits for grants submitted in 2011. Rita also noted that there have been other, smaller grant opportunities, such as the Bikes Belong Coalition, that could still be considered. As we consider submitting grant applications it is important to note that our current list of potential projects was originally compiled in late 2009. We would like to see the list of potential projects broaden to e,nsure we don't miss any opportunities. To assist with that effort, Rita has suggested that it may be helpful for her to meet with Staff from each community (Planning, Engineering, Parks & Rec) to understand the community's long-range vision and list of potential projects. Communities that are interested should contact Rita directly at 612-252-7135 or rita@hkgi.com by August 31st. While individual projects will still need to be submitted for formal review prior to any grants written, providing any overview of potential projects would be very helpful for Rita in the identification of appropriate 7/21/2010 Page 2 of2 grant opportunities and projects. If you have any questions about this information, please let me know.

If I miss something please feel free to add for those who were there. ~na presented a sketch of an idea for flowers to grace the downtown ~~~ This has been a source of concern for the past two years. f:-1any would like to see the flower baskets returned. The problem for the city is not the cost of the baskets but the associated costs with summer help who must maintain the baskets. In addition, it was mentioned that maybe something could be designed for the north end as well. I think we need to put together a task force to work with the city and see what we can figure out. 2. During the past couple of months I have been visiting with some the skater dudes downtown and learning about why they like downtown so well. First, because people are there and second, because there isn't a skate park for them to use. Yes, there is one at the middle school but the equipment is unsafe and the kids don't want to use for that reason. I am amazed at the kids because they want someplace to use and they want to be involved in putting it together; even to the point of wanting to make the equipment rather than buying everything. Brian Lindquist, chief of police, attended one of the Event Committee meetings to discuss Dew Days and for whatever reason this issue came up. He expressed his interested in wanting to do something.
