EDA Minutes (Regular) July 26,2010 Page 2 11. Net Sheet The EDA was provided with a net sheet for the sale of 305 3rd Street. Member May recalled the EDA wanted the buyers to pay for the Environmental Evaluation and Site Survey. City Planner Smick explained the realtors negotiated a higher sale price of$123,000 to cover the cost of the studies. b) Strategic Planning Update 1. Commercial & Industrial Permitting Process Staff proposes a 30 working day turnaround for commercial / industrial development. This can be done in two scenarios. This process would work with construction on platted and zoned lots and for building expansions. The developer must have everything ready when they come in. The site plan, CUP or variance can be done simultaneously at one meeting with the Planning Commission. Staff representing building inspections, engineering, planning, economic development, natural resources, historic preservation (if required), and licensing are present at a pre-application meeting. A packet will be given to the developer showing what they need to submit and when. Once the information is submitted, the 30-day process begins. There would be a 3-6 month process for unplatted lots, AUAR requirements, environmental studies, etc. In Vermillion River Crossings, the area on the east side of Dushane is ready, the area to the west of Dushane needs a fmal plat. Chair Fogarty was very pleased with this process. She suggested adding a checkbox to direct people to other agencies if needed. Staff will also be developing a checklist for the site plan and CUP. ii. Downtown Wayfinding Signs and Grant Opportunities During the First Impressions survey, planners had suggested adding wayfinding signs. City Planner Smick suggested this is where we can start with our branding and getting signage and colors that are consistent. This could be done for the downtown and other commercial areas. Dakota County offers funding through their Active Living program for wayfmding signs. This will not occur until next year and signs would need to be installed by June 30, 2011. There is also a Safe Route to Schools grant program available in 2011. Staff will be working with the school district to obtain some grants as there is an opportunity for a trail along Flagstaff to the new high school. Staff asked the EDA if they would like to meet with the Chamber, Farmington Downtown Business Association and other groups to discuss branding. EDA members agreed with this. EDA Minutes (Regular) July 26,2010 Page 3 iii. Flower Boxes Staff is proposing flower planters rather than hanging baskets downtown due to easier maintenance. Planters run $800 - $1,000 each. The hanging baskets and the time to water them costs $2,000 - $3,500. Businesses could adopt a planter and take care of the maintenance. IV. Trout Fishing Web site Links A page has been added to the City's website on trout fishing including a map showing public access to the Vermillion River. Chair Fogarty asked that the website for Trout Unlimited have a link to our website. 8. NEW BUSINESS a) Vinge Tile Vinge Tile is located in the industrial park on the corner of Eaton Avenue and CSAH 50. Mr. Vinge has an opportunity to bring in a NAP A retaiVwarehouse type use. Retail is not an allowed use in the industrial park zoning district. NAP A would be located in the center of the building and utilize the dock door in back. There would be 70% warehouse in the back, and 30% retail in the front. A text amendment to the zoning ordinance would be required as this would be a policy change. Traffic would increase because of the retail, but staff would propose 30% retail so they would not have too much space. Chair Fogarty asked what the difference is between the showroom that is in the industrial park now where people can purchase things and this proposal. City Planner Smick explained the retail public does not come into a showroom to purchase an item and walk out with it. Typically a builder would go to a showroom. Staff wanted to make sure the EDA would agree to a retaiVwarehouse business. Mr. Vinge also has the opportunity to add 10,000 sq. ft. onto his building for an e- discount bike shop. There would be 75% warehousing in the back and 25% retail in front. Most of their business would be done on-line so distribution would be from the warehouse in the back, but they would have retail with selling bike apparel, bike gear, and bikes. Chair Fogarty was comfortable with this type of text amendment. Lakeville has some interesting ways they use their industrial park. They have a party place in their industrial park and also an athletic training facility and a medical facility. She felt the EDA needed to discuss going further with the retaiVwarehouse. She was comfortable with the language and felt those businesses are appropriate in an industrial park. Member Larson also agreed with these ideas and felt we should not close ourselves into a box. Staff has informed them of other available areas in town, but NAP A would like to move into an existing building. Councilmember Wilson felt it would be a good idea for the Planning Commission to review the entire policy to blend retail and certain industrial uses together. EDA Minutes (Regular) July 26, 2010 Page 4 b) Old Rambling River Center Building Update Staffhas been leaving messages for Mr. Otten almost daily and has not received a response. Staff will review the situation for a time line. 9.

PUBLIC HEARINGS a) Approve Lease Agreement and Purchase Agreement 305 3rd Street The EDA previously authorized staff to sell the former liquor store building at 305 3rd Street. A Purchase Agreement has been prepared to sell the building to Elevation Nine Eighteen for $123,000. It is payable by $5,000 earnest money and the remaining balance shall be paid to the City on or before August 30,2010. During the period of August 2 - 30,2010, Elevation Nine Eighteen will lease the property for $1,146.75 per month. This will allow them to occupy the building sooner than the closing date. Member Wilson confirmed there are no contingencies to finalize the agreement. Staff confirmed this. MOTION by Larson, second by Wilson to close the public hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

CONTINUED BUSINESS 8. NEW BUSINESS 9. CITY STAFF REPORTS Member May noted she has contacted City Planner Smick regarding the status of the old Rambling River Center building. Staff is checking if there is a timeline for the potential buyer, if we need to set one or put it back on the market. Mr. Otten has indicated he would like 30 days for some cleanup on his current property so he can use the proceeds EDA Minutes (Special) August 2,2010 Page 2 from the sale of that building to purchase the Rambling River Center building. He is still very interested in purchasing the property. Member May stated if that is the case, he put in an offer with some contingencies the EDA was not aware of. Staff noted he is working with the MPCA on some environmental issues and will follow-up further with Mr. Otten. 10.

City of Farmington 430 Third Street Farmington, Minnesota 651.280.6800 . Fax 651.280.6899 www.ci.farmington.mn.us TO: Planning Commission FROM: Tony Wippler, Assistant City Planner SUBJECT: Ordinance amending Sections 10-2-1 (Definitions) and 10-5-21 (Industrial Park District) defining Warehouse Retail and conditionally allowing Warehouse Retail in the IP Zone, respectively DATE: August 24, 2010 INTRODUCTION / DISCUSSION The City has been approached by Mr. Doug Vinge, owner of Vinge Tile and Stone, about the possibility of leasing space to NAPA Auto Parts for a distribution warehouse and retail center within his building located at 21205 Eaton Avenue. The property is zoned IP, which allows for warehouse facilities as a permitted use. However, the retail component is not allowed per the current IP Zoning standards. Staff is not comfortable with outright allowing retail within the City's Industrial Park, however, if it comprises a small part of a larger operation (like a warehouse distribution center as with NAPA) that would be reasonable. The City's zoning code currently does not provide a use that adequately represents the duel purpose use previously described. Therefore, staff is proposing adding a definition for Warehouse Retail. The proposed defmition is as follows: WAREHOUSE RETAIL: A facility used for the conduct of a business that involves the storage and distribution of goods or merchandise from the premises that also contains a retail component that comprises less than thirty (30%) percent of the total floor area occupied. No outdoor display or storage is allowed with this use. As you can see from the definition, staff is proposing to limit the retail component of the use to less than 30% of the floor area that the entire use occupies. Additionally, no outdoor display or storage will be allowed with this use, as stated in the proposed defmition. Lastly, staffis proposing to allow Warehouse Retail as a conditional use within the IP Zoning District. This will allow for, among other things, additional review by the Planning Commission to ensure the 30% retail rule is met. ACTION REOUESTED Recommend approval of the attached ordinance amending sections 10-2-1 and 10-5-21 defining Warehouse Retail and conditionally allowing Warehouse Retail in the IP Zone, and forward that recommendation on to the City Council.

Dr. Dungy is proposing a 3,000 square foot building that will allow for the increase of his current office space from 3 chairs to 6 chairs. The attached site plan shows the placement of the new building at the north side of the McVicker Lot. The proposal allows for the staircase attached to Gossip's to remain and proposes that a pedestrian walkway be constructed between the new building and the Farmington Steakhouse, thereby, preserving the existing mural and providing access from the City parking lot and 3rd Street. The plan also shows 4 parking spaces on the east side of the building, 2 of those being handicap spaces. The rear door of the building is for handicap accessibility and staff access only. Further research by staff will be performed concerning the building materials proposed for construction. At present, fiber cement lap siding is proposed along with brick veneer and cast stone quoins. If all requirements for submittal are met, this proposal will provide the City with its first development review process on the 30-calendar day timeline. Staff will work with the potential owner to ensure that this timeline is met including the processing of the site plan and building permit.

Resources Available to Support Economic Development These are in no particular order, except business development should be the first priority. Members agreed with these six areas. Business DeveloDment Staff proposed the business retention/expansion program be the number one priority. The businesses are the most important ambassadors to the community. Staff is doing a business outreach program where staff visits the business, asks if there is anything they need, any issues, and that the City is here to support them. We have to maintain what we have and also look for something new. Member Wilson was under the impression we are currently doing a business outreach program. He asked what will be different about the focus going forward. City Planner Smick stated business retention programs invite citizens to go along with business visits, invite Councilmembers, Planning Commission members, and track any red flags. Also included could be EGC members and Farmington Downtown Business members. City Planner Smick also suggested measuring the success of this and make certain we are filling the need of listening to what the existing businesses are dealing with. Member Larson asked about measuring the success. City Planner Smick explained this would be done by responding to their needs and there are certain things that can be done to make certain the current business community continues to be the ambassadors for the community. Economic Development Specialist Hansmeier explained the difference between what is currently happening and the proposed Business Retention Program, the program has a survey where the businesses are asked the same questions. There is a database that can be used for tracking. It is a more in depth survey. City Planner Smick would like to have a collaboration with the Rotary, EGC, and any other groups. ~ ,~ EDA Strategic Planning Minutes May 24,2010 Page 2 Member Fogarty asked how many business visits are done. Economic Development Specialist Hansmeier replied this year there have been ten. The most that has been done is 70 in a year. Member Fogarty suggested having a Councilmember going along on the visits to make an impact on the businesses. Each Councilmember could go on two or three visits a year. Member May liked the concept, but we are not here to market their business. The survey would keep an ear out there for the expansion piece. We need to make sure economic development is our focus. City Planner Smick explained the survey does focus on economic development and whether the business will be expanding, and what we can do to help them. Staff also suggested a small business mentoring program where the current business owners work with new or smaller business owners. The program would help the existing businesses understand how to make a new business feel comfortable in the community. Member Fogarty felt the EGC would playa better role in that. Member May stated we would not mentor; we would bring the businesses together. Staff would also like to work on the 3/50 project. City Planner Smick suggested starting the Farmington 18t program again. It would be good to have a booth at Dew Days. Member Wilson suggested having a night during the week where businesses are open later. City Planner Smick felt as we get closer to opening the DMV office, we should talk to the businesses about what an asset this will be to bring people downtown. As far as business recruitment, staff listed numerous items that are in place for downtown, industrial, and commercial development. Staff also outlined a business recruitment strategy and components that should be in place at the time of recruitment. Providing incentives for start-up businesses and a grant program for existing businesses are options. We need to make these programs known. A seminar could be held for the business community on what they can do to attract businesses - a Business Owner's Forum. The DCR does a training the 4th Thursday of every month. This could be mentioned during the business visits. City Planner Smick likes the First Impressions Program which brings in people that have never visited the community, such as City Planners from other communities and get their impressions of housing, schools, areas City staff may not think of. (Member May left at 7:30 p.m.) Members really liked this idea. City Administrator Herlofsky noted bringing people downtown is a great idea, but if they do not fmd anything, they will not come back. Rather than us telling the businesses, they need to hear it from someone else. Staff would like to do this during the summer. Member Fogarty asked about marketing materials. Staff explained as people ask for information, staff would have something prepared to give them. Regarding attracting nationally known businesses, Member Wilson suggested using our time to target the right type of business. Members discussed whether we are the right type of community for some of the larger businesses. The senior housing to be built in 2011, may attract more business. A hotel would be a real need for the community. Staff could contact Comfort Inn again and inform them of the senior housing that is coming. '1".. d , /r}/// City of Farmington 430 Third Street Farmington, Minnesota 651.280.6800 . Fax 651.280.6899 www.cLfarmington.mn.us TO: EDA Members FROM: Lee Smick, City Planner AICP, CNU SUBJECT: Minnesota Main Street Program DATE: August 23, 2010 INTRODUCTION/DISCUSSION Staff recently attended the Minnesota Main Street Program Basic Training Seminar on August 16th and 17th in Red Wing, Minnesota. Staff will offer a report on the seminar at the meeting and some information is included below as well: The Main Street Four-Point Aooroach@ As a unique economic development tool, the Main Street Four-Point Approach@ is the foundation for local initiatives to revitalize their districts by leveraging local assets-from cultural or architectural heritage to local enterprises and community pride. The four points of the Main Street approach work together to build a sustainable and compl~te community revitalization effort. Organization involves getting everyone working toward the same goal and assembling the appropriate human and financial resources to implement a Main Street revitalization program. A governing board and standing committees make up the fundamental organizational structure of the volunteer-driven program. Volunteers are coordinated and supported by a paid program director as well. This structure not only divides the workload and clearly delineates responsibilities, but also builds consensus and cooperation among the various stakeholders. Promotion sells a positive image of the commercial district and encourages consumers and investors to live, work, shop, play and invest in the Main Street district. By marketing a district's unique characteristics to residents, investors, business owners, and visitors, an effective promotional strategy forges a positive image through advertising, retail promotional activity, special events, and marketing campaigns carried out by local volunteers. These activities improve consumer and investor confidence in the district and encourage commercial activity and investment in the area. Design means getting Main Street into top physical shape. Capitalizing on its best assets - such as historic buildings and pedestrian-oriented streets - is just part of the story. An inviting atmosphere, created through attractive window displays, parking areas, building improvements, street furniture, signs, sidewalks, street lights, and landscaping, conveys a positive visual message about the commercial district and what it has to offer. Design activities also include instilling good maintenance practices in the commercial district, enhancing the physical appearance of the commercial district by rehabilitating historic buildings, encouraging appropriate new construction, developing sensitive design management systems, and long-term planning. Economic Restructuring strengthens a community's existing economic assets while expanding and diversifying its economic base. The Main Street program helps sharpen the competitiveness of existing business owners and recruits compatible new businesses and new economic uses to build a commercial district that responds to today's consumers' needs. Converting unused or underused commercial space into economically productive property also helps boost the profitability of the district. Coincidentally, the four points of the Main Street approach correspond with the four forces of real estate value, which are social, political, physical, and economic. Designated Main Street Programs These local commercial district revitalization programs use the National Main Street Center's Four-Point Approach, have broad community support, paid staff, and meet (or will soon meet) other standards. Designated Main Street Programs receive several benefits from their annual membership including complimentary training admissions and funding for on-site technical assistance. Applications for 2011 available soon. Brainerd, MN Faribault, MN Red Wing, MN Willmar, MN Associate Members Any community or downtown revitalization program may become an associate member of Minnesota Main Street by submitting a registration form and annual dues.
