a. Downtown Area -- Me Vicker Lot
.
At its May meeting, the EDA agreed to enter into a 60-day Letter of Understanding with Mr. Joe Heinen
regarding the McVicker lot. Shortly thereafter, City staff faxed and/or e-mailed the Letter of
Understanding to Mr. Heinen. He signed it and e-mailed back to us a .pdfversion of the document (a
copy is included in your packet). I've asked him to send us the signed original, or to bring it to the EDA
meeting on June 26, so that the EDA's Chair and Executive Director can sign it.
The EDA's attorney and Mr. Heinen's attorney are in the process ofreviewing and discussing the
previously prepared draft of a Contract for Private Development between the EDA and Mr. Heinen. I do
not anticipate that all of those details will be resolved by Monday night, but I intend to provide you with
a progress report at that time.
After last month's EDA meeting, I relayed to Mr. Heinen the EDA's comments regarding the
combination of architectural details that they would prefer to see. Mr. Heinen took those
recommendations under advisement, and asked his architect to make some modifications to the elevation
drawings that you saw last month. Although the revised drawings were not available for the EDA
packet, I believe that Mr. Heinen intends to bring them to Monday night's EDA meeting if they have
been completed by then.
The McVicker lot is located directly across the street from a building (the State Bank Building) that is a
designated Farmington heritage landmark. Staff members intend to determine whether that fact will
require the developer to get the HPC's consent to the proposed exterior design. We suspect that it will
not, but this topic will be discussed at the upcoming HPC meeting on Tuesday, June 27,2006.
.
r
b. Industrial Park - R & L Trucking
The City's Building Official met with the contractor on June 21 to discuss some newly proposed
modifications of the original plans for the building. For budgetary reasons, R & L apparently intends t.
reduce the initial size of the truck terminal from 98,975 square feet to 69,967 square feet, which reduces
the number of loading dock doors from 156 to 107 doors (50 on each side and 7 on the end). There will
be some proportionate downsizing of the maintenance building, the office space and the number of
parking stalls. The revised plans for the truck terminal building identify the "now-unused" portion of the
original building footprint as future expansion space. Future parking expansion areas will also be
identified. It is anticipated that the staff review of the revised plans will be completed during July so that
construction can begin in July or August.
c. Downtown Area - Exchange Bank Building and Larson Building
(1) First Amendment to Contract for Private Sale. The EDA approved the proposed First
Amendment at its meeting in May. Staff subsequently notified the Browns of the EDA's approval and
requested that a representative of their corporate entity sign and return the document. A copy of the
signed document was faxed to City Hall on June 15 (see attachment). That fax was preceded (on the
same day) by a faxed letter from Mr. Brown (also attached) explaining some of the circumstances
surrounding various aspects of the renovation project. (Incidentally, Mr. Brown told me on June 22 that
he would be putting the signed original First Amendment document in the mail that day.)
(2) Submission of Building Permit Apolication. Exhibit C of the First Amendment to Contract for
Private Sale [hereinafter ''the schedule"] required that construction plans and a building permit
application be submitted by May 17, 2006 for the fire escape and the Oak Street stahway remodeling. .
The construction plans were submitted on May 16. As of the May 22 EDA meeting, the permit
application had not yet been submitted. Shortly after the May 22 EDA meeting, the Browns finalized the
selection process for their general contractor, and a building permit application was subsequently
submitted on May 31,2006.
(3) Construction of Fire Escaoe and Oak Street Stairway. The schedule required that the
construction of the new fire escape and the new Oak Street entry/stairway "commence...by June 14,
2006 or within 14 days of final approval of the construction plans, whichever is later." The construction
plans have not yet been approved, due to the need to first obtain a Certificate of Appropriateness from
the City's Heritage Preservation Commission [HPC]. See attached Memo from HPC consultant Robert
Vogel dated June 12,2006. The Minnesota Historical Society [MHS] has also commented on the
renovation plans; see attached letter dated June 20, 2006. The HPC members will consider and discuss
all of these issues at their meeting on June 27,2006. It is my understanding that the Browns intend to
attend the HPC meeting. I spoke with the Browns' architect (Mr. Quinn Hutson) on June 22 regarding
the June 20 letter from the MRS. He and I believe that MHS staff may have made some incorrect
assumptions about certain aspects of the renovation (i.e., whether or not the plaster will be removed
from the walls). There also seems to be an unresolved issue regarding the extent to which the HPC
and/or the MHS can regulate interior renovations that do not affect the historic exterior of the building.
As soon as these issues are resolved, City staff members can proceed with the finalization of their plan
review and issue the building permit. The Browns will then have 14 days to commence construction,
pursuant to the terms of the schedule.
(4) Sprinkler SyStem Plans. With regard to the sprinkler system, the schedule required that the.
.
.
.
Browns submit"... complete construction plans and building permit application (if required) by June 14,
2006." Although evidence suggests that work on the plans is in progress, the plans and the permit
application have not yet been submitted to the City. I advised the Browns to provide the EDA with a
written explanation of any relevant circumstances regarding the status of the sprinkler system work.
Your packet includes a letter from Mr. Brown dated June 22, 2006 and a Memo from architect Quinn
Hutson dated June 22, 2006, both of which were faxed to City Hall on June 22. The Browns, their
architect and their general contractor have all indicated to us that the construction plans and permit
application will be delivered to City Hall on Monday, June 26. At Monday night's meeting, we will let
you know whether that occurred. If it did/does, the schedule specifies that the construction of the
sprinkler system should commence "...by July 19, 2006 or within 14 days of final approval of
construction plans, whichever is later."
(5) Electrical system. With regard to the electrical system upgrade, the schedule requires that the
Browns submit"... complete construction plans and building permit application (if required) by July 14,
2006." This deadline will occur before the July EDA meeting. City staff will strongly and repeatedly
encourage the Browns, their architect, their general contractor and their electrical contractor to meet this
contractual deadline.
d. Downtown Area - Riste Building
At last month's meeting, EDA members seemed to be generally in support ofthe idea of City staff
members renewing discussions with Xcel Energy regarding the possible acquisition of the Xcel building
located on the west side of the Riste building. I've initiated contact with an Xcel representative
regarding this subject, and I'll provide you with a progress report at Monday night's meeting.
e.
Industrial Park - JIT Powdercoating
Work is well underway regarding the expansion of Mr. Milner's business. I have attached an e-mail
from him dated June 14,2006 that provides more information regarding the status of his project.
f. Downtown Area - Vacant Lot at lh Street and Main Street
On Friday, April 28, 2006, Tina Schwanz, Mr. Joe Heinen and I met with Dakota County staff in
Hastings to discuss the minimum net sale proceeds that Dakota County will require the EDA to pay to
Dakota County following the sale of the property in question to Mr. Heinen. Dakota County staff
members indicated at that time that they would need to conduct some internal discussions in order to
decide how they wanted to handle the "sale proceeds question" and certain environmental issues.
Following the April 28 meeting, City staff initiated periodic contacts with Dakota County staff via
telephone and e-mail.in an effort to determine when they would be completing their analysis. It appears
that there may have been some miscommunications between the Treasurer/Auditor's Office and the
Environmental Management department that resulted in a delay of several weeks. Eventually everyone
received all necessary information, and Dakota County then sent us (on June 21, via e-mail) the written
opinion that we had verbally requested in April regarding the "transfer price" for the conveyance of the
property from the EDA to Mr. Heinen. We now know that we can finalize our acquisition of the
property from the State and then sell it to Mr. Heinen for $1, without any expectation on the part of
Dakota County that the EDA pay to the County an amount in excess of $1. I have contacted the State to
request that the EDA be sent a deed to the 4th & Main lot. I will work with the City Attorney to schedule
a closing on the transfer of the property to Mr. Heinen, so that he can proceed with his house-moving
plans and the subsequent finalization of his redevelopment plans for the site upon which the "about-to-
be-moved" house is currently located.
g. Downtown Area -- 305 3rd Street- Former Liquor Store Building
A "for rent" sign has been prepared and placed in the window, and staff members are continuing to fiel.
occasional inquiries regarding the building. As you know, we previously discussed the possibility of
putting an ad in the local newspaper, but I believe that the EDA didn't want to incur that expense until it
could be determined whether any of the parties who were initially interested were willing to sign a lease.
Those discussions have not yet produced a tenant for the building, so it may be time to consider running
an ad. We will have specifics for you at Monday night's meeting regarding advertising options and ad
rates. If a few months of advertising don't produce a tenant, we may need to consider listing the property
with a realtor or with a company that specializes in the marketing of commercial space (Cerron, Welsh,
etc.).
h. Economic Development Summit; Economic Development Plan
The City Administrator will continue to work with staff and with the City Council to clarify the manner
in which (and the timetable under which) the Council would like to (1) proceed with its original plan to
conduct an Economic Development Summit and (2) thereafter complete the Economic Development
Plan [EDP]. In the meantime, City staff members will continue their work on various "component
parts" of the eventual EDP.
For example, staff and the EDA members have (from the beginning) intended that the final EDP would
include a detailed list of existing businesses (including addresses, phone numbers, contact persons,
square footage or acreage figures, etc.), for general informational purposes and to provide baseline data
that could be used to quantify future commercial growth. Several months ago, you were shown a draft .
of an Excel spreadsheet that was being used to collect and organize the data in question. Since that tim
staff members have continued to collect information, compare and combine existing business lists
(downtown business list, industrial park business list, utility billing information, Chamber of Commerce
membership list, etc.), and otherwise move forward with that particular portion of the eventual EDP.
Staff members have also continued to work on draft recommendations for the EDA regarding the future
commercial development and/or redevelopment of specific geographic regions of the City. These
recommendations will presumably be wanted or needed in connection with task force meetings or public
hearings regarding the Economic Development Plan, or in connection with meetings or public hearings
regarding the impending update of the City's Comprehensive Plan (due to the Met Council in 2008),
whichever come( s) first.
Your packet includes a copy of a summary of recent and planned commercial/industrial activity that was
prepared for the City Administrator, along with a related map. This information is being provided to you
because it includes references to some current (and potential future) EDA projects. A modified version
of this summary and map could potentially be included in the "assessmenf' portion of the eventual EDP.
Until then, staff members will revise the summary and map periodically to ensure that the information
remains current and accurate. We are also preparing an edited version of the summary and map
(deleting references to completed projects and a few speculative future projects) that could potentially be
placed on the City's web site and/or distributed to the public upon request.
6. New Business
.
'.
a. Downtown Area - Heinen Redevelopment Area (Elm Street)
.
As indicated at last month's meeting, Mr. Joe Heinen is giving consideration to redeveloping most of the
south half of the block located north of Elm Street and between 3rd Street and 4th Street. He may have
some conceptual drawings to show to the EDA members at Monday night's meeting, in order to gauge
the EDA's initial level of interest.
b. Downtown Area - Rambling River Days
The Rambling River Days Committee will be using the McVicker lot, the Blaha property and the former
liquor store during Rambling River Days. The McVicker lot and the Blaha property have been used in
the past, without problems or incidents. Tina has worked out the necessary arrangements regarding the
use of the former liquor store for the craft show; see attached e-mail from her details.
c. Tour of "The Grand" in Northfield
During the May EDA meeting, we discussed the possibility of touring "The Grand" in Northfield to
develop a better understanding of how historic structures can be renovated and returned to productive
commercial uses. We preliminarily talked about touring the building in the late afternoon or early
evening on June 26, but I later determined that the building's management typically does not work on
Mondays. The building's owner would be available to give us a tour ofthe building in the late afternoon
or early evening (4 PM to 7 PM range) on Wednesday, June 28 or Thursday, June 29 if anyone is
interested. We can determine at Monday night's meeting if one of these dates would work; if not, we
can talk about potential alternate dates.
. 7. Executive Director's Report
A verbal update may be provided at the meeting regarding ongoing or anticipated matters involving
housing and/or economic development (other than those referred to above).

Unfinished Business
a. Downtown Area - McVicker Lot
Mr. Joe Heinen has expressed a high level of interest in the McVicker lot. Mr.
Heinen had prepared some concept drawings for the EDA's review. He would
construct a two-story mixed-use building. Member Hardt liked the plans and
would like to see the balcony feature. The appearance is consistent with the look
of the downtown area. Councilmember Fogarty asked about the width of the
walkway and the open area next to Gossips. Mr. Heinen would prefer to keep a
space between adjacent buildings. Councilmember Fogarty felt the space needed
to be covered or remove the staircase rather than having a dead open space.
Members would prefer to see the stairs removed. If the plans with Mr. Heinen
move forward staff will talk with the owner of Gossips regarding the staircase.
Perhaps Mr. Heinen would pay for the cost of removing the stairs and another
option for the stairs. Staff prepared a Letter of Understanding that would remain
in effect for 60 days during which the EDA would work exclusively with Mr.
Heinen to determine whether a Contract for Private Development can be
achieved. The 60 days would end the day prior to the July 24, 2006 EDA
meeting. MOTION by Hardt, second by Starkman to direct staff to enter into the
Letter of Understanding with Joseph Heinen. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. The
board continued to review the various options on the concept drawings.

b.
Industrial Park - R&L Trucking
One minor detail needs to be resolved before the building permit for the new truck
terminal can be issued. This should be done within the next week or two.
c.
Downtown Area - Exchange Bank Building and Larson Building
Staff presented a First Amendment to Contract for Private Sale. This includes the
schedule discussed at the last EDA meeting. There were also several other
additions. Staff has not received a response from Mr. Brown to the changes. Mr.
Brown would prefer to make final renovations once they have a tenant. Staff
would like to have more of the work done up front so the space looks better. By
May 17, 2006 the developer was required to submit complete construction plans
and building permit application for the fire escape and the Oak Street stairway.
The construction plans were delivered on May 16, 2006, but a building permit
application was not submitted. The architect submitted plans that were done
some time ago. He was not aware the deadline included the building permit
application. They had planned to continue the bidding process with a deadline of
May 30, 2006, and then the contractor with the winning bid would apply for a
building permit. Member Collignon commented that the original contract
requires a Notice of Failure to Comply before declaring default. He stated he had
previously mentioned this notice should be prepared to be ready for the default if
this does happen. He still feels this should be prepared for the next EDA meeting.
Members did not see how he could meet the next deadline of June 14,2006.
Community Development Director Carroll noted there has been a lot of work
done to update the plans and felt he should be given more time. If someone new
were to come in, they would have to start from scratch and the use of the building
would be delayed even further. Once a contractor is chosen, staff would be
working with the contractor to enforce the time line. Member Hardt agreed with
drawing up the Notice of Failure to Comply for the June meeting. The board
should know by then whether Mr. Brown will be able to comply with the timeline.
MOTION by Hardt, second by Flaherty to approve the First Amendment to
Contract for Private Sale. Voting for: Arey, Flaherty, Fogarty, Hardt, McKnight,
Starkman. Voting against: Collignon. MOTION CARRIED. Staffwill prepare
a Notice of Failure to Comply and bring it to the June meeting if needed.
d. Downtown Area - Riste Building
Staffhad hoped that a developer would also want the lot containing the Xcel
building next to the Riste building. Staff is prepared to initiate these discussions
with Xcel again.
e.
Industrial Park - JIT Powdercoating
Mr. Milner has picked up and paid for the permit and grading has begun. All of
the trailers have been removed from 208th Street. The fees are $10,000 greater
than estimated. Mr. Milner has elected to have some of the fees assessed. This
will be brought to Council on June 5, 2006.

Downtown Area - Vacant Lot at 4th Street and Main Street
This has taken longer than anticipated because of Dakota County's approach to
the contamination issues. They have spent a lot of time discussing the venting
system. Dakota County staff feels that transferring the property to Mr. Heinen for
$1 will be approved.
g. Downtown Area - 305 3rd Street - Former Liquor Store Building
Staffis marketing the property and there is a For Rent sign in the window.
Interests have been received from two parties, one for a hobby shop and one for a
handmade-jewelry store. Staffhas concluded it is worth it to have someone
remove the conveyor at their expense. The Police Department may have an
interest in the safe.
.
.
h.
Economic Development Plan
Staffis trying to determine if they can look at certain geographic areas. The
downtown area has received a lot of discussion lately. Currently there is not a
document for a downtown plan. Staff distributed a preliminary sample work plan
for discussions showing some items staff has been working on. Member Hardt
understood the importance of moving ahead and agreed the downtown area is a
good place to start. The EDA would be starting without a vision statement,
without a statement of principles, without a formal sense of how the downtown
might fit in with the overall economic development plan, but to wait for all these
to be in place we would have to wait awhile. A downtown plan could be used as
a pilot for those elements. The board could write up a brief statement of
principles about development in the downtown area, develop a vision statement of
how they see development in the downtown area and how it would fit with the
rest of the community. He would be in favor of moving ahead with the idea of
building in the broader elements.
Councilmember McKnight recalled that City Administrator Herlofsky was going
to meet with staff regarding a timeline for the economic development plan.
Community Development Director Carroll added that staffwas going to wait until
the results of the community survey were received. He was not sure if the
economic development plan should be on hold for the small amount of
information that will be received. He clarified that Council wanted to pick a
facilitator to facilitate the meeting. There was minimal discussion about the
facilitator assisting in deciding what should be discussed at the summit. The
missing piece is how we get to the point where the Council feels comfortable with
what will happen at the meeting. Council needs to decide if they want to do this
on their own with or without staff input or with staff input and also the facilitator.
The other alternative is to have a workshop without a facilitator to decide what we
want. Councilmember McKnight stated this is a part of the economic
development plan and he did not want to waste anyone's time by moving forward
with this and then change direction later. Member Hardt felt the key to the
summit is framing the right questions and the preparation for the meeting. The
questioning of what is our vision is something the consultant may be able to
EDA Minutes
May 22, 2006
Page 4
guide. Member Hardt does not see the summit as the opportunity where everyone
has the right answer. He sees the summit and the preparation process as being a
part of the process of having the right answers emerge. Member Flaherty stated
from the direction of this discussion, the board will have a difficult time divorcing
a sample work plan for the historic downtown from the economic development
plan. CounciImember Fogarty suggested inviting City Administrator Herlofsky to
attend an EDA meeting. Member Starkman saw the document from staff as being
a valuable part of the economic development plan framework. He felt getting a
facilitator in place was the next logical step. Member Collignon felt there was no
need to engage in further conversation until the Council has had their workshop.
Community Development Director Carroll stated staffwill continue to put
together summaries of things the EDA is doing or has recently done for the City
Administrator.
New Business
a. Downtown Area - Heinen Redevelopment Area (Elm Street)
Mr. Heinen was unable to attend the meeting tonight and had intended to present
some concept drawings to the board. The drawings include the area from the
carpet store to the end of the block. Currently the building would end prior to the
auto repair business. He would put a new fayade on the existing building and
connect that to the new building and go east. Staff is encouraging him to look at a
two-story building. The current building would remain one story. There would
be a passage way from the rear parking to the street. There would also be an
elevator in the building. Mr. Heinen is uncertain if the upper floor would be
offices or residential. The sequence of events would be that Mr. Heinen would
acquire the 4th and Main Street lot, move the brick house to that lot, finish his
plans for the McVicker lot and start construction, and during the late fall, winter
and spring, finalize the plans for the Elm Street building and start on that when
the building on the McVicker lot is finished. Mr. Heinen will be invited to the
next EDA meeting.
6.
b.
Downtown Area - Rambling River Days
A letter was received from the Rambling River Days committee requesting to use
the McVicker lot and the former liquor store building. Staffwas open to letting
the committee use the liquor store for crafters, but was concerned about having
onsite supervision. Staff would prefer to have a volunteer stationed at the
building for supervision or at least have someone check on the activities every
hour. CounciImember Fogarty would agree to allow them to use the building ifit
was supervised. Members suggested leasing the building to CEEF or having a
Letter of Understanding so they would be responsible for it, however the event
takes place prior to the next meeting so a document could not be approved. It was
determined the Rambling River Days committee should designate a person to be
responsible for the space. Ideally they would be present the entire time or at least
check on it hourly. A contact should be provided in case of problems. The
restroom will not be allowed for public use. A key will be given to the Park and

c. Seminar - Economic Development 101
Member Hardt felt the seminar was good. It was facilitated by Jana King and
there was a presentation by Dakota Futures explaining their services. He had a
copy of the powerpoint presentation and discussed this with the board. Member
Collignon also attended the seminar and gave his views of what was discussed.

Dear Mr. Carroll:
My son and I are very eager to finish the construction of the Exchange Bank
Building. We are trying to meet the deadlines outlined in the proposed amendment t
contract which you submitted to us by letter of April 21. We met the first deadline b .
submitting the architect's plans for the various projects outlined in the proposed ame ded
contract by May 17th as to the fire escape and stairs. The sprinkler companies will n t
submit the detailed plans until a contract has been signed but they have submitted bi s.
We received the second one which you got a copy of just a few days ago.
The installers that we have received bids from think it advisable not to use a
system and recommend a wet system instead. However, the wet system would requi e
insulation under the roof or outside on top of the existing roof and it be re-roofed. I on't
know the age of the existing roof but I am assuming it must be at least ten years old.
Would the Committee have objections to that?
We are attempting therefore to get the plans today from the sprinkling com
but whether that is physiCally possible I do not know. If it is, we will bring it out to ou.
If not, we will can you later today. Our architect told me this morning that he had tri d to
reach you before. Ironically, you and I were probably talking at the same time.
We have decided that we should sign the amendment to the initial contract to
illustrate and show our good 'faith ,in working with the City. You submitted the
amendment to us on April 21) 2006 and we had our architect immediately assemble
complete building plans which were delivered to City Hall on or about May 17,200 .
We have been willing and able to begin construction on the fire escape and stairway but
realize that today is the June 14th deadline for commencing constroction. We have n t
been notified of your approval of the plans for that first phase and I clearly understa

.
that since you received the memorandum dated June Ith of this year from the
Preservation Planning Consultant, that you must await the receipt of a certificate of
appropriateness from the Heritage Preservation Commission.
I think both parties realize that the amendment which is enclosed does not re eet
the situation as it actually exists at this time. We realize the deadline of June 14th fo
submitting the sprinkler design and plans has passed. So signing the agreement afte a
date which indicates default from the date of signature seems unrealistic and does n t
reflect existing conditions now. However, you have told me that you have no autho ity to
make changes in or alter the dates in the contract. The letter of June 12lh from Robe
Vogel, the Preservation Planning Consultant to the Fannington Planning Committee
states that the Exchange Bank Project is now subject to design review and complian e
and requires a certificate of appropriateness.
Whether these requirements will cause a significant lengthening in the tiroeli e
provided in the amendment of the contract, I do not know. I have to assume that ea of
the phases stated in the amendment to the contract will have the same ntunber of da s for
completion as provided therein.
.
I have asked our architect to inform the sprinkler contractor to try and get
something in the way of plans to you involving the sprinkler system. [fthe Planni
Commission has any objection to the outside insulation and the new roof, we would eed
to know immediately t but I believe it would be the best for the building and the over 11
fire safety.
We are very eager to finish the project and believe that any conflicts or
inconsistencies that may arise can be solved between the two parties.
Sincerely,
Hosmer A. Brown

MEMORANDUM
12 June 2006
TO: Farmington Heritage Preservation Commission
FR: Robert Vogel, Preservation Planning Consultant
RE: Exchange Bank Certificate of Appropriateness
I have reviewed the plans submitted by CNH Architects in relation to the proposed stair
tower addition and interior improvements at the Exchange Bank Building, 344 Third St.
Subject property is zoned as a Farmington Heritage Landmark and is also listed in the
National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1880, the building was acquired by the city
in the early 1990's and restored with public funds. The proposed work involves the
demolition of some interior features and the construction of a stair tower to provide safety
code compliant access to the second-floor auditorium space; installation of a fire
suppression system; and installation of new doors and stairs on the Oak St. side of the
building to provide safety code compliant access to the upper floor.
In my opinion, the proposed work represents a rehabilitation project, which the city
defines as the process of returning a property to a state of utility through repair or
alteration which makes possible an efficient contemporary use while preserving those
portions or features of the property which are significant to its historical, architectural,
and cultural values. By ordinance, the city has adopted the Secretary of the Interior's
standards for the treatment of historic properties as the authoritative guide for design
review decisions involving properties designated as Farmington Heritage Landmarks.
As shown on the plans, the proposed new door at the western entrance on Oak St. will
retain the existing door opening and transom as well as the original stoop. The work
should not alter historic masonry or other exterior finishes and appears to comply with
preservation guidelines. The proposed stair tower appears to have been placed in an
inconspicuous location where it will not require removal of significant historic fabric or
interf~re with the essential historic character of the facades. Interior demolition and new
construction will not, in my opinion, injure or alter the distinguishing architectural
qualities or historic character of the building's exterior features, which are protected by
its landmark designation.
Because it involves both demolition and new construction, I believe this project is subject
to design review and compliance and therefore requires a Certificate of Appropriateness
(COA) from the Heritage Preservation Commission. I would also point out that the city
has adopted the policy of requiring historic preservation design review and compliance
for all projects funded or assisted by the City of Farmington.
Therefore, I recommend approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the Exchange
Bank stair tower addition and interior improvements, subject to the following stipulations .
and conditions:
1) The proposed work will result in minimal alteration of the building's exterior and
will not remove or alter any historic material or distinctive architectural feature.
2) Installation of the new door on Oak St. will retain the existing window and door
openings, preserve in place the existing transom window and stoop, and install a
new door that is compatible in materials, color, and texture with the historic
character of the building.
3) Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and preserve original historic
interior features affected by or adjacent to the proposed demolition and stair
construction work.
4) Prior to any demolition or new construction work, the owner or the contractor
shall record existing conditions in the work areas with good quality color
photographs and a sketch plan that will be turned over to the city for archival
purposes.
5) A set of as-built plans should be produced on a durable medium (vellum or
Mylar) and deposited with the Heritage Preservation Commission to provide a .
permanent record of the changes made to the historic building.
The Commission may also wish to consider allowing local historical organizations an
opportunity to identify and salvage any historic fixtures or fabric that would otherwise be
lost as a result of demolition. From the plans, I am unable to determine if any objects of
historical interest will be removed in the demolition of the stairs or installation of the fire
suppression system.
I am confident that these recommendations provide a sound pragmatic framework that
will allow the owner to adapt the Exchange Bank for modem use in a manner consistent
with historic preservation standards.o

Attention: Lisa Shadick
Subject: Exchange Bank Building, Farmington, MN
Dear Lisa,
1bank you for the opportunity to review the above-mentioned project for conformance to the secretary of the
Interior's standards for Rehabilitation. Existing photographs were not submitted with the project so I am making a
few assumptions. The only area of concern I have is with the grand hall, room205 on the plans. Without
photographs I am unable to determine the condition of the plaster walls and ceiling in this space. The standards state
that materials dating to the period of significance should be repaired whenever possible, not replaced. I find it hard
to believe that every plaster surface in the room is damaged beyond repair. Therefore I question the removal of the
plaster on all the surfaces and replacement with gypsmn board The historic plaster walls and ceiling should remain,
being repaired if necessary.
Materials that date to the period of significance are a direct contribution to the integrity of the property. The
removal of these materials, even when replaced by exact replicas, still constitutes a 100% loss of integrity for
that material. (simply put, it is original... or it is not) If the majority of the historic fabric in a building is
removed it will jeopardize the listing of the property. Therefore it is a standard practice to identify all
materials that date to the period of significance prior to construction and integrate their preservation into the
plan whenever possible.
A future concern I have regarding the same space is its proposed use. The grand hall is considered a
character defming space of the property and its volumetric form should be preserved. If a future tenant
wishes to partition the space into multiple offices with full height walls, it would be a violation of the
. standards. Ifpartitionii1g is necessary the walls should not extend full-height so any visitor can determine the
volmnetric form of the space. The best solution would be the use of a modular furniture system.

I~

Dear Mr. Carroll:
I want to update you on our progress with the Exchange Bank project. Upo .
approval of the submitted applications for building pennits on April 17th and your r ceipt
of a Certification of Appropriateness from the Preservation Planning Consultant, are
ready to proceed with the fire escape and stairway modification. I have verified thi with
our architect, and our contractor can begin upon approval of the permit application.
We could not submit complete plans for the sprinkler system, as we did for e
other wor~ because the sprinkler contractors will not submit construction plans unti a
contract has been signed. The delay in getting this done was their determination
whether we should use a wet system or a dry system, and whether, with the wet syst
the vapor barrier should be applied on the inside of the existing roof or be applied 0 er
the existing roof and then re-roofed. It was reaching this determination which then
caused our delay. They have recommended that the barrier should be applied on the
outside and then re-roofed. I assume this is acceptable to E.n.A.
In taJking to the architect today~ he tells me we have let the contract to Fire uard
Company, subject of course to the City's approval of the pennit and plans. He furth r
assured me just a few minutes ago that the plans would be in your possession Man y so
you could present them to the Economic Development Authority.

Fire Suppression System Status Update
As requested by my client, I am writing to provide an update of the status of the entire project and
specifically in regards to the fire suppression system (sprinkler) design.
First of all, a General Contractor, Langer Construction, has been selected and contracted to do the
project. As you know, they have applied for a building permit and are waiting for that process to
proceed through all the required city and state approvals before they start the construction.
The fire suppression system is contracted to Fireguard of Minnesota as a subcontractor to Langer
Construction. They had started doing the system design for submittal and realized that there were .
two significantly different approaches to how the system was design which they presented to me and
the owners. Fireguard then needed to wait for our analysis ofthese approaches before completing the
design for submittal.
The design issue is related to the code requirement to install sprinkler heads within the flat wood
trussed roof system over the Great Hall. The original approach was indicated as providing sprinkler
lines and heads up within the trusses which would be above the insulation batts laid at the bottom of
the truss system, and thus would freeze if not constructed in a dry system containing compressed air
instead of water. This dry system requires more maintenance and has a greater potential to fail
causing major unjustified water damage without incurring a fire incident. The alternative approach
suggested by the sprinkler contractor was to reroof the Great Hall portion of the building providing
insulation on the roof deck instead of at the bottom of the trusses. This would then result in the wood
trusses being within the heated portion of the building and allow a standard wet fire suppression
system.
The evaluation ofthis change and the cost impact of the two options was what previously delayed the
completion and submittal of the fire suppression design drawings to the City. The reroofing option
has been priced by Langer Construction and resulted in an $8,000 increase in construction cost.
Since the contractor and I suggested to the Owner that the added cost would, in our opinion, be a
good investment in lower maintenance and increased protection ofthe historic structure, the Owner
has approved this design approach. With this issue investigated and resolved, Fireguard is currently

Construction Schedule - Need to bring trailers back to the street
Dan,
The JIT expansion project is moving forward at a rather rapid pace.
The precast is set, the roof is on, and we are starting preparation to pour the slab
(scheduled for next Tuesday, June 20). By the end of next week (June 23), the basic
exterior structure of the building will be completed. That brings us to the next phase,
the creation of the north storage area, parking lot and driveway.
This work will require us to eliminate the temporary trailer storage on the north side of
the lot. I will need to move the trailers back to the street for approximately 5-7
business days to allow the earth work, curb and gutter, and first phase of asphalt to be
constructed in our permanent storage area/drive way. Once created, the trailers will be
moved back off the street. In very late July, near the expected end of the project, the
final layer of asphalt will be added
to the storage area and the trailers will need to be moved again.
But by that time, the new loading dock area facing Eaton will be ready and the trailers
will be moved to that site, not the street, while the final asphalt layer is applied.
You may wonder why the loading dock area is not created before the storage yard. There is
a reason for this schedule. The new Eaton Ave loading docks will require the elimination
of the current driveway used by Valmont Lexington to deliver light poles. Valmont
.exington is quite busy and can't afford to have 5-7 days without painting. By create the
torage area and new driveway first, Valmont Lexington will an alternative way to deliver
roduct allowing no disruption while the current driveway is removed for the docks.
We expect to start moving trailers to the street on Friday, June 23.
We are going to push the schedule very hard so that the trailers our back on our property
by June 30 (the start of the 4 day July 4tn holiday). If not, the trailers will be off
the street by Friday, July 7.
It would be our plan to store 2 trailers on the east side of Eaton Ave and 2 on the south
side of 208th St. Eaton Ave is clear, but both sides of 208th St are being used by Xcel
Energy. They have been parking trailers/trucks/equipment on both sides of 208th St since
the day after we moved our trailers to the temporary storage area. We may need some
assistance from the city in identifying the appropriate people at Xcel to contact
regarding this situation.
I realize this is not ideal, but in all my conversations with staff, EDA, etc., I did
explain that at some point in the process, we would need to be back on the street for a
very short time. I want to minimize the impact on everyone, so I thought I would send
this notice early enough so we can get city staff feedback and modify/ adjust as needed.
Thanks for your continued support!

Michelle and Kris,
I wanted to confirm in writing my telephone conversation with Michelle Neiss about the plans
for the crafters to use the former liquor store building space during the Rambling River Days
weekend. During our conversation Michelle indicated that she will be the CEEF
Committee member who will be in charge of the keys that are needed to access the 305 3rd
Street [former liquor store] building. Michelle is already in possession of the keys since I gave
them to her when she stopped in at City Hall on July 15. They were given to her in advance so
that she could access the space in order to clean it before the crafters started setting up their
displays around 8 AM on Friday, June 23, 2006. Michelle has also indicated that she will open
and close the building each day and will be responsible for a final walk-through after the event
to make sure that all garbage is picked up and that everyone has removed all of their personal
property (tables, chairs, inventory, etc.). Michelle is responsible for all crafters, of which some
will be along 3rd Street, so she won't physically be in the building during the entire time that
the crafters are in there. However, Lee Farley-Moe (long term resident of Farmington and
regular vendor of Michelle's) will be the specified person in charge while Michelle is outside of
the building. Michelle has indicated that she will post an "Out of Order" sign by the bathroom,
to deter the public from using the bathroom and has indicated that she will inform all of the
crafters inside of the building that the bathroom is not to be used by the public. Lastly, Michelle
will return the keys to me Monday morning.
Crafter Hours (inside former liquor store building)
Friday & Saturday
10:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Sunday
11:00 AM - 5:00 PM
. Michelle plans to be in the building about an hour ahead of the scheduled crafter times
each morning of RR Days and will keep the building locked until just before 10:00 AM on
Friday and Saturday and 11:00 on Sunday.
. She also stated that she will be in the building later than 5:00 PM on Sunday in order to
clean-up and do the final walk-through of the building.
