in the past 25 years. He also questioned the assessment fonnula using front footage. He felt it is not a fair

OéC.\1I!.C l11'7 ¡ Current development trends are creating blandly uniform neighborhoods that lack community
_.---- . ~_ J spirit and waste natural and human resources. Land waste is a growing problem, as five- and
10-acre lots consume the countryside at an alarming pace. Not surprisingly, many people are
looking for better ways to develop neighborhoods that have a sense of community and preserve
the environment.
People are looking for However, the improved methods have some common-enemies: present zoning and subdivision
ordinances which mandate visually disturbing blandness and inefficiency and criminalize
better ways to develop innovative solutions. Restrictive regulations that destroy creativity should be made flexible or
neighborhoods that offer a replaced with new, performance-based approaches that consider overall community benefits
rather than simply lot sizes and setbacks.
sense of community and The market recognizes how more compact development builds community, compared to the
preserve the envirol/ment. isolation of big lots. A good example of a community designed for sustainable development is
The Fields of St. Croix, a new 206-acre cluster development in Lake Elmo. This development
shows that alternatives to typical large lot developments in the metro area can be marketable
and economically viable. With smaller lots near the naturarwooded ridge overlooking ponds
and open space, the adjoining rich agricultural land will be kept in perpetual open space by a
conservation easement drawn up by the Minnesota Land Trust.
. The Fields of St. Croix aims to create:
· A neighborhood with a range of housing alternatives and recreational opportunities including
pathways, playing fields and tennis courts.
· A sense of place that complements Lake Elmo's rural character and preserves historic
landmarks including a Civil War era barn, granary and com crib.
· A neighborhood where residents of all ages can live close to the land and enjoy the benefits
of rural Minnesota, while providing an opportunity to protect, enhanc~ and learn about the
environment.
· Rural, craftsman, or prairie style designs for h~mes that incorporate advanced energy
conservation construction standards.
If the development spurred by the high rates of g'rowth in the Twin Cities metropolitan area
doesn't occur more efficiently and at higher densities, it will consume an inordinate amount of
land. Higher densities allow for more open space and a greater sense of community.
Sustainable development will be achieved when new, perforinance-based regulations encourage
such elements of improved neighborhood design as variety of lot sizes, visual relief along . '
thoroughfares and replacement of single purpose residential zoning with a greater variety of
home styles in a smaller area.
Sustainable Development: The Very Idea
. An idea that has captured the attention of 180 governments and countless communities
around the world, sustainable development still is unclear to many people. A report by
Environmental Quality Board staff, Sustainable Development: The Very Idea, helps to
create a common understanding of sustainable development and to stimulate new thinking
and discussion about what Minnesotans think of as progress. The report is slated to be
. released this fall; for a copy, contact Minnesota Planning, (612) 296-3985 or visit the

e- A Conference Sponsored By
Metropolitan Area Management Association
and
Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities
Labor Relations Committees
THE METROPOLITAN AREA MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (MAMA)AND COALITION OF
GREATER MINNESOTA CITIES (CGMC) LABOR RELATIONS COMMITTEES - CHAIRED
BY: WILLIAM S. JOYNES AND ERIC B. SORENSEN - AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
LABOR SERVICES, INC. (LELS) ANNOUNCE A CONFERENCE TO BE HELD ON
January 22, 1998 CONCERNING THE GOALS AND STRATEGIES OF THE JOINT
MA}1A/CGMC/LELS LABOR MANAGEMENT RELATIONS COr~ITTEE ( LMRC )
MAMA and the CGMC and LELS established in 1997 a state wide Labor
Management Relations Committee with the assistance of the Minnesota
Bureau of Mediation Services and Labor Relations Associates, Inc.
This committee, currently co-chaired by Pat Hentges, Mankato City
Manager, and Marylee Abrams, LELS General Counsel, was created to
. provide a platform for the cities and LELS to communicate and search
for creative solutions, without committing the Union or any city, to
problems and issues of mutual concern. Many of the problems/issues
identified by the Committee at its first sessions involve situations
which both sides are reluctant to place on the negotiations/interest
arbitration table - issues such as work schedules, the grievance
process, and wellness and fitness. Additionally, the committee is
considering whether the Union and the cities share any common
legislative goals which could be fostered by cooperative efforts at
the legislature.
--
The formation of the MAMA/CGMC/LELS LMRC is considered by - the
participants as a joint experiment (there is no other state-wide
single union multi-employer labor management relations committee in
the United States) which will be continued so long as the parties
believe that the time spent is productive in terms of identifying
and resolving problems of mutual concern. The committee is not
involved in negotiations and does not represent any bargaining unit
or city. The Committee exists solely to study and consider
solutions to problems identified by the Union and cities as issues
of mutual concern and issue reports for consideration to cities and
bargaining unit members.
,
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
. The conference is provided for management personnel from cities
. which have LELS as a bargaining representative for licensed peace
officer bargaining units and the union steward(s) from those cities.
.
> .
CONDITIONS OF REGISTRATION _~
City management and City police management are invited to attend,
HOWEVER, city personnel may not attend unless the union steward(s)

PLANNING NEEDS FOR CITY FACILITIES: The Council reviewed the memo :fÌom EDA Director
Chad Carlson concerning office needs.
Representatives of the American Legion have approached the Mayor if the City has any interest in their
building. The Legion is experiencing space constraints and would consider land the City may have
available (Roske Addition).
Discussed were the following planning issues: f'
1) The need for long range planning.
2) Storage needs:
· Both the Police Department and the Maintenance Department have storage needs that the old Fire Hall
could help alleviate short term. A separation in the building, may be needed.
· Maintenance needs warm storage for snow removal equipment. Consideration was given to allow the
maintenance to use the storage space this winter and construct a building next year to meet their needs.
· Maintenance facilities could be expanded to use the adjacent gravel pit area. The whole area could be
secured with a tènce.
· Snow storage needs and possible impound lot.
3) City Hall-Police Department building:
· Provisions to be made for Senior Citizens.
. · Constructing a pitch roof on City Hall building.
· Ifthe City would acquire the Legion building it would take it off the tax rolls.
· Legion Building in good location, as well as adjacent properties to the City Hall property.

4) Prioritization
.

· Both Administration and Police Departments are in substandard facilities.
5) Detennining needs:
· Have a study done shmving facilities needed within adjacent properties, using the previous study.
· Determine the structural condition of the City Hall building, perhaps by the Building Official.
· Should the furnace go out in the City Hall Annex building, it ,,,ill be repaired or replaced as needed to
accommodate immediate needs.
Mayor Hiemenz will meet the Police Chief and Director of Public Works to work out a plan for both
departments to use the space in the old fire hall. There was also discussion that another option would
include using a vacant bay at the new Fire Station.

in the American Legion building; seconded by EWert.
Ayes: Hiemenz, Loso, EWert, Niedenfuer, Twit.
Nays: None. Motion carried.

Director Reports
Marketina Brochure: Carlson reported that he has contacted the designers hired by the
Star City Commission for the development of a City brochure. The Board requested
to review the proof of the brochure for additional comments.
Railroad Crossina: Hiemenz read a letter he received with regard to the City receiving
additional railroad crossings. The letter indicated that all correspondence needs to go
. through the Washington DC Office. Board Members discussed the importance of
receiving an additional crossing for the development of the Industrial Park. Hiemenz
and Carlson will pursue this matter further.
Financina Consultant: Carlson reported that Ed Tschida is interested in assisting the
City with developing financial incentives such as TIF. Tschida is willing to make a
presentation to the Board with regard to his services at no charge. The Board agreed
to have Tschida make a presentation to the EDA Board at the December meeting.
Manufacturer's Week: Carlson presented the Board with a certificate from the
Governor's Office acknowledging City participation in Manufacturer's Week. Carlson
hopes to expand the business displays in 1998.
Zonina Ordinance: The Planning Commission is updating the Zoning Ordinances as
listed in the St. Joseph Code of Ordinances. Carlson questioned if the Board would
like to have input during this process. The Board requested the Planning Commission
allow the EDA to have input on Zoning Ordinances that deal with Commercial or
Industrial regulations.
Hiemenz reported that at a recent Mayor's Breakfast he received positive feedback on
Chad Carlson.
Financial Report: Weyrens reported that the by-laws of the EDA require the Board to
receive a Financial Report. Therefore, the Board needs to determine the frequency
. and type of report to be received. After discussion Gohman made a motion to receive
a detailed financial report quarterly. However, should the level of activity increase the
financial reports will be reviewed on a more frequent basis. The motion was seconded
by Rieke and passed unanimously.
.
,'.
DTED Conference: Carlson presented a brochure for an upcoming development
seminar sponsored by the Department of Trade and Economic Development to be held .
December 10 - December 11. Gohman made a motion authorizing Carlson and one
Board Member to attend the conference; seconded by Rieke and passed unanimously.
Industrial Park: Carlson reported that the City of St. Joseph has received a $5,000
grant from the Central Minnesota Initiative Fund for the design work of the Industrial
Park. The grant is contingent upon the City securing the balance of the project costs -
$ 17,000. Carlson stated the City has committed to $ 8,120 and the EDA should
request a commitment from Leo Buettner for the balance, $ 9,000.
Deutz questioned if the EDA Board was in a position to request a financial commitment
from Buettner and development of the Industrial Park is not a given. Gohman stated
the Industrial Park will be developed and the EDA needs to work with Buettner to move
forward.
Carlson stated that the City cannot afford to develop the entire Industrial Park at one
time and will need to phase the project. The Board discussed alternatives for
developing the Park, including closing the Railroad crossing currently located at County
Road 133 and constructing a service road west. The service road would take traffic to
County Road 2 and would also provide the much needed second ingress/egress for the
Northland Addition. The Board requested Carlson to present this option to the City .
Engineer for his comments and review.
Carlson stated that he called surrounding Cities with regard to Industrial property
prices. They are as follows: Sauk Rapids - $ 16,000 per acre; Cold Spring - $ 2,000
per acre; Sarterll $ 20,000 to $ 25,000 per acre. During discussion with surrounding
Cities, they stated preference in the developer owing the property with the City having
an agreement to sell the property. The Cities then work with developers and TIF
projects. Carlson stated it is his opinion that it is not feasible for the City to purchase
the property at this time. Therefore, he recommends the City enter into an agreement
where they City would serve as the marketing agent and would receive a fee for each
lot sold.
Discussion with Industrial Park Land Owner - Leo Buettner: Carlson stated the City is
in the process of moving forward with the design stage of the Industrial Park. The
Engineer estimate for such work is $ 22,120. The City has received a grant in the
amount of $ 5,000 and the City is contributing $ 8,120, leaving a balance of $ 9,000.
Buettner stated he is willing to work with the City to include an option of purchasing the
property. Buettner presented the Board with surrounding Industrial Land prices and
stated his asking price per acre is $ 15,000. If the Board would like to enter into an
agreement whereby the City would market and sell the property, he is requesting to
receive $ 45,000 annually, or 3 acres per year. Additionally, the property values would
increase 7% per annum. .
Gohman questioned Buettner if he has ever requested a minimum fee on other
properties he sold. Buettner stated he has not, but feels he needs an incentive for the
City to aggressively sell his property. Buettner stated that he would be willing to
" .
< --~.,.
· negotiate this term. Gohman responded that the 7% land increase would be incentive
enough for the City.
. Deutz stated that the land prices presented the Board are not for areas in an Industrial
Park. In order to establish a fair market price that information should be received by
the Board.
The Board agreed that before any further work is completed an agreement would need
to be executed between the land owner, Leo Buettner and the Economic Development
Authority. The Board questioned Buettner if he is willing to contribute $ 9,000 to the
design work of the Industrial Park. Buettner stated that before he commits any funds to
the Industrial Park, he needs an assurance or commitment from the City.
Board Members discussed the tax impact and market values of the -unsold properties.
Gohman stated the development of the Industrial Park will depend on the price per
acre. He stressed the importance of the lots being competitively priced. The City
cannot afford to hold high priced Industrial land.
After a lengthy discussion, Rieke made a motion to authorize the EDA Director and
EDA Chair to work with the City Attorney to draft a preliminary contract to be reviewed
by Leo Buettner and EDA Board Members. The motion was seconded by Deutz and
passed unanimously by those present.
· As Buettner will be leaving the area the end of December, the Board moved the
December 10 meeting to December 3, 1997.
Adjourn: Gohman made a motion to adjourn at 10:05 a.m.; seconded by Rieke and
passed unanimously.
