has bee working with Vic West Steel to construct a new facility in the 8t. Joseph Business Park. Vic West is
conSi41ng constructing a new r.icility wit)t 67,000 square feet with a total project cost of 2,7 million. Inclu4ed in
the proj ct cost is specialized eqtlipment with an estimated cost f $ 500,000.
In order for the project to come t~ fruition, they are asking for financial assistance from the City of S1. Joseph. One
formofpnancing is through the MN Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED). DTED offers a
revolving loan fund for qualifying projects. The amount of funding is based on the number of jobs that are created.
The app' ication before the Counçil at this time indicates that Vic West anticipates adding 15 jobs with an average
wage of $ 16.00 per hour. If suc;cessful in obtaining funding, the City keeps the loan as it is paid back and
continu s to used the funds as a tevolving 10an fund. All costs associated with the application are paid by the
petition r. !

I
Thesec nd form of funding is T~x Increment Financing (TIF). Vic West is requesting maximum use ofTIF which
will generate approximately $ 40,000 per year to off set the cost of land and improvements. The TIF proposed
capturej the maximum period of)9 years. Juran and Moody was unable to produce the financial forecast for this
meeting but they will be available for the final TIP application.

TIP aptation olVic West Steil. Ra8s!er qnestioned at what point "'" City is notlt1e4 of the finandal "qniremen~
ofVic ' est Steel. Smith-Strack; stated that Vie West Steel is requesting the maximum amount ofTIF. The City has
a POlirhe"bY 10% of the a4~itiOnaI tauevenne ereated ~ he14 by the City, with the "uullring 90% par4 to ilie
proper . owner as the taxes are paid.
j
Ehlert uestioned if the City has! the ability to determine the amount of TIF provided on a case by case basis. He
stated f:t at semina" he has a1tays heen ins,,"cte4 to implement TIP with caution. While he snpports the
pro~os . d development Ehlert st~ted he is ~ppreh~nsi:e abo~t ~oving forward ,,:ithout knowing the financial impact.
Snnth- . track stated that the approval at thIs meetmg IS prehnnnary approval whIch allows the developer to move

to the . The term of the lease has yet to be determined but it will be either a ten or fifteen year lease. Hosch stated
that tht EDA has been working 'on this project for many years and the project is not viable without TIF assistance.
The pr' posed project will benefit the entire community. Hosch further stated that before a company can make
applic~tion for TIF, a series oftests must be completed including a But For test. The But For test determines if a
compa y can locate without TI¡.;'. If they will cannot, they are a candidate for TIF.
¡
Ehlert tated that the project before them at this time is the first major project for the City in the Industrial Park. He
I
further stated that considerable resources have been spentin anticipation of business/industria 1 development and he
is look ng for assurance that thi~ project is viable for the City now and in the future. City Attorney John Scherer
stated hat many communities ~se TIF to attract industry and they have not been afraid to use this mechanism of
financfg. The TIF policy for tpe City is pay-as-you-go so the risk to the City is minimal. The property owner is
only r~funded the recaptured tax after the taxes are paid. The project before the Council creates an additional 15
· jobs w ich are needed in the community. Further, if the funding from DTED is secured the City can offer a
revolv ng loan fund without co~tributing the initial capital.

before m~king a decision and do not anticipate making a decision until April 25, 2002. Hosch stated that the road is
an essential element before the final plat can be considered.
Herges eJpressed frustration with ~he process and stated that he needs to move his project forward and cannot wait
until APr~. He was of the understflnding that the College would render a decision on February 14 and now the date
has been ushed back further. Hefges stated that he has attempted to resolve the outstanding issues of Graceview

that t e property be access at the center point of Lots 1 and 2 Indian Hills Plat with a private service road extending

to the westerly edge of the property.

Rassi r stated the purpose oftþe service road is to prevent headlights from projecting into the neighboring homes.

two feet td he has provided scre~ning for the neighborhood. Lambert stated that the original Developers
- Agreeme't included a provision for a second ingress/egress to the property and he would like to exercise the option.
Lambert tated it is his opinion th¡t the road has been constructed too low and one access is not viable.
Rassier sated the Planning Commission is adamant that both lots owned by Lambert be accessed with one common
driveway The Planning Commis~ion expressed concern that precedence would be set if Lambert was allowed a
second a cess. When Ted Schmid developed Northland Four, access to Northland was limited. This same
procedur was used by the Plannibg Commission when reviewing the Indian Hills Park Plat. Loso stated it is his
opinion t at the plan presented to ,the Council is acceptable and each 10t should be based on its own merit.
Hosch st ted that he is somewhat'disappointed by the plans submitted by Lambert. He stated it was his
understafding that Lambert would lower the building to a two and one half story building, provide a natural buffer
and sub¥t a lighting plan. To thr best of his knowledge Lambert has not completed his plans. Lambert stated that
he provird the Planning Commission with a letter from his engineer stating that the building he is proposing is not
viable at two and one half stories~ As far as the lighting pIan, he presented the Planning Commission with the light
heads h~ will be using but has not completed the actuallight pIan. Lambert stated that he is willing to providy a
natural ence as requested by the neighborhood but is experiencing difficulty coming to consensus with the
ndghbtood Laniliert took 0iose to the comnænœ ofHosoh ond ,bæd ~t he has p<e,~ed n=emn, <e.
designs f the building only to have them rej ected by the Planning Commission.
Schneider stated that while LamBert may have incurred costs to re-design the proposed development, the issue has
not cha ged. The Planning Com'rnission and Council have requested the development be designed with one access
to serve both 10ts owned by L¡¡.mbert. This issue has not changed throughout the entire development process.
Therefo e, in his opinion Lambert could have resolved the issue by accepting the recommendations of the Planning
Commi sion and City Council. I
. Ehlert c¡oncurred with Schneiderl and stated the Council has been extremely clear with needed changes to the
develonment plan. Ehlertstate4 that he would be willing to make a motion to require the road be constructed
betwee~ the two lots owned by Rambert and be built to a width of 36'. Ehlert stated that it is his opinion that
~:be¡ shows a lack ohe,pect! fm the planning process and on nnwillingness to comply with the <eque,t ofthe
Schere clarified thatwhen the Indian Hills Plat _ filed, tha Developer' Agreement ;nc1tides a pr","s;on wheœby
the pro erty owner at the time o,f platting would donate the road right-of-way if the City constructed a road between
Loœ 1 rd2 Block 1 lndion mils Plat. The agreement further 'bæ' that the City has one year tn exerdse the
option nd one additional year tp construct the road.
Loso ade a motion to accept! the findings of the Planning Commission (see attachment "A") issuing the
specia use permit with the copditions outlined in the findings. The motion was seconded by Rassier.
I
Discussion: Hosch stqted that he was hoping that Lambert could reduce the height of the building further
than two feet, but is wìlling to accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve a three
foot variance on the h~ight of the building. However, before making a final decision on thesiteplan and
specíal use permit, H~sch stated that needed information is still missing. Missing items include a lighting
plan, type offencing a,nd location and type ofscreening and location. Further, Hosch requested that
Lambert move the caretaker unit further south and align all the garages north of the apartment unit. The
realignment of garagJs wìll help deflect headlights from extending into the neighborhood homes.

Chris Vance of reque~ted the Council deny the request of Mark Lambert as in his opinion the building does
I
not meet the intent onhe Ordinance. Further, it is his opinion that the proposed site is not suitable for a 44

apartment buildings. I Vance referred to the St. Josevh Code of Ordinances whereby it states that a

requesting the City assume oWIi-ership of their holding ponds. Bettendorf stated it is his recommendation that the
City a~sume ownership and ma}ntenance ofholding ponds is a City issue. Further, he was recently contacted by the
developer of Northland V regarding a property owner dispute over the user rights of the holding pond on a specific
parcel Platting the holding ponds as outlots and assuming ownership prevents future neighborhood disputes.

advan ages include maintenanSe. The City would not be responsible for mowing or weed prevention of the ponds.

1 . RESOLUTION OF FINDING
Thcreq~st of Ro.nræction LUthb. Chorchfor . Vori.ánC' to.encroach the rigbt'of-waY orca = h.fore fu.
Planning Commission at a Public: Hearing held on March 4,2002. The purpose of the hearing was to consider a
variance Ito allow an addition to ~esurrection Lutheran Church. . The Variance request is to allow an encroachment
of 6.4 fer in the public right-of-way area for a distance of twenty feet.
Th. pro~crty i.l.gally described ¡as follows: The property i. located at 610 County Road 2 ."d is legally
describ d as follows: That part of the Northwest Quarter Northwest Quarter (NW Y4 NW 14 ) of Section ofTen
(10) in T¡ownshipOne HundredTwenty-four (124) North of Range Twenty Nine (29) West, which lies Northeasterly
of the Nlrtheasterlyright of way lineofthe Burlington Northern Railroad, Northerly of the North line of Lot 12 of
Auditor' Subdivision No.4 and ;Easterly of the centerline oÍDew State Aid Road No; 2, LESS AND EXCEPT the
North 2 rods of said NW 1,4 N'Wi 1/4, all in the City of St. Joseph, Stearns County Minnesota.
In consiLration of the inforrnatión presented to the Planning Commission and its application to the Comprehensive
Plan and! Ordinances of the City Of St. Joseph, the Planning Commission makes the following fIndings:
FINDINb: The proposed plan is consistent with the following ~rovisions: '
S1. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.8 subd (a) states: "That there are exceptional or extÎaordinary
circumstances or condit~oIl$ applying to the property in question as to the intended use of the property that
do not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district. The exceptional or extraordináry
circumstances must not ,be the resú1t of actions taken by the petitioner.
FINDING: The property in question is triangular in shape therefore creating some building
. restrictions. 1'he denial of the variance would create a hardship to the property owner as the
building coul~ not be expanded and would no longer meet the needs of the property owner.
St. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.8 subd. (b):. "states thatthe literal interpretation of the provisions of this
I
Ordinance would depriye the petitioner of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district
under the terÌns of this Ordinance",
St. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.8 subd.(c ): "states that granting the variance requested will not confer
on the applicant any sp~cial privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to other lands in the same district".
St. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.8 subd. (d) "states that the proposed variance will not impair an
adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or diminish or impair established property values
within the surroundinglarea, or in any other respect impair the public health, safety or welfare ofthe
re~idents of the City". I
St. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.8 subd. (e) "states that the condition or situation of a specifIc piece of
property, or the intendfduse of said property, for which the variance was sought, is not of so general or
recunent a natùre as t~ make reasonably practicable the formulation of a general regulation for such
conditions or a situatibn".
The re ommendation is conting1ent upon the following:
. I
I
I
I
The City Engineer verify that the proposed encroachment will not interfere with future utility. or street
. improvements.
The motion was seconded by 1<-alinowski and passed unanimously.

Dear J dy: !
crOSSIn at FIrst A venue N~ by the MIll. The survey you provIded me prepared by Dave Regan for
Mark ambert, shows MrJ Lambert's property extending completely across First Avenue NE.
Thoug the crossing at CoIlege A venue would be subject to the road easement, my guess is this is
not th~ case at First Aven~e NE where the. old crossing was abandoned (though we still have
. utilitie there). In view of t*is, ¡. don't. see much sense in pursuing the crossing unless we still have
the easfment, or unless we¡ acquire at least the easterly 66 feet of the Lambert parcel. I believe it
would re good for the City!to acquire the entire Lambert parcel so there is also ample room for the.
Wobegon Trail Facility. '
I am c pyingJohn Schererjon this letter, and ask that John look into this issue. Specifically, I ask
that JOI detennine whether or not we still have the crossing easement, and advise on the
acquisi ion of the Lambert parcel.
Please dvise on how to probeed. Thanks.

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 5, 2002
To: Honorable Mayor Hosch and Members of the City Council
From: Judy Weyrens
Re: Graceview Estates
The Planning Commission recommended the Council approve the final plat of graceview estates with the following
contingencies:
1. Procurement of a utility easement from the College of St. Benedict along the southern edge of
their property for the installation of water and sewer lines.
2. Procurement of a temporary ingress/egress easement from the College of St. Benedict along the
northern edge for construction traffic.
3. Approval of the City Engineer
If the City Council approves the fmal plat, the Council will also need to authorize John to draft the Developer's
Agreement.
. This afternoon I talked to Jim Fredricks regarding the temporary easement for construction traffic and the utility
easement. The College is willing to sign immediately the utility easement, but not the temporary easement along the
northern edge of their property. Jim stated that the College believes the road is not needed and they are still
negotiating with Centra Care and do not want the road to be an issue. As an alternative the College is willing to
incorporate a temporary easement along with the utility easement. I discussed this matter with Bob and Rick and
they would make accommodations for such. As of this memo I have not discussed the information with Joe
Bettendorf.
On Thursday afternoon I have a scheduled meeting with Jim Fredricks and Sue Palmer to try and negotiate the
northern access. John, Joe and Larry will be attending the meeting as well. We will update the Council after the
meeting.

One suggestion would be to establish an escrow fund to hold funds contributed by the
developer as the land is developed. An agreed upon amount per acre is contributed to the
fund as the final plats are approved. The money would be applied to the road and utilities
to the extent not covered from other sources. If the road is not built with 7 years, the
money is returned to the developer.

MEMO TO: Mayor Hosch, Council Members, City Administrator Weyrens
FROM: Joanne Foust & Cynthia Smith-Strack, Municipal Development Group
RE: Economic Development Report - February, 2002
Municipal Development Group has been interacting with a number of prospects throughout the
past month. Following is a summary of activities that have transpired. If you have any
questions on any of these or other projects, please do not hesitate to contact us at 952-758-
7399.
Business Prospects have been identified by a project number to protect the confidentiality of the
businesses.
Project 01-Ä:
The company has been considering the construction or leasing of a newly constructed 65,000
square foot building in St. Joseph Business Park. The project was discussed in detail at a
. meeting with the Company, City representatives and Construction Contractor representatives
on February 13th. The Company proposes the leasing of a building constructed by an LLC from
the area. Local financial incentives are being sought to lower the lease price. The Company
plans on creating 15 new jobs paying an estimated $16/hour. A preliminary application for the
use of Tax Increment Financing to assist the project in moving forward was approved by the
EDA and the City Council. The prospect intends to move into the new building in December of
2002.
Project 01-F:
This prospect is working with a local commercial brokerage to secure a parcel for the
development of a fast food restaurant. MDG contacted the realtor on February 26th for an
update on the status of the project. MDG's assistance in reviewing possible locations for the
development was requested. Information on a possible location was shared. Additional review
by MDG was requested.
Project 01-1:
This company is proposing the construction of a 12,000 square foot facility on approximately 5
acres in St. Joseph Business Park in the spring of 2002. On January 22, 31 and February 5,
2002, MDG left messages checking with the owner to see if the site plan would be ready the
next week. The Developer responded indicating the site plan would not be prepared for review
in conjunction with a request for a lot split by the March meeting of the Planning Commission.
The Developer indicated the proposed 12,000 sf facility is being enlarged and revised plans will
be available for review at the April Planning Commission meeting.
Project 01-0:
This company is considering the construction of a 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility in
St. Joseph Business Park. On January 31, 2002 MDG left a message for the contractor for the
project. On February 5th MDG left a message for one of the owners regarding status of the
project and any assistance we could provide to assist in the coordination of the project. On
February 19, 2002 a representative for the prospect phoned MDG. The representative

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 5, 2002
To: Honorable Mayor Hosch and Members of the City Council
From: Judy Weyrens
Re: Graceview Estates
The Planning Commission recommended the Council approve the final plat of graceview estates with the following
contingencies:
1. Procurement of a utility easement from the College of St. Benedict along the southern edge of
their property for the installation of water and sewer lines.
2. Procurement of a temporary ingress/egress easement fÌom the College of St. Benedict along the
northern edge for construction traffic.
3. Approval of the City Engineer
If the City Council approves the [mal plat, the Council will also need to authorize John to draft the Developer's
Agreement.
· This afternoon I talked to Jim Fredricks regarding the temporary easement for construction traffic and the utility
easement. The College is willing to sign immediately the utility easement, but not the temporary easement along the
northern edge of their property. Jim stated that the College believes the road is not needed and they are still
negotiating with Centra Care and do not want the road to be an issue. As an alternative the College is willing to
incorporate a temporary easement along with the utility easement. I discussed this matter with Bob and Rick and
they would make accommodations for such. As of this memo I have not discussed the information with Joe
Bettendorf.
On Thursday afternoon I have a scheduled meeting with Jim Fredricks and Sue Palmer to try and negotiate the
northern access. John, Joe and Larry will be attending the meeting as well. We will update the Council after the
meeting.

with condemnation. If an agreement can't be reached on the College's

good terms with the College and may have better leverage later to negotiate a favorable
deal.
Disadvantages: Issue is not totally resolved. No firm agreement as to who pays for the
road or the improvements (although we would not get that now).
Other Issue.. .Developers contribution toward road costs.
One suggestion would be to establish an escrow fund to hold funds contributed by the
developer as the land is developed. An agreed upon amount per acre is contributed to the
fund as the final plats are approved. The money would be applied to the road and utilities
to the extent not covered from other sources. If the road is not built with 7 years, the
money is returned to the developer.

Re:Graceview Access
Earlier today we met with representatives ±Tom the College of St. Benedict to discuss
acquisition of the access road along Kennedy School as well as the utility easements on
the south edge of their property. They were of the position that they would grant the
utility easement and temporary construction access only if the City abandoned the
concept of a road along Kennedy. The temporary access road would be on the south edge
of their property. After some discussions, S1. Ben's softened their position somewhat and
would be agreeable to tenns similar to the following:
1. The City would not commence eminent domain proceeding s to acquire the
Kennedy access road for a period of at least two years.
.- 2. The College would gran~ennanent utility easement and a temporary
construction access easement along the south edge of their property.
3. During the next two years, the College and City will work together to try to find a
location for the Kennedy access road that will fit the development plans of the
College. The road will link with Graceview at the location shown on the
preliminary plat.
4. The costs associated with the road and utilities will be assessed to S1. Bens based
upon their use to the improvements. Hook-up fees will be consistent with City
policy. If the College doesn't want the road in two years, the City can proceed
with condemnation. If an agreement can't be reached on the College's
. contribution to the project costs, the City reserves the right to assess as
appropriate.
Advantages: We are no worse off than we are now. If things aren't cleared up within
two years, the City can condemn and assess. If the meantime, as the Colleges decides
what to do with their property, we may be able to reach an agreement that will avoid
those issues. Since the road will probably not be constructed until the second phase is
built, the delay does not adversely affect the City. In the meantime, the City remains on
good tenns with the College and may have better leverage later to negotiate a favorable
deal.
Disadvantages: Issue is not totally resolved. No finn agreement as to who pays for the
road or the improvements (although we would not get that now).
Other Issue. . . Developers contribution toward road costs.
One suggestion would be to establish an escrow fund to hold funds contributed by the
developer as the land is developed. An agreed upon amount per acre is contributed to the
fund as the final plats are approved. The money would be applied to the road and utilities
to the extent not covered from other sources. If the road is not built with 7 years, the
money is returned to the developer.

MEMO TO: Mayor Hosch, Council Members, City Administrator Weyrens
FROM: Joanne Foust & Cynthia Smith-Strack, Municipal Development Group
RE: Economic Development Report - February, 2002
Municipal Development Group has been interacting with a number of prospects throughout the
past month. Following is a summary of activities that have transpired. If you have any
questions on any of these or other projects, please do not hesitate to contact us at 952-758-
7399.
Business Prospects have been identified by a project number to protect the confidentiality of the
businesses.
Project 01-Ä:
The company has been considering the construction or leasing of a newly constructed 65,000
square foot building in St. Joseph Business Park. The project was discussed in detail at a
. meeting with the Company, City representatives and Construction Contractor representatives
on February 13th. The Company proposes the leasing of a building constructed by an LLC from
the area. Local financial incentives are being sought to lower the lease price. The Company
plans on creating 15 new jobs paying an estimated $16/hour. A preliminary application for the
use of Tax Increment Financing to assist the project in moving forward was approved by the
EDA and the City Council. The prospect intends to move into the new building in December of
2002.
Project 01-F:
This prospect is working with a local commercial brokerage to secure a parcel for the
th
development of a fast food restaurant. MDG contacted the realtor on February 26 for an
update on the status of the project. MDG's assistance in reviewing possible locations for the
development was requested. Information on a possible location was shared. Additional review
by MDG was requested.
Project 01-1:
This company is proposing the construction of a 12,000 square foot facility on approximately 5
acres in St. Joseph Business Park in the spring of 2002. On January 22, 31 and February 5,
2002, MDG left messages checking with the owner to see if the site plan would be ready the
next week. The Developer responded indicating the site plan would not be prepared for review
in conjunction with a request for a lot split by the March meeting of the Planning Commission.
The Developer indicated the proposed 12,000 sf facility is being enlarged and revised plans will
be available for review at the April Planning Commission meeting.
Project 01-0:
This company is considering the construction of a 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility in
St. Joseph Business Park. On January 31, 2002 MDG left a message for the contractor for the
. project. On February 5th MDG left a message for one of the owners regarding status of the
project and any assistance we could provide to assist in the coordination of the project. On
February 19, 2002 a representative for the prospect phoned MDG. The representative

Jeff Schlingman of the Partnership contacted MDG on December 28th and noted they have an
inquiry for a 5-7 acre industrial lot for a 60,000 square foot tip-up-concrete facility with an
estimated 55 employees. He requested a letter outlining available lots, land and assessment
costs and incentives available, by January 2, 2002. MDG prepared a location map and letter
and sent it to the Partnership on December 28th. After several follow-ups as indicated in
previous Council reports, MDG contacted Mr. Schlingman to inquire as to the status of the
project and to confirm whether or not the prospect was DBL/MCO. Mr. Schlingman indicated
the name of the prospect had not been disclosed and the City of St. Joseph had not been ruled
out as a site. MDG contacted the Partnership on February 26th to check the status of the
project. Mr. Schlingman indicated St. Joseph had been ruled out as a possible location.
Project 02-Ä

the building adjacent to the laundromat and provided the information to the contact. On
February 22, 2002 MDG received a call from the prospect representative requesting additional
follow up with the owners of the parcel of interest. MDG followed up and left a message for the
owner of the parcel.
Project 02-8
This contact previously contacted MDG noting they are looking for a highway commercial site
and need assistance in compiling demographic data on the city. A follow-up phone call was
initiated on January 31,2002.
. Project 02-C
The business owner saw the sign in the St. Joseph Business Park and called for more
information regarding lot sizes, prices and zoning or covenant regulations. This is a small
manufacturer looking for agproximately 2 acres. Lot prices, assessments and covenants were
discussed. On February 5 MDG left a message offering to meet to review the information sent
or provide additional assistance.
Project 02-E
This contact currently owns and operates a business in St. Cloud. The contact is considering
the construction of a facility primarily industrial in nature with some showroom space in the St.
Joseph area. On February 15th MDG returned a hone call to the prospect. Issues identified
