RE: Proposed Amendment: Buettner· Business Park Covenants ADMINISTRATOR Judy Weyrens Request: MAYOR Leo Buettner, owner of 72,38% of the land, by square footage, in Buettner Business Park Larry J, Hosch (a.k.a.Buettner Business Park) has submitted the enclosed request for the EDNs consideration, Mr. Buettner is requesting the EDA approve an amendment to the Protective COUNCILORS Covenants to allow the minimum industrial lot size to be reduced from 3,0 acres to 2,25 Bob Loso - acres, Cory EWert Kyle Schneider Background Alan Rassiet Section 1 .05 of the Covenants require 70% of all property owners, by square footage, to sign off on any proposed amendment. Also, during the initial ten (1 Q) years of the covenants, which were originally developed in 1999, the EDA must also approve of the amendment. According to Exhibit A of the Covenants, the following lots are included in the Covenants: Lot 1, Block 1 8.430 acres Owned by Leo Buettner Lot 1, Block 2 8,000 acres Owned by St. Joe Development, LLC Lot 1, Block 2 9.343 acres Owned by Leo Buettner .

Block 1 10,03 acres Owned by Leo Buettner Total 38.413 acres Owned by Mr. Buettner: 27.803 or 72.38% Prior to the November 20, 2002 meeting, a development prospect wishing to remain confidential, requested the Economic Development staff query the EDA on a cursory basis regarding the amendment of the Buettner Business Park Covenants to include a small lot size, The specific size mentioned was two acres. At that time staff indicated three contacts had expressed interest in smaller lots. Since that time circumstances surrounding the purchase of several parcels in the Buettner Business Park have changed, Mr. Buettner and the development prospect are now formally asking the EDA to consider approving the amendment the Protective Covenants to set the minimum lot size at 2,25 acres, rather than the current three (3) acre minimum. Mr. Buettner will be present at the meeting to answer questions. The business prospect may also be present. Mr. Buettner has reviewed how· this may affect lot lines, access points/driveway entrances, etc. Mr, Buettner was also planning to meet with other owners of land within the business park, prior to the EDA meeting. Action If the EDA is supportive of the amendment requested, a MOTION is in order to formally approve the request to amend Section 1.03 Alteration of Lines to allow a minimum 2,25 acre industrial lot, and to direct staff to draft the amendment for recording purposes, If the EDA is not supportive a MOTION to deny the request is in order. . /I December 10, 2002 .

The Protective Covenants indicate that the minimum lot size allowed for industrial parcels is 3,0 acres, As the owner of the majority of the land within the Industrial Park, I am requesting the EDA approve an amendment to the Covenants to allow lots to be no less than 2,25 acres in size. Following is the existing and proposed language: Existing: Section 1.03 Alteration of lot lines. "Subdivision: An owner of a lot may subdivide a lot into two separate parcels, but may only by following and complying with the rules and regulations established by the City of S1.

Per Section 1,05 of the Covenants, "70% of the Property Owners as measured by the square footage of the buildable lots contained within the Buettner Busienss Park" must sign the amendment. Also, "During the initial ten (10) years of these covenants, any amendment must also be approved by t he EDA to be effective". I respectfully request approval by the EDA at your next meeting.

Kubisiak Special to the Times Every day, important confidential documents pass through Jeff Ramler's hands, Then they are destroyed. Ramler is a paper shredder and owner of St. Cloud's Safeshred. Originally from Sartell, Ramler graduated from the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth with a degree in business management in 1992, after which he traveled to Pittsburgh, Pa., to research different businesses. "I wanted to start out of college, but I didn't have the money," Ramler said. After being exposed to different businesses and assessing the economic climate of the St. Cloud area, Ramler made a decision. "There weren't a lot of services in the area handling the destruction of documents, so I thought St. Cloud would be a good market for it," Ramler said. "A service was needed and there was the potential for growth." · So in 1997, Ramler formed the business that today bears the motto: "Confidentiality is our business. " Safe place to shred The hardest part about getting started, said Ramler, was advertising. "It could be difficult to convince business and organizations that they needed a service like this," he said. In addition to Ramler, Safeshred employs two part-time shredders. They start their workday in the morning, picking up papers throughout Central Minnesota, then spend the afternoon shredding papers in the warehouse. Although Ramler can provide on-site shredding services, he said about 99 percent of his clients opt for warehouse shredding, which is less expensive. Ramler has about 150 clients in the area. "Shredding on site, we can shred about one thousand pounds of paper per hour," Ramler said. "At the warehouse, we can shred between two to 3,000 pounds of paper per hour." After the paper is shredded and baled, it is recycled. Privacy protection · The need for an appropriate method of document disposal became more imminent in 1999 . after Bill Clinton signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. "Financial institutions became required to respect the privacy of their customers and protect the security of those customers' nonpublic documents," Ramler said. "Paper shredding was a way of doing that. " Other legislation that heightened the necessity for a paper shredding industry was the signing of the Health Insurance Portability Act in 1996, which protected the privacy and security of medical documents. Although financial and medical institutions are two popular employers of paper shredders, they aren't the only businesses who have caught on to the trend. "Really, the majority of businesses with clients and secure documents should have their papers shredded," Ramler said. "Professionals, firms and businesses all use shredders to dispose of product and client information. " According to Ramler, the Enron scandal earlier this year also helped to spread awareness in the use and abuse of paper shredding. "People are becoming more concerned about their personal information, issues are even arising with mailing things like account numbers," Ramler said. . Specialty services While the need for paper shredders seems more prevalent in today's business world where private documents are constantly trading hands, Safeshred is not limited to paper products. "We can do microfilm, microfiche, video tapes and computer disks," Ramler said. "We can destroy all of those things even with the metal fasteners, rubber bands and paper clips still on." Ramler anticipates that Minnesota will follow in the steps of states such as Wisconsin and California that require the mandatory destruction of confidential information, "I can foresee similar legislation for Minnesota in a few years," Ramler said, Whatever is in the future for the state, Ramler said, currently, paper shredding is the convenient, cost-effective route to security, and security is Ramler's main objective. "We want to provide customers with the security of knowing their information remains confidential with Safeshred bonded and secure employees doing the work," Ramler said . . .,-'" .
