FROM: Joanne Foust & C~ht1ã Smith-Strack, Municipal Development Group
Judy Weyrens
RE: Future Industrial Park
MdYor Background
Lðrry J. Hosch MDG, Inc. has been in contact with representatives of the "Feld Property" for the past several
months. MDG has met with representatives of the estate on several occasions. The entire
Councilors property includes six parcels and approximately 320 acres. MDG staff have toured the property
AI Rðssier with the owners. Copies of the parcel information on file at the Stearns County Assessor's
Ross Rieke Office are attached. An aerial photograph of the property is attached.
Gdry Utsch Land Suitability
Odic Wick The St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan guides a significant portion of the northeastern quadrant of
the City's joint annexation area toward future industrial expansion. Upon walking the property it
appears the land immediately east of the current industrial park (40 - 80 acres) is suitable for
industrial development. The land farther to the north; however, contains a number of large
trees, wetlands and has a rolling topography which may be more conducive to large lot
.. residential development. In addition, St. Cloud School District has expressed interest in 40 - 60
acres adjacent to CSAH 133.
Development of the Land
The property owners have been meeting with legal counsel regarding the property for several
months. The property owners have agreed to sell the property, however, they wish to sell it on
a parcel by parcel basis rather than in one lump sum. They prefer not to be involved with the
platting and development of the land but would like to sell the land to a developer to coordinate
the process.
Request for EDA input:
The EDA has indicated the development of additional industrial lots is a top priority for 2004.
The EDA likely has three options available:
1. Provide technical support as requested to assist in the development of the property
by a private person. Least risk/least control.
2. Provide technical support and financial assistance to assist in the development of
the property as a public/private partnership. Medium risk/medium control.
3. Purchase the property and develop the park as a public project. Most risk/most
control.
Other items to consider are:
. Nature of park: 'business park' (e.g. businesses which provide and may combine
office, corporate headquarters, research, light assembly, commercial recreation and
. storage within a building shell) and/or 'industrial park' (e.g. existing zoning
standards) .
2.) College Avenue North' PO /)ox 668 . Saint. Joseph. Minnesotd )6,74
Phonc 12. 0,1 b, ·72. 0 I, '-1 I:d x 12.0,,6,.0142.
j --.
i-'
. Opportunity created by Greater Minnesota Business Development Infrastructure
Grant Program. .
. Review of timeframe and/or interim plan.
MDG requests input from the EDA on the aforementioned items.

M Following is information regarding a possible cost sharing grant program for the improvement
ayor of industrial acreage. The grant program is only available to Cities andlor EDA's and funds
Ldrry j. Hosch up to 50% of infrastructure costs (water, sewer, stormwater, rights-of-way). The funding is
limited and applications are reviewed and scored on a points basis. A minimum of 200 of 240
Councilors points must be scored for a project to be eligible for a grant. Grant applications can be
AI R' submitted for either of two reasons: (1) Provide infrastructure to an industrial park with no
dSSler current businesses planning to build in the next year, or (2) In conjunction with the
Ross Rieke new/expanded development providing the project doesn't involve relocation of jobs from other
Gary Utsch areas in Minnesota. The most competitive applications meet the following criteria:

1. (# of jobs created/retained * 10,000) > amount of grant
2. Request < $501,000

. The current legislative appropriation for this program was $7,500,000. Of that, roughly $1.2
million remains. The BDIP Program Administrator (Lowell Johnson at DEED) indicates that

likely receive reallocation if proposed legislation to replenish the program is introduced.
