approximately 320 acres. The entire area is guided for industrial use in the comprehensive plan, however
several acres include large massings of old growth trees, wetlands and rolling topography more
conducive to alternate land uses.
Strack indicated MDG, Inc. was looking for input from the EDA Board on how they wished to approach
the development of a future industrial park. Options included: development of a future park by a private
individual; the pursuit of a public/private partnership to develop a portion of the property into an industrial
park; or, purchase and development of a portion of the property by the EDAlCity.
The EDA indicated they wished to pursue further investigation of costs/issues associated with the
purchase of a portion of the property for development as an industrial park. Extenuating circumstances
include: land price, cost of utility installation, future roadway corridors due to intersect the area and
funding options. MDG will research cost of utility installation, placement of future roadway corridors and
land price for the next meeting.

matching up to 50% of the cost of utility/infrastructure installation in industrial parks. Strack also noted

DATE: April 14, 2004
MEMO TO: St. Joseph Economic Development Authority and City Council
Administrdtor FROM: Joanne Foust & Cynthia Smith-Strack, Municipal Development Group
Judy Weyrens
RE: Future Industrial Park
MdYor
Ldrry I. Hosch Background Discussions:
Councilors The Economic Development Authority has been researching the development of an additional
industrial park in St. Joseph. MDG, Inc. has been in contact with representatives of the "Feld
AI Rdssier Property" for the past several months. The entire property includes six parcels and
Ross Rieke approximately 320 acres. At the February 18, 2004 EDA meeting Board Members indicated
Gdry Utsch they wished to pursue further investigation of costs/issues associated with the purchase of a
portion of the property for development as an industrial park. Extenuating circumstances
Odle Wick include: land price, cost of utility installation, future roadway corridors due to intersect the area
and funding options. MDG was asked to research cost of utility installation, placement of future
roadway corridors and land price for the next meeting.
. MDG, Inc. representatives met with representatives of the trust on March 3, 2004 to discuss the
availability of acreage for sale to the City/EDA, sales price and timeline for sale of the property.
Representatives of the trust indicated an interest in selling the property to the City as well as a
need to research sales pricing structure with other members of the trust. They have since
indicated a verv preliminarv price of $25,000 per acre, but are currently refining the price.
Improvements:
MDG also met with the City Engineer to discuss utility and right-of-way installation to the
westernmost parcel adjacent to CSAH 133, or the westernmost % to % of said 80-acre parcel.
The City Engineer illustrated a preferred route for the extension of a northern collector through
the property and the eventual need for the extension of 88th Avenue to the north. Additional
information regarding utility installation costs is enclosed.
The City Council on March 22nd authorized $10,000 for the completion of a feasibility study for
the industrial park. This is from the general fund (not EDA fund). S.E.H has examined a project
area which includes approximately 120 acres. Cost of improvements is estimated at $2.614
million, excluding site grading or approximately $22,000 per improved acre. A copy of the
report is attached for your information.
If requested, the project area could be further refined to include only the first phase which would
include the area directly adjacent to the proposed extension of 88th Street (proposed to be
renamed 20th Avenue) and exclude the wooded area to the north. If the wooded area was
preserved and an east-west roadway not included it is estimated cost per acre may be within
the $18,000 - $20,000 range.
Financing:
Representatives from the trust also indicated a desire to investigate a contract for deed versus
. conventional sale. According to the City Attorney the City/EDA is able to enter into a contract
for deed providing the maximum term is for five years. If the contracted amount exceeds
.24177% of the City's assessed market value (in this case $237,185.46) special rules apply

. including the publishing of a notice of intent to purchase and the right of the public to request a
vote on the issue.
MDG phoned the City Financial Consultant to determine whether or not improvement bonds
could be issued for a project that includes land subject to a contract for deed and to discuss
other financing options for the purchase of property. The Financial Consultant suggested
discussing improvement bond/contract for deed issue with bond counsel. The City Financial
Consultant also indicated that if a TIF bond was to be issued for the purchase of real estate a
maximum of ten pèrcent of the property within an economic development district could be
owned by the Authority issuing said TIF bonds.
Transportation Access:
SEH Engineering has developed four alternative road alignments for the County Road 2,
County Road 3, Field Street and North extension to County Road 133. The City Council will be
reviewing the layouts at their April 22, 2004 meeting and providing the City Engineer with input
on their proposed alignment. Additional information regarding this subject is expected to be
distributed at the EDA meeting in preparation for a joint EDAlCC meeting on April 28th.
School Site Search:
A St. Cloud School District 742 committee is researching various sites in the community for a
new high school. One of the possible sites includes a portion of the Feld Property. The School
District has expressed concerned about high voltage transmission lines in the vicinity as well as
adjacent industrial uses.
Public vs Private Industrial Park:
Given the aforementioned information it appears the EDA would likely be unable to develop a
public industrial park independently and/or without grant assistance. In addition, it appears the
. provision of services (Le. water from north, sanitary sewer from south) makes phasing of the
project difficult. Therefore, it would appear the most realistic approach is probably either a
private development or some form of a public/private partnership.
The property owners have indicated they have been contacted by a perspective developer who
indicated a level of interest in developing the property provided assessments could be limited to
around $15,000 per acre.
In addition, on April 7, 2004 a private development group expressed an interest in working with
the EDAlCity on the development of additional commercial/industrial plats. They have
indicated they would be interested in researching the feasibility of purchasing land and
developing an industrial park.
A third individual contacted the City Administrator regarding the development of an industrial
park. The City Administrator encouraged the individual to meet with staff on April 14,2004. At
the time the drafting of this memo the individual had not contacted EDA staff.
Interim Plan:
Given the likely scope of project it would appear the actual development of salable lots at the
Feld site is probably not achievable in a condensed timeframe. As of the date of this memo it is
estimated only two three-acre lot remains available within Buettner Business Park.
As you may be aware SKN/Borgert Properties owns approximately 11 .36 acres of industrial
property south of Elm Street adjacent to 19th Avenue. MDG met with Ms. Sue Borgert on April
14,2004 to discuss the status of the property, re-subdivision and possible interest in marketing
the property.
.
lL{
.
1.35 acre lots
Several issues pertaining to the possible re-subdivision were addressed including: future
extension of Elm Street and/or what in previous plats was referred to as "305th Street"; status of
utilities for the three southeasterly lots; and, facilitation of the platting process. MDG will meet
with the City Engineer prior to the EDA meeting to discuss the status of "305th Street" and utility
extension to the southeasterly lots. An update will be provided.
. Request for EDA input:
The EDA has indicated the development of additional industrial lots is a top priority for 2004.
Input from the EDA on how the Board wishes to proceed is requested. As noted at the
February meeting, the state currently has a Business Development Infrastructure Program with
funds to assist with 50% of the costs of new industrial park infrastructure. MDG will monitor
pending legislation to see if this program is funded again in 2004.
If the EDA would like to have a private developer work with the Prom family, MDG will put
attempt to put the two groups in contact. If the EDA wishes to continue to pursue the
development as an EDA owned park, this directive is requested to be confirmed. If the EDA
wishes to further explore a public-private partnership appropriate steps can be further defined.
