Update: Southern Collector Corridor Study
Rieke introduced the agenda item. Strack informed the Board that the technical advisory committee .
(TAC) meeting scheduled for Wednesday, May 11th was cancelled in order to allow Corridor Study
Consultant WSB Engineering an opportunity to compiie comments received at a public open house held
on April 28th. Strack noted a few hundred persons attended the public open house held at the Fire Hall.
Those attending were able to speak directiy with WSB consultants regarding altematives identified up to
this point.
Carfbom asked other Board Members if they had received a copy of an alternative route Ylhich '1I1as being
cinculated by a group within the community. The alternative route which was not identified within the Field
Street Corridor Study as a potential alternative, reportedly involved the use of Jade Avenue to route traffic
to the frontage road on the southern side of 1-94 and back to CSAH 2. Some other Commissioners
commented that they had received a copy.
Strack stated the proposed purpose of the Field Street extension ......-as to provide a collector street function
in the southern portion of the community. Collector streets are typically spaced at Yz mile increments so
as to collect traffic from local streets and funnel them to other collector and/or arter'.a! roadv.-ays. Strack
stated the southem collector ......-as to relieve congestion on Minnesota street and service anticipated
commencial and industrial developments in the expanåed annexation area between CSAH 2, CSAH 75
_ and 191. --GaI'JOOm-ex¡:¡ressed a-œncernthat property owners.-aGjasennsCMÞI 2-anä-"'JitÀinthe
expanded annexation area would likely not sell any property.
Mn. Design Team Foliow-Up.
Rieke introduced the topic. Strack reminded the Board that at the previous EDA meeting they discussed
a development group's inquiry regarding a market study for downtown. The market study would detail the
demand for mixed use facilities (retail street level, professional office space, housing component) along
with the types of retail venues which may be preferable for the downtown. At the April meeting, the EDA
concurred the concept of a market study shouid be discussed by a newly formed downtDwn ccmmiti.ee.
.
Strack also noted the Board requested EDA staff review historic files and report on goals identified during
the downtown visit and resulting progress made toward said goais. MDG has pulled laminatad
sketches/plans created by the Design Team and offered them for Commissioner review. The Design
Team visit was over one decade ago and sholll.'5 signs of being well implemented in certain aspects but
somewhat outdated in other aspects.
Director's Report.
Strack referred to the prospect listlactivity report outlining communication with various contacts that was
included in the EDA packet. Carfbom asked about the status of updating the DehlerlLinneman buiiding.
Strack noted the new property owners had secured an archite...'iural advisor and were expected to

FROM:
Joanne Foust & Cynthia Smith-Strack, Municipal Development Group
RE: Request for Tax Increment Financing Assistance - Midnight Haulers, Inc. i
i
,
Request: 1
Midnight Haulers, Inc. has submitted a pre-àpplication for Tax Increment Financing assistance
for the construction of a 20,986, (140' X 149.9') square foot addition to' a
warehouse/distribution facility located at 828 19th Avenue NE. A copy of the T1F Pre-
Application is attached for your review. . Representatives of the company will be present to
C1i-,&-werqbesfioriStt:Hcudil ïy tll~ptelinii"C11 ÿd.þpHcatiulï.
Background: i
The project consists of the construction 'of a 20,986 sJ. addition to an existing facility. Aisite
plan and cost estimate for the single-story warehouse facility are attached for your information.
,
i
Pay-as-you-go economic development TIF assistance is requested in order to help the project
move forward. The Company has provided the EDA with a statement regarding the necessity
of TIF. The company stated expansion at the St. Joseph facility will not move forward
"because the taxes would provide a more economical, reasonable, yearly overhead cost. . i
Qualifying projects within Economic Development Districts include warehousing, storage; and
distribution of tangibie personal property, (excluding retail sales) providing the EDAlCity finds
the use of TIF to be in the public interest because: I
1. It will discourage commerce, industry, or manufacturing from moving their operations
to another state or municipality; or '
2. It will result in increased employment in the state; or
i
I
I - I
The applicant represents a total of thirteen (13) new jobs with wages between $11.00 and
$18.20 per hour, not including benefits will be created as a result of the expansion. I
Preliminary TIF Application Requirements: i
The following are required to be submitted with the preliminary application for TIF assistance:
3. It will result in preservation and enhancement of the tax base of the state.
¡
1. A map showing the exact boundaries of the proposed development. A site plan is
attached which illustrates the pr()pc~ed 20,986 sf warehouse addition. .
2. A General description of the project including the following: i
. Size and IDeation of building(s); The existing structure is 63,834.92 kquare

controlled. The addition will have sidewalls of Z3 feet in height, a loading
dock with two doors and a cement fioar throughout .
· Business type and use; The business operation involves wholesale
warehousing and distribution. Type of land use is industrial in nature and
allowed in the current zoning class for the subject parcel The proposed use
is a pennitted use within the industrial district.
. Traffic information, including parking; Additional parking facilities are proposed
in conjunction with the expansion. The Planning Commission is expected
to review the site plan at its June meeting. The EDA does. not have
jurisdiction over parking lots.
. Timing of project; The applicant wishes to proceed with the expansion on a
timely basis. The project can not commence until, if approved, a TIF
agreement is signed. Commencement of any construction activity prior to
the signing of a TfF agreement wilf void any/af/ increment available to the
project and therefore, the employment of tax increment financing.
· Estimated market value following project completion. FEDA staff have consulted
with the County Assessor following receipt of plans forthe expansion. Staff
requested more infonnation regarding the expansion on behalf of the

written explanation of why TiF development would not occur with oUt TiF
assistance). Additional information has been requested of the applicant. I
,
b. But-For Test. The pre-application requires the developer to submit a statement
identifying how the increment will be uses and why it is needed to complete the
project. The applicant has submitted a written statement to the City noting
without TIF the project would not move forward "because the taxes ;would

Appropriateness of TlF:
Attached is the "Grading and Report Card for TIP'. The proposed proje=t received a
composite score of '3.38' meaning it ¡san 'average' use of tax increment financing.
.
Estimated TIF avaiiable:
Northland Securities is available to prepare proje=ted tax in;:rement cash fiaw figures based
on certain assumptions if the preliminary application is approved. Preiiminary estimated
market value information is expected from the County Assessor's Office prior to the EDA
meeting, however, has not been supplied as of yet An update will be provided at the meeting.
To summarize the information, tax in;:rements are based on three fa::tors:
. Estimated increase in market value - the difference between pre-project and post-
project market value as determined by the County P.ssessor (this is not
necessarily equal to project cost).
. Tax capacity - In;:rease in market value multiplied by property tax class rate
(Commercialllndustrial property taxed at a rate of 1.5% for the first $200,000 in
value and 2% for portions of the value exceeding $200,000).
· Net tax capacity multiplied by the City's property tax rate - 159.22209% minus
State share (51.121%).
The gross tax increment available is subject to a State Auditor reduction of 0.25% and a City
administration fee of 10%. The net annual tax increment is available for ¡Ise as a financial
incentive to development The net annual tax increment is collected for a finite period of lime
and includes the school district, county and City portions of new taxes generated.
Action:
If the EDA is supportive of utilizing TIF for this project, a MOTION is in order to approve the
pre-application and authorize submittal of the final application and fee. Tne services of
Northland Securities, the City's Finan;:ial Advisor, are avai!ab1e to prepare ti1e TlF Plan.

Field Street Study
Questions and Answers
After considering many of the comments from the April 28, 2005 public meetings there
appears to be many questions and misconceptIons regarding the Field Street project
study. .
1. Why is Field Street being proposed?
A new east-west local collector in the southern portion of St. Joseph, known as Field
Street, is being proposed to address the following transportation issues:
A. The traffic volumes on Minnesota Street are forecasted to increase from 5,600
vehicles per day today to 8,500 vehicles per day by 2030. Minnesota Street is
currently a two-lane facility through a primarily residential area with parking and
many closely spaced private driveways: As traffic continues to grow on this road,
accessing Minnesota Street from these private driveways as well as public streets
will become more and more difficult.
B. A lack of east/west collector roads in St. Joseph south of Minnesota Street. As St.
Joseph continues to grow south of Minnesota Street, collector roads are necessary to
prevent higher volumes of traffic from driving through neighborhood streets to
reach higher level roads or business centers. A collector system provides
connections between neighborhoods, from neighborhoods to minor business
concentrations, and from neighborhoods to higher level roads (e.g. arterials). In a
developing area collectors should be spaced one-halfto one mile apart.
C. Improve access to the campus of the College of St. Benedict. Currently the access
to St. Ben's campus is from Minnesota Street and College Avenue. As traffic
continues to increase on both of these ·roads more conflict will occur between
pedestrians crossing College and Minnesota and vehicles accessing the campus or
destined to other locations east of campus.
2. Why is Field Street being considered through the College and Monastery
property?
As St. Joseph develops commercially to the west and residentially along this corridor to
the south, traffic will increase at various intersections on Minnesota Street. Commercial
and industrial development is anticipated near Interstate 94 (1-94) and County State Aid
Highway (CSAH) 2 within the next 25 years. Even with a small percentage of
commercial/industrial development near 1-94 and CSAH 2, the traffic volumes at the i
main intersection of College Ave. and Minnesota St. would increase significantly. It is I
anticipated that the traffic volume growth at this intersection would increase by 72% if no I
transportation improvements in the Field Street corridor are made. This increase assumes i
that a CSAH 2 to CSAH 3 bypass is constructed. If Field Street were constructed from .
College Avenue to 20th Avenue to the east, the increase in traffic at Minnesota and
College is still anticipated to be 33%. By providing a connection from
CSAH :Z/Minnesota Street to College Avenue, an alternative route is provided for
residential development in the southern portion of St. Joseph to reach the future
.
.
Page 1 of 4
May 31, 2005 i
.. C"
commercial and industrial development near 1-94. Providing this new connection reduces
the traffic increase on the College A venue/Minnesota Street intersection to only 7%.
Providing a connection between College Avenue and CSAH 2 through St. Ben's and
Monastery properties also provides an alternative transit coIridor to the St. John's
campus. The proposed Field Street connection would connect into the proposed CSAH 2
bypass to CSAH 3.
The City of St. Joseph is not proposing to develop the College or Monastery properties.
3. Why not add an interchange on Interstate 94 at Jade Road or County Road 138
to accommodate southern development in St. Joseph and reIieve traffic on
Minnesota Street?
An interchange at Jade Road was considered as an alternative for Field Street through the
Monastery and College properties to accommodate southern development in St. Joseph
and alleviate traffic demands on Minnesota Street. The St. Cloud Area Planning
Organization CAPO) travel demand model was used to test such a scenario. The model
indicated approximately 80% of the traffic in St Joseph is destined to St. Ooud.
-Therefore, providing another access to 1-94 does not solve the traffic demand on
Minnesota Street since the interstate is not the primary destination nor the preferred route
to St. Cloud. However, new commercial and industrial development near CSA...If 2 and
1-94 would be an attraction that draws some St. Joseph traffic away from St. Cloud.
4. Why not provide a connection from County Road 121 to Trunk Highway 23 to
accommodate southern development in St. Joseph and relieve traffic on
Minnesota Street?
A connection from County Road 121 to TH 23 was considered as an alternative for Field
Street through the Monastery and College properties to accommodate southern
development in St. Joseph and alleviate traffic demands on Minnesota Street. Tnis
scenario was also tested in the APO travel demand model. This alternative does provide
an alternative connection for traffic in the southern portion of St. Joseph to reach St.
Cloud. However, it does not provide a connection to the area near 1-94 and CSAH 2
where future commercial and industrial development potential exists. Even if a small
percentage of this area develops the traffic levels are anticipated to grow dramatically at
the intersection of Minnesota Street and College Avenue. A new connection between
County Road 121 and TH 23 does not provide the extent of traffic volume relief at
Minnesota and College as the proposed Field Street.
5. What role does the City have in advancing the proposal?
The City of St. Joseph is the government unit responsible for comprehensive planning.
As part of their comprehensive planning effort, the City is responsible for land use
planning and promoting and sustaining an affordable transportation network including,
local, county and state roadways and amenities. The City has obtained feàeral funds for
studying and completing an Environmental Assessment for the Field Street coIridor. The
City also anticipates adopting an official map for Field Street as a result of this study.
.
.
6. Has an environmental study occurred?
Page 2 of 4
May 31,2005
.
-.'.' i
"u
.
A federal Environmental Assessment will be completed for this study.
7. When will Field Street be constructed?
Field Street will be constructed as development occurs in the southern portions of St.
Joseph. Construction dates have not been determined.
8. What is the role ofWSB & Associates, Inc.?
The City hired WSB & Associates, Inc. to complete the corridor study, environmental
analysis, and official map for Field Street.
9. Will Field Street cause safety problems due to high speeds and multiple lanes?
By definition Field Street will serve as a local col1ector road which provides a
transportation facility for traffic from St. Joseph neighborhoods to other higher function
roadways or minor bnsiness centers. It is not a rural, high speed, multi lane highway
carrying regional traffic. The character of the proposed roadway will be influenced by the
character of terrain, density and character of existing and/or future adjacent land uses,
traffic volumes expected to use the facility, and other environmental and economic
cons1deratIons. Since mostoftlieTallit use adjacent to the comctor 1S antic1pated to
change to higher density residential, a lower speed facility, 40 mph preferably but
ultimately established by Mn/DOT, is appropriate. .No more than two thru lanes (one
each direction) are warranted on Field Street based on forecast 2030 traffic volumes.
Due to the proposed and existing adjacent land uses along Field Street, solutions for
accommodating bicycle and pedestrian traffic will al1 be considered along with vehicle
~c. .
.
10. Is the purpose of Field Street to spur development?
Field Street is a collector roadway that would accommodate future development in the
southern portion of St. Joseph. Development is occurring in the proposed Field Street
corridor (e.g. Graceview Estates, Pond View Ridge 6) as wel1 as south of the cmridor
(e.g. approved Rivers Bend development) and is expected to continue. As the City
grows, its col1ector roadway system will grow to accommodate the increase in traffic. It
is not anticipated to construct Field Street until development presents a need.
11. Is commercial development in place or interested? If so who are they?
The City's long term orderly annexation agreement with St. Joseph Township and the
City's future land use map guide certain areas within the CSAH 2 corridor to commercial
development of a high quality nature. Interest in development has existed in the past and
is present at this time; however, official requests have not been filed with the City and are
therefore not public infonnation at this rime. When or if official requests for
development approval are filed the information will be released to the public.
12. Why develop commerciallyrmdusmally near CSAH 2 and 1-94?
CommerciaI and industrial development is necessary to balance the tax revenue needed
for services required by residential developments. Commercial and industrial
development also reduces commuting and travel lengths by providing jobs and services
for residential development within the City.

I-94's function as a principal arterial is appropriate for commercial and inàustrialland
use since it provides a facility that promotes mobility, visibility, and the transport of
goods. CSAH 2's function as a minor arterial does the same but compliments the
interstate by providing additional access for these types of development while
maintaining mobility. Residential development near theSe types of facilities is not a
desirable land use due to traffic noise, heavy commercial truck traffic, and the lack of
access between communities and neighborhoods.
