i
I
At the JaniJary EDA meeting the Board directed MDG, Inc. to bring information to the February meeting
regarding lurrent zoning and existing land use in the CSAH 75 corridor in the vicinity of C. ollege Avenue.
The agen.r item was tabled at the February meeting and carried over to the March meeting.
Strack noted that permitted and special uses within the B-2 District allow for a diverse mix of retail and
service establishments but do not allow residential uses as the corridor is in transition from primarily
residentiallto primarily business. It is the goal of the City to develop a continues pattern of complimentary
land uses adjacent to the corridor that are dependent on high volumes of vehicular traffic and ()f an

intensity that's compatible with close proximity to an arterial roadway. The EDA was discussing the
corridor so as to entertain discussion related to the unique challenges/opportunities presented to
development/redevelopment projects in the corridor. Strack noted some items to consider included: (1)
level of financial assistance offered to establishments conducting redevelopment efforts of a sizable
scale; (2) participation by the EDA in master planning the corridor and/or (3) participation by EDA in
securing first right of refusals for individual properties as a means of assisting with the combining of
smaller lots into one larger lot more conducive to commercial development.
The EDA discussed CSAH 75 development constraints and noted access, the number of property
owners, lack of second tier development, haphazard uses and zoning contributed to difficulty in
redeveloping the CSAH 75 corridor in the vicinity of College Avenue.
EDA Board Members then focused discussion on what may/may not be appropriate levels of participation
in spurring redevelopment in the CSAH 75 corridor between First Avenue NW and First Avenue NE. The
EDA discussed first right of refusals, purchase options, alteration of design/aesthetic standards set forth
within the zoning ordinance, the development of a group similar to the Downtown Committee and
producing a master redevelopment plan for the area.
Additional discussion occurred regarding the appropriate areas to study initially and how that area was
inter-related to the Central Business District.
The EDA reached consensus in requesting additional technical information on the properties in the
corridor be assembled for review at the next EDA meeting.
Director's Report.
Rieke introduced the topic. Strack noted the Director's Report was included in the packet.
Board Member Announcements.
EDA Board Member Rieke reported on the S1. Cloud Area Economic Development Partnership meeting
held earlier in the day.
Strack reported on a lunch meeting held with the industrial property owners within the Buettner Business
Park. A variety of issues were discussed and the results of the meeting indicated another meeting was in
order as was the amendment of the covenants. The covenants are to be amended to require lessee's to
comply with covenants. Jerry Hettwer of Hettwer Real Estate Services offered to distribute the document
for signatures/notarization.
Rieke stated he had an opportunity to meet with the owner of the Meeting Grounds (tenant in the
business park) pursuant to discussion at the lunch meeting.

Cynthia Smith-Strack Municipal DevelopmentGroup
Termination of Lease: EDA (Lessor) City (Lessee)
Background:
The S1. Joseph Economic Development Authority issued a series of lease revenue bonds to purchase the
City Hall (former bank) at 25 College Avenue North. Annual payments for the revenue bond was covered
through a lease payment to the EDA from the City. The revenue bond was paid off as part of refunding
bond issuance in 2004. During the 2005 audit (conducted in March) a finding was made noting the lease
agreement between the EDA and the City relative to the initial revenue bond issuance was not formally
terminated.
Since the EDA was a party to the lease, official authorization/direction to execute the release agreement.
Action:
Following review/discussion a MOTION to authorize and direct the EDA President and Secretary to
execute the release from lease and option agreement is in order.

Technical Inventory: CSAH 75
Staff has created the attached technical inventory for the first tier of lots within the CSAH 75 corridor
between 1st Street NW to 3rd Street NE. The information is for your review and reference prior to the
meeting.
ST. JOSEPH TECHNICAL INVENTORY
CSAH 75 CORRDOR: 1ST STREET NW TO 3RD STREET NE
FIRST TIER OF LOTS
CSAH 75 in St. Joseoh. .
CSAH 75 is classified as a "Principal Arterial" roadway as it passes through the City of St. Jos~ph. The
Principai Arterial classification means the primary function of the roadway is one of mobility as opposed to
access. Controlled access points may be minimized in an attempt to promote the movement of through
traffic. Therefore, frontage/backage roads are essential mechanisms providing convenient access to
local business establishments.
2003 traffic estimates indicate CSAH 75 carries approximately 15,100 vehicle trips per day west of
College Avenue and 22,500 vehicle trips per day east of College Avenue. In comparison, 1-94 carries
approximately 21,800 trips per day west of CSAH2 and 25,000 trips per day east of CSAH2.
High volumes of traffic carried by CSAH 75 through the City are not compatible with lower intensity land
uses (e.g. Single Family Residential) due to the noise, activity and light generated by vehicles. Therefore,
the City has guided first tier development adjacent to CSAH 75 for Highway Commercial development.
The 2002 Comprehensive Plan narrative included the following goals/recommendations applicable to the
CSAH 75 corridor:
1. The City should protect the integrity of CSAH 75 as a mobility corridor. The City should examine
the possibility of establishing a frontage road system both north and south of CSAH 75, where
possible.
2. To promote the integrity of developments and retain existing property values in the CSAH 75 and
CSAH 2 corridors the City should establish design requirements for commercial and industrial
development.
3. Economic development activity primarily highway business in nature is expected to continue in
both the CSAH 2 and CSAH 75 corridors. Such growth will place additional emphasis on the
need to provide adequate and effective access to/from both roadways. In the future, access
management issues may be minimized by limiting the number of new intersections in developing
areas. The objective of access spacing is management and maintenance of mobility during peak
traffic periods. A balanced approach to access management is the key to providing mobility while
not instituting barriers that force internal traffic to travel greater distances than necessary in order
to move from one part of the city to another.
CSAH 75 Corridor in St. JosePh.
Increasingly . large volumes of traffic in the CSAH 75 corridor through St. Joseph have lead to the
. development of commercial uses adjacent to the corridor. For the most part the commercial uses are of a
nature that is highly dependent upon patronization by motorists as opposed to destination-oriented
clientele. Commercial development within the CSAH 75 corridor has been occurring for quite a few years
essentially radiating outward from the intersection of College Avenue (CSAH 2) and CSAH 75.
Commercial development particularly between 1st Avenue NW and 3rd Avenue NE has occurred in a
haphazard fashion with large variations in building styles, exterior material types, setbacks, access
pattems and building placement on lots. The haphazard nature of development is further exacerbated by
parcels that have not yet converted from residential uses to commercial uses and varying lot sizes.
Throughout the study corridor infill/redevelopment needs are evident.

TechnicallnventolV.
When examining a redevelopment corridor it is helpful to create an inventory of data applicable to
individual parcels and the area in its entirety. To those ends following are:
1 . A map depicting the subject area.
2. A spreadsheet containing pertinent information regarding parcels in the subject area.
3. A pictorial directory of properties within the subject area.
As indicated in the following attachments, there are 43 properties which abut CSAH 75 (or are within the
first tier of development) between 1 st Avenue NW and 3(d Avenue NE. Of the 43 properties, a number are
under unified ownership but not contiguous. Furthermore, several of the lots especially south of CSAH 75
have existing discrepancies between what they are zoned for, what they are actually used for and what
they are guided toward for future use.
For example, several lots within the southwester quadrant of the CSAH 75 and College Avenue
intersection are guided and zoned for Central Business District (CBD) use. The CBD zoning corresponds
with traditional downtown development which typically features humanscale design attributes such as the
positioning of buildings forward on the lot (little to no front yard), zero side yard setbacks, historic
architecture and lot coverage standards which permit most of the lot to be used for the building footprint.
In addition, several former single-family homes have been purchased and are being used for student
rental. Such uses commonly display lapses in property maintenance and such uses may be difficult to
convert due to the economic benefit of renting versus costs associated with demolition/redevelopment.
Commerci.al land prices may also impact development costs thus detracting from redevelopment
potential.
As indicated in the spreadsheet, the 43 properties contain a land mass of approximately 15 acres. The
total estimated market value for the property as determined by the County Assessor is slightly more than
$6 million dollars. Estimated land value for the subject property (taxes payable 2005) is approximately
$2.20/square foot. The first tier development adjacent to CSAH 75 in the subject area generates
approximately $149,000 in property taxes. The City share is only a portion of that amount.
The pictorial inventory which follows is useful in comparing developments within the corridor and
analyzing corridor attributes and opportunities. The initial three pages of the pictorial inventory are first
tier properties south of CSAH 75 proceeding west to east from 1st Street NW to 3rd Street NE. The final
three pages of the pictorial inventory are properties north of CSAH 75 proceeding west from 1 st Street NW
to 3rd Street NE.
Please review the inventory and note your perception of attributes and challenges within the corridor.
Examples follow:
Attributes
. Condition of roadway.
. Traffic mobility (at this point) appears to be sufficient.
· Good visibility from principal arterial - desirable for highway commercial use.
Challenges
· The pictorial inventory reinforces the perception of development within the corridor as haphazard.
· COl11mercial uses interspersed with residential uses.
. Infill opportunities are not unified.
. Partels vary greatly in size.
I
· Lac~ of continuous frontage/backage roads offering access to commercial development.
. Aesthetics: inconsistent architectural styles, wide variety of building construction types/materials
employed, non-uniform setbacks and limited landscaping.
