Strack provided an overview of a draft renewal plan for the subject corridor. Background information
including traffic counts, lot inventories and current impressions of the corridor was discussed.
The EDA then discussed how to potentially accentuate positive attributes of the corridor to development
prospects. Items discussed included: continuing to share traffic counts with business prospects;
embracing the need for continual frontage/backage roads adjacent to CSAH 75 as essential mechanisms
providing convenient access to local business establishments and spurring second tier development; and,
mcourage the City to allow businesses to employ signage that meets a communicative need for business
establishments (Le. is usefJ,JI), treats all businesses similarly (e.g. does not encourage 'sign competitions'
between businesses) and is useful to motorists (Le. fills an information need) but not over-powering or
detrimental to corridor aesthetics (Le. does not define corridor aesthetics or distract motorists from finding
their business destination).
Jacobson arrived at the EDA meeting at 3:45 p.m.
The EDA then reviewed the final element of the draft renewal plan relative to minimizing factors within the
existing corridor which detract from the impression of the corridor as a cohesive center for vehicular-
oriented commercial development. Implementation strategies discussed included: working with the
Planning Commission to rezone portions of the renewal corridor, identifying and promoting incentives for
making the conversion of current student rental units within the corridor to vehicular-oriented commercial
uses more attractive; determining whether support existed for seeking control of specific parcels pursuant
to a redevelopment strategy to prepare for unified redevelopment (Le. first right of refusals, purchase
options, actual purchase of property); encouraging the development of commercial and service centers as
cohesive, highly interrelated and coordinated units with adequate off-street parking and appropriate,
regulated points of access; reviewing parking/building line setback~ to determine the potentially most-
beneficial balance between use of commercial lot and establishment of consistent viewshed; and,
requiring architectural style, building mass and exterior building materials of infill,. redevelopment and new
development be complimentary to existing development (or desired development) in character, color,
texture, bulk (or appearance thereof) and design.
. The Board noted a desire to focus efforts on specific parcels. EDA members were instructed to select five
properties within the renewal corridor which they felt offered the greatest potential for redevelopment. The
intent is to further discuss the potential promote redevelopment of certain high priority redevelopment
areas.

that all four work groups had held initial meetings and scheduled their second meeting.

authorized the compilation of a TIF Plan and associated documents pertaining to a proposed
redevelopment project at 25 East Minnesota Street. A meeting with the TIF consultant and property
owner had been scheduled.
Industrial Park Update.

and development firm from Maple Grove has closed on a portion of the 320-acre uFeld Farm' and has
control of the remaining acreage. The approximately 30 acres that has sold abuts the 5t. Joseph

DATE:

MEMO TO:
St. Joseph Economic Development Authority
FROM:
Joanne Foust & Cynthia Smith-Strack, MuniCipal Development Group
RE:
EDA Budget - 2007
Background
The City is in the process of reviewing the budget for 2007. The City Council will be conducting
budget workshop(s) in August. The EDA preliminary budget is requested prior to the Council budget
workshop(s). A preliminary budget will be adopted and certified to the County in September and a
final budget to be adopted in December, 2006.
Attached is a worksheet illustrating preliminary budgets for the following funds:
1. The EDA is a separate entity with a separate Fund (Fund 150).
2. Tax Increment revenues and expenditures for TIF 1-3 (Borgert Products) - Fund 155
3. Tax Increment revenues and expenditures for TIF 1-4 (Vicwest Steel/St. Joe Dev. LLC) Fund
156
4. Revolving Loan Fund - Fund 250. Since there are no expenditures relative to this Fund, it is not
included on the worksheet. -
Please note the following changes:
Fund 150: Operating Fund for the EDA: The 2007 budget is proposed to be increased from
$37,500 in 2006 to $45,650 in 2007. The increase proposed is due to the inclusion of $8,000 for
membership dues to the St. Cloud Area Economic Development Partnership, a $1,000 increase
for professional services and a few nominal miscellaneous increases. The 2006 approved
budget did not include membership dues to the SCAEDP.
Fund 155: TIF Fund for 1-3: The anticipated revenues and expenses reflect TIF revenue
received in 2006. The City, via development agreement, is required to reimburse the developer
95% of the increment received.
Fund 156: TIF Fund 1-4: The anticipated revenues and expenditures are based on estimates.
Actual-numbers-are dependent on assessed market value. The TIF beneficiary did not enter into
an assessed market value agreement, therefore, the actual proceeds of the pay-as-you-go issue
is less than included in the TIF budget included in the plan for 1-4.
Fund 250: Revolving Loan Fund. The projected revenue for the revolving loan fund in 2006 is
based on the amortization schedule for the Vicwest equipment loan. No expenses or loans have
been budgeted as the fund currently (end of July) has a balance of $24,000. The fund balance
by the end of calendar year 2007 should be over $42,000.
The budget adopted in December may be less than the preliminary budget, but it may not be higher.
Action:
The EDA is asked to recommend a preliminary budget for 2007 for City Council consideration. A
motion is in order.

RE:
Cynthia Smith-Strack Municipal Development Group
Transportation Study - Stakeholder Meeting
MdYor
Richdrd Car/born Background
As you are aware, three separate studies relating to transportation are currently underway:
Councilors
AI Rdssier
Ross Rieke
Renee Symdnietz
Ddle Wick
1. Corridor Study - Field Street extension.
2. Corridor Study - Northern east-west collector and extension of CSAH 3 to CSAH 2.
3. City transportation study looking at future collector streets and/or extensions of or
connections to existing streets.
Following is an update on the studies:
Field Street Extension
The 'environmental review' phase of this federally-funded corridor study continues. MnDOT has
ruled the City must follow the Federal Highway Administration's "4F" process related to
resolving environmental justice concerns. The "4F" process will extend the length of the corridor
study process and will result in increased costs.
Northern east-west Corridor
There are two meetings scheduled on July 2ih relating to the northern east-west corridor study.
The first is at 2:00 p.m. and is for those involved in the project's focus group (including Sf"ith-
Strack). The next is a public meeting scheduled for 6:00 p.m. Both meetings will have similar
agendas and will focus on gaining input regarding two alternatives for each the northern east-
west corridor (alternatives 1 & 2 on the attached map) and the projection of CSAH 3 to CSAH 2
(alternatives 3 & 4 on the attached map). Perhaps of greatest significance to economic
development within the City are the alternatives 3 & 4 of the projection of CSAH 3 to CSAH 2
(e.g. truck traffic, local access, aesthetics from 1-94). More information will be presented at the
EDA meeting. If another member of the EDA would like to attend the focus group meeting you
are welcomed to do so. Altemately, if the EDA would like to forward specific comments to the
project managers staff can draft a memo regarding such comment.
City TransDortation StudY
Staff prepared the attached memo to Kate Miner regarding information to reviewed by a
stakeholder group. Several suggestions/comments have been included in the memo and will be
forwarded to those attending the meeting.
Action
Following review of information relating to the northern east-west collector street the EDA
should appoint an alternate to attend the July 27th Focus Group meeting. Alternately, the EDA
may identify specific comments to forward to the project manager.

Transportation Study - Stakeholder Meeting
RE:
MdYor
Richdrd Cdrlbom Please accept my regret for being unable to attend the St. Joseph Transportation Study
Stakeholder meeting scheduled for Wednesday, July 26th at 3:00 p.m. This is a very important
process!

I understand the purpose of the initial stakeholder meeting is to assemble property and
business owners in the area in order to better understand and relay their viewpoints. I further
understand possible alternatives and the preliminary screening process will be discussed at the
meeting. As a result a selection of viable alternatives will be made to carry forward into the
evaluation phase of the study.
As requested, I have reviewed the information forwarded to all members of the stakeholder
group in June. I have the following comments:
. Can we use the same functional class terminology for existing/future roadways that we
have included in the Comprehensive Plan rather than the functional class terminology
used in the street design guideline included in the packet (Le. principal arterial, minor
arterial, major collector and neighborhood collector vs. regional arterial, local arterial,
regional collector and local collector).
. The study schedule illustrates roadway and trail sketch planning was to begin in
June/July. Have conceptual roadway/trail plans been drafted? If not will you please
consider the need to promote continual frontage/backage roads adjacent to CSAH 75
as essential mechanisms. for accommodating second tier commercial development
while maintaining CSAH 75 mobility. Frontagelbackage road right of way could be
secured as developmenUredevelopment occurs and while an extended time-period may
be needed to achieve desired results the final result (meaningful, continuous backage
roads adjacent to CSAH 75) would serve appear to serve a vital function. The concept
of backage roads adjacent to major roadways (e.g. 20th Avenue, CSAH 3/CSAH 2
connection) in areas guided for future commercial or industrial development would
assist in promoting second tier development at the time of platting.
. Please consider the inclusion of a grade-separated pedestrian. crossing of CSAH 75.
. Please consider future truck routes: from existing industrial park to 1-94, from future
industrial areas (east of currently developed areas) to 1-94 and especially potential
industrial areas adjacent to 1-94.
. In the past we have identified the following as 'major collectors': CR 121, CR 133,
CR134, 12th Avenue SE, East Baker Street, Minnesota Street, Northland Drive, 16th
Avenue SE, 20th Avenue and 4th AvenueSE. It would seem those if they are to remain
functioning as major collectors would be logical roadways to sketch. I assume

neighborhood collectors wouldn't be illustrated in the transportation concept, is that
correct?
· The technical memorandum includes a draft statement of purpose and need. The
memo includes the following statements: "Key issues which have prompted the City to
undertake this study include: anticipated commercial and residential development within
the existing city limits and properties surrounding the community, and the need to .
identify and preserve future transportation corridors as development pressures reach
out to currently undeveloped land. Due to the anticipated growth, the transportation
system within and around the City will be challenged to keep pace to accommodate
increased demands. " As an alternative, could we consider a statement of
need/purpose that focuses on developing the framework of a transportation system that
serves the access and mobility needs of the city in a safe, efficient and cost effective
manner; promotes connectivity and continuity for roadways within and through the
community and that is coordinated with respect to county, regional and state plans.
· Can we add connectivity and continuity to study goals and maybe address cost-
effectiveness of proactive planning for future transportation framework vs. reacting to
individual piecemeal development proposals?
The aforementioned items are comments I would have presented at the meeting on the 26th. I
will be out of the state from July 24th through August 4th. If you have any questions please feel
free to call me at 888-763-4462 or via emaH at cstrack@municipaldevelopmentqrouP.com.
Thank you again for guiding us through this very important process!

RE:
Redevelopment TIF Area
Background:
The EDA and City Council have approved a preliminary application for the use of
redevelopment tax increment financing in conjunction with a project proposed by Collegeville
Development. Staff has met with Collegeville Development Group representatives and TIF
plan consultants to discuss the TIF Plan for Collegeville Development and potential
boundaries for a municipal redevelopment district area. The municipal redevelopment district
area is proposed to include the area identified on the attached map. The TIF plan for the
Collegeville Development project is not proposed to include the entire municipal
redevelopment area, however, a map of the entire area will be included in the Plan. This will
allow the City/EDA to focus its use of redevelopment TIF in a specified area.
Action:
Comment on the potential boundary for the TIF district is requested from the EDA (e.g.
downtown, CSAH 75 renewal corridor).
