Please see the attached letter from Bob Vogel acknowledging his resignation from the Economic Development Commission. Robert Vogel 71 Todd St, Box 69 New Market, MN 55054 October 8, 2002 To: Members of the Lakeville Economic Development Commission Recently I sent a letter to the mayor resigning my position as a member of the EDC. I regretted having to send the letter because I've enjoyed being part of the commission, but also knew that due to other commitments, not the least of which is running for Scott County Commissioner, I felt it would be best to have someone else serve. As I leave I want you to know how much I've enjoyed the involvements we have shared over the past few years, especially in the construction and implementation of our Strategic Plans for Economic Development. The group's willingness to work hard, and participate in a selfless manner to do what is best for the economic growth and vitality of Lakeville, will not only be remembered by me as the chair over the past few years, but more importantly by those who will benefit as part of the Lakeville community. Also, please know that if you would find my help useful in completing the plan currently in formation I would be willing to make myself available. My thanks for the opportunity you have given me to be your chairperson, and the fellowship you have shown me as a commission member over the past years. I will forever have good memories of my involvement with you, and look forward to continuing our friendship in the future. Sincerely Robert Vogel City of Lakeville Econ©mic Development Commission..

Chair Vogel called the meeting to order at 6:04 p.m. in the Marion Conference Room of City Hall at 20195 Holyoke Avenue, Lakeville, MN. 2. Approve June 25, 2002 Meeting Minutes. Motion 02.10 Comms. Emond/Pogatchnick moved to approve the minutes of the June 25, 2002 meeting. Motion carried unanimously. 3.A.) Strategic Plan Work Item: Educate residents on the benefits of C/1: Discussion with PR Firm Himle Horner -Todd Rapp. Mr. Todd. Rapp of the Public Relations Firm Himle Horner was present to further define the firm's proposal to assist the EDC in developing a plan to educate residents on the benefits of commercial/industrial development. Mr. Rapp indicated .that. the Lakeville community has several strengths, including conceptual community support for the growth plan and desire for additional amenities, low city taxes with high satisfaction of services, solid. communications structures, and. no organized opposition to the growth plan. The challenges in the community include anot-in-my-backyard attitude toward specific developments and the lack of easily identifiable benefits that accrue from additional development. Mr. Rapp pointed out that key audiences in the community are not as engaged in economic development issues as the EDC, so education must also include involvement of residents. When presenting benefits of development to the community, it is important to highlight both the long and short term benefits of a development. Economic Development Commission Meeting Minutes August 27, 2002 Mr. Rapp suggested three "critical messages" the EDC may want to convey, although he did indicate that there may be other relevant messages to consider as well. The three critical messages that the EDC may want to highlight are: the City has low taxes yet quality services, the City is answering the public's. call for convenience in the form of businesses such as restaurants and grocery stores, and the City is managing growth responsibly to protect the quality of life, build community, and mitigate concerns about crowding. These messages should be used prominently throughout the community's communications media. Mr. Rapp suggested three strategic goals for the communication plan: 1. Elevate economic development as a priority for taxpayers by setting and publicizing .performance goals, linking economic development projects to the performance goals, and creating a vision for shopping, recreation and jobs in Lakeville. 2. Engage residents and businesses in economic development planning to build ownership of decisions by creating area councils, increasing education activities in the community, and implementing. creative ways to accept input into the process. 3. Build a coalition of civic opinion leaders and develop joint communication strategies. Comm. Tushie inquired where Mr. Rapp obtained information that was used to formulate his proposed approach to developing a communication plan for Lakeville. Mr. Rapp indicated his information was obtained from the 2001 Decision Resources Survey, Timbercrest articles, and the Strategic Plan for Economic Development. Mr. Rapp emphasized that. there could be other approaches to the .plan, and the EDC should consider whether there are other critical ;messages the EDC wants to communicate to residents, although only three should be undertaken. City Administrator Erickson noted that there are two distinct socio-economic populations in Lakeville and different messages resonate with each demographic group. Mr. Erickson indicated. that there is a growing level of awareness regarding congestion on the I-35 and Cedar Avenue corridors, and that transportation issues musf be addressed in order to attract the commercial and industrial develapment that will diversify the tax base, provide jobs and provide the amenities the community has requested. Mr. Rapp suggested the City stick to the key messages because emphasizing transportation issues will make it harder for the EDC to communicate the high quality of life in Lakeville. Comm. Brandy indicated that using a-kiosk was a novel method of communicating to the community, and inquired about other methods that could be used. Mr. Rapp suggested the EDC re-evaluate their current methods to ensure that the key messages are featured prominently in each medium, and also suggested using a lot of graphics and color. Mr. Erickson noted that the citizens who organized opposition to the Target project had a web site that received a lot of traffic because it posted a great deal of information. The City may want to consider using a web site to disseminate project-specific information in the 2 Economic Development Commission Meeting Minutes August 27, 2002 future. Comm. Smith noted that traffic was the top concern that residents voiced about the Target project, and indicated that more emphasis could have been placed on residents' ability to get on and off of the interstate. Comm. Brantly suggested that benefits to the community should be identified with each project. Comm. J. Erickson suggested the EDC find simple ways to reach the public such as the Lakeville Life & Times newspaper. Mr. Rapp concluded by indicating the EDC must pick its priorities, its messages, and then its strategies. Mr. Rapp left the meeting at 6:56 p.m. Commissioners indicated support far engaging Himle Horner to assist in developing a communications plan. Mr. Olson indicated the City would seek a contract that would include a stipulation that the project cost would not exceed a predetermined amount. Comm. Emond questioned how the EDC would evaluate the ongoing progress of Himle Horner, and Mr. Olson responded that written work product would be shared with the EDC. City Administrator Erickson suggested that the Cable staff and the Public Information staff be included in this project. 3. B.) Strategic Wark Item - Educate residents on the benefits of C/I: Spotlight on Business. Ms. Flad reported that the "Spotlight On Business" program continues to be well received by the businesses featured. and by the community as a whole. Chair Vogel introduced Jeff Belzer and Jeff Krapu of Belzer Chevrolet, Dodge, Kia, Jeanne Schubert introduced Ken Owen and David Owen of DHY, and Bob Brantly introduced John Greening of New Morning Windows at recent City Council meetings. Combined, these businesses provide over $260,000 in property taxes to the City, School District 194 and the County. They also .provide over 315 full and part time jobs for area residents. Comm Pogatchnik inquired whether there would be enough businesses to spotlight. in 2003. Ms. Flad indicated that currently the Spotlight features businesses that are the largest taxpayers. At some. point the EDC will need to discuss the criteria for businesses. to be featured. 4. A.) Strategic Work Plan Item: Investigation of Critical Business Infrastructure - Review and make recommendations on Springsted's Interchange Finance Study. Mr. Olson reported that the majority of the EDC members participated in a Joint Work Session with the City Council on Monday, August 12th at which the Interchange Finance Report was presented by City staff and David MacGillivray of Springsted. Numerous questions from EDC and Council members regarding the report were answered at the joint meeting. 3 Economic Development Commission Meeting Minutes August 27, 2002 ' Mr. Olson noted that the report represents a strategy to the financing of these interchanges and both .project costs and actual funding levels from the sources being recommended are still subject to change as these projects progress to fruition. Mr. Feller outlined several changes to the report. According to Mr. Feller, the City's Pavement Management Plan provides for the annual sealcoating, cracksealing and patching of streets. The cost of the Pavement management Plan is financed with property tax levies, which are subject to levy limits. Mr. Feller indicated that staff explored the possibility of financing the program with Street Reconstruction Bonds, however bond attorneys and fiscal consultants have indicated that sealcoating, cracksealing and patching maintenance programs are not considered street reconstruction projects and are therefore not eligibility for Street Reconstruction. Bond financing. Overlays are considered street construction projects and there#ore"financed with Street Reconstruction Bonds and debt service payments for Street Reconstruction Bonds are not subject to levy limits. Mr. Feller noted that the Draft Report stated that it was improbable that MnDOT would approve advanced funding in the foreseeable future. Subsequent to preparation of the - Report, MnDOT announced there are sufficient funds available for advanced funding. The City Council, at its August 19 meeting, approved a Resolution requesting an advancement of approximately $1.504 million.. The Municipal State Aid. (MSA) advancement therefore reduces the amount of the GO Reconstruction Bonds to be issued in the coming year. The Draft Report recommends an $185,526 HRA tax levy in 2003 to finance the. I- 35/CSAH 50/CR5 Interchange design. Mr. FeNer indicated that staff is recommending the project costs be financed with Street Reconstruction Bonds thereby resulting in the elimination of the 2003 HRA levy. The Draft Report indicates that Street Reconstruction Bonds would be issued in December 2002 to finance the CSAH 60 improvements. The bonds will be issued in February 2003 after the City Council conducts the public hearing in .December. In response to Mr. Pogatchnik's question, Mr. Feller stated that Street Reconstruction Bonds are General Obligation Bonds subject to the full faith and credit of the City. Mr. Erickson indicated that the City Council, at its August 26 work session, directed staff to assume a 7.5% increase for market value appreciation and a 6.5% rate of growth for new construction for a total annual increase of 14% in tax base. Mr. Erickson indicated that the timeline for the upgrade of the County Road 50 interchange project has been accelerated with the objective of acquiring right of way in 2003 and commencing construction in 2004. Neighborhood meetings are being scheduled with property owners regarding the County Road 50 and the County Road 70 projects. 4 economic Development Commission Meeting Minutes August 27, 2002 Ex-Officio member Bornhauser asked if existing businesses in the County Road 50 interchange area will need to be relocated. Mr. Erickson responded that it is likely some businesses will need to be relocated. Mr. Bornhauser also asked about the City's ability to withstand the impacts of the state budget deficit. Mr. Erickson reported that because the City's fiscal matters have been well managed, and because significant commercial/industrial developments will generate new taxes beginning in 2004, it is anticipated that Lakeville can endure the state budget deficit until 2005. Motion 02..11 Comms. Tushie/Pogatchnick moved to recommend the City Council accept the Interchange Finance Study. Motion carried unanimously. 4.B.~ Strategic Plan Workltem: meeting with Dakota County Technica Caliege and Dakota County Community Development Agency. Mr. Olson reported that staff continues to explore the feasibility of developing a Lakeville Technology center with Dakota County Technical College as requested by the High Tech Subcommittee at their April 03, 2002 High Tech Subcommittee meeting. On August 15, 2002, Mr. Olson and Ms_ Flad met with Dr. Ron Thomas of Dakota County Technical College, Mark Ulfers of Dakota County CDA, and Barbara Portwood, Bond Counsel for the CDA. Discussion ensued regarding the. feasibility of the CDA issuing Lease :Revenue Bonds to finance a Technology Center. Mark Ulfers'ndicated a willingness to explore the possibility further. The City of Lakeville's role will continue to be to facilitate an ongoing dialog between appropriate parties regarding the feasibility ofi a Technology Center. The City will also assist the Technical College in identifying potential sites for this project. Comm. Bornhauser inquired whether DCTC has any interest in exploring existing buildings in Lakeville. Mr. Olson indicated that DCTC might consider existing buildings and has already toured the Haase Building in Airlake Industrial Park. 5. Update on Downtown Code Improvement Program -Ben Franklin CDBG project. Mr. Olson reported that the Downtown Lakeville Business Association and the City. Council have also recommended approval of the proposed design concept for renovation of the exterior of the Ben Franklin building. The final architectural design work and preparation of bid plans and specifications for the proposed project have been completed. In addition to working with the building owners and architect on the proposed design, City staff has also been working with Scott and Cindi Erickson, owners of the Ben Franklin business to resolve several issues. The pop machines that are located in front of the store are currently not completely on the public right-of-way because the existing s Economic Development Commission , Meeting Minutes August 27, 2002 building wall is set back several feet from the sidewalk. The new building wall would be flush with the sidewalk and thus the pop machines would be located entirely on the public right-of-way. This is not permitted under City Ordinance and would pose problems for snow removal and restrict pedestrian flow on the sidewalk. Staff is also working with the Ericksons on new signage for the building. The current wall signage cannot be accommodated on the proposed new building design... Staff is recommending that since the existing signage is part of the overall. code improvements being made to the building, that additional CDBG assistance be provided to assist with installation of new signage. The Ericksons are in the process of obtaining proposals for the installation of new signage that will be complementary to the new building facade. Bids for the project were due Monday, August 26, 2002. Provided that acceptable bids are received, the GDBG agreement with J and J Holding (John and Jerry Enggren} for this project could go before the City Council on September 16, 2002. It is anticipated that work would commence on the project in late September and would be completed within 90 days. Comm. J. Erickson questioned the value of the false windows that have -been incorporated into the design of the second floor, and also commented that the construction will cause an interruption in Ben Franklin's business:. Comm. Tushie indicated that the second floor and its windows will make the building much more prominent on Holyoke Avenue than it would otherwise be. Mr. Olson indicated that the project start date is intended to allow Ben Franklin to operate under current conditions during their busy early fall season that runs through Lakeville High School Homecoming. 6. Update on Advanced Wireless Project. Mr. Olson reported on the status of the Advanced Wireless Project in the Fairfield Business Campus. Mr. Olson explained that the City Council, with the recommendation of the EDC, previously approved a Contract for Private Redeveiapment on April 1, 2002 with Coons Family LLC (Advanced Wireless Communications). Coons Family LLC has subsequently requested several minor amendments to the original contract as follows: • The original contract called. for the sale of the property to be completed by July 1, 2002. Coons Family LLC requested that this be extended to September 16, 2002 to allow additional time to obtain approval of their necessary financing for the project which includes a Small Business Administration loan. • The original contract called for the project to be substantially completed by December 31, 2002. Coons Family LLC is requesting the contract be amended to extend the completion date until November 1, 2003. The amendment also requires that the footings and foundation be completed by April 1, 2003. If Coons Family LLC fails to substantially complete the building by December 31, 2002, 6 Economic Development Commission Meeting Minutes August 27, 2002 the Minimum Market Value for the property shall still be applicable as of January 3, 2003. This will result in the City receiving the same amount of tax increment for taxes payable in 2004. Thus while Coons Family LLC will have until November 1, 2003 to complete their building, the City. will receive the same amount of tax increment in 2004 as it would had the building been completed by December 31, 2002. This amendment to the Contract for Private Redevelopment was approved by the City Council at their July 15, 2002 meeting. Mr. Olson indicated that City staff are working with the City Attorney to incorporate an additional source of funding to the project. This source is the City's Revolving Loan Fund that was created with the repayment of the DTED funded loan. that was approved for the New Morning Windows project. Thisproposed loan wouldbe a forgivable loan to Coons Family LLC in the amount of $116,450 and would be paid to the City as the new purchase price for the proposed site in Fairfield Business Campus. This option is being. pursued by the City and. would benefit the Fairfield Campus TIF District and possible future available funding for Interchange improvements at CSAH 70 and provides no additional assistance to Coons Family LLC. However, this additional financing does reduce the letter of credit requirements for Coons Family LLC which has been a concern with the primary lender for the project. Failure to meet the completion date for the building construction will result in the City drawing on the letter of credit for the balance of the market value of the lot or $T#6,450. Failure to meet the job creation and maintaining the business. at this location for five years will result in the payment of the additional $116,450. This proposed amendment will be brought to the City Council for consideration at their September 3, 2002 meeting. 02:12 Motion: Cornms. Emond/Brantly moved to recommend the City Council approve the proposed forgivable loan to Coons Family LLC from the City's Revolving Loan Fund in the amount of $116,450 to be applied to the .purchase price of Lot 2, Block 1, Fairfield Business. Campus 2"d Addition. 7. Director's Report Mr. Olson provided status reports on a number of new commercial and industrial projects. Boise Cascade is proposing to construct a 72,000 square foot office/warehouse building on 14.25 acres in the proposed Airlake Development 6th Addition. The site is along the south side of CSAH 70 at the intersection with Holyoke Ave. Boise Cascade will re- locate their current warehouse distribution facility located in Minneapolis to this site and will receive building materials via rail. The estimated building construction cost is $2.5 million and will result in 20 jobs being relocated or created at this new Lakeville location. Economic Development Commission Meeting Minutes August 27, 2002 The development will be considered by the City Council at its September 3, 2002 meeting. Lakeville Family Dental has proposed a professional office building along Kenrick Avenue near 164t" Street. This building is being developed by the owners of Lakeville Family Dental. Grading for this project should commence in mid-September. A Lakeville Town Office Development is proposed along the north. side of 165t" Street near Kenrick Avenue. This development will consist of five residential style office buildings that contain 3-5 office units per building that will be available for purchase as town office units. This development abuts the Lakeville Family Dental site to the south and could be reviewed by the Planning Commission at their .September 19, 2002 meeting.. Comm. Pogatchnik inquired about the viability of office condos. Comm. Tushie indicated that at times office condos pose some difficulties in filling spaces because it can be difficult to find a tenant with exactly the same size of space requirements. Mr. Olson indicated that office condos are a permitted use within the OR (Office Residential) zoning because they provide a transition from the residential area to the .commercial area in that neighborhood. The Malmberg/Bond Property is adjacent to the Lakeville. Family Dental and Lakeville Town Office Development to the east. While detailed commercial development plans have not been submitted for this. property, a proposed grading plan is being reviewed for the site. Several joint meetings with the developers and design engineers for these three properties have resulted in the preparation of an overall grading and. drainage plan for this entire area. The grading of the Malmberg/Bond property would prepare it for commercial development and would also provide a storm water management pond that would serve this property as well as the adjacent Lakeville Family Dental and Lakeville Town Office developments. A Holiday Gas/Convenience store is proposed at the intersection of the Co. Rd. 46 (160t" Streetj and Garret Path. near the entrance to Valley Lake Park. This new Holiday store would include an attached automatic car wash. The Planning Commission is scheduled to review this proposal at its September 5, 2002 meeting. Provincial Bank proposes to construct a new branch bank location immediately west of the proposed Holiday store along Co. Rd. 46. The building is proposed to be a two-story bank building with additional office space for lease. The Provincial Bank and Holiday Station developments will have shared. access and have inter-connected parking lots, which requires coordination of grading and drainage plans for both projects. Originally these two sites were anticipated to be the site of a new Ole Piper Restaurant. The Strategic Planning Draft report for the Dakota County Economic Development Partnership is complete. The report will be presented to a meeting of the Dakota County City Administrators and Managers on Friday, August 23rd. While recommendations in the Task Force report suggest the Partnership should re-evaluate its mission and improve its effectiveness, the budgetary cutbacks of many members of the Partnership s Economic Development Commission ' Meeting Minutes August 27, 2002 may make it difficult for the Partnership to continue to operate in its present form with membership dues as the primary source of revenue. Commissioners received a copy of an analysis of 2000 Census Data for Dakota County as prepared by staff from the Dakota County Planning Department. This is being provided for information only. 8.

Olson, Community & Economic Development Director DATE: October 25, 2002 RE: Interchange Financing Study Progress continues towards the finalization ©f the lnterchange Financing Study.. A public meeting on .the Study was held on September 25, 2002 at the City Water Treatment Pfant. This meeting was attended by approximately 18 property and business owners inthe vicinity of the CSAH 50 / I-35 Interchange area.. ..The City has also had a number. of discussions and meetings with County staff to obtain the ' County's support and cooperation with the strategies identified in the Financing Study. It is anticipated that the County will :concur with: the approach for the funding. necessary for interchange improvements identified in the Financing. Study. As previously discussed with the EDC, one'of the primary components. of the Interchange Study is ,the recommended issuance of Street Reconstruction Bonds to advance fund the right-of-way and construction costs associated with CSAH 50 ! f-35 Improvements. SRF Consu ting Group Inc. is in the. process of completing the preliminary design of the CSAH. 50 / I-35 improvements. This design process has resulted. in identifying interim improvements that will not involve the complete replacement of the CSAH 50 / I-35 Bridge. Preliminary indications from the MnDOT and the Federal Highway Administration would approve completing .interim improvements to this interchange area that could adequately serve this area for at least the next decade. The City plans to meet individually with. property.. owners in the second half of November-that own .properties that would be directly impacted by these improvements in terms of having all or a portion of their property acquired. It is anticipated that the preliminary design will be able to be presented at a public meeting in the first week of December.

Olson, Community & Economic Development Director FR: Ann Flad, Economic Development Coordinat DATE: October 25, 2002 RE: Review of Manufacturing & Technology Week At the October 21, 2002 City. Council meeting, the Mayor and Council declared October 21- 25, 2002 as Manufacturing and Technology Week in Lakeville (see attached Proclamation.) Manufacturing & Technology Week is a part of a state-wide effort to recognize the contributions manufacturers make to our economy, and this year's declaration marks the ninth annual effort to recognize Lakeville's manufacturers. Jim Emond of the EDC and Todd Bornhauser, Executive Director of the Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce were present at the City Council meeting to accept the proclamation. Consistent with the EDC's goal to educate the community about the benefits of commercial and industrial development, staff arranged for the Thisweek Life & Times newspaper to carry a two-page feature on Manufacturing Week in the October 19, 2002 issue of the newspaper. The newspaper also solicited congratulatory ads from local businesses (see attached copy.) The Proclamation was posted on the public notice board at City Hall. Manufacturing & Technology Week will also be highlighted in the Fall issue of the Airlake Park News. A copy of the Proclamation was also provided to all industrial businesses in Lakeville, along with a personalized Certificate of Commendation from Governor Ventura (see attached example) for each business. Companies received their Proclamation and Certificate at the Manufacturers' Appreciation Luncheon held on October 24, 2002 at Progressive Rail, Inc. Businesses not in attendance at the luncheon received their Proclamation and Certificate via mail. Dr. Ron Thomas of Dakota County Technical College gave the luncheon's keynote address and provided information on the programs that DCTC offers regarding the development of specific manufacturing skills. The event concluded with tours of Airlake Industrial Park on a Progressive Rail engine. Over 110 people attended this year's luncheon. a.o ° ° r ~ ~ ~ ~ . ~ a~ ~ ~ ~ b ~ i v ~ ~ ~ ~ U ~ ~ U C p ~ V ~ ~ ~ ti ~ ~ W F~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Z o ~ ~ ~ N ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ c W ~ ~ U ~ ~ ~ o O ~ o ° ~ ~ o ~ ~ ~ ~ tio~ U ~ .N ~ ~ ~ ~ ~k. ~ ~ of C/~ W ~ o ^ r"1 ° T"`~ Q, ~ h H~ r~--~ V J k-, : s .r ;~K 5~u, - , fir ° ~r 4 , i t~ei~s~ Manufa~turi and t~c.~}nology int~rsive ~adustries axt~;pnairiic j t y r~~~µ~".~'~ part of.l4hneinesota's pro~perou~ ~conamy, and pr~irti~ ethic z sector's~streng~ aigd success is>~ part of Minnes~,~Tig Plan. ~ ~ _ ; Ian: 5 - 3Vlanufa~ur%~tg businesses in Iakeville paid o~-er .4 ixul~ion ,trt„~ ` ~ property .yes _ in--, 2~U2, wl~h sanificantly ~ont~btrt*°.to ~ .11,al~eville's high stancld of living ~id.t'~p~~mic,~'itaht~,.~N>>~ ~ Via' ~ ~ :'jJerea~~: i..

This Issues Summary was. submitted to Ted Mondale, Chairman of the Met Council on October 7, 2002. Representatives of the Plannin~ Gommission and City staff testified at Public Hearing held by the Met Gouncil on October 1 ~ and conveyed a number of the points conveyed in the lssues Summary. The Met Council has indicated that it will taking the testimony and feedback. into account and will provide for an opportunity for comment on any changes made to the current draft of the Blueprint 2030. The current date for the scheduled adoption of the Blueprint 2030 is December 1$, 2002.

S October 7, 2002 .t ~ ~ r . Mr. Ted Mondale, Chair Metropolitan Council Mears Park Centre 230 East 5th Street St. Paul, MN 55101-1634 RE; Metro Blueprint 2030 Dear Mr. Mondale: Our Community recognizes the importance and serious nature of the Metro Council's current efforts of updating the. regional plan. The Blueprint 2030 has major ramifications far the City of Lakeville and its future. We fiave therefore, devoted considerable time and attention to the review and analysis of the document. This has resulted in the identification of a number of issues which are of major concern to our City, as well as to other local units of government. The memorandum which is attached summarizes the comments and questions that we have with the current draft of the plan. We are hopeful, that by the early submission of this material, that it will be given detailed_consideration by your agency. would also like to formally request, that prior to the adoption of the 81u~rini` 2030, the metropolitan area citizens and governments be given the opportunity to review and. comment upon the changes to the document which. result from the recently completed public preview process and public hearings scheduled to be held October 16, 2002. Given the critical and far reaching impact and implications of the regional plan, it is essential that the decision-making process -not be rushed and premature action taken. The Metropolitan Council and local units of governments need to insure that the plan will nat produce adverse consequences and that the plan will achieve the desired ends which will address the major challenges the region confronts. Please contact City Administrator Robert Erickson if there are questions with regard to this letter, our comments, or my request. .Sincerely yours, y~ T,. r r Robert Johnson, Mayor cc: City Council Julius Smith, Metropolitan Council Robert A. Erickson, City Administrator David t_. Olson, Community and Economic Development Director r TO: METROPOLITAN COUNCIL FROM: CITY OF LAKEV[LLE DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2002 RE:`' BLUEPRINT 2030 BACKGROUND: We have undertaken..: a review of the , 4tn draft of thee. Metro Council's Blueprint 2030,. dated 28 August 2002. This regional..: planning :effort is being pursued to establish a-new framework for the metropolitan .area,: extending he perspective from 2020 to 2030. The final document, which will be approved by the Metro Council, will be the basis and the criteria for evaluating updated local comprehensive plans, which are required by 2008:, and. for the determination of metropolitan investments and improvements. In the material which follows,.:. we have .attempted to highlight the major components of the Blueprint 2030 which have implications for and impacts on the City of Lakeville. REGIONAL PROJECTIQNS: Blueprint 2030 is based upon the fundamental premise that ..the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area will ..:continue to grow as it has in the past. _This means that between 2000 ..and 2030 a population :growth of approximately 950,000 individuals is expected. Lakeville and the subregion. served by the Empire Treatment..: Plant are anticipated to accommodate a significant portion of this increase. For the region, the Metro Council claims that one of the major resulting problems will be that the growth between 2000 and 2030 is projected to produce 75,000 more-.households. than have.-been planned for by local units in their most recent comprehensive plans. Other-results. of the overall 30-year growth include major implications on an already greatly stressed transportation system. Additionally, i support systems such as wastewater collection and treatment, potable water systems, storm drainage, parks. and recreation,. etc., will also require attention at both the regional and local levels. AREAS OF FOCUS: Based upon existing opportunities, problems and issues as well as the projections which have been made, the current update of the regional plan focuses on three primary topics of concern. In summary these are: HOUSING: RISING COSTS TRANSPORTATION: fNCREASING HfGHWAYCONGESTION NATURAL RESOUSES: LOSS OF FARMLAND & NATURAL AREAS The updated regional plan also indicates that transportation corridors wilt be the focus of where development and redevelopment is to take place. In comments made about the plan by regional officials there is an indication that this is a new urban geographic approach as contrasted to a "concentric ring" pattern of development, which has occurred in the past.- Of some interest is the fact that. the Metropolitan Planning Commission (the forerunner of the Metro Counc"rl) proposed a "Constellation Cities" geographic concepf .plan in 1967which relied heavily on transportation routes. It would appear that the Metro Council has just "reinvented the wheel." -NEW METRQ ARPROACHES The Metra Council proposes a number of new directions in its approach. These directions, which are departures -from past regional strategies,:. are stated in the draft 8lueprnf 2030 as: 1. More attention to the pattern and .arrangement of land uses. This is in contrast and will be in addition to the past Metro Council practice of addressing "how much" development occurred in growing communities. (As Lakeville is recognized as „a continuing growth community, this new approach will have impact on`the content and review of the city's plans.) 2. Transportation previously shaped land=use patterns. Increased attention . will be given to intensify and locate development along transportation corridors and in'rural towns along major highways.' (As the I-35 and Cedar Avenue major transportation corridors are within Lakeville's boundaries, this new approach will have implications on future City planning. Additionally, there may also be impact upon fhe City resulting -from rural area /center growth) 3. Greater emphasis on reinvestment in older areas. (This policy has some limited application to Lakeville's historic downtown area.) z 4. Development of a metro-wide natural resources inventory and assessment to foster development that is more sensitive to the environment. A major concern in this regard is the connection of greenway corridors and protection of resources by providing base data to local governmental units. 5. Greater support of expanded protections of farmlands and natural resource: areas. This .objective will be approached -through'- utilization of the Regional Park and Qpen Space System,. Metropolitan Agricultural .Preserves,- and :easement purchases. (Of critical importance to Lakeville is the.Metro Council's intent to address aggregate resource preservation and. protections as part of-this new direction. In .its work to date on this subject, fhe Lakevlle.Comprehensive Plan and Gravel Mining Ordinance have been used as models for;what should be achieved.) 6. More flexibility in the ioca#ion of new development : ' in growing communities. It is suggested that local units: of government will be given more latitude in deciding where MUSA development will take place as well as encouraging cities to make land available to accommodate the region's land development needs to 2030. (This new Metro Council approach has evident implications for the-City of Lakeville as it plans for the expansion .:and.: staging of the MUSA. -.This would also appear to be a policy change from prior Metro C©uncil positions when it precluded tf~e Cities of Lakeville and Farmington from overszing trunk sewer lines: to serve the long term MUSA expansion area along the CedarAvenue corridor.) - 7. Increased support for rural town that want to-grow: This approach is a radical departure fr©m past Metro. Council practice, which was basically to ignore rural centers beyond the MUSA. to addition to directing attention to these areas, the Metro Council is also proposing funding assistance, ..primarily for wastewater systems in these "free standing" communities. .(This. new .:approach and policy is the .basis for Metro.. Council plans to extend a regional interceptor dine to Elko, New Market and New Market :Township.: The City of Lakeville's opposition to this-new policy direction has already been loudly voiced to the Metro Council.) SIGNIFICANT LSSUES: A majority of the' Blueprint 2030 draft document is devoted to proposed Metro Council policies and actions which are basic and logical statements reflecting "good" planning and development' principals.. For example, a major theme of the draft document `is the `connection and concentration of jobs, shopping and housing. 'Lakeville already adheres to this approach as documented by development in the fiistoric downtown district, the Heritage Commons area, the TimberCrest area, and the pending Crossroads Project. A number of the proposed policies and action, however, appear to extend the Metro Council's scope and jurisdiction, raise questions, and / or have major implications for the City of Lakeville. These more controversial matters along 3 .:with he basis of the plan .are identified and discussed in the paragraphs which fallow. 1. GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE: A. Data & Projections: As noted in a preceding section ` of this memorandum, a basic :premise of the draft regional plan is that there is a rnajar shortage of designated developable land to accommodate the 2030 ::.population. At .the urging: of the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities, the draft Blueprint2030 does recognize the metropolitan rsgion, is in-fact 13 counties as defined by the Federal Ger?sus, as contrasted to seven counties as defined by State Legislation. The draft plan, however, appears to go no further into this highly critical factor and does not evidently utilize the larger geographic area as a basis ..upon which to analyze land needs. lf. this is in .fact the case,: the projection : of a 75,000 household land supply shortage is highly questionable. Wright, Sherburne, Isanti :and Chisago Counties in Minnesota. and St Groix and Pierce Counties 'rn Wisconsin likely have substantial ands to contribute to the claimed 'shortage. The growth in hese areas over ,the last -ten years substantiates the availability of developable land. While recognizing that the `Metro Council does not have jurisdiction over these six `outlying" counties, here is a need. to assess their development potential if an accurate :;projection of land supply is to ,be made.: tacking this information makes questionable the basis upon which the Blueprint 2030 is founded and: the resulting :.policies. and actions which are proposed. The failure to assess the potential, development in the six outlying counties also raises serious questions concerning the capabilities of the existing and future regional transportation system. If the growth in these areas is not recognized, the system's capabilities will cantinas to fall far short of need:. B. Jurisdiction: Given the fact that the Federal Gensus documents and substantiates that the Twin Cites Metropolitan region is comprised of 13 and not seven counties, it defies logic that an effort to expand the Metro Council's-jurisdiction is not included in the draft Blueprint 2030. At minimum, the four outlying Minnesota Gounties, which are as much a part.. of the metropolitan. area _as the sewn that are now so designated, should be actively pursed.. to become part of he formally.- State-recognized area. Also, means. to coordinate planning and projects with. the outlying Wisconsin .Gounties should be attempted. While this is by no means a minor political issue and .undertaking, ignoring the matter is an unacceptable approach. 4 2. RURAL CENTERS !.AREAS: As it pertains to the rural areas of the region, the draft- document contains a number of policies and actions which are significant and may produce negative results. A. Rural Residential Areas: For almost 25 years the Metropolitan Council has had a rural development policy which limited rural area development to a density of 1D acres per unit. Many jurisdictions in thee,: region (primarily townships) have simply ign©red this policy directive and developed at 1 to 2.5 acre densities. The Metro Council chose simply to ignore this situation although the growth pattern-was recognized as having 'a negative impact upon regional systems such as transportation. The draft Blueprint 2030 now proposes to formally acknowledge these high-density rural areas by creating a 'new development category termed Rural Residential Areas. In and' of itself, this recognition is practical, as the situation is, in fact, a' reality. The plan, however, does not go far enough to 'suggest a prohibition of such development densities in'the future`. Moreover, the draft plan would appear to reward and, in fact, encourage such a development pattern by suggesting that convenience goods-and services should be developed in such areas to serve the residents. Frorn one perspective, this policy works against rural town centers and the. urban core .by creating competition for .locations where urban services have been provided and need to be paid for. Also, accepting and rewarding a development pattern which has flagrantly violated regional policy ' is totally" unfair to those communities 'which have °complied with the regional directive. Alternatively, It is suggested that a method to have these non- conforming development areas pay their "fair share" of local and regional service costs be explored. B. Rural Growth Centers: The past Metro Council practice and policy to ignore Rural Growth .Centers is acknowledged as being questionable. These outlying -communities have been as much a part °of the region as the urbanized core. Including these centers into the regional plan is therefore common sense. In `reversing its direction, the Metro Council should, `however, act with' caution. A key issue is whether the growth in a rural center `will have a significant' impact on transportation system capabilities. Another issue requiring attention is the impact that a rural center's' growth will have on existing services and investments: School' district capabilities are a 'primary concern in this regard. Also, if a rural center attracts growth away from core communities where infrastructure investments have been made and as a result s development is critical to financial capabilities, significant rural center .growth should not be allowed. Finally, growth rr Rural Centers should be tied. to efforts at economic development: If not, these centers will simply become bedroom suburbs adding to existing commuting problems of ahe region. A point also needs to be .made .relative to the justification that the Metropolitan Council is using ,as a basis for,. its policy change on Rural Centers. It is suggested. that-by promoting growth in Rural Centers, there will be a .drop in rural residential land demand (2.5 acre lots). It is contended that this claimed benefit is far from reality and reflects a failure to understand why people. chose to locate in a rural large-lot setting. A final concern relative. #o the. Rural Growth Centers -is the amount of funding that the. Metro Council is proposing o invest into wastewater col ecton /treatment. in here communities. It seems questionable- to fund the Rural Growth .Centers when there are projected, unmet needs in the contiguous .urbanized area and were other.. regional system investments. such as transportation have been. made. 3. INFILL DEVELQPMENT-CEDAR AVENUE CORRIDOR: The Metro Council has finally supplied a graphic with the recent issue of the. Blueprint 2030, This now allows a review of how the Metro Council interprets the physical. implications of its policies. Of major concern and in seeming contradiction to its stated ,intent, .the.. Blueprint 2030 Growth Strategy map does not designate ahe four-lane Cedar .Avenue as a major .transportation corridor beyond Dakota Gounty Highway-42. Cedar Avenue has recently been upgraded to a four-lane divided roadway south to Dakota County Road 70 and Airlake Industrial Park, which at present has 4,000 employment positions and is growing. This .corridor is also currently ..under study as a potential transit link. Besides. this major. oversight, the undeveloped area in Farmington which adjoins Lakeville and which is ::served by Cedar Avenue. is shown as,Agricultural Preserve. The Lakeville and Farmington .areas are in fact interdependent. on service by the same :,interceptor. sewer line. This area is viewed as highly.: important to the region as the combined land resource of the two communities could accommodate up o 5,000 households. .Moreover, there is concern with he Metro Council's commitment to the development of this area as it rejected a proposal by the Lakeville and :Farmington communities to have the region participate in the oversizing of a trunk sewer extension which .would have allowed future, .relatively. inexpensive, service to this area ..when. it is ready to develop. It is contended, however, that this area can still be serviced in a more economical fashion as contrasted to the 6 r f proposal to extend an interceptor line to open development`in `Elko, New Market, and New Market Township. The City of Lakeville also needs a commitment from the MECS that there is adequate wastewater interceptor and treatment capacity to service its and. Farmington's. growth area in the Cedar Avenue Corridor. 4. DENSITY: The draft regional plan cites asngle-family development density objective of three to five units per acre for developing suburbs. This is an increase from the 2020 plan. ' At issue is that at presentations and discussions of the tlraft regional plan, a figure of four units per acre has been stated by Metro Council representatives. There needs to be a clarification of what density'is actually being proposed.. Furthermore, if the density figure is in ` fact proposed to be four units per acre, it is seriously questioned whether it can be attained. 5. REDEVELOPMENT: The' Metro Council is proposing `that 30 percent" of the projected growth `which is to occur' in the region by the year 2030 will be accommodated through redevelopment. No issue is taken with this objective. Concern does exist, however, if this threshold of redevelopment is not realized. It is anticipated that a failure to achieve the 30 percent level of redevelopment will result-in increased pressure'on cities such as Lakeville, and that no plans have been made to `address such a situation. 6. AGGREGATE DEPOSIT PROTECTIONS: A new area of attention and concern in the draft Blueprint 2030' is the protection of aggregate deposits. This is acknowledged as a legitimate concern `for the region and as' an issue which requires action.. The consequences of this policy`are, however, a concern, especially to the City 'of Lakeville. As the Metro Council ventures into'this new subject area, it is imperative' that affected local units of government be a participant in °determinatons and actions which are taken. 'Assurance of this participation is needed. 7. ECONQMiC DEVELOPMENT: A troubling void in the current draft of the updated regional plan is the lack of any attention to economic development. If the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area is to sustain its existing and projected growth, and furthermore to pay for the public services and improvements which are required, a critical factor is the economic growth and vitality of the region. By not including this extremely,. :important subject. in the plan, the region will fall. short of achieving its objectives. 8. IMPLEMENTATION: Chapter 5 of the draft Blueprint 2030 is devoted to implementation of the regional plan. It is claimed that new tools and resources will be utitized. The.. overall approaches outlined, however, appear to be the same as have been followed in the past.' This is troubling in that while progress has been made in some areas, there are. many, key and critical areas. where little change or improvement has been realized. The regional transportation system is a noted example.. Lf true progress is to be made, it would seem imperative that new and innovative measures are required. ....The region cannot continue to formulate and depend upon "wish fists" which have little or no chance of being realized. Additionally, the region needs a strategy to address problems if the massive. amount of funding projected as being required. is not. provided and available. "Moreover, the scope of implementation efforts. on the part of the Metro Council needs to be expanded into areas not addressed. An example is the increased geographic jurisdiction of the Metro Council. Also, as noted in Lakeville's comment in 1996 on the current Blueprint 2020, means and actions to "enforce" the Mandatory Land Planning Act provisions, such as rural development densities, needs to be undertaken. The past. practice of allowing non-comforming .situations to simply. continue.: and expand is unacceptable and unfair. CONCLUSLON: Beyond any question, the Blueprint 2030 plan is an important and critically. needed document. The draft documentalsoproposes to alter a number of existing policies, as well as undertake several new directions and approaches. These are significant matters in terms of their impact and implication. Given these considerations, as well. as the plan's questionable statistical foundation, the Metro Council has not provided sufficient time for a thorough review, analysis and possible modification. It would appear that the present review process and schedule will result in the document being prematurely adopted. Such a situation is not acceptable as major problems with application and implementation are anticipated. Moreover, as now worded, the plan may produce .negative, undesirable results for'the region. s Agenda Item MEMORANDUM TO: Economic Development Commission CC: Robert Erickson, City Administrator David L.

A Starbucks coffee shop is adjacent to Network the grocery portion. Customers have been responding favorably to Starbucks, the deli, fresh produce and fair pricing, she said. `They love that we bag the groceries," said Kolquist, a Target employee of 15 years who's been a store team leader at four. other stores. Lakeville's location opened nation-wide with 48 other new SuperTargets, Kolquist said. Some of those stores were expansions of existing Target facilities, including the Apple Valley and Plymouth locations in Minnesota, she said. Road construction is continuing on 185th Street and the http://www.mnsun.com/archive.asp?display=story2&year=2002&storyID=99479 10/25/2002 MNSLTN -News Archive Page 2 of 3 .ti intersection at ~ t3btn and interstate ~5. LaKevule Lity tngineer r: Keith Nelson said paving of the road should begin soon and the road portion of the project should be completed within a few weeks. Significant rain has delayed the construction process. Lakeville Police officers monitor the entrance to Target during peak driving hours to ensure safety. Kolquist oversees an employee force of more than 400. Workers come from Lakeville, Prior Lake, Elko, Farmington and other nearby cities. This includes day and night workers. At night, staff will restock the shelves using an automated system. If six bottles of shampoo are needed, the stock system tells employees where to find the product and how much is needed in the aisles. Another task during the late night hours is changing displays, Kolquist said. Currently Halloween is the theme in the store, but night crews will shift to the holiday season after Halloween. One day there will be costumes and the next Christmas trees. `The whole purpose is to make it distraction free for the customers," Kolquist said. The first SuperTarget opened in Nebraska in 1994, Kolquist said. The stores were slightly larger than the ones being constructed now. "We've changed a lot of our processes and we've changed a lot of strategies since then," Kolquist said. In her 15 years with Target, Kolquist said she's seen many new stores open. The company currently has 1,200 stores in the United States. Not all Targets have the physical space to expand to become SuperTargets, though. "Obviously SuperTargets are Target Corporation's growth vehicle," Kolquist said. The secret to Target's success is trendy merchandise, fast service, nice-looking stores combined with fun and friendly staff, Kolquist said. Business has been steady at the Lakeville location, and staff will get a better handle on how things are going when the peak shopping season kicks in. "So far it's meeting our expectations," Kolquist said. "We don't have a true read on what our traffic is going to be." When the first Target opened in 1962, it had a grocery store, Kolquist said. The grocery part was removed from the stores after that. Now the company is returning to the multi-purpose store. "If you look at demographics of who our guest is, it's a female," Kolquist said. "She doesn't have a lot of time to spend making separate trips, one to Target, one to grocery. This way she can get all of her stuff done in one trip." Kolquist highlighted the more upscale brands featured in the nrnrarv ctnra innli~~iinn f~'Amirn anrt Snnc WnidlRt hakarv http://www.mnsun.com/archive.asp?display=story2&yeaY=2002&storyID=99479 10/25/2002 MNSUN -News Archive Page 3 of 3 y. ~ ....,........y ~ ~ products and Einstein bagels. Customers will have numerous options on cheese, meat, bread and other products when cruising the grocery store section, and free samples are available. Cottage Grove resident Gary Pressley was conducting business in Lakeville and stopped in SuperTarget to pick up products for a customer. He was impressed with the name brands in the grocery store. In Cottage Grove there's a smaller Target store, he said, and hopefully it will expand to offer the same services the Lakeville SuperTarget offers. "I think it's going to become aone-stop shop for people," Pressley said. This site and its contents ©2000, 2001.
