OUTLOT C, VALLEY BUSINESS PARK
City Planner Tom Lovelace stated for consideration is a request for approval of a purchase
agreement to allow for the sale of Outlot C, Valley Business Park by the Economic Development
Authority (EDA) to Miller Farms of Lakeville, LLC. The purpose of this sale is to create an access
from the adjacent property located at 5751 150th Street West (CSAH 42) and allow for the
installation of utilities to serve the two properties.
The 0.18 -acre parcel, legally described as Outlot C, Valley Business Park, is located along the south
side of Energy Way, approximately 1/8 -mile west of Pilot Knob Road. The property is currently
vacant and if sold to Miller Farms of Lakeville, LLC would be incorporated with a 3.54 -acre parcel
currently owned by Miller Farms for the purpose of developing the properties for business park
uses.
He provided a brief history of the site. Miller Farms of Lakeville, LLC, has purchased the Melby
property and they are negotiating with City staff on the purchase of Outlot C. In order to complete
the purchase the Planning Commission must determine that the sale is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.

The purchase of the outlot will help achieve the objectives of the EDA by attracting future
development on the Melby property consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and current zoning
designations.
Also, a portion of a building located in the northwest corner of the Melby property currently
encroaches on to Outlot C. Approval of this sale and any combination of the two parcels will rectify
this issue.
The Planning Commission, at its January 18, 2017, meeting unanimously approved a resolution
finding that the disposal/sale of Outlot C, Valley Commercial Park to Miller Farms of Lakeville,
LLC, for consolidation with the property located at 5751 150th Street West (CSAH 42) is consistent
with the Apple Valley Comprehensive Plan.
President Goodwin opened the public hearing at 6:04 p.m.
Commissioner Hamann -Roland said this in the best interest of the City and she implores the
applicant to consider some strategies to improve what is out there on that property and clean up the
site.
Jacob Steen, Larkin Hoffman Attorneys, representing Miller Farms of Lakeville, LLC, said he
understands Commissioner Hamann-Roland's concerns. They will work with staff to resolve any
outstanding concerns with the use. He said there are two outstanding easements over the property
in favor of the City. One is a blanket easement for drainage and utilities and the other is for more
specific utility easement. Those will either have to be confined or terminated pending on City's
needs in order to accommodate private utilities and a driveway. They will be working with staff on
that and have been in touch with the City Attorney and City Engineer.
Commissioner Bergman asked why the easement concerns brought forth by Mr. Steen were not
brought forward and presented tonight and discussed as one item on this entire project.
Mr. Lovelace answered that the Economic Development Authority would not be the group that
would do that. It would be up to the City Council to vacate those easements.
President Goodwin commented that when he sees an aerial view of the property it does show a
number of trailers stored there.
President Goodwin closed the public hearing at 6:09 p.m.
MOTION: of Hamann -Roland, seconded by Hooppaw, adopting Resolution No. EDA 2017-05
finding that the sale and conveyance of Outlot C, Valley Business Park is in the best
interest of the City and accepting the terms of the purchase agreement. Ayes - 7 -

VILLAGE POINTE PLAZA / ZVAGO APPLE VALLEY
Community Development Director Bruce Nordquist reported the City of Apple Valley applied for
and was awarded a Livable Communities Demonstration Account grant of $1,148,639 to off -set the
cost of the purchase of the 3.65 -acre property on the southwest comer of Galaxie Ave and 153rd
Street West at 7070 - 153rd St W. The funding is intended to help to create a denser mixed-use
development form than is typically seen in Apple Valley. It would help to create a neighborhood
area that would otherwise not be created under normal market conditions. The grant will not be
awarded until the conditions of the grant are fulfilled including the development of the mixed-use
residential and commercial project within the triangle area. The development must commence prior
to December 31, 2017 and be completed by December 31, 2018.
The grant funds will be disbursed to the developer, OneTwoOne, through a business subsidy. The
purpose of the business subsidy is to provide financial assistance needed to ensure the development
of the triangle property occurs in accordance with the City's vision and to create jobs. The Subsidy
Agreement provides the terms and conditions for the disbursement of the LCDA grant funds to
OneTwoOne.
Staff continues to work with the developer to develop terms that will secure the release of the
$1.149 million grant funding for the acquisition of the property. The developer is ready to proceed
with the residential component of the project and wishes to receive a disbursement from the grant in
order to purchase the property. The terms of the purchase agreement and business subsidy
agreement must be structured to ensure that the residential and commercial components of the
project are developed in accordance with the City's grant agreement with the Met Council. If the
entire project does not move forward in the manner agreed to in the grant, there is a risk that the
grant funds would need to be returned to the Met Council.
Mr. Nordquist stated legal counsel has been reviewing the business subsidy agreement and more
time is needed to finish this and it is not ready to move ahead. Staff is working with the developer.
President Goodwin opened the public hearing at 6:18 p.m.
Commissioner Hamann -Roland commented that she understands that Mr. Nordquist and Mr.
Nichols have been working very diligently on this project and it is good to see that progress is being
made. She understands that come commercial pieces are being worked on and that they are not
ready to be expressed publicly at this time.
Mr. Nordquist said it is not ready to be discussed and is not ready for prime time but the developer
does have a signed Letter of Intent for developing some space.
Commissioner Hamann -Roland said it is not simply housing that is being worked on right now but
the full mixed-use is being worked on.

Mr. Nordquist commented they are confident of the housing project and the direction it is going and
that financing is secure, the developer is experienced and the pre -sales are many.
Commissioner Melander referred to the term Letter of Intent and commented that there have been a
lot of things intended in the past but did not come to fruition. He has seen a lot of letters of intent
but yet it is not a commitment. There could be a significant consequence if this blows up.
Mr. Nordquist added for which the agreements will address.
Commissioner Maguire asked if there was a jobs creation element to the grant.
Mr. Nordquist answered that there is not a jobs requirement but there will be a number of jobs
added certainly for the types of uses being discussed. It is about 31,000 sq. ft. of commercial. It is
not huge but there is opportunity there.
Commissioner Maguire inquired if there was a concern with the compliance with the grant that we
do not lose so besides job creation which is not on there, is it just the mixed-use part that is the only
requirement for the grant.
Mr. Nordquist agreed that the requirement for the grant is it being mixed-use of housing and
commercial. They require an income test on some of the residents. They look at it called
affordable housing. This is a different kind of housing though it is a limited equity cooperative so
that future owners are guaranteed that there would be limited growth in their share of the building.
That actually keeps the value somewhat below market as you move forward over several years.
MOTION: of Hamann -Roland, seconded by Grendahl, continuing the public hearing for business
subsidy to August 10, 2017, at 5:00 p.m. Ayes - 7 - Nays - 0.

2. Approve Business Subsidy Agreement
SUMMARY:

provides the conditions for the transfer of grant funds to offset the cost of acquisition of the
3.65 -acre parcel located on the southwest corner of Galaxie Avenue and 153rd Street West,
commonly referred to as the "triangle property." The City acquired the triangle property (Lot
1, Block 1 Village at Founders Circle) from Dakota County in January 2014 after the site
went through a tax forfeiture process for $1,148,639. The City of Apple Valley applied for
and was awarded a Livable Communities Demonstration Account grant for the Village Pointe
Plaza development of $1,148,639 to off -set the cost of the purchase of the property. The
Village Pointe Plaza is a mixed-use project that includes a 58 -unit senior cooperative
building and 30,000 sq. ft. of commercial uses. The funding is intended to help to create a
denser mixed-use development form than what would typically be developed under normal
market conditions in Apple Valley.
Business Subsidy Agreement: The grant funds will be disbursed to the developer,
OneTwoOne, through a business subsidy. The purpose of the business subsidy is to provide
financial assistance needed to ensure the development of the triangle property occurs in
accordance with the City's vision and to create jobs. The Subsidy Agreement provides the
terms and conditions for the disbursement of the LCDA grant funds to OneTwoOne.
The terms of the Business Subsidy Agreement are the following:
• The subsidy of $1,148,639 is provided in the form of a loan.
• Developer must commence construction no later than May 28, 2018. (An October
2017, housing start is planned)
• Certificates of Occupancy must be issued on or before December 31, 2018.
• Jobs are created for both temporary construction jobs for the entire project and
permanent jobs in connection with the housing commercial development.
• If Recipient (developer) fails to perform, Recipient required to repay the loan back to
the AVEDA.
• First distribution of funds ($574,320) at closing (1/2 of grant amount).
• Second distribution of fund ($574,320) after commencement of construction of last
building.
• A purchase agreement with the City requires a promissory note and mortgage to
ensure the grant, as financial and land resources, remains secure and in City control
through AVEDA.
• If Recipient meets the goals of the Business Subsidy Agreement, the loan is forgiven.
Purchase Agreement: On July 23, 2015, the City of Apple Valley approved a purchase
agreement with OneTwoOne Development, LLC for acquisition of the 3.65 -acre property
legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Village at Founders Circle. The purchase agreement
outlined the transfer of the site from the City to the developer, transfer of a portion of the
grant funds from the City to the developer, payment of special assessments, development
performance standards, timelines for performance and project components. The City
Council will be considering a revised purchase agreement at its August 10, 2017, meeting.
