President Goodwin opened the public hearing at 5:01 p.m.
Planner Kathy Bodmer stated that for consideration tonight is a Business Subsidy Agreement with
OneTwoOne Development, LLC and the Apple Valley Economic Development Authority
(AVEDA) that 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.
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

ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve Business Subsidy Agreement with Village Pointe Plaza LLC for Village Pointe
Plaza development.
SUMMARY:
The EDA is requested to approve a revised Business Subsidy Agreement for the Village
Pointe Plaza development. At its August 10, 2017, meeting, the EDA approved a Business
Subsidy Agreement for the Village Pointe Plaza development that was executed with
OneTwoOne. The developer of the project is now Village Pointe Plaza LLC and will be
responsible for the disbursement of the LCDA grant funds.
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 corner 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. The funds are needed to help 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 be
substantially completed by December 31, 2018.
The tool that is used by the City to disburse funds and to ensure compliance with the terms
of the LCDA grant is 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 plans for the Central Village; both housing and job
creation. The Subsidy Agreement provides the terms and conditions for the disbursement of
the LCDA grant funds to Village Pointe Plaza LLC.
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.
BACKGROUND:
N/A
BUDGET IMPACT:
None identified at this time. The LCDA funds will be used by the Apple Valley EDA and
the City to assist the developer with site acquisition. Using a grant to assist with the
acquisition of property was also used with the Cobblestone Square Senior Apartments
(Dakota County CDA) and Orchard Path Senior Housing (Presbyterian Homes) projects.

"Open to Business" Program
Staff Contact:
Joan Murphy, Department Assistant
Department / Division:
Community Development Department
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve the Joint Powers Agreement with Dakota County CDA and various participating
communities to participate in the "Open to Business" program.
SUMMARY:
Attached for your consideration is a Joint Powers Agreement with the Dakota County
Community Development Agency (CDA) for the "Open to Business" program in Dakota
County. The program is offered through the Metropolitan Consortium of Community
Developers (MCCD), and helps small businesses and entrepreneurs that need individual
advice and counseling, and access to capital in support of partnerships with local commercial
banking resources. Small businesses and entrepreneurs generate a significant number of jobs
and income, but are often unable to obtain traditional funding because they are considered
too risky by many lending institutions. The technical assistance and financing network
offered by MCCD can make a difference in creating a successful business.
The "Open to Business" program supports on-site business services specialist Laurie Crow
who is available for one-on-one consultations at regular office hours one day every month.
Ms. Crow provides expertise in start-up financing and business plan development, as well as
meeting with businesses at other locations at their convenience. In addition to Apple Valley,
the participating communities include Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Hastings, Inver Grove
Heights, Lakeville, Mendota Heights, Rosemount, South St. Paul, West St. Paul, and small
cities and townships in the County.
Open to Business Coordinator Laurie Crow has been invited to attend and present an update
on the program in Apple Valley. Attached is the 3rd quarter 2017 update of activity, the most
recent shared with staff.
BACKGROUND:
N/A
BUDGET IMPACT:
The CDA will continue to administer the program and fund half of MCCD's $150,000 fee;
participating cities fund the other half of the fee. Apple Valley's cost to participate in this
program for 2018 is $8,300, which represents 50% of the total cost for the City's
participation of $16,559. The funds have been allocated in the EDA's 2018 budget.

which it is bound, or constitutes an event of default under any of the foregoing.
Section 2. Powers to be Exercised. The powers to be jointly exercised pursuant to
this Agreement are the powers of the CDA and the Local Government Entities under Minnesota
Statutes, Chapter 469, to undertake activities to promote economic development within their
respective jurisdictions.
Section 3. Method for Exercising Common Powers; Funds. The CDA, on its own
behalf and on behalf of the Local Government Entities, will initially enter into an agreement with
