LLC)
Finance Director Hedberg provided a brief presentation.
Commissioner Johnson asked if this was a new requirement.
Finance Director Hedberg stated that this is the first loan/mortgage on the Galante project. A
similar action was done in 2017 on the Gabella building.
Commissioner Hooppaw said that this is timing and the rates for mortgages are all about when
they are filed against the property and since our TIF note existed before the mortgage is taken
out currently, that first mortgage lender wants to be in first position and the City is holding that
up with our notice.

Time Square Storm Water Agreement
Staff Contact: Department/ Division:
Alex Sharpe, Al CP, Planning and Economic Dev. Spec. Community Development Department
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve Agreement Between Apple Valley Economic Development Authority and TS
Shopping Center LLC for Time Square/Granada Avenue Storm Water Management Project.
SUMMARY:
In May 2022, the Apple Valley Economic Development Authority (EDA) met to discuss the
EDA's participation in the correction of storm water drainage issues at the Time Square
property that affected three adjacent businesses. The EDA was asked to consider a partial
contribution of$33,000 towards a correction of storm water issues.
Drainage from Time Square and these adjacent businesses was flooding the rear drive aisle
of Time Square causing significant damage and making the area difficult to traverse in the
winter and spring. Prior to the EDA's discussion, City staff facilitated several meetings with
the former owner of Time Square and the surrounding properties could not come to an
agreement on how to finance the corrections required. After applying for outside funding
through the CDA, staff brought forward a proposed project allocation for the EDA's
consideration.
At the time, it was unclear whether the project would be a public or private project. It was
anticipated that a public project may be necessary due to the number of property owners
involved and some property owner's desire to see project costs assessed to individual
properties while others would see to pay project costs up front.
After review of the issue, and number of properties involved and the impacts to a key
commercial center in the community, the EDA chose to allocate $33,000 in TIF funds from
decertified Tax Increment District #7, which when active included these parcels. The EDA
further directed staff and the City Attorney to coordinate and begin work on any agreements
required for the project to proceed with all attorney and engineering time to be covered
through the EDA's allocation.
The EDA's action on this matter helped spur the subsequent sale of the Time Square
properties in September of 2022 to Mid-America Real Estate - Minnesota, LLC, the owner
of TS Shopping Center, LLC, which is the listed property owner.
Staff continued discussing storm water correction with the new property owners and found a
strong preference for a private vs. public project process. The public process was largely
sought to ensure surrounding property owners would be receptive to participate. A public
process would be led by City staff; and due to the complexity of agreements the $33,000
allocation was anticipated to primarily cover the design, review and creation of agreements
by City staff and the City Attorney. The original estimate of this project was approximately
$100,000, of which the EDA was anticipated to cover approximately one-third (1/3) of the
project costs.
A private project would be led by the new property owners who would work directly with
surrounding properties for any participation. The City review would occur through the
building permit process and all staff review time would is covered through permit fees.
Additionally, the agreement is with a single landowner to ensure compliance, thus reducing
attorney fees. Staff preferred a private project as the process was significantly easier.
The new property owner chose to proceed with the private project, installing a storm water
pipe in the fall of 2023. The City reviewed and approved the plans, has inspected the project,
and has provided all required documentation. Simultaneously, the City Attorney drafted the
attached agreement for the installation and maintenance of the new storm line. The agreement
states that all attorney fees for the review of this project and the drafting of the agreement to
be covered by the EDA's allocation, with remaining funds to be distributed to the property
owner. The agreement further requires that the property owner maintain the storm line in
accordance with a public project.
The property owner has executed the agreement, and the EDA has been requested to approve
the agreement to allow the distribution of remaining funds once the final attorney bills are
completed.
BACKGROUND:
Attached to this staff report is the staff memo from the EDA's meeting in May of 2022. This
memo provides additional context on the history of the storm water issue and provides
context on the scope of the project. A map attached to this memo created by the City
Engineer identifies the number of properties that contributed storm water that flowed into the
rear drive aisle.
As stated previously, staff sought to facilitate correction of the storm water issue with the
surrounding property owners. Upon review, staff found that despite there being four "business
owners" in the area, there were actually 8-9 property owners. Several of the surrounding
properties were condominiums, sometimes with multiple owners. This further complicated a
public project process as agreements and preferred payments would need to be established
for each property owner. This complexity would likely cause delays in launching the project
as agreements with all property owners would be required prior to the City Engineer
beginning design work. The City Engineer has reviewed the project, and it should address
storm water concerns.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The funds are being allocated from decertified TIF District #7 and are an eligible expense to
the district.

Apple EDA MEETING DATE: May 26, 2022
Valley SECTION: Regular Agenda
Description:
Authorize EDA Funding in Partnership with Time Square and Three Adjacent Businesses to
Address Storm Water Concerns
Staff Contact: Department/ Division:
Bruce Nordquist, Community Development Director Community Development Department
ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize EDA Funding in Partnership with Time Square and Three Adjacent Businesses to
Address Storm Water Concerns
SUMMARY:
At the regularly scheduled Economic Development Authority (EDA) meeting of May 26,
staff will review finance options for addressing storm water ponding in an access driveway
near Granada Avenue with no outlet to an adjacent storm sewer line. Adjacent businesses
will need to contribute financially and provide drainage, utility and access easements toward
a resulting public or private project. In years past, the City and EDA has partnered with
business to address roadway and utility improvements related to the private portions of
Granada Avenue and locations nearby. The City Engineer has recommended a role for the
City in the design and installation of a storm sewer line extension which is part of the
$100,000 estimated cost. Staff will propose an alternative financial role for the EDA given
that a 2021 request for a redevelopment grant from the Dakota County CDA for about a third
of the cost was not approved.
BACKGROUND:
Previously, storm water was routed into the sanitary sewer, a practice that cannot continue
and the sanitary system was sealed years ago. A permanent solution to connect this site to the
municipal storm system is required. An aerial location and the diagram showing the
percentage each surrounding lot contributes to storm water within the drainage area is
attached.
The City Engineer will oversee the project to ensure the alignment and connection to the City
storm sewer in Granada Avenue is completed. Apple Valley is the facilitator and now
proposed to be a funding partner with the primary land owner of Time Square, and the
adjacent property owners that each contribute to the storm water issues on site. The proposed
approach offers a collaborative solution that is shared by multiple affected adjacent property
owners.
The City Attorney and City Engineer have both been consulted to arrive at the following
scope of work summary. The City and property owners in this area have partnered on road
repair and storm water projects in the past. Staff is in contact with each property owner to
confirm the following:
1. The City Engineer would arrange the design, construction, scope of work and
supervision as either a private installation or public project.
2. A public project could include an assessment of the cost. A private project would
require a financial deposit of funds to be held in trust by the City to project completion
and disbursement and required in advance for project approval by the City.
3. Each property owner north of Time Square is asked to contribute $11,000 to a shared
storm water solution since none presently exists; a total amount of$33,000.
4. Each property owner north of Time Square is asked to execute an assessment waiver
given the possibility of a public project.
5. Additionally, the owners are asked to provide a drainage, utility, and access easement in
recordable form to address lot areas within 5 feet of the respective property lines and
within the needed project area. Locations where buildings exist at the property line
would not include the building area in the required easement.
6. Time Square is contributing $35,000 and a drainage, utility, and access easement within
the Time Square construction limits of the property and within the service alley north of
the shopping center.
7. An amount of $33,000 in funding was sought by the City in 2021 from the Dakota
County CDA. The request was not supported given the quasi-public/private elements
were not an eligible use of funds.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The Apple Valley EDA is asked to consider the use of existing Tax Increment fund balances
in the amount of $33,000 toward the project as the City's share. According the Finance
Director Ron Hedberg there are available funds in decertified Tax Increment District #7,
which when the district was active included these same parcels. Storm water improvements
are an eligible use of Tax Increments. The requested funding matches contributions by the
affected parties without being onerous to small business.
A best case if the EDA supports the proposal, would be to express a willingness to
contribute to fix the shared storm water concern. The City Attorney and City Engineer would
then begin preparing a final scope of work, plan, and agreements to manage funds flow
whether as a public or private installation. At the City Council meeting of June 16, the City
Council would be able to act in advance of the possible property sale at the end of June. The
total project cost contributes to the time and oversight of the City Attorney and Engineer.

Description:
Adopt Resolution Approving 2024 EDA Budget
Staff Contact: Department/ Division:
Tim Benetti, Community Development Director Community Development Department
ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt resolution approving 2024 EDA budget.
SUMMARY:
The proposed 2024 budget, approved by the City Council in their annual budget, includes the
Economic Development Operations Fund.
The proposed budget includes the anticipated activities in the coming year. If the need arises
to address development opportunities, such as Business Retention, Expansion and Attraction
(BREA) activities, future action would be requested to address the need. Enclosed are the
pages from the budget document that relate to this fund and its use by the EDA.
BACKGROUND:
There are two primary uses for the Economic Development Operations Fund:
1. To support the partnership with Dakota County and participating cities in the business
support program called "Open to Business". The program counsels small businesses in
business plan development, marketing strategies, and business concept to realization
best practices that result in a physical location or business expansion. Most often, small
amounts of microgrant start-up financing is used in combination with local lender
resources to facilitate business development and growth. The program contribution from
the Apple Valley EDA is approximately $9,000 for 2024.
2. To support the partnership with Dakota County and other participating cities in
responding to regional, national and global market opportunities that attract businesses
and workers to the greater Twin City area, including Apple Valley. Greater MSP is that
regional organization that has been the visible regional economic development authority
to retain, expand and attract business. The program contribution from the Apple Valley
EDA is approximately $11,000 for 2024.
As noted, a portion of the EDA budget is the partnership with Greater MSP. Greater MSP is
a regional economic development agency that seeks to market the Twin Cities and greater
Minnesota on a global scale. In 2023 Greater MSP sought a federal designation as a "Tech
Hub" specifically marketing medical tech manufacturing. The Twin Cities were awarded this
designation in October 2023. This designation was awarded to only 31 regions in the country
and allows these regions to be eligible for $10 billion in federal funding. The attraction of
medical device manufacturing is often a "clean industrial" use with high paying jobs. As part
of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan medical manufacturing was specifically noted as a priority
for attraction within the sand and gravel mining area as it is reclaimed. This designation
should make the region, and Apple Valley a potential site for new or on-shoring device
manufacturing.
2023 was a busy year for Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED)
and Greater MSP project alert/solicitations. As staff has presented to the EDA in the past,
multiple times per year DEED and Greater MSP partner to issue alerts for potential and
substantial development projects seeking to evaluate whether to construct in Minnesota, or, if
Minnesota has already been selected, which sites in the state would meet their criteria.
These projects seek confidentiality to the extent that governments can provide it, which is
where Greater MSP takes the lead. Greater MSP is a private organization and is primarily
funded through private businesses but is a public and private partnership.
In 2020, staff saw an uptick in the scale of projects this year from prior years. These projects
often seek larger acres or massing of land under single ownership, but 2023 saw project
capital expenditures in the billions with land demand in the 400+ acres. Based on the limited
information provided by the businesses, staff must determine whether to submit for these
projects, often on truncated timelines with significant demands on submissions.
In 2023, staff submitted on 5 of these national projects, and chose not to submit on 3 projects
due to the nature of the project. When staff does not submit there are multiple reasons: (a)
criteria set by the company on utility needs, rail demand, or other may automatically
disqualify Apple Valley from submission; (b) other projects may not be the right fit due to
impacts to adjacent properties.
Submissions in 2023 resulted in two site visits that staff was made aware of and actually
participated in one of those on-site tours and discussion with the interested group. Further
discussion is pending on other solicitations, but the City has not received any formal
applications, plans, or intent from any of these projects at this time.
Possible activity areas in 2024 include:
• Continue the master planning of the Mixed Business Campus (MBC) with the identified
owner/developer, Rockport LLC; attracting business and development.
• Respond to site selectors from Minnesota Depaitiiient of Employment & Economic
Development (DEED) and Greater MSP.
• Facilitate job creation from construction and occupancy of commercial, industrial and
housing production.
• Continue Open to Business assistance services with the Dakota County CDA.
• Continue as a member of Greater MSP, the regional economic development
organization with national and global contacts for local business development.
• Facilitate improvement of properties in and around the select quadrants of CR42 and
Cedar Avenue.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The resolution approves the budgeted expenditures of$20,700.

Results. . .
2023 Greater MSP sought a federal designation as a "Tech Hub" specifically
marketing medical tech manufacturing.
Twin Cities awarded designation October 2023.
Designation awarded to only 31 regions in the country and allows these regions
to be eligible for $10 billion in federal funding.
Attraction of medical device manufacturing is often a "clean industrial" use
with high paying jobs.
2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies medical manufacturing as a priority for
attraction within the sand and gravel mining area.
Designation should make the region — and Apple Valley a potential site for new
or on-shoring device manufacturing.

Results. . .
2023 was a busy year for DEED and Greater-MSP project
alert/solicitations.
❑ 2023 saw project capital expenditures in the billions with land
demand in the 400+ acres. Based on the limited information
provided by the businesses, staff must determine whether to
submit for these projects, often on truncated timelines with
significant demands on submissions.
❑ In 2023, staff submitted on 5 of these national projects, and chose
not to submit on 3 projects (due to the nature of the project,
limited transportation services, utility capacity, etc.) Apple

Description:
"Open to Business" Program Joint Powers Agreement
Staff Contact: Department/ Division:
Alex Sharpe, Planning and Economic Dev. Spec. 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 hired Natalie Mouilso as Dakota County's Business
Advisor in 2020. Since that time, Natalie has met with numerous businesses, assisting in both
business advisement and direct loans to fill gap financing. Ms. Mouilso will be presenting a
summary of 2023 which included a number of loans to Apple Valley businesses and a
significant amount of hours providing businesses with assistance. Ms. Mouilso 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.
The 2023 year end report is attached for reference.
BACKGROUND:
N/A
BUDGET IMPACT:
The CDA will continue to administer the program and fund half of MCCD's $165,000 fee;
participating cities fund the other half of the fee. Apple Valley's cost to participate in this
program for 2024 -2026 is $9,000 per year, which represents 50% of the total cost for the
City's participation of$18,000. This fee has increased from the 2023 Apple Valley share of
$8,100. This is the first increase in the fee since the 2018-2020 agreement. Since that time,
the services from Open to Business have increased dramatically in both quality and quantity.

TITLE
Approval Of Three-Year Participation Agreement For Open To Business Program
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
• Approve participation in the Open To Business program for 2024, 2025 and 2026.
• Authorize Executive Director to enter into a contract with Metropolitan Consortium of Community
Developers for the Open To Business program, and enter into joint powers agreements with
participating cities.
SUMMARY
The CDA and the 11 largest cities in Dakota County launched Open To Business (OTB) in 2013, a
program that provides business advisory services and access to capital for entrepreneurs and small
businesses in Dakota County. The participating cities and CDA share the cost of the program. The
CDA enters into a joint powers agreement (JPA) with the 11 participating cities to act as the fiduciary
agent and to administer the contract with the Metropolitan Consortium of Community Developers
(MCCD), the OTB non-profit service provider.
Natalie Mouilso has been the Dakota County OTB business advisor since August 2020. Ms. Mouilso
provides one-on-one technical assistance to business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs on a wide
range of topics including business plan development, feasibility analysis, marketing, licensing, and
cash flow and other financial projection development. The participating cities have expressed
enthusiastic support for Ms. Mouilso continuing as the dedicated OTB advisor for the next three
years.
The annual cost of the OTB program for the next three years is $165,000. This reflects a 10 percent
increase from the last contract; however, the annual contract amount has been $150,000 since 2018.
The cost covers the direct and indirect staffing needs for the program. The CDA's portion of the fee
will not exceed $78,280 to match the 11 participating cities' fees plus the $8,440 to cover service for
the small cities and townships for a total CDA investment not to exceed $86,720 (Attachment A).
The CDA's continued financial support of the countywide OTB program is supported by the CDA's
economic development powers which were established by the Minnesota Legislature and the Dakota
County Board of Commissioners in 2000. The OTB program is consistent with several Economic
Development Strategy Guiding Principles including: (1) it is a collaborative approach to economic
development; (2) it serves a need located in more than one community; (3) it responds to the need for
specialized expertise and economies of scale; and (4) it is non-duplicative of other services.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends entering into an agreement with MCCD for Open To Business services for 2024,
2025 and 2026, and executing joint powers agreements with the 11 participating cities.
Meeting Date: December 19, 2023 Agenda #: 5D
EXPLANATION OF FISCAL/FTE IMPACTS
The annual cost for the OTB program is $165,000. The costs will be split between the CDA and the
11 participating cities, with the CDA's portion of $78,280 to match the 11 participating cities' fees plus
the $8,440 to cover service for the small cities and townships for a total CDA investment not to
exceed $86,720. Participating cities will be invoiced for their portions of the cost.

Meet Mireya Sanchez, owner of El Rincon Mexicano of Inver Grove Heights. This full-service,family-owned Mexican
restaurant has been a community staple in IGH since 2015 with a solid local following. The business serves healthy,
freshly prepared, and unprocessed food and even has a vegetarian menu! Mireya started the business when she felt
called to sell her enchiladas to the community. As the business grew, Mireya looked to expand to accommodate
additional dining spaces for both customers as well as her employees during their lunch breaks. The business embarked
on an expansion to a larger location in 2021 but due to unforeseen costs and logistics,the project stalled. Having
exhausted available funds, she was stuck paying rent at both locations with a partially completed renovation. The

Apple
Valley SECTION: Regular Agenda
Description:
Review, Discuss and Direct Staff on Potential Sale and Development of EDA Owned Property-
15584 Gaslight Drive
Staff Contact: Department/ Division:
Tim Benetti, Community Development Director Community Development Department
ACTION REQUESTED:
Planning staff is seeking discussion and direction from the EDA on how to proceed with a
request from a developer interested in acquiring and developing the Minnesota Valley Transit
Authority (MVTA) Transit Hub - Park & Ride site, located at 15584 Gaslight Drive. This
property is commonly referred to as the "Gaslight Site."
SUMMARY:
The Gaslight Site is generally located at the southeast corner of 155th Street W. and Gaslight
Drive; and south of the main MVTA Transit Hub and parking ramp structure. The subject
property consists of 3.1 acres.
The site is guided "SIHD" (Suburban Intensive High Density Residential"; and is currently
in the PD-507 District, Zone No. 2. The SIHD land use guidance allows for high-density
residential developments between 24 to 48 units/acre; and "Apartment buildings" of two
stories or more and served with full city services, are considered a permitted use under the
PD-507/Zone 2.
The site is currently operated, maintained and leased by the MVTA as an individual park-
and-ride facility. The park-and-ride site currently has an elongated shaped structure situated
on the west edge of the site along Gaslight Drive, which serves as an on-site transit hub
station.
Before the end of 2023, planning staff met with a local developer specializing in housing
projects, and this developer was seeking information on available sites in and around the City
of Apple Valley for multi-family housing opportunities. The developer indicated a desire to
provide affordable, workforce type housing for the community; and expressed an interest in
acquiring the site directly from the city and begin the entitlement process and immediate site
design of the site. The developer narrowed their focus on this Gaslight Site due in part to its
proximity to similar housing uses, retail/food establishments, and the large bus transit station
to the north. Although the developer did informally discuss with staff the idea of a new high-
density apaitiiient complex and accompanying townhomes, no specific concept or site
development plan was submitted to the city.
Planning staff will also note that prior to contact with this developer, we have received
periodic inquiries and previous requests from other developers or real estate groups
interested in developing this Gaslight Site, with similar high-density housing or other
retail/commercial uses. As of this date, none of the other developers have submitted an
official letter of request, sketch plan or any related offer to purchase or develop the subject
site.
If the EDA were to approve the sale and transfer of this property to a third-party group, the
EDA would receive proceeds from the sale of the property, and the property would later
become a taxable, revenue generating parcel.
The process or options affiliated with the selling of or transferring city-owned lands can be
somewhat complex. Options may include:
1. EDA may direct staff to have an official appraisal performed on the subject property in
order to determine the true (and fair) market value of the parcel.
2. Upon completion of the appraisal, the EDA may direct staff to either:
a. begin negotiations and work directly with the developer that has expressed
their interest in acquiring and developing the site with new housing;
b. direct staff to market and offer the land for sale on the local real estate
market, and review and present offers back to the EDA Board as they become
available; or
c. direct staff to prepare and advertise for a general Request for Proposals
(RFP) on the property, with certain site design parameters and standards,
including an established minimum price (as determined by the appraisal);
whereby after all RFP's have been submitted, staff can present and review those
proposals to the EDA Board (typically in a closed session), whereby the EDA
can choose a preferred design or proposal, and direct staff to begin negotiations
and work with the chosen developer.
3. Direct staff to cease all negotiations or contact with the proposed housing developer at
this time; maintain city ownership of the property; and continue to honor the obligations of the
lease agreement between the City and MVTA to operate the park-and-ride and hub station.
Should the EDA Board decide to accept and authorize Option No. 1, planning staff would
recommend the appraisal be managed by and submitted to the City Attorney, in order to keep
the appraisal and value confidential until such time that a developer is selected, or to
establish a minimum value within an RFP submittal package.
Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) has informed city staff that there
may be some special housing funds or financial assistance available to a developer that
provides workforce/affordable housing on this site, due to its ideal location for such housing.
Staff recommends the EDA Board consider that any future marketing or RFP submission
narrative include language that specifies workforce (and/or affordable) housing development
on this site.
Also, the CDA has informed and recommended staff to consider the submission of a
Brownfield Site Nomination application on this Gaslight Site, in order to complete a Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of the property. The funds are from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency but administered through the CDA. This Phase I would be
paid by grant funds from the CDA and will be a valuable tool in determining if the site is
impacted with any harmful contaminations or environmental issues that may need mitigation
or clean-up (note: staff has no knowledge or reason to suspect the current site is impacted or
has any issues at this time). The Phase I will help in efforts to market or sell the site if
directed later.
BACKGROUND:
The Gaslight Site was originally acquired by the City of Apple Valley Economic
Development Authority in 1997. In March 1999, the Apple Valley EDA and MVTA entered
into a Lease Agreement, which approved the MVTA to improve and use the Gaslight Site for
a park and ride site, with terms from January 1999 to December 2088 (90-year lease), which
included a nominal $1.00 annual rent payment.
The intent was to use this site for a 364-space park-and-ride lot with a small transit hub
station for commuters. This park and ride lot was used extensively by a large number of
local commuters, until a new parking ramp structure was completed in 2009 just to the north
of this site. Even with the parking ramp, this site continued to receive heavy usage up until
2016 and through 2020, when the parking ramp received additional grant funds to expand two
floors (for total of five levels). Since this ramp improvement in 2020, and largely due to the
residual effects of the pandemic, the Gaslight park-and-ride site has seen a significant drop in
riders or users from this site, and it remains virtually empty or under-utilized for this area.
The termination clauses contained with the 1999 Lease Agreement provide the following:
16.1 Landlord (EDA) may terminate this Lease, if the City of Apple Valley ceases
to be a member of a Joint Powers Agreement for Transit Services with the other
cities that are members of Minnesota Valley Transit Authority upon giving Tenant
written notice consistent with the notice required for withdrawal from the Joint
Powers Agreement.
16.2 Tenant may terminate this Lease at any time during the term hereof by
delivering to Landlord the following:
(a) Any and all amounts due Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof
(b) A Quit Claim Deed to the Leased Premises executed by Tenant, in a form and
content reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
(c) 60 days'written notice of termination of the Lease.
16.3 Upon termination of the Lease, whether terminated on the Termination Date
of December 31, 2088 or prior to the Termination Date as provided in this Lease,
Landlord shall reimburse Tenant and/or the Metropolitan Council or its successor
the depreciated cost of capital repairs or improvements made or paid for as
additional rent by Tenant.
City records show that part of this Gaslight/Park-&-Ride site may have been acquired or
improved with grant funds from both the US Government and State of Minnesota. In
September 2010, the City Attorney prepared an internal memorandum of opinion to planning
staff regarding the "MVTA-Gaslight Drive" site, particularly addressing the "grant funds"
used to purchase and improve the Gaslight/P&R property. The question of two funding
sources: (i) a $638,900 grant from the old ISTEA - Intermodal Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act Program through the Feds; and (ii) a $920,000 grant from the Met Council,
which required a restrictive covenant be issued or placed on the property for a period of 20
years. Per the attorney's opinion, the ISTEA funds contained no restrictions, while the
State/Met Council funds restrictions ended in 2017; therefore allowing the EDA to remove
any restrictive covenant and to convey the property or make use of the property in any
manner without the consent of the Metropolitan Council.
The City of Apple Valley has no intention of withdrawing our partnership or commitment to
the Joint Powers Agreement. The Tenant (MVTA) has expressed an interest in cooperating
with the City of Apple Valley in allowing the development of this Gaslight Site (especially
with workforce housing), subject to the Metropolitan Council providing its approval or
agreeing to have MVTA terminate the same lease agreement.
As of the preparation of this memo report, the MVTA reps are still working with and seeking
the approval of the Met Council to forgo any future interest in the Gaslight Site and allow the
MVTA to terminate the lease agreement, thereby allowing the city to proceed with possible
development of this site.
It remains undetermined if the city or developer(s) of this site will be obligated to pay the
depreciated costs of the improvements made to the site, especially the small transit hub
station, parking lot, lights, etc. It is anticipated that any new appraisal performed on the site
will account for or provide value to these improvements, and the EDA can negotiate directly
with MVTA/Met Council on any reimbursement, if requested by MVTA. Staff will also
review or request additional legal opinions on any reimbursement that may be included or
made part of any future purchase agreement or related agreement.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Should the EDA elect to proceed with the sale of this property, City's EDA would receive
proceeds from the sale of the property, and it would become a taxable parcel. Any new high-
density housing development would also likely generate added and considerable real estate
tax revenue for the community.

Valley SECTION: Regular Agenda
Description:
Review, Discuss and Direct Staff on Potential Development Proposals on City-Owned Lands -
7153 & 7169 152nd Street W. ("866 Site")
Staff Contact: Department/ Division:
Tim Benetti, Community Development Director Community Development Department
ACTION REQUESTED:
Planning staff is seeking discussion and direction from the EDA on how to proceed with a
request from two separate developers interested in developing the city-owned parcels located
at 7153 & 7169 152nd Street West. These properties are commonly referred to as the "866
Site."
SUMMARY:
The subject properties are currently vacant and generally located south of Apple Valley Ford,
east of the Post Office, north of Roers Apartments, and west of Grand Stay Hotel. The site
is bounded on all four sides by 152nd Street to the north, Garrett Avenue to the west, 153rd
Street to the south, and Gallant Place to the east. The properties are legally described as
Lots 1 and 2, Block 3 Village at Founders Circle, and consist of 1.67 and 2.03 acres,
respectively, for a combined area of 3.7 acres.
The subject properties are guided "MIX" (Mixed Use) and are located in PD No. 739,
Zone No. 4. The Background section in this report will provide additional information
regarding the goals and objectives of this land use designation and includes detailed
information on the zoning standards and allowed uses under PD 739.
In mid-2023, planning staff met with a private owner/operator of senior residential care
centers, who expressed an interest in developing a new two-story office/headquarter building
for his company, along with a new 32-unit, single-story senior residential care facility next
door to the offices. The developer submitted preliminary concept and elevation plans for the
office/residential care facility, and authorized staff to share these to the EDA for unofficial
review and consideration of this initial development inquiry (see attached plan set).
While staff was supportive of a multi-level office building, we expressed concerns with the
single-story/gabled-pitched roof design of the senior care structure and encouraged the
developer to modify or include a second story to this facility. The Developer remains
committed to seeking the option of purchasing the 866 Site from the city; and is aware that he
will need to put forward Zoning Code (PD) amendment requests to facilitate this
development and may need to refine any future plans for this site accordingly. The Developer
will be in attendance at the meeting to offer more details of his development proposal if
requested by the EDA Board.
Planning staff also received a separate request from a local commercial real estate group
seeking to purchase the same 866 Site and develop a 20-court indoor pickleball facility and
interior restaurant. This development group also indicated secondary interest to purchasing
the adjacent city-owned parking lot located at 7075 - 152nd Street, located northeast of the
866 Site - across Gallant Place, and next to Culver's and Grand Stay. This 1.64-acre open
lot contains 128 parking spaces, which are available for public parking; and part of this lot is
being leased back to the neighboring Apple Valley Ford for temporary storage of dealership
vehicles and employee parking.
Planning staff has not received any sketch or concept plan from this proposed developer, but
did receive a project narrative memo, which is attached to this EDA report. The
Development group will be in attendance at the meeting to offer more details if requested by
the EDA Board.
If the EDA were to approve the sale and transfer of this property to a third-party group, the
City of Apple Valley would receive proceeds from the sale of the property, and the property
would later become a taxable, revenue generating parcel.
The process or options affiliated with the selling of or transferring city-owned lands can be
somewhat complex. Options may include:
1. EDA may direct staff to have an official appraisal performed on the subject property
in order to determine the true (and fair) market value of the parcel.
2. Upon completion of the appraisal, the EDA may direct staff to either:
a. begin negotiations and work directly with one of the two developers that have
come forward and expressed an interest in acquiring and developing the site with
their preferred developments;
b. direct staff to market and offer the land for sale on the local real estate
market, and review and present offers back to the EDA Board as they become
available; or
c. direct staff to prepare and advertise for a general Request for Proposals
(RFP) on the property, with certain site design parameters and standards,
including an established minimum price (as determined by the appraisal);
whereby after all RFP's have been submitted, staff can present and review those
proposals to the EDA Board (typically in a closed session), whereby the EDA
can choose a preferred design or proposal, and direct staff to begin negotiations
and work with the chosen developer.
3. Direct staff to cease all negotiations or contact with both development groups;
maintain the public parking lot arrangements and city ownership of all properties noted herein
and continue to honor the lease agreement between the City and Apple Valley Ford.
Should the EDA Board decide to accept and authorize Option No. 1, planning staff would
recommend the appraisal be managed by and submitted to the city attorney, in order to keep
the appraisal and value confidential until such time that a developer is selected, or to
establish a minimum value within an RFP submittal package.
BACKGROUND:
The subject properties are guided as MIX-Mixed Use and are situated in PD 739, Zone No.
4.
Pursuant to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, Mixed Use (MIX) areas contain a mix of retail
and service businesses, office, institutional, medium and high-density residential, public
uses, and/or park and recreation uses. The uses may be mixed vertically in a common
structure or horizontally in a common, well-defined site or area.
Apple Valley's objectives for Mixed Use are as follows:
• Organize land in a compact and walkable environment.
• Ensure that Mixed Use PD site plans include strong, well-defined internal and
external multimodal connections, especially for pedestrians and bicyclists.
• Set standards for private development and public improvements that produce
enduring quality and enhance the character and identity of Apple Valley.
• Encourage parking strategies that support greater intensity of use and which
promote pedestrian activity in Mixed Use districts.
• Integrate green/open space into Mixed Use areas.
• Improve environmental conditions, such as water quality and energy use, through
development incentives.
• Connect Mixed Use areas to public facilities, including transit systems, and to the
broader community.
The purpose of Planned Development No. 739 is to provide for pedestrian oriented,
integrated mixed use by means of innovative, neo-traditional mixed-use developments. In
addition to the performance standards contained within this article, the design and location of
all buildings, as well as lot, block, and street layouts shall be consistent with the design
guidelines as contained within the "Apple Valley Central Village Plan", as formally adopted,
to the satisfaction of the City Council. (PD-739 District standards and provisions are
attached for review).
Under PD 739/Zone 4, the proposed two-story professional office building would be
considered a permitted use. The proposed 32-unit senior care housing, however, would not
be allowed in Zone 4, nor would the single-story/pitched roof design for said structure, as the
elevations of single-story buildings must be a minimum height of 25 feet and be designed to
appear as a two or more story building. Modifications or amendments to the PD/Zone 4
would be necessary to allow the senior care facility. The EDA Board should note that PD
739 does permit "Assisted living care facilities" under Zone 3.
The indoor pickleball facility would likely be classified as a commercial recreation use, or a
Health or Athletic Facility. Health/Athletic facilities are allowed by conditional use permit in
PD 739/Zone 2 areas only. Amendments to the PD/Zone 4 would be needed to allow such a
use inside these areas.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Should the EDA elect to proceed with the sale of this property, City's EDA would receive
proceeds from the sale of the property, and it would become a taxable parcel. Any new
office/assisted living care development or a large indoor commercial recreation/athletic
facility would likely generate added and considerable real estate tax revenue for the
community.

Edina Realty®
a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate
EDA, Council and members of the planning staff of the city of Apple Valley,
I am representing a client that is in the process of finalizing a joint venture to build the premier Pickleball facility in the
Twin Cities. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the nation, and Minnesota is within the top 5 states in the number
of citizens engaging in this activity. With a high degree of, and growing, demand, our group feels confident that the
southern Twin Cities is grossly underserved in venues that offer a unique Pickleball experience. Our team intends to
design and develop a facility that will draw not only the avid Pickleball players, but a wider range of players, from nov-
ice to expert through tournament play, community events, lessons and FOOD! I will give you the high level plan consid-
ering that this project is in its beginning stages, and although the pieces are coming together nicely, our team has only
recently engaged consultants in some of the needed areas of design, development and business planning and the avail-
ability of this site has accelerated our efforts in lieu of other obligations. Our design build firm, ONYX along with The
Obsidian Group, with whom you're working on other projects, have been tasked to conceptualize for the site:
Form-cast or similar building to accommodate up to 20 pickleball courts in a round as
the hub to this facility will be a fully equipped restaurant/bar with room for spectators. --
- TAW Ca
I anticipate the size to be around 40,000 sq ft with features to allow for some natural , ""'
light and or open-air feel during the spring/summer months. The restaurant operator
desires to a rooftop patio and a water feature on the site. With this in mind,the restau- r 1• ,r . ,1te. �� i
1101
rant will be elevated on a mezzanine level with rooftop access or something similar. °" " `` ���`r�
Building aesthetics are planned to be attractive and inviting,thus the idea of water fea1 'r
tures and possibly outdoor courts as well. • _,‘
Restaurant operator: My client, currently involved in the planning for the aforementioned restaurant is a locally based
specialty Happy Mex concept that has been successful for over 13 years with two locations in the Twin Cities, and now
a third location opening in April.This "chain" has a recognizable name, even to suburban consumers.
Pickleball operator: There are currently two prospects for this position, both with ownership aspirations as well as fi-
nancial backing. In addition,we have engaged with a Pickleball consultant, renowned in the Twin Cities for his Pickle-
ball lessons programs, as well as his oversight on some of the largest Pickleball projects, including that of one of the
largest health club companies in the country. Both of the operator candidates are also well known within the Pickleball
community in Minnesota.
Development team: because of the recency of this endeavor,the development team and the level of investment from
the members is being determined. We are still exploring the capital stack and have several investors that have shown a
great deal of interest in funding this project. Knowledge of the level of interest by the EDA will help entice our current
investor pool to subscribe to the project fully. If there is an appetite for this project on behalf of the city and the EDA
we would encourage conversations about the possibility of community discounts/investment.
Please let me know if you have any further questions...design work is just beginning, so our team is open to your sug-
gestions. Because the team and the operators aren't fully vetted or solidified,thus we cannot offer names or organiza-
tions fully at this time.Thank you for your consideration!
