REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The EDA is asked to consider adopting Resolution No. 2022-11 authorizing entering into a Redevelopment Grant Agreement with MN -DEED governing the use of Redevelopment Grant funding in the amount of $517,500 related to Deephaven Development's Block 52 mixed-use redevelopment proposal. The Grant Agreement references the redevelopment proposal and as described in the Grant Application and the related work elements. It specifically identifies the intended -eligible use of the funding as proposed in the Grant Application. Intended eligible uses of the $517,500 in grant funding include the following: ✓ Hazardous Materials mitigation work tasks (estimated at $152,000), ✓ Structure demolition in Block 52 (estimated at $442,000) ✓ Land acquisition ($259,00 match component), and ✓ Public Infrastructure improvements to MN-TH#25 ($670,000 match component only) The Grant Agreement allows a subgrant of the funding to necessary contractors tasked with the duties of the above proposal components. Funds must be drawn in the form of a progress payment by June 30, 2023. Reporting requirements will continue related to the proposal components and job creation for a period of five years or until all goals - objectives have been completed. Al. STAFF IMPACT: The EDA attorney reviewed the Grant Agreement. The format is a standard State of Minnesota contract document. The attached resolution was also prepared by the EDA attorney. The Community Development Director and the Economic Development Manager were also involved in review of the Grant Agreement. No other staff are needed for the consideration of the EDA authorizing the State Redevelopment Grant Agreement. A2. BUDGET IMPACT: The cost related to consideration of the Redevelopment Grant Agreement consists of time incurred by the EDA attorney reviewing the Grant Agreement and preparing the resolution authorizing the EDA to enter into the Grant Agreement. A ballpark estimate of those costs are approximately $500. The EDA general fund has sufficient dollars to cover the cost of the legal fees associated with these tasks. EDA: 04/13/22 B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to adopt EDA Resolution No. 2022-11 authorizing the EDA to enter into the Redevelopment Grant Agreement with MN -DEED related to the Block 52 mixed use redevelopment proposal. 2.

Consideration of Update and Discussion regarding Shared Parking and Cross -Access Proposal in Block 34 — Mike Mitchell, 154 East Broadway (JT/AS) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The EDA is being provided an update regarding the request to accommodate private parking and/or access to parking by Mike Mitchell, owner of the multi -family apartment building located at 154 East Broadway. At the November 10, 2021 meeting, the EDA was asked to consider options for providing access to parking to be constructed on the multi -family site, or to allow for cross parking on existing City lots, including access. Following discussion in November, the EDA asked staff to further review an option for construction of diagonal parking within the Cedar Street right of way. Since that time, staff has completed research indicating that the diagonal parking option has substantial drawbacks in the form of unanticipated costs and limited benefits. Mr. Mitchell's interest stems from his recent purchase of the building at the northeast corner of the block. The building is a former hotel that housed military recruits and then became an extended stay motel/apartment complex with modest to inexpensive rates. A portion of the first floor has also been used for varied commercial purposes. The building is located on a parcel with no existing on-site parking. Staff was clear with Mr. Mitchell at the time of his interest in acquisition that the site had no private parking. Since that time, Mr. Mitchell has been evaluating options to add off-street parking spaces to accommodate the 11 residential units. In the interim period, Mr. Mitchell has remodeled the facility, upgraded rooms and created some units with two bedrooms. He also remodeled the small restaurant area on the main floor into commercial office suites available for rent. The EDA and the City together own approximately 73 percent of Block 34. The timeline for Block 34 to become a primary focus of redevelopment efforts for the EDA is likely in 2025 and ensuing years. Block 34 is also a highly visible location, and it may draw more developer interest after work on the proposed Block 52 redevelopment is completed. If the EDA comes to a consensus on a parking solution, the next step for the request will be with the City Council. The City Council will be asked to consider authorizing either the cross -parking and access application or a parking license arrangement. These may then also be reviewed by the Planning Commission as well. Al. STAFF IMPACT: There is a limited staff impact in reviewing the findings from staff efforts regarding a diagonal on -street parking solution along with the idea of a time limited parking license arrangement. Time commitments have been related to initial discussions and follow up research regarding solutions and preparing report for presentation to the EDA. Future steps would involve the Planning Commission and City Council as it would require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The EDA may have other ideas to solve the parking challenges that Mr. Mitchell has identified and presented for discussion. EDA: 04/27/22 A2. BUDGET IMPACT: There is a minor budget impact involved in a review of the proposal submitted by Mr. Mitchell. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. No motion. Seeking EDA feedback only. 2. Motion of other as directed by the EDA. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: =The addition of on -street diagonal parking along Cedar has been found to have limited benefit. The number of spaces that could be added is minimal given the street width and current placement of utilities. In addition, the spaces within a public right of way are recommended by staff to be available in full to the public, not reserved for permit parking. If the EDA is interested in allowing some measure of parking availability for the request, staff including the City Attorney would recommend a leased parking consideration, with strict limitations on term and usage. Terms would include: • City/EDA determine location and number of stalls to be leased. • Lessee accepts the parking in its current condition. • Lessee accepts the parking maintenance as currently provided. • Lessee must provide insurance and indemnification per the City's requirements. • The lease agreement gives the adjacent property owner no future rights to parking or access. The City will not enforce parking by unauthorized users of the spaces. • The lessee and City will coordinate on signage, which will be paid for by the lessee and subject to approval by the City and removal at the time of termination of lease. • City/EDA will reserve all rights relating to term of lease ad termination provisions The overriding background issue impacting the parking options discussion arises from the EDA's goal to maintain its ability to complete a future redevelopment project in Block 34 and not be hindered by commitments related to the shared parking and cross easement concept proposal.

EDA Staff Report — November 10, 2021 Meeting 154 East Broadway Street Monticello Parking Lot Plan Dear: EDA We are looking to purchase a small amount of land from the lot next door where the old Zoo Bar use to be located. We would like to construct a small parking lot with 15 or so parking spots. We are hoping to buy the land and hopefully not just have an easement from the city. We believe that being able to buy this little bit of land and construct a small parking lot that will help us to attract better tenants and in turn those tenants will spend their money in the local downtown businesses. We currently have 1 off street parking spot and it creates a big problem for tenants who are looking to rent from us who drive. We are hoping that city can help us to work together and come up with a good plan so we can have permanent parking. Since owning the building, we have done lots of improvements and turned the old front restaurant into 9 small private offices that we rent at affordable rates with flexible terms to small business that also bring people into the downtown area who then shop and spend money in the downtown area. We are committed to our building and constantly improving it and being good stewards of the city of Monticello.

To accommodate diagonal parking and a 6' sidewalk the street would most likely need to be narrowed and the sidewalk would be tight to the building. Based on the current driveway locations and power pole locations between 3rd and Broadway it looks like it would be the same number of parking spots that currently exist as parallel parking, possibly one additional.

If right of way access were to be done, it seemed the EDA would prefer to have the access be off Cedar St. They also entertained the idea of diagonal parking going down Cedar St. The EDA would be looking for layouts that would show potential allowance for cross access off Cedar St only, to the parking that would be added on the property of 154 W Broadway. No shared parking of the existing public parking and the potential ability to install diagonal parking on Cedar St. An issue with the diagonal parking on Cedar St would be a potential need for more right of way, but the building seems to be in the right of way. The understanding at the end of the discussion was that staff would research information on the current right of way and develop concepts that better fit the EDA's interest on the block.

Consideration of Shared Parking and Cross -Access Proposal in Block 34 — Mike Mitchell, 154 East Broadway (JT/AS) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Mike Mitchell, owner of the multi -family apartment building located at 154 East Broadway, has submitted to a letter to City staff in which he proposes a shared parking and cross easement access agreement in Block 34. Mr. Mitchell's interest stems from his recent purchase of the building at the northeast corner of the block. The building is a former hotel that housed military recruits and then became an extended stay motel/apartment complex with modest to inexpensive rates. A portion of the first floor has also been used for varied commercial purposes. The building is located on a parcel with no existing on-site parking. In 2020 Mr. Mitchell purchased the property and began dialoguing with City staff regarding potential methods to add off-street parking spaces to accommodate rental offering the 11 residential units to tenants who owned motor vehicles. In the interim period since then, Mr. Mitchell has remodeled the facility, upgrading rooms and creating some units with two bedrooms. He also remodeled the small restaurant area on the main floor into commercial office suites available for rent. An illustration of the shared parking and cross easement proposal that Mr. Mitchell has submitted is attached. Mr. Mitchell's initial proposal illustrates utilizing the existing access from Broadway, shifting it to the west, and using this entrance point to access parking spaces he intends to construct on his site. With the adjustment of the access, Mr. Mitchell further proposes to reconfigure the parking on the City's adjacent parking lot for his use. If the EDA is inclined to consider the request, staff would make the following recommendations. 1. The existing access shall remain as is and not be relocated. Relocation o the access would likely require review by Wright County would be best considered at the time of future redevelopment activity. 2. The access may be shared between the City and Mr. Mitchell but would only be subject to the terms and conditions outlined in item 6 below. 3. The existing parking on the City property is not recommended to be reconfigured as proposed, however, the City/EDA may consider allowing the short-term use of the existing spaces directly adjacent to the former "Zoo" property, but only subject to the terms and conditions of item 6 below. 4. Construction of the parking stalls on the apartment site shall meet the requirements of City Ordinance. EDA: 11/10/21 5. Mr. Mitchell will need to follow the required process for application for a conditional use permit for cross easement parking and access per City Ordinance. 6. An agreement for cross access and parking would be required. Mr. Mitchell would be solely responsible for the maintenance of the parking area on his property. The allowance for access and shared parking would be only until such time as the City and/or the EDA enter into a preliminary development agreement for the block. At that time, the City and EDA will endeavor to allow access to the created parking stalls, although the final location of the access and access route for the stall will be determined by the City/EDA with redevelopment planning. 7. Maintenance and condition of the access and City parking area would be solely at the discretion of thew City and further defined in the agreement based on the recommendation of the City Public Works Director/City Engineer. Staff would like to get feedback from the EDA regarding the proposal as it may affect future discussions and redevelopment plans for Block 34. If the EDA is supportive of the proposal, the next step for the request will be the City Council. The City Council will be asked to consider authorizing the cross -parking and access application, which will then be heard before Planning Commission and City Council. Al. STAFF IMPACT: There is a limited staff impact in considering the concept shared parking and cross easement access proposal at this time. Time commitments have been related to initial discussions about the proposal along with preparation of the staff report for presentation to the EDA. The EDA review of the concept is the first of what could be many steps on the way to approval if the EDA feels that the proposal is worthy and does not pose a conflict with potential future redevelopment in Block 34. Future steps would involve the Planning Commission and City Council as it would require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). There may be other modifications to the proposal that may make it more appealing to the EDA and do not hinder future redevelopment proposals. A2. BUDGET IMPACT: There is a minor budget impact involved in a review of the proposal submitted by Mr. Mitchell. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. No motion. Seeking EDA feedback only. 2. Motion of other as directed by the EDA. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff believes that the EDA should review and offer feedback on the proposal. The main concern is that the ability to complete a future redevelopment project on the block be preserved and not hindered by commitments related to the shared parking and cross easement EDA: 11/10/21 concept proposal. Staff have discussed a variety of ideas with Mr. Mitchell previously and his proposal presents a potential solution to the parking challenges that he faces. D. SUPPORTING DATA: a.

Small Area Study Perspective Illustration EDA: 04/27/22 6. Consideration of Amended Facade Improvement Grant Program Guidelines (JT/AS) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Per EDA direction, amended Fagade Improvement Grant Program (FIGP) Guidelines are proposed. The amended guidelines expand the opportunity for facade improvement projects into Block 52 along with the prior inclusion of properties in Block 35. The idea of enlarging the geographic focus for the program is to offer the Block 52 property owners not participating in the redevelopment footprint the opportunity to upgrade their building facades. This will be a chance for existing properties to make architectural enhancements to their properties.. Since the EDA approval of the FIGP, one property in Block 35 (142 West Broadway) has completed a fagade improvement project. That property received the maximum $50,000 grant. The balance in the fund now stands at $200,000. The EDA originally committed $200,000 to the program and shortly after the initial commitment increased the funding commitment to $250,000 based on the level of interest. The COVID-19 pandemic crises and related business restrictions significantly impacted several of the businesses in Block 52, sidelining some of their goals to participate FIGP. Discussions with several businesses hoping to use the funding were occurring with City staff just prior to the pandemic. Now with COVID-19 slowly receding into the background, several property owners in Block 35 have indicated a renewed interest in the program. The amended Guidelines specifically expand the geographic area by including Block 52 and also clear up a couple of minor language sections regarding the review and approval steps and processes. Al. STAFF IMPACT: There is a limited staff impact in presenting amended FIGP Guidelines to the EDA for consideration of approval. Staff involved in this effort include the Community Development Director, Economic Development Manager and Community Economic Development Coordinator. A2. BUDGET IMPACT: There is a no budget impact related to the proposed amended FIGP Guidelines. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to approve amended Fagade Improvement Grant Program Guidelines. 2. Motion to table consideration of approving amended Fagade Improvement Grant Program Guidelines for further research and/or discussion. 3. Motion of other as directed by the EDA. EDA: 04/27/22 C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative #1. The proposed amendment to the Fagade Improvement Grant Program Guidelines is an expansion of the geographic area, adding Block 52. The EDA's Block 52 redevelopment efforts are gaining momentum. The goal of the developer and the EDA is to complete a catalyst project with notable architectural features that creates a dynamic core area of the downtown. Through the amendment, the three properties in the block remaining untouched by redevelopment activities have the chance to benefit from the assistance for facade updates. The funding allocation to the program is unchanged from the EDA's earlier commitment of dollars to the program. D. SUPPORTING DATA: a. Amended Facade Improvement Grant Program Guidelines b.

Doing so will help create a lively and distinctive environment. Transparency and Openness Broadway should be welcoming and inviting., Facades with large windows and well-designed storefronts are comfortable to walk along side and intriguing to look into.They create visual interest to both drivers and walkers. Three Dimensionality/ Movement Functional and artistic elements that have depth, or evoke a sense of movement, have impact. Elements that project horizontally from buildings or vertically from the sidewak are encouraged. Proportion and Order All elements of the facade should be proportional and orderly to create a harmonius composition. The underlying building should provide the basic order of the composition and ele- ments such as awnings, signage and lighting should respond to the underlying building. Of its Time Downtown Monticello was buit over time. Today's buildings reflect a variety of eras and no one particular style. Improve- ments to the buildings that are in keeping with the spirit of a particular era will create an environment that is of its time. South side of Broadway, Block 36 Sample Illustration General Design Considerations A renovation or fa4ade improvement project can provide the architectural and human -scale qualities to improve the aesthet- ics of Downtown. The following design considerations highlight key elements that will provide guidance in restoring or enhanc- ing architectural value to building. - Most facades consist of an architectural framework designed to identify individual storefronts. Each storefront should respect this framework. - Facades should present a visually balanced composition ac- cording to the original architectural intent. - In cases where original building elements have been removed or substantially altered, contemporary treatments respecting the original and historic details are suitable. However they should not appear to be of poor quality, of temporary nature, or ill-suited for the area (vinyl or aluminum sidin). - If a building has historic or architectural merit, improvements should be designed to reveal the buildings original style form and materials, whenever posisble. - Architectural services will be offered at no charge to grant fund applicants.

The purpose of the grant pro- gram is to improve the aesthetics of the Downtown and to make it a place that is comfortable and appealing to more people throughout the day, week and year. The grant program offers up to $50,000 in grant funding to individual building property owners or building tenants to make front and corner side building facade improvements in the eligi- ble area shown below. The program is a grant, with no repayment of the funds re- quired, with a minimal financial commitment by the property owner or tenant. The EDA's goal is for at least 70% of the proper- ty owners in the area to take advantage of the grant.

Doing so will help create a lively and distinctive environment. Transparency and Openness Broadway should be welcoming and inviting., Facades with large windows and well-designed storefronts are comfortable to walk along side and intriguing to look into.They create visual interest to both drivers and walkers. Three Dimensionality / Movement Functional and artistic elements that have depth, or evoke a sense of movement, have impact. Elements that project horizontally from buildings or vertically from the sidewak are encouraged. Proportion and Order All elements of the facade should be proportional and orderly to create a harmonius composition. The underlying building should provide the basic order of the composition and ele- ments such as awnings, signage and lighting should respond to the underlying building. Of its Time Downtown Monticello was buit over time. Today's buildings reflect a variety of eras and no one particular style. Improve- ments to the buildings that are in keeping with the spirit of a particular era will create an environment that is of its time. South side of Broadway, Block 36 General Design Considerations A renovation or fa4ade improvement project can provide the architectural and human -scale qualities to improve the aesthet- ics of Downtown. The following design considerations highlight key elements that will provide guidance in restoring or enhanc- ing architectural value to building. - Most facades consist of an architectural framework designed to identify individual storefronts. Each storefront should respect this framework. - Facades should present a visually balanced composition ac- cording to the original architectural intent. - In cases where original building elements have been removed or substantially altered, contemporary treatments respecting the original and historic details are suitable. However they should not appear to be of poor quality, of temporary nature, or ill-suited for the area (vinyl or aluminum sidin). - If a building has historic or architectural merit, improvements should be designed to reveal the buildings original style form and materials, whenever posisble. - Architectural services will be offered at no charge to grant fund applicants.

Consideration of Discussion and Feedback of Proposed DRAFT Pooled TIF Allocation Plan (JT/AS) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The EDA is being asked to consider providing feedback and/or direction regarding a proposed DRAFT Pooled TIF Allocation and Spending Plan. The EDA currently administers all TIF Districts utilized for housing, redevelopment, and economic development projects in the City of Monticello. The genesis of the available and projected Pooled TIF increment dollars was discussed during the EDA Workshop Meeting on April 13, 2022. It was noted that there are sizeable, pooled resources available for housing and redevelopment efforts. There will possibly be additional Affordable Housing and Redevelopment pooled dollars in the future years depending on the EDA disposition and/or decisions related to the Interfund loan linking TIF District 1-6 and TIF District 1-41 and the decertification dates of the existing Affordable Housing TIF Districts. During the Workshop, it was noted that there may be a benefit to directly identify projects for potential fit and use of the Pooled increment funds. Adopting such a Plan may also lead to a reduction of in-house administrative tasks stemming from the annual TIF District reporting requirements through the decertification (closure) of older TIF Districts. Staff is seeking EDA feedback on the attached DRAFT Pooled TIF Allocation and Spending Plan. The Plan identifies more intentionally how and where to use the extra Pooled dollars. Several of Housing and Redevelopment TIF Districts have sizeable extra available TIF dollars that can be allocated or Pooled to support projects currently in motion or in the early planning stages. An allocation timeline of 24 months starting June 30, 2022 is the benchmark date in the plan. Previously, as a follow up to the 2016 TIF Management Plan approval, the EDA discussed and reviewed potential uses of the Pooled TIF dollars and directed drafting of Policy Statements for the Management of Available (Pooled) Tax Increment Funds. The Policy Statement was reviewed and approved at the January 10, 2018 meeting. That document is broadly worded and purposefully flexible. It is also attached as Exhibit B. The Pooled TIF Allocation Plan would replace the Policy Statements. Al. STAFF IMPACT: There is a limited staff impact in presenting a DRAFT Pooled TIF Allocation and Spending Plan for consideration at this time. Staff involved in the early consideration of the Plan includes the City Administrator, Community Development Director, Economic Development Manager, Finance Director, and the EDA -City financial advisor, Northland Securities, Inc, as well as the EDA attorney. A2. BUDGET IMPACT: There is a modest budget impact related to the proposed DRAFT Pooled TIF Allocation and Spending Plan as presented. If the Plan or some form of it is adopted, the budgetary impacts will reflect in adjustments to the various TIF Districts and related support for potential proposals -projects identified in the Plan. There may also be a EDA: 04/27/22 small budget benefit due to reduced reporting requirement stemming from several older TIF Districts that could be decertified in the near future. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. No motion; staff is seeking EDA discussion and direction on the proposed Plan. 2. Motion to table consideration of the Pooled TIF Allocation and Spending Plan for further research and/or discussion. 3. Motion of other as directed by the EDA. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: No recommendation is offered. Staff is seeking feedback and direction from the EDA to the DRAFT Pooled TIF Allocation and Spending Plan. The comments and/or direction provided by the EDA will help with the next steps as the EDA determines the strategy or plan to utilize the pooled TIF increment that it has access to in the various existing TIF Districts.

TIF Management Plan Spreadsheet w/ 12-31-21 Fund Balances and Future Yr. projections Pooled Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Allocation and Spending Plan 04-27-22 The City of Monticello Economic Development Authority (the "EDA") administers the Tax Increment Financing Districts in the City of Monticello. Several TIF Districts have fulfilled increment payment completed obligations and Extra Pooled TIF increment dollars are currently available for "Pooled" use pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 through 469.1794, inclusive, as amended (the "TIF Act"). To better utilize the available resource of Pooled TIF increment dollars, the EDA proposes to adopt an Allocation and Spending Plan utilizing the Pooled TIF dollars in the various TIF Districts. The purpose of the Allocation and Spending Plan is to provide assistance to development proposals through the use of the Pooled TIF increment funds to offset eligible costs related to the identified proposals or projects. The proposals -projects must achieve the objectives of affordable housing, economic development with tax base and job creation and redevelopment, eliminating blight conditions and increasing tax base and creating new jobs. Several identified proposals -projects are anticipated to commence development within the next 24 months (cutoff date of June 30, 2024). With that knowledge, the EDA sets forth in the Allocation and Spending Plan specific Proposals -Projects and dollars amounts of Pooled TIF increment dollars that it can allocate towards eligible costs in those Proposals -Projects. The EDA defines "Pooled -Extra TIF funds" as both current and future projected dollars legally available within established TIF funds, and not committed to existing obligations, for the EDA to spend on redevelopment and/or assisting affordable housing projects, all pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 through 469.1794, inclusive, as amended (the "TIF Act"). Allocation and Spending Plan commitments are shown in the various type of TIF District categories below.

We will develop a project management plan to bring this project to a successful conclusion. Task l .1: Project Management and Meetings We will manage all project administration, coordination, timely document delivery, meeting preparation and convening, and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) planning and functions. This will include regular check -ins with city staff as needed throughout the process. We anticipate biweekly meetings with staff and up to two presentations to the planning commission and/or city council. Task 1.2: Joint Session Meeting with City Council, EDA and Industrial and Economic Development Committee After completing the two site analyses, the team will conduct a work session with the Councill, EDA and IEDC. The results from the work session will be used to complete the final deliverable. Task 1 Deliverables: Meeting agenda, notes, and other materials; facilitated kickoff meeting; finalized scope of work and schedule Task 2: Industrial Land Use and Trend Analysis Task 2.1: Land Use and Trend Analysis An important part of this study will be to determine the range of acceptable uses within the study area. We will conduct a high-level market assessment of the range of uses that may be suitable here (from logistics to maker spaces), their site needs, and preferences. Factors to be considered in this analysis will include, but not be limited to • Expected property value and jobs per acre for each development type • Examples of comparable industrial/mixed-use developments from peer communities • Best practices related to sustainable development models, such as eco -industrial districts • Best practices for industrial parks with amenities that differentiate them from others • Assessment of how industrial park and employment uses can be functionally and physically integrated with communities • Discussion of the relationship between feasible development types and city policy goals • Discussion of a cost / benefit methodology The outcome of this task will be a graphic -oriented summary memo outlining the findings from this analysis and implications for the two subsequent tasks. Task 2 Deliverables: Graphic summary memo 6 22o99svi 19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The entire agreement of the parties is contained herein.

BOLTON & MENK, INC. am 5 2209980 �A(� '?— - )�\oy Haila Maze, Principal Planner Task 3: East Monticello Area Industrial Feasibility Task 3.1: Site Characteristics and Constraints - We will conduct a site assessment and suitability analysis for the East Monticello site. This will include evaluation of topography, existing and planned transportation access, wetlands, shoreland, floodplain, utility corridors and easements, primary soil types, and known environmental hazards. These elements will be mapped, along with narrative describing any major considerations and constraints. Unbuildable areas will be identified, as well as any potential needs for mitigation or site improvement needed prior to development. Task 3.2: Land Use Plan We will develop three alternative approaches (schematic layouts) for the East Monticello study area based on site characteristics, transportation, utility corridor planning, and community integration. This will include identifying the size and general configuration of parcels, site layouts, and circulation patterns best suited for the area, as well as recommendations regarding land use types. We will evaluate the three alternatives for workability, tax value, urban design, transportation and circulation, environmental, and infrastructure. This task will include consideration of existing zoning and land use guidance, including identifying any changes needed to accommodate a proposed development plan. The task will also include high level estimates of added tax base, jobs, and other benefits to the local economy and community from the proposed development in the land use plan. Task 3.3: Infrastructure Plan Using our prior experience with the Northwest Metro Mississippi River Crossings Feasibility Analysis and other work along the I-94 corridor, we will describe the state of planning around the I-94 interchange area and its implications for site development plans. We will review and summarize how adjacent jurisdiction plans identify future partnering options for major transportation improvements and the implications for land use development. This will include consideration of potential connections with existing and planned road network in Wright County and the Cities of Monticello, Otsego, and St. Michael. The team will also develop high level cost estimates for public utility and transportation improvements needed to serve the development. This will be compared with the high-level benefits generated in Task 3.2 to provide a general cost -benefit assessment of the proposed development. This will be completed in parallel with the Northwest Monticello Site so they can be compared to each other Task 3 Deliverables: Graphic summary memo with related maps, graphics, and exhibits 7 220998v1 Task 4: Northwest Monticello Area Industrial Feasibility Task 4.1: Site Analysis Review While analysis has already been completed for this area, changes in market conditions, infrastructure planning, and additional information available make it advisable to renew the approach. We will review, consolidate, and confirm the previous land use analysis that has been conducted for the Northwest Monticello area. This will include consideration of general site characteristics and constraints, topography, general soil types, existing and planned transportation access, wetlands, shoreland, floodplain, utility corridors, and any known environmental hazards. As needed, these elements will be mapped, along with narrative describing any major considerations and constraints. Unbuildable areas will be identified, as well as any potential needs for mitigation or site improvement needed prior to development. Task 4.2: Land Use Plan Review and Update Based on this analysis, we will reconfirm and/or update planned industrial uses for the Northwest Monticello area. This may include up to two alternative development scenarios. This will include identifying the size and general configuration of parcels, site layouts, and circulation patterns best suited for the area, and recommendations regarding land use types. This task will include consideration of existing zoning and land use guidance, including identifying any changes that would be needed to accommodate a proposed development plan. The task will also include high level estimates of added tax base, jobs, and other benefits to the local economy and community from the proposed development in the land use plan. The team will also develop high level cost estimates for public utility and transportation improvements needed to serve the development.
