to prepare goals only. They discussed that they had previously had the Baal of the
revaluing loan fund for Block 35. Koropchak stated that this was delayed due to
Broadway reconstruction last summer and now construction will begin on the south side
of Broadway. The parking lot reconstruction is in the city's budget, but they questioned
starting anything on the parking lot at the same time that the streets are being repaired. It
EDA Minutes - 04/2?/03
was noted that Al Loch had asked if it was the EDA's intent to continue with the parking
lot reconstruction, but Wolfsteller stated they would like to wait with the parking lot until
the alley work is completed. Koropchak advised of an owner on Broadway that was
interested in building on a vacant lot on Block 35, but she advised that TIF did nat
qualify, the single lot has no improvements. She advised that staff had discussed having
this owner look at something on Walnut Street, but that the City was not in favor of that
due to increased density and the need to keep the parking.
Demeules asked if there were surrounding communities that were doing anything unique
for attracting business and Koropchak advised that it is slow all over, although Big Lake
is buying additional land. Koropchak added that Buffalo has an industrial park and their
revenues came from purchasing electricity from NSP and selling back to buyers. She
advised that John Chadwick was proceeding with his project which would provide land
options.
Barb Schwientek wished to continue providing incentives to attract businesses to
Monticello, specifically industrial land. She also added that the EDA should facilitate, or
provide incentives, for Block 35. The EDA members were all in agreement.
1 Z. Executive Director's Re ort.
• Koropchak provided her report and noted that Production Stamping had applied
• for a building permit and planning to move in at the end of the month.
• She advised of a boat manufacturer from Maple Lake that had been looking at
Monticello, as well as a manufacturer from Silver Creek looking to sell his
property and rebuild.
• Koropchak asked the EDA if it was their assumption that they would get new
personal guarantees from TJ Martin and Demeules felt that they would want to.
She advised it was the attorney's thought that the EDA would want to keep the
same personal guarantee. Bill asked if they did not comply by June 15`, what were
the options, other than bankruptcy. He then advised that the EDA could go after
US Bank as the EDA took first position, but Koropchak advised that First Bank of
Elk River had the equipment loan and it was stated that the EDA move up to first
now. They did ask how much this would cost to proceed. Koropchak stated she
would keep in touch with them.
• Regarding the TIF bill, Koropchak advised that she had been in touch with Mayor
Thielen to work with Ourada and see what position he was taking. She has not
heard back yet. Anderson has "walked away", not supporting or opposing.
According to John Choi, the bill could still go through. Schwientek advised that
Bruce Anderson had talked to her on another issue and that he advised her he
stays out of local issues but that he actually was in support of the bill.

EDA Agenda - 5/27/03
=1. Continued - C~onsidcration to review cost estimates for rear cosmetic facade
improvements to 131ock 35 and to determine next step.
A. Rcf'crcncc and back round:
Northwest Associated Consultants (NAC) have submitted cost cstimatcs for materials and
installation to each individual building based on the cosmetic design sketches presented
to the EDA on ,lanuar•y 29, 200 ~. Cost estimates were prepared by Mike Cyr. The EDA
had also requested an estimated cost for the installation and materials completed as one
project. DA'I' viewed tlae cosmetic design sketches on May 20, 200 ~, and liked the
results brit felt the estimated costs would not lly with the majority of the building owners.
DAT representation will be present at the EDA meeting for input.
Attached is a copy of tl~e January EDA agenda supplement which summaries the
background. "1'hc minutes of the January EDA meeting summarise the cosmetic design
sketches presented by Sieve Grittman and Bob Kirmis.
According to .lohn Sirnola, construction ol'the south side of Broadway (County Road 75)
is expected to be completed by mid June. What is the amount ol` assessments to the
businesses'? A volunteer group is looking to adopt the median between Wright-Sherburne
and. Gowan Realty and plant flowers, arc there any volunteers from the FDA in addition
to Ron Hoglund'? Secondly, the Council authorised bids for the core area street
improvements (~"' and 4`'' streets, etc. in the southwest corridor). Scope of project yet to
be determined and construction could commence following the completion of the
Broadway project. Lastly, over-lay improvements to the [31ock 35 public parking lot are
not on the agenda, only patching is planned. Under the 1~;xecutivc Director's Report is an
update on the Monticello TIF Special Legislation Bill.
Based on the new information, the EDA needs to determine its next step. It is suggested
that the I;DA invite the property owners for a presentation to view the before and after
cosmetic facade design sketches and cost cstimatcs, to view the alley/parking/trash
improvements, and to hear as a partnership what the I;I~A is willing to invest. What,
when or if the building and business owners are willing to invest`?
B. Alternative Action:
Accept cosmetic design sketches for rear lacade irnprovernents and cost cstimatcs
as submitted by NAC, determine what the EDA is willing to fund, and invite the
property and business owners to a presentation.
•

EDA VTinuttes - l/29/03
r
Consultant Steve Grittman informed commissioners that the sketches were designed as a
1•ramcWOrlc or idea to create an attractive atld appealing rear entrance and plaza.
Grittman introduced Bob Kirmis, an associate, w.ho displayed a current panoramic photo
of the rear of the buildings noting elevations gild functions. Areas identified: 1. Signage
- no continuity. ?. visual and c~cposure of trash. 3. Inconsistent building heights. ~.
Lack of visual entrance. 5. Doors and windows not consistent (uniform) with year of
construction. 6. 1=laphazard parking and trash areas. 7. Poor pedestrian connection
between vehicles and east/west connection. Grittrzlan noted the site plan can be adjusted
to accommodate southerly parking.
Kirmis continued presenting a design sketch to address the elevations and function.
Suggestions: l . Create a horizontal element for si~nage providing a sense of consistency
and 4ye focus. ?. Relocate and consolidate trash into closed and detached containers. 3.
Install parapets for visual prominence and to screen roofinecl,anical units. 4. Canopy
options to cleFine entrance and to screen physical elements. ~. With the use of wood or
transits after existin~~ doors and Windows to the era of the building. 6. Facade color -
individual choice of color or material to retain small town look. The site would create a
pede-:striae friendly plaza with east/west wall: area and plantin~~s. The importance of the
dUUr/bVI11ClUW elenlenls LI"cafe a focus for customer entrance. Responding to the cost and
material of parapets, Grittman noted the material js similar to stucco like the cornice on
C'ub Foods. The material is butte durable and affordable and can be designed into a
• drainage system.
Grittman did not have cost estimates available but estimated each buildin~~ less than
$~O.000. Prrhaps would h~ a cost savin~~s if constructed as one. Would all property
o~vncrs agree. It Was noted that tlu-ee buildings and one lot is under the same ownership.
Thr I~~DA requested NAC pt'ovide material and installation costs for each individual
building and as one project based on the suggestions. NAC could have the cost estimates
by the end of February.
~. Consideration oFre nest ti-on1 IDC to review GMEF Guidelines for business/'ob
retention.
The EDA received eclpies of the BRE Visit summaries and Business Subsidv Criteria.
Koropchak noted as fullu~vup to t11e 13&B Nletal Stan~pin~~ visit, the IrDA w-as requested
to research to see if or should the EDA Criteria -GMEF Guidelines be amended to
include job retention for existing businesses. '

The NI011t1C(:110 Sp(;Clal ~,k:giSlatlOn Bill is not a part of"I'ax Bill 1505. Please talk to the Ho>.tse

22. 'i`hc Bill is not requesting the State House anti Senate to approve or disapprove any
proposed reclevelopnlcnt projects within TiF District No. t-22. Those are local decisions to be
made by the Monticello Uesi~m Advisory Teat11, Plarlmng Commission, and City Council. At
this point, preliminary redevelopment sketches or ideas for a portion of Block 52, Block > 1,
Block >6, and Block 37 have been presented to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority
(HRA) requesting TIF assistance. No "l'IF assistance or level of assistance has been approved ley
the 1-IRA. No building or site plans have been sublllittecl to the Design Advisory Team,
Plarlnin~~ Commission, or City Council for consideration to approve or disapprove. Again, the
City is only requesting time to work o-1 redevelopment projects. giving the local commissions
and council the opportunity to review and approve or disapprove building anti site plans. The
bill is not asking the State I-louse and Senator to appr•ove'or disapprove local redevelopment
projects nor does the LIRA or Counctl believe that is the role of the State House or Senate.
Scconcily, if the Monticello Special Legislation I3ill is not passed about $1.2 million of the ~2?
million bond sold will he left (tn-spent. You may asl.: Why slid the Monticello HRA not spend
the money in the first 5 years'? City ot'Monticello is a small town located outside the severl-
county, rrretro area (2002 population - 8,839). [n the kirst five-years of the TIP District, file City
entertaitlecl developers to entice redevelopment projects but were: unsuccessful. Just recently,

There's little question that ;
Barber will play before a larger
gallery Thursday than at any
point in his rookie season.
Toumannent officials are ex-
i I petting record crowds for the
tournament, and the USA Net-
work has increased~its coverage
of the first two rounds of the
tournament to show Sar-
enstam'splay live.
' "I'll get relaxed," said Barber,
who had played minitours
throughout North. America be-
fore making itthrough the PGA
first six, seven holes and it was
too late."
In addition, Barber said he
feels much mare at peace now
since his wife gave birth to a
baby boy, their first child, last
week.
"That's such a calrning in-
fluence,"Barber said. "He's
healthy and Leah's healthy.
That keeps things in perspec-
tive. This is just golf."
Barber said he isn't going to
preoccupy himself with trying
to hit the ball farther than
Two aces, two new cars
for golfers in Monticello
By Mark Craig
Star Tribune Staff Writer
I
No golfer ever makes a hole
in one to win the shiny new car,
right?
We try. We fail. The car re-
turns to the local showroom.
That's just the way it is -
except for at ,last Thursday's
annual Monticello Chamber of
Comxxiterce golf tournament.
Car dealers were losing their
wheels so fast, the Monticello
Country Club needed speed
bumps around its par 3s.
"When I gat to the seventh
hole, there was a sign that said
the car had already been won,"
said Tom Feaski, chamber
president and tournament di-
rector. "Then, by the tune I get
to the 14th hole, the car on that
hole was gone, too! I never had
a chance."
Jason Liestman, 34, of Beck-
erused a 4-iron from 175 yards
over a bunker to ace the sev-
enth hole. About 45 minutes
later, Jahn Frie, 25, of Monti-
cello spun an 8-iron over a
pond and back into the cup on
the 174-yard 14th hale.
"I heard about the first hole
in one and I'm thinking, `Na
way, that never happens,' "
Frie said. "A scratch golfer in
my foursome said he's never
seen it happen, and he plays in
a million of these things. Then I
get one. My second hole inane
in a month. Wild."
Liestman won a $20,500 PT
Cruiser from Denny Hecker's
Monticello Dodge. Frie won a
$33,500 Buick LeSabre from
West Metro Buick Pontiac
GMC. Insurance covered the
cast of both vehicles.
"I have a company car," Li-
estman said. "But my wife's
minivan has 185,000 miles on
it. The other day, she said, 'You
know, those PT Cruisers are
nice.' So I gat her one."
According to the United
States Golf Register, the odds of
hitting a hole in one are any-
where from one in 20,000 to one
in 33,000. This was Liestman.'s
first hole in one. Frie has two.
"I can't afford another'one,"
Frie said. "The bar bills are kill-
ing me."
The odds of two holes in
one coming in one tournament
with 136 players are hard to de-
termine.
"It has to be one in 10 mil-
lion," Feaski said. "And we a1-
most had two more, We had
cars on two of the other par 3s.
One hole, a guy came about an
inch from a hale in one. The
other hole, a guy came within
maybe six inches."
Feaski said people already
are filling up next year's tour-
nament.
"People want a part of this,"
Feaski said. "They know when
the car dealers up here say
they're giving away cars,
they're really giving away cars."
