ACTION REQUESTED - ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Motion to approve the letter of support for the Wright County Economic Development
Partnership's Childcare Grant submittal to MN -DEED.
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
The Wright County Economic Development Partnership (WCEDP) is planning to submit a
$600,000 Childcare Grant application to MN -DEED on October 31, 2024. The funding is being
sought to support the effort by Kids' Haven Daycare and Preschool (Missy Sjolin) to establish a
new daycare facility in Monticello. Her current facility in Buffalo is full and she has
approximately 42 +/- Monticello families that drive their children to her Buffalo facility. A
portion of the WCEDP Grant, if approved, would also be used to support several existing
childcare facilities in the County with other smaller remodeling or facility upgrade projects.
A survey completed by First Children's Finance, Minneapolis, in 2018 indicates that Monticello
had a childcare slot shortage of over 700. The current shortfall number is estimated to be
between 620 and 680 slots. A letter of support from the EDA would be appropriate in
demonstrating its awareness of the importance of the effort to address an issue that may help
mitigate negative impacts stemming from the local childcare slot shortage.
I. Budget Impact: N/A
II. Staff Workload Impact: City staff involved in the housing report summary includes the City
Administrator, Community Development Director, and Economic Development Manager.
III. Comprehensive Plan Impact: The Economic Development section of the Comprehensive Plan
encourages formation of an effective economic development effort which creates a
supportive business environment and builds a vibrant, thriving local economy.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend approval of the letter of support to the WCEDP for the Childcare Grant
funding application submittal to MN -DEED.

Dear Missy and WCEDP Board Members:
OFFICE:763-295-2711 FAX:763-295-4404
505 Walnut Street Suite 1 I Monticello, MN 55362
The City of Monticello Economic Development Authority (EDA) is pleased to provide a letter of support
for the WCEDP's Childcare Grant application submittal to MN -DEED in the amount of $600,000. The EDA
and City leadership team fully recognize that adequate childcare is a critically important issue that is
integral to the City of Monticello's overall economic development effort. The current known childcare
slot gap of approximately 620 to 650 slots (this is a slight decrease from a 2018 survey indicating the slot
gap was 705) indicates that this issue still needs to be addressed to mitigate the negative impacts on the
local economy. City staff policy leaders frequently hear anecdotal stories from various local businesses
indicating how the childcare slot shortage in Monticello negatively impacts production goals or customer
service.
While City staff have met with various childcare providers interested in addressing the childcare slot gap
over the past few years, the concept proposals always seem to be upended due to a lack of adequate
funding. We are hopeful that the recent discussions of a new daycare facility concept by Kids Haven
Daycare and Preschool (Missy Sjolin) will be able to come to fruition with the support of MN-DEED's
Childcare Grant funding. With that in mind, the WCEDP Childcare Grant application to MN -DEED to
support the expansion of the number of quality childcare providers and strengthen the regional and local
economy is a critically important effort.
If you have any questions or need any additional information from the City of Monticello EDA, please
feel free to reach out to Jim Thares, Economic Development Manager, at 763-271-3254 or

ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to adopt EDA Resolution 2024-21 approving a Facade Improvement Loan to J&J
Properties in the amount of $13,172, contingent upon execution of the required Loan
Agreement and Promissory Note by the applicant and compliance with cash match
requirements.
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
The City has received a complete Facade Improvement Forgivable Loan application from J&J
Properties LLC (Monticello Family Dentistry), located at 201 W. Broadway. The application
submittal follows a December 2023 EDA workshop discussing the potential expansion of the
Downtown Facade Improvement Program target area and adoption of an amendment of the
Policies at the January 10, 2024, regular meeting.
Recently, Christian Block, owner of Monticello Family Dentistry, submitted a complete Facade
Improvement application along with improvement plans and quotes from contractors related
to exterior improvements, including:
• New staining of the exterior brick facade on 4 sides of the building
• Concrete repairs to the base of the building
• New door on Walnut Street
• New exterior signage at Walnut Street door
• Enhanced rear entrance with the door painted to match the red brick
The program policy amendments adopted by the EDA in January grant the EDA the flexibility to
approve facade improvements on any or all sides of the building. The amendments also allow
flexibility from the requirement for contractor supplied plans versus licensed architectural
drawings. The plans submitted by J&J Properties comply with the intent of the amendment. The
building has had very little exterior change to its original 1900 brick construction. As such, no
EDA Agenda: 10/23/2024
new renderings are required for historic reference. For reference, a historical image of the
building is an attached exhibit.
Specific materials submitted for EDA review of the proposal include the following:
✓ A completed application with a summary of the proposal
✓ Improvement project quotes (two quotes as required by the program policy were
submitted; the best desired quote consistent with policy is included in the packet. The
applicant has had difficulties securing two concrete bids per the policy. Staff has
included the rejection letters from concrete bids to satisfy the two bid requirements.
✓ Affidavit regarding owner financial commitment (equity)
✓ Property and ownership information
The preferred contractors' building permit costs are eligible project expenses per the program
policy. See the breakout below:
■ Facade Improvements - $11,900
o Brick Staining - $8,160
o Concrete - $3,404
o Door - $336
■ Signage Improvements - $900
■ Building Permit - $372 (Estimate by City staff)
■ Total Improvement Project Cost: $13,172
As required by the program policy, J&J Properties is required to contribute a minimum 5%
match which totals $640. J&J Properties has indicated they will meet this requirement in cash
payment to the contractor. J&J Properties will be required to make the initial payment, with
proof of such payment to the EDA, prior to release of EDA funds.
A public hearing is not required as the amount of the loan does not reach the threshold
required for public comment under Minnesota's Business Subsidy Statute. Consistent with the
program policy, the Loan is forgivable with the intent that it becomes a grant to the recipient if
certain conditions of property ownership are met. As noted in the Loan Agreement, the loan
forgiveness takes place in increments over three years.
Budget Impact: The budgetary impact related to consideration of the Fagade Loan is the
Fagade sub -fund of the EDA General Fund itself. The Fagade Loan sub -fund currently has
$150,003.07 available. Legal fees for the preparation of the resolution and the loan
documents are estimated to cost $1,250 +/-.
II. Staff Workload Impact: Staff involved in review of the facade proposal include
the EDA attorney, Community & Economic Development Coordinator, Community
Development Director, Building Official, and Economic Development Manager. No
additional staff are needed to complete the work tasks related to this proposal.
EDA Agenda: 10/23/2024
III. Comprehensive Plan Impact: The Monticello 2040 Vision + Plan identifies the
Downtown as a "development focus" area with the intent of promoting investment and
redevelopment of key properties and parcels in the City's core area. The subject parcel,
201 W Broadway, is located at the intersection of the newly reconstructed Broadway
Street and Walnut Street. The Downtown Small Area Plan includes a goal of "shifting the
Center of Downtown to Broadway and Walnut Street" and this project is in support of
that goal. This block is also a critical connection between the continued public investment
in a renewed West Bridge Park and Broadway Street businesses. This street is slated to
include additional public improvements including, but not limited to, overhead string
lights, swinging benches and public art. By using its available tools such as the Facade
Loan Program to assist in property investment, the EDA is helping to facilitate the effort to
realize Comprehensive Plan goal "A vibrant and thriving Downtown that contributes to
the City's economic development and housing objectives" (Chapter 5, 2040 Plan).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend approval of the Downtown Facade Improvement Program Forgivable Loan for
J&J Properties LLC in the amount of $13,172.

pay unpaid late charges and any other charges, including attorneys' fees and protective advances; and then

provided for in the Loan Agreement has expired, the entire principal amount outstanding and any other
charges due hereon shall at once become due and payable at the option of the Lender or the holder hereof.

of the right to exercise the same right to accelerate the note at any subsequent time.
The Borrower may prepay the principal under this note at any time and from time to time, in whole
or in part, without premium or penalty.
DOCSOPEN\MN325\40\982722.v1-10/15/24

but not limited to, those costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees of Lender whether or not suit is filed with
respect thereto and whether or not such cost or expense is paid or incurred or to be paid or incurred prior to
or after the entry of judgment or for the pursuance of, or defense of, any litigation, appellate, bankruptcy,
or insolvency proceeding.
Presentment, notice of dishonor and protest are hereby waived by all makers, sureties, guarantors,
and endorsers hereof. This Note shall be binding upon Borrower, its successors, and assigns.
The remedies of Lender, as provided herein and in the Loan Agreement, shall be cumulative and
concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively, or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may
be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy
shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.
Time is of the essence hereof.

regard to principles of conflicts of law.

ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to adopt Resolution 2024-22 approving a Second Master Amendment Agreement and
Guaranty Agreements related to a GMEF Loan to RRG Holdings, LLC and Sota Car Wash, LLC
(Due North).
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
City staff were recently informed that the ownership structure of the Due North Car Wash is
transitioning with the exit of founding partner Cory and Jessica Kampschroer and the addition
of Chad Melin joining founding partners Jason and Ellen Halvorson and Nate Pierson. As a
result, the EDA is asked to consider approving the Second Master Amendment Agreement and
two Guaranty Agreement documents, all of which are attached to this report as exhibits. One
Guaranty Agreement is to add Chad Melin as a new Guarantor to the Loan while the second
Guaranty Agreement revises a previous Guaranty Agreement. The existing Guaranty Agreement
combined the Guaranty of four individuals, Cory and Jessica Kampschroer and Jason and Ellen
Halvorson. The action proposed in the Master Amendment Agreement releases Cory and
Jessica Kampschroer's Guaranty while the new Guaranty Agreement re -commits Jason and
Ellen Halvorson as Guarantors of the GMEF Loan.
EDA funding assistance for the $5,400,000 +/- car wash development was provided through a
$140,000 GMEF Loan. Funding was approved by the EDA on August 25, 2021. The loan is
secured through a subordinate mortgage lien against the property located at 1301 Cedar Street,
Monticello, MN. The car wash opened in the spring of 2022. The GMEF Loan was a minor
portion of the overall financing package comprising less than 3 percent of the total funding. The
Initiative Foundation also provided a loan of $200,000. The loan has an outstanding balance of
$125,732.89.
Prompted by the proposed ownership changes, Cor Trust Bank, the primary lender, provided a
summary review update of the business operations and the overall credit risk analysis. The
analysis indicates that the business is performing well and beyond its revenue projections. The
EDA Agenda: 10/23/24
bank also completed a thorough review of the financial information submitted by new partner,
Chad Melin, and determined that credit risk is enhanced significantly by the strength of his
involvement as a new owner partner of the business.
I. Budget Impact: The EDA General Fund budget impact from the proposed Second Master
Amendment Agreement and the Guaranty document changes is minimal. The legal fees
related to drafting the documents and the resolution are expected to total $975.00 +/-. The
legal fees will be invoiced to the RRG Holdings, LLC-Sota Car Wash, LLC.
II. Staff Workload Impact: The Community Development Director, Finance Director and
Economic Development Manager have modest amounts of time committed to completing
the tasks related to the proposed Second Master Amendment Agreement and the two
Guaranty Agreements. The EDA attorney involvement was related to drafting the various
documents attached to the staff report. Additional time toward this effort involves report
preparation and meeting presentation time. No other staff are required to complete the
work involved in this effort.
III. Comprehensive Plan Impact: The Economic Development section of the Comprehensive
Plan encourages formation of an effective economic development effort which creates a
supportive business environment and builds a vibrant, thriving local economy.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend the EDA approve the Second Master Amendment Agreement and the two
loan Guaranty Agreements. The proposed document changes are due to ownership structure
transitions of the business. Also, according to a summary review and analysis by Cor Trust
Bank, the addition of Chad Melin as a Guarantor strengthens the financial underpinnings of the
business and enhances the credit risk profile of the business and the debt service requirements
associated with the development project and ongoing business.

Borrower executed and delivered to the EDA a Promissory Note, dated September 23, 2021 (the "Promissory

guarantor to provide security for the Loan. Following the delivery of the Master Amendment Agreement, to
secure repayment of the Promissory Note, Cory Kampschroer, Jessica Kampschroer, Ellen Halvorson, Nate
Pierson and Jason Halvorson were guarantors of the Loan.
Whereas, the Borrower has requested that the EDA eliminate Cory Kampschroer and Jessica
Kampschroer as guarantors on the Loan and replace them with Chad Melin as an additional guarantor.

Guaranty Agreement and requires the delivery of the Guaranty Agreements of Chad Melin, Ellen Halvorson
and Jason Halvorson in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A and Exhibits B (together, the

deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

even date herewith delivered by Borrower (the "Mortgage") and by personal guaranties of Chad
Melin, Ellen Halvorson, Jason Halvorson and Nate Pierson (altogether, the "Guaranty"). If any
such security is found to be invalid for whatever reason, such invalidity shall constitute an Event

against Lender.
Section 1.4. In the event of a default in the payment of principal of the Note when and as the

Section 1.8. The performance or observance of any promise or condition set forth in this
Guaranty may be waived, amended, or modified only by a writing signed by Guarantor and Lender.

state of Minnesota. Any disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of this Guaranty shall be heard

unenforceable in any respect, such illegality or unenforceability shall not affect other provisions or
applications that can be given effect, and this Guaranty shall be construed as if the unlawful or
unenforceable provision or application had never been contained herein or prescribed hereby.

5. Consideration of Resolution #2021-11 Authorizing a GMEF Loan Agreement between the
EDA and RRG Holdings, LLC and Sota Car Wash, LLC, co -borrowers, in the amount of
140 000 (JT)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
RRG Holdings LLC and Sota Car Wash LLC, co -borrowers, recently submitted a GMEF Loan
application seeking $140,000 to fill a funding gap for a proposed car wash facility. The cost
of the development proposal is expected to total $4,619,000. The proposed development
site is the former Danner semi -truck terminal and repair shop located at 1301 Cedar Street.
Under the City zoning ordinance, a car wash, as proposed, is a permitted use in the B-3
Zoning District.
The applicant has indicated that the facility would be a new generation style operation and
will use enhanced technology and design features ensuring fast, high -quality car washes in a
customer -centric and friendly environment. Besides offering differentiated service levels
and prices, Sota Car Wash's business model includes a membership rate/month which allows
numerous washes each month. The business plan includes market research with current
and projected demographics and relies on the visibility of the site to enable it to capture a
percentage of the nearly 25,000 to 30,000 vehicles traveling past the facility via MNTH 25
daily.
The proposed development involves real estate and is technically a special use building and a
start-up, so the Bank -SBA loans combined are limited to 80 percent of the funding. This
leaves the developer -applicant responsible to identify and gain commitments for 20 percent
of the funding. Multiple gap lenders are proposed as sources of approximately 9.5 percent
of the proposal. The proposed financing structure is shown in the Sources and Uses below:

Sota Car Wash is proposing to create 4 new FTE jobs and 4 new part-time jobs over the next
two years. In addition to job creation, a community benefit is the redevelopment of a visible
1.16-acre site. Currently, the site has older non -conforming metal buildings. It has a
property value of $450,100 and generates approximately $11,000 in property taxes. Under
the proposed redevelopment, the value may increase substantially and generate more than
twice as much in annual property taxes. The details of the key loan terms are shown below.
MN325\46\741914.v2
EDA: 08/25/21
Loan Amount = $140,000
Loan Term = 20-year amortization with a 10' year balloon payment
3. Interest Rate = 1.25 percent (per GMEF Loan policies)
4. Collateral = Shared 3rd Real Estate Mortgage with IF (pro-rata)
5. Personal Guaranty: Yes; Corey Kampschroer (70 percent owner) and Jason Halverson (30
percent owner)
6. Loan Close Date = September 16 or 17, 2021
7. Deferral Period: P & I Loan Payments to Start in May 2022
8. Job Creation = 4 FTE jobs and 4 part-time jobs over two years
9. Loan Origination Fee = 1.5 percent; $2,100
The loan documents involved in the consideration include the following:
• Loan Agreement
• Mortgage Agreement
• Promissory Note
• Personal Guaranty of owners
• Intercreditor Agreement with IF #1 for Mortgage Collateral
Al. STAFF IMPACT: The amount of staff time committed to the file is approximately 22
hours including document preparation, EDA staff report preparation and meeting time. Staff
involved includes the EDA Attorney, the Community Development Director, and the
Economic Development Manager.
The applicant paid the required fee to have Central Minnesota Development Corporation
(CMDC) complete a thorough underwriting analysis of the credit and associated risks.
CMDC, Andover, MN, is a Certified Development Company originating SBA 504 loans.
It is also involved as the SBA lender providing 30 percent of the funding in the car wash
proposal.
A2. BUDGET IMPACT: The budgetary impact related to consideration of the EDA-GMEF loan
request is to the loan fund itself. The fund currently has approximately $1,062,000 +/-
available to be loaned out. This loan request of $140,000 is equal to approximately 13
percent of the available funds in the GMEF Loan program account. The application
fee and origination fee should cover the legal fees that the EDA incurs related to document
preparation by the EDA attorney.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
Motion to adopt Resolution #2021-11 authorizing GMEF Loan Agreement and related
Mortgage between the EDA and RRG Holdings, LLC and Sota Car Wash, LLC, co -
borrowers, in the amount of $140,000.
MN325\46\741914.v2
EDA: 08/25/21
2. Motion to table Resolution #2021-11 for further research and/or discussion.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative #1. The loan request was underwritten by CMDC in a "Credit
Memo" format used by commercial lenders. The Credit Memo indicates that the proposal is
based on a sound business plan that shows projected revenue sufficient to service the debt
sourced by all lenders in the proposal. Also, the individual guarantors have a history of
responsible use of credit in the past. Kevin Weeres, CMDC, will attend the meeting to
provide an overview of the key criteria involved in preparing the Credit Memo and
summarize the approval recommendation.
In summary, the GMEF loan request is recommended because the financial projections
indicate a high expectation of repayment. The loan proposal is a critical component of the
funding for a new business in the community. It also merits approval due to the overall
context of the proposed gap financing structure. The community's economic benefits
include new job creation, an increase in the tax base and redevelopment of a visible site that
is currently occupied by an older metal building structure.

4.4. Business History & Description
Date operations began 05/24/2021
Sota Car Wash LLC (SCW) is a newly formed entity that is owned by Cory Kampschroer and Jason Halvorson.
A business plan was prepared by Cory Kampschroer as well as an independent feasibility study that was required by CorTrust and
CMDC was performed by Jim Sauer of Strategic Performance Group, LLC (SPG). Cory and Jason's business plan and Jim Sauer's
positive recommendation are the basis of Cory and Jason's decision to move forward with the Monticello opportunity.
Jim Sauer is President of SPG, a market research firm with offices in Southwest Florida and the north metro region of Minneapolis
Saint Paul, MN. With over 45 years of hands-on business experience in both corporate and entrepreneurial settings, Jim has been
involved in all types of challenges typically encountered in business and industry. For the past two decades, Jim has been actively
involved as a consultant to hundreds of businesses, providing expertise in the areas of strategy formulation and feasibility studies.
Prior to his consulting career, Jim was employed for 20 years in a broad range of middle and senior management positions with
several Fortune 500 companies.
SCW will operate as a dual belt conveyor system express exterior car wash. This express exterior dual belt conveyor car wash
system is the industry's most modern, advanced, efficient, and profitable business model for new construction car washes. A unique
factor of the dual belt conveyor system is how the automobiles move through the wash tunnel. Rather than the old-style system that
grabs the driver's side front tire and pulls the auto through, the dual belt system allows the customer to load quicker and much easier
and is a smoother ride.
The concept of the dual belt conveyor car wash is the extremely fast wash, which not only eliminates waiting time due to fast
processing but it's the highest quality wash in the industry outside of full -serve washing. SCW will have the ability to wash every type
of vehicle under 7' tall, outside of service vehicles, due to the loading nature. They can wash cars with low -profile rims and they will
not touch them with anything other than the closed -cell foam material, designed not to retain water or particles, as well as premium
cloth in their washes and they can wash vehicles including full-size trucks with dual axles. SCW's 120-foot tunnel wash can wash
roughly 120 cars per hour. With SCW's two pay stations, payment -processing time takes roughly 15 to 30 seconds, and about 45 to
90 seconds per car to wash. With the wash never stopping, they can be washing about 5 to 6 cars at all times. The competition in the
Monticello area has what the industry classifies as in -bay automatics. These washes are typically unmanned and have extremely
long wait times. An in -bay automatic car wash has a typical wash time of 5-7 minutes per vehicle, meaning a single in -bay automatic
can wash between 10-12 cars per hour. The limit of washing 1 car at a time at nearly 6 minutes per car resulting in long lines.
Another unique feature of SCW will be that not only will they have vacuums on the outside of the building, but they will also have
vacuums inside the building that will be available to members of a specific car wash club level. This feature will be well received
during the winter months in Minnesota.
There is no other conveyor wash in Monticello. An aspect of SCW's business model is it will offer unlimited monthly memberships.
For $20 - $35 per month, SCW's experience will allow customers more control and ease. Before they even step onto the property,
consumers can quickly and easily sign up for a club membership right from their phone within a matter of minutes. The membership
app features license plate recognition and simple, easy one -touch account management. There is no need for consumers to be
issued RFID equipment to put on their windshields. The license plate technology and reader are 98.5% accurate. Membership allows
for unlimited car washes per month. The basis for this model is that SCW will get customer loyalty and regardless of weather, they
get a set amount of income each month and the customer will wash regardless of the forecast. The express exterior focuses only on
the auto's exterior. Customers can also utilize free self -serve vacuuming with any wash.
Marketing and Sales:
SCW will attract new customers through creative, smart, effective, and engaging marketing. Traditional marketing will include radio,
newspaper, TV, direct mail, social media, community events, etc. In addition, SCW plans to have a stand-alone marketing campaign
exclusively focused on the pre -opening, soft opening, and grand opening events.
Industry
Per IBIS World, Over the next five years, revenue for the Car Wash and Auto Detailing industry is forecast to expand roughly 4% per
year. Industry operators will benefit from improved consumer spending levels, which will fuel increased spending on discretionary
services such as car washing and auto detailing. However, rising oil and gas prices are expected to somewhat hamper stronger
industry revenue growth as some consumers will reduce driving and return to money -saving habits, such as carpooling and public
transit. Additionally, as the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic is not completely contained, many businesses will continue work -from -
home arrangements for employees, keeping car use from returning to pre -pandemic levels.
As previously stated, Jim Sauer from SPG performed an independent feasibility study. The following is a summary analysis of the
study.

Motion to adopt Resolution 2024-23 approving a First Amendment to the Purchase and TIF
Development Contract with Block 52 Holdings, LLC, Buchholz Exchange, LLC and Norgren
Exchange, LLC increasing the Authority Grant by $50,000 to a total of $417,400.
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
At the time of the 2022 EDA approval of the Purchase and (TIF) Development contract with the
Block 52 developers, funding for the Authority Grant assistance to help complete extensive site
improvements was authorized at a total of $367,400. As a reminder, the Authority Grant is
sourced through pooled TIF dollars generated from several older redevelopment TIF districts in
the City.
Recently City staff and the developer discussed the challenges of finalizing the neighboring east
wall fagade project (based on their property survey information, the developer of Block 52 is
the owner of the east wall abutting the adjacent mattress store), and the public improvement
elements amid significantly increasing costs. A potential solution was put forward to utilize
available pooled dollars over and above the previous commitment of $367,400 to further assist
the developer with various improvement items in Block 52 which have public benefit such as
the following:
✓ Parking Paving
✓ Parking Lot Excavation
✓ Internal Sidewalk and Landscaping
✓ Street Sidewalks
✓ Plaza Concrete and Landscaping
✓ ROW Landscape/Streetscape
The developer has submitted a letter for EDA review documenting the cost increase for the
various public improvements and is concurrently asking for an additional $50,000 to offset the
EDA Agenda: 10/23/24
rising costs of materials and labor. The spirit and intent of this proposal is to retain available
funding in the Facade Improvement program to be used for the mattress store's front and back
exterior surfaces and/or other qualifying projects and utilize pooled Redevelopment TIF dollars
which may otherwise need to be returned to the County in the near future.
If the EDA approves the proposed First Amendment to the TIF Development Contract, then the
Block 52 developer will complete the east wall relatively soon and will forgo bringing forward a
Facade Improvement loan request specific to the east wall. The EDA should also be aware that
the materials that are currently covering the wall have a limited weather exposure time.
I. Budget Impact: The budget impact from the proposed additional Authority Grant funding is
an additional $50,000 of pooled TIF dollars from old TIF Districts that are to be used for
redevelopment activities, which cannot be used for any other activities.
II. Staff Workload Impact: The Community Development Director, Finance Director and
Economic Development Manager have committed time to completing tasks related to the
proposed First Amendment of the Block 52 TIF Development Contract. The EDA attorney
drafted the First Amendment document and the EDA Resolution. Additional time toward
this effort involves report preparation and meeting presentation time. No other staff are
required to complete the work involved in this effort.
III. Comprehensive Plan Impact: The Economic Development section of the Comprehensive
Plan encourages formation of an effective economic development effort which creates a
supportive business environment and builds a vibrant, thriving local economy.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend the EDA approve the First Amendment of the Block 52 TIF Development
Contract. This will allow the east wall facade improvement activities to move forward and
further assist the developer in final public improvement costs related to the Block 52 mixed use
redevelopment project.

ACTION REQUESTED - ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Motion to authorize a Deferred Assessment Agreement with the City for the 14.16-acre parcel
along 7th Street West (former Riverwood Bank parcel) deferring the Assessments until the
property is sold for development.
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
When the EDA purchased the Riverwood Bank site along West 7th Street in December 2023, the
14.16-acre parcel (PID 155-282-000010) had deferred special assessments against it which
sunset in May 2023. The assessments were for the extension of 71h Street West and site
stormwater ponding.
As part of the property purchase, the assessments were assumed with the intent of deferring
payment until time of development. The purchase did not close until after the City's deadline to
send assessment updates to Wright County (Nov. 30 of each year), and therefore the first year
of the 10-year special assessments was activated and included on the EDA's property tax
statement in 2024. The EDA paid the first assessment installment (principal and interest) with
payment of the property taxes in May 2024.
The total special assessment amount against the property is $553,828. Per the assumed
agreement, it is carried by the City at a rate of 5.5 percent. The first assessment installment
payment was in the amount of $127,185.66, which breaks down as $34,335.84 in principal and
the remaining $92,849.82 being interest.
At a workshop meeting in late 2023, the EDA discussed the vision and goals for its land
holdings. The goals for the 14.16-acre site along 7th Street reflect the designations shown in the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use guidance, Commercial and Residential Flex. Light industrial
options were also discussed. With the recent completion of marketing materials and related
tasks identified by the EDA in its land discussion, staff believe it may be possible to now create
more awareness of this desirable site among the broker and developer community in the
greater Twin Cities region.
EDA Agenda: 10/23/24
The City Council approved the Deferred Assessment Agreement and the related refund of the
2024 assessment principal and interest payment at its October 14, 2024, regular Council
meeting.
I. Budget Impact: The budget impact is positive from the proposed action related to the
Assessment Agreement is positive. If the EDA authorizes the Deferred Assessment
Agreement, it will result in a positive 2024 EDA budget impact by returning the May 2024
payment in the amount of $127,185.66 back to the EDA General Fund for other uses. It will
also likewise impact future annual budgets with the same amount of cost savings, equating
II. Staff Workload Impact: City staff involved in this issue includes the City Administrator,
Finance Director, Community Development Director, and Economic Development Manager.
III. Comprehensive Plan Impact: N/A
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend the EDA approve the Assessment Agreement deferring the $553,828 in 429
Public Improvement Special Assessments until the property is sold for development. This action
will have a positive impact on the EDA General Fund budget going forward and will move those
costs to potential end users or developers who will benefit from the 71" Street improvements.

2. CONDITIONS OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. Upon execution of this Agreement,
the City will plat the RiverWood Property and the City Property, order the Public Improvements and will

West 7t' Street. The City shall seek to have the extension completed and usable by July 15, 2014.
3. PLAT OF RIVERWOOD PROPERTY AND CITY PROPERTY. In order to facilitate

improvements serving the RiverWood Property and public lands, RiverWood Bank and the City shall
jointly apply for and submit a preliminary and final plat for the RiverWood Property and City Property
identifying the lots and public rights of way and dedications substantially consistent with the plans and
specifications for the Public Improvements and the proposed plat of Great River Addition, attached hereto
as Exhibit C. The Public Improvement plans shall not be attached to this Agreement. The City shall prepare
the proposed plat and the plat application, application fees, and submittal documents shall be submitted prior

The plat shall designate the RiverWood Bank Property, of approximately 4.07 acres, located north
of the proposed West 7th Street Extension as an Outlot, identified as Outlot A in the plat, that shall be
dedicated in the plat for drainage and utility purposes. In addition, the RiverWood Property lying south of
West 7th Street shall be combined with a portion of the City Property to be conveyed to RiverWood under

5. VACATION. Prior to recording the final plat, the City will vacate that portion of
Minnesota Street lying south of the proposed West 7th Street extension, conditioned upon dedication of a
drainage and utility easement over the vacated right of way within the plat or retention thereof within the
vacation resolution. At the time of development of the RiverWood property, the developer shall enter into
an encroachment agreement for parking purposes over the vacated Minnesota Street. No permanent
structures will be allowed on the vacated right of way pursuant to City Ordinance Title 10, Monticello
Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 3, Section 3(A).
6. DEVELOPMENT FEES. Stormwater ponding requirements for the future development
of Outlot B are provided by Outlot A, up to 64,557 square feet. Excess ponding area of approximately
one acre is available to the City within Outlot A for development of property outside of the RiverWood
development. With the dedication of ponding area within Outlot A, future development of the
RiverWood Property will not be subject to the City's alternate ponding fee, which is currently set at
$6,997.00/acre.
RiverWood shall pay City trunk fees for development of Outlot B, Great River Addition, at the
rate in effect at the time of development, subject to the following cap on trunk fees:
Storm Sewer Trunk Fee = $3,570.00 per acre
Watermain = $2,494.00 per acre
Sanitary Sewer Trunk Fee = $3,371.00 per acre

positive drainage to the roadway. Any excess material resulting from grading operations will be accepted
by RiverWood and stockpiled for future use by RiverWood on the RiverWood Property located on the
south side of West 7' Street, at an agreed upon location prior to grading operations commencing.
Thereafter, RiverWood will be responsible for erosion control and maintenance of the stockpile on the
RiverWood Property after the road is constructed and restoration is established, after the contractor
warranty period expires for the Public Improvements.
8. TRAIL. Simultaneous with the recording of the plat, RiverWood Bank will provide a 10
foot wide trail easement for the trail to be located on Outlot A, substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit E.

is developed, the assessments on the undeveloped portion shall continue to be deferred pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement. Upon development or expiration of the 10 year deferral hereunder, the area assessment

installments, together with Prime Rate of interest plus two percent (2%) per year on the unpaid balance.

B. If any portion, section, subsection, sentence, clause, paragraph, or phrase of this
Agreement is for any reason held invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion

provisions of this Agreement. To be binding, amendments or waivers shall be in writing, signed by the
parties and approved by written resolution of the City Council. The City's failure to promptly take legal
