1. CALL TO ORDER.
Vice Chairperson Don Smit called the IDC meeting to order
at 7:02 AM.
2. TOM DOLLY: "MONTICELLO C MMUTER PARKING LOT".
.
Vice Chairperson Smith we corned and introduced Tom Dolly
to the IDC. Mr. Dolly pr sented each IDC member with
a written proposal out1in ng the City of Monticello
relinquishing the "Montic 110 Commuter Parking Lot"
(at the south westerly co ner of intersection 1-94
and Hwy 25) in exchange f r Dolly/Dragsten property
(east of Silver Fox and s uth side of Oakwood Drive).
The proposal included the improvements to the Dolly/
Dragsten property with pr of of funding, in the
form of cash in the amoun of $100,000 deposited in
an escrow account or a Le ter of Credit in the form
of a Construction Loan Co mitment. Also, the proposal
included benefits to the ity through projected tax
increment estimates and e p10yment revenues over 30
years. Mr. Dolly informed the IDC that he has presented
the proposal to the City Council. City staff was
further researching MDOT's future plans of the interchange.
Additona1ly, the title of property was never conveyed
from Wright County to th City of Monticello and the
title appears to have at ached restrictions and/or
covenants. At this time the city or council has taken
no action. The IDC disc ssed the potential of MDOT
construction of an inter hange at the NSP Plant
location or a County Ro d 118 easterly on ramp and a
westerly off ramp. Mr. 'Neill informed the IDC that
MDOT was not interested, cost estimates was $200,000
not including 20% engine r fees or land cost therefore
project cost would be fr public and private funds
for the development of t e County Road #118 ramps.

RAMP AT INTERCHANGE 118.
Mr. O'Neill reported that Jim Boyle has approached
him about the potential of a County Road 118 easterly
on ramp and a westerly off ramp which would open up
and create movement in t e area. Cost of the project
is approximately $260,00 inclusive of engineer fees
and with free land. It as suggested that possibly
part of the project cou1 be financed by Tax Increment
Finance if for example a bottle company would locate
in the industrial parks hich would generate sufficient
increment to assist with ramp cost in addition to
reduced land costs. Da1 Lungwitz felt public objection
of the use of TIF to ass st a land developer. It was
the IDC suggestion to re earch additional information
on traffic patterns in t e area of Hwy 25 and Cty Rd
75. The total cost of n w complete interchange is
1.5 million dollars.
