MEMO January 10, 1996 TO: Board of Directors FROM: Administrative Committee By: Derald Ewing, Chair City of Anoka proposed transmission line placement along the east property line ofthe AEC Energy Park, R~msey, MN, Thc proposed route ofthe City of Anoka transmission line may present a barrier to the joint development of two separate pieces of property at the east entrance of the AEC Energy Park. The properties are owned by the City of Kamsey and AEC (see attached map). This concern is a result of optimizing the design and location of the transmission line fi.om an enginexaSng stand point, while possibly suboptim;Mng the ability to develop the property. The City of Rarnsey and AEC staffbelieve that the ability to optimize the deveIopment of the property has more benefit in the Iong term than optimizing the transmission line placeznent to save costs.

This proposed agreement is as follows (a record of the negotiation and proposed agreemerrt are outline in the attached report from Gary Stout, City of Anoka Negotiation and Development Consultant.): · The Power Line will be put in on the currently proposed alignment.
