Follow up answers were provided via email, and are <br />included in the Findings /port Appendix (click here to view, page 4). A different version of meeting notes <br />was provided by an OMCSudy Group member (click here to view). <br />MI11GAl1ON TECHNIQUES <br />In summary, an overall quality development induding proper implementation of mitigation techniques <br />as outlined in previous sections will protect property values. For example, proper residential <br />transitioning techniques, quality building design, quality site layout, mitigation of specific OMC3udy <br />Group concerns (i.e. noise, safety and traffic), etc. <br />INPUT/ FEEDBACK(at meeting) <br />Below is an outline of concerns and input from OMC3udyGroup members: <br />1. Concern existsthe net benefit of a data center proposal (i.e. tax revenues) does not outweigh <br />the issuesa data center development causes for surrounding property owners. Atax benefit for <br />the City should not be put on the backs of the OMCneighborhood alone. <br />An article was provided by an OMCStudy Group member which identifies the negative impact of <br />industrial development on residential properties, titled "The Impact of Industrial Steson Ft.sidential <br />RopertyValues. AHedonicFt-icing Analysis for the Netherlands." This article outlined a breakdown <br />of residential property loss based on proximity to an industrial development. It was found, <br />residential property value loss was realized from a distance up to 250 meters (or 820') from <br />industrial developments. <br />An OMCStudyGroup member applied principles/findings from the identified article to the <br />development scenario under consideration by the OMCStudyG-oup; which is, a potential data <br />center in Ramsey located adjacent to residential properties. Rndings of the OMCStudy G'oup <br />member are minimum multiple -million dollar losses in property values for surrounding property <br />owners, depending on the scenario applied. <br />aick here for resources: Netherlands Fricinq Analysis Article, 250 Meter Map of S biect Property, <br />CMCStudy Group Member Report. <br />2. Very serious concern still exists by several OMC3udy Group members a data center <br />development located on the Sabject R'opertywill decrease values of surrounding properties by <br />10-15%minimum; and, will reduce the ability of future sales to occur. A number of OMC3udy <br />Group members indicated they had an opportunity to confirm this statement with various real <br />estate agents and real estate appraisers. <br />NOTE a few OMCStudy G'oup members stated a data center will have no effect on surrounding <br />property values. And, if developed correctly, a data center may be a positive for surrounding <br />property values. <br />OMC3udy Group, Findings Paport (DR4F7) Page 38 of 42 <br />
