City Administrator Ulrich stated they are not able by a charter to force assessments on Hageman <br />on this case; however, Capstone could front the cost and as property develops the hook up fee or <br />assessment cost could go back to Capstone for reimbursement. The City does not want to pay <br />that entire cost. <br />Chairperson Steffen asked if the City was getting ahead of itself if they were to rezone Hageman <br />before Capstone because it could fall through. <br />Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama stated from purely a business park <br />perspective this layout might be better for the City. He reviewed the advantages with the Board. <br />Member Skaff asked if zoning would allow for a potential school to go in there again. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated they do not have a zoning district right now <br />that allows for both, they would have to create that district. <br />Member Hardin asked if the study should be done before they embark on a zoning change and do <br />they know what the price per square foot will be upon completion of the infrastructure. How <br />much would they have to sell this land for and would it be competitive with other cities. <br />Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama stated the price per square foot is $2.00 <br />a square foot on the Hageman properties and he thought it would be logical to eliminate risk that <br />they will jack up prices on the back end so they will need to come to some sort of agreement on <br />asking price on the property to protect the City. He stated the market asking prices for industrial <br />land ranges from $2.50 to $3.50 per square foot in the surrounding cities. Deal prices are lower. <br />He indicated the $2.00 per square foot includes the current assessments. He thought they will <br />need to discuss future assessments and come up with an agreement with Hageman on those <br />items. He stated internal assessments will need to be paid for by the developer. <br />Member Hardin indicated the explanation did not answer his question of what the future price <br />would be of this land because they are talking about rezoning the property without knowing what <br />the future price will end up being. <br />Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama stated the Board could do an analysis <br />of what internal infrastructure would look like and how it would affect project prices they could <br />do that in the future. <br />Member Hardin stated he was concerned with how they are competing with neighboring <br />communities and if the future costs will be consistent or too high/low. <br />Member Hardin left the meeting at 9:45 a.m. <br />Chairperson Steffen asked what happens to the $8,000 the EDA will be spending for rezoning. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated they can discuss this. The City does not <br />charge the applicants that amount of cost if there is a Comp Plan Amendment.
