Economic Development Authority (EDA) <br /> Meeting Date: 04/13/2017 <br /> Submitted For: Patrick Brama,Administrative Services <br /> By: Patrick Brama,Administrative Services <br /> Title: <br /> Update: Shovel Ready Reports Completed <br /> Purpose/Background: <br /> Per the attached case memo (06/02/2016),WSB &Associates was retained by the City to complete/prepare/obtain <br /> various documents related to the future development of various city-owned properties (survey,title work,phase I <br /> ESA, if needed phase iI ESA,utility information, site pics, soil borings, etc.). This information, as a whole, is often <br /> times referred to as "shovel-ready" pre-development information. This information is very useful for a developer <br /> considering the purchase and development of land. <br /> The State of Minnesota has a program known as "Minnesota Shovel Ready Sites" which certifies this work, and <br /> plugs said certifications into the State of Minnesota's marketing pipeline.NOTE: the State of Minnesota marketing <br /> efforts, and shovel ready certification program, is not geared towards retail, residential, or mixed properties. This <br /> program is geared towards industrial land(i.e. manufacturing,warehouse, office, etc.). <br /> WSB &Associates has completed all work necessary to apply to the State Shovel Ready Program, including <br /> pre-filling applications. Attached to this case is a simply overview of each site (3-4 pages).NOTE:the actual <br /> findings/reports for each site are several hundred pages. If you would like to see the actual detailed findings for <br /> each site,please email staff--we will download onto a jump drive. <br /> Notification: <br /> Observations/Alternatives: <br /> Future Business Park <br /> Overall site appears to be clean. The large soil mound is not buildable material, and will need to be moved. There is <br /> debris across the site from people camping. Arterial infrastructure partially completed.Now that the business park <br /> will include the former Legacy Christian Academy site (i.e. 65 acres has been added), staff would like complete a <br /> shovel ready report for that site as well, and combined the two reports. Then, staff will obtain the State of Minnesota <br /> certification. <br /> #37 <br /> This site did not come up clean. Soil vapor and water contamination exists (per the Phase 11 ESA). Additional work <br /> is needed on this site,including reporting to the MPCA. Likely, a limited site investigation(LSI)will be needed. <br /> Staff does not intend to obtain a State of Minnesota certification for this site until these items are resolved. <br /> #42 <br /> Overall this appears to be clean. Because this site only allows retail uses, staff does not intend to obtain a State of <br /> Minnesota certification for this site until these items are resolved. <br /> #45 <br /> This site did not come up clean. Soil vapor and water contamination exists (per the Phase 11 ESA). Additional work <br />
