A roll call vote was performed: <br />Member MacLennan aye <br />Member Olson aye <br />Chairperson Cords aye <br />Member Riley aye <br />Member Howell aye <br />Motion carried. <br />Chairperson Cords welcomed Deputy City Administrator/Community Development Director <br />Hagen. <br />4. EDA BUSINESS <br />4.01: Consider Purchase Agreement for Parcel 50; Case of Java Properties <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan presented the staff report. <br />Chairperson Cords stated that he likes the idea and is positive about moving forward. He stated <br />that there is a discussion about securing a right-in/right-out access and asked if there has been <br />thought about how that will work with the Highway 10 improvements. <br />Mark Krogh, Java Companies, commented that the right-in/right-out is for Veterans Drive and is <br />critical to the whole development. He stated that the phase one tenants are ready to go. He stated <br />that he will get details from staff about that concern. He noted that they have talked about the <br />Highway 10 construction with the tenants. <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan commented that access to any County road requires <br />discussion and approval from the County. He noted that once the PA is approved, they will move <br />forward to the County for review. He stated that speaking with engineering there would be a six - <br />to -eight -foot elevation change to the ramp and therefore Veterans Drive would be sloped to <br />connect. He stated that realistically the official layout will be approved within the next few weeks <br />and then engineering will design the details for the Highway 10 improvements. <br />Chairperson Cords referenced the six -to -eight -foot rise and asked if that would be handled with <br />retaining walls or whether parking would be lost. <br />Mr. Krogh believed that they could handle it with grading but could also use boulder walls if <br />necessary. He referenced a project they completed in Champlin with similar product used. <br />Member Riley thanked Java for being present. He stated that this is an exciting project, and he is <br />glad Java stayed through the discussions with PACT. He asked for details on the timing of phases <br />one and two. <br />Economic Development Authority/ November 18, 2021 <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />
