Commissioners Present: Tom Triplett, Dan Lee, Greg Isaacson, and Bruce Swenson. Staff Present: Kristina Handt. Commissioners Absent: Sally Swanson. Motion by Lee, seconded by Swenson to approve the agenda. Motion carried. The board reviewed the sample bylaws provided by Assistant City Attorney Pratt. Motion by Triplett, seconded by Lee to recommend approval of the bylaws to the Council after having the Attorney add a section noting the conflict of interest policy and requiring a written statement from the Commissioners each year. Motion carried. The board reviewed a sample conflict of interest policy modeled after one used by the Washington County HRA. Isaacson asked how much detail needed to be disclosed. Just stating that a potential conflict exists is sufficient. It was noted that if a potential conflict exists the commissioner would not influence the decision, take action in the vote or decision or be counted toward a quorum. Motion by Lee, seconded by Triplett to approve the Conflict of Interest Policy. Motion carried. Handt noted the need to determine the terms for the non -council members so that they would be staggered. Per the bylaws the terms of the first commissioners are for 3, 4 or 5 year terms. It was decided to draw slips of paper to determine the length of initial terms. The results were as follows: Triplett-3 years, Isaacson-4 years and Swenson-5 years. The board discussed the election of officers and decided on the following: President -Sally Swanson, Vice President -Tom Triplett, Treasurer -Dan Lee and Secretary/Assistant Treasurer- Kristina Handt. Motion by Triplett, seconded by Swenson that each officer serve a term of one year. Motion carried. The board discussed requesting a tax levy for 2014. Motion by Lee to request $5,000 for EDA. Discussion about need to segregate funds for EDA and HRA purposes. Handt read from Attorney Pratt's memo to confirm this. Lee rescinded his motion. Motion by Swenson, seconded by Lee to seek a $5,000 levy for each EDA and HRA purposes to be used for legal, engineering, planning and other professional services. Motion carried. The board discussed setting future meeting dates. The next meeting will be the third Monday in September at 6:30pm. Starting in October the regular meeting will be on the second Monday of each month at 6:30pm. The board discussed future agenda items and the following list was noted: inviting members of other EDAs to speak to our group about what they have done and lessons learned, creating a vision and mission statement, compiling a list of businesses in Scandia, reviewing zoning and property classifications, presentation from the Executive Director of the Washington County HRA and discussion of infrastructure issues. Public Forum time will be added to the agenda and the commissioners were encouraged to invite members of the public. For September the board would like to invite other EDA members, particularly those from similar communities but also Craig Waldron who wrote a report with DEED on EDAs. Also on the September agenda will be the vision and mission statement discussion. Motion by Swenson, seconded by Lee to adjourn. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:03pm. Respectfully Submitted, Kristina Handt, Secretary Page 1 of 1 General Pothers and PUrDOSCS The primary benefit of an EDA rests in its ability to easily and flexibly accomplish a wide range of development and redevelopment objectives. An EDA is granted a remarkably full complement of development powers. These include (subject to any limitation in the enabling resolution) the powers enumerated by its enabling legislation. but also those powers granted by cross-reference to housing and redevelopment authorities (HRAs), to Cities in connection with projects and development districts, of municipalities and redevelopment agencies in connection with Municipal Industrial Development. These development powers allow an EDA great latitude, flexibility and efficiency in pursuing economic development objectives. The purposes to which EDAs may direct their powers are not entirely clear in the statutes. They appear to include making land suitable and available for economic development and to encourage the location or expansion of economic development facilities. Also. through incorporating the purposes of HRAs, EDA% also can provide adequate housing in addition to clearing and developing blighted areas. And by incorporating the broad purposes of Municipal Industrial Development, EDAs may actively promote, attract and encourage the development of economically sound industry and commerce for the purpose of preventing the emergence of blighted and marginal lands and areas of chronic unemployment. Usually, an EDA must adopt or reference a broader plan to exercise its po-wers. Certain EDA powers can only be exercised within the boundaries of an "Economic Development District; certain HRA powers must be exercised within the boundaries of a "Redevelopment Project." and certain municipal powers must be exercised within a "Municipal Development District." Certain EDA Powers must be exercised only within the boundaries of an "Economic Development District." The EDA may create and define the boundaries of economic development districts at any place or places within the City, except the district boundaries must be contiguous. An EDA must hold a public hearing on the establishment and at least 10 days before the hearing the EDA shall publish notice of the hearing in a daily newspaper of general circulation in the City. The EDA must find that an economic development district is proper and desirable to establish and develop within the City. https://lh4.googleusercontent.comllvtebGoxAh33idnAZEpduxgxRg_Ntu 1 FvcT8J82oJtAq... 9/13/2013 Page I of 1 FORAIA TION AND OPERA t TION OF AN ECONOMIC DE i ELOPMENT A UTIIORI TY Reasons fur Formint; an E:DA The Minnesota Legislature granted Cities the power to create economic development authorities in 1997. B% -,,i%ing Cities this ability they can promote economic growth. FDAs were created to work in conjunction with and to facilitate other economic development organizations such as Port Authorities and Housing Redevelopment :authorities (HRA). This allows Cities to create a better approach to economic development allowing them to create flexible business assistance and development programs. In addition to HRA powers. EDAs were authorized to exercise the powers of Cities in connection with City development districts and the powers of municipalities or development agencies in connection with municipal industrial development. By consolidating the powers of economic and housing development into one body. City officials are not only able to focus development on blighted areas but, also create programs that will prevent blight from occurring elsewhere within the community.

The County Board recently approved a contract with Springsted Inc., to complete an economic development assessment that will set the table for a stronger alliance among the county, cities and the business community. "This is not a county project. It's a cooperative," said Commissioner Ted Bearth, a former Oakdale mayor, who campaigned last fall for more effective partnerships between cities and the county. The $56,700 to fund the assessment will come from budget savings from previous years set aside for such projects. Commissioners want to determine to what extent the county legally can participate in economic development. A work group, formed with representatives from city governments, already have made several recommendations to the county. Among them: More aggressive support for city business issues, appoint "business friendly" people to watershed boards, provide tax-exempt financing, fund county economic development groups, and offer more tax abatements. Aside from anything commissioners might decide to do in the future, county government already supplies many of the services that businesses cite as important to relocating, such as transit services. Washington County has a strong interest in developing the Gateway Corridor through Woodbury, the Red Rock Corridor through Newport and Cottage Grove, and the Rush Line Corridor north to Hugo and Forest Lake. Potential transit on Hwy. 36 also has been discussed. Other county services cited as being already in place include competitive tax rates, job training through the Workforce Center, funding regional efforts such as Greater Minneapolis -St. Paul, and economic development tax abatements. Results of the Springsted study will be presented at a countywide event in early 2014.

The EDA is also required to act consistently with the Comprehensive Plan. Comprehensive Plan: The complete Comprehensive Plan is available for viewing on the City's website (www.ci.scandia.mn.us). I've highlighted some of the section on economic development and housing below. Future Land Use: "Primary land uses in the Village Center Mixed -Use Area will include commercial, office, retail, public and private institutions, civic buildings, light industrial, and parks and recreation. Residential will be a secondary use, including single-family homes, twnhomes, and multi -family buildings. Multi -family buildings in the village center will achieve the goal of diversifying the housing options for younger families, seniors, and singles. Future lot sizes will be similar to the existing mix of lot sizes in the village center. In order to support these relatively small lot sizes, community sewer systems are anticipated." "The primary land use for the Village Neighborhood Areas will be small -lot, single-family residential uses. Public and private institutions, civic buildings, and parks and recreation uses will also be allowed. Townhomes and multi -family units will be allowed as an incentive for providing community value through agricultural land protection, life -cycle housing or natural resource protection. A community sewer system may be necessary in order to allow for lot sizes similar to existing village lots." "The primary land use [Ag Core] will be agricultural production, including specialty agriculture. It is anticipated that the nature of agricultural production will change in the future from traditional dairy farms to small-scale specialty agriculture oriented towards local and metropolitan markets. Residential development compatible with agriculture will be a secondary use in the Agricultural Core Area as will parks and recreation. Recreational commercial activities will be a conditional use." "Single-family residential dwellings will be the primary land use for the General Rural Area. Secondary land uses will include agricultural production including small-scale production, parks and recreation and public and private institutions. Recreational commercial uses will be allowed as a conditional use." "The Rural Commercial Nodes future land use area is intended to support commercial development in places of historic commercial activity. These areas are the only commercial areas anticipated outside of the Village Center and are intended not to compete with, but rather complement, Village Center commercial uses. Rural Commercial Nodes are designated at the historic commercial nodes of the Big Marine Store, Copas/Abrahamson Nurseries, Otisville, and the intersection of Highways 95 and 97. Commercial uses reflecting the historic nature of the commercial node and compatible with the surrounding rural character will be allowed on lot sizes of at least 2 acres. Because this future land use area builds upon historic character, commercial building design standards shall reflect the historic nature of the commercial node." A copy of the Future Land Use Map and Parcels with Homes is included in your packet so you can see where the different zoning districts are and where there is currently a house. Goals, Policies, and Strategies: Village Mixed -Use Goal and Policies LU Goal 2: Reinforce the village center as the social and economic focal point of the community. LU Policy 2.1: Encourage commercial, office, limited industrial, residential, institutional and civic uses that complement existing uses and use patterns. LU Implementation Strategy 2.1.1: Create a new Village Mixed Use (VMU) zoning district that emphasizes retail, commercial, and light industrial uses. Establish densities consistent with existing lot sizes. Lot sizes will also depend on the availability of community wastewater facilities. LU Implementation Strategy 2.1.2: Establish design standards and guidelines to ensure that new commercial buildings reflect "downtown" character in their size, massing, setbacks, and other attributes. Promote the use of guidelines for new buildings to encourage architec- tural design that is compatible with its surroundings. LU Implementation Strategy 2.1.3: Establish design standards to improve the quality and appearance of light industrial development in the village center. LU Implementation Strategy 2.1.4: Consider the VMU district as a receiving zone for a possible Transfer of Development Rights program. (See LU Policy 1.2) LU Policy 2.2: Provide for easy pedestrian movement in the village center and connections to sur- rounding areas. LU Implementation Strategy 2.2.1: Plan for sidewalks or pedestrian pathways along all existing and new streets within the village center, and consider developing pedestrian con- nections where streets cannot connect neighborhoods with the village center. LU Implementation Strategy 2.2.2: Plan for new street connections between the village center and nearby areas. (See Map 31- Planned Village Transportation Improvements) LU Policy 2.3: Create an enhanced and economically healthy village center. LU Implementation Strategy 2.3.1: Consider the feasibility of extending centralized wastewater treatment to serve the village area. LU Implementation Strategy 2.3.2: Provide for new commercial development adjacent to existing commercial areas in land use regulation. LU Implementation Strategy 2.3.3: Consider regulatory and financial incentives for pro- grams to encourage existing building owners to make changes to meet design standards for the preservation, adaptive reuse, and design improvement of existing traditional structures. LU Implementation Strategy 2.3.4: Continue to focus public and civic facilities and activities within the village center (with the exception of parks and trails which may occur in any area). LU Policy 2A Encourage tourism and recreation businesses in the village area. LU Implementation Strategy 2.4.1: Bring the Gateway Trail extension to the village area. LU Implementation Strategy 2.4.2: Create pedestrian and bicycle connections through the village area, centering on the village core area. LU Implementation Strategy 2.4.3: Consider lodging land uses that fit the character of the village and can be developed consistent with planned infrastructure capacity. Village Nei,_,hborhood Goals and Policies LU Goal 3: Establish growth areas surrounding the Village Center, intended to support primarily single and multiple family residential uses on lot sizes reflective of the existing village lot sizes. LU Policy 3.1: Encourage single- and multiple -family residential uses that are compatible with adja- cent land uses and use patterns in the village center and reflect the character of the village area. LU Implementation Strategy 3.1.1: Create a new Village Neighborhood zoning district that emphasizes residential lands uses on small lots. The density and minimum lot size of the Village Neighborhood areas will be 1 dwelling unit per 2.5 acres. Bonus densities up to 1 dwelling unit per acre may be earned as an incentive for providing multi -family or life -cycle housing or use of Transfer of Development Rights. LU Implementation Strategy 3.1.2: Establish design standards and guidelines to ensure that new residential buildings are compatible with existing historic buildings in terms of building height and massing, placement on the lot, and garage and driveway placement. LU Implementation Strategy 3.1.3: Consider the Village Neighborhood district as a re- ceiving area for a possible Transfer of Development Rights program. (See LU Policy 1.2) LU Policy 3.2: Provide an integrated, internally -connected street system connecting village neigh- borhood to the village center. LU Implementation Strategy 3.2.1: Develop street and pedestrian path standards for new development that avoids cul-de-sac development and provides for pedestrian connections to the village center. LU Policy 3.3: Encourage development of new neighborhoods that relate to their natural setting. LU Implementation Strategy 3.3.1: Provide pedestrian access to parks and trails and community destinations. LU Implementation Strategy 3.3.2: Consider conservation performance standards to protect natural features in and near the village center. LU Implementation Strategy 3.3.3: Consider landscaping standards for new development along the public right-of-way. Agricultural Core Area Goals and Policies LU Goal 5: Recognize, protect and encourage agricultural production as a viable long-term land use. LU Policy 5.1: Encourage a variety of agricultural operations, including small-scale metropolitan - oriented agriculture, value-added production, and small-scale agricultural -related commercial uses. LU Implementation Strategy 5.1.1: Create a new Agricultural Core zoning district where agriculture is the predominant use, but allowing for secondary use when compatible with agriculture, including low density residential, commercial recreation, and agricultural -related commercial. Establish densities of 4 units per 40 acres. Within the 4 per 40 density limit, a variety of lot sizes will be encouraged in the manner of the current lot averaging zoning: lots of 2 to 5 acres in size or 20 acres or greater would be allowed. Bonus densities of up to 75% of the base density may be earned only if developers use the Open Space Conservation Subdivision process and undertake actions such as permanent protection of agricultural land or open space, or protection or enhancement of natural resources. LU Implementation Strategy 5.1.2: Provide educational materials to current and prospec- tive residents about quality -of -life issues such as noise and odors that can be expected in proximity to agricultural operations. LU Implementation Strategy 5.1.3: Investigate the feasibility of small-scale programs to assist agricultural producers and promote Scandia as an agricultural -friendly community. For example, programs matching farmers wishing to rent land for cultivation with landowners or homeowners associations with available land, or programs offering seasonal tours of farms and farm -related enterprises. LU Policy 5.2: Encourage Transfer of Development Rights out of Agricultural Core areas as a means of realizing a portion of the development value of land while keeping it in agricultural pro- duction. (See LU Policy 1.2) LU Implementation Strategy 5.2.1: Establish a study committee to evaluate the use of TDR for achieving agricultural preservation, natural resource protection, and life -cycle and affordable housing goals. Report back to City Council with recommendations within one year after the adoption of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. LU Policy 5.3: When siting new structures, roads or drives, consider how best to preserve the vi- ability of agricultural operations. LU Implementation Strategy 5.3.1: Develop standards for Open Space Conservation Subdivisions that are specific to agricultural protection. LU Policy 5.4: Encourage participation in the Agricultural Preserves Program. LU Implementation Strategy 5.4.1: Create an agricultural preserves overlay district to encourage continued or expanded agricultural land uses in the agricultural core future land use area and the general rural future land use area. LU Implementation Strategy 5.4.2: Promote the Metropolitan Agricultural Preserves Program as a voluntary means for land owners in the agricultural core and general rural areas to meet community character and stewardship goals. General Rural Area Goal and Policies LU Goal 6: Provide for a wide range of land uses that are able to coexist within a rural setting, including traditional and specialty agriculture, horse and hobby farms, limited raising of animals, market gardening, and limited residential development and institutional use. LU Policy 6.1: Allow a broader mix of compatible rural land uses than in the agricultural core land use area. LU Implementation Strategy 6.1.1: Create a new general rural zoning district that com- bines both agricultural production and single-family residential uses, along with parks, com- mercial recreation, and similar rural uses. Allow a density of 4 dwelling units per 40 acres with a minimum allowed lot size of 2 acres (lot averaging is not required). LU Implementation Strategy 6.1.2: Limit use of smaller lots for inappropriate activities that have noise and other nuisance impacts on surrounding areas. LU Policy 6.2: Require development to protect natural features. LU Implementation Strategy 6.2.1: Develop standards for Open Space Conservation Subdivisions that protect priority natural features in General Rural areas as identified within Scandia's Natural Resource Protection Areas overlay. Bonus densities of up to 75% of the base density may be earned only if developers use the Open Space Conservation Subdivision process and undertake actions such as protection or enhancement of natural resources, or permanent protection of agricultural land or open space. LU Implementation Strategy 6.2.2: When siting new buildings or drives, encourage and incorporate protection or screening of scenic views from roads into design standards. Use the City's inventory of scenic resources for regulatory purposes, design review, and to educate residents and landowners about the quality of these resources.

Signature Name (please print) Date e.cl) September 15, 2013 To: Scandia Economic Development Authority (SEDA) Fr: Tom Triplett, SEDA vice chair Re: Background on affordable housing in Scandia EDAs and housing and redevelopment authorities (HRAs) typically focus on "affordable" housing — both senior and "workforce" (or "family") housing. County, state and federal housing support programs use differing income standards in defining "affordable," but a good general rule -of -thumb is that a household's housing is affordable if the household pays less than one-third of its total income on housing -related costs. Affordable housing includes both developments and individual units. Affordable housing is divided into two general categories: senior and workforce. Affordable senior housing. Currently, the Oakhill Cottages is the only affordable senior housing development in Scandia. The Cottages are owned by The Washington County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (WCHRA). The Cottages have among the highest occupancy rate of any WCHRA senior housing in the entire county. (Note for disclosure: lama commissioner of the WCHRA representing Scandia, Forest Lake, Hugo, Marine, May and Grant.) As our local population ages, the demand for senior housing here will also grow although this growth will not be as substantial as for the cities in the western part of the county — Forest Lake, Hugo, Woodbury, Oakdale and Cottage Grove. In coming weeks the WCHRA's consultant will issue a final projection of senior housing needs in all areas of the county including our northeast area. I will share those results with you as soon as I can. It is difficult to estimate the amount of privately owned, single -unit housing available for our seniors in Scandia. These might be farmsteads or "city" houses of smaller size and lesser quality. These will be technically "affordable," and often these will be housing units already occupied by seniors who do not desire to live in developments or assisted living facilities. We need to carefully study this senior housing component. The closest other senior affordable housing developments are in Forest Lake. The new Trailside development owned by WCHRA is near the new library, and there is one other WCHRA-owned development and three that are privately owned. One of the privately owned developments recently received tax credit assistance from WCHRA. Affordable workforce housing. We appear to have very limited affordable workforce (non -senior) housing in Scandia. Given our high property values, it is very difficult for families of modest means to purchase a home here. The city has no multifamily zoning, but even if we did I'm not sure there is enough market demand to justify construction of multi -family units. Nonetheless the city council may want to consider a zoning ordinance change that will enhance that opportunity. As with senior housing, there may be families living in rental properties, but it is hard to gauge the number. If we can't bring in middle -income families, the impacts will be intense. Foremost, we will not be able to enroll enough children to keep our elementary school open. If we can't do that we will not only lose the school jobs (teachers, aides, administrators, maintenance), but we'll lose the jobs tied indirectly to the school. I have heard anecdotally that this year's kindergarten class at Scandia Elementary is very small in size. Partnering with WCHRA. Several communities in the county have come to WCHRA for help in financing construction of affordable housing. For example, ground will be broken soon for a privately -owned senior housing project at the site of a long -closed restaurant in Mahtomedi. Typical ways that WCHRA assists private developers are low income housing tax credits and limited gap financing. For workforce housing, the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency has financial resources that can supplement WCHRA dollars. It is doubtful that WCHRA will construct and own new housing units in Scandia. However, there may be ways that WCHRA can assist private developers. Barbara Dacy, the WCHRA Executive Director, has offered to come to one of our upcoming meetings to discuss the range of programs available through both her agency and Minnesota Housing. I recommend that we invite her. SCANDIA Staff Report Date of Meeting: September 16, 2013 To: Economic Development Authority From: Kristina Handt, Executive Director Re: Director's Report Agenda Item #: 6 I attended the County's Economic Development Work Group meeting on September 9, 2013. The County has recently contracted with Springsted to prepare an economic development assessment. This includes data collection and assessment, community assessment, a strategic plan for economic development, and presenting information to the County Board and various stakeholder groups. The plan, which is due to the County by the end of the year, must address the county's role in economic development and the county's relationship to cities and other organizations that are actively engaged in economic development. In order to prepare the plan, Dave Unmacht , Springsted, will meet with community stakeholders to get their input. I would recommend that he meet with the EDA in order to get Scandia's input. Further, because of the tight timeline I would the Board to approve inviting him to our October meeting. Included in your packet is a sample survey sent out to city officials a few weeks ago. Dave will be asking similar questions of the EDA when he meets with us. Springsted is also utilizing the services of U of M Extension in order to complete the economic development plan. Scandia may want to consider inviting Extension to help with data gathering or developing a strategic action plan. Extension officers have worked with EDAs in our area including Hugo and Forest Lake on similar tasks. At their work session on September 10, 2013 the Council set the preliminary maximum levy at $2,171,074 and included $1,000 for the EDA. After our last meeting I was able to consult with Asst City Attorney Andy Pratt to follow up on Commissioner Isaacson's question of what would happen if the EDA needed money next year and didn't levy enough. According to Pratt, the EDA and Council could both pass a resolution agreeing to an interfund loan to be repaid with an EDA levy in 2015. Since this option was available, the Council felt it better to levy a small amount for operational expenses and will consider a resolution for a loan at the time it is needed next year. At the last meeting, the commissioners discussed listing businesses on the website. I wanted to provide you with a list of what we currently have posted. If you know of additional businesses, please let me know and I will add them.

Background: At the last meeting, the Board decided to hold their regular monthly meetings on the second Monday of the month beginning in October. October 14 and November 11 are holidays (Columbus Day and Veterans Day). State law prohibits cities from conducting public business on holidays. The Council will be moving their work dates beginning in October which means another option for the EDA to consider would be to hold their meetings the second Tuesday of each month. Options: The EDA should determine when their regular meeting day will be. They may just move the Oct and Nov meetings to the second Tuesday and resume second Monday meetings in December or consider moving the regular meeting date permanently. The Council will hold its public hearing on the 2014 budget on the second Tuesday in December at 6:30pm. The EDA could keep the second Tuesday and choose a time either before or after the Council meeting.
