Minutes of August 12, October 28, November 8, 9, & 18, 1993 Special Meetingsc ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS SPECIAL MEETING AUGUST 12, 1993 Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Thursday, August 12, 1993, at 6:40 p.m. in the Council Lounge at City Hall. Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Willcox, Staats, Wippermann and Klassen present. Staff present included Administrator Jilk and City Attorney Miles. The purpose of the meeting was to clarify the August 8, 1993 presentation of Carlson Properties: Rosemount Village Square Project. Mayor McMenomy felt the public meeting went poorly and that Carlsons deserved a chance to discuss their development in an informal setting. No action by Council would be taken tonight. Attorney Miles said it was appropriate for the Mayor to call a meeting. Ron Carlson, Rich Carlson, and Tom Heiberg addressed the Council. Ron Carlson gave the history of the property located on County Road 42 and the project, Rosemount Village Square. In 1980's several developers were interested in the property but for various reasons no project ever proceeded. In 1991 the Rosemount Economic Development Authority showed interest in providing economic assistance to encourage development of the site. Rich Carlson reviewed trade area data and consumer spending available in Rosemount. He discussed the percentage of the market being taken by the local Super Valu store and that the need is here for another "market store". Tom Heiberg noted that the property taxes for the proposed project would produce $40,000 for the City. A funding mechanism, Local Effect Tax Increment Financing, was suggested. Klassen asked if something shouldn't be offered to the existing businesses as well. Willcox said it would be alright to offer the infrastructure but not a subsidy. Mayor McMenomy supported the project when considering the long range plan which shows the population growing. This increase in population would be able to support additional retail. According to the study 85 percent of Rosemount residents shop elsewhere and more of this market should be able to be recaptured. Some of the reasons for hesitating to approve this development were: 1) concern that a new grocery store would survive, 2) can't compete with warehouse type grocery stores offered in nearby communities, 3) Carlsons credibility, and 4) the City of Rosemount should not provide funding for competitive businesses. Tom Heiberg noted three options: 1) Rosemount Village Square will not happen without special funding, 2) Carlsons will consider a theater or fast food business, or 3) development of an 18 acre site with a theater. There was general discussion that the Carlsons should resolve the development on their own. The City would review any project proposal submitted. 3 ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS SPECIAL MEETING AUGUST 12, 1993 MOTION by McMenomy to adjourn. SECOND by Willcox. Ayes: 5. Nays: None.
