RESOLUTION RECITING A PROPOSAL FOR A
COMMERCIAL FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
GIVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO THE PROJECT
PURSUANT TO THE MINNESOTA
MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ACT
AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION
FOR APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT TO THE
ENERGY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY.,OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
AND AUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION OF
NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND MATERIALS
IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROJECT
WHEREAS,
(a) The purpose of Chapter 474, Minnesota Statutes, known as the Minnesota In-
dustrial Development Act (the "Act ") as found and determined by the legislature is
to promote the welfare of the State by the active attraction and encouragement and
development of economically sound industry and commerce to prevent so far as possible
the emergence of blighted and marginal lands and areas of chronic unemployment;
- 10 - 6/11
(b) Factors necessitating the active promotion
and development of economically sound industry and commerce are
the increasing concentration of population in the metropolitan
areas and the rapidly rising increase in the amount and cost of
governmental services required to meet the needs of the
increased population and the need for development of land use
which will provide an adequate tax base to finance these
increased costs and access to employment opportunities for such
population;
(c) The City Council of the City of Maplewood
(the "City ") has received from St. Paul Business Center, a
general partnership organized under the laws of the State of
Minnesota (the "Company ") a proposal that the City assist in
financing a Project hereinafter described, through the issuance
of a Revenue Bond or Bonds or a Revenue Note or Notes
hereinafter referred to in this resolution as "Revenue Bonds"
pursuant to the Act;
(d) The City desires to facilitate the selec-
tive development of the community, retain and improve the tax
base and help to provide the range of services and employment
opportunities required by the population; and the Project will
assist the City in achieving those objectives. The Project
will help to increase assessed valuation of the City and help
maintain a positive relationship between assessed valuation and
debt and enhance the image and reputation of the community;
(e) The Company is currently engaged in the
business of development of office /service space. The Project
to be financed by the Revenue Bonds consists of 2 office /ser-
vice facilities to be located immediately north of'the NCR
Building on Sloan Place and one office /service facility to be
to -ated at the southwest corner of the intersection of Skillman
Awanue and McMenemy Street in the City and leased to various
tenants and consists of the acquisition of land and the
construction of buildings and improvements thereon to be
initially owned and operated by the Company and leased to
various tenants, and will result in the employment of
additional persons to work within the new facilities;
(f) The City has been advised by representa-
tives of Company that conventional, commercial financing to pay
the capital cost of the Project is available only on a limited
basis and at such high costs of borrowing that the economic
feasibility of operating the Project would be significantly
reduced, but Company has also advised this Council that with
the aid of municipal financing, and its resulting low borrowing
cost, the Project is economically more feasible;
(g) Pursuant to a resolution of the City
Council adopted on April 23, 1984, a public hearing on the
Project was held on June 11, 1984, after notice was published,
and materials made available for public inspection at the City
Hall, all as required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 474.01,
Subdivision 7b at which public hearing all those appearing who
so desired to speak were heard;
- 11 - 6/11
(h) No public official of the City has either a
direct or indirect financial interest in the Project nor will
any public official either directly or indirectly benefit
financially from the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Maplewood, Minnesota, as follows:

proposal of Company that the City undertake the Project

sition and construction of facilities within the City pursuant
to Company's specifications suitable for the operations
described above to be initially owned and operated by the
Company and pursuant to a revenue agreement between the City
and Company upon such terms and conditions with provisions for
revision from time to time as necessary, so as to produce
income and revenues sufficient to pay, when due, the principal
of and interest on the Revenue Bonds in the maximum aggregate
principal amount of $3,900,000 to be issued pursuant to the Act
to finance the acquisition, construction and equipping of the
Project; and said agreement may also provide for the entire
interest of Company therein to be mortgaged to the purchaser of
the Revenue Bonds; and the City hereby undertakes preliminarily
to issue its Revenue Bonds in accordance with such terms and
conditions; $2,900,000 of Bonds will be used to finance the
land and the facility to be located immediately north of the
NCR Building on Sloan Place and $1,000,000 will be used to
finance the land and the facility to be located at the south -
west corner of the intersection of Skillman and McMenemy;
2. on the basis of information available to this Council
it appears, and the Council hereby finds, that the Project
constitutes properties, real and personal, used or useful in
connection with one or more revenue producing enterprises
engaged in any business within the meaning of Subdivision la of
Section 474.02 of the Act; that the Project furthers the
purposes stated in Section 474.01, Minnesota Statutes; that the
availability of the financing under the Act and willingness of
the City to furnish such financing will be a substantial
inducement to Company to undertake the Project, and that the
effect of the Project, if undertaken, will be to encourage the
development of economically sound industry and commerce, to
assist in the prevention of the emergence of blighted and
marginal land, to help prevent chronic unemployment, to help
the City retain and improve the tax base and to provide the
range of service and employment opportunities required by the
population, to help prevent the movement of talented and
educated persons out of the state and to areas within the State
where their services may not be as effectively used, to promote
more intensive development and use of land within the City and
eventually to increase the tax base of the community;

pared pursuant hereto shall authorize the expenditure of any

purpose. The Revenue Bonds shall not constitute a charge, lien
or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property or funds
of the City except the revenue and proceeds pledged to the
payment thereof, nor shall the City be subject to any liability
thereon. The holder of the Revenue Bonds shall never have the

WHEREAS, Richard Jerome Kasmirski applied for a variance for the following des-
cribed property:
Lots 16 and 17, Block 12, Gladstone Addition
- 14 6/11
This property is also known as 1383 East Summer Avenue, Maplewood;
WHEREAS, section 36 -72 (a) of the Maplewood Code of Ordinances requires that
the minimum rear yard setback for a dwelling be 20% of the depth;
WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing a setback of six feet, requiring a variance
of ten foot;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAPLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION that the
above described variance be approved on the basis of the following findings of fact:
1. The variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance
since the present rear yard setback will not be decreased and the porch would not
be visible to the adjacent owner to the north because his garage is between his house
and proposed porch.
2. Strict enforcement would cause undue hardship since this lot is narrower
than typical corner lot in Maplewood, restricting the size of the rear yard.

a. Manager Evans presented a request from a number of residents in the neighborhood
surrounding the intersection of Ripley and Atlantic. Presently Atlantic traffic
is stopped at Ripley,. The request is to also stop Ripley at the intersection. The
concern is for the safety of children on bicycles due to poor sight distance and
excessive vehicle speeds on Ripley.
The City has adopted the State Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices as part
of the City Code (Sec. 18 -2). The manual is explicit in what warrants multiway stop
signs. This intersection does not meet any of the criteria.
It is recommended the City Council take no action on this matter.

a. Manager Evans presented a map showing the roadways proposed for inclusion in
the 1984 Overlay Program. In addition to those shown on the map, Barclay Street
from Brooks Avenue northerly to its terminus at the parking lot associated with Harvest
Park is also included.
This area was chosen because of a) the deterioration of the surfacing, b) thinness
of the existing surface (many are only 1 -inch thick), c) concentration of need, thus
yielding economic benefits due to no long equipment moves and d) all roads bounded
by Edgerton Street, T.N. 36, Arcade Street and Ripley Avenue (extended) will have
undergone major reconditioning in the last three years.
The estimated cost, including Barclay Street, is $123,42C.00.
Approval and authorization to proceed with bids is recommended.

4. McKnight Road R/W
a. Manager Evans stated Ramsey County has submitted a revised right of way plan
for approval to the City. It has been determined that additional right of inlay is
required, over and above that previously approved, mainly for storm sewers and ponds.
All right of way acquisition has stopped until each of the agencies involved approves
the new plans.
The new plan indicates the City may be required to participate in right of way ac-
quisition costs amounting to an estimated $141,600. Previously it was assumed the
City would participate for land costs associated with the storm drainage system.
The change is that the County will acquire the land and charge the City rather than
the City acquire the land as is usually done.
It is recommended the City Council approve the McKnight Road right of way plan and
cost estimates.
b. Mayor Greavu introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
WHEREAS, Ramsey County has developed a right of way plan for McKnight Road
reconstruction;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA, that
the Ramsey County right of way plan for McKnight Road reconstruction is in all ways

5. McKnight Road Water Main Project No. 83 -4
a. Manager Evans stated the County has suspended right of way acquisition along
McKnight Road. A number of parcels not yet acquired are needed to construct Project
83 -4. The City has two options at this point.
First, the City can proceed with Project 83 -4. This would require the City to acquire
between 15 and 20 easements. The estimated cost is $75,000 to 100,000. The timing
is such that construction would not commence until 1985.
Second, the City could again postpone construction of Project 83 -4 until 1986, in
conjunction with construction of McKnight Road. This would save the acquisition
cost and provide some additional savings in construction cost.
It is recommended the City Council consider the second option. This will result
in considerable savings. The action required is a formal denial of Project 83 -4.
b. Councilmember Bastian introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
84 -6 -86
WHEREAS, unforseen right of way acquisition costs were discovered;
- 23 - 6/11

We recommend that the Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing reduction
