PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
Manager Willis reviewed Applo Piping Supply's request for
issuance of $1,500,000 of municipal industrial development
revenue bonds. Jim Weiler of Miller b Schroeder Municipals,
underwriters for Ehe proposed bond issue, suggested amending the
Memorandum of Agreement b adding the following language at
the end of Paragraph 3 (a : "by direct placement, if possible,
and by public sale only if direct placement is not possible."
He stated it is their intent and the company's desire to place
the bond issue privately and they would make every effort in
that direction, but, tecause of present market conditions,
they would like to have the option of placing them privately.
Vernon Kotula, president of Apollo Piping Supply, responded to
ounces questions regarding the company's operation. He stated
it was basically a wholesale stocking distributor for major lines
of pipe, valves and fittings made in this country, but they will
cave a larger shop area in the new facility to enable them to do
more custom work. Locally, they have 35 employees in their ware-
house and sales operat;on. He replied to questions regarding the
company's assets and debt service and stated they had not had a
need to get involved with long-term financing to the present,
but maintained their large inventory with short-term financing.
Councilmember Seibold objected to 100 percent financing of the
project and questioned whether the company could handle the
additional debt service it would place ori them. Their only
assets appear to be inventory and accounts receivable which are
all pledgtid toward short-term financing.
Councilmember Neils stated the City's policy is contrary to ise
of IRB financing for a pure warehouse operation, but, on the
other hand, there is a desperate need frr this type of warehouse
operation in the industry in the area.
Councilmember Hoyt stated she was concerned about the debt s?"vice
of the company, but felt the original legislation was designed
to help this kind of company.

November 27, 197r
Page 318
Michael Annau. officer of Apollo Piping Supply, stated the reason
for the success of the company is their large inventory, which is
possible to maintair only through short-term debt service.
Mr. Weiler stated it: was the legislative intent of IRB financing
to help small and medium size companies to expand without going
into their capital. Miller a Schroeder will be underwriting the
bond issue and will be at risk for them.
Council discussed the suitability oi- authorizing 100 percent fund-
ing through IRB financing. It was the consensus IRB financing
should be limited to real estate and improvements to the real
estate, as opposed to including substantial sums fo; other or
miscellaneous project costs and financing in excess of 80-90
percent of the estimated project cost should not normally be
considered.
Councilmember Spaeth questioned Mr. Kotula and Mr. Weiler whether
the company would tie willing and able to finance the land for
this project independently,. Mr. Kotula replied he would be
willing if the other officers agreed. Mr. Weiler stated the
company could handle the separate financing of the land but
would prefer to obtain 100 percent financing for the entire
project through industrial revenue bonds.
MOTION was made by Mayor Hunt, seconded by Cot.nei lmember Hoyt,
to amend the Memorandum of Agreement, Para raph I(b), by strik-
ing the words "of land and"; Paragraph 3(A?, by adding the words
by direct placement, if possible, and by public calA ^r'.y if
direct placement is not possible"; ind the first sentence of
Exhibit A by inserting the words "exclusive of land acquisition
costs".
Motion carried, four ayes. Councilmember Seibold voted nay.
Councilmember Seibold objected to private placement to more than
a single purchaser.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Spaeth, seconded by Council -
member Hoyt, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 78-787, A RESOLUTION

Charles dalton, petitioner for appib val of conditional use
Permit and site plan for an automobile dealership at 9825 -
56th Avenue, presented a statement to Council commenting on
the differences of opinion between the developer and the
Planning Commission's recommendations, including required
curbing for the parking lot, two additional catch basins at the
entrance, sod on the slope on the east side of the property,
a 50 ft. wide landscaped green strip on the west proNerty line,
additional landscaping and an identification sign on the
building. Mr. Walton displayed his original site plan, dated
December 7, 1977, grading and building permits for the building.
He presented a drainage plin for site he proposed to substituLe
for the recommended plan. Council questioned Mr. Walton about
the setbacks around the parking area and the discrepancies
between the site plan and actual construction.
Planner Tremere stated the major discrepancies were 1) changes
in grading, ?) drainfield was moved and 3) additional paving
over that which was originally shown.
Council reviewed the proposed storm drainage plans 'or the site
and dis;ussed the curbing requirements for drainaco c.ff the site.
They then reviewed the conditions for approval recommended by the
Planning Commission and made the following recommendations. The
bondiig requirements for site improvements in Cnndition 2 should
be cmianged to 24 months, per City policy. The requirement for a
50 It. green strip in Condition 6 shall be deleted and, ir;tead,
the General Development Plan shah require the addition of 25 ft.
along the west property line for proposed quaker Lane. Condition
shall be amended to suhstitute hydro -mulch in lieu of sod on
the Last slope. Condition 9 ilmitint4 signage to three existing
signs was deleted.
MOTION was made by -ancilmember Spaeth, seconded by
Neils, to defer action on approval of the site plan

Planner Tremere distributee a letter from LuAdgren Bros. Con- PRELIMINARY PLAT
struction Company objecting to the requirement of the extension HADLEY PLACE
of a sanitary sewer line along Hadley Lake to the northern (A-552) Item 8-0
boundary of the plat since the plat has been revised to exclude
the north/south street whish would have necessitated a sewer line
along the lake and is now proposed to be served by internal
sewers on new streets together with an extension of the sewer
along Queensland Lane to the north plat line.
Earl Grave, 540 Queensland, questioned if the sewer on Queensland
would be extended north of the plat and if there would be a cul-
de-sac at the end of the street. Manager Willis replied the
sewer would be installed only to the end of the plat. If resi-
dents on Queensland wish to have it extended, they must petition
the City for the improvement. He also stated there would
probably be a turn -around at the end of Queensland.
John Batson, 525 Queensland, questioned if he co uid be served
by sani to-ey sewer from Queensland. Engineer Moore replied his
parcel would probably be served from a line at the rear of his property.
Council discussed various alternatives for providing sanitary
sewer service to the area north of the p-oposed plat and Mayor
Hunt suggested that the residents of the area petition for
improvements so that a preliminary engineering report could
be ordered to determine the most feasible way to serve the area
with sanitary sewer.
Susan Batson Sorrentino, 9300 Northwood Parkway, New Hope,
expressed interest in having sanitary sewer extended to the
area north of the proposed plat since she hoped to develop
some land there in the future.
Peter_Pflaum, representing Lundgren Bros., stated he felt no one
would benefit from extending the sewer line along Hadley Lake to
the north of the plat since that area could be served just as
well from other sewer lines and suggested a prelirinary study of
the area could determine tris. There was further d !)cussion of
which proi)erty specifically such a line would serve, Consulting
Engineer Olson stated he would not recoimnend deleting the sewer
line along Hadley Lake to serve the area north of the plat until
that property is platted or a study of the entire area 4s
completed.

11 from Fernbrtiik and the relationship to a proposed rr;kdian strip
along Fernbrook Lane. There was considerable concern that north-
bound tr-.ffic on Fernbrook desiring to make a wf!stbuund tura on
Highway 55 would not have adequate stacking dis-tance from the
intersection. Councilmember Spaeth suggested tnat 23th Place be
realigned to intersect with Fernbrook further south of its exist-
ing location. Councilor, '%r,r Neils suggested that, in this case,
easements from Parcels 10,11 and 5600 world have to be included
a! part of the improvement. Councilmember Neils also suggested
tha:- the proposed median strip on Fernbrook Lane be extended
from the intersection of Fernhrook with Highway 55 down to 27th

buildings would allow the vacation of the existing Cheshire Lane
and realigning it down the center of these lots from Highway 55
to 27th Avenue, Engineer Olson explained that existing buildings
and ground conditions preclude this alignment. He also explained
that Cheshire will bt a 28 ft, struet with concrete curb and
gutter. Council then considered the intersection of Fernbrook
Lane and County Road 6. Mayor Hunt expressRd concern about the
left -turn movements at this intersection. Engineer Olson ex-

Notion was carried on a Roll Cail vote, five ayes.
Councilmember Spaeth indicated that he wanted the present tenants
of the City -owned building at 1801 Medicine Lake Drive to either
pay up outstanding rents immediately or be subject to eviction
for default. Council indicated that the best disposition of this
structure would be selling the house i r moving or demolition.
Mayor Hunt asked that staff return with a repot on the effect
which the Pinetree Pond project had on the pending areas in this
area and whether there was a loss of property value associated
therewith.
Councilmember Hoyt expressed concern that industrial revenue bond
applications should be received concurrent with and, if possible,
prior to the Council's actual conside,ation of industrial revenue
bnnd requests. Mayor Hunt indicated that one of his major ,,riteria
for approving IRB's is insuring that the proposed building is
amenable to many uses for future flexibility. Councilmember Neils
felt that the City should not be in the commercial financing field.
Councilmember Spaeth wanted to be sure that the petitioner showed
good faith effort by having a partial investment in industrial
revenue bond projects. Mayor Hunt indicated that he prioriti=es
it jstrial revenue bonds at least partially based upon thr type of
zomnritment which the business will have to its Plymouth location.
H.: also stated the number of jobs which a new industry requesting
IRB's will provide in Plymouth is an important considers*.ion.
Councilmember Neils indicated that he places a premium upul
businesses which attract highly skilled labor per the dollar of
investment made. He also indicated the City should not finance
the acquisition of land. The City Council generally agreed that
using the above criteria, the City Manager might be in a better
position to screen future industrial revenue bond applications
prior to their consideration by the City Council.
The meeting was adjourned at 12:35 a.m.
