Jack R_o;b_erg, attorney for petitioner, replied the use of the pan- hande of 1 and which will be vacated will be consistent with the site plan. After this portion of County Road 9 is vacated, the petitioner will file an easement which will restrict it to open space and it will be incorporated into the shopping center plat. Motion to adopt Resolution No. 78-786 carried on a Roll Call vote, five ayes, 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. 317- APFOLLD PIPING SUPPLY REQUEST FOR IRB'S Item 8-A W Pcu ' Im I . r - 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.

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.

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. 320- Special Council Meeting November 27, 1978 Page 321 MOTION was made by Councilmember Seibold, seconded by Council - member Neils, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 78-7899 A RESOLUTION APPROVING PRELIMINARY 'LAT FOR HADLEY PLACE BY HADLEY ASSOCIATES A-522).

Joe Sorrentino, 9300 Northwood Parkway, New Hope, questioned the purpose of the surveying being clone on the Batson property by McCombs Knutson.

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.
