Workshop Discussion • 11.A Presentation of Hoisington Koegler Group Inc, regarding Shakopee County Road 101 Marketing Plan The City Council had previously awarded a contract to HKG to look at a marketing plan for First Avenue/County Road 101. Part of this was funded through a grant from the Scott County Community Development Agency. Bryan Harjes of HKG presented Council with the final report. Several members of the City's Planning Commission and EDAC were in attendance. The consensus of the group is to have Park and Recreation Advisory Board, Economic Development Authority Committee, and the Planning Commission discuss the findings, and recommend a total of 10 prioritized issues from the study, separated into immediate (1-2 years); short-term (3-7 years); mid-term(8-15 years); long-term(15+years) durations. Those would then be brought back to the Council at the June workshop meeting. 11.B Discuss the Purchase of MNDOT property by TH 169 & CR 69 (Parcels 37 & 43) Mr. Loney said MnDOT is the owner of excess property near the TH 169 & CR 69 intersection area, which can be purchased by the City for economic development purposes. These excess parcels had been acquired as a result of the TH 169 project in the 1990's. MNDOT has determined several different approaches for the various parcels in order to offer • them to the City. In disposing of excess property,the State will offer these parcels to the City first; if the City does not want to purchase the parcels,the parcels would be advertised on the open market. Together the parcels are 27.60 acres in size, and have been appraised at a value of $1,022,324.10, which is $37,040.73 an acre. A loan from the Sanitary Sewer or Storm Drainage funds, or another fund as recommended by the Finance Director would be necessary to purchase the property. Proceeds from the future sale of the property would reimburse the fund from which the loan originated. The consensus of Council was to move forward with purchase of MnDOT Parcels 37-43. The subject would be sent to the Planning Commission and EDAC to a study of end-use possibilities. Councilor Lehman asked that the study include the impact of this property on 69/169. 12.

Luce asked Mr. Loney if the mill and overlay project on Marschall Rd. this summer could be extended to 4th Ave., due to the current condition of the driving surface.
