Very truly yours, CITY OF SHAKOPEE By Its 1D MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: John K. Anderson , City Administrator RE : Shakopee ' s Downtown Trunk Highway 169 Intersection Improvements and Trunk Highway 101 By-Pass Improvements DATE : December 7 , 1984 Introduction On October 16 , 1984 City Council passed Resolution No . 2324 (attached) . The purpose of the resolution was to clarify and prioritize City and State efforts in seeking these improvements . Recent Developments Since the passage of Resolution No. 2324 staff has been discussing the projects with Mr. Bill Crawford , the District Highway Engineer. The purpose of these discussions was to determine the level of City and State participation in these projects . The most recent discussions were held on November 29, 1984 between Mr. Bill Crawford and representatives from Barton-Aschman. Barton-AschmanIs letter from John Mullan to me dated November 30, 1984 is a result of that meeting (attached) . On Monday , December 3 , 1984 John Mullan, Ken Anderson , Bo Spurrier, Judi Simac and I met to discuss how the City should proceed. It was the consensus of those present that before Mn/DOT would make any specific financial commitment they would need an indication from the City that the City was willing to participate in funding the project( s) and would provide some of the "front-end" financing for either or both projects . To make this next step as flexible as possible we have drafted the proposed letter to Mr. Crawford . Should Council approve the letter on December 11 , 1984 , it would be hand delivered to Mr. Crawford on December 12th. The purpose for proceeding as expeditiously as possible in our negotiations with the Highway Department is two fold . Number one , the downtown TH 169 intersection improvements are crucial to the downtown redevelopment effort and involve a potential Small Cities grant application due February 1 , 1985 . And , number two, the By-Pass which is important to the Racetrack, Industrial Park and City as a whole. Alternatives 1 . Approve the letter to Mr. Crawford as drafted . The letter is intentionally general about the City' s 50% participation . A 50% participation level by the Highway Department on the downtown improvements would bring in more State money than currently in the Downtown Improvement plan budget. We have no specific budget for engineering drawings for the By-Pass ; however , three quarters of the By-Pass lies within our Minnesota River Valley redevelopment district and therefore is eligible for financing generated by tax increment districts in the redevelopment district. 2. Reject the proposed letter to Mr . Crawford . Council may feel that it is premature to proceed this quickly with such a proposal . The goal of staff to obtain something in writing from Mn/DOT that can be included in a possible Small cities grant application on February 1 , 1985 may be permature . 3 . Amend the proposed letter to Mr . Crawford prior to directing staff to send the letter. Recommendation Staff recommends alternative No . 1 for the reasons discussed above . Action Requested Direct the City Engineer- to send a letter to Mr. Bill Crawford regarding the advancement of Shakopee ' s TH 169 intersection improvements and TH 101 By-Pass improvements in accordance with Resoltuion No. 2324 and Mr. John C. Mullan ' s November 30 , 1984 letter ; and that such correspondance indicate that the City would discuss a 50% partnership for the two projects . JKA/jms RESOLUTION NO. 2324 A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE CITY OF SHAKOPEE'S NEED FOR THE SHAKOPEE TRUNK HIGHWAY 101 BYPASS AND THE SHAKOPEE TRUNK HIGHWAY 169/101 JUNCTION IMPROVEMENTS WHEREAS , Minnesota Trunk Highways 169 and 101 are major highways providing vital access for this region and particularly for truck movement of agricultural products and other goods to and from southwestern Minnesota ; and WHEREAS,these important State Highways are presently located on City streets penetrating the heart of Shakopee ' s Business District; and WHEREAS , MNDOT , the Metropolitan Council , and the City of Shakopee have long been aware of traffic congestion , noise and air pollution , and safety hazards associated with this flow of heavy commercial traffic ; and WHEREAS, heavy volumes of traffic and most particulary heavy commercial traffic have created long term negative impacts on business in Downtown Shakopee including diminished land values , vacar�t buildings, and general erosion of the City ' s commercial property tax base; and WHEREAS, MnDOT has recommended construction of a bypass highway connecting Trunk Highway 169 with Trunk Highway 13 with major interchanges at Hennepin County Road 18 and Scott County Highway 83 ; and WHEREAS, MnDOT has conducted studies , written reports , held public hearings , and published their findings as an Environ- mental Impact Statement which has been reviewed , approved , and adopted by all required agencies ; and WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council has endorsed this Shakopee Bypass highway and has placed this roadway alignment on the Twin City Metropolitan Area development guide plan ; and WHEREAS, the City of Shakopee has encouraged and supported construction of the Shakopee Bypass and has committed time and talents of its staff, its volunteer committees , and its political leadership and has acted to preserve right-of-way for this highway through the official mapping process and through early acquisition of right-of-way ; and WHEREAS, MnDOT has recommended construction of the Shakopee Trunk Highway 101 Bypass with the schedule to begin construction in 1988 ; and - tI WHEREAS, the major development comtr,ittments in Shakopee have been based on timely construction of this highway ; and WHEREAS, the City of Shakopee has made extensive studies of traffic movements in and through its downtown commercial district ; and WHEREAS , the City, has appointed a downtown committee to study ways of revitalizing downtown Shakopee ; and WHEREAS , this Committee with the assistance of City Staff and Consultants has expended many hours of study for more than three years , with a goal of improving the economic viability of the City ' s Central Business District ; and WHEREAS , through this study effort the City has concluded that traffic congestion on First Avenue , and most particulary at the .intersection with Holmes Street , creates a major deterent to the economic health of Shakopee Central Business District and is a safety hazard for pedestrians and motorists ; and WHEREAS, these concerns have been discussed in length with official representatives of MnDOT, District 5 ; and WHEREAS, these MnDOT officials have pledged their cooperation to help improve the intersection problems at this location , encow-raging the City to develop designs for elimination of the existing congestion and hazards at First Avenue and Holmes Street ; and WHEREAS, the City did expend considerable time, effort , and monies to develop an intersection design , herein referred to as the "Shakopee Trunk Highway 169/ 101 Junction Improvements" , to improve traffic operations at the intersection of Trunk Highway 169 with Trunk Highway 101 in Shakopee ; and WHEREAS, this proposed improvement is immediately necessary to relieve present traffic congestion , noise and air pollution , and safety hazards ; and WHEREAS, the need for this improvement will not diminish after construction of the Shakopee Trunk Highway 101 Bypass ; and WHEREAS, further implementation of the City ' s downtown revitalization plan requires coordination with these proposed Trunk Highway improvements at this intersection . NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA, that: 1 . The City continues to support , endorse , and encourage construction of the Shakopee Trunk Highway 101 Bypass l� in a timely manner , at the earliest possible date and under no circumstances later than the time schedule published by MnDOT in the 1986-1989 extended construction schedule . 2 . The City continues to commit its staff and financial resources to assist the State of Minnesota in implementing construction of this important Regional Highway facility at the earliest possible date. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA, that: 1 . The City hereby ammends its Comprenhensive Transportation Plan to include the Shakopee Trunk Highway 169/ 101 Junction Improvements. 2. The City requests that MnDOT effect this intersection safety improvement at the earliest possible date . 3 . The City commits its staff and financial resources to assist the State of Minnesota in implementing this safety and traffic congestion improvement at the earliest possible date. -4 . In as much as the Shakopee Trunk Highway 1 69/ 101 Junction Improvements will not reduce the need for an interregional travel route , efforts on the part of the City and any/or other agency to improve traffic operations at First Avenue and Holmes Street should in no way be construed as an alternative to , or a reason for delay in construction of, the Shakopee Trunk Highway 101 Bypass.

City ''Attorney L. Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. 1610 South Sixth Street Minneapolis, Minnesota 55454 612-332-0421 November 30, 1984 Mr. John Anderson City Administrator Shakopee, Minnesota Dear Mr. Anderson: On Thursday, November 29, I met with Bill Crawford to discuss highway construction activities in the City of Shakopee. I expressed to Bill our concern, and the city's continuing interest, for advancement of the downtown improvement project. Bill indicated that he is also concerned with advancement of these projects as they effect state highway intersection improvements and he stated that he has held several discussions with city staff regarding the proposed relocation of TH 101 and the of the TH 169 intersection improvement. Bill stated that he will ask the state's bridge engineer to review, in some greater detail, the existing structure and the proposal set forth in the report which Mr. Spurrier sent him. He will also check with the U.S. Coast Guard regarding bridge clearances and their requirements for a permit to allow additional construction at that location. He did state that he feels a minimum design would include four travel lanes across the bridge and that it is very unlikely that the substructure for the existing bridge can accommodate the additional loadings without substantial construction. Informal discussions with bridge engineers indicate that, from an economic standpoint, it may be less costly to build a second structure than to rebuild the existing bridge. In discussing the bridge work, Bill does not feel that a full environmental impact statement will be required if a second structure is proposed upstream and the existing bridge remains. However, we will not know for certain until after review of an Environmental Assessment. We discussed again the state's preference for helping communities which take the initiative in developing projects which serve their area. (Bill has stated this many times and we have frequently seen in print and heard from Dick Braun at seminars that MnDOT is "pushing" for local-state partnerships in constructing new highway projects.) A number of projects are presently under construction which would not have been built without the city taking a lead role and investing both time and money to work with the state. Bill is not in a position to tell the City of Shakopee that they should make the front end investments for this project. However, he was very strong in his statement that if a partnership is established with the city, he will seek every funding source and will find every dollar which he can allocate toward specific items in the project. Until he has a specific offer from the city, he really cannot make a stronger commitment at this time. We, at Barton-Aschman, are concerned also about timely construction of the Shakopee Bypass. We feel that the best insurance for keeping this project on track will be to Ph Barton-Aschman Associates,, Inc. Mr. John Anderson November 30, 1984 Page 2 advance the design to a point where the first construction projects can be let on short notice. We feel that, with the interest and pressures for improvements in this area (traffic pressures and political interest), funding realocations and/or additional funding for construction will be found. However, to get the maximum impact of this momentum, highway design should be advanced through at least the first phase of construction so that a contract can be awarded as soon as; funds are made available. In your conversation with Kien Anderson, you indicated that a number of local funding sources might be available for work in Shakopee. This would include moneys for right-of- way acquisition, relocation, design, and construction. With this in mind, and supporting the city's policy statement, we propose that the city approach MnDOT with the following partnership offer: That the city take a lead role in advancing the downtown projects to construction at the earliest possible data. That the state agree to provide assistance (staff and construction financing) to the degree possible for this work. That the city and state agree to advance design of the Shakopee Bypass so that the first stage construction projects of this project can be ready for letting at the earliest possible opportunity. From a pratical standpoint, we expect that the following costs will be involved in this decision. Based on the city's estimate (Westwood Engineering's report of July 31, 1984) and construction of a second bridge at a cost of $1,500,000, the downtown project construction and right of way cost will be approximately $3,700.00. In addition, we recommend that the city budget approximately $500,000 for legal fees, administration, engineering, design, and miscellaneous administrative expenses. Regarding the Shakopee Bypass, we expect the design for first stage of construction (a four lane design with two lanes of construction, and intersections at-grade for both ends, and with interchanges at County Road 83 and at CSAH 17 and 15) will cost in the neighborhood of $1 million. An additional $600,000 should be budgeted for unforeseen contingencies. This brings the total cost to approximately $5.8 million. We recommend that a "partnership" be formed with MnDOT calling for 50 percent participation from both the city and state. Such a proposal from the city will would allow the state to decide which areas of contribution they can most effectively produce and will allow the city to contract for those services or construction items which are most critical from the standpoint of timing and coordination. This will also allow maximum use of external funds which are available to the city but which are not accessable to MnDOT. el Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. Mr. John Anderson November 30, 1984 Page 3 We believe that this is the most efficient way keep both projects on track without jeo ardizing one or the other as work progresses. BAA will continue to serve the city in adncing this work under the earliest possible time schedule. Sincerely yours, ohn C. an, P.E. Vice Pp6sident Kenneth W. Anderson, P.E.

In the interest of time , the City would be willing to share in 50% of the project funding as outlined in Mr. John C. Mullan ' s letter of November 30 , 1984 (attached ) . The City of Shakopee is aware of Mn/DOT' s policy to share project costs with communities in the State to move projects along faster than might be the case if the project depended solely upon Mn/DOT funding. For this reason we would like to meet with you after you have had an opportunity to read Mr. Mullan ' s letter of November 30th to begin discussing the specific elements of a partnership which would significantly advance the City' s proposals for the relocation of TH 101 and the TH 169 intersection improvements in downtown Shakopee. If you have any questions regarding City Council ' s action please contact me . The City of Shakopee is looking forward to working with Mn/DOT on these very important projects. 4cCiir purrie gineer HRS/jms cc : John Anderson , City Admr. John C . Mullan , Barton Aschman Ken W. Anderson , Barton Aschman Jeanne Andre, Community Development Dir. of I r 7rL: . _ An Eoual Onnortimit„ MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: John K. Anderson , City Administrator RE: Appraisal of Property to be Purchased by Housing Alliance DATE : December 7 , 1984 Introduction City Council has been involved in the discussion surrounding the purchase of four lots from Jerry Wampach by the Housing Alliance . The Housing Alliance proposes to construct multi-family housing on the site as part of Shakopee ' s downtown redevelopment efforts . Questions have arisen about the proposed sale price and the impact it may have on property taxes . Current Practice on Tax Increment Land Write-down Procedures The City has no particular approach to the acquisition of property in tax increment districts when it acquires land to assist in the land write-down for a particular tax increment project. The City has done two downtown tax increment districts that did not include any subsidy for the property owner. The City has provided some sort of a subsidy for the Highrise project , the Racetrack project and the K-mart project . The City has used appraisals for only the Highrise project . The Racetrack project provides a subsidy that is a land write-down and the K-mart project provided a subsidy for improvements only. Tile question is what is the most appropriate way to approach the land write-down as proposed by the Housing Alliance should it purchase the Wampach property for its proposed multi-family development. The City initially proposed to simply purchase the property from the Housing Alliance at cost. That has raised some questions about the impact of such an arrangement on property taxes in the downtown area . I have received and distributed to Councilmembers a November 30th letter from LeRoy Arnoldi of the Scott County Assessor ' s Office stating that the proposed sale would not be used to determine local real estate values by either the County Assessor ' s Office or the State Department of Revenue . A copy of that letter is attached for your review. The City has three other alternatives in approaching this proposed purchase if the City wants more documentation regarding the value of the property in question . The City can hire an appraiser and that appraiser can determine the value of the property through standard appraisal procedures . This procedure would not bind either the Housing Alliance or Mr . Wampach , but would simply provide the City with a benchmark in considering how much tax increment it will provide the Housing Alliance as a property 'B write-down . The second alternative is to have the City hire an appraiser and Mr . Wampach hire an appraiser and agree to average the prices . The third alternative is for the City to proceed through condemnation procedures which would mean that the City would have an appraiser and Mr . Wampach would have an appraiser and that three condemnation commissioners would determine the appropriate value of the land based on the two appraisals. Should either party disagree with the commissioners award legal action would be the next step . Recommendation Because there has been no one method by which the City has approached tax increment subsidies whether they are of a property write-down nature or not , I recommend that the City hire an appraiser to give the City the proper value of the property. This could quite possibly resolve any questions regarding the proper value of the property , but if it does not , the other alternatives are still available for any of the parties involved. The City normally uses Bob Strachota of Shenehon & Associates , Ken Lewis , Peter Patchin , Frank Wicker or Mike Wiley . Mr . Patchin and Mr. Wiley have appraised this parcel before and declined to do it . Mr .

Anderson, City Administrator FROM: Judith S . Cox, City Clerk -Sale Intoxicating Liquor Licenses RE : Apportionment of On DATE : December 7 , 1984 Introduction Council has set this Council meeting to discuss how to apportion the City' s 12 on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses and adoption of new criteria for consideration of new applications . Background Attached are copies of staff memos which have been distributed earlier along with a table from the Building Inspector relating to building costs . Also attached is a list of requirements the Building Inspector is suggesting be added to the Code . Using the table for computing costs for construction of a motel , the following ranges are established : Using the average cost of a Class "C" motel of $55 . 00/sq. ft . Average Units Cost/Sq. Ft . Range in Possible Square Footage Cost 50 $55 . 00 10,000 sq. ft . to 32 , 000 sq. ft . 550, 000 - 1 , 760, 000 70 $55 . 00 14, 000 sq. ft . to 40,000 sq. ft . 770, 000 - 2 , 200, 000 100 $55 . 00 20, 000 sq. ft . to 40,000 sq. ft . 1 , 100, 000 - 2, 200, 000 This information is being provided to aid in considering requiring a minimum investment for a hotel/motel . A draft ordinance will be on the Council table on Tuesday and it needs to be in affect January 1st . Per Council consensus of November 20th it will apportion on sale liquor licenses and will set a minimum investment for a hotel/motel : restaurant/bar under 4, 000 sq. ft . restaurant over 4, 000 sq. ft . - hotel motel restaurant/bar - Recommended Action 1 . Adopt or modify an ordinance which will apportion the three new liquor licenses . Must be adopted and published prior to 1/1/85 . 2 . Direct preparation of an ordinance to incorporate other criteria for consideration of license renewals as well as transfers , ie . list from Building Inspector dated 12/84 items 1-5 . JSC/jms �3 12/84 from Leroy Houser, Building Inspector Listed below are inspection, maintenance and permit require- ments that should be incorporated into the new license ordinance. 1 . Prior to issuing a license for a new facility, or existing building which has never had a liquor operation before , the facility shall be inspected by the City Building Official , Fire Marshal and Electrical Inspector for full compliance with all applicable codes . Should nonconforming uses or code violations be found, they shall be corrected prior to the issuance of the license . 2 . All facilities operating under City of Shakopee liquor license shall be connected to public sewer and water. 3 . Occupant Loads . All liquor establishments shall have room capacity posted for permitted occupant load as computed by Table 33A of the Uniform Building Code. ( State Code) (Council may wish to add suspension or revocation clause based on occupant load violations . ) 4. All liquor establishments are required to secure permits prior to any construction, remodeling or decorating which will alter floor plans , occupant loads , wall , ceiling or floor covering or any electrical , mechanical or structural change. 5 . Prior to reissuance of liquor license a code com- pliance certificate must be issued by the Building Official LH: cah MEMO TO: John Y. Anderson , CityAdministrator FROM: Judith S. Cox , City Clerk RE: Questions Raised Regarding On Sale Liquor Licenses on October 16 , 1981 Council Meeting DATE : November 16 , 198 + Introduction & Background On October 16th Council raised a number of questions relating to the structure ( ie . building ) in which a licensee holds a liquor license. The attached memo from the City Attorney addresses these questions. The building inspector has also advised me that the building code does not require handicapped facilities for a change in ownership of a license at the same location , but does require handicapped facilities for a new structure or an old structure undergoing renovation . Hence , handicapped facilities are not required to be installed in any existing structure currently holding an on sale liquor license. He also explained that an existing structure does not have to be brought up to current code if there is no threat to health or safety of customers . While amending the City Code to apportion the on sale liquor licenses in to different classes , Council may wish to have specific language added addressing some or all of the questions answered in the City Attorney' s attached memo dated October 31 , 1984 . Alternatives Question 1 . Pro - would bring structure up to code . Con - a) If owner occupied , licensee may not be able to afford improvements and be forced to continue operating or go out of business . b) If renter , licensee would have no control of owner making improvements and be forced to continue operating , go out of business , or help new owner find a new location. Question 2 . Pro - would bring structure up to code . Con - would require new licensee to look for a structure already up to code or find a location where the owner is willing to make the necessary improvements. Question 3 . Pro - would bring structure up to code . Con - may cause some existing licensee a hardship because of improvements necessary. Question 14 . Pro - would free up a license temporarily. would encourage a licensee to make necessary repairs quickly. Con - this would cause a second hardship on a licensee . in order to encourage restoration in a timely manner , a time limit might be established . Question 5 . Pro - would allow new contruction for a new licensee. Con - a new restaurant , hotel , or motel may chose not to build in Shakopee, if they weren ' t assured of a license . Question 6 . Factual - once a business ceases to operate , it loses its grandfather rights, ie, if the Council chose to apportion 6 instead of 7 licenses to bars and small restaurants ( under 14 , 000 sq. ft. ) and if Cactus Jack ' s decided not to repair their building, that license would become unavailable ; because we now have 7 licenses of this nature and we would need to get down to 6 . If Council goes with the recommendation in the staff memo apportioning 7 licenses to bars and restaurants , this is a mute point. Recommendation If Council is desireous of implementing any of the five questions , Please direct staff to incorporate them in the ordinance being drafted apportioning on sale intoxicating liquor licenses .

Coller, II, City Attorney In re: Questions raised regarding on Sale Liquor Licenses on October 16, 1984 Council Meeting Date: October 31, 1984 1. Question - Can the City require a building to be upgraded when the owner of a license sells an eXis.ting license to a new owner at the same location? Answer: Yes, as long as the upgrading is for the purpose of bringing the building up to standard or code. 2. Question - Can the City require a building to be upgraded when sell an existing license to a new owner who is moving to a new location? Answer: Yes. It would seem to me that this would be a case of a new business. 3. Question - Can the City hold up the renewing of a present licensee who has an existing license and does not upgrade his business for a long period of time? Answer: Yes., providing that the upgrading is required to bring the building up to code and safety regulations. 4. Question - Should the City renew a license while a business is shut down for reasons unrelated to the license? Answer: This is primarily a question of city policy but it seems to me that if the business is shut down for reasons- unrelated to the license, for example a fire, and considerable reconstruction and repair is required, the license should not be forfeited. 3. Can the City issue a license when asn't yet constructed and if so how long is such a license reserved for this business should it not be constructed? Answer: Again this is a policy question. It would seem to me that if a license is available and there are definite plans for constructing a premises to house the license and the Council is s-o advised they can issue a license, out, the licensee should he advised that the business must be in operation within a certain length of time or the license will be revoked and this should be made a condition of the granted license. 6. Question - If the code would permit 9ClassA licenses and 3 Class B licenses, but the City has issued more in a particular class at the time the numbers are established, and if a license is not renewed and the business closes, and if a new party comes along asking for the same class license 'is it still available or does the code govern making that license not available in that particular class? Answer: Code would govern the prior business as grandfathered in, but once not renewed or lost for anyother reason grandfather rights would terminate and the code would govern. f-5 OD N r � y•. i t' fEfPr" •.yuric m M rr as 00 cm 3 yty O t f liir D t D /`y* fn FcnI i RL INIM Ill 14. ! n. -� ,•*+q 'QRS w ruv{ + f � k O T cif c r,i� T coaCO�.o 0 CD 3l rr, � 7 „ s a R cnDO H.

JSC/jms MEMO TO: John K. Anderson, City Administrator FROM: Judith S. Cox , City Clerk RE: On Sale Liquor License Requirements DATE: November 16 , 1984 Intro uc .1 on The voters in Shakopee did approve , on November 6th, the Council issuing an additional three on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses , over and above the nine now permitted by law. Council previously indicated a desire to amend the City Code which establishes the regulations of obtaining and maintaining an on-sale intoxicating liquor license. Background In addition to state statutes regulating the sale of on-sale intoxicating liquor , the City of Shakopee requires 1 ) a new licensee to have a minimum investment in structure and fixtures of $200 , 000; and 2) an establishment containing more than 4 ,000 square feet of space must receive at least 50� of its gross receipts from the sale of food for consumption on the premises. The following establishments currently hold an on-sale intoxicating liquor license. All have a Sunday liquor license ( except Clair' s Bar) and therefore meet the state statute definition of a restaurant. *Pullman Club 1162 sq. ft. Clair' s Bar 1472 sq. ft. *Richard ' s Pub 3513 sq. ft. *Cactus Jacks 21486 sq. ft. *Arnies Friendly Folks 6148 sq . ft. *Shakopee House Restaurant 14817 sq . ft. *Rock Spring Supper Club 1091 sq . ft . *Capone ' s Restaurant 14200 sq. ft. *Granny' s Restaurant 11491 sq. ft . A survey was made of a number of communities to learn whether or not they require a minimum investment for a new licensee and to also learn whether or not they apportion their licenses to certain types of businesses. Our City Code permits the licensing of hotels , motels , restaurants , exclusive liquor stores and clubs. See attachment.

Possibilities like to suggest a third : q licenses , and I would 1 . Establish classeswithspecific definitions asdoes Burnsville . 2. Apportion licenses based upon the value of the building and fixtures as does Inver Grove Heights and Cottage Grove . 3 . Apportion licenses based on square footage, since we alread restrict licenses to restaurants only if over 14 ,000 sq. feety ie, . a) bar and/or restaurant under 14 , 000 sq, feet b) restaurant over 14 , 000 sq, feet c) hotels and motels Shakopee licenses currently issued as follows: Bar and/or restaurant under 14 , 000 sq , feet 7 Restaurant over 14 ,000 sq, feet Hotels and motels 2 0 Some possibilities might include : Bar/Restaurant Restaurant under 000 sa ft over 14 000 s Hotel r+ Alternative 1 ) Motel7 n 2) 73 2 n 3) 7 4 1 1 Bar under 14 , 000 sq , ft .

I t n adopting alternative No . 1 , I d like to point out that there would be no license available for another restaurant like Granny ' s or Mr. Steak. Action Reeuested Direct staff to prepare an ordinance apportioning the City ' s 12 on sale liquor licenses : a. Exclusive liquor store or restaurant under 4 , 000 sq. ft . - 7 b .

PROCEEDINGS OF THE DOWNTOWN AD HOC COMMITTEE SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA November 28, 1984 Chrm. Laurent called the meeting to order at 7:36 A.M. with the following voting members present: Jerry Wampach, Terry Link, Mike Sortum, Dan Steil, Don Martin and Jim Stillman. Absent: Steve Clay, Bill Wermerskirchen Jr. and Joe Topic. Also present: Jeanne Andre, Director of Community Development, John K. Anderson, City Administrator and Mel Lebens. Steil/Link moved to approve the minutes of November 14, 1984 as presented. Motion carried. Gary Laurent abstained. Jeanne Andre informed the committee that the City Council did nominate Dick Stok's and Terry Forbord to the Downtown Committee and would be appointing them at the next City Council meeting on December 4, 1984. .Chrm. Laurent informed the committee that the Industrial Commercial Commission (ICC) has requested that rather than appointing another liaison to the Downtown Committee, that the Downtown Committee send a liaison to the ICC. Terry Link volunteered to serve as liaison to the ICC. Chrm. Laurent then asked whether the Downtown Committee would agree to make a presentation at the 1985 Industry and Commerce Day which will occur at Canterbury Downs in July or August. Discussion followed with the consensus being that the Downtown Committee should participate in the Industry and Commerce Day, with Dan Steil suggesting a sub -committee be organized to work on a presentation. He volunteered along with Gary Laurent, so they will be looking for other recruits. Jeanne Andre gave an update on the preliminary review of the Housing Alliance tax Increment application for a senior housing project in downtown Shakopee. The basic proposal by the Housing Alliance is the -construction of 40 units, 20 rental and 20 condominium on Lots 4, 5, 6 & 7; Block 32 of the -CU DaS`ka4Q__thP__i_r+hq -,ZC; +��+ ori „ 1 J L L V 111111..) - V1 rental and the second 20 condominium units. They anticipate both would begin construction in 1985. The Housing Alliance cN cs�r�tatives wish to reach a preliminary agreement with the City on the type and amount of public assistance the City woula consider providing to make this project work before they proceed with detailed drawings and additional planning. three Downtown Minutes 11/28/84 John Anderson added that he thought Jeanne's two different kinds of programs were good, but might cause some confusion. Maybe we should ask ourselves, what's going to make it work and what kind of incentive do we need to establish it so people start using it. Chrm. Laurent asked how much of a grant we would be applying for. Jeanne informed him that this was still to be negotiated. Mel questioned if we had to determine exactly what the nature of the grant would be and all the details of how the loans would be structured. Jeanne said it would help to enhance the application if we did. Then Mel suggested that the initial goals be examined and then set conditions to meet those goals. Chrm. Laurent felt the money available from this loan program should be used to benefit other businesses, rather than just the businesses getting the loan. Consensus of the committee was that they wanted more people involved, like 20 - 30, instead of just a few larger projects and that we should focus on exterior developments. Dan Steil questioned a grant for residential improvement mentioned at the last meeting,if this was included in this grant proposal. Jeanne said she didn't focus on this, but could. Jeanne will work on the suggestions and bring back some ideas on matching of funds, an amount to be applying for, along with some focus on residential improvement and some more information on existing State Programs that could be used to help businesses expand. Link/Stillman moved to adjourn at 9:05 A.M. Motion carried. Toni Warhol Recording Secretary
