INTRODUCTION & DISCUSSION
The City has received a request from Gordon Galarneau, Chairman with Interstate Companies, Inc. to
extend the approval of the Final Plat of Interstate Addition (please see attached exhibits for site
location and correspondence).
Section 12.10, Subd. 2 of the City Code states that "upon request by the developer, the City Council
may extend the approval period for a preliminary or final plat, subject to all applicable performance
conditions and requirements. A request for an extension must be filed on or before the expiration date
of the preliminary or final plat."
The final plat was originally approved on April 21, 2009. Due to unforeseen economic matters, the
applicant is not prepared to proceed with the recording of the plat within the allotted two year time
frame (April 21, 2011); therefore, they have requested an extension to April 20, 2013 be granted. The
applicant has not proposed any changes to the approved plat.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Extend the approval period for the final plat of Interstate Addition to April 20, 2013.
2. Extend the approval period for the final plat of Interstate Addition by another amount of time.
3. Do not extend the approval period for the final plat of Interstate Addition.
4. Table a decision and request additional information from staff and /or the developer.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the extension of the approval period of the final plat for Interstate Addition to April
20, 2013 (Alternative No. 1).
ACTION REQUESTED
Offer a motion to extend the approval period of the final plat of Interstate Addition to April 20, 2013,
and move its adoption.

Re: Preliminary Plat and Conditional Use Permit
Interstate Power Systems, Inc.— Shenandoah Business Park ( "Interstate
Addition ")
Dear Mr. Leek:
2601 American Blvd. East • Minneapolis, MN 55425.952- 854 -2044
The Shakopee City Council approved the preliminary and final plat for Interstate
Addition on April 21, 2009. Under Section 12.10, Subd. 1 of the Shakopee City Code,
Interstate has two years from the date of the resolution to complete the Developer's
Agreement and record the final plat. That two year period expires on April 20, 2011.
Section 12..10, Subd. 2 of the Shakopee City Code authorizes the council to extend the
date on which the final plat must be recorded.
Interstate submits this letter to request an extension of the deadline date foi recording of
the final plat and completion of the Developer's Agreement to April 20, 2013.
On December 1, 2009 the Council adopted a resolution extending the related
Conditional Use Permit until one year after the date on which the final Interstate
Addition plat is recorded and thus no further action should be required with respect to
the Conditional Use Permit.
The plat approval in April of 2009 was granted in the midst of the worst recession our
country has experienced since the Depression of the 1930s. It was our hope at that
time that the economic recovery following the recession would be well under way by
April of 2011. As we all know, the recovery has been slower than hoped for and many
challenges remain. Among them, there continues to be significant uncertainty in the
commercial real estate market and the ability to finance such projects. These macro
economic conditions have affected Interstate just like every other business and slowed
down our ability to expand our operations.
INe remain committed to relocating our business to Shakopee and bringing new jobs
and economic activity to the area. However, we will not be able to get that
accomplished by the current deadline date in April of 2011.

We therefore request that the City Council approve an extension of our deadline for
completing the Developer's Agreement and recording the final Plat through April 20,
2013. It is our belief at this time that the general state of the economy will improve
sufficiently over the next year that we can begin to realize our plans to move the
business to Shakopee. Because of the highly specialized nature of our business and
the sophisticated nature of the equipment that is needed to run our operation, it will take
over a year of extensive planning and incremental investment to plan and begin to
implement the transition of our operations to Shakopee. Therefore, we request an
extension to April 20, 2013.
We appreciate the Council's support of our efforts to bring new business and jobs to
Shakopee.
Please advise if you need any further information,
Very truly yours,
Gordon Galarneau
