1984 COMMERCIAL DOCR LIC
RESOLUTION #1664 Larr� Hork was present. Herman Renner of 3180 North
Sho�e Drive was also present.
Zoning Administrator Nabusth noted for the record that
North Shore Drive Marina was dredging without a permit
fromthe City. Mabusth stated that she contacted the
DNR and that they had no record of a permit either.
Mabusth suggested tabling the 1984 commercial dock
license until North Shore Drive Nlarina applies for a
dredging permit.
Larry Hork presented a DNR permit from 1969 and 1977
and stated that the DNR permit had a maintenance
dredging provision. Hork stated that there was
miscammunication on the DNR' s part in that they
couldn 't find a record of this permit. Hork stated
that they found the permit and everything is ok with
the DNR. Hork stated that he talked to the MCWD and
they ne�ded to see where the fill was goir.g. Hork
stated that he didn' t think he needed a permit for the
wor}: done since it was maintenance dreaging . Hor.k
stated that the fill was going to be used for the
buil�ling of the garage.
City Attorney Malkerson stated that there is a valid
DNR permit. Malkerson stated that the City doeshave
an ordinance which requires a permit for dredging and
that Hork should apply for such permit. Malkerson
stated that he is surprised that the MCWD doesn' t
requ?re a permit. Malkerson stateci that Council must
decide whether Hork should continue the dredging or
not. Malkerson stated that the 1984 commercial dock
license application should be treated as a separate
issue and need not be tied into the dredging issue.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth advised Hork that this
DNR �ermit was not valid with the City and that the City
requires a separate conditional use permit.
Larry Hor.k stated that only about 10 ' of dredging is
left to do and that he is not dredging out into the lake.
Iior� stated that he needs the dock license for his
financial agency. Hork noted that neither the DNR or
the �fCWD told him that he needed a permit with the City.
Hork stated that the dredging is in between the two
docks only.
Herman Renner stated that if Hork keeps bringing in
bigger boats every year he is obviously going to have
to keep dredging. Rennerstated that the "temporary"
houseboat is still parked there and has been parked
there all summer . Renner stated that Hork should not
be allowed to park boats on that east side of the
property at all.

NORTH SHORE DRIVE MARINA Hork stated that the portion that was dredged is the
portion of the lake that the old docks covered . Hork
stated that silt gathered underneath the docks and
then when the new docks were put in that it needed
dredging. Hork stated that the LMCD has already
approved his dock plan. Hork stated that the City
required him to submit a letter from that east property
owner to park the houseboat on that side. Hork stated
that the adjacent property owner submitted a letter
stating that they didn ' t mind if the boat was parked
there.
Herman Renner stated that the battle with the marina
has been going on for 25 years . Renner stated that
they were promised that this marina would not use the

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
NAVARRE Maycr Butler noted that the City is in the early stages
of discussingan appearancechangefor Navarre through
the use of tax increment financing.
Steve Emerson, Leonard Kopp, and Arlin Waelti
represented Miller & Schroeder. Dick Keaveny, Chic
Remier, and Ned and Carol Petod were present from the
audience.
Steve Emerscn of Niller & Schroeder explained the tax
increment financing. Emerson stated that each
community has pockets of areas where there has been
obsolence and things that wear out. Emerson asked
what happens when this obsolence takes place and how
can you cure this. Emerson stated that tax increment
financing can cure those areas that need improvement. '
Emerson stated that the definition for tax increment
financing is the technique that takes advantage of new
development, within any specified project area, and
uses the taxes derived from that new development to pay
municipal improvement costs within that area.
Emerscn stated that the law says that there are three
main areas for tax increment financing:
l . Redevelopment of commercial blighted areas .
2 . Low and moderate income housing.
3 . Stimulation of economic growth.
Arlin Waelti of Miller & Schroeder explained the legal
aspects of tax increment financing. Arlin stated
that Minneapolis used the tax increment financing for
the development of Loring Park. Arlin stated that
Minneapolis took a large amount of property, the state
acquired the blighted property, and removed all
buildings. Arlin stated that the developers walked
away from the project and Minneapolis did not have any
tax increments . Arlin stated that tax increment is
that new taxable value that accrues from the new
development that would not otherwise occur except for
the public participation. Arlin stated that Loring
Park rolled over onto the tax rolls .
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 27, 1984. PAGE 11
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING Arlin stated that the complications of tax increment
financing are the limitations . Arlin stated that a
City will not get in trouble if they follow the intent
and letter of the law. Arlin stated that Orono seems
to have a good project. Arlin stated that you first
have to have a plan of action and cooperation from the
owners in Navarre.
Arlin stated that first you have to have a project
area. Arlin stated that you have to have a defined
area where public improvements will be made. Arlin
stated that you can take taxable values , in this case
taxes from the new development, and use that money for
paying for public improvements . Arlin stated that
within that project area , tax increment financing, the
pro;ect areas where the improvemet occurs , the tax
incrementdistrict, is where the taxes are generated.
Arli_n stated that where most Ci_ties got into trouble
with tax increment f inancing and the big change that we
made when we passed the law is that you should keep the
project area large and thE tax increment district
smail. Ar]_in stated that if you have development
occuring on one parcel , take that new development and
leave the rest alone. Arlin stated that the rest of
the area will follow. Arlin stated that the new
development in Navarre will probably be of limited
size. Arlin stated that the development that will
occur in Grono probably is outside Navarre that the
City is going to want to capture and use in the Navarre
area.
Arlin stated that another concept of tax increment
financing is that tax increment districts did not have
to be contiguous . Arlin stated that the City may want
to identify an area in which development is going to
occur in that new project area, and include Navarre in
project area, and in those non-contiguous project
areas, the City will identify parcels on which the
City' s public assistance is going to create new
development. Arlin stated that the City can take the
taxincrements generatedfrom a large development and
use that to assist Navarr_e. Arlin stated that in
oraer to be sure that the City has a structure and plan
that works , the City should do its financial
statements to make sure that the tax increment
district will always support the development that is
about to occur.
Arlin stated that the thing that Loring Park did not do
was to rea,uire development agreements . Arlin stated
that if the City talks with someone, and they say they
need a change in the road or whatever, and if the City
will agree to do these things, that person will agree
to acid onto their building or put a new facade on their
building.
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING flELD AUGUST 27, 1984_ PAGE 12
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING Arlin stated that before the City enters into the
project, that person should sign an agreement that
they will be committed to redevelopment. Arlin
stated that such agreement should state "not only do I
agree to do development, but I will not challenge the
City on this assessed valuation" . Arlin stated that
it is not an inflated amount, but usually the value of
the property plus the cost of the physical improvement
of the iand.
Arlin stated that the City must give notice to the
County and let them review the City ' s plans . Arlin
stated that the County does not have the power to act on
the plans, but only to review them. Arlin stated that
it is good to include the community in the plans and
also the school district.
Arlin stated that the three types of districts are as
follows :
l . Redevelopment area in blighted areas . Blight
means that the City has something that presently
exists, with five types of blight :
a) Obsolete buildings . Should be torn down or
totally rebuilt.
b) Zoning type of blight. Buildings ok but the
layout is wrong and maybe should be rezoned.
c) Areas in which the soil conditions are such that
you could never put a new building on it, so you
have to excavate and bring in fill.
d) Acquisition of railroad properties . If the
City tries to cut off railroad lots , the City would
have to pay large fees for the railroad lands .
e ) Skyways over state or federal highways .
2 . Low and moderate housing.
3 . Economic development. Bare land, but areas in
which you have to put in public utilities .
Arlin stated that districts 1 and 2 can run 25 years .
Arlin stated that Navarre would fall under the
redevelopment district.
Mayor Butler stated that her idea of any redevelopment
did not necessarily include the City going in and
buying buildings and tearing down and starting all
over again and then selling it back to him. Butler
asked how the City would implement the doing. Butler
stated that there is not a lot in Navarre for the City to
do. Butler stated that the City doesn ' t have that
much control over what Keaveny does with the physical
aspect of their building. Butler asked how does the
City make tax increment financing do what the City
� wants it to do by making Navarre a little nicer facade.
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR COUNC�L MEETING HELD AUGUST 27, 1984. PAGE 13
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING Arlin stated that tax increment financing originally
was used for the acquisition of land. Arlin stated
that tax increment f inancing does not have to be used
that way. Arlin stated that the City needs a cohesive
pla�. Arlin stated that the City may want to
construct new roads , do landscaping, lighting, curb
cuts, parking, etc.
Arlin stated that if the City wants new store fronts
and encourage the sprucing up of their buildings, the
City is talking about private property and trying to
encourage the changing of private property. Arlin
sta�ed that legislation allows for commercial
rehabilitation loans in which you can use tax
incrementfinancing, write down the interest on loans
up to $200 , 000 for rehabilitation purposes. Arlin
stated that included in the loans could be bring the
building up to code. Arlin stated that if the City is
going to encourage people to spruce up their
properties , the best way to do that is to assist them
through tax increment financing.
Steve Emerson stated that the City would borrow money
eit�er through a bond program, and use those dollars
for tax increment improvements .
Councilmember Grabek stated that the citizens are
going to say, "you the City are going to go through this
financial strategy to improve the properties in
Navarre, and all our taxes are going to increase and we
are going to pay for the betterment for the
businessment in Navarre" . Grabek stated that the
citizens are not going to understand and how should the
City answer that.
Arlin stated that the City should never put any
property into tax increment district unless the City
can answer this "Would that development have occured
without the City ' s assistance?" Arlin stated that
the City has to encourage the people to participate.
Arlin stated that commercial rehab program is only a
small portion of tax increment financing. Arlin
stated that the City is required by law to do:
1 . Have a development program.
2. Tax increment financing plan.
Dic�C Keaveny stated that he would be in favor of this
type of plan. Keaveny stated that he has wanted to do
something with his buildings for years , but hasn' t had
the money. Keaveny stated that the commercial rehab
is part of the tax increment financing.
One woman stated that Navarre is not all commercial but
is interrupted by residential units too.
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 27 , 1984 . PAGE 14
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING Arlinstated that the City hasto make policy decisi.ons
whether they want to include the residential areas as
well as the commercial areas. Arlin stated that the
City would also have to make the policy decision
whether or not they would want to include the
commercial rehab as part of the tax increment
financing.
Counci.lmember Grabek said lets say there is agreement
among the people. Grabek stated that the City puts
toaether. a plan , which is not free. Grabek stated
that the citizens don' t like it. Grabek stated that
the City has taken the risk and spent money and
incurred an expense that can ' t be reimbursed .
Arlin stated that the overall plan is not that large of
a project. Arlin stated that the development program
and that tax increment plan is usually done together.
Arlin stated that the architectural drawing costs for
individualbuildingsare placed on the property owner ,
not the City. Arlin stated that the City has to commit
themselves to the redevelopment and they the City
needs one individual who is willing to add to their
bui_lciing. Arli.n stated that the City doesn ' t have to
wait for everyone to agree on one plan . Arlin stated
that the City may agree to landscape, install
lighting, fencing or whatever public improvementsthe
City feels is needed.
Nayor Butler asked how the City is going to cover its
front end costs .
Arlin stated that those costs would probably be
covered under the first bonds issued.
City Attorney Malkerson stated that if the City were to
incur $30 , 000 in fees to come up with some plan, that
within the next year or two, at least one parcel in the
project area will develop even on their own and the
City could capture that increment and pay those fees
off . Malkerson stated that the City should have no
problem paying off those costs because of the
de�elopment that should occur.
Arlin suqgested that the City hold two meetings .
Arlin stated that the f irst meeting should be with the
business community and then the Council should hold a
work shop to discuss the improvements that need to be
made.
City Attorney Malkerson stated that the City should
