Economic Development Authority Minutes <br />June 14, 2004 <br />Page 5 <br />Ms. Mehelich stated that the future post office would be located directly south of the <br />subject parcel on Lot 1, Block 1. <br />Commissioner Motin stated that he feels this is an office condo area and that an auto <br />body shop would not be the best use of that property. <br />Ms. Mehelich stated that the post office project would include retail sales as well as <br />distribution facility. She stated the ABRA Auto Body building design is of a very high <br />standard. <br />President Gongoll stated that he understands the concern but hopes that we look at <br />the quality of the development and the type of construction that may go on as one of <br />the determining factors. He feels favorable about the project. <br />9. Updates <br />Ms. Mehelich stated that the HRA received an initial request from Arrow Building <br />Center for redevelopment of their site with removal of five buildings. However, the <br />site did not work well for the company's layout needs. Arrow Building Center may be <br />moving out of the community since the only site to fit their needs would be the <br />Cascade Industrial Park, which is completely sold. This is unfortunate because it <br />involves 15 jobs in the downtown area. The company does have a letter of intent with <br />an existing lumberyard in another community. This prompted the HRA to schedule a <br />work session for a discussion of visioning for the area north Highway 10 downtown <br />for June 30 at 4 p.m. <br />10. A_diournment <br />There being no other business, the meeting of the Elk River Economic Development <br />Authority adjourned at 6:40 p.m. <br />Joan Schmidt <br />City Clerk <br />
