4. Amend Leases of 1314 Mississippi Street & 6491 Central Avenue
Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, stated that the Authority approved the purchase of
1314 Mississippi Street at the April meeting and the property was closed on May 13. The
properties include one single family resident and a small commercial building. The Authority
took over the leases for both properties. The original lease for 1314 Mississippi Street expires
August 2nd with no renewal or extension. The tenant is looking for a home to purchase and has
asked to amend the lease and charge rent of $1.00 per month for June, July and August. The
tenant is not able to find home a home to purchase and would like the option to stay until
November 1 and pay full rent for September and October. 6491 Central Avenue has a
commercial building and the lease is due to expire October 5, 2021. The tenant is asking the
Authority to terminate their lease on July 16 and prorate rent for July as she already found
another building. Staff recommends the Authority approve the motion amending property
leases as presented.
Motion by Commissioner Backlund to amend the leases of 1314 Mississippi Street and 6491
Central Avenue. Seconded by Commissioner Showalter.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chair Holm declared the motion carried unanimously.
5. Review and Make a Recommendation on a S-2, Redevelopment District Master Plan
Amendment, MP #21-01 Request for Medtronic, located at 500 Medtronic Parkway N.E.
Stacy Stromberg, Planning Manager, stated that Medtronic is requesting an amendment to the
S-2, Master Plan that was approved in 1999 for the Operational Headquarters (OHQ) site located
at 500 720 Medtronic Parkway. This amendment would allow for the construction of a ground
mounted Solar Energy Garden that would be located on the vacant land to the west of the
existing buildings on the Campus. The petitioner notes in their narrative that the solar garden
would consist of approximately 3,300 panels. The solar array is expected to operate on the
property until additional building space is needed to s
for 20 years, with the ability for Medtronic to extend the contract OR buy out the project and
have it removed at any time during the 20-year term.
:
Jufn!3/
Housing & Redevelopment Authority Regular Minutes Page 3
Meeting 6/3/2021
The solar garden will consist of steel posts embedded in the ground, with the modules attached
to the top. The modules will track the sun east to west throughout the day. This site was once
the home of the 100 Twin Drive-In Theater.
the land was purchased by Woodbridge Properties who intended to develop the property. After
a short term of ownership and attempt to take a project through the development process,
Woodbridge Properties began to experience financial difficulties and ended up not developing
the site. Initially the HRA marketed the site as Lake Point Office Park and concept site plans and
renderings were prepared to show how the site could be developed. The initial plan considered
a small amount of office, commercial, and a hotel immediately adjacent to Hwy 65/Central
Avenue. The remainder of the site was marketing with and eye on attracting a corporate
headquarters. The idea was that this would be the impressive entrance into the community as
Central and 694. The better part of 13 years was spent courting Medtronic as the ideal candidate
for this site.
Only after the City of Fridley signed a development deal in 1997, with a company headquartered
in the United Kingdom did Medtronic step forward and confirm interest in owning and
developing the site. Fortunately, the HRA had built in a caveat to the UK Development deal that
said, if Medtronic were to step forward, prior to their construction on the site, the HRA could
cancel the development deal to negotiate for a Medtronic Development. Once Medtronic
stepped forward, a lengthy negotiation process began. Lengthy enough that the HRA and
Medtronic felt it would be necessary to re-approach the State Legislature to extend the 25-year
Tax Increment Financing District that was created to assist with extraordinary site development
costs.
In 2000 the Master Plan amendment was approved to allow construction of the daycare. 2001
a temporary parking lot was constructed and in 2008 the Master Plan amendment was approved
to construct a billboard. The Master Plan amendment being considered tonight is to allow five
acres of undeveloped land that is master planned for Phases 2 and 3 to be covered with ground-
mounted solar. City Code considers ground-mounted solar an accessory use in any zoning
district, provided a special use permit is issued. The City currently does not have a separate
-do list.
conditions:
!Rogers requires that no more than 5% of the lot area be covered
!Minneapolis requires that no more than 5% of the lot area be covered in office
districts
!St. Francis requires that no more than 10% of the lot area be covered
!Hopkins only allowed on closed landfill restricted districts
!Andover does not allow ground mounted equipment in non-residential areas
!Coon Rapids dies not allow them if they are to provide offsite energy production
!Golden Valley and Blaine require that a special use permit be approved.
21
Jufn!3/
Housing & Redevelopment Authority Regular Minutes Page 4
Meeting 6/3/2021
Another consistent requirement is that the equipment must be screened to the extent possible
without reducing their efficiency.
The City through its Energy Action Plan and Comprehensive Plan encourages Renewable Energy
and Solar particularly in under-utilized areas such as over roofs and parking lots.
support for these types of projects was evident in recommending approval of the solar panel
car-
permit. Teherea re several factors to consider in reviewing this request and a combination of
those factors causes staff to recommend denial.
The current code requires that a special use permit be issued for solar energy devices that are
not part of the principal structure. In the case of the parcel addressed as 500 Medtronic Parkway,
there are two separate parcels.
City staff recommends denial of the Master Plan amendment, MP#21-01, to allow ground-
mounted solar at the Medtronic Operational Headquarters property based on the factors
mentioned above. City staff is asking for the HRA to make a recommendation to the Planning
Commission and City Council on the Master Plan Amendment Request. Planning Commission
will hold a public hearing on June 16, 2021 and City Council will review the request on June 28,
2021.
Jason Kringle, Medtronic Facilities Director, understands the concerns of staff.
primary goal of the project is to utilize the field next to the primary structure to reach
sustainability goals to be carbon neutral by 2030. Medtronic is doing projects like this across
the globe. He understands the concerns about the master plan but guarantees they would not
stop building because of the solar garden in the area. Medtronic is looking for ways to address
sustainability goals and utilize the vacant space.
Commissioner Schwankl asked if the rooftop or parking lot installation of solar panels would
work.
Dan Rogers, Nokomis, replied that they looked at those solutions, but they would not be as
effective. The challenge with solar is doing it efficiently and in a cost-effective manner. A
community solar garden operates on a different revenue structure.
Mr. Kout, they would be less likely to pursue
the project.
Commissioner Backlund asked what the break-even point would be or how many years it would
take for the project to be self-sufficient.
Mr. Kringle replied that Nokomis is going to front the capital costs in return for a 20-year lease. If
the life of the current panels exceeded 20 years, that would be the break-even point.
Mr. Rogers said that if a buyout happened and a building was needed, there would be a
termination schedule.
22
Jufn!3/
Housing & Redevelopment Authority Regular Minutes Page 5
Meeting 6/3/2021
Chair Holm said that if a buyout happened after 2 years the loss would be substantial, but after
20 years it would be nominal. Immediately Medtronic would benefit and paying Nokomis to
partially offset the cost of electricity.
Commissioner Showalter asked if there was originally an anticipated timeline of a full buildout
with phase 2 and phase 3. The TIFF district was extended and
building is on the site.
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, replied that there was no timeline, but a certain
amount of square footage was required in phase one of the development to secure the
property.
Commissioner Showalter was concerned about the future if other buildings will be added.
Mr. Kringle said that the intent is to still build another building, but with COVID many staff are
working from home and there is no formal plan in place for people returning to work. The intent
is to build on the property. The way Medtronic is structured, the Mounds View campus is set up
for more offices verses more open space. They are a different operation and the headquarters
in Fridley is a separate group.
Wally Wysopal, City Manager, asked what was up for consideration for the Authority tonight.
Ms. Stromberg replied that because the area is zoned S-2 Redevelopment District the
redevelopment code states that the HRA needs to make a recommendation to Council. Staff is
looking for an approval or denial that can be brought to the Planning Commission and City
Council.
Mr. Hickok noted that if the HRA recommends approval, there would be consideration of default
on the development agreement to be considered by the HRA.
Mr. Bolin added that because of the S-2 District and they are in a TIFF District, this comes back
to the HRA because the HRA has paid Medtronic $12M in tax increment to assist with the parking
deck. If this was approved by City Council it would still come back to the Authority to ask for an
amendment to the development agreement or find Medtronic in default and they would lose
$2.0M in tax increment over the rest of the district. Tax increment will continue to go into this
site.
Chair Holm said that this is a difficult issue in that we all agree solar energy is very important. The
issue is with the master plan agreement.
Commissioner Backlund moved to table this discussion until the Authority receives more clear
information on what we are doing with this holistic product.

and would like to bring that to Fridley. He looks at using this space adjacent to corporate
headquarters for something good rather than a field until we need another building.
Vickie Johnson, Attorney, said that due to the timing action would need to be taken tonight. The
development contract requires the Authority to approve or reject in writing within 40 days after
the receipt of the request thereof.
Commissioner Schwankl said that Medtronic could withdraw their request and resubmit next
month.
Ms. Johnson said that the Authority could reject this request and Medtronic could resubmit an
amendment any time after rejection or send forth a revised plan. Medtronic submitted the
application on May 14, time starts to accept or reject and provide reasons thereof. The HRA can
accept and approve or reject and provide reasons in accordance with the terms of the contract.
Commissioner Schwankl agreed to reject this request as it is not keeping the promise of the
master plan, we need to look out for taxpayers to get something built there with taxable value
to be a benefit to the community. This is also not a great spot to have 5 acres of panels visually.
Commissioner Backlund withdrew his motion to table this item.

of this site and how sustainability it will fit long term when additional buildings are on this spot.
