Background
Crown Iron Works Company is a global industrial equipment and engineering services provider for the oilseed processing and edible oil refining industries. In order to sustain its research and development activities, Crown is proposing to move its world headquarters to Blaine. The site they have chosen is the former Mortenson Buildings site on Naples Street. The company will be relocating 102 jobs with an average income over $90,000 to the new facility in Blaine. Crown Iron Works was previously in Roseville.
The City Council approved a conditional use permit, variance and a preliminary plat for this project on June 21, 2018. The applicant is now requesting final plat approval. Crown is buying two properties from Mortensen in order to meet site requirements. These two sites are combined into one 18.6 acre lot on the proposed plat of JW Blaine Yard Addition (Mortenson Crown Iron Works). Because the two parcels are split between Torrens and Abstract registered property, the new Lot is shown as Lots 1 and 1A. This is typical of where we have both types of legal registrations and allows the City to treat them as one lot for permitting and land use.
Park dedication is due with the plat and development of this property and needs to be paid at this time. The current industrial park dedication rate is $6,702 per upland acre and the fee is required prior to release of final plat mylars for recording at Anoka County.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
