Marshall EDA received a land sale proposal from Jim Swenson of Action Landscaping Supply to purchase 2.26 acres of land. The proposed property is owned by the HRA and is located at the corner of London Road and Channel Parkway. The land would be used to add a pickup/delivery driveway into the property he recently purchased on W Main St in addition to stockpile storage. Swenson will sign a driveway access agreement with Marshall Machine Shop, so no easement is needed for the project. Swenson will purchase the property as Best Topsoil, LLC. Marshall EDA is also working with another business on a potential development on Parcel 27- 538002-0. The sale of the 2.26 acres will not interfere with the proposed project and both parties are in agreement of the subdivision of the current parcels. The property breakdown would be as follows: • Parcel 27-538002-0: 0.46 acres • Parcel 27-538003-0: 1.8 acres Swenson has offered $42,500 for the 2.26 acres of land and would pay for survey/plat costs associated with the sale. In addition, Swenson agrees to install a ditch on Parcel 27-538003-0 for drainage. This ditch could be used for future projects on Parcel 27-538002-0 and Parcel 27-538003-0 Motion made by Board Member Schafer, Seconded by Board Member Lozinski to call for Public Hearing on Tuesday, October 13th at 5:00 pm at the Minnesota Emergency Response and Industrial Training (MERIT) Center, 1001 Erie Road.
