Special City Council Meeting Wednesday, December 16, 2015 Page 3 RCA dated December 16, 2015. Mr. Lloyd reviewed the request for these cur- rently un-addressed parcels south and east of County Road C-2 and Mount Ridge Road, formerly known as the PIK Terminal under Pikovsky Management, LLC. Mr. Lloyd advised that the applicant, Calyxt, Inc., intended to developer their corporate headquarters that included indoor research and development facilities, greenhouses, and up to five acres of outdoor research plots. Mr. Lloyd noted that this request was specific to the outdoor door use only, as the remainder of devel- opment fell within permitted uses for this site. After further staff analysis and since developinent of the agenda materials, Mr. Lloyd advised that a substitute condition to replace that of Condition E as follows: "As part of the required Building Permit process and necessary storm water design review, the applicant shall work with city staff to meet the following requirements: 1) To help protect the water quality of Langton Lake, the agriculture research plots shall be graded to drain runoff towards existing or new storm water infrastructure. No constructed outlets from this site will be allowed to flow towards or into Lang Lake. 2) For any portion of the site that is not regarded or can't be reasonably re- garded to drain runoff towards existing or new storm water infrastructure, the applicant shall go above and beyond the City of Roseville's standard and treat the volume from a 2" rain event. Community Development Director Paul Bilotta reviewed the next steps for Cal�t in finalizing their acquisition of this property.

Mr. Bilotta noted that the City's contract brownfield consultant would be availa- ble to assist through this process as needed. Upon completion of the applicant's pro forma and receipt by the City of their TIF application, Mr. Bilotta advised that the request may also include a request for traditional TIF funds if needed. Mr. Bilotta noted that Cal�t may be replatting the property to better suit development plans, but advised that whatever applica- tions were forthcoining, they would need to stand on their own merits. Mr. Bilotta noted that, due to the nature of this outdoor agricultural research, City staff was limited in its regulatory role, and therefore had already contacted other agencies (U. S. Fish and Wildlife, Department of Natural Resources, applicable watershed district, and Department of Agriculture) for their input and review. Mr. Bilotta also referenced the traffic study already in existence for this area. Mr. Bi-
