ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration to amend a Resolution to correct error regarding a Conditional Use Permit at
6417 L ndale Avenue oodlake Plaza Sho in Center.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Adopt the attached amended Resolution authorizing a
Conditional Use Permit for a restaurant with customer seating at 6417
L ndale Avenue Woodlake Plaza Sho in Center.
I II. BACKGROUND I
On February 8, 2005 the Council approved a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a
restaurant with seating at 6417 Lyndale Avenue. The applicant has since recorded
this Resolution with Hennepin County, as is required by State and local statutes.
Recently it came to staff's attention that an error exists in the Resolution granting
approval of the above-mentioned CUP. As CUPs run with the land, rather than an
individual business, it is important that the Resolution recorded both with Hennepin
County and the City is correct.
The first stipulation of the current Resolution states that "a Conditional Use Permit is
issued for a two-family dwelling..." The remainder of the Resolution correctly refers
062706 - Resolution correction 6417 Lyndale Ave S
to the issuance of a CUP for a restaurant with customer seating. The amended
Resolution corrects this error.
I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I
I A. POLICY I
. CUPs run with the land. It is important to avoid any potential
confusion that could arise in the future due to this error.
. The property is guided for community commercial use in the
Comprehensive Plan, not residential.
I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I
. The proprietress of the restaurant currently operating at this location
has been notified of the error and will be sent a new copy of the
amended Resolution.
I C. FINANCIAL I
. Neither the property owner, nor the proprietress was charged a fee for
this correction.
I D. LEGAL
. N/A
I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I
. Do not approve the amended Resolution. Confusion could arise at a later
date, as the Resolution currently states that a Conditional Use Permit for a
two-family dwelling has been issued for the premise.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Public hearing regarding consideration of a resolution for the installation of a ground
monument sign at 7525 Oliver Avenue (Woodlake Lutheran Church) that does not conform to
the Si n Ordinance.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Conduct and close the public hearing and by motion: Approve th
attached resolution for special Council approval of a sign to be
located four feet from the right-of-way at Woodlake Lutheran Church
7525 Oliver Avenue.
I II. BACKGROUND I
Woodlake Lutheran Church is requesting a new ground monument sign along its
76th Street frontage. The location of the current sign is no longer adequately visible
due to a recently installed bus shelter and utility and civil defense siren poles on
either side of Newton Avenue. The Church is requesting to install a new sign
farther to the west.
Normally, sign permit requests are approved administratively; however, the City
Code requires that in the case of an application for a sign of unusual height, or
location, the manager shall refer such sign to the Council for approval. In
062706 Wood lake Lutheran Sign
accordance with Subsection 416.07 Subd. 3 of the City Code, institutional signs
must be set back 10 feet from any right-of-way. The proposed sign is set back four
feet from the right-of-way.
I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
I A. POLICY
. Proposed sign is a ground monument sign.
a Institutional ground monument signs are required to be
set back 10 feet from the right-of-way.
. Section 416.03 Subd. 6. Special approval from Council. In the case
of an application for a sign of unusual height, or location, the manager
shall refer such sign to the Council for approval. No permit for any
such sign, so referred, shall be issued without first obtaining the
approval of Council.
I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I
. The Church's existing sign is approximately 10.5 feet from the right-of-
way.
. The installation of a new bus shelter and utility poles has limited the
visibility of the current sign.
. The landscaped area that is available for the placement of a new sign
narrows as one moves to the west.
. In order to comply with the 10-foot set back, a new sign would have to
be located within the parking lot and would reduce the number of
parking spaces.
. This parking lot is used for both the Church and as a park-and-ride
facility for Metro Transit riders.
. The proposed location of the sign allows for better visibility, while
maintaining set backs that allow for both safe passage and snow
removal and storage.
. The Church has obtained the signatures of 13 property owners within
the 350-foot notification area surrounding the property who have
indicated that they are in favor of the proposal.
. The sign is outside any visibility triangles.
I C. FINANCIAL
. N/A
I D. LEGAL I
. Notification of this hearing has been sent to residents and property
owners within 350 feet of the subject property.
I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I

The Church must comply with set back requirements.

REpORT PREPARED By:

COUNCIL PRESENTER:
DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR

REVIEWED BY CITY
MANAGER:
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consider the award of contracts for the Lime Sludge Filter Press Replacement Project.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
. By Motion: Approve the bid minutes and tabulation and award of
contract to Magney Construction, Inc. for the total bid amount of
$1,364,750.00 which includes the award of both Alternate Bid items
for the re lacement of the Lime Slud e 'Presses.
I II. BACKGROUND I
The Water Treatment Plant was built in 1963. The lime sludge presses were added
in 1984. The presses have not been replaced or had any major maintenance done
to them. The sludge presses have performed well for the City, however, due to their
age they are in need of replacement, parts have become costly and difficult to
obtain.
The alternate bids were for:
. A new garage door to the dewatering building that houses the presses.
. A new metal stairway that has deteriorated.
0627sludge
The City hired Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates to prepare plans and
specifications for the replacement of the lime sludge presses.
I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I
I A. POLICY I
. A bid opening was held on May 11, 2006.
. Pursuant to Section 8.04 of the City Charter, the project required an
approval of a transitory ordinance because the estimated project cost
exceeds $500,000. This process entailed a first reading held at the
May 23 City Council meeting and a public hearing and second
reading held at the June 13 City Council meeting
. Magney Construction, Inc. was the lowest responsible bidder and is
an established contractor that meets all of the City's requirements.
I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I
. The current lime sludge presses have spent they're useful life and are
in need of replacement. Parts have become costly and difficult to find.
. Approval at the June 27,2006 City Council meeting will allow the
process to begin the replacement of the lime sludge presses.
I C. FINANCIAL I
. At the April 25, 2006 City Council meeting, Council approved the sale
of $6,080,000 G.O. Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2006A,
for capital improvements at the Water Plant.
. Accordingly, proceeds from the G.O. Water and Sewer Bonds will fund
the replacement of the lime sludge filter presses.
I D. LEGAL I
. All contracts or purchases in excess of $25,000 require Council
approval.
. All contracts or purchases over $50,000 require sealed bids to be
solicited by public notice
. At the June 13 City Council meeting, a public hearing was held and
subsequently Council approved the transitory ordinance for this
project.
I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I
. Council could reject all bids and instruct staff to re-advertise
. Council may chose to take no action at this time.
I V. ATTACHMENTS
. Bid Minutes and Tabulations
. Bid Evaluation
I VI. PRINCIPALP ARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING

REVIEWED BY CITY
MANAGER:
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
(1) First reading of a Transitory Ordinance authorizing the sale of real property for right-of-way

Interchange Project and Cedar Point Project); and (2) Approval of Purchase Agreement with
Richfield Housin and Redevelo ment Authorit for the sale of land Cedar Point Pro"ect .
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By motion: (1) Approve first reading of the attached Transitory
Ordinance authorizing the sale of real property for right-of-way
purposes to the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the sale
of excess right-of-way real property and other city-owned real
property to the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority and
scheduling a public hearing and second reading for same on July 11,
2006 (66th Street I TH 77 Interchange Project and Cedar Point Project)
and (2) Adopt Resolution approving purchase agreement with the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Richfield
for the sale of land Cedar Point Pro'ect .
062706 1 stTranOrd Land CedarPointREVISED
I II. BACKGROUND I
. On August 2, 1999 the City Council (City) held a study session to review the
proposed layout to widen the 66th Street bridge at Trunk Highway 77 (TH 77)
and improve the ramps (Bridge Project). This was in response to the findings
of the Environmental Impact Statement for the new North-South runway at
the airport that projected increase in truck traffic from the new air cargo
facility and redevelopment on the east side of Richfield.
. On August 9, 1999 the City approved a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) between the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT),
Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) and the City that delineated each
agency's responsibility for the Bridge Project.
. After a public hearing on the layout of the interchange in late November 1999
the City on January 24, 2000 approved a revised MOU and an agreement
with MAC for funding land acquisition for the Bridge Project.
. On February 26, 2002 another agreement with MAC was approved that
outlined the procedures and conditions for acquiring residential properties in
the 87db noise contour, and apartment properties on Cedar Avenue, north of
66th Street, with $10 million of federal funds.
. On March 26, 2002 the City approved execution of an agreement with the
Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development (Dted) for a $5
million grant to be used to purchase properties impacted by low frequency
noise, namely along 18th Avenue, north of 66th Street.
. On March 22, 2005 the City approved execution of an Agreement with
Hennepin County for a $2 million grant in association with the Multi-
Jurisdictional Reinvestment Program (MJP).
. Since the availability of these funding sources, the City has been actively
acquiring and ~Iearing land for the Bridge Project and assembling land for
development of the area immediately adjacent to it.
. Last year MnDOT began construction of the Bridge Project and certain public
improvements on 66th Street East.
. On May 16, 2005 the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA)
approved a Contract for Private Development (Developer's Agreement) with
Ryan Companies US, Inc. (Developer) for a retail development, Cedar Point
Commons (Development Project) that contemplates certain land
conveyances.
. On October 25, 2005 the City Council approved a two-lane roundabout
design for the new intersection at 66th Street and 17th Avenue and a
financing plan concept for proposed improvements.
. It is now appropriate for the City to (1) sell real property to MnDOT for the
Bridge Project; (2) sell excess real property from the Bridge Project and
certain other city-owned real property to the HRA for subsequent resale to
the Developer; and (3) sell certain additional land proposed to be acquired by
the City for the new roundabout to the HRA contingent upon the City's ability
to obtain title and possession to the real property.
. Attached are two maps one entitled Right-of-Way Parcels (yellow) and one
entitled Excess Right-of-Way Parcels (red). The Right-off-Way Parcels map
indicates the land to be conveyed to MnDOT. The Excess Right-of-Way
Parcels map is the residual land not needed by MnDOT and which will be
conveyed to the HRA and subsequently to the Developer.
. Staff is working with legal counsel in its review of the respective funding
agreements for original acquisitions. All real property resales will be
undertaken in accordance with these agreements.
. Legal counsel has prepared the attached Purchase Agreement for land
conveyances between the City and HRA. At this time it has been determined
that a Purchase Agreement for conveyance of property to MnDOT is not
needed. At this writing, the HRA is scheduled to consider this Purchase
Agreement on June 26, 2006.
. I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I
I A. POLICY I
. Since 2000 the City has acquired real property for right-of-way
purposes and airport impacted real property for redevelopment in
accordance with airport mitigative strategies.
. Particular funding agreements identified above dictate the re-use and
cost associated with disposing of the acquired lands.
. The first reading of a transitory ordinance in accordance with the City
Ordinance is the initial step in conveying city-owned land to MnDOT
for the Interchange Project and to the HRA for redevelopment
purposes.
. A purchase agreement between the City and HRA is necessary to
undertake the land sale transaction.
I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I
. MnDOT is nearing completion of construction of the Bridge Project
and will take the land necessary for right-of-way by the Department of
Transportation Commissioner's Orders, in accordance with Minnesota
State Statutes. However, MnDOT would also like the conveyance of
title to the land to be given by deed.
· A permanent right-of-way line was set by MnDOT in discussions with
City staff last year. More recently, the line was re-set to better
accommodate the Development Project while addressing the needs of
the Bridge Project.
. The HRA, in accordance with the terms of the Developer's Agreement
is required to sell certain land to the Developer for the Development
Project.
. At this writing, the Planning Commission is scheduled to consider a
resolution finding that the sale of certain properties related to the
Development Project conforms to the general plans for the
development and redevelopment of the city.
. Undertaking the first reading of a transitory ordinance at this time will
allow the transitory ordinance process to be completed by the end of
August, 2006 and allow the HRA to perform in a timely manner in
accordance with the Developer's Agreement.
I C. FINANCIAL I
. Each agreement noted above has its own stipulations as to value of
land at time of conveyance and time frames for performance. All land
conveyances will be undertaken in accordance with these
agreements. Staff continues to work with legal counsel on evaluating
land values.
I D. LEGAL I
. The City's legal counsel has been working with staff and the HRA's
legal counsel in reviewing land conveyance matters and the various
contracts and funding agreements that encumber the land.
. The public hearing and second reading of the transitory ordinance is
proposed to be held on July 11, 2006 following consideration by the
Planning Commission for land disposition and conformity to the
Comprehensive Plan of the City on June 26, 2006.
I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I
. Delay first reading of the transitory ordinance.
. Do not proceed with the transitory ordinance process at this time.

1. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Adopt the attached Resolution approving the
modification to City Agreement, including the Public Improvements
and Special Assessment Agreement and Option and Right of First
Refusal A reement with R an Com anies US, Inc.
I II. BACKGROUND I
On May 16, 2005 the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA)
approved a Contract for Private Redevelopment (Contract) with Ryan Companies
US, Inc. (Ryan) for the redevelopment of the Cedar Point area. The Contract
requires the City and Ryan to enter into the City Agreement, including Special
Assessment Agreement and Right of First Refusal Agreement (Agreement)
regarding the construction of the new intersection at 17th Avenue and 66th Street
prior to Ryan closing on HRA and City-owned properties. On June 13, 2006 the
City Council approved the City Agreement, which included the Special Assessment
Agreement and the Option and Right of First Refusal Agreement.
061306 Special Assessment and Excess Land
The changes to the City Agreement include the changes that the City Attorney
briefed the Council at the June 13th meeting:
. Ryan will be responsible for moving utilities within the 66th Street right-of-way in
association with the construction of the new intersection, and the City will
reimburse Ryan.
. The City agrees to assigns all rights the City has with regard to enforcing the
liquidated damage provision of its contract with the contractor responsible for the
construction and completion of the intersection project.
. The City can void the intersection construction contract if the contractor does not
perform by August 1, 2007 and have Ryan complete the intersection project.
. If Ryan is required to complete the intersection project, the City shall reimburse
Ryan in an amount equal to the amount that would have been paid to the
contractor in default pursuant to terms and conditions of the contract.
. The City shall provide Ryan with preliminary plans and specifications work for
the intersection project on or before September 1, 2006.
. The intersection project shall be constructed consistent with the preliminary
plans and specifications approved by Ryan subject to requirements of the
governmental agencies required to approve the plans and specifications.
. The land subject to the Option and Right of First Refusal includes all land that
the City acquires in connection with the intersection project within the area
bounded by 67th Street on the south, 16th Avenue on the west, 65th Street on
the north, and 18th Avenue on the east that is in excess of the land that is
actually used for the intersection project right-of-way.
. Ryan's Right to Purchase by Option is limited if the City passes a resolution
within 2 % years from the date of the Agreement that the City intends to
construct an access road over a portion of the Excess Land for the municipal
store and if the access road is constructed within 4 years of the date of this
Agreement.
In addition, following are the proposed amendments to the City Agreement since
June 13, 2006:
. A detailed Milestone Work Schedule for the construction of the new intersection,
and the City's contract for the new intersection shall include the Milestone Work
Schedule.
. If the project exceeds budget, the southern leg of the intersection is the part of
the project that will be eliminated.
. The City and Ryan will continue to discuss responsibilities of the public
improvements and bring those agreements to the City Council as amendments
to this Agreement.
. The City no longer needs Target's consent to build the roundabout.
. The mistakenly omitted option of constructing a liquor store on the west side of
17th Avenue extended has been replaced.
. The City agrees that on July 11, 2006 the City Council shall approve an
ordinance authorizing the City to sell the portion of the HRA property that is
owned by the City to the HRA.
. The City agrees to purchase from Ryan the Third Party Property which has been
acquired by Ryan and assume Ryan's obligation to purchase Third Party
Property which have not yet closed if the City fails to approve an ordinance
authorizing the City to sell the portion of the HRA property that is owned by the
City to the HRA.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
I III.
.
I
POLICY I
. In July 2005 the HRA approved a Contract for Private Development
with Ryan to build a SuperTarget and Home Depot store at the
northwest corner of TH 77 and 66th Street.
On October 25, 2005 the City Council approved a two-lane
roundabout design for the new intersection at 66th Street and 17th
Avenue and a financing plan concept for proposed improvements that
would require a $4 million 429 Special Assessment Bond with the
developer paying 20% of the project costs.
The proposed improvement is consistent with Goal 4 of City's
Comprehensive Plan - Encourage and facilitate the preservation and
development of a transportation infrastructure that provides a high
degree of accessibility for destinations in and around Richfield.
The intersection project is consistent with the City's adopted Cedar
Avenue Corridor Redevelopment Concept Master Plan.
On June 13, 2006 the City Council approved the Agreement which
included the Special Assessment Agreement and the Option and
Right of First Refusal Agreement.
.
IA.
.
.
I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I
. Under the proposed City Agreement the City shall start construction
no later than March 1, 2007 and be completed no later than August 1,
2007, provided that Ryan closes on the HRA and City-owned property
no later than November 1, 2006.
. The amendment clarifies that the City can void the intersection
construction contract if the contractor does not perform by August 1,
2007 and have Ryan complete the intersection project.
. The proposed City Agreement imposes certain requirements on the
City in the event that it does not approve the ordinance authorizing
sale to the HRA and approve the final plat by the agreed dates. These
matters will require further discussions at the Council meeting.
I C. FINANCIAL I
· The intersection project depends on Council approval of a $4.5 million
429 Special Assessment Bond with the developer paying 20% of the
project costs and the community paying the balance. Other funding
for the intersection will be provided by the Metropolitan Airports
Commission (for right-of-way acquisition) and the City's Municipal
State Aid Street funds (gas tax revenues.)
I D. LEGAL
. The City's legal counsel and Ryan's attorney are continuing to
negotiate the amended Agreements, The final proposed Agreement
will be presented by the City Attorney at the Council meeting.
I IV.. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I
· Approve the proposed amendments to the City Agreement with added
provisions or modifications.
. Do not approve the proposed amendments.
. Delay consideration.

BUSINESS SUBSIDY
AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this _day of , 2006 by and
between THE HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY IN AND FOR THE CITY
OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA, a Minnesota public body corporate and politic (the "HRA"),
and RYAN COMPANIES US, INC., a Minnesota corporation (the "Developer").
Section 1 Business Subsidy Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement constitute the
"business subsidy agreement" for the purposes of the Business Subsidy Act.
(a) General Terms. The parties agree and represent to each other as follows:
(1) For the purpose of this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement which
are defined in the Contract for Private Development between the parties and dated as of July 27,
2005 (the "Contract") shall have the meanings given them in the Contract.
(2) The subsidy provided to the Developer consists of (i) the sum of financing
provided by the Authority and City in the form of the Note, and (ii) conveyance of a portion
of the HRA Property by the Authority to Developer for less than fair market value. Each
disbursement, payment or waiver described in such Article represents a forgivable loan that
is repayable by the Developer in accordance with this Section. As of the date of this
Agreement, the aggregate business subsidy cannot be estimated with any degree of
certainty, however, in no event will the total amount of the business subsidy payable under
the Contract exceed $6,889,750 (in present value terms).
(3) The public purposes of the subsidy are to redevelop an area that has been
signifioantly impacted, and will continue to be impacted by airport operations on land
adjacent to the Development Property, establish a mixed commercial development that is
designed to be compatible with the impacts, and which will serve as a buffer to land uses to
the West of the Development Property and to implement the City's land use goals identified
in the comprehensive plan.
(4) The goals for the subsidy are: to secure completion of the Minimum
Improvements of the Development and the related Public Improvements by the Completion
Date for that Phase, and to operate the Minimum Improvements for at least five years as
described in clause (6) below.
(5) If the goals described in clause (4) are not met, the Developer or its
successors and assigns must make the payments to the Authority described in Section l(c).
(6) The subsidy is needed because the cost of land acquisition, demolition and
site clearance, does not make the development of the Minimum Improvements financially
feasible without public assistance, all as determined by the Authority and City.
1
f{-3
(7) The Developer and its successors and assigns must continue operation of the
Minimum Improvements for at least five years after the date of issuance of the Certificate of
Completion for the portion of the Minimum Improvements covered by the certification..
For the purpose of this Section, space will be considered to be maintained in operation if it is
leased, or available for lease, to any person or entity, or occupied by Developer for use in its
trade or business.
(8) The Developer does not have a parent corporation.
(9) The Developer has not received, and does not expect to receive, financial
assistance from any other "grantor" as defined in the Business Subsidy Act, in connection
with the Development Property or the Minimum Improvements.
(b) Job and Wage Goals. In accordance with Section 116J.994, subdivision 4, the
Authority has determined after a public hearing that the creation or retention of jobs is not the goal
of this redevelopment effort. Accordingly, the wage and job goals are set at zero.
(c) Remedies.
1. If the Developer fails to commence construction of the Minimum
hnprovements within the time provided in the Contract, the Developer shall repay the
Authority the full amount of the business subsidy as provided in subparagraph (a)(2) above..
2. If the Developer commences construction of the Minimum Improvements
within the time provided in Section 5.3 of the Contract, the amount of the business subsidy
will be reduced to $2,500,000.
3. If the Developer commences construction of the Minimum Improvements as
provided in Section 5.3 of the Contract, but fails to complete construction within the time
period provided in the Contract, the Developer shall repay the Authority $2,500,000.
4. If the failure of the Developer under either subparagraph 1,2 or 3 above
relates only to the Target Store, or only to the Home Depot Store, then the amount of
repayment due under such subparagraphs will be equal to 58.09% if the failure relates to the
Target Store and 41.91 % if the failure relates to the Home Depot Store multiplied by the full
amount of the Business Subsidy due under (c) 1, 2 or 3, as the case may be.
5. If the Developer commences and completes construction of the Minimum
hnprovements within the times provided in the Contract, the amount of the Business
Subsidy will be reduced to $1,000,000, which is allocated as follows: $580,900 to the
Target Store and $419,100 to the Home Depot Store. If only the Target Store is commenced
and completed within the times provided in the Contract, then the amount of the Business
Subsidy under this Agreement relating to the Target Store shall be reduced to $580,900. If
only the Home Depot Store is commenced and completed within the times provided in the
Contract, then the amount of the Business Subsidy under this Agreement relating to the
Home Depot Store shall be reduced to $419,100.

J J- i
6. If the Developer commences and completes construction of the Minimum
Improvements within the times provided in the Contract, but the Target Store and/or the
Home Depot Store are not operated for at least five years after the date of issuance of its
Certificate of Completion, then the Developer shall repay the Authority a portion of the
Business Subsidy determined as follows: (i) if such failure to operate for such five years
relates to the Target Store, then the amount that shall be repaid to the Authority shall equal
$580,900 multiplied by the number of days remaining in such five year period and divided
by 1,825 which represents the number of days in the five year period and (ii) if such failure
to operate for such five years relates to the Home Depot Store, then the amount that shall be
repaid to the Authority shall equal $419,100 multiplied by the number of days remaining in
such five year period and divided by 1,825 which represents the number of days in the five
year period.
Any demand for repayment must be in writing and is subject to the cure provisions of the
Contract. Payment shall also include interest at the implicit price deflator as defined in Minnesota
Statutes, Section 275.50, subd. 2, accrued from the Closing Date to the date of payment.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit the Authority's remedies under Article X
of the Contract in the event of a violation of any other provision of the Contract, but the remedies
set forth in this paragraph (c) are the exclusive remedies for failure to comply with the terms of this
Agreement. In addition to the exclusive remedy described in this Section, the Developer agrees and
understands that it may not a receive a business subsidy from the Authority or any grantor (as
defined in the Business Subsidy Act) for a period of five years from the date of the failure or until
the Developer satisfies its repayment obligation under this Section, whichever occurs first.
(d) Reports. The Developer must submit to the Authority a written report regarding
business subsidy goals and results by no later than March 1 of each year, commencing March 1,
200_ and continuing until the later of (i) the date the goals stated Section l(a)(4) are met; (ii) 30
days after expiration of the five-year period described in Section l(a)(7); or (iii) if the goals are not
met, the date the subsidy is repaid in accordance with Section l(c). The report must comply with
Section 116J.994, subdivision 7 of the Business Subsidy Act. The Authority will provide
information to the Developer regarding the required forms. If the Developer fails to timely file any
report required under this Section, the Authority will mail by certified mail return receipt requested
to the Developer at the address set forth in Section 11.7 of the Contract a warning within one week
after the required filing date. If, after 30 days after receipt of the warning, the Developer fails to
provide a report, the Developer must pay to the Authority a penalty of $100 for each subsequent day
until the report is filed. Failure by the Authority to deliver a timely warning notice will not relieve
the :Qeveloper's obligation to pay a penalty within 30 days after receipt of a notice to pay. The
maximum aggregate penalty payable under this Section is $1,000.

to the West of the Development Property and to implement the City's land use goals
identified in the comprehensive plan.
2.1.4 The goals for the subsidy are: to secure completion of the Minimum
Improvements of the Development and the related Public Improvements by the
Completion Date for that Phase, and to operate the Minimum Improvements for at least
five years as described in clause (6) below.
2.1.5 If the goals described in clause (4) are not met, the Developer or its
successors and assigns must make the payments to the Authority described in Section
1 (d).

feasible without public assistance, all as determined by the Authority and City.
1
I L-~
2.1.7 The Developer and its successors and assigns must continue operation of
the Minimum Improvements for at least five years after the date of issuance of the

BRA dated ,2006 (the "Developer Business Subsidy Agreement").

2.2 Job and Wage Goals. In accordance with Section 116J.994, subdivision 4, the
Authority has determined after a public hearing that the creation or retention of jobs is not the
goal of this redevelopment effort. Accordingly, the wage and job goals are set at zero.
2.3 Assignment and Assumption. The Developer has assigned all of its obligations
under the Ryan Business Subsidy Agreement relating to the Target Minimum Improvements as
provided in this Agreement to Target and Target has agreed to undertake and perform the
obligations set forth in this Agreement.
2.4 Remedies.
(a) Since the Developer has commenced construction of the Target Minimum
Improvements within the time provided in Section 5.3 of the Contract, the amount of the
Business Subsidy allocated to the Target Minimum Improvements is reduced from a
maximum of $4,002,255 to $1,452,250.
(b) If the Developer fails to complete construction of the Target Minimum
Improvements within the time period provided in Section 5.3 of the Contract, then Target
shall repay the Authority the amount of $1,452,250.
(c) If the Target Minimum Improvements are commenced and completed
within the times provided in Section 5.3 of the Contract, the amount of the Business
Subsidy allocated to the Target Minimum Improvements will be reduced from
$1,452,250 to $580,900.
(d) If the Target Minimum Improvements are commenced and completed
within the times provided in Section 5.3 of the Contract, but the Target Store is not
operated for at least five years after the date of issuance of its Certificate of Completion
for the Target Store, then Target shall repay the Authority a portion of the Business
2
( ~-5
.
Subsidy allocated to the Target Minimum Improvements equal to $580,900 multiplied by
the number of days remaining in such five year period and divided by 1,825 which
represents the number of days in the five year period.
Any demand for repayment must be in writing and is subject to the cure provisions of the
Contract. Payment shall also include interest at the implicit price deflator as defined in Minnesota
Statutes, Section 275.50, subd. 2, accrued from the Closing Date to the date of payment.
The remedies set forth in this paragraph (d) are the exclusive remedies for failure to comply
with the terms of this Agreement. In addition to the exclusive remedy described in this Section,
Target agrees and understands that it may not a receive a business subsidy from the Authority or any
grantor (as defined in the Business Subsidy Act) for a period offive years from the date ofthe
failure or until Target satisfies its repayment obligation under this Section, whichever occurs first.
2.5 Reports. Target must submit to the Authority a written report regarding business
subsidy goals and results by no later than March 1 of each year, commencing March I, 2008 and
continuing until the later of (i) the date the goals stated Section l(a)(4) are met; (ii) 30 days after
expiration of the five-year period described in Section l(a)(7); or (iii) if the goals are not met, the
date the subsidy is repaid in accordance with Section 1 (d). The report must comply with Section

a warning within one week after the
required filing date. If, after 30 days after receipt of the warning, Target fails to provide a report,
Target must pay to the Authority a penalty of $100 for each subsequent day until the report is
filed. Failure by the Authority to deliver a timely warning notice will not relieve Target's
obligation to pay a penalty within 30 days after receipt of a notice to pay. The maximum
aggregate penalty payable under this Section is $1,000.
2.6 Release. The City hereby agrees that the Developer is released of all liability
under the Developer Business Subsidy Agreement to the extent of Target's obligations under this
Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the Authority's remedies against
the Developer under Article X of the Contract in the event of a violation of any other provision of
the Contract.

as of July 27, 2005 (the "Contract") shall have the meanings given them in the Contract.

consists of (i) the sum of financing provided by the Authority and City in the form of the
Note, and (ii) conveyance of a portion of the HRA Property by the Authority to
Developer for less than fair market value. Each disbursement, payment or waiver
described in such Article represents a forgivable loan that is repayable by the Developer
in accordance with this Section. As of the date of this Agreement, the aggregate business
subsidy cannot be estimated with any degree of certainty, however, in no event will the
total amount of the business subsidy payable under the Contract exceed $6,889,750 (in
present value terms).

significantly impacted, and will continue to be impacted by airport operations on land

designed to be compatible with the impacts, and which will serve as a buffer to land uses
to the West of the Development Property and to implement the City's land use goals
identified in the comprehensive plan.
1.1.4 The goals for the subsidy are: to secure completion of the Minimum
Improvements of the Development and the related Public Improvements by the
Completion Date for that Phase, and to operate the Minimum Improvements for at least
five years as described in clause (6) below.
1.1.5 If the goals described in clause (4) are not met, the Developer or its
successors and assigns must make the payments to the Authority described in Section
l(d).

site clearance, does not make the development of the Minimum Improvements financially
feasible without public assistance, all as determined by the Authority and City.

assistance from any other "grantor" as defined in the Business Subsidy Act, in connection

under the Ryan Business Subsidy Agreement relating to the Home Depot Minimum
Improvements as provided in this Agreement to Home Depot and Home Depot has agreed to
undertake and perform the obligations set forth in this Agreement.
1.4 Remedies.
(a) Since the Developer has commenced construction of the Home Depot

amount of the Business Subsidy allocated to the Home Depot Minimum Improvements is
reduced from a maximum of $2,887,494 to $1,047,750.
(b) If the Developer fails to complete construction of the Home Depot
Minimum Improvements within the time period provided in Section 5.3 of the Contract,
then Home Depot shall repay the Authority the amount of $1,047,750.
( c) If the Home Depot Minimum Improvements are commenced and
completed within the times provided in Section 5.3 of the Contract, the amount of the
Business Subsidy allocated to the Home Depot Minimum Improvements will be reduced
from $1,047,750 to $419,100.
(d) If the Home Depot Minimum Improvements are commenced and
completed within the times provided in Section 5.3 of the Contract, but the Home Depot
Store is not operated for at least five years after the date of issuance of its Certificate of

( ~-/O
portion of the Business Subsidy allocated to the Home Depot Minimum Improvements
equal to $419,100 multiplied by the number of days remaining in such five year period

Contract. Payment shall also include interest at the implicit price deflator as defined in Minnesota

warning, Home Depot fails to provide a report, Home Depot must pay to the Authority a penalty
of $100 for each subsequent day until the report is filed. Failure by the Authority to deliver a
timely warning notice will not relieve Home Depot's obligation to pay a penalty within 30 days

$1,000.
1.6 Release. The City hereby agrees that the Developer is released of all liability
under the Developer Business Subsidy Agreement to the extent of Home Depot's obligations

NAME, TITLE
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of a Resolution authorizing just compensation and acquisition of four residential
properties at 6600 17th Avenue, 6601 16th Avenue, 1614 East 66th Street, and 1620 East
66th Street, for new 17th Avenue roundabout.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve the attached Resolution establishing just
compensation and authorizing the purchase of 6600 17th Avenue,
660116th Avenue, 1614 East 66th Street, and 1620 East 66th Street,
for new 17th Avenue roundabout.
BACKGROUND I
. The four single family, residential properties located at 6600 17th Avenue,
6601 16th Avenue, 1614 East 66th Street, and 1620 East 66th Street are
necessary acquisitions to accommodate the new 17th Avenue intersection
bus pull-outs.
. The acquisition and relocation expenses associated with these properties will
be funded using the 429 Special Assessment Bonds. The interim fund
source would be the Capital Improvement Reserve Fund.
I II.
062706 JustComp17thAve
.
.
.
There is a need to proceed with these purchases now to make the property
available in a timely manner. Ryan will be utilizing the residual land from the
two properties on the north side of 66th Street.
All of the various agreements with Ryan have not yet been executed. They
are not as fully committed to the project as is intended. Thus there is some
risk with the City, advancing the purchase of these four properties. The risk
with these four properties is not greater than the risk already assumed for the
four properties on the east side of 17th Avenue, south of 66th Street. The
City would need to carry the debt for longer than anticipated should Ryan not
proceed as planned.
In 2005, the City Council gave approval to BCl Appraisals, Inc. to undertake
appraisal reports and Conworth Inc., (now SRF Consulting Inc.) for
acquisition/relocation services. However, offers could not be made until the
project had greater certainty.
Appraisal reports were completed in October, 2005 and recently updated.
The fair market value for the properties did not change.
It is recommended that just compensation be set as indicated and acquisition
be .authorized. The appraised values are:
.
.
.
.
6600 - 17th Avenue
6601 - 16th Avenue
1614 East 66th Street
1620 East 66th Street
$250,000
$200,000
$211,000
$224,000
.
The property owners may also be eligible for relocation benefits. The
relocation benefits will be calculated separately in accordance with the
Uniform Relocation Act.
I III.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I
I A. POLICY I
. In July 2005, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) approved a
Contract for Private Development with Ryan Companies US, Inc. to build a
retail development in the Cedar Point project area.
. On October 25, 2005 the City Council approved a two-lane roundabout
design for the new intersection at 66th Street and 17th Avenue and a
financing plan concept for proposed improvements that would require a 429
Special Assessment Bond with the developer paying 20% of the project
costs.
. Uniform acquisition procedures will be followed.
I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I
. SRF Consulting, Inc. will present a purchase offer to the property owners
upon the City Council's approval of just compensation.
.
.
.
I C. FINANCIAL I
. A Special Assessment 429 Bond will provide permanent financing for the
road improvement.
. The interim funding source is Capital Improvement Reserve Fund.

1. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Adopt the attached resolution approving the Maintenance
Agreement with Ryan Companies US, Inc. for the public
improvements associated with the 66th Street and 17th Avenue
intersection ro'ect
I II. BACKGROUND I
On May 16, 2005 the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA)
approved a Contract for Private Redevelopment (Contract) with Ryan Companies
US, Inc. (Ryan) for the redevelopment of the Cedar Point area. On June 13, 2006
the City Council approved a Public Improvements and Special Assessment
Agreement (Public Improvements Agreement) in which the City agreed to construct
and/or install certain landscape plantings, irrigation systems and special retaining
wall treatments within the Intersection Project. The Public Improvements
Agreement also stated that the City would establish a special service district that will
provide for payment of the maintenance, repair, replacement and restoration of the
public improvements.
062706 - Maintenance Agreement Cedar Point

I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I
I A. POLICY I

repair, replacement and restoration of the public improvements.
. It is an ongoing policy that private developers pay for the maintenance
of public improvements that exceed the City's standard improvements.

at its sole cost and expense, for the routine maintenance, repair,
replacement and restoration of the public improvements.
. Ryan is not responsible for the repair or replacement of damage to the
public improvements as a result of vehicle driver neglect, city street
maintenance, vandalism or defective installation, which shall be the
responsibility of the City.
. Exhibit B of this Maintenance Agreement will set forth Ryan's
performance standards for the routine maintenance, repair,
replacement and restoration of the public improvements. (Both Exhibit
A and B will be presented to the Council for approval when they are
formulated.)
. In addition to the Maintenance Agreement, Ryan has agreed to install,
at its expense, and thereafter to maintain, repair, replace and restore,
all at its cost and expense the landscape and other improvements
located between the curb line and the right-of-way on Cedar Point
Commons.
. The Agreement shall terminate upon the effective date of the special
service district.
I C. FINANCIAL I
. The Citywill maintain standard insurance coverage on the public
improvements, and any and all proceeds from such coverage, to the
extent they are available, will be used to offset repair costs which are
not the sole responsibility of Ryan.
I D. LEGAL I
. The City's legal counsel and Ryan's attorney have prepared the
attached Agreement.
I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I
. Approve the proposed Agreement with added provisions or modifications.
. Do not approve the proposed Agreement.

By Motion:
1. Reconsider and approve the modifications to the transitory

properties located in the Cedar Point Commons project.
2. Reconsider and approve the modifications to the resolution for the

062706 Cedar Point PUD Resolution Revision
I II. BACKGROUND I
On June 13th the City Council approved the Cedar Point Commons project. As part
of the approval process, a transitory ordinance and resolution approving the
planned unit development, rezoning, final development plans, and conditional use,
was approved for Ryan Companies US, Inc. (Ryan). Since the approvals on the
13th, Ryan has requested modifications be made to the transitory ordinance and
resolution approving the rezoning, planned unit development, final development
plan, and conditional use permit.
In the transitory ordinance for rezoning and planned unit development the requested
modifications include a description of the properties that are to be rezoned to PC-2
(planned general commercial). The description of the properties can be found in
Section 2 and 3 of the transitory ordinance for planned unit development and
rezoning. This was done to clarify the areas of the development to be rezoned.
Also Section 4 of the transitory ordinance was revised to include a modification to
make the rezoning of the properties effective thirty days after the transitory
ordinance has been published. A second alternative was deleted.
The modifications made to the resolution for the final development plan and
conditional use permit includes the addition of a new number 5 under the heading of
"Before Issuance of Occupancy permit(s)" near the end. Number 5 clarifies the final
development plan and conditional use will not become effective until the rezoning of
the properties is complete.
The change made to the "ongoing conditions and requirements" section of the
resolution addresses the requested language change for the condition regarding
shopping carts. Originally the condition stated that, "Shopping carts have to have a
wheel-locking device". The condition was amended by Council to read, "Property
owner and tenants are responsible for ensuring all appropriate and reasonable
measures are taken so that shopping carts will stay on the property. "
I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I

. Any modifications made to the transitory ordinance or resolution requires
City Council approval.

I D. LEGAL I
. Legal counsel revised the proposed modifications to the transitory
ordinance and resolution.
. The two matters related to rezoning, the final development plan and
conditional use permit require a simple majority vote.
. The matter related to summary publication requires a unanimous vote.
I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I
. Approve the modifications to the transitory ordinance and resolution with
additional conditions.
. Deny the modifications to the transitory ordinance and resolution with a
finding that the proposed changes would have a negative impact on
surrounding properties or the City as a whole.
. Delay approval of the modifications.

AMENDMENT TO SECTION APPENDIX 1
OF THE ORDINANCE CODE OF THE
CITY OF RICHFIELD
(Cedar Point Commons Planned Unit Development Plan and Rezoning)
THE CITY OF RICHFIELD DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1. Findings of Fact. The City Council hereby makes the following findings of
fa ct:
A. The City's zoning ordinance establishes zoning classifications for
individual property. The property located in the Cedar Point area,
specifically between 63rd and 66th Streets and 17th Avenue and
Trunk Highway 77 (TH 77) is zoned R (Single Family Residential),
and C-2 (General Commercial), and I (Industrial) [the "subject area"].
B. Ryan Companies US, Inc. has submitted an application to the City for
a planned unit development plan [the "PUD plan"] in the subject area.
The PUD plan proposes to construct 370,000 square feet of
commercial space and 1,527 parking stalls.
C. The City has reviewed the zoning ordinance and determined that it
would be appropriate to rezone the subject area as PC-2 (planned
general commercial) and approve the PUD plan to establish the
regulations governing the PC-2 district.
D. The Planning Commission has conducted a public hearing
concerning the PUD plan and amending the zoning ordinance in the
subject area. The Planning Commission recommended approval of
the PUD plan and zoning ordinance amendment on April 24, 2006
following a public hearing. The City Council held first reading of the
rezoning on May 9, 2006 and a public hearing on the PUD plan
amendment and rezoning on June 13, 2006.
E. The City's zoning ordinance provides criteria for approving a PUD
plan and rezoning of property to a planned unit development. The
City Council finds that the PUD plan and rezoning of property in the
subject area meets the criteria in the following ways:
1. The proposed development conforms with the goals and objectives of the City's
Comprehensive Development Plan and any applicable redevelopment plans:
a) The project area is designated Regional
Commercial/Office and the proposed development is
consistent with this designation.
b) An objective of the Comprehensive Plan is to
"advocate and support with municipal investment a
high quality visual environment throughout the City
and particularly along major transportation corridors."
I Co - d...
The PUD plan and rezoning are consistent with this
objective.
c) The PUD plan and rezoning are also consistent with
the following goal of the Comprehensive Plan:
"Provide an economic climate within Richfield that
will encourage the availability of quality goods,
services and employment opportunities for
residents."
d) The PUD plan and rezoning are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan goal to, "Promote diverse
development that will broaden the tax base while
reinforcing the residential character of Richfield," and
with its accompanying objective, "promote
development that can support itself and broaden the
tax base."
e) The PUD plan and rezoning are consistent with the
following Comprehensive Plan objective: "Promote
Richfield's locational advantage within the greater
metropolitan area."
f) The PUD plan and rezoning are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan objective to "address the
means to improve the visual quality throughout the
City, concentrating on design districts and
transportation corridors, beginning with land use
coordination."
g) The PUD plan and rezoning are consistent with the
description of the Cedar Avenue Corridor plan that
states as follows: "The intersection of East 66th
Street and Cedar Avenue would afford the
opportunity to attract a major regional commercial
use such as a regional retail center."
2. The proposed development is designed in such a manner as to form
a desirable and unified environment within its own boundaries: The
project is designed to create a commercial development setting for
Target and Home Depot and numerous other commercial tenants.
The buildings and site development are all part of one unified
development.
3. The development is in substantial conformity with the purpose and
intent of the original C-2 zoning district, and departures from the
original district regulations are justified by the design of the
development.
a) The building setbacks exceed the setbacks required
in the C-2 district, with the exception of the setback to
66th Street, which is 10 feet instead of 35 feet. The
reduced setback is in accord with the Cedar Avenue
Corridor Redevelopment Concept Master Plan goal
of creating a unique urban experience. The final
development plan contemplates smaller individual
buildings close to the street, which fulfills the design
goal of the Master Plan.
1~-3
b) With the exception of the tower element on the most
southerly building, the building height is lower than
the maximum height allowed in the C-2 district. The
tower element is only 10 feet higher and provides an
architectural feature and design element that adds
interest and balance to the building. The design
mimics elements from the nearby airport, allowing the
development to fit in with the surrounding
environment. The entire development is below the
maximum height required by Joint Airport Zoning
Board regulations.
c) The development provides greater parking area
setbacks than would apply in the C-2 district.
d) The development has slightly greater impervious
surface coverage than would be allowed under the C-
2 district, if no consideration is given to the off-site
ponding area that the developer will improve and
utilize. When the ponding area is included, the
development is slightly below the maximum
impervious surface coverage that would be allowed
in the C-2 district.
e) The development will include 1,527 parking stalls,
which is approximately 92 percent of the number of
stalls that would be required under the City's parking
standards. The reduction in parking stalls is
acceptable because of the transit-oriented nature of
the development. It is expected that many shoppers
and employees will use modes of transportation
other than cars. Shared parking and differences in
peak parking needs for the different businesses are
also expected to reduce the parking demand.
4. The development will not create an excessive burden on parks,
schools, streets, or other public facilities and utilities which serve or
are proposed to serve the development: Transportation
improvements are proposed to accommodate traffic from the
development and to improve existing traffic problems in the area at
66th Street and Trunk Highway 77. A regional stormwater pond is
being added to the development to accommodate this development
and future development south of 66th Street and 17th Avenue. With
the improvements, there are sufficient utilities to serve the
development.
5. The development will not have undue adverse impacts on neighboring
properties: Transportation improvements are proposed to
accommodate traffic from the development. Site features are
planned to minimize visual impacts from the development on
neighboring properties. The final development plan provides details
regarding landscaping and lighting, which are designed to minimize
the impacts of the development on neighboring properties.
1(, -~'
6. The terms and conditions proposed to maintain the integrity of the
plan are sufficient to protect the public interests: A final development
plan, which establishes the terms and conditions of the development,
is required before construction can commence. The EAW was
determined to be adequate by the City Council on March 28, 2006.
Section 2. Appendix 1 of the zoning ordinance code of the City of Richfield entitled
"Richfield Zoning Code: Boundaries of Zoning Districts" is hereby amended:
A. Section 1, Paragraph (7) is repealed.
B. Section 1, Paragraph (8) is repealed.
C. Section 3, Paragraph (42) is repealed.
D. Section 3, Paragraph (52) is repealed.

and Block 5 of Iverson's Third Addition extended to the center line of

lighting will meet City ordinance requirements for less than O.5-foot
candles at any residential property line. One hour after store closings,
only safety lighting will remain on.
B. The development will include 1,521 parking stalls, which is approximately
92 percent of the number of stalls that would be required under the City's
parking standards. The reduction in parking stalls is acceptable because
of the transit-oriented nature of the development. It is expected that

It, - :8
Shade trees will be planted along the perimeter every 30 feet as required
by code. The development will include approximately 462 trees, where
the code requires only 329 trees. The east side of 1 in Avenue has a 27-
foot wide berm that will be planted with multiple layers of over-story and
ornamental trees and shrubs from 65th Street to 64th Street to separate
the parking from the street and minimize the intrusion of headlights into
the neighborhood. From 64th Street to 63rd Street the berm will turn to a
heavily landscaped edge with evergreen shrubs for year-round screening.
E. Trash will be accommodated inside the truck wells of Home Depot and
SuperTarget. Trash will be accommodated inside the buildings for all
other buildings.

and treat stormwater runoff for 130 acres, including the 3D-acre Cedar
Point Commons development as well as future runoff from the west of
17th Avenue and portions to the south of 66th Street in the Cedar Avenue
Corridor. The stormwater design takes advantage of the soil conditions
that will allow infiltration of stormwater. The majority of the storm sewer
will be perforated pipe to allow water to be dispersed throughout the site
as the water flows to the pond. The developer has also included a water
infiltration landscape area in the parking lot between SuperTarget and
Home Depot as a way to reduce stormwater runoff.
WHEREAS, the commercial use will not have undue adverse impacts on
governmental facilities, utilities, services, or existing or proposed improvements: There are
adequate facilities, utilities and services to support the development. With the proposed
improvements as identified in the Environmental Assessment Worksheet, there will be
adequate roadways to serve the development; and
WHEREAS, the commercial use will not have undue adverse impacts on the public
health, safety, or welfare:
A. The development is designed to be pedestrian-friendly and transit-
oriented, and planned traffic improvements will accommodate additional
traffic generated by the development.
B. The development includes a screen wall approximately 800 feet in length

Home Depot and SuperTarget. Complementary plantings will blend with
the screen wall and architectural facades.
/" - '7
C. The development includes significant landscaping to provide a buffer and
screening from residential development to the west.
D. The developer has consulted with a noise consultant to mitigate the noise
impacts on the development caused by the neighboring airport. The
developer has incorporated several features into its development in order

airport; locating the majority of doors to face north, south and west, away
from the airport; limiting the number of windows facing east - only.02%
of all the building facades is comprised of windows; and using building
materials (other than windows) that reduce noise levels so as to meet
applicable noise standards; and
WHEREAS, there is a public need for such use at the proposed location; the
Comprehensive Plan description of the Cedar Avenue Corridor plan states as follows: "The
intersection of East 66th Street and Cedar Avenue affords the opportunity to attract a
major regional commercial use such as a regional retail center;" and
WHEREAS, the commercial use meets or will meet all the specific conditions set by
this code for the granting of a final development plan and conditional use permit; and
WHEREAS, the City has fully considered the request for approval of the final
development plan and conditional use permit; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
