The Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and Ryan Companies

June 30, 2006 the City Council, HRA and Ryan entered into an Escrow Agreement.
On July 25, 2006 the City Council approved the First Amendment to the Escrow
Agreement that included delivering the Note into escrow.
Under the original Escrow Agreement, Ryan was committed to acquire the Third
Party properties by September 30, 2006. To date, Ryan has closed on 19 of the 38
properties. Ryan will not be able to make the September 30th deadline. Therefore,
the proposed Second Amendment to the Escrow Agreement changes the
possession date to October 31, 2006. The date that HRA closes with Ryan on HRA
property is also changed to October 31, 2006.

ITEM FOR HRA CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of a Right-of-Entry Agreement for use of all of the Richfield Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) properties in the Cedar Point Commons area development by
Ryan Companies US, Inc
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve Right-of-Entry Agreement for use of all HRA
properties in the Cedar Point Commons area development by Ryan
Companies US, Inc. prior to conveyance dates of properties to same.
I II. BACKGROUND I
The Right-of-Entry Agreement is necessary so that Ryan Companies US, Inc. (Ryan)
can remain on schedule for the construction of Cedar Point Commons development by
entering property currently owned by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA)
and undertake site work. Properties within the Cedar Point Commons development
that are HRA-owned include 6300,6320,6500, and 6528 Cedar Avenue.
The proposed Right of Entry, if approved, would include all properties owned by the
City and the HRA. The Right of Entry would allow Ryan to enter the properties prior to
closing in order to perform certain activities, including: removal of trees that are not
being preserved, demolition of certain structures, installation of private utilities and
abandonment or relocation of public utilities, grading of properties, and the
092506-Right of Entry Agreement
construction of certain trail and street improvemer.lts on Park property, near 63rd
Street. Ryan will work with the City to minimize the disruption of vehicular traffic on
any streets within the development that has not been vacated or closed for public
travel. (See Exhibit D of the Agreement).
By allowing Ryan to enter the City and HRA properties prior to closing, it is expected
that Ryan will avoid some construction costs that the HRA might otherwise be required
to reimburse to Ryan. (Under 'n amendment to the development contract with Ryan,
the HRA has agreed to reimburse upto $500,000 in additional construction costs that
are incurred as a result of the 21-day delay in obtaining the Metropolitan Airport
Commission's approval of certain restrictions.) However, if the closing does not occur
due to a default by either the City or HRA, then the Right of Entry Agreement obligates
the City to reimburse Ryan for the utility work and the street and trail work, and it
obligates the HRA to reimburse Ryan for other work that Ryan has performed. The
City Council has approved all of the actions necessary for the City to close, and it is
not expected that there will be a City default. The potential for default by the HRA
would be the failure of certain occupants to vacate the premises under the timeline
required by court orders.
The proposed Right-of-Entry Agreement will also require that Ryan receive approval
from the City Council in order to have access to City properties within the Cedar Point
Commons area. Consideration of approval of the Right-of-Entry Agreement for the
City properties will be heard at the City Council meeting on September 26,2006.
I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I
I A. POLICY I
. The HRA on March 20, 2006 approved the Cedar Point Concept Plan,
which would require the vacation of public streets and relocation of
utilities.
I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I
. 6300 and 6320 Cedar Avenue (Air-Care-Go) is allowed to remain at this
location per their purchase agreement with the HRA until September 30,
2006.
. 6500 Cedar Avenue (Magnuson Sod and Landscaping), is allowed to
remain at this location per their purchase agreement with the HRA until
September 30,2006.
. 6528 Cedar Avenue (former apartment building) site is cleared.
. Ryan will not receive access to the City properties until the Right-of-Entry
Agreement has been approved by the City Council on September 26,
2006.
. 1614 East 66th Street is occupied and the resident is allowed to remain
at this location per the purchase agreement with the City until October
26, 2006. The property at 1620 East 66th Street is vacant and owned by
the City. Access to 1614 East 66th Street will be in cooperation with the
occupant.
. The Right-of-Entry Agreement is necessary so that Ryan may enter HRA
and City owned property to undertake construction work prior to the
conveyance of the property to Ryan and help them stay on schedule.
The Right-of-Entry Agreement is attached for reference.
Ie. FmANC~ I
. The HRA is obligated to reimburse Ryan for certain costs if the closing
does not occur, due to a default by the City or HRA. The risk of default
by either the City or HRA is not considered to be substantial.
. It is expected that the Right of Entry may reduce potential construction
costs that niight otherwise be charged to the HRA.
I D. LEGAL I
. Legal counsel drafted the attached Right-of-Entry Agreement.
I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I
. Do not approve the Right-of-Entry Agreement.

asbestos materials, lead, etc.), legal counsel and staff have determined that

including the environmental audit work and hazardous materials abatement
work.
. The HRA would pay the Developer's costs for these contracted items. The
costs are estimates only. The total contract amount would be a not to
exceed figure. Actual figures could be lower or higher. If higher, a revision
to the demolition contract would be required.
. A contract for the site clearance work will be prepared by legal counsel upon
HRA approval.
I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I
I A. POLICY I

Developer's estimates in accordance with purchasing and spending authority
policies.
I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I
. The site will be available soon and ready for clearance activities.

. The Phase II Environmental Audit has since been completed by the
HRA.
. Hazardous materials abatement work only applies to building
materials, not soils.
