10-1082rHRA RESOLUTION NO. 1082
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING GRANTING OF AN EASEMENT
OVER AND ACROSS REAL PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN
THE INTERSTATE-LYNDALE-NICOLLET (ILN) TAX INCREMENT DISTRICT
WHEREAS, The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is the owner of a
parcel and tract of land described in the attached Exhibit A the HRA Parcel; and
WHEREAS, the HRA Parcel lies entirely within the right-of-way of Emerson Avenue
South, a dedicated public road; and
WHEREAS, a portion of said roadway serves as a primary access to the parcels of
land located to the west and generally known as Meridian Crossings; and
WHEREAS, Meridian Crossings was developed pursuant to the Redevelopment
Plan for the ILN Tax Increment District; and
WHEREAS, the owner of Meridian Crossings have requested that the HRA grant it
anon-exclusive access easement over the portion of the HRA Parcel which serves as
access to Meridian Crossings; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the requirements of state law, the HRA has held a
public hearing on the request following proper notice; and
WHEREAS, the HRA has received public comments and the recommendation of
staff regarding the request;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority in and for the City of Richfield, Minnesota as follows:
1. The grant of a nonexclusive easement in substantially the form of the attached
Exhibit B is hereby approved.
2. The Board Chair and Executive Director are authorized to execute and deliver
the easement on behalf of the HRA, and to take such other actions as may be
reasonably necessary accomplish such direction.
3. Because it is substantially unlikely that the involved portion of Emerson Avenue
will ever be vacated, because of the nonexclusivity of the easement, because of
the location of utilities within the easement area, and because the property will
continue to be owned by the HRA, the HRA deems the fair market of the
easement to be $1.00.
4. The execution and delivery of the easement is conditioned upon the payment by
requester of the HRA's costs and expenses incurred in connection with this
matter. Execution and delivery will be deemed as conclusive evidence of the
satisfaction of this requirement.
Adopted by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of
Richfield, Minnesota this 15th day of November, 2010.
