Council Report 2003-124
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AGREEMENT - EDCO
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to authorize the execution of the
Conditional Use Permit Aareement between the EDCO and the City of Hopkins as it
relates to the issuance of a conditional use permit to construct an addition to the existina
buildina at 900 Second Stree N.E.
Overview
With this motion the Council would authorize the execution a Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
Agreement with EDCO in conjunction with a conditional use permit, if issued, for the expansion
of EDCO's building at 900 Second Street N.E. The execution of a CUP Agreement would be a
condition of approval for the Conditional Use Permit as indicated in Council Report 2003-116.
In addition to the general conditions placed on the project by the City, the CUP Agreement
passes on to EDCO all of the responsibilities accepted by the City as part of the Easement
Agreement with the HCRRA. The Easement Agreement (Council Report 2003-123) details the
responsibilities of the City with regard to constructing and maintaining an emergency access
road on the HCRRA right-of~way adjacent to the EDCO property, which is necessary for
emergency vehicle access after the building is expanded.
City Attorney Jerry Steiner has negotiated and reviewed the attached CUP agreement with
EDCO in cooperation with City staff. Upon authorization, staff will gather the necessary
supporting documents/attachments as indicated in the CUP Agreement and continue to work
with the EDCO in executing the agreement.

MEMORANDUM
DATE:August 14,2003
TO:
The Hon. Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:
Jeremy Steiner
RE:
Edco Expansion Project
I am submitting this Memo at the request of City Staff to summarize certain of the terms and
conditions of the CUP Agreement for the Edco Products expansion project and the Easement
Agreement between the City and the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority ("HCRRA")
that will be entered into in order to permit construction of the Edco expansion project. The CUP
Agreement includes the usual provisions requiring Edco, as Developer, to complete all of the
improvements that are to be constructed for the expansion project as shown in the site plan,
landscaping plan, grading and drainage plan and utility plan that have been submitted to the City
and reviewed by City Staff. However, as a result ofthe variance allowing Edco to construct the
building addition with no setback along the southerly property line, an emergency vehicle access
drive ("Access Drive") and the stonn water management and drainage improvements ("Drainage
Facilities") must be constructed on the adjacent right-of-way property owned by the HCRRA. To
accomplish this, the City will enter into an Easement Agreement with the HCRRA allowing
construction of the Access Drive and Drainage Facilities on the HCRRA right of way. Under
Paragraphs 6.A. and 6.B.i ofthe CUP Agreement, Edco will agree to complete all of the Access
Drive improvements and the Drainage Facilities to be constructed on the HCRRA property under
the Easement Agreement and will also agree to hold the City harmless from liability to the
HCRRA under the Easement Agreement. The substantive provisions of the Easement
Agreement and Paragraph 6 of the CUP Agreement are summarized as follows:
1.
The Easement Agreement grants the City a non-exclusive easement over the northerly 25
feet of the HCRRA right of way for the purpose of constructing and maintaining the
Access Drive and the Drainage Facilities. Paragraph 12 of the Easement Agreement
provides the Easement will terminate ifthe Access Drive and the Drainage Facilities are
not completed within 180 days after the Easement Agreement is executed, subject to
extension for delays due to inclement weather or other circumstances beyond the control
of the party performing that work. Paragraph 2 of the Easement Agreement requires the
City to obtain prior approval from the HCRRA of the plans for construction of the Access
.
i' :;
't ;
.
Drive and Drainage Facilities. Paragraph 1 requires the City to relocate or modify the
Access Drive or Drainage Facilities upon 120 days' prior written notice from the
HCRRA in the event the HCRRA's use of its right of way is such that modification or
relocation ofthe Access Drive or Drainage Facilities is necessary. Paragraph 6 provides
that the City is obligated to indemnify, defend and hold the HCRRA harmless from "all
liability, loss, damage or expense" resulting from the use of the easement for the Access
Drive and Drainage Facilities. Paragraph 11 ofthe Easement Agreement states the City
is entitled to enter into a separate agreement with the owner of the Edco property
"allowing the owner of the (Edco property) to use the easement for construction,
maintenance, repair and use of the Drainage Facilities and the (Access Drive) in
accordance with the terms of the Easement Agreement." By entering into the Easement
Agreement with the HCRRA, the City will assume all of these obligations to the
HCRRA.
2. Paragraphs 6.A. and B.i of the CUP Agreement, in turn, provide that Edco "agrees to
assume, perform and comply with all of the City's obligations under the Easement
Agreement, and to protect, indemnify and hold the City harmless from and against all
costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations, undertakings, claims and damages arising out of
or related to the Easement Agreement." Paragraphs 6.A. and 6.B.i further obligate Edco
to complete the Access Drive and Drainage Facilities according to the City's
requirements and the terms of the Easement Agreement and to bear all costs for future
maintenance and repair of the Access Drive and Drainage Facilities. The intent of these
provisions is that Edco will assume full responsibility for all ofthe City's obligations to
the HCRRA under the Easement Agreement and will indemnify the City from any
liability to the HCRRA that would arise under the Easement Agreement. Paragraph 15 of
the CUP Agreement also specifically provides "the City shall be entitled to levy a special
assessment against the (Edco) property. . . in accordance with Minn. Stat. Chapter 429"
in the event the City incurs any liability under the Easement Agreement and Edco fails to
indemnify the City from that liability. While the City will assume meaningful liability
exposure by entering into the Easement Agreement with the HCRRA, the provisions of
Paragraphs 6.A. and B.i. of the CUP Agreement will provide the City with protection
from this liability to the extent Edco and subsequent owners of the Edco property have
resources sufficient to honor the indemnity obligation to the City or the City is able to
recover liabilities that it incurs to the HCRRA by means of a special assessment levied
against the Edco property. In evaluating its approval of the Easement Agreement and
CUP Agreement, the City Council should consider whether the indemnity and special
assessment provisions of the CUP Agreement provide adequate protection from the
liabilities that will be assumed by the City under the Easement Agreement.
3. Paragraphs 6.B.ii and iii of the CUP Agreement also require Edco to obtain and dedicate
to the City certain easements that will be required for the purpose of managing stonn
water from the Edeo property and the adjacent property to the east owned by Living
Waters Church. These paragraphs require Edco to obtain and dedicate to the City a
drainage easement for stonn water impoundment in the southwest comer of the Living
.

.
Waters Church property and, also, to construct an underground storm sewer line
connecting to the public storm sewer in Second Street Northeast and to dedicate to the
City a 20 foot wide storm sewer easement centered on this new underground storm sewer
line to be constructed by Edco. All of the Drainage Facilities and improvements to be
constructed by Edco are to be completed in compliance with all applicable ordinances,
codes, rules and regulations of the City of Hopkins and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed
District.
4. Finally, Paragraph 9 of the CUP Agreement requires Edco to reimburse the City for all of
its out-of-pocket costs. Paragraph 14 requires Edco to provide the City with a letter of
credit or other acceptable form of security equal to the actual cost to complete the Access
Drive and Drainage Facilities for the purpose of securing Edco's agreement to complete
those improvements and facilities.
