This property is . located in a Business Park zoning district, which does not permit the proposed automobile dealership use by Luther. Luther has applied to the City to approve planned unit development overlay zoning ("PUD Zoning") for this site that would permit the automobile dealership use subject to the terms and conditions approved and imposed by the City. Luther has also applied for a Conditional Use Permit allowing it to construct the approximately 88,000 square foot automobile dealership facility (the "Project"). The PUD Agreement spells out the terms and conditions imposed by the City as a condition of approval of the PUD Zoning and the Conditional Use Permit. The substantive terms and conditions stated in the PUD Agreementare listed below: 1. Paragraphs 2 ,and 3 of the PUD Agreement require Luther to complete all of the demolition, grading, drainage improvements, erosion control, landscaping, utility and roadway construction described in the approved plans for the Project. The plans are listed at the end of Paragraph 3 of the PUD Agreement and will be submitted to and approved by the City. 2. Paragraph 4 of the PUD Agreement specifically addresses the following road improvements that are to be completed at Luther's expense: a. Under Paragraph 4.A., Luther is to complete all of the work required to construct the access drive crossing from the west entrance of the Project over the adjacent Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority ("HCRRA") right of way and City -owned property and connecting to Hennepin County Road No.3. Paragraph 12.1. of the PUD Agreement, summarized in Paragraph 6 of this Memo, also details certain requirements that are applicable to construction . of this access road. b Paragraph 4.B. of the PUD Agreement requires Luther to complete all of the intersection improvements for the connection ofthe west access road to Hennepin County Road No.3, in c:Hopciv\Memo.Kerrigan - 1 - c~ compliance with the Traffic Study and Technical Memorandum prepared by Short Elliot . Hendrickson, Inc. ("SEH"). In addition, Paragraph 4.B. gives the City the right to require Luther to 'complete the northbound _and southbound right turn lanes at Fifth Avenue and Hennepin County Road No.3, as depicted in the SEH Traffic Study and Technical Memorandum, by notice given at any time on or before December 31, 2007. If, on or before that date, the City notifies Luther ofthe City's determination that construction of either or both of these right turn lanes is required,Luther has agreed to proceed with construction of the right turn lane improvements during the next construction season. 3. Paragraphs 5-11 of the pun Agreement contain the standard development agreement provisions related to procedures for completion of construction of the improvements described in Paragraphs 3 and 4 of the PUD Agreement by Luther. 4. Paragraph 12.A. ofthe PUD Agreement specifies that the intent of and permitted uses under the PUD Zoning for the Knox site are those described in the "Development Design Standards" in Exhibit B to the PUD Agreement. The City Council's approval of the PUD Zoning and the PUD Agreement permit Luther to 'construct and operate the automobile dealership Project only in accordance with the Development Design Standards described in Exhibit B. Generally, those standards will allow the construction and operation of a new car dealership, with used car sales as an accessory use, together with the other related uses listed in Paragraph II of Exhibit B. Paragraph III of Exhibit B lists the Design Standards for the automobile dealership building that must be complied with by Luther. 5. _ Paragraph 12.H. of the PUD Agreement requires Luther to grant the City permanent easements for all . public streets, drainage and utility improvements located on the Project site. 6. Paragraph' 12.1. contains the terms and conditions for completion of the west access road ("Access Road") connecting the Project to Hennepin County Road No.3. It provides the City will acquire an easement from and enter into an Easement Agreement with the HCRRA permitting the Access Road to be completed across the HCRRA right of way on the north side of the Project. Similarly to the CUP Agreement between the City and Edco Products, this paragraph requires Luther to perform all of the City's obligations under the Easement Agreement to be entered into with the HCRRA and to indemnify the City from all costs, damages, liabilities and attorney's fees related to acquisition of the Easement and construction of the Access Road over the HCRRA right of way. Paragraph 12.1. also provides that the City will dedicate a public street for the Access Road between the north boundary line of the HCRRA right of way and the south right-of-way line of Hennepin County Road No.3. However, Luther is obligated to design, construct and complete the Access Road and all related grading, landscaping, roadway and utility improvements. When the Access Road has been completed, the City will assume responsibility for maintenance of that part of the Access Road located within the public street established across the City-owned property. Luther will be solely responsible for maintenance of the Access Road between its property line and the north line of the HCRRA right of way. 7. Paragraph 12.J. prohibits Luther from obstructing access from the Access Road across the Project to Fifth A venue South unless Luther constructs a paved turnaround area on its property immediately south ofthe Access Road large enough to permit snow plows and emergency vehicles to turn around. - Finally, . Paragraph 12.J. also allows the City to require Luther to construct a gate across the Access Road north ofthe HCRRA right of way restricting traffic during non-business hours for the automobile dealership. ------------- -~c:Hopciv\Menio.Kerrigan-------h-----------c ---~-------- -------------'-----------2--- ------ ..-----.:..---------- -- - ------------------ ---- -- --- - ----- ---- -- - -. --- -..-------,---- -- 8.
