Hopkins Apartments (Former Hopkins Cinema 6) Rezoning
Proposed Action: Staff recommends the City Council approve the following motions:
•Move to adopt Resolution 2022-053 approving the second reading of Ordinance 2022-1183
rezoning the property at 1118 Mainstreet (PID 24-117-22-34-0249) from B-2, Central
Business District to B-2, Central Business District with a Planned Unit Development.
•Move to adopt Resolution 2022-057 approving the Hopkins Apartments Planned Unit
Development (PUD) Agreement and authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to enter into
this agreement, subject to any modification approved by the City Attorney.
Overview
Enclave Companies is proposing a redevelopment of the former Mann Theater located along
Mainstreet between 11th Avenue and 12th Avenue South. Initially referred to as Hopkins
Apartments, the development is now named Ovation Apartments. The applicant’s plans call for
a 4-story, 150-unit mixed use building with approximately 5,382 square feet of commercial
space. The first reading of the ordinance rezoning the site was held on August 1, 2022.
The site is currently guided Downtown Center by the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and zoned B-2,
Central Business District. As part of the necessary approvals, the applicant requests rezoning to
B-2, Central Business District with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow flexibility from
some of the B-2 zoning standards in exchange for a higher quality development. Since the first
reading, the developer has agreed to add rooftop solar as an additional exchange.
The applicant, Brian Bochman with Enclave Companies, requests approval of the second
reading of Ordinance 2022-1183 and approval of the PUD Agreement. A Business Subsidy
Agreement, Loan Agreement and Parking Agreement for use of the City’s municipal ramp will
also be considered by the HRA/City Council. Together, these agreements will finalize the
rezoning of this site and the public assistance committed to the development.

BACKGROUND
Development Proposal. The 1.88 acre subject property was originally platted as part of the
West Minneapolis Addition in 1887. The existing Hopkins Cinema 6 Movie Theatre was
constructed in 1995 as part of a redevelopment of this property which included the movie
theatre, three retail spaces and a 5,000 square foot casual dining restaurant. The movie theatre
property was owned by the Beard Group who leased it to the Mann Theatres Group. Prior to
1995, the site was occupied by the Suburban Chevrolet automobile dealership.
The Hopkins Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) purchased the subject property from
Suburban Chevrolet and sold it to the Beard Group in 1995 and executed a development
agreement with the developer (the Beard Group) which included both financial and site and
building design requirements for the project. The financial requirements created Tax Increment
District 1-2 encompassing the subject property which generated tax increment dollars to offset
public costs in conjunction with redeveloping the site. That TIF District obligation ended in 2020.
On November 20, 2020, Mann Theatre – Hopkins Cinema 6 permanently closed its business
due primarily to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the City reviewed a concept plan
related to redevelopment of the site brought forward by a different developer. Enclave
Companies recently secured an agreement to purchase the site, and is now seeking land use
approvals. The redevelopment would provide a residential mix of 67 alcove, 22 studio, 47 one-
bedroom, and 14 two-bedroom market rate apartments; and 5,382 square feet of commercial
space on the ground floor accessed from Mainstreet.
Review Process to Date
The City Council approved the first reading of this rezoning ordinance, along with the
corresponding site plan and conditional use permit, on August 1, 2022. Prior to that action, the
Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing to review these items and recommended
approval by the City Council on July 26, 2021. The Planning Commission’s recommendation
included a stipulation that the developer shall explore the addition of affordable housing and
sustainability certifications and/or features in support of the Planned Unit Development (PUD)
request. The applicant has revised their proposal to include rooftop solar panels in support of
the PUD request. It is anticipated that residential affordability would be tied to an increased
financial assistance request and staff recommends that it not be considered a PUD benefit.
Should the City Council approve the second reading of this ordinance and the planned unit
development agreement, it would rezone the subject property from B-2, Central Business
District to B-2, Central Business District with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and authorize
the Mayor and City Manager to enter into the PUD agreement.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
The purpose of a planned unit development is to allow flexibility from traditional development
standards in return for a higher quality development. Typically, the City looks for a developer to
exceed other zoning standards, building code requirements or meet other goals of the
Comprehensive Plan. In exchange for the flexibility offered by the planned unit development, the
applicant is expected to detail how they intend to provide a higher quality development or meet
other City goals.
The requested rezoning of the site from B-2, Central Business District to B-2, Central Business
District with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) would allow the applicant to deviate from some
of the zoning regulations as detailed in the table below. The applicant is seeking this flexibility
in exchange for the project delivering sustainability features including rooftop solar, electric
vehicle charging stations, pedestrian connection from 12th Avenue South to 11th Avenue South,
three pedestrian level art installations, and a building design that includes design and amenity
features above and beyond minimal underlying zoning requirements.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The development proposal is in conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan including the
following goals:
• Welcome growth to the city by directing most of new housing and employment to the
city’s mixed use centers and employment districts.
• Encourage all public and private developments to be well-designed, durable, human-
scaled and pedestrian oriented.
• Support the development of a safe, connected, accessible network of regional and local
bicycle and pedestrian facilities in Hopkins.
• Grow the supply of housing in Hopkins, particularly in targeted areas.
• Support the vision of a community where everyone has access to the resources and
opportunities needed to live healthy, active lives. (The site is very conducive to an active
lifestyle with a walk score of 90)
• Encourage sustainable practices in locating, designing, constructing and maintaining
development in the city.
• Support the development of a strong, vibrant, livable community that attracts jobs,
population and investment.
• Maintain a viable downtown core that serves as an economic and social center for the
community.
• Continue to grow Downtown’s population and jobs base.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Vote to approve the rezoning and planned unit development for 1118 Mainstreet.
2. Vote to deny the rezoning and planned unit development for 1118 Mainstreet. Should
the City Council consider this option, it must also identify specific findings that support this
alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council finds that further information is needed,
the items should be continued.

HOPKINS APARTMENTS
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made this ___
day of _______________, 2022, by and between the CITY OF HOPKINS, a Minnesota municipal
corporation, (the “City”), and Ovation Apartments, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (the

of Hopkins, Hennepin County, Minnesota, legally described as
(See Exhibit A)
(the “Property”).
B. The Developer has made application to the City for certain land use approvals to
facilitate the Property’s development for a four-story, mixed-use structure with 150 residential units

named Ovation Apartments (the “Development”).
C. To accommodate the Development, the City conditionally approved (i) a rezoning of

2.01. Private Improvements. The Developer shall construct and install, at the Developer's
expense, the proposed four-story, mixed-use structure with 150 residential units and approximately
5,382 square feet of commercial space (the “Private Improvements”), according to the following
terms and conditions:
A. Plans. The Developer shall construct the Private Improvements in accordance with
the City Approvals, including the approved Site Plan, and all associated construction plans and
documentation (the “Plans”) on or before June 30, 2024. The Plans are those that are on file with

HP145\88\815797.v6
2.04. Thirty Bales Improvements. It is contemplated that the existing structure on the Property,
known as the “Thirty Bales” building, will be improved as part of the Developer’s site
redevelopment. Said improvements to the Thirty Bales building shall not be performed or
constructed until the Developer submits plans regarding such improvements that are approved in
writing by City staff.
2.05. Intentionally Blank.
2.06. Permits. The Developer shall obtain any necessary permits from the Nine Mile Creek
Watershed District, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources, the Minnesota Department of Health, the Minnesota Department of
Transportation, and any other agency having jurisdiction over the Property before proceeding with
any construction related to the Development.
2.07. Intentionally Blank.
2.08. Stormwater Management Requirements. As part of the Private Improvements, the
Developer (or future owners/developers of the Property) shall be responsible for the construction,
operation, and maintenance of stormwater management facilities to achieve compliance with
applicable stormwater treatment requirements. If the Developer (or future owners/developers of
the Property) is required by the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District (“NMCWD”) to execute and
record against the Property an instrument in favor of NMCWD for stormwater facilities
constructed as part of the Private Improvements, then it shall do so in accordance with all NMCWD
requirements. The purpose of such instrument is to ensure that the Developer, and future
developers/owners of the Property, maintain all stormwater facilities serving the Property. The
Developer acknowledges that; (i) the City will not accept ownership of any such stormwater
facilities; and (ii) the City does not plan to maintain or pay for maintenance, repair or replacement
of such stormwater facilities and that the Developer will have responsibility for such work.
2.09. Financial Guarantee. As part of the Plans, the Developer has agreed to install private
landscaping/streetscaping on the Property (collectively, the “Secured Improvements”), which
requires financial security to ensure that they are completed with the other Private Improvements.
Prior to the issuance of any City-issued permits related to the Private Improvements, including,
but not limited to, building permits, the Developer agrees to deposit with the City the amount of
$_________________ (the “Escrow Deposit”), which represents 150 percent of the estimated cost
of the Secured Improvements. The Escrow Deposit shall be deposited with the City prior to
beginning any work on the Private Improvements. The City may draw upon the Escrow Deposit,
in whole or part, in order to complete construction of any or all of the Secured Improvements upon
the Developer’s uncured default and failure to complete such Secured Improvements in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the lapse of all notice and cure rights of
the Developer. The City may also draw upon the Escrow Deposit to pay any fees or costs owed
to the City under this Agreement and otherwise unpaid by the Developer upon the lapse of all
notice and cure rights of the Developer. It is the intention of the parties that the City at all times
have available to it an Escrow Deposit in an amount adequate to ensure completion of the Secured
Improvements and cost reimbursement to the City by the Developer as required under this
Agreement.
5
HP145\88\815797.v6
Upon the Developer’s failure to either complete the Secured Improvements, pay any fees
or costs owed to the City under this Agreement, or both, the City may draw on the Escrow Deposit
in order to satisfy such requirements but only after the Developer fails to cure its breach following
thirty (30) days’ written notice from the City. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the breach requires
more than thirty (30) days to cure, such breach shall not allow the City to draw on the Escrow
Deposit, provided that the curing of the breach is promptly commenced upon receipt of written
notice from the City, and with due diligence is thereafter continuously prosecuted to completion
and is completed in a reasonable period of time, not to exceed ninety (90) days. In the event that
the Escrow Deposit is found to be deficient in amount to pay or reimburse the City in total as
required herein, the Developer agrees that upon being billed by the City, it will pay within thirty
(30) days of the mailing of said billing, the said deficient amount. If there should be an overage
in the amount of the utilized Escrow Deposit, the City will, upon making said determination,
refund to the Developer any monies, without interest, which the City has in its possession which
are in excess of the actual costs owed to the City hereunder.
In the event the Developer files bankruptcy or in the event a bankruptcy proceeding is filed
against Developer by others and is not dismissed within 90 days, or in the event a court appoints a
receiver for the Developer, the City may draw on the Escrow Deposit in its full amount to secure
its surety position. The City shall then release the remainder of said Escrow Deposit to the
bankruptcy court or receiver in the same manner that it would be required to release the Escrow
Deposit under this Agreement.
When reasonably prudent, the Developer may request of the City that the Escrow Deposit
be proportionately reduced for portions of completed obligations herein. All such reductions shall
be in the sole discretion of the City. It is the intention of the parties that the City at all times have
available to it an Escrow Deposit in an amount adequate to ensure completion of all elements of
the Secured Improvements and the reimbursement of City costs required under this Agreement. To
that end and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all requests by the Developer for a
reduction or release of the Escrow Deposit shall be evaluated by the City in light of that principle.
The costs incurred by the City in processing any reduction request shall be billed to the Developer
and paid to the City within thirty (30) days of billing.
2.10. Payment of City Costs. The Developer agrees to reimburse the City its actual costs regarding:
(i) preparing and administering this Agreement and all other documents, permits, and applications
related to the Development; (ii) processing the approvals relating to the Development; (iii) any other
cost expressly required under or directly related to this Agreement. In addition to and without
limitation of the foregoing, the costs to be reimbursed by the Developer to the City shall include, but
not be limited to, attorneys’ fees, engineering fees, inspection fees, and the costs and fees of other
technical and professional assistance (including but not limited to the cost of City staff time) incurred
or expended by the City on activities arising out of this Agreement and other undertakings directly
related thereto. The Developer shall, upon request by the City, pay such costs to the City within 30
days of such request.
In the event the City does not recover any costs under the provisions of this section 2.10, as
an additional remedy, the City may, at its option, assess the Property in the manner provided by
6
HP145\88\815797.v6
Minnesota Statutes, chapter 429, and the Developer hereby consents to the levy of such special
assessments without notice or hearing and waives its rights to appeal such assessments pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, section 429.081, provided the amount levied, together with the funds deposited
with the City under this section, does not exceed the expenses actually incurred by the City. Further,
the City may, at its option, as an additional remedy, recover expenses actually incurred by the City,
in the manner provided by Minnesota Statutes, sections 415.01, 366.011 and 366.012, and the
Developer hereby consents to the levy of such assessments without notice or hearing and waives its
rights to appeal such assessments pursuant to such Minnesota Statutes, provided the amount levied,
together with the funds deposited with the City under this section 2.10, does not exceed the expenses
actually incurred by the City pursuant to this Agreement. Finally, the Developer agrees all such unpaid
amounts also constitute charges for governmental services that the City may, at its option, collect on
any property the Developer may own in the state pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 514.67.
This section 2.10 shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall be binding on the
Developer regardless of the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
2.11. Attorneys’ Fees. The Developer agrees to pay the City’s reasonable costs and expenses,
including attorneys’ fees, in the event a suit or action is brought by the City against the Developer to
enforce the terms of this Agreement.
2.12. Amendment. Any amendment to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties.
2.13. Assignment. The Developer may not assign any of its obligations under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developer may,
without the City’s consent transfer assign this Agreement to an affiliate of the Developer that is
owned by or under common ownership with the Developer or any affiliate of Developer; provided
that any such transferee must enter into an agreement pursuant to which it assumes and agrees to
perform the obligations of the Developer under this Agreement.
2.14. Agreement to Run with Land. This Agreement shall be recorded among the land records of
Hennepin County, Minnesota. The provisions of this Agreement shall run with the Property and be
binding upon the Developer and its assigns or successors in interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no conveyance of the Property or any part thereof shall relieve the Developer of its liability for full
performance of this Agreement unless the City expressly so releases the Developer in writing.
Additionally, in the event that all obligations of the Developer contained in this Agreement are duly
satisfied, the City shall, upon written request from the Developer or any of its assigns or successors
in interest, execute a document (a) releasing the Property from the terms and conditions of this
Agreement; and (b) stating the Developer is in good standing under this Agreement. The execution
and recording of such instrument shall not affect or otherwise alter the PUD Declaration. Any such
instrument may be executed by the city manager without city council approval.
Prior to the recording of this Agreement or any documents required herein with Hennepin
County, the Developer agrees to provide the City with a signed consent from any other entity with a
legal interest in the Property, including but not limited to any entity with a mortgage interest. Further,
the Developer shall provide the City with evidence, which sufficiency shall be determined by the City,
in its sole discretion, that all documents required to be recorded pursuant to this Agreement are
7
HP145\88\815797.v6
recorded and all conditions related to the City Approvals have been met prior to the City processing
or approving any building permits or other permits applicable to the development of the Property.
The City Approvals are subject to the Developer’s compliance with this section.
2.15. Representatives Not Individually Liable. No official, agent, or employee of the City shall be
personally liable to the Developer, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach
by the City on any obligation or term of this Agreement. No agent, officer or employee of the
Developer shall be personally liable to the City, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default
or breach by the Developer on any obligation or term of this Agreement.
2.16. Notices and Demands. Any notice, demand, or other communication under this Agreement
by either party to the other shall be sufficiently given or delivered if it is dispatched by registered or

2.17. Disclaimer of Relationships. The Developer acknowledges that nothing contained in this
Agreement nor any act by the City or the Developer shall be deemed or construed by the Developer
or by any third person to create any relationship of third-party beneficiary, principal and agent, limited
or general partner, or joint venture between the City and the Developer.
2.18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall constitute one and the same instrument.
2.19. Choice of Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
8
HP145\88\815797.v6
accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota. Any disputes, controversies, or claims arising
out of this Agreement shall be heard in the state or federal courts of Minnesota, and all parties to
this Agreement waive any objection to the jurisdiction of these courts, whether based on
convenience or otherwise.
2.20. Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the City, its
officials, agents, and employees shall not be liable or responsible in any manner to the Developer, the
Developer’s successors or assigns, the Developer’s contractors or subcontractors, material suppliers,
laborers, or to any other person or persons for any claim, demand, damage, or cause of action of any
kind or character arising out of or by reason of the execution of this Agreement or the performance
of this Agreement except with respect to matters of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the City
or its officials, agents, or employees. The Developer, and the Developer’s successors or assigns, agree
to protect, defend and save the City, and its officials, agents, and employees, harmless from all such
claims, demands, damages, and causes of action and the costs, disbursements, and expenses of
defending the same, including but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, consulting engineering services, and
other technical, administrative, or professional assistance except with respect to matters of gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officials, agents, or employees. Nothing in this
Agreement shall constitute a waiver or limitation of any immunity or limitation on liability to which
the City is entitled under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 466 or otherwise.
This section 2.20 shall survive termination of this Agreement with respect to matters first arising
prior to such termination and shall be binding on the Developer regardless of the enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement.
2.21. Developer’s Default. In the event of an uncured default by the Developer as to any work
or undertaking required by this Agreement, the City may, at its option, (i) refuse to issue building
permits, certificates of occupancy, or other City approvals for the Property until such time as such
default has been cured; or (ii) perform any work required under this Agreement, and the Developer
shall promptly reimburse the City for any expense incurred by the City related thereto. An
“uncured default” is any default the Developer has not cured, or undertaken to cure, within thirty
(30) days from the date the City notifies Developer of such default. The foregoing notwithstanding,
if a default requires more than thirty (30) days to cure, such default shall not constitute an uncured
default, provided that the curing of the default is promptly commenced upon receipt of written notice
from the City, and with due diligence is thereafter continuously prosecuted to completion and is
completed in a reasonable period of time, not to exceed ninety (90) days. This Agreement is a
license for the City to enter onto the Property and act in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for the City to seek an order from any court for permission
to enter the Property for such purposes. If the City does any such work, the City may, in addition
to its other remedies, levy special assessments against the Property to recover the costs thereof.
For this purpose, the Developer, for itself and its successors and assigns, expressly waives any and
all procedural and substantive objections to the special assessments, including, but not limited to,
hearing requirements and any claim that the assessments exceed the benefit to the land so assessed.
The Developer, for itself and its successors and assigns, also waives any appeal rights otherwise
available pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 429.081.
2.22. Compliance with Existing Laws. The Developer warrants that all work performed pursuant
9
HP145\88\815797.v6
to this Agreement shall be in compliance with existing laws, ordinances, pertinent regulations,
standards, and specifications of the City.
2.23. Building Permits. The City Approvals and this Agreement do not include approval of any
building permits for any structures on the Property. The Developer must submit and the City must
approve building plans prior to an application for a building permit for a structure on the Property.
The Developer or the parties applying for the building permit shall be responsible for payment of
the customary fees associated with the building permits and other deferred fees as specified in this
Agreement. In addition to all other remedies, permits may be withheld if the Developer is in
violation of any of the terms of this Agreement.
2.24. City’s Access. The Developer hereby grants the City, its agents, employees, officers and
contractors a non-revocable, non-exclusive, license to enter the Property to perform any work and
inspections deemed appropriate by the City related to any of the Developer’s obligations contained
in this Agreement. Such license shall terminate upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for
all improvements contemplated as part of the Development and the City’s final approval of the
Secured Improvements.
2.25. Developer Financial Assistance Request. During the time it has taken to put the
Development together, several factors have caused an increase in the project budget to the point
the Developer has indicated that the Development is not financially feasible without City
assistance. As a result of these circumstantial changes, the Developer submitted an application to
the City for financial assistance to support the Development in the amount of $1,250,000. There
are several factors cited that have contributed to the financial gap in the project including
demolition costs, escalating lumber costs, design changes and other project changes.
It has been determined that some financial assistance is necessary for the Development to move
forward, particularly for assistance tied to the demolition costs necessary for the
Development. The City, through the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Hopkins (the
“HRA”), has authorized the providing of a forgivable loan to the Developer in connection with the
Development, including the following assistance: a one-time forgivable loan utilizing excess Tax
Increment Financing (TIF) from TIF District 2-11 (as these funds are eligible expenditures for
redevelopment) from the City in the maximum principal amount of $1,250,000 or 2.9% of the project
costs, apportioned for project costs as follows: $1,250,000 for demolition and environmental
remediation associated with the demolition, for exterior improvements to the existing retail and
for outdoor public space. If, demolition and environmental remediation associated with the
demolition costs, the exterior improvement costs and the cost of the outdoor space (not including
surface parking lot construction) is less than $1,250,000, the forgivable loan would be reduced
dollar for dollar. A separate forgivable loan agreement, including a note and mortgage (the “Loan
Agreement”) will be provided that is conditioned on the Development receiving all land use
approvals. The forgivable Loan Agreement would be forgiven after five (5) years, but would be
required to be paid back if the Property was sold or transferred, unless allowed by the Loan
agreement, within the initial 5-year period of the Development.
The forgivable Loan Agreement constitutes the business subsidies proposed to be granted
by the HRA to the Developer under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 116J.993 through 116J.995 (the
10
HP145\88\815797.v6
“Business Subsidy Act”), and Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 through 469.179 (tax
increment) for the Property and the Development in the City of Hopkins. As such, an agreement,
(the “Business Subsidy Agreement”), between the Developer and the HRA, provides for certain
benefits and business subsidies as noted above to the Developer in connection with Development
and the Property.
2.26. Park Dedication. Although two principal structures are contemplated to be located on the
Property following the improvements required herein, the parcel is not presently being split or
subdivided by the Developer and, accordingly, park dedication fees are not triggered under present
circumstances. However, should the parcel that makes up the Property be split or subdivided at
any point in the future, whether by Developer or any of its successors or assigns, park dedication
shall be owed to the City in the amount of the then-current per-unit fee multiplied by 150
residential units (the amount of residential units to be constructed as part of the Private
Improvements), plus an additional amount based on 5,382 square feet of commercial space
pursuant to the then-current formula for commercial park dedication. This paragraph shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.
2.27. Miscellaneous Provisions.
A. The Developer represents to the City that the development of the Property will
comply with all city, county, state, and federal laws and regulations including, but not limited to:
subdivision ordinances, zoning ordinances and environmental regulations. If the City determines
that the development of the Property does not comply, the City may, at its option, refuse to allow
construction or development work on the Property until the Developer does comply. Upon the
City’s demand, the Developer shall cease work until there is compliance.
B. Third parties shall have no recourse against the City under this Agreement.
C. An ongoing default by the Developer under the terms of this Agreement shall be
grounds for denial of building permits or certificates of occupancy until any such defaults are cured
by the Developer.
D. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement and each related document shall
be interpreted so that it is valid under applicable law. If any provision of this Agreement or any related
document is to any extent found invalid by a court or other governmental entity of competent
jurisdiction, that provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any
other related document.
E. No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty,
agreement, or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a
breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach of any other covenant, agreement,
term, or condition, nor does it imply that such covenant, agreement, term, or condition may be
waived again. The action or inaction of the City shall not constitute a waiver or amendment to the
provisions of this Agreement. To be binding, amendments or waivers shall be in writing and
signed by the parties. The City’s failure to promptly take legal action to enforce this Agreement
11
HP145\88\815797.v6
shall not be a waiver or release.
G. Each right, power, or remedy herein conferred upon the City is cumulative and in
addition to every other right, power, or remedy, express or implied, now or hereafter arising,
available to the City, at law or in equity, or under any other agreement, and each and every right,
power and remedy herein set forth or otherwise so exciting may be exercised from time to time as
often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the City and shall not be a waiver of the
right to exercise at any time thereafter any other right, power, or remedy.
H. This Agreement, together with the exhibits hereto, which are incorporated by
reference, constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of all mutual understandings between the
parties with respect to this Agreement, superseding all prior or contemporaneous proposals,
communications, and understandings, whether oral or written, pertaining to the subject matter of this
Agreement.
I. No official, agent, or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the
Developer, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City on any
obligation or term of this Agreement.
J. Data provided to the Developer or received from the Developer under this
Agreement shall be administered in accordance with the Minnesota Government Data Practices
Act, Minnesota Statutes, chapter 13.
