. Primary Issues to Consider.
. What are the specifics of the conditional use permit agreement?
The following are the main points addressed in the agreement:
. Description of the public improvements Semper will complete
. The construction standards and procedures for the public improvements
. Reciprocal access easements
. County Road 73 access
. Submission of a storm water management plan
. Parking easements
. Road and traffic improvements
. Site demolition and site grading
. Acceptance and warranty of public improvements by the City
. Reimbursement of costs to the city from this development
. Timetable for the performance of the public improvements
. Compliance with conditional use permit requirements
. Are there changes with the development?
. There are no changes to the site plan, but there is a change in the plat. The applicant will be
dedicating an additional 17 feet of right-of-way on County Road 73. This will not affect the
site plan.
The county, when reviewing the plat, recommended closing the access from County Road 73.
The county has allowed this access, but if MNIDOT withholds any funding for the
intersection improvements, the county will not finance any portion of the withheld amount.
The staff has estimated this amount at approximately $50,000. The agreement with Semper
provides that Semper will pay up to $50,000 to the City when the intersection is improved.
The agreement allows for the fee to be assessed.
Alternatives.
1. Recommend approval of the conditional use permit agreement. By approving the
conditional use permit agreement, Semper Development will be able to construct the
Walgreens as proposed.
2. Recommend denial of the conditional use permit agreement. By denying the conditional
use permit agreement, Semper Development will not be able to construct the Walgreens
as proposed. If the City Council considers this alternative, findings will have to be
identified that support this alternative.
e 3. Continue for further information. Ifthe City Council indicates that further information is
needed, the item should be continued.

subcontracts for their construction and installation with the contractors or subcontractors retained
by Developer or Developer's general contractor (which written contracts or subcontracts shall be

Engineer. The Security shall be conditioned upon Developer's completion of the Public
Improvements and payment of the entire cost thereof, and the form and content of the Security shall

a term ending one (1) year after the date on which Developer has substantially completed the Public
Improvements as certified by Develo.Qer's Inspector and delivered proof of payment therefore to the
. City (which latter date is herein referred to as the "Termination Date"). The Security ma}: be reduced

periods, but in no event extending beyond the Termination Date. If Developer fails to deliver such
original written evidence of extension of the Security at least thirty (30) days before expiration of
the Security, Developer shall be deemed to be in default under this Agreement and the City may
draw upon or enforce the Security. The City may draw upon or enforce the Security for any violation
of the terms of this Agreement which is not cured within ten (10) business days after written notice

Review of Preliminary Plat (County Review No. 2542)
Dear Ms. ADdenon:
This prelimiauy plat review is pcrfonned in accordance with Minnesota Statutes 505.02 and 50S.03, Plats and
Surveys. and MS 462.358, County Review of Plats. Besides the plat itself; this review is based on preliminary
information 1bat was transmitted in AUJUSt by Landform Engineering, and the July 18dl traffic study performed by
Benshoof Associates that WIUi forwarded to the county by Jim Kerrigan.
Future improvements of CSAH.73 are being considered in this area. and SRF Consultina Group hu prepued a
proposed concept layout for the City of Minnetonlm. A meeting was recently held on September IS" with Hopkins.
Minnetonka, MnIDOT and Hennepin County to consider this proposed improvement concept. Mn!DOT is planning
~ uppdinS TH-7 next year to improve the medians, turn lanes, and to remove some direct accesses similar to their
ent improvements to the west on TH-7 in Minnetonka.
; ,
I
Our primary comments concern the proposed access from this site to CSAH.73 and the need for edditionaJ right-of-
way dedicatiCID to accommodate the proposed roadway improvements.
. M you are aware. Hermepin County is responsib~e far the issuance of entrance permirs tor access to
CSAH-73. The proposed Walgreens redevelopment proposes the closure of the TH-7 fron1age told
,"css while retaining a nearby CSAH-73 access. It is this access which necessitates a permit from the
county.
As one examines the CSAH- 73 corridor between 11Ip 7 and SlJl Street North. one I'eCOsnizes the potential
for conflict IS site redevelopment occurs ahd site access occW'S as proposed. Both MnIDOT and the
county believe the removal of the "no right turn on red" restriction for westbound TII-7 turns to
northbo1U1d CSAH-73 would help ease coniestion at and within the proximity of the iuter~tion. The
proposed distance between the intersection and site access may preclude restriction removal. A second
impact of site BCCesS along CSAH-73 85 proposed is the conflict which ocCurs as left turning vehicles
enter and exit the site. The left turning movements will be especially difficult during the rush hours. It is
with these circumstances in mind that the comty haa established access SPacinl auidelines. Not
lurprisinllYi the proposed site access docs not meet the minimum JUidelines for such access.
R.efcrrinl to the agency meeting of September ISlll, a MnlDOT representative indicated to the puties that
1hc introduction of the proposed Walgreens site access via CSAH-73 may be cause for it (MnID01) to
. withhold significant funding from the proposed TII-7 / CSAH-73 improvements offered by SRF
Consulting Group. The county Transportation Department staff considers the proposed TH.?I CSAH.73
to be of benefit to many. and the potential loss of funding from a project whose budget is alRady suspect
causes county staff concern.

WhIle county staff prefers no access be provided to CSAH-73 for the reasons identified, it will issue an
entrance permit with the understanding that:
1. Access will be limited to right-in / right..out. This will eliminate (or at least reduce) the left
. turning conflicts into and from the site, thus improving safety along CSAH-73.
2. IfMnlDOT withholds any funding for the TH-7 I CSAHa73 intersection improvements because
ofaccess. Hennepin County will not finance any portion of the withheld amount
3. The proposed TH-7/ CSAH-73 improvement is important to a number of parties. The right-af-
way need along CSAH-73, as described below, is essential to the success of the improvement
and future improvements.
. It is recommended that an additional 17 feet of right-of-way. be dedicated to provide a SO-Coot half
section in accordance with county guidelines for an urban 4-1anc divided roadway. CSAH-73 is
designated as part of the COWlty bicycle system and accommodations for bicycles will need to be
discussed as part of the concept layout. We are not aware if Hopkins has any pedestrian or bicycle
systems defined in this area, our files do not contain an updated Comprehensive Plan nor 8 trail!
sidewalk plan.
. All proposed CDn.strucnon within county right-of-way requires an approved Hennepin CO\D1ty permit
prior to beginning construction. This includes, but is not limited to, access, drainage and utility
construction, trail development, and landscaping. The Permits Section should be con13.ctcd at (763) 145-
760 1 for the appropriate permit fonns.
. The developer must restore all areas within the county right-of-way that are distUrbed during
construction.
. Questions rcgardina these comments can be directed to Dave Zctterstrom at (763) 745-7643 or Bob Byers (763) 745-
7633. We remind you that recent changes in state staMes MS 462.358 now requires that the city submit to the
county a notice of its approval of this plat, along with a statement addressing the disposition of the comments and
recommendations made in this letter.
