. Primary Issues to Consider.
. What are the specifics of the conditional use permit agreement?
The following are the main points addressed in the agreement:
. Developer improvements
Reciprocal access and parking easements I
.
. County Road 73 access
. Submission of a storm water management plan
. Evidence of financing
. Road and traffic improvements
. Demolition and site grading
. Reimbursement of costs to City
. Compliance with conditional use permit requirements
. What is the assurance that a portion of the Hopkins House will be removed and the
rest remodeled?
. The agreement requires National Lodging to provide the City, prior to the issuance of a
demolition permit, written evidence that they have financing or cash to complete the
improvements.
The agreement with Semper Development does not allow Semper to obtain a building permit
to construct the Walgreens until the portion of the Hopkins House that is to be demolished is
removed. Also, National Lodging will not be able to get a building permit until the portion
of the Hopkins House is demolished.
Alternatives.
1. Recommend approval of the conditional use permit agreement. By approving the
conditional use permit agreement, the Hopkins House Hotel will be remodeled as
proposed.
2. Recommend denial of the conditional use permit agreement. By denying the conditional
use permit agreement, the Hopkins House Hotel will not be able to be remodeled as
proposed. If the City Council considers this alternative, findings will have to be
identified that support this alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is
needed, the item should be continued.

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 to the Developer.Qr,

Re: Proposed WalgrceIl! Redevelopment
TH-7 / CSAH-73 - Northeast Quadrant
Review of Preliminary Plat (County Review No. 2542)
Dear Ms. Anderson:
This prclimibuY plat review is performed in accordance with MiMcsota Statutes 505.02 and 50S.03, Plats and
SUIVeyS. and MS 462.358, County Review of Plats. Besides the plat itself. this review is based on preliminay
infonnation that W1.S transmitted in August by Landform Engineering, and the July 1811I traffic study perfonned by
Benshoof Associates that was forwarded to the COtmty by Jim Kerrigan.
Future improvements of CSAH.73 are being considered in this area. and SRF Consulting Group has prepared a
proposed concept layout for the City of MiMetonka. A meeting was recently held on September 1St. with Hopkins.
MiMctonka. MnlDOT and Hennepin County to consider this proposed improvement conccpt. MnIDOT is planning
e:c upgrading 1lI.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-1 in Minnetonka.
Our primary comments concern the proposed access from this site to CSAH~73 and the need for additional right-of-
way dedication to ac:commodate the proposed roadway improvements.
. As you are aware, Herm.epin County is responsible for the iS5UaD.cc of entrance permits for access to
CSAH.73. The proposed Walgreens redevelopment proposes the closure of the lH-7 frontage road
access while retaining a nearby CSAH-73 acceS5. It is this access which necessitates a pennit from the
county .
As one examines thc CSAH-73 corridor between nIp 7 and so, Street North. one recoJDizes the potential
for conflict as site redevelopment oceurs and site access occurs as proposed. Both MnIDOT and the
county believe the removal of the '"no right turn on red" restriction for westbound TII-7 turns [0
northbound CSAH-73 would help ease congestion at and within the proximity of the htb.1~tion. The
proposed distance between the intersection and site access may preclude res~ction rcnlOval. A second
impact of site access along CSAH-73 as proposed is the conflict which occurs as left turning vehicles
enter and exit the site. The left t1mLing movements will be especially difficult during the rush hours. It is
with these circumstances in mind that the county has established access SPacinl &Uidelines. Not
lurpr1sina1y, the proposed site access does not meet the minimum auidelines for luch access.
Refenina to the agency meeting of September 1811I, a MnlDOT representative indicated to the parties that
the introduction of the proposed Walgreens site access via CSAH-73 may be cause for it (MnIDOT) to
withhold significant funding from the proposed TIl-7 / CSAH-73 improvements offered by SRF
. Consulting Group. The county Transportation Deparbnent stdf considers the proposed TI{- 71 CSAH.73
to be of benefit to many. and the potential loss of ftmding from 8 project whose budget is already suspect
causes county staff concern.

Whde county staff prefers no acc~ss 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 I 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 CSAH~73 intersection improvements because
of access, Hennepin County will not finance any portion of the withheld amount.
3. The proposed TII~7 I CSAH-73 improvement is important to a nwnber of parties. The right-of-
way need along CSAH-73, as described below, is essential to the success of the improvement
and futm-e improvements.
. It 1S recommended that an additional 17 feet of right-of-way. be dedicated to provide a 50-foot half
section in accordance with county guidelines for an urban 4-1ane divided roadway. CSAH-73 is
designated as part of the county bicycle system and acconunodations for bicycles will need to be
discussed as part of the concept layout. We are not aware if Hopkins has any pedes1rian or bicycle
systems defined in this area, our files do not contain an updated Comprehensive Plan nor a trail I
sidewalk plan.
. All proposed construction within county right-of~way requires an approved Hennepin County permit
prior to beginning construction. This includes, but is not limited to. access, drainage and utility
construction. trail development, and landscaping. The Pennits Section should be contacted at (763) 745-
760 1 for the appropriate permit forms.
. The developer must restore all areas within the COWlty right-of-way that are disturbed dwing
construction.
. Questions rcgardin~ these comments can be directed to Dave Zetterstrom at (763) 745-7643 or Bob Byers (763) 745~
7633. We remind you that recent changes in state stanrtes 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
recormnendations made in this letter.
Sincerely,
