DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT - MEADOW CREEK CONDOMINIUMS
ProDosed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Adopt resolution number 95-35
authorizing the execution of a development agreement between the City of Hopkins and Meadow
Creek Condominiums contingent upon sucessful expiration of the veto period,
With this motion, the City Manger and Mayor will be authorized to execute the agreement with
the conditions as outlined in resolution 95-35.
Overview
The City of Hopkins has the authority to establish housing improvement areas under the Housing
Improvement Act (1994 Minnesota Laws, Chapter 587, Article 9, Section 22 through 31).
Within a housing improvement area, the City can sell bonds to pay for various improvements to
individual housing units and common areas, Those bonds are then repaid through fees imposed
on the owners of the units.
The Meadow Creek Condominium Association has been working for more than two years on a
. capital improvements program that is proposed to be financed though the City of Hopkins. In
March, the City Council held the required public hearings, authorized the establishment of a
housing improvement area for Meadow Creek and set the fees for the area. The veto period will
end on May 5, 1995 and at this time it appears as though the project will be approved as only two
vetos has been received to date.
The attached development agreement specifies under what terms the bond funds will be released
to the association to pay for construction costs. The agreement also provides for provisions in the
event of deliquencies in the collection of the fees.
