WAIVER OF PLAT - CITY OF HOPKINS
Pro-posed Action.
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move to adopt
Resolutions R91-1 and R91-2 approving the division of the parcel at
902 Mainstreet.
Approval of this motion will divide a portion of 902 Mainstreet to be
combined with 906-8 Mainstreet.
The Planning commission unanimously approved Resolution RZ90-19
recommending approval of the division of the parcel at 902 Mainstreet.
Overview.
In 1988 the city of Hopkins HRA sold the property located at 906-908
Mainstreet to Marcus Corporation. Marcus corporation subsequently
renovated the building on this site and constructed a stair and
elevator tower on the property to the east owned by the HRA. In order
to construct this tower Marcus Corporation obtained an easement from
the HRA for the stair/elevator tower. However, in order to facilitate
. the payment of property. tax by the developer attributable to the
stair/elevator tower, the City Attorney has recommended that ownership
of this property be transferred to Marcus corporation.
Staff is recommending approval because the new parcels meet the zoning
requirements.
Staff reviewed with the Planning Commission why the waiver of plat was
needed. There was little discussion by the Planning commission on this
item.
The HopkinsHRA is scheduled to review the transfer of the property in
question during its meeting on 1/8/91. Approval of the waiver of plat
should only be given if the HRA approved the sale to Marcus
corporation.
Primary Issues to Consider. .
o Do the new parcels meet the zoning requirements?
" 0 Why is the HRA transferring the subject property to Marcus
Corporation?
o What are the implications of this transfer?

Primary Issues to Consider.
o Do the new parcels meet the zoning requirements?
The zoning ordinance requires a minimum lot width of 20 feet, both
lots will meet this requirement.
o Why is the City selling the stairway land to Marcus?
Originally an easement was given to Marcus Corporation for the land on
which the stair/elevator tower was constructed. However, there are
two problems that relate to the easement agreement:
1) The easement does not state that it is the developers
responsibility to pay real estate taxes on the subject property
directly attributable to the elevator/stair tower improvement. If the
property transfer does not occur,a revision to the easement agreement
needs to be executed which obligates the developer to this
requirement.
.. 2) Under an easement agreement the HRA, which receives the property
tax statement, will have to manually calculate on an annual basis the
amount of taxes attributable to the elevator/stair tower. This amount
would than be billed to Marcus Corporation for payment.
The city Attorney has advised staff that a much simpler approach is to
transfer ownership of the property to Marcus corporation. With this
action Marcus would be taxed by the County on an annual basis for
these improvements. The city staff would not have any involvement.
o What are the implications of this transfer?
This transfer will lower the property taxes that are paid on the
property to the east currently owned by the HRA because Marcus
corporation will own the stair/elevator tower. The developer is
presently using the stair/elevator area of the site for his
improvements which restricts any other use.
As part of the deed, the city Attorney will also be requested to place
a covenant on the subject property to be transferred which states the
following:
1. The land will revert back to the HRA at such time as the existi~g
use is terminated.

2. The sUbject property shall be subject to compliance with all
aspects of the development agreement between the Hopkins HRA and
Marcus corporation dated November 14, 1990.
Alternatives.
1. Approve the waiver of plat. By approving the waiver of the
plat, Marcus corporation will own the property and pay the
property taxes for the stair/elevator tower.
2. Deny the waiver of plat. By denying the waiver of the plat,
the City of Hopkins HRA will pay the taxes for the area the
stair/elevator tower is constructed on.
3. continue for further information. If the city council
indicates further information is needed, the item should be
continued.
