1. ITEM 2012-06 Public hearing: Purchase and Development
Agreement between HRA and Klodt Development
Ms. Elverum gave a brief overview of this key development
that will create an inviting corridor from the future SW
LRT station to the downtown, and explained that the terms
of the agreement generally reflect the conditions
previously discussed with the HRA. Because the City of
Hopkins acquired the site in part with grant funds and
redevelopment projects are typically undertaken through the
powers of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, the City
must transfer ownership to the HRA before the property can
be sold to the developer.
Commissioner Halverson moved, Commissioner Gadd seconded,
to approve the purchase and development agreement between
the Hopkins Housing and Redevelopment Authority and Klodt
Development, LLC, contingent upon the City of Hopkins
transferring ownership to the Hopkins Housing and
Redevelopment Authority. The motion was approved
unanimously.
