Shady Oak Road - ROW & Commuity Works AgreementMEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Hopkins City Council Members
FROM: Kersten Elverum, Director of Planning & Develop ent
Steve Stadler, Public Works Director
DATE: October 4, 2012
SUBJECT: Shady Oak Road — ROW & Community Works Agreements
A discussion of the Right of Way and Community Works Agreements has been scheduled for
the October 9, 2012, City Council work session. The purpose of the discussion is to
familiarize the Council with the terms and conditions of the agreements. Both agreements are
scheduled to be on the October 16th HRA and City Council agendas for approval.
Property owners and tenants within the project area have been notified of both meetings as
well as an open house on November 1, 2012, to discuss the Environmental Assessment
completed for the project. Additionally, staff has met with the property owners likely to be
involved in the Community Works project over the course of the past week.
The two agreements are separate, but related. The following are the key points of the two
documents:
Right of Way Agreement
Section II: The disposition of remnant parcels — remnant parcels are the land areas that
remain from the total acquisitions after the roadway right of way needs are accounted
for. The agreement refers to "west remnant parcels" and "east remnant parcels". The
east remnant parcels are the parcels between the new roadway and 21St Ave N. The
City of Hopkins will be granted easements to maintain these areas as buffers between
Shady Oak Road and the residential properties on the east side of 21" Ave. The west
remnant parcels are those Hopkins residential properties currently along the east side
of Shady Oak Road which will partially lie on the west side of the realigned roadway.
A small area from these parcels is needed for the Minnetonka access road along the
west side of the new roadway. The agreement grants Minnetonka the right and
responsibility to use and maintain these areas accordingly. The west and east remnant
parcels are called -out in the ROW agreement as they deal with properties within the
City of Minnetonka for which the City of Hopkins is gaining property rights or vice
versa. The remnant parcels north of 2nd St N along the east side of the new roadway
will be considered later in the construction cooperative agreement as the area is within
Hopkins and will be maintained as buffer area by Hopkins after the project. It is
anticipated that all the remnant parcel buffer areas will include trail segments, tree
plantings and screen fencing or vegetative screening. The city would be responsible
for maintenance of these areas.
• The city agrees to pay 50% of all property acquisition costs — these costs are defined
in section V of the agreement.
• Section VI: The estimated city cost of acquiring the necessary right of way and
temporary easements within the Hopkins borders is estimated at $2,685,750. It is
estimated that an additional $50-75,000 will be billed as our share of demolition,
Phase II environmental assessments, environmental clean-up, etc. The City's
estimated total project cost is $3,392,000. The project will be funded primarily from
our Municipal State Aid fund with some additional funding from special assessments
and PIR for reconstruction of Mainstreet from 20t" Ave to Shady Oak Road. An
estimated $220,000 of project cost will be funded from the storm sewer fund.
• Section VII details that the County Transportation will contribute 50% of the cost (up
to $685,000 max) for the property needed for right of way within the Community
Works project area, i.e. the commercial properties on the west side of Shady Oak Road
between Oak Drive on the north and Bradford Road on the south. These are funds in
addition to the $3 million provided by Community Works for acquisition of properties
in this area.
• Sections IX and X detail typical County billing and City payment procedures for the
proj ect.
• Sections XI — XVIII contain County -required legal stipulations.
Community Works Agreement
■ The maximum amount of Community Works funds that will be available for the
project is $3 million. Additional funds will be made available to off -set the cost of the
ROW acquisition.
■ The term of the agreement is December 1, 2012 to December 31, 2017.
■ The funds will be distributed on a reimbursement basis.
■ The use of Community Works funds must result in a minimum of one redevelopment
site with a 10,000 square foot development.
■ The priority of the use of the funds is established as follows:
First Priority — purchase of land, relocation of tenants, demolition,
environmental abatement, and restoration of properties
Second Priority — Construction of new parking lots
Third Priority — Improvements to existing parking lots
Fourth Priority — Fagade improvements
Fifth Priority — Other public amenities
■ Private parking lot improvements will be coordinated through a project manager
assigned by the City of Minnetonka.
■ One scenario of how the Community Works funds could be used is attached to the
agreement as attachment A, but it does not represent the only option available under
the agreement.
The Hopkins City Attorney has been involved in the drafting of both agreements and will also
be at the work session to answer any questions you may have.

and other applicable law; and

THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Term and Cost of the Agreement. The term of this agreement commences December 1,
2012 and terminates December 31, 2017. HCHRA agrees to reimburse HHRA and
MEDA for an amount up to Three Million Dollars (53.000,000) ("Funds") for the

activities and services specified in Section 4 below and generally illustrated on
Attachment A ("Improvements") or as approved by HCHRA. Additional funds from
payments for roadway right-of-way, not to exceed 51,370,000 ("Additional Funds") may

expenditure for the particular priority that exceeds the not -to -exceed amount will be
reviewed by the HHRA and the MEDA, with the HCHRA providing final approval.
