HRA Report 2013-04
PURCHASE AGREEMENT — LEAMAN'S LIQUOR INC.
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the
Purchase Agreement between the Hopkins Housing and Redevelopment
Authority and Leaman's Liquor Inc.
With this motion the Purchase Agreement will be executed with the closing
anticipated to occur on June 27, 2013. It is understood that staff has the
authority to make modifications that do not change the intent of the agreement.
Overview
In 2014, Hennepin County, in partnership with the cities of Hopkins and
Minnetonka, will begin construction on the widening of County Road 61, also
known as Shady Oak Road. This project will require the acquisition of additional
Right of Way. In order to maximize the benefits of the road project, and minimize
the impacts, Hennepin County awarded the cities $3 million in Community Works
funds to conduct a variety of activities including property acquisition, demolition
and construction of new parking areas.
The City of Hopkins has been in negotiations with several of the property owners
and is now in a position to move forward with three property acquisitions that will
utilize the Community Works funds to create redevelopment opportunities and
replacement parking in the corridor.
The Leaman's property will be demolished to make available a development site
of at least 10,000 square feet, anticipated to be developed by Mokabaka LLC as
the new location for Snap Print and two additional tenants.
Primary Issues to Consider
• What is the overall plan for the use of Community Works funds in the
corridor?
• What are the terms of this agreement?

Analysis of Issues:
• What is the overall plan for the use of Community Works funds in the
corridor?
The following scenario was developed based on the needs of the property
owners and the availability of Community Works funds:
The HRA will purchase the following properties:
Address: Occupants:
120 & 112 Shady Oak Rd Leaman's Liquor/Nelson's Meats & Bakery
108 Shady Oak Rd Syndicate Sales
20 & 24 Shady Oak Rd Snap Print/Studio Tan (owned by Mokabaka, LLC)
The tenants — Nelson's Meats, Studio Tan and Snap Print — will receive their
relocation eligibility letters on June 5, 2013. Nelson's Meats will be relocated
within 90 days. The closing on Leaman's Liquor, Inc., property will take place on
June 27, 2013. From June 27. 2013, until the 90 -day period is up, the HRA will
own the property and lease back the space to both Leaman's Liquors and
Nelson's Meats, with the tenants paying all operating costs.
The closing on the remaining properties will take place after the
Leaman's/Nelson's building has been vacated, anticipated to occur in early
September. At this time, the Leaman's/Nelson's building will be demolished and
the property will be conveyed to Mokabaka, LLC, for the construction of a new
building that will be the new home to Snap Print and up to two additional tenants,
which may include Studio Tan.
When the new building is constructed, the northern portion of the former
Mokabaka property will be demolished and a new supporting wall constructed.
Additional improvements will be made to the property to accommodate Syndicate
Sales, who will then move into the former Snap Print location.
At this time, the current Syndicate Sales building will be demolished to create
parking for the new Snap Print (and tenants), as well as shared parking with the
VFW.
Additional shared parking will also be created using the northern portion of the
Mokabaka property.
• What are the terms of this agreement?
The purchase price is $952,500. The agreement gives Leaman's Liquor the right
to continue to occupy the property until August 20, 2013, but obligates Leaman's
to pay for all operating costs associated with the building. Nelson's Meats will
also be allowed to occupy the property for 90 days while they find another
suitable location.

The HRA has the following alternatives regarding this item:
• Approve the Purchase Agreement as recommended.

conditions shall not be in any way diminished thereby. Tenant further waives the provisions of

public liability insurance, providing coverage on an "occurrence" and, not a "claims made" basis,
covering all acts of Tenant, its employees, agents, representatives and guests and insuring against

modification. Certificates of all such insurance shall be delivered to Landlord prior to occupancy

destroyed by fire or other cause, Landlord shall at its sole option either (a) undertake to restore

elects to restore, Landlord shall not be obligated to restore any improvements to the Leased
Premises which were not owned and constructed by Landlord. Upon substantial completion by
Landlord of its work, Tenant shall undertake to restore its leasehold improvements and trade
fixtures with all due diligence. This Lease shall, unless terminated by Landlord pursuant to this
Section 12, remain in full force and effect following such damage, and, the Base Rent, prorated to
the extent that the Premises are rendered untenantable, shall be equitably abated until such repairs

trade fixtures with due diligence, abatement shall cease as of the date restoration could have been
completed using due diligence.

any alterations, additions or improvements, structural or otherwise, in or to the Leased Premises or

unreasonably withhold such consent. As a condition precedent to written consent of Landlord
hereunder, Tenant agrees to obtain and deliver to Landlord such security against mechanic's liens
as Landlord shall reasonably request. If any mechanic's lien is filed against any part of the
Building or the Project for work claimed to have been done for or labor or materials claimed to
have been furnished to or authorized by Tenant, such mechanic's lien shall be discharged by
Tenant within ten (10) days thereafter, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, by the payment and
satisfaction thereof or by making any deposit required by law. Should Tenant fail to obtain the
discharge of any such mechanic's lien within ten (10) days of the filing thereof, Landlord shall be
entitled to obtain such discharge by whatever reasonable means Landlord deems expedient, and all
costs incurred by Landlord in obtaining such discharge including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall
be paid by Tenant as additional rent hereunder.

commissioners, agents, representatives and employees shall not be liable to Tenant or those

Leased Premises for the account of Tenant in the name of Landlord or otherwise,
for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would
otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and for such terms (which may
include concessions or free rent) and for such uses as Landlord, in its sole and
unqualified discretion, may determine, and may collect and receive the rent
therefor. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any failure to collect any
rent due upon any such reletting. When used in this Paragraph 23, d), the phrase
"reasonable efforts to relet" shall mean and refer to commercially reasonable efforts
to relet the Leased Premises after all other vacant space in the Building has been
leased by Landlord upon such terms and conditions as Landlord, in its sole
discretion, may determine, and Landlord shall in no event be determined not to
have exercised reasonable efforts to relet for any period of time that is less than one
year after all comparable vacant space in the Building has been so leased.
e. No termination of this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 23, b) and no Repossession of
the Leased Premises pursuant to Paragraph 23, c) or otherwise shall relieve Tenant
of its liabilities and obligations under this Lease, all of which shall survive any such
termination or Repossession. In the event of any such termination or Repossession,
whether or not the Leased Premises shall have been relet, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the Base Rent and other sums and charges to be paid by Tenant up to the
time of such termination or Repossession, and thereafter Tenant, until the end of
what would have been the term in the absence of such termination or Repossession,
shall pay to Landlord, as and for liquidated and agreed current damages for
Tenant's default, the equivalent of the amount of the Base Rent, Operating
Expenses and such other sums and charges which would be payable under this
Lease by Tenant if this Lease were still in effect, less the net proceeds, if any, of
HopcivilU_eamansUquorPurchaseAgreement.5.8.13
any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph d) after deducting all
of Landlord's expenses in connection with such reletting, including without
limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage and management commissions,
operating expenses, legal expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees, alteration costs, and
expenses of preparation for such reletting. Tenant shall pay such current damages
to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Base Rent would have been payable
under this Lease if this Lease were still in effect, and Landlord shall be entitled to
recover the same from Tenant on each such day. At any time, after such
termination or Repossession, whether or not Landlord shall have collected any
current damages as aforesaid, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant,
and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final
damages for Tenant's default, an amount equal to the then present worth of the
excess of the Base Rent, Operating Expenses and other sums or charges reserved
under this Lease from the day of such termination or repossession for what would
be the then unexpired term of this Lease if the same had remained in effect, over
the then net fair rental value of the Leased Premises for the same period.
E If an Event of Default shall have occurred and Landlord places in the hands of an
attorney the enforcement of all or any of the terms, covenants, agreements or
conditions of this Lease, the collection of any rent due or to become due, or the
recovery of possession of the Leased Premises, Tenant agrees to reimburse
Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, for Landlord's reasonable attorneys fees,
together with the actual cost of maintaining any action commenced in law or equity
by Landlord, whether suit is actually filed or not.
g. Landlord shall in no event be considered to be in default hereunder until the
expiration of a reasonable period of time after written notice of default from
Tenant. Tenant agrees that it will look solely to the interest of Landlord in the
Project and the rentals therefrom for the collection of any judgment or award
requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default by
Landlord in any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease; and no other
assets of Landlord or its partners, officers, directors, members or shareholders shall
be subject to levy, execution or other legal process for the payment of Tenant's
claims.
h. Tenant waives any demand for possession of the Leased Premises, demand for
payment of rent and notice of intent to re-enter, or of intention to terminate this
Lease, other than the notices provided in this Section 23.
24. SURRENDER. Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord upon
termination of this Lease, whether such termination occurs at the end of the lease term or sooner,
together with all utility systems, equipment, improvements, replacements, alterations and
decorations thereto and operating bulbs or tubes in all light fixtures, broom clean and in good
order, condition and repair except for ordinary wear and tear. Tenant shall remove promptly, upon
Hopcivil\LeamansLiquorPurchaseAgreement.5.8.13
request by Landlord, alterations, modifications and the like to the Leased Premises made by
Tenant or on behalf of Tenant and shall restore and repair damage caused by such removal.

Landlord shall be entitled to take whatever steps may, in Landlord's sole discretion, be required to
restore the Leased Premises to said condition and Tenant agrees that it shall pay to Landlord all
costs incurred by Landlord in so restoring the Leased Premises.

fixtures, equipment, inventory, supplies, materials, furnishings, personal property and debris
(collectively the Apersonal property and debris@) from the Project no later than the Termination
Date or such earlier date on which Tenant vacates the Leased Premises.
25. HOLDING OVER. Should the Tenant continue to occupy the Leased Premises,
or any part thereof, after the expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease whether with or
without the consent of the Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month to month and Tenant shall
pay Landlord the sum of $200.00 per day for each day Tenant continues in possession after the
Termination Date in addition to all other sums Tenant is obligated to pay pursuant to the terms of
this Lease during the entire period that Tenant continues to so occupy the Leased Premises after
the term of this Lease.
26. LATE PAYMENT. Other remedies for nonpayment of rent notwithstanding and
without prejudice to such remedies, if Tenant fails to pay the Base Rent, Operating Expenses or
any other payment due hereunder, within the ten (10) days immediately following the date on
which such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, interest on
all such past due payments at the rate of one percent (1 %) per month or at the maximum rate
permitted by law, whichever rate is lower. Interest shall accrue from the date each such late
payment became due and shall be payable to the date of payment thereof by Tenant.

Minnetonka ("MEDA"), 14600 Minnetonka Boulevard, Minnetonka, Minnesota 55345.
WHEREAS, all parties wish to complete a redevelopment project and associated public
and private improvements as part of the Shady Oak Road Community Works Project ("Project");
and
WHEREAS, the project area is the area between Oak Drive on the North and Bradford
Road on the South; Shady Oak Road on the East and the west property boundary of properties
west of Shady Oak Road (`Project Area'); and
WHEREAS, the Project is consistent with the recommendations of the Redevelopment
Project Area One in the City of Hopkins and the redevelopment project area to be approved by
the City of Minnetonka in 2012; and
WHEREAS, as part of its Redevelopment Project No. 1, the HHRA has approved a
redevelopment plan for the Project Area ("Plan"); and
WHEREAS, the MEDA will approve a redevelopment plan for parcels within the Project
Area that are located within its boundaries ("Plan") by December 31, 2012; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 07- 466R1, Hennepin County authorized funds in an
amount not to exceed Three Million Dollars for the Shady Oak Road Community Works Project;
WHEREAS, the HCHRA wishes to contract with the HHRA and MEDA for completion
of said Project; and
WHEREAS, the HCHRA has the authority to contribute to the Project pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 163 and Sections 383B.77, 383B.79, 469.001 to 469.047, 471.85,
and other applicable law; and
WHEREAS, the parties are authorized to enter into this agreement pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes Sections 383B.79, 471.59 and other applicable law;
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 ($3,000,000) ("Funds") for the
property acquisition, property improvements, environmental abatement, and other
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 $1,370,000 ("Additional Funds") may
also be available during the project period for property acquisitions.
2. Responsibilities of Parties. The HHRA intends to purchase property for the purpose of
redeveloping it with a new building with a minimum size of 10,000 square feet (the
"Redevelopment Site") or an 8,000 square foot building if the building is constructed by
a property owner currently in the project area and to make the Improvements to the
Redevelopment Site. The HHRH also intends to make Improvements to other parcels
within the Project Area, as provided in this Agreement. HHRA and the HCHRA shall
determine the actual location, area and dimensions of the Redevelopment Site. The
HCHRA shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of any request by the
HHRA for approval of the location of parcels to be acquired for the Redevelopment Site,
and shall notify the HHRA of approval or disapproval of such location within ten (10)
business days of submission of a request for approval by the HHRA. The MEDA will
approve a redevelopment area for parcels within the Project Area that are located within
its boundaries by December 31, 2012. The MEDA agrees to make the Improvements to
parcels within the Project Area that are located within its boundaries, as provided in this
Agreement. HCHRA agrees to reimburse HHRH and MEDA for the Improvements in
accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement.
Restricted Use of the Funds. The use of any Funds for acquisition of the Redevelopment
Site or Improvements thereto is contingent upon the ability of the HHRA to acquire
property from willing sellers for the creation of the Redevelopment Site. If the HHRA is
unable to acquire the Redevelopment Site, no portion of the HCHRA Funds are
expendable solely for the purpose of making improvements to private property or for the
creation of new parking, provided the HHRA shall be entitled to reimbursement for
Second and Third priority expenditures for which the HHRA has become unconditionally
obligated in reliance on this Agreement.
4. Improvements Reimbursed. HHRA and MEDA shall use all Funds received under this
Agreement for the purposes, and in the priority, described below. If additional funds are
deemed necessary to meet the objectives of the HHRA, MEDA and HCHRA, the parties
agree to work together to identify additional funds available for the project. Any
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.
In order to work within time constraints and to prevent duplicative payments to property
owners from both the Project and the current road project (County Project 9112), any
property within the Project Area that is in an eminent domain action by Hennepin County
2
as a part of County Project 9112, will be ineligible to receive Funds for improvements to
privately owned property unless HCHRA approves payment of the Funds after reviewing
the circumstances of the condemnation.

review by HHRA and MEDA and approval by HCHRA. In connection with the
transfer of the Redevelopment Site to a redeveloper, the HHRA may enter into a
subrecipient agreement or redevelopment agreement with the redeveloper
allowing use of the Funds for the purposes described in this Paragraph A, subject
to all of the terms and conditions state in this Agreement. The HCHRA will
reimburse HHRA for costs listed above.
Prior to expending funds for any of the following priorities, purchase
agreement(s) must be signed for the purchase of property that will create an
adequately sized development parcel as determined by the HHRA and the
HCHRA.

New parking lots shall be subject to the following terms and conditions unless
otherwise allowed by the HCHRA:
i) Title to the land on which new parking lot(s) are constructed or will be
constructed in the future may be sold to adjacent property owner(s) for an

or such value as is otherwise allowed by the HCHRA.
ii) As a condition of the sale of new parking lot property to an adjacent property
owner, the parking lot may be subject to a non-exclusive parking easement that
provides for the sharing of the parking with adjacent commercial properties.,
The expenditures for new parking lots are not to exceed $300,000 without review

Private property owners may be eligible to receive cost to cure payments for
parking lot improvements (seal coating, stripping, etc.) from Hennepin County
Transportation for the Shady Oak Road project. Whether in the city of Hopkins
or Minnetonka, the parking lot improvements will be managed and monitored by
Minnetonka city staff. All parking lots improvements and payments will be
coordinated with Hennepin County staff and the roadway construction
contractor(s) for County Project 9112.
The expenditures for parking lot improvements are not to exceed $300,000
without review by HHRA and MEDA and approval by HCHRA.
D. Fourth Priority for the Expenditure of Funds: Facade improvements to existing
businesses that conform to the current city zoning code and are immediately
adjacent to the Shady Oak Road construction project between Highway 7 and
Excelsior Boulevard. Property owners are required to provide a 50 percent cash
match to any funds provided by HCHRA for fagade improvements. HHRA and
MEDA will manage the fagade improvements for properties in their cities.
Facade improvements are only possible if funding remains after completion of the
first three priority activities.

E. Fifth Priority for Expenditure of Funds: Other public amenities that support
Community Works principles within the Shady Oak Road corridor (for example,

5. Disposal of Acquired Property. The HHRA shall use its best efforts to sell or otherwise
transfer the Redevelopment Site to a qualified and responsible redevelopment party or
parties (as determined by the HHRA) who will assume the obligation of completing the
Minimum Improvements by December 31, 2017. The terms and conditions for the sale
or transfer of the Redevelopment Site to a redeveloper shall be determined by the HHRA
in its reasonable discretion and such transfer may be made for less than fair market value
in order to facilitate redevelopment of the Redevelopment Site. The Minimum
Improvements are abuilding of new construction with a minimum size of 10,000 square
feet or 8,000 square feet if the building is constructed by a project area property owner
and an associated landscaped, lighted parking lot(s), as generally illustrated in
Attachment A, attached and incorporated by this reference.
Any land sale proceeds must be used only for the purposes stated in Section 4 of this
agreement. It is understood that relocation to or acquisition of the Redevelopment Site
may be offered to one or more of the project area owners in exchange for the property
presently occupied by such oAmer(s). If this occurs, and the HHRA acquires such
property in exchange, the HHRA agrees to convey to Hennepin County that part of the
property acquired in such exchange that is needed for roadway and/or right-of-way
purposes as described in item 8.
6. Development Agreement. Any development agreement that is negotiated by the HHRA
with a developer of the Redevelopment Site purchased with HCHRA funds must receive
HCHRA approval. Approval will not be withheld if the project meets the Minimum
Improvements requirements.

area, whether in the city of Hopkins or Minnetonka, will be managed and monitored by
Minnetonka city staff, subject to reasonable approval of Hopkins city staff as to location

agreement or before the road project construction commences, whichever is earlier.
9. Payment. Payment for property acquisition costs and the Improvements shall be made
directly to the HHRA and MEDA after completion of the acquisition or incurring costs
for other Improvements and upon the presentation of a claim in the manner provided by
5
law governing the HCHRA's payment of claims. Payment shall be made within forty-
five (45) days from receipt of the invoice.
10. Independent Contractor. The HHRA and MEDA shall select the means, method, and
manner of performing the services. Nothing is intended or should be construed as

parties or as constituting the HHRA and MEDA as the agent, representative, or employee
of the HCHRA for any purpose. The HHRA and MEDA are and shall remain
independent contractors for all services performed under this Agreement. The HHRA
and MEDA shall secure all personnel required in performing services under this

the performance of the services required by this Agreement, and against all loss by reason
