V. NEW BUSINESS
1. Approve the Fourth Amendment to PUD/Development Agreement - Marketplace
& Main (CR2011-005)
Kersten Elverum, PED Director, explained the background of this issue. In June of 2004
the City of Hopkins rezoned the former Hopkins Honda Body Shop and used -car sales lot
to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) overlay zoning to facilitate the redevelopment of
this site into a mixed-use (residential/commercial) development. At that time, a PUD
agreement was executed with Luther Companies. The PUD agreement was revised in the
summer of 2006 to reflect The Cornerstone Group as owners. The PUD agreement with
The Cornerstone Group was approved by the Council, but never executed.

In 2007 The Cornerstone Group sold the site to Marketplace Holdings, Inc., (The Beard
Group) and the agreement was amended. In the spring of 2009 The Beard Group
proposed to change the ownership of the units from owner -occupied to rental, and the
agreement was amended and extended for construction to start no later than October 31,
2009. The agreement has been extended two more times to January 31, 2010, and again
until December 31, 2010. Staff is now proposing to extend the agreement to December
31, 2011 for flexibility on the start date.
Bill Beard said that they were still waiting on HUD to approve a loan. He also said that if
the HUD approval is not forthcoming by the spring it could impact Hennepin County grants
designed to help remediate some environmental issues.
Council Member Brausen moved and Council Member Youakim seconded a motion to
approve the Fourth Amendment to PUD/Development Agreement between the City of
Hopkins and Marketplace Holdings, Inc. A poll of the vote was as follows: Council
Member Youakim, aye; Council Member Brausen, aye; Council Member Halverson, aye;
Mayor Maxwell, aye.

on the Minnetonka Mills Road project to the City's satisfaction. This action completes an
