_____________________________________________________________________ FROM: John Sutter, Community Development Director _____________________________________________________________________ DATE: May 31, 2018 TO: Anne Norris, City Manager (for June 5 EDA meeting) SUBJECT: Public hearing to consider a resolution approving the sale of 5751 West Broadway to the owner of the adjacent parcel at 5747 West Broadway for lot consolidation BACKGROUND Two adjacent parcels on West Broadway, 5751 (parking lot) and 5747 (office building), were owned by the same party prior to 2011. 5751 is encumbered by a parking lot easement in favor of 5747. This means whoever owns 5747 has the right to have a parking lot on 5751 regardless of underlying ownership of 5751. When Kentucky Avenue was reconstructed in 2011, 5751 was assessed in the normal manner but those special assessments were cancelled by tax forfeiture. At this time the balance of cancelled specials is $23,178 comprised of the original assessment ($16,906) plus interest through 2018 ($6,272). As with any tax forfeited property, the city may re-assess cancelled specials after the property returns to private ownership. The former owner stopped paying the mortgage on 5747 and the taxes on 5751. So: 5747 (the office building) was foreclosed and title passed to the lender in 2011. (It was not tax forfeited because the foreclosing lender paid the property taxes.) 5751 (the parking lot) was tax forfeited and title passed to the state in 2014. (It was not foreclosed because the mortgage only encumbered the 5747 parcel.) In 2012 FTK Properties purchased the office building at 5747 from the foreclosing lender. In accordance with the parking lot easement, the office tenants have been using the parking lot at 5751. The parking lot easement makes 5751 essentially useless to anyone other than the owner of 5747.

PAGE 2 OF 4
In 2015 the city completed a study of stormwater problems and potential improvements in the north part of the city where the system frequently surcharges during heavy rain events. One potential improvement would be an underground stormwater detention and infiltration facility under the parking lot at 5751. In fall 2016 Hennepin County determined that the market value of 5751 is $100 and the EDA purchased it for that price in 2017. The purpose of the acquisition was to provide the city with the option of constructing a stormwater infiltration facility under the parking lot at some undetermined point in the future. CURRENT STATUS FTK Properties has expressed a desire to clean up the relationship between 5747 and 5751 by purchasing 5751, and then replatting it and 5747 into a single lot. FTK Properties has said they are reluctant to proceed with purchasing and replatting the property unless the potential re-assessment is eliminated or at least substantially reduced, and to that end has agreed to pay $5,000 towards the cancelled specials at the closing for 5751. FTK has said they are not willing to pay more. FTK Properties has a pending sale of 5747 to a religious institution. FTK’s proposed purchase of 5751 and combination with 5747 would be included as part of that deal. Staff has not yet received that buyer’s CUP application, so it is possible that some other party in buying the 5747 property. ANTICIPATED SEQUENCE 1. (June 5) EDA holds public hearing on the sale of 5751 to FTK Properties and considers a resolution authorizing the sale and execution of necessary documents 2. (mid June) EDA closes on the sale of 5751 West Broadway to FTK Properties: Sale is subject to the stormwater easement and lot combination requirement Stormwater easement runs with the land in perpetuity unless vacated by city Lot combination must be completed within one year FTK pays the EDA $100 plus all EDA legal & transaction costs FTK also pays $5,000 towards cancelled pre-forfeiture specials EDA pays remaining $18,178 for remainder of cancelled pre-forfeiture specials (the city could make an interfund transfer back to the EDA if desired) 3. (late June) FTK sells 5747 and 5751 West Broadway to [religious institution or someone else TBD] 4. (by June 2019) FTK or its successor in ownership combines 5747 and 5751 into a single lot retaining the city’s stormwater easement over the 5751 portion
PAGE 3 OF 4
5. At some future date the city would have the option of installing a stormwater facility under the parking lot: The work would be coordinated with the property owner and office building tenants, ideally when the parking lot is in need of repair or resurfacing anyway The city’s decision to proceed with constructing the facility would depend on the city’s desire and financial capacity to do so (it may never happen) If redevelopment of the area makes the stormwater facility unnecessary or inadvisable, the city has the option of relinquishing its easement CONSIDERATIONS Reasons to proceed: օ City retains right to install and maintain a stormwater treatment facility under the parking lot at 5751 - EDA fund balance reduced by $18,178 (but could be mitigated with an interfund transfer back to the EDA) + City receives $5,000 from private party who otherwise has no obligation to pay anything towards the street assessment for 5751 + Long-term ownership will be cleared up so the office building and its parking are on a single platted lot and cannot once again go their separate ways What if we don’t proceed? օ EDA continues to own the property at 5751 West Broadway օ Office building continues to own, maintain and use the parking lot on 5751 օ EDA could grant stormwater easement to city whenever needed - Street fund would not receive the $5,000 for cancelled specials on 5751 + EDA retains $18,178 in its fund balance In summary, the main reasons to proceed are (1) to get the two parcels consolidated into a single lot and (2) to get the city $5,000 it otherwise wouldn’t receive. REQUESTED EDA ACTION After holding the public hearing, adopt the attached resolution authorizing the sale of the property to the owner of the adjacent parcel for lot consolidation.

The condition subsequent, as set forth in Section 8(A) of that certain Purchase Agreement between the Grantor and Grantee dated as of __________________, 2018 (the “Purchase Agreement” – Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit A but not defined have the meanings ascribed to them in said Purchase Agreement), is that Grantee must combine the Property with an adjacent property it currently owns and legally described as Lot 1, Block 2, Holmquist Addition, Hennepin County, Minnesota (“Grantee’s Property”), according to the lot-consolidation requirements of the city of Crystal City Code. If Grantee breaches the condition subsequent, Grantee shall re-convey the Property back to Grantor. If Grantee fails to re-convey the Property to the Grantor, Grantor may elect to exercise its right of re-entry by commencing an action in Hennepin County District Court to establish the breach of the condition subsequent. If Grantor establishes a breach of the condition subsequent, title to and the right to possession of the Property, and title to all improvements located thereon reverts to Grantor, and Grantee is not entitled to any compensation from Grantor for the value of any improvements Grantee has made to the Property. The filing of a final plat consolidating the Property conveyed hereby with Grantee’s Property shall conclusively satisfy and terminate the right of re-entry of the Grantor in this Quit Claim Deed or pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
