CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
SEPTEMBER 8, 2009
5J
JANE KANSIER, BUILDING AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES DIRECTOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN EXTENSION
TO AN AGREEMENT TO ALLOW THE TEMPORARY STORAGE OF A
STRUCTURE ON THE PROPERTY AT 16037 TAHINKA PLACE NW
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda report is to consider a resolution approving a 60-day
extension to the agreement with Gerald and Theresa Schrank to allow the
temporary storage of a vacant and unoccupied structure on the property located
at 16037 Tahinka Place NW. The original agreement stated if the property owner
fails to remove the structure within 90 days of the agreement (September 15,
2009), the City will do the necessary work and use the owner's letter of credit to
pay the costs.
Historv
On June 15, 2009, the City Council adopted Resolution 09-089, approving an
agreement with Gerald and Theresa Schrank. The agreement allowed the
Schrank's to move and temporarily store the vacant structure to the lot next door,
at 16037 Tahinka Place NW. This house has been donated to Habitat for
Humanity and will be relocated to the property at Elm and CR 12.
Current Circumstances
The original agreement (see attached) provided 90 days to make arrangements
to move the house to a more permanent site. The Schranks submitted a letter of
credit for $6,500 to cover the cost of demolishing the structure in the event the
house was not removed. The original agreement also allowed the Schrank's the
opportunity to request a 30-day extension to the 90-day timeline.
The attached letter from Mr. and Ms. Schrank requests a 60-day extension. This
would give them to November 15, 2009, to relocate the house. They believe this
will allow Habitat for Humanity the time they need to get the house in place.
There are two major issues pertaining to this request.
1. The original agreement states "upon mutual agreement of both parties this
agreement may be extended for thirty (30) days." A 30-day extension would
allow the house to be stored until October 15, 2009. The staff has asked the
City Attorney whether the Council can authorize a 60-day extension to the
contract at this time, or whether an additional request must be submitted after
a 30-day extension is approved. The City Attorney believed that the Council
may amend its original agreement to provide for a sixty-day extension or
approve a thirty-day extension and an additional thirty day-extension, if
necessary.

2. The letter of credit submitted with the original agreement expires on October
5, 2009. If the City Council approves the extension, it should be subject to
the condition that the letter of credit is renewed for the same amount of time.
In the past year, the City has dealt with several complaints about vacant
structures. It is not our intent to allow creation of more of these complaints. In
this case, there are few established neighbors, and the lot next door will be
undergoing construction. The relatively short timeline ensures removal of the
structure before winter and before the new house is occupied. The agreement
also provides a letter of credit which will allow the City to demolish the structure if
necessary and at the owners' expense.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
The letter of credit ensures any costs to the City will be recovered. If the
extension is approved, the LOC must be renewed for the same amount of time.
AL TERNATIVES:
1. Adopt the attached resolution approving the 30- or 60-day (subject to City
Attorney approval) extension to the agreement to allow the temporary storage
of a vacant and unoccupied structure on the property located at 16037
Tahinka Place NW, subject to the condition the letter of credit is renewed for
the same amount of time.
2. Other action as directed by the Council.
RECOMMENDED
MOTION:
A motion and second adopting a resolution approving the extension to the
agreement to allow the temporary storage of a vacant and unoccupied structure
on the property located at 16037 Tahinka Place NW, subject to the condition the
letter of credit is renewed for the same amount of time.

City of Prior Lake
Attn: Danette Parr, Bob Hutchins
Jerry and Terrie Schrank
25553 Fairlawn Ave.
Webster, MN 55088
Danette and Bob,
Per our letter of permission to store the vacant house on our lot at 16037 Tahinka Place, if
we expect~d to keep the home on the vacant lot past September 15,2009 it was requested
that we make that request by today.
To that end, as you are aware, Habitat for Humanity is planning on taking the house.
However, it is very likely at this point that they will not be ready for the home by
September 15. It also appears'that they will be ready sometime between October 15 and
November 1. Allowing for the potential for inclement weather as we get into the autumn
time fi'ame, we think it is pmdent to add a small time buffer into that projection.
Therefore, at this time we are asking that a 60-day extension be granted to the request for
the temporary storage of the home at 16037 Tahinka Place, with a new removal date of
November 15. All other terms of the existing agreement would remain in effect as
written.
We thank YOll for your efforts thus far and your consideration of this request.
Respectfully,
,. _=s- \{) <) C. {)
