Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT February 6, 2005 10C Kelly Meyer, Asst. to the City Manager CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A MODIFIED VERSION OF THE CITY'S STANDARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR THE SALE OF 16180 HASTINGS AVENUE IN CONNECTION WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A THREE-STORY OFFICE/RETAIL BUILDING BY ROCK CREEK DESIGNERS & BUILDERS, LLC IN DOWNTOWN PRIOR LAKE. Introduction: The purpose of this agenda item is to formally authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a Purchase Agreement for the sale of property at 16180 Hastings Avenue in Downtown Prior Lake to Rock Creek Designers & Builders, LLC. History: The City owns a 49'x 145' parcel at the intersection of Main Avenue and Hastings in Downtown Prior Lake. In early 2005, the City requested proposals from bidders interested in purchasing this site in order to construct a commercial building. The intent in seeking proposals for this development was to continue the redevelopment efforts in the downtown area consistent with the direction provided in the City's 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan. On June 6, 2005, the City Council awarded the project to Rock Creek Designers and Builders represented by Dan Schaefer whose proposal most closely conformed with the requirements of the RFP, planned for a 3-story building consistent with the design guidelines for Downtown, and offered a purchase price of $200,000 for the parcel. On October 17, 2005, the City Council authorized City participation in three documents. The first was an Agreement Regarding the Purchase of City-Owned Property (as amended) that set out the terms and conditions of the sale, assuring that the sale of the property would not occur unless Rock Creek secured a building permit by January 3,2005, and commenced construction by April 7, 2006. The second document was a development agreement, and the third document was a lease agreement that provided that the parking lot adjacent to the site would be leased to provide parking. Since October 2005, the developer and City have been working to satisfy the requirements of these agreements and issue a building permit. Although several delays have occurred from the original deadlines, the building permit was issued on December 31,2005. Current Circumstances: At this time, all the conditions set out in the above agreements for the sale of the property have been met. The next step in the process is to enter into a modified version of the City's standard purchase agreement and complete the sale. Attached is a copy of the proposed agreement. The developer will have to agree to the terms and submit a signed document prior to the Council considering this item. www.cityofpriorlake.com T<:\r)nnn\(\~1 'I /(\4,.2('(+ r,,* Ow:.;"""" '\"';'{>;""'" </li C,.,., {:Ji'J,"h'"",( , ",.{~v ',,' '. '''pIiane95L4Ll- /:<1Z3d"!rax' gSL44 / .Ll-L;4S"': There has been a recent delay in the process for closing on the property attributable to both parties. We have finalized the building size and exterior to be considerably better than originally proposed. All stucco or EIFS (exterior insulation finishing system) has been removed and replaced with rock or brick. The building footprint was increased in size from 4800 square ft. to 5600 sq. ft. The middle cornice has been extended to break up the building mass, signify the entry and render the building a landmark. These factors increased the building cost in excess of $300,000. Attached is a graphic showing the building exterior, with the exception of the cornice extension agreed to in the attached e- mail. This process has resulted in a delay from the initial timeline. As such, subject to approval by the Council, the City and Developer have agreed to extend the timeline for beginning construction to from April 7, 2006 to May 7,2006. This extension would also impact the completion date under the agreements, which is 14 months from the beginning of construction. In this case, July 7,2007. Once we close on the sale of the property, the agreements between the City and developer provide the remaining deadlines: Commence Construction On or before May 7,2005 Complete Construction....................,Within 14 months (July 7,2007) Final Certificate of Occupancy Within 60 days after constructed (Sept. 7, 2007) Conclusion: This action is the next step in the process for development of a three-story office/retail building by Rock Creek Designers & Builders, LLC. Action by the Council would authorize the staff to complete the sale based upon the terms and conditions set forth in the attached Purchase Agreement, the Agreement Regarding the Purchase of City-Owned Property dated October 17, 2005, and the Development Agreement dated October 17,2005. ISSUES: There are no significant issues in the proposed Purchase Agreement. Some modifications have been made from the City's standard version in order to incorporate the two previous agreements (and their conditions) that have driven this project - the Agreement for the Purchase of City-Owned Property, and the Development Agreement. Consistent with those documents, any non-performance on the part of the developer in commencing construction of the building by May 7, 2006 would result in rescission of the sale of the property, the City retaining the $200,000 purchase price, as well as any cash payments received for extension of the original timeline. Language to this affect is required in the conveyance document as well. The City Attorney has reviewed and been involved with the construction of the Purchase Agreement. At the time of submittal of this report, we do not have a signed agreement, but expect to finalize all of the details and submit a signed agreement to the Council on February 6, 2006. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The sale of the property will provide $200,000. The City will assume closing costs typical of the Seller, including the costs for providing marketable title and providing an owner's policy of title insurance in lieu of an abstract. Staff does not expect those costs to exceed $3,000. In the event there are title corrections that would require additional funds, staff would come back to the Council for authorization. The long-term financial impact of this project is more difficult to quantify. The addition of a building appraised at $2.8 million to the site will provide additional tax base, and the new building will allow more business to move into our Downtown area to continue our revitalization efforts as directed by the City's 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan. No City subsidy will be used to support this project. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Adopt the resolution authorizing execution of the proposed Purchase Agreement, and directing staff to amend the timelines in both the Development Agreement and Agreement Regarding the Purchase of City-Owned Property to be consistent with a construction commencement date of May 7,2006. 2. Take no action and provide staff with direction. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Alternative 1.
