Prior Lake Staff together with Barb Johnson and Clarence Kaiser of the Township Board have negotiated a draft resolution for the orderly annexation of the subject site (attached). Both Prior Lake and Spring Lake Township must adopt a joint resolution in order for the Minnesota Municipal Commission to act in a timely fashion. Failure to reach a joint agreement will necessitate the Municipal Commission to subject the annexation to the formal hearing process possibly delaying the annexation by two years. Furthermore, the Council is asked to consider the proposed contractual obligation with New Century Construction which were ne~otiated with Tim Keane, Attorney for the pet1tioner. New Century Construction has filed a petition to detach about 70 acres of vacant land from spring Lake Township and annex it into Prior Lake. The application has been processed in accordance with Prior Lake's Annexation Process. In general, the Council and Planning commission found that the proposed annexation would be positive for the community and subject area. The existing "Orderly Annexation Agreement" was the foundation on which the petition was based. However, spring Lake Township held that the 1972 Orderly Annexation Agreement was outdated and in need of revision. To expedite the process, Prior Lake and Spring Lake agreed to negotiate an amended joint resolution for the subject site only. If an agreement is reached with spring Lake Township and New Century Construction, development could begin late this year. 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 An Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action Employer DISCUSSION: The amendment to the original Orderly Annexation Agreement was initially drafted by Roger Knutson, Attorney for Spring Lake Township and redrafted as to form for the Municipal Commission by Glen Kessel, Attorney for the City of Prior Lake. The agreement resolves five points. Items 1 and 2 simply state that the subject property will be detached from Spring Lake Township in accordance to the new agreement. Item 3 will require Prior Lake to reimburse the township for taxes lost over a six year period. The township feels compelled to recover these taxes which would have otherwise been generated by a 2.5 acre development consisting of 30 lots which is the township density for the subject property. The schedule in item 3 sets forth percentages of Prior Lake's portion of the gross property tax to be reimbursed to spring Lake Township at the end of each calendar year. The amount of taxes generated will vary according to the value of the homes and the number of homes built between 1992 and 1995. Preliminary estimates indicate total payment in lieu of taxes range from $7000 - 12,000. Item 4 deals with the maintenance and paving of Mushtown Road from the southern terminus of the subject site north to the City limits (see attached map). It obligates Prior Lake for all maintenance with the exception of grading which will be performed by Spring Lake Township for the unimproved portion of Mushtown Road. Before any road or driveway connection is made from the subject site the entire portion of Mushtown Road must be overlaid to a standard as determined by Prior Lake. Approximately 1000 feet of Mushtown Road is currently overlaid with bituminous and should be exempt from additional overlays. The paved section lies directly south of the City limits. The cost for overlays or improvements to Mushtown Road would be shared by New Century Construction, Prior Lake, and spring Lake Township in the following manner: Prior Lake would defer all costs attributable to Spring lake Township for a five year period following the improvement(s). In the event that the section of Mushtown Road lying north of the subject site is annexed to Prior Lake within the five year period, no reimbursement to Spring Lake Township is due. However, under no circumstances can the amount of the reimbursement exceed the amount of the taxes Spring Lake Township receives pursuant to paragraph 2 of the amended Orderly Annexation Agreement. The financial arrangement with New Century Construction will be dealt with in a separate contract. Item 4 requires Prior Lake to reimburse spring Lake Township for ex~enses in an amount not to exceed $1500.00. Th1s expense in addition to the processing cost incurred by Prior Lake will be charged back to New Century Construction. The second agreement the Council will need to consider is between Prior Lake and New Century Construction. For mutual covenants and considerations New Century Construction should be responsible for: 1. All of the improvements of Mushtown Road to be completed as required by the amended orderly annexation agreement with last phase of the development. Staff is suggesting New Century Construction be responsible for the entire cost of Mushtown Road within the plat less design engineering costs and soil borings since New Century Construction is solely responsible for Mushtown Road becoming part of the City. The principle reason staff has suggested New Century pay for the entire roadway is because it would be impossible to assess half of the roadway to any lands outside the city limits. However, the City Council may wish to consider the range of cost participation perhaps up to one half of the roadway. The estimated construction cost of the roadway is about $100,000.00. 2. For costs incurred in the processing of the annexation petition. This shall include Spring Lake Township and Prior Lake costs. 3. Prior Lake's obligation for payment in lieu of taxes to Spring Lake Township. Staff has had numerous meetings with spring Lake Township and New Century Construction during which all the elements of both agreements were discussed in detail. The agreements as drafted and attached for your review reflect current and lon9 range mutual benefits for all parties 1nvolved. All parties have reached a tentative consensus on the proposed agreements and request the Council to adopt them.

Approve the agreements as presented. 2. Approve the agreements with amendments based on discussion. 3. Deny the agreements for specific reasons. Alternative number 1 Depends on discussion. The attached amended orderly annexation agreement only includes half of Mushtown Road.
