Joel Hanson From: Joel Hanson Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2014 3:03 PM To: 'Aaron Barnard'; chadlemmons@kellyandlemmons.com Ce: Mark Davis - Davis Real Estate Services Group, LLC (Mdavis@davisrealestatemn.com); jrasmussen@davisrealestatenm.com Subject: RE: Little Canada Attachments: Purchase Agreement Rice Street Little Canada - 7.8.14.doc; Architectural Review - B3.pdf Aaron: It appears you received Chad's comments before 1 had a chance to review them. I had also sent Chad my suggested changes that were not part of the documents you have been exchanging. I'm attaching the re -draft with my changes. Here is a summary of what I feel is necessary beyond what has been discussed to date: • Listed City as a "Minnesota Municipal Corporation". • Paragraph 2.a. — Eliminated "interest bearing account" reference. It isn't worth our time to track interest on this amount given the low rates we are dealing with. • Paragraph 3.b. — I have already provided you with copies of any soils information we have in our possession. Plus, if you do more reports, we would want a copy. • Paragraph 3.d.—Again, I have provided all environmental information we have in our possession and the related tank release data. Again, if you commission new reports, we would want a copy. • Paragraph 3.e. — A medical clinic is a permitted use on this site. However, architectural review/approval is needed. I'm attaching a copy of the guidelines for this zoning district. • Paragraph 3.h. — Unrestricted access will be via Viking Drive (east side of property). Ramsey County will not allow access on Rice Street. • Paragraph 5 — We are not interested in providing an ALTA survey for the site. It was recently platted and we have provided a copy of that. ALTA surveys are typically a necessity of project financing and given the purchase price of the property, we are not interested more out of pocket expenses. • Paragraph 6—Same as last item. • Paragraph 7c — We have identified the only environmental issue we are aware of on this site (Oasis Fuel Tank Release). The site was "closed" by MPCA, but as you know, the redevelopment of the site could trigger some remediation if the contaminated area is encountered. If you have review the reports I sent you, the contamination was in a fairly confined area and is likely below the foundation area unless a basement is planned. The contaminated area could be encountered if utility lines run through the area in question. I believe remediation would involve re -using the contaminated soil on site or disposing of it off site at an approved location. Let me know if you have comments or questions.
