LINO LAKES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AGENDA ITEM 3 STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala MEETING DATE: August 26, 2013 TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution No. 13-06, Approving Easement Agreement with Lino Lakes Assisted Living, Outlot D, Village No. 3 VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 INTRODUCTION Staff is requesting Board consideration of a resolution to approve an easement agreement in favor of Lino Lakes Assisted Living, LLC across Outlot D, Village No. 3. BACKGROUND The original plans for the Assisted Living building included a new access on the southeast side of the property. This proposed access location was approximately 5 feet from a neighboring property access point and required the relocation of City utilities, a street light, and disturbance to the existing street. The existing access to the east was originally intended to serve both the Assisted Living site and the adjacent townhome property. The joint access was not considered with the approved plans because the city did not yet own the property. With the approval of the special legislation the City will soon hold fee title to the abutting property and would be in a position to grant an access easement in favor of the Assisted Living property. This would allow the driveway to be shifted and avoid the expense and disturbance associated with creating a new access point. This idea was shared with the City Council at the June 3, 2013 work session and received positive comments. Staff has prepared an agreement to accommodate the relocation of the drive. Lino Lakes Assisted Living will be responsible for all construction costs (included as part of their site development), and all ongoing maintenance of the driveway. The agreement does provide for a cost share arrangement if the driveway is used by a future owner of Outlot D. RECOMMENDATION Approve Resolution No. 13-06 ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 13-06
