MEETING AGENDA
Heritage Rooms
I. Welcome and Introduction 5:30 to 5:35 p.m.
Case welcomed the Eden Prairie School District (EPSD) Staff Leadership and School Board
Members. It’s extremely unique to have a City and school district share almost identical borders
and constituents. The City and EPSD partner on many projects including entrepreneurship
programs. The EPSD is one of the only school districts in the State where enrollment is growing.
II. City Quality of Life Community Survey Results 5:35 to 5:45 p.m.
Getschow shared a video detailing the 2024 Quality of Life survey results. The City continues to
WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 07, 2025
Page 2
be a highly desirable place to live and residents praise the quality and value of City services. The
City’s natural environment, location, and safety rank very highly. Residents rate overall quality of
City services, governance, safety, and natural environment as over 90% good or excellent. Areas
such as affordable housing, sense of community, and taxes rank lowest, but are still high relative
to peers. The full survey results are available on the City website.
III. School District Survey Results 5:45 to 6 p.m.
Swanson explained the EPSD survey was administered in July 2025. The survey administer
described Eden Prairie as a large community that operates like a small town. The EPSD has
continued to sustain exceptional survey results. 97 percent of families would recommend Eden
Prairie Schools to a friend. 99 percent of families believe the community receives a good value
from its investment in Eden Prairie Schools. 92 percent of families say the EPSD does a good job
of communicating. 97 percent of families trust the school district to do what is right. 98 percent
of families rate the education as good or excellent. 99 percent of parents say their students are
prepared for life after graduation. Other school districts are seeing opposite results. These results
cement Eden Prairie as the top school district in the metro area.
Swanson lauded EPSD staff for the excellent work completed every day. 92 percent of parents
feel engaged in the decision making process. These results are exceptional in a media landscape
often centered on disagreement. The EPSD engaged thousands of community members when
planning Flight Plan 2035. The design team worked to get community feedback on its ten year
academic vision. Community input was received in a variety of ways including World Cafes, Eagle
Voice, and Speaker Series. The six main academic areas of importance identified in Flight Plan
2035 are whole person development, adaptive and individualized learning, seamless life and
learning connections, purposeful and mindful technology, integrated outside time, and innovative
indoor and outdoor facilities. Survey results indicate community members believe in the
importance of these academic areas.
Swanson described the recent Eagle Excellence Showcase celebrating school achievements. This
event was held in partnership with the Foundation for EP Schools. 20 past graduates were

inducted into the hall of fame. The EPSD is launching a Citizens in the Schools program for
residents to learn about school district operations. The EPSD will conduct a facilities study to
determine necessary modifications over the next decade. The EPSD currently has the highest
enrollment in 15 years, a huge accomplishment. Narayanan asked why enrollment is at an all-
time high. Swanson stated it’s likely due to a multitude of factors including families moving to
Eden Prairie specifically for the school system, return of previously homeschooled students,
return of private school students, and Eden Prairie Online and open enrollment. The EPSD is one
of the only districts not currently undergoing budget cuts.
Narayanan asked for information on makeup of minority students and information on graduation
rates. Swanson noted Eden Prairie continues to diversify as a community and a school system.
The makeup of minority students has consistently been around 50 percent. 98 percent of
students either graduate or are enrolled in special education directed programming. Ross added
the EPSD has closed the achievement gap in the last ten years. Nelson asked if allowing out of
state (and out of country) students to enroll in EPOnline has helped enrollment. Swanson noted
online enrollment is helping. 800 full time and 2,000 part time students are enrolled online. Case
asked if Eden Prairie has more students coming or leaving through open enrollment. Swanson
confirmed the EPSD has a net positive for open enrollment.
IV. City-wide Demographic Trends 6 to 6:10 p.m.
Klima noted the City is required to update its comprehensive plan every ten years. Every five
years the Metropolitan Council provides updated population projections. There are moderate
population and household projection increases from 2040 to 2050. Hoffman-Bram asked what
constitutes a household. Klima confirmed both single family homes and apartment units count as
a household. The City will use these projections, along with community and school district input,
as inputs for the next comprehensive plan update. Swanson asked if the forecasted population is
broken down by age groups. Klima confirmed the census does provide detail on age, however
that information is not currently available with the government shutdown.
Narayanan asked if a housing unit increase directly results in a school enrollment increase.
WORKSHOP MINUTES
October 07, 2025
Page 4
Swanson answered a single family home will yield an enrollment of approximately 1.7 students,
while an apartment will yield approximately 0.2 students. Case noted residents are more
commonly aging in place and becoming empty nesters. At the end of the day population
projections are an estimate. Swanson confirmed the EPSD will receive more accurate data from
the State in March.
V. City Housing Development Trends 6:10 to 6:30 p.m.
Klima summarized recently approved apartment buildings. The Ellie has 239 units, of which 60
units are affordable. The north building of the Fox and the Grouse is complete with 237 units, of
which 61 units are affordable. The north building was at 95 percent occupancy in a few months.
The south building is under construction and will have 188 units of which 47 units are affordable.
The Kinsley Townhomes were recently approved, comprising of 42 owner occupied units at the
intersection of Pioneer Trail and Dell Road. Klima summarized recent infill development sites
including Lotus Villas, Three Oaks Estates, Kiwatchi addition, and Enclave at Manor Road, which in
total comprise of 45 additional single family homes.
Klima next detailed upcoming development projects. The Bluffs at Marshall Gardens will include
15 single family detached homes and 100 condo units. Chestnut Townhomes is an upcoming
project with 53 rental townhome units anticipated to move forward in 2026. A proposal is
underway to demolish an existing office building at 6436 City West Parkway and construct an
apartment building with 195 units. The City recently reguided the old Danfoss property for mixed
use. The Eden Prairie Center is another potential redevelopment site. A concept plan was shown
to the City 18 months ago, but has since been determined as economically unfeasible.
Redevelopment would likely include a residential component.
Bartz noted most new development in the City has been multifamily apartment buildings and
asked what the driving force is. Klima confirmed the City is more than 95 percent developed,
there is almost no large acreage remaining. Bartz asked if public safety data is available on
multifamily unit buildings versus single family homes. Sackett confirmed calls for service are not
out of the ordinary for multifamily buildings. Nelson noted many multifamily residents could be

October 07, 2025
Page 5
single parents or those saving for a home. Bartz asked why many renters are choosing Eden
Prairie. Narayanan theorized renters choose Eden Prairie for the highly ranked schools, parks, City
services, and low crime.
Ward-Rannow asked if the City is encouraging apartment units with more bedrooms. Families are
often living in rentals longer than previous generations as the age of a first-time home buyer has
increased. Klima answered the City works with developers to advocate for more 3 bedroom units.
Casper asked why developers choose to offer multifamily units as apartments and not condos.
Case stated the Marshall Gardens condos are offered at a beginning price point of $900
thousand. There will likely never be another affordable single family home built without massive
government subsidy. The City has encouraged condos where practical, but apartments are often
the only housing style that can be offered affordably. Klima added the City’s housing stock is
younger, so there are very few homes torn down and rebuilt as other communities are
experiencing.
Ward-Rannow asked if the City can accommodate the extra traffic from large apartment
buildings. Klima confirmed the City completes a traffic study for every development project. Case
added City infrastructure is prepared for a population of 85 thousand.
Case thanked members of the school board and school staff for attending the City Council
workshop meeting. Casper noted his appreciation for the collaborative relationship between the
City and School District.

stated limits.
B. Licensee Property Insurance. Licensee must keep in force during the Term and
any Renewal Term a policy covering damages to Licensee’s Facilities at the Property. The amount of coverage must be sufficient to provide for replacement of the damaged Facilities, damages resulting from loss of use, and must comply with any ordinance, statutory, or legal requirements. This policy must waive all subrogation rights against the

the first day of the Renewal Term, the denominator of which is the CPI-U for the month that is three months prior to the first day of this License Agreement. If the CIP-U is discontinued, comparable statistics on the purchasing power of the consumer dollar
published by the U.S. Department of Labor or its successors as designated by Licensor will
be used for making the computations in this paragraph. In the event the same base period (1982-1984 Equals 100) used in computing the CPI-U is changed, the figures used in making the adjustment will accordingly be changed so that the changes in the CIP-U are taken into account with the same mathematical results notwithstanding any change in the
base period. In the event of any other changes in the CIP-U, Licensor will designate a comparable calculation to be used for the calculations of this paragraph.
F. Additional Insured. The insurance policies naming Licensor required by this Paragraph 8 must be issued by a company (rated A+ or better by Best Insurance Guide) licensed to do business in the State of Minnesota and must include the City of Eden Prairie as an additional insured.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Resolution of Support for House File 2505 and Senate File 2162
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to: Adopt Resolution of Support for House File 2505 and Senate File 2162
SUMMARY
Cities across the metro area recognize the need for safer, more context-sensitive street designs
that prioritize safety for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and drivers.
However, current state standards governing Municipal State Aid (MSA) roadways often restrict
municipalities from implementing designs that would assist in better addressing the safety
needs of our walking and biking community.
Senate File 2162 was introduced in the legislature which would grant municipalities greater
flexibility and authority to design MSA roadways to meet local safety, mobility, and livability
goals. Granting local design control will allow cities like Eden Prairie to implement proven
safety measures such as narrower vehicle lanes, protected pedestrian crossings, traffic calming
infrastructure, and other human-centered street designs.
This resolution expresses the City Council’s support for the proposed legislation which would
enhance our ability to better design roadways for the context in which they exist.

Minnesota Legislature to adopt this important legislation during the upcoming session;
2. The City Council calls on state agencies and elected officials to recognize and empower local jurisdictions to implement street designs that promote safety, equity, sustainability, and community well-being;
3. The City Council reaffirms its commitment to creating a transportation network in Eden Prairie that protects and serves all residents, regardless of age, ability, or mode of travel; ADOPTED by the Eden Prairie City Council on October 21, 2025.

Adopt Resolution Endorsing Funding Application for the Dell Road Improvements IC 17-5990
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to: Adopt Resolution Endorsing Funding Application for the Dell Road Improvements, IC
17-5990
SUMMARY
The Local Road Improvement Program (LRIP) is a funding program for capital construction
costs. The Dell Road project is a strong candidate for this funding under the Routes of Regional
Significance Account, which is one of three types of accounts with a specific intent for the type
of local road projects that can be considered for the program. The resolution provides the
City’s endorsement of the application and its commitment to fund the project if selected. This is
the second solicitation the City has applied for.
The MnDOT State Aid for Local Transportation Office administers the LRIP with guidance from
the LRIP Advisory Committee. Project grants are approved by the Committee to provide funding
assistance to local agencies for construction, reconstruction or reconditioning projects. A
maximum of $1,500,000 may be requested for a project and leveraged with other funding
sources. LRIP funding does not require any local match and grants are paid on a reimbursable
basis (Local agency finances 100% of project cost up front and submits for reimbursement as
costs are incurred). Based on the project requirement components including; operations and
safety, regionally significance, functionally classification of a major collector, part of an
economic development plan and connection to a county road, this project is a good candidate
for funding approval.
If this project is successful in receiving a grant award it will be used to help fund the Dell Road
Improvements. These improvements have been studied and expected for years due to the
deficient characteristics of the corridor, the ongoing city maintenance required on the gravel
road section and the expectation of development adjacent and around this corridor.
Funding sources expected to be used to leverage potential grant funding are the City’s
Municipal State Aid account, utility funds and special assessments.

Approve Professional Services Agreement with Bolton & Menk, Inc. for the Low Salt City Center
Project (IC #25822)
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to: Approve Professional Services Agreement with Bolton & Menk, Inc. for the Low Salt
City Center Project
SUMMARY
THE PROBLEM
Chloride pollution is a growing concern for surface water and ground water in cold climates.
Chloride is considered a permanent pollutant, not easily removed from lakes, creeks, rivers and
aquifers once it is present. Eden Prairie has been a leader in municipal chloride reduction
through centralized, lime-based water softening and Smart Salting training for our winter
maintenance crews. However, chloride levels in surface and ground water continue to rise. New
approaches are required to ensure safety while reducing chloride application.
LOW SALT CITY CENTER PROJECT
Eden Prairie’s City Center requires salt use to ensure employee and customer safety in icy
conditions. A lack of appropriate snow storage leads to meltwater sheet draining through drive
aisles and parking spots, necessitating additional salt application during and after winter
precipitation events. Thaw and refreeze cycles of meltwater result in additional deicer
applications not tied to precipitation events. The meltwater problem is exacerbated by a lack of
stormwater catch basins in localized low spots throughout the parking lot. This results in sheet
flow for long distances before meltwater is intercepted, allowing melt water to refreeze.
Eden Prairie’s Low Salt City Center project will significantly reduce chloride application while
improving winter safety for employees and visitors. This will be accomplished by incorporating
low salt design strategies including removing unneeded impervious surface, improving snow
storage, installing additional infrastructure to intercept meltwater, and incorporating
permanent stormwater treatment BMPs. As an educational tool, the project will demonstrate
the practical application of Low Salt Design principles, which are an emerging form of green
infrastructure for chloride reduction in cold weather climates.
IMPACT
Eden Prairie’s Low Salt City Center will directly reduce chloride pollution to Purgatory Creek by
reducing application within its watershed and promote chloride pollution reduction to other
water bodies in Eden Prairie through its public education and outreach components. The
project will also incorporate stormwater treatment BMPs which will reduce pollutant loading to
Staring Lake, which is impaired for nutrients.
FUNDING
The Professional Services Agreement with Bolton & Menk includes design, survey work and
bidding at a not-to-exceed cost of $104,000.00. Most of the work will be paid from the
Stormwater Utility Fund. Facilities will contribute $12,000.00 from the Facilities operating
budget for survey work on the remainder of the City Center parcel and Fire Station 1.
In April 2025, the City received a $425,000 Chloride Reduction Grant from the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency to help fund design and construction. Additional funds are anticipated
from Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District and Lower Minnesota River Watershed
District.

Subcontractor. The Consultant shall not enter into subcontracts for services provided
under this Agreement except as noted in the Scope of Work, without the express written consent of the City.

penalties from the Consultant shall be awarded its costs and disbursements, including
attorney's fees, incurred in bringing the action. 10. Independent Consultant. Consultant is an independent contractor engaged by City to perform the services described herein and as such (i) shall employ such persons as it shall
deem necessary and appropriate for the performance of its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement, who shall be employees, and under the direction, of Consultant and in no respect employees of City, and (ii) shall have no authority to employ persons, or make purchases of equipment on behalf of City, or otherwise bind or obligate City.

Page 6 of 10 (rev. 6/2024)
obligations assumed by Consultant under this Agreement except with respect to the liability for loss or damage resulting from the negligence or fault of anyone other than
the Consultant or others for whom the Consultant is legally liable.
l. Consultant agrees to maintain all coverage required herein throughout the term of the Agreement and for a minimum of two (2) years following City’s written acceptance of the Work.
m. It shall be Consultant’s responsibility to pay any retention or deductible for the coverages required herein. n. All policies shall contain a provision or endorsement that coverages afforded
thereunder shall not be cancelled or non-renewed or restrictive modifications added,
without thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the City, except that if the cancellation or non-renewal is due to non-payment, the coverages may not be terminated or non-renewed without ten (10) days’ prior notice to the City. o. Consultant shall maintain in effect all insurance coverages required under this
Paragraph at Consultant’s sole expense and with insurance companies licensed to do business in the state in Minnesota and having a current A.M. Best rating of no less than A-, unless specifically accepted by City in writing. p. A copy of the Consultant’s Certificate of Insurance which evidences the compliance with this Paragraph, must be filed with City prior to the start of Consultant’s Work. Upon request a copy of the Consultant’s insurance declaration page, Rider and/or Endorsement, as applicable shall be provided. Such documents evidencing Insurance shall be in a form acceptable to City and shall provide satisfactory evidence that Consultant has complied with all insurance requirements. Renewal
certificates shall be provided to City prior to the expiration date of any of the required policies. City will not be obligated, however, to review such Certificate of Insurance, declaration page, Rider, Endorsement or certificates or other evidence of insurance, or to advise Consultant of any deficiencies in such documents and receipt thereof shall not relieve Consultant from, nor be deemed a waiver of, City’s right to enforce the
terms of Consultant’s obligations hereunder. City reserves the right to examine any policy provided for under this paragraph. q. Effect of Consultant’s Failure to Provide Insurance. If Consultant fails to provide the specified insurance, then Consultant will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
City, the City's officials, agents and employees from any loss, claim, liability and expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses of litigation) to the extent necessary to afford the same protection as would have been provided by the specified insurance. Except to the extent prohibited by law, this indemnity applies regardless of any strict liability or negligence attributable to the City (including sole negligence) and regardless
of the extent to which the underlying occurrence (i.e., the event giving rise to a claim which would have been covered by the specified insurance) is attributable to the negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission (including breach of contract) of
Page 7 of 10 (rev. 6/2024)
Consultant, its subcontractors, agents, employees or delegates. Consultant agrees that this indemnity shall be construed and applied in favor of indemnification. Consultant
also agrees that if applicable law limits or precludes any aspect of this indemnity, then
the indemnity will be considered limited only to the extent necessary to comply with that applicable law. The stated indemnity continues until all applicable statutes of limitation have run.
If a claim arises within the scope of the stated indemnity, the City may require Consultant
to: i. Furnish and pay for a surety bond, satisfactory to the City, guaranteeing performance of the indemnity obligation; or ii. Furnish a written acceptance of tender of defense and indemnity from
Consultant's insurance company.
Consultant will take the action required by the City within fifteen (15) days of receiving notice from the City. 12. Indemnification. Consultant will defend and indemnify City, its officers, agents, and
employees and hold them harmless from and against all judgments, claims, damages, costs and expenses, including a reasonable amount as and for its attorney’s fees paid, incurred or for which it may be liable resulting from any breach of this Agreement by Consultant, its agents, contractors and employees, or any negligent or intentional act or omission performed, taken or not performed or taken by Consultant, its agents, contractors and
employees, relative to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant’s obligation to defend the City will not apply to claims covered by Consultant’s professional liability insurance. City will indemnify and hold Consultant harmless from and against any loss for injuries or damages arising out of the negligent acts of the City, its officers, agents or employees.
13. Ownership of Documents. All plans, diagrams, analyses, reports and information generated in connection with the performance of the Agreement (“Information”) shall become the property of the City, but Consultant may retain copies of such documents as records of the services provided. The City may use the Information for its purposes and the
Consultant also may use the Information for its purposes. Use of the Information for the purposes of the project contemplated by this Agreement (“Project”) does not relieve any liability on the part of the Consultant, but any use of the Information by the City or the Consultant beyond the scope of the Project is without liability to the other, and the party using the Information agrees to defend and indemnify the other from any claims or liability
resulting therefrom. 14. Mediation. Each dispute, claim or controversy arising from or related to this agreement shall be subject to mediation as a condition precedent to initiating legal or equitable actions by either party. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the mediation shall be in accordance
with the Commercial Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association then currently in effect. A request for mediation shall be filed in writing with the American Arbitration Association and the other party. No legal or equitable action may be instituted
Page 8 of 10 (rev. 6/2024)
for a period of 90 days from the filing of the request for mediation unless a longer period of time is provided by agreement of the parties. Cost of mediation shall be shared equally
between the parties. Mediation shall be held in the City of Eden Prairie unless another
location is mutually agreed upon by the parties. The parties shall memorialize any agreement resulting from the mediation in a mediated settlement agreement, which agreement shall be enforceable as a settlement in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Ms. Lori Haak
Water Resources Coordinator
City of Eden Prairie

Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Re: Eden Prairie’s Low Salt City Center
City’s Project number IC 25822
Dear Lori,
Bolton & Menk, Inc. is pleased to provide this proposal for professional services related to the
improvements and sitework at the Eden Prairie City Center. We understand the project will include
improving overall drainage patterns and reducing snowmelt across pavement areas, resulting in chloride
reduction and improved winter safety.
As the first Low Salt Design demonstration site partially funded by the state of Minnesota, we are
honored to be teaming up with Eden Prairie for this historic project.
We understand that the City Center parking lot is a high profile and heavily used location. It is the entry
to your city operations and the interface between you and the people of your community. Our goal is to
make it much safer in the winter for those who work at and visit your building.
As the first Low Salt Design Demonstration site in Minnesota, we have budgeted more funds to be used
in an iterative preliminary design phase, so we may work through different design approaches to for this
site. As you know, winter considerations are many and they may compete with other desirable
features, even the city code. These design discussions are imperative in this landmark project to set
expectations and produce the best overall result for Eden Prairie and the best showcase for a Low Salt
Design demonstration project.
Bolton & Menk takes great pride in the development of public spaces. We understand the importance
of each design phase (SD, DD, and CD), seeking approval to proceed to each subsequent phase upon
approval of project scope and corresponding site work budgets. Each level of design will see an increase
in the level of detail and design refinement.
Bolton & Menk, Inc. proposes the following work program to accomplish the project in an efficient,
thorough manner which will satisfy the needs and objectives of the City of Eden Prairie and their project.

not been included in the fee and the Client agrees to reim-
burse BMI for any costs associated with required restora-
tion work.
D. Standard of Care: Professional services provided un-
der this Agreement will be conducted in a manner con-
sistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised
by members of BMI’s profession currently practicing under
similar conditions. BMI makes no warranties, expressed
or implied, or otherwise with respect to any services per-
formed or furnished.
E. Certifications: Any certification provided by BMI is a
professional opinion based upon knowledge, information,
and beliefs available to BMI at the time of certification.
Such certifications are not intended as and shall not be con-
strued as a guarantee or warranty. BMI shall not be re-
quired to certify the existence of conditions whose exist-
ence BMI cannot reasonably ascertain.
F. Utilities: Unless otherwise explicitly stated in the
proposal, if utility surveys are included in scope of services,
utilities will be located from available utility records, utility
company locates and surface evidence of underground im-
provements. Some subsurface improvements may not be
disclosed by such methods and Client assumes responsibil-
ity for exploratory excavations and other work to assure
utility locations. BMI assumes no liability for matters aris-
ing from subsurface utilities that vary from locations de-
picted on previous plans or locates provided by Client or
utility companies.
G. Project Approval: Due to site limitations, code inter-
pretation, regulatory reviews, political considerations, and
Client directed design and improvements; BMI makes no
representations as to acceptability or approvability of the
project, or, zoning requests, permit applications, site and
development plans, plats and similar documents. Client’s
obligation for payment of fees owed BMI is not contingent
upon project approval.
H. Opinions or Estimates of Project Costs: Where in-
cluded as part of project scope or otherwise, opinions or
estimates of project cost will generally be based upon pub-
lic construction cost information. Since BMI has no control
over the cost of labor, materials, competitive bidding pro-
cess, weather conditions and other factors affecting the
cost of construction, all cost estimates are opinions for gen-
eral information of the Client and BMI does not warrant or
guarantee the accuracy of construction cost opinions or es-
timates. Project financing should be based upon actual,
contracted construction costs with appropriate contingen-
cies.
I. Construction Phase Services: Client is notified that
BMI shall not be responsible for means, methods, tech-
niques, sequences, or procedures of construction selected
by any contractor employed on the project nor for the
safety precautions or programs incident to the work of any
contractor.
J. Ownership and Alteration of Documents: All docu-
ments, including reports, drawings, field data, notes, plans,
specifications and documents or electronic media pre-
pared or furnished by BMI under this agreement remain
the property of BMI. Upon payment of all amounts owed,
the Client is granted a limited license to BMI’s submittals
for Client’s reasonable use and to make and retain copies
for such use. However, BMI’s submittals are not intended
for reuse by the Client or third parties on other projects or
alteration by others without the written consent of BMI.
Terms of Proposal –Limited General Scope MN Page 2 of 2 4
Electronic media may be furnished for convenience of Cli-
ent; however, only signed and certified paper copies of
submittals may be relied upon as documentation of profes-
sional services provided.
K. Billings and Payments: Invoices for BMI’s services
shall be submitted, at BMI’s option, either upon comple-
tion of such services or on a monthly basis. Unless credit
to Client is approved, payment is due upon receipt of ser-
vices and deliverables. If, at sole discretion of BMI, credit
is advanced to Client, invoices shall be due and payable
within 30 days after the invoice date. If the invoice is not
paid within 30 days, BMI may, without waiving any claim or
right against the Client, and without liability whatsoever to
the Client, terminate the performance of its services. BMI
reserves the right to withhold any deliverables until all un-
paid fees are paid in full. Amount of retainer (if applicable)
will be applied to amount owed on final invoice.
L. Late Payments: Accounts unpaid 30 days after the in-
voice date will be subject to a monthly service charge of
1.5% on the unpaid balance. If any portion or all of an ac-
count remains unpaid 60 days after billing, the Client shall
pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney
fees.
M. Waiver: To the fullest extent permitted by law, Client
and BMI waive against each other, and the other’s employ-
ees, partners, officers, agents, insurers, and subcontrac-
tors, claims for or entitlement to special, incidental, indi-
rect, or consequential damages arising out of, resulting
from, or any way related to this Agreement, from any cause
or causes. Client waives claims against BMI individual em-
ployees and agrees any claim, demand or suit shall be as-
serted only against the BMI corporate entity.
N. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: In recognition of the rela-
tive risks, rewards, and benefits of the project to both the
Client and BMI, the risks have been allocated such that
the Client agrees that BMI’s total liability to the Client for
any and all injuries, claims, losses, expenses, damages or
claimed expenses arising out of the performance of this
agreement from any cause or causes, shall not exceed to-
tal compensation paid to BMI. Such claims include, but
are not limited to, BMI’s negligence, errors, omissions,
strict liability, breach of contract, or breach of warranty.
O. Certificates of Insurance: BMI will maintain, at its ex-
pense, statutory worker’s compensation insurance cover-
age, automobile liability insurance, commercial general lia-
bility insurance and professional liability coverage for
claims arising from bodily injury, death or property damage
which may arise from the negligent performance by BMI or
its employees. BMI will, upon request, furnish Certificates
of Insurance documenting terms of coverages. BMI will not
be required to extend coverages beyond those which are
usual and customary for similar firms practicing similar sur-
veying and engineering services unless BMI is reimbursed
for additional premium expenses.
P. Dispute Resolution: Any claims or disputes made dur-
ing or after the performance of services between BMI and
the Client, with the exception of claims by BMI for non-pay-
ment of services rendered, shall first be submitted to me-
diation for resolution prior to initiating any other legal pro-
ceedings.
Q. Agreement: If the Proposal is accepted, the Client and
BMI will enter into an Agreement incorporating the accom-
panying Proposal, these Terms and such additional terms
and conditions as may be mutually acceptable to BMI and
Client. In the absence of a separate, executed written
agreement, the accompanying Proposal and these Terms
of Proposal shall constitute the whole and complete agree-
ment between BMI and the Client.
R. Termination of Services: The Agreement created un-
der Paragraph Q may be terminated by the Client or BMI
should the other fail to perform its obligations hereunder;
or, by BMI if the presence of an unknown or undisclosed
federally, state or locally regulated hazardous material is
encountered. In the event of termination, the Client shall
pay BMI for all services rendered to the date of termina-
tion, all reimbursable expenses, and reimbursable termina-
tion expenses.
S. Withdrawal of Proposal: This Proposal constitutes a
non-binding offer to perform services and BMI reserves the
right to withdraw or modify this proposal, without liability
to the Client, at any time prior to receipt of written ac-
ceptance from the Client and execution of a signed agree-
ment in accordance with Paragraph Q.
T. LIEN RIGHTS: Pursuant to the representations by the
CLIENT in this Agreement and improvements to be made
to the project property, BMI reserves the right to file a lien
against the project property in the event of delinquent or
non-payment of monies owed to BMI by the CLIENT. In
accordance with Minnesota law, the CLIENT and PROJECT
PROPERTY OWNER are hereby advised:
“(a) Any person or company supplying labor or ma-
terials for this improvement to your property may file a
lien against your property if that person or company is not
paid for the contributions.
(b) Under Minnesota law, you have the right to pay
persons who supplied labor or materials for this improve-
ment directly and deduct this amount from our contract
price, or withhold the amounts due them from us until
120 days after completion of the improvement unless we
give you a lien waiver signed by persons who supplied any
labor or material for the improvement and who gave you
timely notice.”

SCOPE OF WORK
Topographic Survey
Bolton and Menk, Inc. will complete the scope of work in c ompliance with the items identified on the attached
Exhibit B (Topographic Survey Specifications). The
proposed survey limits are identified in the attached
Exhibit A (Survey Limits). The additional topographic survey will be combined
with the previous topographic survey completed by
Bolton & Menk, Inc. for the Eden Prairie Police Facility
Additions & Alterations project (survey dated June 21,
2024, last revised July 29, 2025) and will cover an
additional portion of property address 8080 Mitchell
Road (PID: 1611622140004) and all of property address

ASSUMPTIONS
This proposal is based upon the following assumptions:
• Bolton & Menk, Inc. maintains professional services
and Errors and Omissions insurance. A certificate of
insurance can be provided upon request.
• We will not provide information regarding depth of
underground utility lines (except storm and sanitary
lines), pressure of water or gas lines, buried tanks, or
septic fields on the properties unless that information
is provided by the client. We do not have the
knowledge or expertise to derive that information
reliably. Bolton & Menk, Inc. will work with the
client to hire sub consultants to acquire this information if necessary. • Bolton & Menk staff will only acquire invert
elevations that can be measured without entering
confined space (manholes, underground tanks, etc.) structures. • We will only delineate all individual trees by its
general type (deciduous or coniferous) but will not
provide English or botanical names for each tree.
Wooded areas will be outlined.
• Engineering and surveying services not specifically
identified herein are not part of this proposal.
• Any additional studies, tasks, or coordination (e.g.,
wetland delineation, environmental or
archaeological studies, permit applications, meetings
representing the client, etc.) not explicit in the
proposed Scope of Work will be performed by
others or as additional services.
• The scope of services provided above is inclusive of
all tasks offered under this contract and fee. Parties
agree that additional understandings that conflict
with this document (including oral agreements) must
be negotiated in writing.
• Bolton & Menk, Inc. will place a Minnesota Gopher
One Call request for field markings and maps and
subcontract with a private utility locator prior to
field work beginning; utilities shown will be based
on visual observation, utility company markings,
private locator markings, or plans made available to
Bolton & Menk will be graphically shown on the
survey map. Those utilities not visible or marked as
a result of the Gopher One Call request or private
utility locate request will not be shown. FEES Bolton & Menk, Inc’s hourly not-to-exceed fee for the above-described Scope of Work is $24,000 (Note: Estimated fee above includes $1,225 for a private utility locate and $125 for additional title work.) SCHEDULE Bolton & Menk, Inc. has the staff to meet any reasonable time frame. (Note: Gopher State One Call provides 4 business days for utility companies to mark their utilities in the field along with
15 business days for utility companies to send us their utility maps. The request for maps will be submitted after the field
marking request clears.)

Re: Pavement Evaluation Proposal
City of Eden Prairie 2027-2029 Pavement Rehabilitation Program
Eden Prairie, MN
AET Proposal No. P-0046592
Dear Ms. Swanson,
American Engineering Testing (AET) is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Eden
Prairie for pavement evaluation services for the 2027-2029 pavement rehabilitation program. In
this proposal, we present our understanding of the project, an outline of the scope of services
we are to provide, and an estimate of charges for our services.
PURPOSE
The purpose of these services is to explore pavement conditions and thicknesses at the site in
preparation for the upcoming rehabilitation program by collecting cores, base samples, and
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data. Based on our characterization of the data obtained
from our field exploration, we will prepare a report presenting our findings and provide
recommendations for rehabilitation of the roadways.
PROJECT INFORMATION
We understand the city of Eden Prairie (the City) is planning for pavement rehabilitation to
approximately 33.1 miles of roadways. Planned rehabilitations encompass 96 roads City
provided GIS data. The project roadways encompass residential streets, residential arterials,
and business access thoroughfares with traffic counts of up to 8800 AADT.
We understand the City is planning to use a combination of Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) and
2 to 3.5-inch Mill and Overlay (M&O) to rehabilitate roadways as shown in the City provided
PDF map but is open to other recommendations based on the findings of our investigation.

AET Proposal No. P-0046592

SCOPE OF SERVICES
You have requested the following scope of services:
Field Exploration
Pavement Cores
We are planning to perform one pavement core approximately every 750 feet, with a minimum
of one core collected per road. At each core location we will hand auger to the bottom of the
base layer or to a maximum depth of 18” to obtain sample of material for analysis.
Prepare a proposed coring location map for your review. We are planning to
strategically place the cores in areas that will limit the disruption of traffic while obtaining
the appropriate data.
Obtain 217, 4-inch diameter pavement cores spaced at approximately 750 feet. On two
lane roads, cores will typically alternate lanes. On four lane roads, cores will typically be
collected from outermost drive lanes.
We will perform a hand auger at each core location to the bottom of the base material or
up to a maximum depth of 18 inches from the top of pavement.
Obtain samples of the aggregate base for classification.
Photograph the pavement surface where the core was obtained.
Measure the downhole depth of the bituminous pavement and base at each core
location.
Record the GPS coordinates of the core location with sub-meter accuracy.
Backfill the boreholes and patch the surface with bituminous cold mix that comply with
state requirements.
Even after backfilling, some sloughing of the backfill may occur, resulting in a potential tripping
hazard to pedestrians. We assume the owner will backfill and repair any boreholes that may
slough after our exploration is complete. AET cannot accept any liability associated with
pedestrian injury.
GPR Testing
We plan to collect ground penetrating radar (GPR) scanning of each segment along with a
digital video log (DVL) of the pavement surface. We will perform a GPR survey in each lane of
travel along each of the identified roadway segments. The data will be collected at a rate of
about 2 scans per foot, using a 2 GHz antenna and GSSI Roadscan equipment, which allows
material layer measurements at depths of up to 18 inches. The GPR data collection system is
linked to GPS coordinates.

AET Proposal No. P-0046592
Page 3 of 6
Traffic Control
We assume traffic control will be needed for roads with over 1000 AADT, or where sight lines
and traffic speeds warrant it. This amounts to approximately 17.3 miles of roadway. Traffic
control would be in place on these roads for coring operations. We assume that this traffic
control will be provided by the City as previously discussed.
Laboratory Testing
We will measure each core for total length to the nearest 0.1 inch and document the overall
condition of the core including stripping severability. Photographs of the cores will be taken
adjacent to a ruler. We will classify the collected base samples according to the USCS and
AASHTO classification procedures and plan to perform several gradations on the material.
Report & Recommendations
Upon completion of the field exploration and laboratory testing, we will prepare a pavement
recommendation report, which will include the following:
1. An outline of our understanding of the proposed work.
2. Descriptions of the sampling, testing, and classification methods.
3. Figures illustrating the final test locations.
4. Analysis of the GPR data for surface and possible aggregate base (if discernable)
thicknesses.
5. Pavement core log reports including a visual description of the core condition,
photographs, measurements and final GPS coordinates of the locations.
6. Review of encountered pavement and soil conditions, including pertinent engineering
properties.
7. Discussion of pavement conditions, specific potential problem areas identified by the
test results and collected data, and other issues related to the roadways.
8. Discussion of potential rehabilitation methods including full depth reclamation and mill
and overlay. Other rehabilitation strategies such as stabilized full depth reclamation or
cold in-place recycling will be considered.
SCHEDULE
Weather permitting and based on our current backlog, we anticipate the field work can begin
within about four to six weeks following notice to proceed. The core sampling will take
approximately ten to fifteen days to complete. GPR will take approximately two days to
complete. Laboratory testing can be completed about two weeks after completion of the field
services. The report should be submitted within eight weeks following the field exploration.

Winter weather may be cause for significant delays in testing schedules. GPR cannot be
performed if roads are snow or ice covered. Coring can be performed in winter but will be
slowed by doing so.
FEES
The base scope of services defined above will be performed on a time and materials basis for
an estimated fee of $86,150 in accordance with the attached fee estimate.
In the event the scope of our services needs to be revised due to unanticipated conditions or
for further evaluation, we will review such adjustments and the associated fees with you; and
receive your approval before proceeding.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Lease between the City and Jillian Davis for a bookstore business at the Dorenkemper property.
The lease term is for two years and can be renewed for a longer term if the business is
successful. Ms. Davis will take possession of the property in January and expects to open the
bookstore April 1, 2026.
REQUESTED ACTION
Approve lease between the City and Jillian Davis for the Dorenkemper property.
SUMMARY
Eden Prairie resident, Jillian Davis, approached the City last year to inquire about the possibility
of operating a bookstore in one of the City’s historical properties. After touring the
Dorenkemper cabin, she felt it could be good fit for a bookstore provided a bathroom is added
to the house. Since then, the City has moved forward with plans for an addition to the cabin
including a bathroom, updated HVAC, and other related improvements to help make it suitable
for a business.
Jillian has been working closely with Kathie Case and the EP Historical Society to determine
which historical items will stay in the cabin. She will also work closely with the Parks
Department to coordinate outdoor bookstore events when the Riley Jacques Barn is not in use
and parking is available.

LEASE
By this Lease Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises as
set forth and described on the Reference Page. The Reference Page, including all terms defined
thereon, is incorporated as part of this Lease.
1. TERM.
1.1 Landlord shall tender possession of the Premises on January 1, 2026 (“Tender
Date”). This Lease shall begin on April 1, 2026 (“Commencement Date”).
1.2 This Lease shall have a term of two (2) years, beginning on the Commencement
Date and ending on April 30, 2028 (“Termination Date”).
2. RENT – ANNUAL RENT AND PERCENTAGE RENT.
2.1 Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord percentage rent in the amount of ten percent
(10%) of Gross Sales (“Percentage Rent”). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within
ten (10) days after the end of each calendar month, a written statement of
Tenant’s Gross Sales for the preceding month. Each such monthly statement shall
be in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and shall include a breakdown of
all sales by category. Landlord will calculate the Percentage Rent due and send
monthly invoices to Tenant for such Percentage Rent, which will be due fifteen
(15) days after the date of invoice (“Quarterly Installment of Rent”). If the annual
Gross Sales statement described in Section 2.4 reveals the need for an adjustment
in Percentage Rent for the preceding year, Tenant will pay any additional
Percentage Rent due within thirty (30) days after the end of that Lease year and
any excess Percentage Rent shall be credited against Tenant’s next due
Percentage Rent payment, except in the last Lease Year wherein any excess shall
be refunded to Tenant.
2.2 Tenant recognizes that late payment of any rent or other sum due under this Lease
will result in administrative expense to Landlord, the extent of which additional
expense is extremely difficult and economically impractical to ascertain. Tenant
therefore agrees that if rent or any other sum is not paid within ten (10) days of
its due date and payable pursuant to this Lease, a late charge shall be imposed in
an amount equal to the greater of (a) Fifty Dollars ($50.00), or (b) a sum equal to
five percent (5%) per month of the unpaid rent or other payment. The amount of
the late charge to be paid by Tenant shall be reassessed and added to Tenant's
obligation for each successive monthly period until paid. The provisions of this
Section 2.2 in no way relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay rent or other
payments on or before the date on which they are due, nor do the terms of this
2
Section 2.2 in any way affect Landlord's remedies pursuant to Article 17 of this
Lease in the event said rent or other payment is unpaid after date due.
2.3 Gross Sales Defined: Tenant's “Gross Sales” is defined to mean the total dollar
value of all sales and rentals of merchandise or services arising out of or payable
on account of the business conducted in, on or from the Premises by or on account
of Tenant or any sublessee, assignee, licensee or concessionaire of Tenant for cash
or credit, including all orders for merchandise taken at or sold from the Premises,
including online sales, and including any fees, such as membership fees. Gross
Sales shall exclude the following: (i) proceeds from any sales tax, gross receipts tax
or similar tax, by whatever name called, (ii) bona fide transfers of merchandise
from the Premises to any other stores or warehouses of Tenant that are not
intended to avoid a sale at the Premises, (iii) refunds given to customers for
merchandise purchased at the Premises and returned or exchanged, and (iv) sales
of Tenant's fixtures and equipment not in the ordinary course of Tenant's
business.
2.4 Tenant’s Books and Records: Tenant shall keep at the Premises or at its principal
office within the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area, a full and accurate set of
books and records adequately showing the amount of Tenant's Gross Sales in each
Lease Year. Within thirty (30) days after the close of each Lease Year, Tenant shall
furnish to Landlord a statement certified by an officer of Tenant setting forth the
amount of Tenant's Gross Sales during the preceding Lease Year. All Gross Sales
statements to be supplied by Tenant to Landlord shall be in such form and with
such detail as Landlord shall reasonably deem necessary. Landlord shall have the
right, at any time once per Lease Year upon ten (10) business days' written notice,
to inspect or audit the sales records of Tenant (including the books and records of
any concessionaire, subtenant or licensee). If Tenant's Gross Sales exceed those

standards imposed by any duty with respect to the injury or damage; (b) the conduct or
management of any work or thing whatsoever done by the Tenant in or about the

insurance policy or policies to protect the Landlord against any liability to the

months of income.
10.2. Each of the aforesaid policies shall (a) be provided at Tenant’s expense; (b) name
the Landlord as an additional insured; (c) be issued by an insurance company with
a minimum Best’s rating of “A:VII” during the Term; and (d) provide that an
insurance company with said insurance shall not be canceled unless thirty (30)
days prior written notice (ten days for non-payment of premium) shall have been
9
given to Landlord; and said policy or policies or certificates thereof shall be
delivered to Landlord by Tenant upon the Commencement Date and at least thirty
(30) days prior to each renewal of said insurance.
10.3. Whenever Tenant shall undertake any alterations, additions or improvements in,

penalties and surcharges or the like pertaining thereto and any maintenance charges for
such utilities. If any such services are not separately metered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay
all such charges determined by Landlord, in its sole discretion, to be reasonable. Any such
charges paid by Landlord and assessed against Tenant shall be immediately payable to
Landlord on demand and shall be additional rent hereunder. Landlord shall not be liable
for any interruption or failure of utility services on or to the Premises unless the
interruption or failure of service is caused by the negligence or intentional act of Landlord
or any of Landlord’s officers, directors, employees, or agents.

Tenant shall pay Landlord for each day Tenant retains possession of the Premises or part
thereof after termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise at the then market
rental value of the Premises as determined by Landlord assuming a new lease of the
Premises of the then usual duration and other terms, prorated on a daily basis (“Holdover
Rate”), and also pay all damages sustained by Landlord by reason of such retention. If
Landlord gives notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to that effect, such holding over
shall constitute renewal of this Lease for a period from month to month at the Holdover
Rate, but if the Landlord does not so elect, no such renewal shall result notwithstanding
acceptance by Landlord of any sums due hereunder after such termination; and instead,
a tenancy at sufferance at the Holdover Rate shall be deemed to have been created. In
any event, no provision of this Article 13 shall be deemed to waive Landlord’s right of
reentry or any other right under this Lease or at law.
13. SUBORDINATION.
10
Without the necessity of any additional document being executed by Tenant for the
purpose of effecting a subordination, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times
to ground or underlying leases and to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust now or
hereafter placed on, against or affecting the Premises, Landlord’s interest or estate in the
Premises, or any ground or underlying lease, provided, however, that; (i) if the lessor,
mortgagee, trustee, or holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust agrees not to
materially disturb Tenant or Tenants use of the Premises or Tenant’s rights hereunder and
so long as no event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) if the lessor,
mortgagee, trustee, or holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust elects to have Tenant’s
interest in this Lease be superior to any such instrument, then, by notice to Tenant, this
Lease shall be deemed superior, whether this Lease was executed before or after said
instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and
deliver upon demand such further instruments evidencing such subordination or
superiority of this Lease as may be required by Landlord.
14. REENTRY BY LANDLORD.
Landlord reserves and shall at all times have the right to re-enter the Premises, upon
twenty-four (24) hours notice, to inspect the same, to supply any service to be provided
by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, to show said Premises to prospective purchasers,
mortgagees or tenants, and to alter, improve or repair the Premises and any portion of
the Premises, without abatement of rent, and may for that purpose erect, use and
maintain scaffolding, pipes, conduits and other necessary structures and open any wall,
ceiling or floor in and through the Premises where reasonably required by the character
of the work to be performed. Landlord may enter the Premises without notice in the
event of a burglary, fire, medical emergency, natural disaster, or other similar emergency.
Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or
interference with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the
Premises, and any other loss occasioned by any action of Landlord authorized by this
Article 15. Nothing in this Article 15 waives or shall be construed as waiving any claim by
Tenant for any negligent or intentional act of Landlord or any employee, contractor, or
agent of Landlord which in any way damages Tenant or Tenant’s rights under this Lease.
In the event that Landlord discovers a defect or other problem with the premises during
such re-entry, Landlord may correct the defect or problem and Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord on demand, as additional rent, for any expenses which Landlord may incur in
correcting the defect or problem provided that Tenant was responsible for the repair of
the defect or problem pursuant to Article 7.2 of this Lease.

12
order, judgment or decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed
within sixty (60) days from the date of entry thereof
16. REMEDIES.
16.1. Except as otherwise provided in Article 18, upon the occurrence of any of the

option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any notice or
demand whatsoever, concurrently or consecutively and not alternatively:

right to possession only, without terminating the Lease.
16.1.2. Upon any termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise,

treated as additional rent under this Lease and all other sums provided in
this Lease to be paid by Tenant, minus the fair rental value of the Premises
for such residue; (b) the value of the time and expense necessary to obtain
a replacement tenant or tenants, and the estimated expenses described in

covenants which would have otherwise been performed by Tenant.
13
16.1.4.Upon any termination of Tenant's right to possession only without
termination of the Lease:
16.1.4.1 Neither such termination of Tenant's right to possession nor
Landlord's taking and holding possession thereof as
provided in Section 17.1.2 shall terminate the Lease or
release Tenant, in whole or in part, from any obligation,
including Tenant's obligation to pay the rent, including any
amounts treated as additional rent, under this Lease for the
full Term, and if Landlord so elects Tenant shall pay
forthwith to Landlord the sum equal to the entire amount
of the rent, including any amounts treated as additional
rent under this Lease, for the remainder of the Term plus
any other sums provided in this Lease to be paid by Tenant
for the remainder of the Term.
16.1.4.2 Landlord shall use its best efforts to relet the Premises or
any part thereof for such rent and upon such terms as
Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall determine (including
the right to relet the premises for a greater or lesser term
than that remaining under this Lease, the right to relet the
Premises as a part of a larger area, and the right to change
the character or use made of the Premises). In connection
with or in preparation for any reletting, Landlord may, but
shall not be required to, make repairs, alterations and
additions in or to the Premises and redecorate the same to
the extent Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and
Tenant shall, upon demand, pay the cost thereof, together
with Landlord's expenses of reletting, including, without
limitation, any commission incurred by Landlord. Landlord
and Tenant agree that nevertheless Landlord shall at most
be required to use only the same efforts Landlord then uses
to lease premises generally and that in any case that
Landlor shall not be required to give any preference or
priority to the showing or leasing of the Premises over any
other space that Landlord may be leasing or have available
and may place a suitable prospective tenant in any such
other space regardless of when such other space becomes
available. Landlord shall not be required to observe any
instruction given by Tenant about any reletting or accept
any tenant offered by Tenant unless such offered tenant
has a credit worthiness acceptable to Landlord and leases
14
the entire Premises upon terms and conditions including a
rate of rent (after giving effect to all expenditures by
Landlord for tenant improvements, broker's commissions
and other leasing costs) all no less favorable to Landlord
than as called for in this Lease, nor shall Landlord be
required to make or permit any assignment or sub lease for
more than the current term or which Landlord would not
be required to permit under the provisions of Article 9.
16.1.4.3 Until such time as Landlord shall elect to terminate the
Lease and shall thereupon be entitled to recover the
amounts specified in such case in Section 17.1.3, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord upon demand the full amount of all
rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent
under this Lease and other sums reserved in this Lease for
the remaining Term, together with the costs of repairs,
alterations, additions, redecorating and Landlord's
expenses of reletting and the collection of the rent accruing
therefrom (including attorney's fees and broker's
commissions), as the same shall then be due or become due
from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Lease, less
only such consideration as Landlord may have received
from any reletting of the Premises; and Tenant agrees that
Landlord may file suits from time to time to recover any
sums falling due under this Article 17 as they become due.
Any proceeds of reletting by Landlord in excess of the
amount then owed by Tenant to Landlord from time to time
shall be credited against Tenant's future obligations under
this Lease but shall not otherwise be refunded to Tenant or
inure to Tenant's benefit.
16.2. Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, enter into and upon the Premises without
notice, if Landlord determines in its sole discretion that Tenant is not acting within
a commercially reasonable time to maintain, repair or replace anything for which
Tenant is responsible under this Lease and correct the same, without being
deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry and detainer
and without incurring any liability for any damage or interruption of Tenant’s
business resulting therefrom. If Tenant shall have vacated the Premises, Landlord
may at Landlord’s option re-enter the Premises at any time during the last six
months of the then current Term of this Lease and make any and all such changes,
alterations, revisions, additions and tenant and other improvements in or about
the Premises as Landlord shall elect, all without any abatement of any of the rent
otherwise to be paid by Tenant under this Lease.
15
16.3. If, on account of any Event of Default by Tenant under the terms and conditions
of this Lease, it becomes necessary or appropriate for Landlord to employ or
consult with an attorney concerning or to enforce or defend any of the Landlord’s
rights or remedies arising under this Lease, the Tenant agrees to pay all attorney’s
fees so incurred by the Landlord.
16.4. Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the
other remedies provided in this Lease or any other remedies provided by law (all
such remedies being cumulative), nor shall pursuit of any remedy provided in this
Lease constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord under this Lease
or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the
terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Lease.
16.5. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during the Term shall be deemed a
termination of this Lease or an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises, and
no agreement to terminate this Lease or to accept a surrender of said Premises
shall be valid, unless in writing signed by Landlord. No waiver by Landlord of any
violation or Event of Default of any of the terms, provisions and covenants
contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any
other violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants contained
in this Lease. Landlord’s acceptance of the payment of rental or other payments
after the occurrence of an Event of Default shall not be construed as a waiver of
such Event of Default, unless Landlord so notifies Tenant in writing. Forbearance
by Landlord in enforcing one or more of the remedies provided in this Lease upon
an Event of Default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of
such Event of Default or of Landlord’s right to enforce any such remedies with
respect to such Event of Default or any subsequent Event of Default.
17. TENANT’S BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY
17.1. If at any time and for so long as Tenant shall be subjected to the provisions of the
United States Bankruptcy Code or other law of the United States or any state
thereof for the protection of debtors as in effect at such time (each a “Debtor’s
Law”):
17.1.1. Tenant, Tenant as debtor-in-possession, and any trustee or receiver of
Tenant’s assets (each a “Tenant’s Representative”) shall have no greater
right to assume or assign this Lease or any interest in this Lease, or to sub
lease any of the Premises than accorded to Tenant in Article 9, except to
the extent Landlord shall be required to permit such assumption,
assignment or sublease by the provisions of such Debtor’s Law. Without
limitation of the generality of the foregoing, any right of any Tenant’s
16
Representative to assume or assign this Lease or to sublease any of the
Premises shall be subject to the conditions that:
17.1.1.1. Such Debtor’s Law shall provide to Tenant’s Representative
a right of assumption of this Lease which Tenant’s
Representative shall have timely exercised and Tenant’s
Representative shall have fully cured any default of Tenant
under this Lease.
17.1.1.2. Tenant’s Representative or the proposed assignee, as the
case shall be, shall have deposited with Landlord as security
for the timely payment of rent an amount equal to three
months’ estimated rent and other monetary charges
accruing under this Lease; and shall have provided Landlord
with adequate other assurance of the future performance
of the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease. Without
limitation, such assurances shall include, at least, in the case
of assumption of this Lease, demonstration to the
satisfaction of the Landlord that Tenant’s Representative
has and will continue to have sufficient unencumbered
assets after the payment of all secured obligations and
administrative expenses to assure Landlord that Tenant’s
Representative will have sufficient funds to fulfill the
obligations of Tenant under this Lease; and, in the case of
assignment, submission of current financial statements of
the proposed assignee, audited by an independent certified
public accountant reasonably acceptable to Landlord and
showing a net worth and working capital in amounts
determined by Landlord to be sufficient to assure the future
performance by such assignee of all of the Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease.
17.1.1.3. The assumption or any contemplated assignment of this
Lease or subleasing of any part of the Premises, as shall be
the case, will not breach any provision in any other lease,
mortgage, financing agreement or other agreement by
which Landlord is bound.
17.1.1.4. Landlord shall have no right under Article 9 to refuse
consent to the proposed assignment or sublease by reason
of the identity or nature of the proposed assignee or

18. QUIET ENJOYMENT.
Landlord represents and warrants that it has full right and authority to enter into this
Lease and that Tenant, while paying the rental and performing its other covenants and
agreements contained in this Lease, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the
Premises for the Term without hindrance or molestation from Landlord subject to the
terms and provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for any interference or
disturbance by other tenants or third persons, nor shall Tenant be released from any of
the obligations of this Lease because of such interference or disturbance.
19. DAMAGE BY FIRE, ETC.
19.1. In the event that the Premises is damaged by fire or other cause Landlord shall
have the option of either terminating the Lease immediately and be under no
obligation to rebuild the Premises or continue the Lease and rebuild the Premises.
Within forty-five (45) days from the date of such damage, Landlord shall notify
Tenant, in writing, of Landlord’s decision to rebuild the Premises or terminate the
Lease. If Landlord decides to rebuild the Premises, Landlord shall within forty-five
(45) days, notify Tenant of Landlord’s reasonable estimation of the length of time
within which material restoration can be made, and Landlord’s determination
shall be binding on Tenant. For purposes of this Lease, the Premises shall be
deemed “materially restored” if they are in such condition as would not prevent
or materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the purpose for which
it was being used immediately before such damage.
19.2. If the Premises can be materially restored within ninety days (90), in Landlord’s
reasonable estimation, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that
Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate abatement in rent, including any taxes
or any other Additional Rent under this Lease, from the date of such damage. Such
abatement of rent shall be made pro rata in accordance with the extent to which
the damage and the making of such repairs shall interfere with the use and
occupancy by Tenant of the Premises from time to time.
19.3. If the Premises cannot be repaired within ninety (90) days, in Landlord’s
reasonable estimation, Tenant shall have the option of giving the Landlord, at any
time within sixty (60) days after such damage, notice terminating this Lease as of
the date of such damage. In the event of the giving of such notice, this Lease shall
expire and all interest of the Tenant in the Premises shall terminate as of the date
of such damage as if such date had been originally fixed in this Lease for the
expiration of the Term.
19.4. In the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant exercises its option to terminate this
Lease, then Landlord shall repair or restore such damage, this Lease continuing in
18
full force and effect, and the rent hereunder shall be proportionately abated as
provided in Section 19.2.
19.5. Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any damage or loss by or from
fire or other cause to any panelings, decorations, partitions, additions, railings,
ceilings, floor coverings, office fixtures or any other property or improvements
installed on the Premises or belonging to Tenant. If any damage by fire or other
cause is the result of the intentional act, or negligence of Tenant, Landlord shall
be under no obligation to repair the Premises and Tenant shall be liable for any
such damages. Any insurance which may be carried by Landlord or Tenant against
loss or damage to the Premises shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying
such insurance and under its sole control.
19.6. In the event that Landlord should fail to complete such repairs and material
restoration within thirty (30) days after the date estimated by Landlord pursuant
to Section 19.1, Tenant may at its option and as its sole remedy terminate this
Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after the
expiration of said period of time, whereupon the Lease shall end on the date of
such notice or such later date fixed in such notice as if the date of such notice was
the date originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term; provided,
however, that if construction is delayed because of changes, deletions or additions
in construction requested by Tenant, strikes, lockouts, casualties, Acts of God,
war, material or labor shortages, government regulation or control or other
causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, the period for restoration,
repair or rebuilding shall be extended for the amount of time Landlord is so
delayed.
19.7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article: (a) Landlord
shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct, or restore the
Premises when the damages resulting from any casualty covered by the provisions
of this Article 19 occur during the last twelve (12) months of the Term or any
extension thereof, but if Landlord determines not to repair such damages
Landlord shall notify Tenant and if such damages shall render any material portion
of the Premises untenantable Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease
by notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s ‘ notice;
and (b) in the event the holder of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed
of trust covering the Premises requires that any insurance proceeds be applied to
such indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty (30) days after
such requirement is made by any such holder, whereupon this Lease shall end on
the date of such damage as if the date of such damage were the date originally
fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the term.
19
19.8. In the event of any damage or destruction to the Premises by any peril covered by
the provisions of this Article 19, it shall be Tenant’s responsibility to properly
secure the Premises and upon notice from Landlord to remove forthwith, at its
sole cost and expense, such portion of all of the property belonging to Tenant or
its licensees from such portion or all of the Premises as Landlord shall request.
20. EMINENT DOMAIN.
If all or any substantial part of the Premises shall be taken or appropriated by any public or
quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain, or conveyance in lieu of such
appropriation, either party to this Lease shall have the right, at its option, of giving the
other, at any time within thirty (30) days after such taking, notice terminating this Lease,
except that Tenant may only terminate this Lease by reason of taking or appropriation, if
such taking or appropriation shall be so substantial as to interfere with Tenant’s use and
occupancy of the Premises. If neither party to this Lease shall so elect to terminate this
Lease, the rental thereafter to be paid shall be adjusted on a fair and equitable basis under
the circumstances. In addition to the rights of Landlord above, if any substantial part of the
Premises shall be taken or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under the
power of eminent domain or conveyance in lieu thereof, and regardless of whether the
Premises or any part thereof are so taken or appropriated, Landlord shall have the right, at
its sole option, to terminate this Lease. Landlord shall be entitled to any and all income,
rent, award, or any interest whatsoever in or upon any such sum, which may be paid or
made in connection with any such public or quasi-public use or purpose, and Tenant hereby
assigns to Landlord any interest it may have in or claim to all or any part of such sums, other
than any separate award which may be made with respect to Tenant’s trade fixtures and
moving expenses; Tenant shall make no claim for the value of any unexpired Term.
21. SALE BY LANDLORD.
In event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Premises, the same shall operate to
release Landlord from any future liability upon any of the covenants or conditions,
expressed or implied, contained in this Lease in favor of Tenant, and in such event Tenant
agrees to look solely to the ability of the successor interest of Landlord in and to this
Lease. Except as set forth in this Article 22, this Lease shall not be affected by any such
sale and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee. If any security has been
given by Tenant to secure the faithful performance of any of the covenants of this Lease,
Landlord may transfer or deliver said security, as such, to Landlord’s successor in interest
and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with regard to said
security.
22. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.
20
Within ten (10) business days following any written request which Landlord may make
from time to time, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord or mortgagee or
prospective mortgagee a sworn statement certifying: (a) the date of commencement of
this Lease; (b) the fact that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there
have been modifications to this Lease, that this lease is in full force and effect, as
modified, and stating the date and nature of such modifications); (c) the date to which
the rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (d) the fact that there
are no known, current defaults under this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant except as
specified in Tenant’s statement; and (e) such other matters as may be reasonably
requested by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered
pursuant to this Article 22 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary or purchaser
and Tenant shall be liable for all loss, cost or expense resulting from the failure of any sale
or funding of any loan caused by any material misstatement contained in such estoppel
certificate. Tenant irrevocably agrees that if Tenant fails to execute and deliver such
certificate within such ten (10) day period Landlord or Landlord’s beneficiary or agent may
execute and deliver such certificate on Tenant’s behalf, and that such certificate shall be
fully binding on Tenant.
23. SURRENDER OF PREMISES.
23.1. Tenant shall, at least thirty (30) days before the last day of the Term, arrange to
meet Landlord for a joint inspection of the Premises. In the event of Tenant’s
failure to arrange such joint inspection to be held prior to vacating the Premises,
Landlord’s inspection at or after Tenant’s vacating the Premises shall be
conclusively deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant’s responsibility
for repairs and restoration.
23.2. At the end of the Term or any renewal of the Term or other sooner termination of
this Lease, Tenant will peaceably deliver up to Landlord possession of the
Premises, together with all improvements or additions upon or belonging to the
same, by whom so ever made, in the same conditions received or first installed,
broom clean and free of all debris, excepting only ordinary wear and tear and

Tenant’s sole cost, remove upon termination of this Lease, any and all furniture,
furnishings, movable partitions of less than full height from floor to ceiling, trade
fixtures and other property installed by Tenant, title to which shall not be in or
pass automatically to Landlord upon such termination, repairing all damage
caused by such removal. Property not so removed shall, unless requested to be
removed, be deemed abandoned by the Tenant and title to the same shall
thereupon pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale. All other
alterations, additions and improvements in, on or to the Premises shall be dealt
with and disposed of as provided in Article 6 hereof.
21
23.3. All obligations of Tenant under this Lease not fully performed as of the expiration
or earlier termination of the Term shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term. In the event that Tenant’s failure to perform prevents
Landlord from releasing the Premises, Tenant shall continue to pay rent pursuant
to the provisions of Article 13 until such performance is complete. Upon the
expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
amount, as estimated by Landlord, necessary to repair and restore the Premises
as provided in this Lease and/or to discharge Tenant’s obligation for unpaid
amounts due or to become due to Landlord. All such amounts shall be used and
held by Landlord for payment of such obligations of Tenant, with Tenant being
liable for any additional costs upon demand by Landlord, or with any excess to be
returned to Tenant after all such obligations have been determined and satisfied.
Any otherwise unused Security Deposit shall be credited against the amount
payable by Tenant under this Lease.

plant that will qualify for federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax credits pursuant to Internal
Revenue Code (IRC) Section 48 in the amount of at least 30% of the project valuation. The 2026
water utility CIP project is estimated to cost $3.6 million, which means the anticipated tax credit
reimbursed to the City will be approximately $1.1 million following the completion of the
project. Given the special and complicated nature of the tax documentation process, hiring a
specialist to ensure the City properly follows all the necessary procedures to obtain the
maximum tax credit is a prudent course of action.
Expenses incurred through this professional services agreement will be funded by the City’s
water utility capital improvement budget for this specific project.

Dear City of Eden Prairie:
Thank you for choosing Deloitte Tax LLP (“Deloitte Tax” or “our”) for tax advisory services (“Services”) for the
City of Eden Prairie (“Client”) as Client undertakes an assessment of its eligibility for the Inflation Reduction Act
(“IRA”) tax credits programs, as it relates to the 2026 Projects. This engagement letter (“Engagement Letter”)
describes the scope of Deloitte Tax Services, the respective responsibilities of Deloitte Tax and Client relating to
this engagement letter, and the fees Deloitte Tax expects to charge.
Deloitte Transactions and Business Analytics LLP (“DTBA” or “Advisory”), an affiliate of Deloitte Tax, will
participate as a subcontractor to Deloitte Tax for a portion of the Services.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Workstream 1: Develop Standard Data Requests for Contractors

source heat pump HVAC system qualified energy project. This could include, but is not limited to:
• Meet and document eligible basis
• Meet and document prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements
• Meet and document domestic content
• Meet and document beginning of construction

• A calculation of the ITC eligible basis of the system property for each applicable project;
• A calculation of the IRA incentives, including any necessary credit adders, as well as basis adjustments;
• Assistance with Client’s preparation of the relevant supporting statements and tax return elections
necessary to claim IRA incentives; and
• Assistance with pre-filing registration questions;
Workstream 2 B: Tax Memoranda or Slide Deck Documentation
Deloitte Tax will issue a tax eligibility documentation, technical tax memorandum or slide deck, analysis
supporting IRA eligibility of each selected Project. The deliverable is expected to include analysis of the following:
• A calculation of the IRA incentives, including Bonus Adders, required credit reductions, and any basis
adjustments necessary;
• An analysis of the begun construction and placed-in-service dates of the system property;
• If applicable, a summary of ITC recapture provisions; and
• Discussion of PWA and Domestic Content eligibility in reference to separate workstream deliverables.
Workstream 3: Cost Segregation
Workstream 3 – Preliminary Cost Segregation Analysis
Cost Segregation
Advisory’s cost segregation services will include a preliminary analysis of materials Client, or its representatives
make available to Advisory (e.g., design or construction drawings, purchase orders, purchase invoices,
construction contracts, and cost records) to identify and classify property for the Project.
If provided, Advisory will use the actual invoiced costs for the Project in our preliminary analysis. If actual costs
are not made available, Advisory may perform engineering takeoffs and estimate unit prices by using generally
recognized construction cost estimating sources (e.g., Marshall & Swift, R. S. Means). Advisory may also
segregate certain costs relating to electrical systems by use of the allocation method, a recognized segregation
methodology.
In performing our analyses, Advisory will preliminarily analyze costs for ITC eligibility under IRC section 48.
Advisory will prepare a list of segregated property and will quantify and document, for IRS audit purposes, the
direct costs attributable to the respective MACRS asset classes. If applicable, Advisory will distribute “soft” costs
(e.g., design, engineering, and construction management fees, contractor overhead, and profit) to the direct
costs to calculate the total capitalized basis of the respective property units. The resulting classifications of real
and personal property will be based on Advisory’s understanding of Client’s specialized business operations, the
Internal Revenue Code, Treasury Regulations, Revenue Rulings and Procedures, and court decisions. If Advisory
identifies authorities that appear to be in conflict with Client’s circumstances, the applicable authorities will be
brought to Client’s attention to assist in Client’s selection of an appropriate tax depreciation methodology.
Componentization of Building Property
Using the cost segregation analysis as a foundation, Advisory will prepare a preliminary listing of property units
and their cost basis. This listing will identify the assets at a level of detail reasonably consistent with the
requirements set forth in the final tangible property regulations (T.D. 9636) (the “Regulations”) on the
application of IRC section 263(a).
City of Eden Prairie
October [ ], 2025
Page 3 of 28
Advisory will communicate with Client throughout the engagement to assist in organizing pertinent information
helpful in responding to questions likely to be posed by the taxing authority.
Advisory will perform a preliminary cost segregation analysis of the Project based on projected capital
expenditures and will update and finalize the cost segregation as of the Project’s commercial operations date
using final costs as incurred.
Workstream 4: Domestic Content Services
Workstream 4A – Domestic Content Analysis and Report
If applicable, Deloitte Tax will prepare a document (“Report”) analyzing the eligibility of a Project to meet the
domestic content bonus credit requirements under IRC section 45(b)(9) and IRC section 48(a)(11), and
associated guidance provided in IRS Notice 2023-38. The Services are expected to include the following:
• Analyze relevant project information and cost documentation from manufacturer(s);
• Participate in meetings with Client personnel to discuss the facts and circumstances;
• Analyze the cost documentation and computations related to the Domestic Cost Percentage (portion
of relevant manufactured products costs that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the U.S.) to
analyze whether the manufactured products are expected to meet the Adjusted Percentage Rule upon
completion of construction;
• Prepare a Report that includes:
o Background on the relevant tax law;
o Summary of Project facts and circumstances;
o Methodology undertaken to analyze the data and computations;
o Analysis regarding satisfaction of requirements in Notice 2023-38; and
o Conclusion regarding domestic content analysis and associated tax credit considerations.
Client will provide any third-party cost data that is required for the computations and Deloitte Tax will rely on
such information based on satisfaction of our professional standards.
Workstream 5: Tax Compliance

• Deloitte Tax will advise Client as Client submits Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) pre-filing registration
for direct pay payment funding for the qualified projects placed in service in the tax year ended
December 31, 2026 (“Services”). Client will be responsible for gathering all information and
confirmations needed to complete the pre-filing registration.
• Once complete and approved, Deloitte Tax will prepare, on behalf of the Client the forms required and
identified (see below) to extend the due date of the Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income
Tax Return, (“990-T”) and pursue tax credits, tax deductions, bonus credits, tax benefits, and tax

Gathering Relevant Information
Deloitte Tax will advise Client as to the necessary documents required for the tax returns and will be in contact
with Client to gather the relevant tax information necessary for Deloitte Tax to prepare your tax returns.
Completeness and Accuracy of Tax Information
In preparing the return, Deloitte Tax will rely on the information that Client is supplying to be accurate and
complete to the best of Client’s knowledge. Deloitte Tax’s procedures in connection with the preparation of
Client’s tax returns do not include any procedures designed to discover errors or other irregularities in the
information that Client provides to Deloitte Tax, should any exist. Although Deloitte Tax may need to ask Client
for clarification of some of the information Client provides, Deloitte Tax will not audit or otherwise verify the
data Client submits. Deloitte Tax will, however, provide such tax assistance as Deloitte Tax finds necessary for
preparation of these returns. Since the returns will reflect the information that Client has provided to Deloitte
Tax, Client has the ultimate responsibility for their accuracy; therefore, Client should review each return carefully
before Client signs and files it.
Electronic Return Filing
Client has engaged Deloitte Tax to electronically file (“e-file”) its federal tax return. Deloitte Tax will transmit the
tax return(s) in the form of electronic file[s] as authorized by the Client. In order for Deloitte Tax to e-file Client’s
returns, Client must provide [a] signed e-file authorization[s] to Deloitte Tax at least seven (7) days prior to
transmission to the. Upon receipt of the signed e-file authorization[s], Deloitte Tax will transmit the electronic
file[s] without modification other than as necessary to resolve diagnostic or other errors generated as a result
of the transmission. The receipt of the signed e-file authorization[s] will be deemed by Deloitte Tax as
authorization by Client to e-file Client’s return[s]. Client retains responsibility for compliance with any electronic
funds transfer requirements that may apply to the payment of applicable taxes.
The Services do not include representation of the Client in administrative taxing authority proceedings. However,
Deloitte Tax would generally be willing to represent the Client in such proceedings for an additional fee that is
mutually agreed upon and formalized in a written amendment to this agreement.
Deloitte Tax will request, gather, and analyze all documents necessary to perform the prefiling registration and
tax return compliance items above, including but not limited to, documents related to qualified projects placed
in service by the Client in the tax years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024.
Workstream 5B – Ad Hoc Consulting
Deloitte Tax will be available to provide Client with ad hoc tax consulting services that do not fall within the
scope of the workstreams. Deloitte Tax will assist Client with its internal discussions and advise Client on specific
credits and incentives-related tax requirements and considerations, including preparing for and engaging in
discussions and meetings with stakeholders and management, on an as-requested basis.
City of Eden Prairie
October [ ], 2025
Page 5 of 28
In certain situations, Deloitte Tax may summarize our ad hoc advice in a memorandum that is intended solely
for Client’s internal use in analyzing its related transactions and investment(s). Such memoranda may outline
the proposed steps or tax considerations of the related transaction and summarize the potential tax
considerations. All Services will be solely for the internal use of Client to evaluate the tax consequences related
to projects and activities.
Client agrees and understands that the Services requested from Deloitte Tax include the issuance of a tax
memorandum. In that regard, Deloitte Tax will analyze the facts and circumstances necessary to issue the tax
memorandum by reviewing the relevant documents provided by Client and will, if appropriate, speak to persons
within Client who may be knowledgeable about the issues. Our tax memorandum is not intended to be a formal
opinion of potential tax consequences, and accordingly, it will contain certain conditions, which might include,
but would not necessarily be limited to, the following:
“This memorandum is not intended to be a formal opinion of the tax consequences, and accordingly, it
may not contain a full description of all the facts or a complete analysis of all relevant tax issues and
authorities. The analysis and conclusions contained in this memorandum are based on our
understanding of the facts, assumptions, information, and documents referenced herein, as well as
current tax laws and published tax authorities in effect as of the date of this memorandum, which are
subject to change. If the facts or assumptions described herein are incorrect or change, or the tax laws
change, our analysis and conclusions would likewise be subject to change. Deloitte Tax LLP assumes no
obligation to update this memorandum for any future changes in tax law, regulations, or other
authorities. This memorandum addresses only the specific tax matters and tax consequences discussed
herein and no other federal, state, or local tax matters of any kind were considered. This memorandum
is solely for Client’s benefit and may not be relied upon by any other person or entity.”
Although Deloitte Tax might in certain circumstances provide Client with draft results of the work before it
is finalized, any part of our analysis, including the recommendations or conclusions, may change between
the time of any draft results and the issuance of the final Deliverable. Client understands that Client may
not rely upon any of the analyses, conclusions, or recommendations unless and until the final Deliverable(s)
is issued.
To the extent Client and Deloitte Tax mutually agree via an Addendum to this Engagement Letter to proceed
with a tax opinion letter, Client shall indemnify and hold harmless Deloitte Tax, and any other Deloitte Entity
from all third-party Claims, except to the extent finally determined to have resulted primarily from the
intentional fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith of Deloitte Tax, or any other Deloitte Entity. In
circumstances where all or any portion of the provisions of this paragraph are finally determined to be
unavailable, the aggregate liability of Deloitte Tax and all other Deloitte Entities (including their respective
personnel) for any Claim shall not exceed an amount which is proportional to the relative fault that their conduct
bears to all other conduct giving rise to such Claim.
Although Deloitte Tax might in certain circumstances provide Client with drafts of the tax memorandum before
it is finalized, Client understands that Client may not rely upon any of the analysis, conclusions, or
recommendations unless and until the final tax memorandum is issued. Any part of our analysis, including the
recommendations or conclusions may change between the time of any draft and the issuance of a final tax
memorandum.
It is contemplated that the Services requested from Deloitte Tax may include oral and written advice, consulting,
recommendations, and other communications rendered in response to specific tax questions posed by Client.
Deloitte Tax’s analysis of these issues may be based upon a review of the various documentation including, but
not limited to, books and records (collectively, “books and records”) relevant to Client’s transactions and
City of Eden Prairie
October [ ], 2025
Page 6 of 28
business activity that Client provides to Deloitte Tax. Deloitte Tax may ask Client to clarify or supplement
information provided in this context.
Deloitte Tax will not provide any active models or formula-driven Excel files as part of the Services. Additionally,
any updates to deliverables or analysis related to any credit recapture issues will be agreed upon as part of a
subsequent work order, as applicable.
TAX POSITIONS, POTENTIAL PENALTIES, TAXING AUTHORITY AUDITS
In accordance with our professional standards, while in the course of performing our Services should Deloitte
Tax become aware of tax return positions for which either you or Deloitte Tax may be subject to potential
penalties by taxing authorities, Deloitte Tax will discuss with you these positions including how any such penalties
may be avoided through adequate disclosures to taxing authorities. You should be aware that as a tax return
preparer, Deloitte Tax may be required to satisfy disclosure requirements that may exceed those applicable to
you. In those instances where Deloitte Tax is aware of tax return positions that may trigger an accuracy-related
tax preparer penalty under IRC sections 6662 or 6694 (or comparable state provisions), Deloitte Tax will include
in the returns we prepare the disclosures necessary to avoid such penalties.
Our Services do not include representation of you in administrative taxing authority proceedings other than
those specified as the Services and Advice (as hereinafter defined). However, Deloitte Tax would represent you
in such additional proceedings related to the Services for an additional fee that is mutually agreed upon.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND AGREEMENTS
The Services will be performed in accordance with the Statement on Standards for Consulting Services
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”). Services to be performed by
Deloitte Tax will be established by mutual agreement and can be changed or modified in the same manner.
Deloitte Tax will promptly inform Client of any circumstances that warrant a change in the scope of the specific
services to be provided, and similarly, Client agrees to notify Deloitte Tax promptly if modifications to the
Services are requested.
Client acknowledges and agrees that the Services provided pursuant to this Engagement Letter will be based
solely upon:
(a) The representations, information, documents, and other facts provided to Deloitte Tax by Client, its
personnel, and any representatives thereof;
(b) Client’s understanding that the review of documents under this Engagement Letter does not constitute an
engagement to provide audit, compilation, review, or attest services as described in the pronouncements
on professional standards issued by the AICPA or the US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(“PCAOB”);
(c) Client’s understanding that Deloitte Tax will only be responsible to provide tax advice with respect to the
specific matter, transaction or question actually presented by Client, including the type of tax and the taxing
jurisdiction specifically identified by Client (e.g., federal, foreign, state, local, sales, excise, etc.);
(d) Client’s understanding that any tax advice provided pursuant hereto will be based upon the law, regulations,
cases, rulings, and other taxing authority in effect at the time specific tax advice is provided. If there are
subsequent changes in or to the taxing authorities (for which Deloitte Tax shall have no specific responsibility
City of Eden Prairie
October [ ], 2025
Page 7 of 28
to advise Client), Client acknowledges that such changes may result in that tax advice foregoing being
rendered invalid or necessitate (upon Client’s request) a reconsideration of that prior tax advice;
(e) Client’s understanding that the results of Deloitte Tax’s tax advice may be audited and challenged by the IRS
and other tax agencies, who may not agree with our positions. In this regard, Client understands that the
result of any tax advice is not binding on the IRS, other tax agencies, or the courts and should never be
considered a representation, warranty, or guarantee that the IRS, other tax agencies, or the courts will
concur with our advice or opinion.
(f) Client’s understanding that Deloitte Tax, as a result of providing such tax advice, is under no obligation to
represent Client with respect to any such challenge or an administrative or judicial challenge thereof.
Deloitte Tax would generally be available to represent Client before the appropriate taxing authorities, if

not (i) engage in direct communications with any federal, state or local government officials or employees

government officials or employees will be present, if such activities would require lobbyist registration for
Deloitte Tax or any of its personnel under applicable laws and regulations in any applicable jurisdiction;
(h) Client acknowledges that Deloitte Tax is not providing legal services under the terms of this engagement,
and any advice or recommendation provided under this engagement should not be relied on as legal advice.

legal advice in connection with these matters
Deloitte Tax will follow its internal work paper retention policy with respect to this engagement. Client’s
permanent records will consist of reports and deliverables defined above and delivered during this engagement.
INCREASED FEES DUE TO CHANGE IN SCOPE OF SERVICES OR NEW ISSUES, INCLUDING CHANGES RELATED TO
THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) has altered numerous areas of the Internal Revenue Code. Updated
regulations and other guidance continue to be released related to the IRA, which could continue to have a
significant impact on Client Party’s current and future federal, state, and local tax obligations. As the full impact
of the 2022 IRA on Client Party’s overall tax situation and this engagement continues to evolve, the scope of our
Services may need to change. In the event there is a mutually agreed upon change in the scope of our Services,
whether related to the continuing impact of the IRA or for any other reason (e.g., other items that would impact
the amount of time incurred to perform the Services as currently contemplated), it may be necessary to discuss
a change in our fee estimate with you. Our fees for such out-of-scope services will generally be based on the
amount of professional time incurred and our agreed-upon hourly rates, which vary depending upon the
experience level of the professionals involved. Deloitte Tax will bring these items to Client Party’s attention and
will discuss the associated additional fees for such out-of-scope services prior to proceeding.
ACCESS TO INDIVIDUALS AND DATA
Client will be responsible for responding to information requests issued by Deloitte Tax in a timely manner and
will assist Deloitte Tax with obtaining access to the individuals necessary to complete these Services. In order to
City of Eden Prairie
October [ ], 2025
Page 8 of 28
ensure the timely completion of our Services, Deloitte Tax recommends that Client identify a Project Champion
who will be responsible for assisting Deloitte Tax with facilitating these Services.
COMMITMENT OF CLIENT PERSONNEL & MANAGEMENT BUY-IN
In order to provide the Services, the reasonable, but full, cooperation of the necessary technical, cost accounting,
and financial personnel is crucial. Experience indicates that inadequate support of the Services by Client
personnel will result in Client sustaining substantially less benefit than if Client’s personnel provide complete
assistance. The necessary tax, accounting, and technical personnel must be willing to dedicate the time to meet
with the Deloitte Tax professionals and assist with follow-up issues as requested. Securing buy-in for the Services
from the relevant Client management is critical in encouraging company personnel to support this engagement.
Experience indicates that a tax advisory engagement will be more successful if all appropriate levels of
management support the Services and dedicate the needed resources.
OTHER MATTERS
Client agrees and acknowledges that the Services may include advice and recommendations, and that Deloitte
Tax shall have no responsibility for decision making and the implementation of such advice and
recommendations. Client shall be solely responsible for, among other things: (a) making all management
decisions and performing all management functions; (b) designating a competent member of management to
oversee Deloitte Tax’s services hereunder; (c) evaluating on behalf of the Client the adequacy and results of such
services; (d) accepting responsibility for the results of such services; and (e) establishing and maintaining internal
controls, including, without limitation, monitoring ongoing activities.
CONSENT FOR DISCLOSURE AND USE OF TAX RETURN INFORMATION
Client authorizes that any and all information (i) furnished to Deloitte Tax for or in connection with the Services
under this Engagement Letter, (ii) derived or generated by Deloitte Tax from the information described in (i)
above, or (iii) associated with prior years’ tax return information in the possession of Deloitte Tax may, for a
period of up to eight (8) years from the end of the tax year to which the information relates, be disclosed to and
considered and used by any Deloitte Tax affiliate, related entity (or its affiliate) or subcontractor, in each case,
whether located within or outside the United States, engaged directly or indirectly in providing Services under
this Engagement Letter, tax planning or preparation of tax returns, audited financial statements, or other
financial statements or financial information as required by a government authority, municipality or regulatory
body. Disclosures under this paragraph may consist of all information contained in Client’s tax returns; if Client
wishes to request a more limited disclosure of tax return information, Client must inform Deloitte Tax. Client
acknowledges that Client’s tax return information may be disclosed to Deloitte Tax affiliates, related entities (or
their affiliates) or subcontractors located outside of the United States.
ESTIMATED TIMING OF SERVICES
The timing of the Deloitte Tax Services is dependent upon timely responses to our requests for information
and/or documentation, and discussions with Client’s personnel.
FEES AND EXPENSES
The Deloitte Tax fees for the Services will be billed based on the amount of professional time incurred at the
agreed-upon hourly billing rates, which vary depending upon the experience level of the professionals involved,
plus (i) reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and (ii) a separate allocation of estimated administrative and
technology costs incurred (e.g., tax technology, research materials, etc.) equal to eight (8) percent of
City of Eden Prairie
October [ ], 2025
Page 9 of 28
professional fees. Hourly rates of our Washington National Tax and other subject matter specialists may exceed
the hourly rates of our local office professionals.
The fees and expenses are not dependent upon the findings or results of the Services or the ultimate resolution
of any items with the tax authorities nor are those amounts contingent or refundable. Fees for Internal Revenue
Service (“IRS”) and/or state examination support are not included in the fees stated.
The agreed-upon hourly rates, discounted from our standard rates, are as follows:
Partner, Principal, Managing Director $525/hour
Senior Manager $425/hour
Manager $350/hour
Senior Associate $230/hour
Staff $185/hour
Deloitte Tax estimates the fees for each phase to be:
• 2026 Workstream 1: Fees for this workstream are not to exceed $20,000, which will be billed
monthly as incurred.
• 2026 Workstreams(s) 2, 3, and 6: Fees for these workstreams are not to exceed $120,000, which
will be billed monthly as incurred.
• 2026 Workstream 4: Fees for this workstream are not to exceed $70,000, which will be billed
monthly as incurred.
The balance of any remaining as well as any additional agreed to fees and/or expenses will be billed monthly
following thirty (30) days after the date of the last invoice issued, as applicable. Reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred and the allocated costs are billed as additional amounts on the dates included in the billing
schedule above.
TERMINATION AFTER COMMENCEMENT OF THE SERVICES
If Client terminates the Services after the commencement and prior to the completion of the Services, the fee
due and payable will be based upon hours incurred at our agreed-upon rates, which vary based on the level of
the Deloitte Tax personnel performing the services, for all work performed through the date of termination, plus
expenses.
IMPACT ON FEES DUE TO FAILURE TO PROVIDE REQUESTED INFORMATION
Deloitte Tax assumes that Client will provide timely and complete information as requested. In the event that
Client is unable to provide requested information in a manner suitable to perform our services by agreed-upon
deadlines, Deloitte Tax may incur additional time necessary to analyze the required information or perform a
portion of our services, resulting in an increase to our overall fees. To the extent the charges for these additional
services will exceed 10% of the overall fees for this engagement, Deloitte Tax will inform Client prior to incurring
such additional time.

expressly provided herein, any member firm of DTTL, has any liability for each other’s acts or omissions. Each
member firm of DTTL is a separate and independent legal entity operating under the names “Deloitte”, “Deloitte
& Touche”, “Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu” or other related names; and services are provided by member firms or
their subsidiaries or affiliates and not by DTTL.
2. Responsibilities of the Client and of Deloitte Tax.
(a) Responsibilities of the Client
(i) The Client shall cooperate with Deloitte Tax and its Subcontractors in connection with the performance of
the Services, including, without limitation, providing Deloitte Tax and its Subcontractors with reasonable facilities
and timely access to data, information and personnel of the Client. The Client shall be responsible for the
performance of its personnel and third parties retained by the Client, for the timeliness, accuracy and
completeness of all data and information (including all financial information and statements) provided to
Deloitte Tax and its Subcontractors by or on behalf of the Client and for the implementation of any Advice
provided. Deloitte Tax and its Subcontractors may use and rely on information and data furnished by the Client
or others without verification. The performance of the Services is dependent upon the timely performance of
the Client’s responsibilities under the Contract and timely decisions and approvals of the Client in connection
with the Services. Deloitte Tax and its Subcontractors shall be entitled to rely on all decisions and approvals of
the Client.
(ii) The Client shall be solely responsible for, among other things: (A) making all management decisions,
performing all management functions and assuming all management responsibilities; (B) designating one or
more individuals who possess suitable skill, knowledge, and/or experience, preferably within senior
management to oversee the Services; (C) evaluating the adequacy and results of the Services; (D) accepting
responsibility for implementing the results of the Services; and (E) establishing and maintaining internal controls,
including, without limitation, monitoring ongoing activities. The provisions in the preceding sentence are not
intended to and do not alter, modify or change in any manner the duties and obligations of Deloitte Tax as
agreed to and set forth in this Contract. With respect to the data and information provided by the Client to
Deloitte Tax or its Subcontractors for the performance of the Services, the Client shall have all rights required to
provide such data and information and shall do so only in accordance with applicable law and with any
procedures agreed upon in writing.
(b) Responsibilities of Deloitte Tax
(i) The Services provided are not binding on tax or other governmental or regulatory authorities or the courts
and do not constitute a representation, warranty, or guarantee that the tax or other governmental or regulatory
authorities or the courts will concur with any Advice. Any Services provided by or on behalf of Deloitte Tax will
be based upon the law, regulations, cases, rulings, and other tax authority in effect at the time the specific
Services are provided. Subsequent changes in or to the foregoing (for which Deloitte Tax shall have no
responsibility to advise the Client) may result in the Services provided by or on behalf of Deloitte Tax being
rendered invalid.
(ii) Except as specifically agreed to in writing, Deloitte Tax shall not provide Advice regarding the financial
accounting treatment of any transaction implemented from the Services and will not assume any responsibility
for any financial reporting with respect to the Services. Deloitte Tax shall have no responsibility to address any
legal matters or questions of law, other than tax law in relation to the Services.
(iii) In formulating any Advice as part of the Services, Deloitte Tax may discuss ideas with the Client orally or
show the Client drafts of such Advice. To the extent that the content of drafts or oral Advice are expected to be
finalized and confirmed to the Client in writing, such confirmed Advice shall supersede any previous drafts or
oral Advice and Deloitte Tax shall not be responsible if the Client or others choose to rely on, act or refrain from
acting on the basis of any drafts or oral Advice.
(iv) Deloitte Tax will use its reasonable endeavors, acting in a commercially prudent manner, to carry out the
Services in accordance with any timetable specified in the Contract. However, it is agreed that any dates
specified in the Contract for the performance of any part of the Services, including delivery of any Advice, are
estimated dates for planning purposes only. Deloitte Tax will notify the Client promptly if it expects or encounters
any significant delays which will materially affect achievement of any timetable for delivery of the Services.
(v) Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, each item of Advice will be deemed accepted (and the Services
or relevant part completed) when such Advice has been delivered in its final form and no material objection to
the Advice or its content is notified by the Client to Deloitte Tax in writing within fourteen (14) days of delivery
or when first use of the Advice is made by or on behalf of the Client, whichever occurs first.
3. Payment of Invoices.
Deloitte Tax’s invoices are due and payable by the Client upon presentation. If payment of an invoice is not
received within thirty (30) days of the invoice date (“Due Date”), Deloitte Tax reserves the right to charge interest
at the rate of (i) 1½% per month or, if higher, (ii) the rate mandated or allowable by law, in each case
compounded monthly to the extent allowable by law. Without limiting its other rights or remedies, Deloitte Tax
shall have the right to suspend or terminate the Services entirely or in part if payment is not received by the Due
Date. The Client shall be responsible for all taxes, such as VAT, sales and use tax, gross receipts tax, withholding
tax, and any similar tax, imposed on or in connection with the Services, other than Deloitte Tax’s income and
property taxes. If any portion of an invoice is disputed, the Client shall notify Deloitte Tax within fifteen (15) days
of receipt of the disputed invoice and pay the undisputed portion of that invoice by the Due Date.
4. Term.
(a) This Contract or any Work Order hereunder, may be terminated in whole or in part by either party at any
time, without cause, by giving written notice to the other party not less than thirty (30) days before the effective
date of termination.
(b) Either party may terminate this Contract or any Work Order hereunder in whole or in part by written notice
to the other on or at any time after the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a material breach by the
other party of an obligation under the Contract or any respective Work Order hereunder and, if the breach is
capable of remedy, the defaulting party failing to remedy the breach within 30 days of receipt of notice of such
breach; (ii) the other party becomes insolvent or goes into liquidation; (iii) the other party has a resolution passed
or a petition presented for its winding-up or dissolution (other than for the purpose of a solvent amalgamation
or reconstruction); (iv) the making of an administration order in relation to the other party, or the appointment
of a receiver over, or an encumbrancer taking possession of or selling, an asset of the other party; (v) the other
party making an arrangement or composition with its creditors generally or making an application to a court of
competent jurisdiction for protection from its creditors generally; (vi) the other party has violated any statutes,
ordinances, rules, or regulations pertaining to such party in the provision or receipt of Services under this
Contract; or (vii) any event analogous to those set out in (ii) to (v) in any relevant jurisdiction.
(c) Deloitte Tax may terminate this Contract or any Work Order hereunder in whole or in part, with immediate
effect upon written notice to the Client if Deloitte Tax determines that (i) a governmental, regulatory, or
professional entity, or other entity having the force of law has introduced a new, or modified an existing, law,
rule, regulation, interpretation, or decision, the result of which would render Deloitte Tax’s performance of any
part of the Contract illegal or otherwise unlawful or in conflict with independence or professional rules; or (ii)
circumstances change (including, without limitation, changes in ownership of the Client or of its affiliates) so
that Deloitte Tax’s performance of any part of the Contract would be illegal or otherwise unlawful or in conflict
with independence or professional rules.
(d) Upon termination of the Contract or any Work Order hereunder for any reason, the Client will compensate
Deloitte Tax in accordance with the terms of the Contract for the Services performed and expenses incurred
through the effective date of termination.
(e) Termination of any part of the Contract shall not affect the remainder of the Contract. These General
Business Terms shall continue to apply to any Work Order in force that has not itself been terminated in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraphs 4(a), (b) or (c).
5. Ownership of Deloitte Property & Work Products.
(a) To the extent that any property (whether tangible or intangible) of any Deloitte Entity is used or developed
in connection with this Contract, such property, including work papers, shall remain the property of the relevant
Deloitte Entity. Subject to payment of all of Deloitte Tax’s fees due in connection with the Services and this
Contract, the Client shall obtain a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use any
Advice for the purpose set out in the Contract (or in the Advice) and in compliance with the provisions of this
Contract. Deloitte Tax shall have ownership (including, without limitation, copyright and other intellectual
property ownership) of the Advice and all rights to use and disclose its ideas, concepts, know-how, methods,
techniques, processes and skills, and adaptations thereof in conducting its business, and the Client shall ensure
that it and its subsidiaries and/or affiliates do not assert or cause to be asserted against any Deloitte Entity any
prohibition or restraint from so doing. Any intellectual property and other proprietary rights in the material and
data provided by the Client for performing the Services shall remain the property of the Client.
(b) Deloitte Tax and its Subcontractors, in connection with performing the Services, may develop or acquire
general experience, skills, knowledge and ideas. Any Deloitte Entity may use and disclose such experience, skills,
knowledge and ideas subject to the obligations of confidentiality set out in Paragraph 10.
(c) The Client shall also be entitled to have access to and use of those Deloitte Technologies supplied solely for
the purposes of receiving the Services, and for no other purposes, in accordance with and subject to the
provisions of the terms of use and licenses that may be applicable to such Deloitte Technologies as notified by
Deloitte Tax and agreed by the Client (acting reasonably). Client shall be responsible for all personnel (including
other third parties, such as advisors) that Client and Deloitte Tax have agreed shall have access to the Deloitte
Technologies in connection with the Services. As between the Client and Deloitte Tax, and for the benefit of the
respective Deloitte Entity owning the Deloitte Technologies, Deloitte Tax and/or the respective Deloitte Entity
will own and retain ownership of all intellectual property rights and other proprietary rights of any kind in the
Deloitte Technologies that are used or developed in connection with this Contract.
(d) To the extent any Deloitte Technologies provided to Client hereunder constitute inventory within the
meaning of section 471 of the Internal Revenue Code, such Deloitte Technologies are licensed to Client by
Deloitte Tax as agent for Deloitte Tax Products Company LLC on the terms and conditions contained herein. The
rights granted in this Paragraph 5 do not apply to any intellectual property that is subject to a separate mutually
executed license agreement between Client and any third party (including Deloitte Tax’s affiliates).
(e) “Deloitte Technologies” means all know-how and software, system interfaces, templates, methodologies,
ideas, concepts, techniques, tools, processes, Content and technologies, including cloud-based technologies and
algorithms owned by, licensed to or developed by any Deloitte Entity and used by Deloitte Tax and its
Subcontractors in performing the Services or its other obligations.
6. Limitations on Damages.
(a) Deloitte Tax shall not be liable to the Client for any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses
arising under or in connection with the Contract (“Claims”) for an aggregate amount in excess of the fees paid
under the Contract, or the fees paid under a particular Work Order for Claims arising under such Work Order,
by the Client to Deloitte Tax, for that part of the Services giving rise to the Claim, except to the extent it is finally
determined to have resulted primarily from the intentional fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith of Deloitte
Tax, any Deloitte Entity or any Subcontractor retained for providing the Services to the Client.
(b) In no event shall any Deloitte Entity (including Deloitte Tax and its Subcontractors) be liable whether in
contract, tort or otherwise for any losses incurred as a result of loss of use, contracts, data, goodwill, revenues
or profits (whether or not deemed to constitute direct Claims) or any consequential, special, indirect, incidental,
punitive or exemplary loss, damage, or expense arising under or in connection with the Contract.
(c) In circumstances where all or any portion of the provisions of this Paragraph 6 are finally determined to be
unavailable, the aggregate liability of Deloitte Tax, any other Deloitte Entity (including Subcontractors) and their
respective personnel for any Claim shall not exceed an amount which is proportional to the relative fault that
their conduct bears to all other conduct giving rise to such Claim.
(d) Deloitte Tax’s responsibility for the Services is solely toward the Client identified in the Contract or Advice
to be entitled to rely on the Services, and not toward any other subsidiary or affiliate of the Client. If more than
one Client subsidiary or affiliate is a party to the Contract or is identified in the Contract, Deloitte Tax’s
responsibility is solely toward the Client for whose benefit the Services were provided.
(e) The liability cap in Paragraph 6(a) applies in aggregate to each and all Claims which from time to time arise
under or in connection with the Contract and the Services, whether such Claims are made at the same or
different times or by the Client entity and/or other persons. The liability cap in Paragraph 6(a) also applies to any
and all Claims against any other Deloitte Entities, including the Subcontractors, if and only to the extent that it
is judicially determined that any of them have any liability under or in connection with the Contract or the
Services.
(f) If the liability exclusion for other Deloitte Entities provided in Paragraph 1(d) is for any reason not effective,
then the limitations on liability provided for in this Paragraph 6 shall apply to the other Deloitte Entities (including
Subcontractors) as if they were named therein.
(g) The provisions of Paragraph 6 shall not apply to any liability which by the governing law of the Contract is
unlawful to limit or exclude.
7. Limitation on Warranties.
THIS IS A SERVICES AGREEMENT. DELOITTE TAX WARRANTS THAT IT SHALL PERFORM THE SERVICES IN GOOD
FAITH AND WITH DUE PROFESSIONAL CARE AND SKILL. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DELOITTE
TAX DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
8. Force Majeure.
Neither party shall be liable for any delays or nonperformance resulting from circumstances or causes beyond
its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts or omissions or the failure to cooperate by the other
party (including, without limitation, entities or individuals under its control, or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, other personnel and agents), fire or other casualty, act of God, epidemic, strike or labor
dispute, war or other violence, or any law, order, or requirement of any governmental agency or authority.
9. Limitation on Actions.
No action, regardless of form, relating to the Contract or the Services, may be brought by either party more than
two years after the cause of action has accrued under applicable law, except that an action for non-payment of
Deloitte Tax’s invoices by the Client may be brought at any time.
10. Confidentiality.
(a) To the extent that, in connection with the Contract, Deloitte Tax comes into possession of any tax or other
information related to the Services, trade secrets or other proprietary information relating to the Client which
is either designated by the disclosing party as confidential or is by its nature clearly confidential (“Confidential
Information”), Deloitte Tax shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party without the Client’s
consent. The Client hereby consents to Deloitte Tax disclosing such Confidential Information (i) to contractors
providing administrative, infrastructure, hosting, cloud-based solutions and other support services to Deloitte
Tax as well as to any Deloitte Entity (including any Subcontractors) and their respective personnel, in any case,
whether located within or outside of the United States, provided that such contractors and Subcontractors
adhere to confidentiality obligations similar to those in this Paragraph 10; (ii) to Client’s legal advisors, auditors,
and insurers; and (iii) as may be required by law, regulation, judicial or administrative process, or in accordance
with applicable professional standards, or in connection with potential or actual mediation, arbitration or
litigation. To the extent permitted by applicable law or regulation, Deloitte Tax shall provide the Client with
prompt written notice of disclosures required by law, regulation, judicial or administrative process. The
obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to the extent such Confidential Information (A) is or becomes publicly
available (including, without limitation, any information filed with any governmental agency and available to the
public) other than as the result of a breach by Deloitte Tax; (B) becomes available to any Deloitte Entity on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the Client which Deloitte Tax reasonably believes is not
prohibited from disclosing such Confidential Information to Deloitte Tax by an obligation of confidentiality to the
Client; (C) is known by any Deloitte Entity prior to its receipt from the Client without any obligation of
confidentiality; or (D) is developed by any Deloitte Entity independently of Confidential Information disclosed by
the Client.
(b) The Client shall not disclose to any third party any Advice without the express written consent of Deloitte
Tax, except (i) disclosure may be made to the extent mandatory laws, applicable regulations, rules and
professional obligations prohibit limitations on disclosure; (ii) if the Client or its affiliates have securities
registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any Deloitte Entity is the auditor of
the Client or any of its affiliates, in which case no restrictions or limitations are placed by Deloitte Tax on the
Client’s disclosure of the tax treatment or tax structure associated with the tax Services or transactions
described in the Contract and the Client acknowledges that none of its other advisors has imposed or will impose
restrictions or limitations with such tax treatment or tax structure; (iii) to the extent the United States Internal
Revenue Code and applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance relating to confidential tax shelters (or
comparable law or guidance from other taxing authorities in other jurisdictions) apply, in which case there are
no restrictions or limitations on the disclosure of the tax treatment or tax structure; (iv) to the extent legislation
or regulations of any jurisdiction provide for the reporting to the tax authorities of certain tax arrangements or
transactions, there shall be no restrictions or limitations on the disclosure of any such arrangements or
transactions provided as part of the Advice; (v) the Client may disclose the Advice on a need to know basis to
any affiliate that is not a member of the Client for information purposes only, provided that the Client ensures
and the recipient undertakes to keep such Advice confidential and not to bring any claim of any kind against any
Deloitte Entity in relation to the Advice or the Services; (vi) on a need to know basis to statutory auditors of the
Client in their capacity as such; and (vii) as required by the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minn.
Stat. Ch. 13, provided that Client shall provide reasonable notice to Deloitte Tax prior to any such disclosure.
(c) The Client shall use the Advice, solely for the purposes specified in the Contract or Advice and, without
limitation, shall not, without the prior written consent of Deloitte Tax, use any Advice, in connection with any
business decisions of any third party or for advertisement purposes. All Services are intended only for the benefit
of the Client identified in the Contract or Advice as being entitled to rely on the Advice. The mere receipt of any
Advice (or any information derived therefrom) by any other persons is not intended to create any duty of care,
professional relationship or any present or future liability of any kind between those persons and Deloitte Tax.
11. Assignment.
Neither party may assign or otherwise transfer this Contract without the prior express written consent of the
other. Neither party will directly or indirectly agree to assign or transfer to a third party any Claim against the
other party arising out of this Contract.
12. Indemnification.
(a) Deloitte Tax shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Client and its elected and appointed officials, and
employees from all Claims attributable to claims of third parties solely for bodily injury, death, or physical
damage to real or tangible personal property, to the extent directly and proximately caused by the negligence
or intentional misconduct of Deloitte Tax while engaged in the performance of the Services.
(b) Deloitte Tax shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Client and its elected and appointed officials, and
employees from all Claims attributable to claims of third parties for infringement by a Deliverable of any U.S.
patent existing at the time of delivery and known to Deloitte Tax or copyright or any unauthorized use of any
trade secret, except to the extent that such infringement or unauthorized use arises from, or could have been
avoided except for (i) modification of the Deliverable other than by Deloitte Tax or its Subcontractors, or use
thereof in a manner not contemplated by the Work Order, (ii) the failure of the indemnified party to use any
corrections or modifications made available by Deloitte Tax, (iii) information, materials, instructions,
specifications, requirements, or designs provided by or on behalf of the indemnified party, or (iv) the use of the
Deliverable in combination with any platform, product, network, or data not provided by Deloitte Tax. If Client’s
use of any such Deliverable, or any portion thereof, is or is likely to be enjoined by order of a court of competent
jurisdiction as such an infringement or unauthorized use, Deloitte Tax, at its option and expense, shall have the
right to (x) procure for Client the continued use of such Deliverable, (y) replace such Deliverable with a non-
infringing Deliverable, or (z) modify such Deliverable so it becomes non-infringing; provided that, if (y) or (z) is
the option chosen by Deloitte Tax, the replacement or modified Deliverable is capable of performing
substantially the same function. In the event Deloitte Tax cannot reasonably procure, replace, or modify such
Deliverable in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, Deloitte Tax may require Client to cease
use of such Deliverable and refund the professional fees paid to Deloitte Tax with respect to the Services giving
rise to such Deliverable. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of
the indemnified parties, and the sole and exclusive obligation of Deloitte Tax, relating to a claim that any of
Deloitte Tax’s Deliverables infringes any patent, copyright, or other intellectual property right of a third party.
13. Electronic Communications.
(a) Except as instructed otherwise in writing, Deloitte Entities and the Client are authorized to receive properly
addressed fax, e-mail (including e-mails exchanged via Internet media) and voicemail communication for both
sensitive and non-sensitive documents and other communications concerning this Contract, as well as other
means of communication used or accepted by the other. Deloitte Entities may also communicate electronically
with tax and other authorities.
(b) It is recognized that the internet is inherently insecure and that data can become corrupted,
communications are not always delivered promptly (or at all) and that other methods of communication may be
appropriate. Electronic communications are also prone to contamination by viruses. Each party will be
responsible for protecting its own systems and interests and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will not be
responsible to the other on any basis (contract, tort or otherwise) for any loss, damage or omission in any way
arising from the use of the internet or from access by any Deloitte Entity personnel to networks, applications,
electronic data or other systems of the Client.
14. Other Clients.
Nothing in this Contract will prevent or restrict any Deloitte Entity, including Deloitte Tax, from providing services
to other clients (including services which are the same or similar to the Services) or using or sharing for any
purpose any knowledge, experience or skills used in, gained or arising from performing the Services subject to
the obligations of confidentiality set out in Paragraph 10 even if those other clients’ interests are in competition
with the Client. Also, to the extent that Deloitte Tax possesses information obtained under an obligation of
confidentiality to another client or other third party, Deloitte Tax is not obliged to disclose it to the Client, or use
it for the benefit of the Client, however relevant it may be to the Services.
15. Staff.
Deloitte Tax and the Client each agree not to directly or indirectly solicit, employ or engage any personnel of the
other party who within six (6) months of such action has been involved directly with the provision of the Services
or otherwise directly connected with this Contract, except where an individual responds directly to a general
recruitment campaign.
16. Destruction of Working Papers.
Deloitte Tax may retain copies of documents and files provided by the Client in connection with the Services for
purposes of compliance with professional standards and internal retention policies. Any documents and files
retained by Deloitte Tax on completion of the Services subject to the obligations of confidentiality set forth in
Paragraph 10(a) (including documents legally belonging to the Client) may routinely be destroyed in accordance
with Deloitte Entities’ policies applying from time to time.
17. Marketing Material & Use of Name.
Neither the Deloitte Entities nor the Client shall use the other’s name, trademarks, service marks, logos, and/or
branding in external publicity material without such other party’s prior written consent.
18. Spreadsheets, Models and Tools.
In the course of providing the Services, Deloitte Tax may make reference to spreadsheets, models or tools
(together “Models”) that the Client provides to Deloitte Tax or requests Deloitte Tax to rely upon (“Client
Models”) or that Deloitte Tax otherwise uses in connection with the Services (“Deloitte Models”). All Models
have limitations and may not produce valid results for all possible combinations of input data with the result
that actual and potential errors are not detected. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in the Contract: (i) Deloitte
Tax will not be responsible for reviewing, testing or detecting any errors in any Client Models; (ii) no Deloitte
Model will be provided or treated as Advice; and (iii) where Deloitte Tax provides any Deloitte Model by way of
explanation or illustration of any Advice, Deloitte Tax makes no representation, warranty or undertaking (express
or implied) of any kind about the accuracy, suitability or adequacy of any such Deloitte Model for the Client’s
own needs.
19. Data Protection.

and accounting procedures and practices of the Deloitte Tax or other parties relevant to this Contract are subject
to examination by the Client and either the Minnesota Legislative Auditor or the Minnesota State Auditor, as

completion or termination of this Contract.
21. Data Practices. This Contract is subject to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 13 (“MGDPA”). In accordance with Minn. Stat. § 13.05, subd. 11, to the extent this Contract

in performing any of the functions of the Client during performance of this Contract is subject to the
requirements of the MGDPA and Deloitte Tax and its Subcontractors shall comply with those requirements as
applicable to them in their performance of the Services. These obligations will survive the completion or

22. Counterparts and Language.
This Contract may be signed in any number of counterparts (whether such counterparts are original or fax or in
the form of a pdf attachment to an e-mail). Each signed counterpart shall be deemed to be an original thereof,
but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Where there are versions of the

that the scope of the Services may be changed by agreement of the parties in writing, including by e-mail or fax.
If Deloitte Tax has already started work (e.g., by gathering information, project planning or giving initial advice)
at the request of the Client then the Client agrees that this Contract is effective from the start of such work.

(a) Any provisions of the Contract which either expressly or by their nature extend beyond the expiration or
termination of this Contract shall survive such expiration or termination.
(b) If any provision of the Contract is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent authorities
to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, such provision or the affected part shall not affect the other provisions,
but such unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to render it enforceable,
preserving to the fullest extent permissible the intent of the parties set forth herein. Each of the provisions of
the Contract or any Work Order shall apply to the fullest extent of the law, whether in contract, statute, tort
(including without limitation negligence), or otherwise, notwithstanding the failure of the essential purpose of
any remedy. Any references herein to the term “including” shall be deemed to be followed by “without
limitation”.

City Council Agenda Cover Memo
Date: Oct. 21, 2025
Section: Public Hearing
Item Number: VIII.A.
Department: Community Development / Planning
Julie Klima / Jeremy Barnhart
ITEM DESCRIPTION
CSM is requesting approvals necessary to develop the 59.6 acres of land at the NE corner of
Valley View Road and Interstate 494 into a 157 room hotel and an 8,000 sq ft restaurant. The
hotel and restaurant will occupy 6.59 acres, the northern 53 acres will be acquired by the City
to be preserved as parks and open space. Approvals necessary include a comprehensive plan
amendment, zoning district change, preliminary plat, Planned Unit Development, and site plan.
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to:
• Close the public hearing, and
• Adopt a Resolution for a Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Medium Density
Residential, Parks and Open Space, and Office to Parks and Open Space on 53.01 acres
and Commercial on 6.59 acres; and
• Adopt a Resolution for Planned Unit Development (PUD) Concept Review on 6.59 acres;
and
• Approve the 1st Reading of an Ordinance for a PUD District Review with waivers on 6.59
acres and Zoning District changes from Rural to Parks and Open Space on 53.01 acres
and Rural to C-Regional Service on 6.59 acres; and
• Adopt a Resolution for a Preliminary Plat of one parcel into 2 lots and 1 outlot on 59.6
acres; and
• Adopt a Resolution In Support of Park Dedication Fees on 6.59 acres; and
• Direct Staff to prepare Development Agreement incorporating Staff and Commission
recommendations and Council conditions.
SUMMARY
The project involves subdividing the 59 acre parcel into two buildable lots and one outlot. One
of the two buildable lots will be improved with a 5 story, 157 room Residence Inn, the other will
be an 8,600 sq ft restaurant. The attached Planning Commission staff report provides further
detail and analysis of the project.
Comprehensive Plan
The site is currently guided for Medium Density Residential, Office, and Parks and Open Space.
With more detailed environmental information available (wetlands, steep slopes, etc.),
developable area is limited on the site. The amendment re-guides a significant portion of the
property for parks and open space, and a small portion for commercial uses near the Valley
View Road frontage.
Site Plan
Hotel
The hotel proposed is a Residence Inn and is intended to replace the existing Residence
Inn on Flying Cloud Drive. The hotel plans meet and exceed landscaping and
architectural requirements, including building materials. Wall signage is proposed and
meets the requirements of the proposed C-Regional Service zoning district.
Restaurant
The restaurant name has not yet been identified, but the site plan shows an 8,600 sq ft
restaurant building with up to 200 seats, including those in an outdoor patio. The
narrative states that the developer is marketing for a sit down restaurant. There is no
drive-thru shown.
Sustainable Features
The hotel building is subject to the City’s Sustainable Building Standards, and the building is
being designed to comply with the LEED-Silver standard. Additionally, at least 8 spaces will be
EV installed, ready, or capable at the time of occupancy. The building will be designed to
accommodate solar panels on the roof in the future.
Waivers
The development requires a number of waivers, including waivers from building height (the
hotel is proposed at 52.6 feet, where 40 feet is the maximum. Waivers are also requested for
reduced setback from School Pond (100 feet where 200 feet is required), and for vegetation
removal within the shoreland setback zone. A 4th waiver for parking setback was presented to
the Planning Commission, but the applicant adjusted the plans to negate the need for that
waiver.
Parking
The hotel and restaurant propose sharing parking spaces, as permitted by city code. A parking
analysis was completed by the applicant; the hotel’s experience shows that there is adequate
parking on site and shared with the restaurant.
Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission held their public hearing on September 22. The Planning Commission
supported the project and the waivers requested, with a vote of 5-0. The Commission heard
resident comments regarding potential impacts to an eagle’s nest, and visual impacts of the
building to properties east of Bryant Lake. Much of the building will be screened by existing
vegetation and landforms, portions of the development may be seen across the lake,
depending on various unique angles.
Additional perspectives will be shared at the meeting.
During the public hearing portion of the meeting, a resident reported seeing an eagle’s nest on
the property.
Based on the information provided by the concerned resident, the nest is thought to be located
over 1000 feet north of the developed portion of the property. Further analysis of the eagle
nest location will be required prior to the beginning of construction. Late fall and winter
months are ideal for identifying specific location of such a nest due to leaf off conditions. The
development agreement will include requirements for compliance with best practices and any
special permitting approval for preservation of the eagles’ habitat in conformance with
applicable Federal regulations.

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-___ A RESOLUTION ADOPTING FINDINGS OF FACT IN SUPPORT OF PARK DEDICATION FEES FOR VALLEY VIEW DEVELOPMENT WHEREAS, City Code Chapter 12, Section 12.40 Subd. 1 requires an owner of land being subdivided to dedicate to the public for public use as parks, playgrounds or public open space a reasonable portion of the land up to 10% thereof; and,
WHEREAS, in lieu of dedicating land, City Code Chapter 12, Section 12.40 Subd. 2; gives the City the option to require the developer to contribute an equivalent amount in cash in lieu of all or a portion of the land which the City may require such owner to dedicate in accordance with the schedule to be set by resolution of the Council;
WHEREAS, the Valley View project includes subdivision of property pursuant to City Code Chapter 12 into 2 lots, an outlot, and right of way (the “Project”); WHEREAS the payment of cash park fees in lieu of land dedication is appropriate given the nature of the use on the property;
WHEREAS, the City’s current fee ordinance sets the cash park fee at $11,500 per acre for commercial and industrial development, which amount was calculated in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 2b(c);
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing at its October 21, 2025 meeting;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE, that the following findings are hereby adopted in support of the imposition of a cash park fee in lieu of land dedication as a condition of subdivision approval for the Valley View Development project:
1. The Project does not include available land that is suitable for parkland.
2. The Project includes the construction of a hotel and restaurant. Development and occupancy of the project is expected to have an impact on the City’s parks and trail system.
3. The Project is adjacent to trails, increasing the likelihood that residents of the Project will use the City’s trails, parks, and open spaces.
4. The City improves and maintains the pedestrian and bicycle facilities for all residents
and visitors to enjoy.
5. There is an essential nexus between requiring the cash park fees for the Project and the City’s goal of providing a high-quality park system for all individuals who live, work or
visit the City, including patrons of the Project.
6. The need for parkland created by the Project is roughly proportional to the cash park fee amount required by the City’s fee ordinance. The cash park fees will be used for future anticipated park acquisition and improvement projects in the City, pedestrian and bicycle facility improvements, and other projects to improve City park and recreational facilities
that are likely to be used by patrons of the Project.
ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie this 21st day of October, 2025.

BACKGROUND
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND ZONING
The proposal includes a request to amend the Comprehensive Plan to reguide the property from
residential, parks & open space, and office to parks & open space and commercial uses. The
zoning map is also proposed to be amended, aligning the zoning with the intended use and the
Comprehensive Plan. The amendment requests to change the zoning from Rural to Parks / Open

Staff Report – Valley View Development September 22, 2025 Page 2 Tree inventories, wetland delineations, and improved mapping allow for a better understanding
of the extent of the natural features of the site. This understanding supports a land use
amendment that protects these features, while providing for commercial development on the
south third of the site.
The proposed land use of parks and open space, and commercial is more appropriate given the
city’s long term goals for the area.
Graphics illustrating these changes are included at the end of this report.
SITE PLAN
The site plan includes two buildings, a 5 story, 157 unit hotel, and a single story restaurant
building.
Hotel
The hotel building is proposed to be located on the larger lot, and include most of the parking
areas, which is located on the south, west, and north sides of the building. An access drive will
be located all around the building to support fire requirements. Primary entrance to the hotel
will be on the south side of the building, and a circular drive off of the lobby will provide off-
loading area for guests. A maintenance accessory building, transformer, and dumpster enclosure
are located to the NW corner of the building. These buildings will match the architecture and
materials of the principal building. A patio area is proposed adjacent to the lobby area. North of
Staff Report – Valley View Development September 22, 2025 Page 3 the hotel is a retaining wall, allowing for a development site while minimizing the impact to the
steep slopes and vegetation in the area.
Restaurant
The restaurant is intended to be a 200 seat, 8500 sq ft “high turnover sit down” restaurant,
though the brand has not been identified to date. There is no drive-through proposed. The
restaurant also offers a patio on the south side of the building. The restaurant site includes
parking in a lot to the north, and additional parking near the main entrance to the west.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
The preliminary plat subdivides the existing 59.6 acre parcel into 2 buildable lots, an outlot, and
2 small remnants (about 259 sq ft total) for Valley View Road Right of Way.
Lot 1 will house the hotel and is 5.27 acres. The restaurant will be located on Lot 2 and will be
1.32 acres. Both lots are sized appropriately, have street frontage, and otherwise comply with
applicable zoning and subdivision standards. The outlot will ultimately be owned by the City for
preservation purposes. The Development Agreement will include specific details regarding the
outlot.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS
The purpose of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) as stated in the City Code is to provide for a
more creative and efficient approach to the use of land within the City; to allow variety in the
types of environment available to people and distribution of overall density of population and
intensity of land use where desirable and feasible; and provide for greater creativity and flexibility
in environmental design. The applicant is requesting the following waivers:
A. Building Height – From 40’ to 52-2”.
The additional height allows for a reduced building footprint, balancing additional units
with minimal impact on the natural features and zero additional impact on views from
across the lake. The applicant has provided information that shows the buildings are not
visible from across Bryant Lake year round, even with the additional height.
Staff Report – Valley View Development September 22, 2025 Page 4
B. Parking Setback – The applicant requests a waiver for the parking setback, since the
property line between the restaurant and hotel is located between parking spaces. This
waiver supports maximizing the number of parking spaces for the restaurant site.
C. Shoreland Setback – From the 200’ Commercial Setback to 100’ from SuperValu Pond.
The reduced setbacks are proposed to accommodate the location of the building and the
parking. The applicant has proposed a plan that balances the overall parking for the site
in order to minimize impact to the shoreland area and regulations. This waiver request is
also impacted by existing bluff and wetland setbacks, and a desire to minimize tree
removals. The waiver is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of shoreland
ordinance and will not undermine the purpose of the setback due to the proposed
development conditions that will provide additional protections for the shoreland and
water quality. The stormwater management techniques and enhanced landscaping plans
will preserve and enhance the quality of public waters.
D. Shore Impact Zone – Proposal to remove vegetation from a portion of the Shore Impact
Zone along Super Valu Pond, where no vegetative removal is permitted. The shoreland
setback requirements, vegetation removal limitations, and impervious cover restrictions
around Super Valu pond greatly impacts the buildability of the subject parcel. The site’s
grading and clearing plan is intended to balance the protection of sensitive resources
including shoreline, wetlands, bluffs and floodplain with development along County
State Aid Highway. Areas disturbed will be reseeded with native vegetation.
TRAFFIC STUDY/ ACCESS
A traffic study was conducted to determine if the surrounding road system can support the new
uses on the site, or if modifications will be necessary. Access to the site is proposed along Valley
View Road (CSAH 39) at the existing signalized intersection with Market Place Drive and at a
modified access point just east of the development where Valley View Road will be reconfigured
with a three-quarter access. The three-quarter access allows ingress movements to the site from
eastbound and westbound Valley View Road with egress only allowed onto westbound Valley
Staff Report – Valley View Development September 22, 2025 Page 5 View Road. The development is expected to generate approximately 154 am peak hour, 171 pm
peak hour, and 2,176 daily trips. All trips are new since the site is currently undeveloped.
The traffic study analyzed the two intersections referenced above, as well as several other
intersections spanning from Valley View Road and Flying Cloud Drive to Valley View Road and
Plaza Drive. Turning movement counts were collected and the Level of Service (LOS), which is a
measurement of vehicle delay and intersection efficiency, were analyzed for the Build and No-
Build conditions forecasted for 2027. All study intersections are expected to operate at a LOS D
(lower threshold for overall operating conditions) or better during the weekday am and pm peak
hours, and no significant delay or queuing issues were observed. Most intersections will operate
at LOS A and B. However, the study did recommend coordination with Hennepin County should
occur to revise signal timing to improve side-street performance. Analysis from the study will be
shared with the County, and the County is currently working with MnDOT and the City on signal
timing optimization for the roadway network within Eden Prairie in 2026-27 that can account for
these changes. Construction of the three-quarter access is necessary as the County and City did
not support construction of a full access or signalized intersection for safety and traffic operations
reasons. The three-quarter access is expected to perform at an overall LOS A during weekday am
and pm peak hours.
The traffic study concluded that the surrounding roadway network can accommodate the
additional traffic from this development and still operate acceptably. Staff also recommends
internal wayfinding signage be added to aid in directing patrons to the existing signal using the
internal access road. This would help to avoid the exiting right-only vehicles from making a U-
turn on Valley View Road as noted in the neighborhood meeting.
PARKING
Parking for the hotel is based on the number of rooms, and the number of employees on the
largest shift. The hotel includes 157 rooms, and the project narrative states that there are 5
employees on the largest shift, requiring 162 parking spaces. The hotel site includes 174 parking
spaces.
Restaurant parking is based on the number of seats, and the type of restaurant. Since the
restaurant type has not yet been determined, the highest ratio of parking is used to determine
parking requirements. A type three restaurant, a sit down restaurant that serves liquor, requires
1 space per 2 seats. For a 200 seat restaurant, 100 spaces are required. There are 40 spaces
provided for the restaurant lot. The total parking requirement for the two businesses is 262
spaces, and 214 spaces are proposed.
City Code includes a provision where the parking requirement can be reduced up to 20% and
shared between two or more complimentary uses, provided the applicant can demonstrate that
there is no substantial conflict in the peak parking demand and that there is an adequate amount
of parking available. The applicant has provided a parking analysis to support the shared parking
proposal and staff supports this analysis.
Staff Report – Valley View Development September 22, 2025 Page 6 SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS
The site plan shows a cross-walk connection between the hotel and the restaurant. There is also
a cross-walk connection south of the restaurant to the property line, to proactively provide a
connection in the event that a sidewalk or trail is added along the north side of Valley View. There
is a trail along the south side of Valley View, and pedestrian access across Valley View is at the
signalized intersection.
BUILDING ARCHITECTURE AND MATERIALS
Hotel
The hotel design is driven by the Residence Inn brand requirements and city code. The lower
three floors are brick (in two colors) and the upper two floors are a combination of fiber cement
panels and stone veneer. All exterior facades meet or exceed the 75/25% class I requirement.
Overall, 80% of the facades of the hotel are class I materials of brick, stone, and glass, exceeding
the minimum standards.
Restaurant
Though the final brand for the restaurant has not yet been identified, the restaurant building is
designed to be compatible with
the general theme and
architecture of the hotel. The
developer proposes much of the
same materials as in the hotel, all
sides meet or exceed the
minimum 75/25% standards for
material, with 3 of the four sides
exceeding 79.5% class I materials.
PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT
A phase 1 assessment was completed on October 28, 2024. A phase I environmental assessment
reviews a site for potential contamination risks. Because the property is undeveloped, there
were no recognized environmental conditions for the site.
Staff Report – Valley View Development September 22, 2025 Page 7
WETLAND, SHORELAND, AND BLUFF
Wetlands, wetland setbacks, shoreland rules and regulations, and bluffs impact the northern 2/3
of the site which is proposed to be preserved through an outlot to be owned by the City.
STEEP SLOPE
The parcel contains steep slopes. City Council approval is necessary for development and grading
activities within parcels containing steep slopes, and this will be noted in the Development
Agreement.
ENDANGERED, THREATENED OR SPECIAL CONCERN SPECIES
The developer researched potential impacts to endangered, threatened, and special concerned
species. This research found the habitat on site carried the potential of endangered or
threatened species, though no direct impact was identified. These potential impacts are best
mitigated through timing of clearing and grading and other best management practices as
suggested by the results.
DRAINAGE/STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Stormwater will be managed and treated via underground containment on the north side of the
hotel before discharge into Supervalu pond. A watershed district permit will also be required. A
maintenance agreement will be required between the city, hotel, and restaurant site; this will be
addressed in the Development Agreement.
TREE LOSS AND GRADING
The site is heavily wooded, and development is proposed for the southern 1/3 of the property.
About 11% of the caliper inches on site are being removed, none of them heritage trees. There
are 88 caliper inches required to be replaced to satisfy the tree replacement requirement. This
will be satisfied as a payment-in-lieu.
LANDSCAPING AND TREE REPLACEMENT PLAN
Landscaping is based on the size of the buildings. The two buildings require 374 inches of
landscaping, which is satisfied by a variety of trees, evergreens, shrubs, and perennials.
SUSTAINABILITY
The Building Sustainability Standards will apply to the hotel building, and the developer is
designing the building to the LEED-Silver standard. The narrative indicates that 2% of the
parking (5 spaces), will be EV ready. Other sustainability standards such as solar ready
construction, and energy efficient appliances/ fixtures will be utilized.
PARK FEES
Park dedication will apply to this subdivision, to be paid at the time of building permit.
SIGNS
Both the hotel building and the restaurant will include wall and free-standing signage. Signage
shall comply with the applicable sign regulations.
Staff Report – Valley View Development September 22, 2025 Page 8 NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING AND RESIDENT INPUT
A neighborhood meeting was held on September 11th. The applicant summarized the meeting
by saying that approximately 20 residents attended. Much of the discussion focused on traffic
flow in and out of the development. Some neighbors expressed concern about vehicles leaving
the development by turning right to go west and then doing U-turns to go east. The developer
reported that some neighbors liked the idea of a ¾ intersection at the entry and the fact that
there is an access easement with the school district to get exiting cars to the full intersection to
the east. Additional directional signage indicating how to go east on Valley View through the
school district site was recommended.
Some neighbors expressed concern about the buildings being visible from adjacent
properties. Additional sightline exhibits showing more views from Bryant Lake and the views
from the west neighborhoods will be provided.

John Ferrier, Vice President of CSM Development, displayed a PowerPoint and
detailed the application. He introduced staff from the design team, Scott Cross,
current general manager of Residence Inn, and Terry Brunhagen, Principal at ESG Architects, and CSM Development Analyst John Carlen. Ferrier explained the current Residence Inn which the first-generation prototype is
built in 1984. The Inn had a separate clubhouse with amenities and also 16 8
eight-unit separated guestroom buildings. Marriott had decided this Residence Inn concept was obsolete and need to be replaced. Rather than convert the existing site to a new prototype, the Inn would remain open during construction as this was a high performing hotel.
Ferrier displayed aerial views of the site, showing nearby Bryant Lake and the surrounding context. The hotel and restaurant are proposed on 6.9 acres, a small part of the total parcel of 59.55 acres toward the south.
Waivers requested were to increase the building height from 40 feet to 52 feet two
inches; reduce the shoreline setback from 200 to 100 feet from Supervalu Pond; remove vegetation in the shore impact zone, and a parking setback reduction from 10 feet to 0 feet, because the hotel and restaurant shared parking. The parking generation study showed the hotel’s parking was underutilized even during sell-
out days.
A zoning change was requested. The current zoning was Rural, and the applicant proposed to rezone the restaurant and Residence Inn site Commercial-Regional Service. The northern undeveloped parcel would be Parks and Open Space. A
land use change was also requested, changing from office, medium high density
residential and parks and open space to commercial and parks and open space. The proposed undeveloped parks and open space was actually being increased. The office market was in sharp decline, approaching 25, and expected to reach 30 percent by 2028. There was a negative office absorption rate for 17 or 18 quarters.
Ferrier displayed the site plan showing a five-story Residence Inn with 157 keys and a restaurant. No heritage trees would be removed. The traffic study showed no significant delays, impacts or queueing issues with the proposed development. The current right-in only entrance and exit would be increased to include a left-in,
left-out. The applicant had conducted a neighborhood meeting and showed few impacts at a distance of 2,900 feet from Bryant Lake and 3,000 feet from Beach Road. There would be bluff screening and 50 acres of undeveloped land. The View Corridor
studies showed the screened view across Bryant Lake and no visibility from points on the lake. He displayed elevations and stated the materials would consist of over 75 percent Class One materials, such as brick and cultured stone, and glass. The view from 494 showed only the top of the Inn. He added he had placed

this development where it would have least impact. This was a popular hotel
brand that would be kept in Eden Prairie.
Sherwood asked for and received confirmation there would be meeting space open to residents.
Barnhart presented the staff report. A similar waiver for building height had been
approved in the past, providing feasible development while preserving slopes and adjacent water bodies. The setback waiver was in keeping with the neighboring public school building, preserving the existing features of the site, steep slopes and other natural features, and was in keeping with the overall goal of the
Ordinance. The shoreline setback staff supported for same reason. The parking
itself was not a waiver, as the number of stalls met the requirement, but Code required sharing, so this was a parking setback requirement, as the property line fell along a driveway. Staff recommended approval subject to the conditions in the staff report; there was still work to be done on small details before this came
before the City Council.
Eric Wessel, resident at 12762 Gordon Drive, asked if the Department of Fish and Wildlife had been contacted regarding the eagle’s nest he’s watched for a decade (as the DNR was not involved). He requested that a minimum foot requirement be
determined to leave the nest protected. He also asked in a town of 60,000 people
what the demand was for another hotel. He questioned the parking study’s conclusions and asked if the applicant had consulted with others in the hospitality industry.
Joe Docter, resident at 7032 Willow Creek Road, asked two questions: the
proposed lighting for the parking lot, building, and restaurant, and who would own the newly zoned parks and open space, how this would be taxed, the restrictions of further zoning, and how this development would open this property up for residents’ use. He added the elevation at the top of the proposed building
was actually 947 feet 6 inches, higher than highest peak and would be more
prominent than shown in the renderings. Barnhart replied the lighting plan requirements would not exceed 0.5-foot candles beyond the property line and this development met the Code Requirements
regarding this and light pole height (25 feet above a three-foot base). The City is working toward acquisition of the rest of the parcel of land (Outlot A) for City use. The height of the building is measured at average grade around the property to the top of parapet, and the building would be embedded into the grade, lowering the top of the building compared to the surrounding area. The true height
from the lowest grade to the top would be between 56-58 feet. The grading and elevation plans were available online, and the average grades would account for the 6-foot difference.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 22, 2025

Mark Kronbeck, of Alliant Engineering, replied the eagle’s nest was new
information to the applicants, and wished to see it on a map. Scott Cross added
the applicant was not adding a new hotel but replacing the hotel yet adding keys to market. The hotel had a 94 percent occupancy rate, so there was an absolute demand. The applicant was undecided what to do with existing hotel once the new one was built. Wessel stated there was vegetation on the trees for three months of
the year, and Docter stated from his house he would see the hotel, especially with
leaves off the trees, even above the mound. There were four or five houses that would see the hotel, especially during winter. MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Grote to close the public hearing. Motion
carried 5-0.
Kirk stated he had taken notes of the public’s comments. He commended the mention of an eagle’s nest and asked the developer to gather information to minimize impact on this nest. The site was beautiful; minimizing the impact and
maximizing the open space to be acquired by the City had great potential for
access to another park/conservation area. Keeping an existing business in Eden Prairie was ideal and an upgrade was understandable. The sightlines he considered an issue; in his many years on the commission, he saw that answers were often a compromise and not perfect.
Grote reiterated the proposed building would be built below grade and the height would not be as much as it would be if built on grade. Sherwood commended the applicant on its analysis of office demand; hospitality was rising and would continue to improve. Duncan commended the proposal for meeting a long list of
conditions to be met, and stated staff had been diligent in approach.
Duncan asked if an environmental analysis would this have caught the eagle’s nest. Barnhart replied one had been completed; a nest was not flagged, and staff and the applicant would work together to address this. He added the lighting plan
would be part of the Exhibit B plans presented to the City Council. There was
presently no restaurant tenant. Ferrier stated the applicant would start marketing to secure a restaurant tenant once the development was approved. Kirk stated one commission member who could not attend tonight would have
closely looked at the waivers; he himself found the height not an extreme waiver, as the commission had allowed similar, the parking setback to be a nonissue, and the shoreline setback not extreme. In all, these were mainline waiver requests. He commended the fantastic discussion as a result of citizen input, stating this was the purpose of the commission—to provide advice to the City Council. Input was
important, as the City Council would make the ultimate decision, and the Council Members listened to these meetings on video in order to hear the residents’ concerns.

B. Roers Eden Prairie Apartments (2025-06)
• Guide Plan Change on 5.86 acres
• Zone Change on 5.86 acres
• PUD Concept Review on 5.86 acres
• PUD District Review w/ Waivers on 5.86 acres
• Site Plan Review on 5.86 acres Nick Asta, of Roers Companies, presented a PowerPoint and detailed the
application. He stated he had held two neighborhood meetings, with zero attendance, and had undergone an extensive approval process with the condominium association, and the neighbors were in favor of the development. Justin Merkovich, of JLG Architects, stated this was a 195-dwelling unit
development, and was currently zoned Industrial flex tech. The land use proposed was medium density residential, with a zoning change from Office to RM-2.5. This would consist of a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, with 117 surface parking stalls and landscaping. He showed the site, with industrial in the Golden Triangle to the west, and city station to the north.
Waivers: the applicant proposed a waiver for a density of 33.26 instead of 17.4, as the development was adjacent to a highway and the Southwest Light Rail. Another waiver would decrease the front yard setback to 24 feet. The height waiver requested a height of 69 feet to accommodate a grade change. The parking
waiver requested 207 stalls and 117 surface stalls. The landscaping met the Code requirements. The site analysis showed view sheds and an overview of the development. Merkovich also presented the historical context of the site (“The Old Farm”) over time. Materials would be Class One brick, cement fiber board, metal and glass. He displayed renderings of the proposed development giving
more context and drawing upon the historical elements (especially with the curved main entry inspired by the grain silo). He also displayed residential amenities and a connection to the future light rail. Barnhart presented the staff report. He commended the design of this infill project
and stated this would replace an office building dating from 1986. The building was required to meet the Sustainable Building standards and is proposing electric heating. The waivers were in keeping with the land use guidance and the surrounding area. Access was via City West Parkway, and Highway 212 ran in front of the site, making the setback a nonissue. The Comprehensive Plan
established a range of density, and this was a candidate for higher density, being
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 22, 2025
Page 6
close to the LRT. The parking ratio proposed was 324 parking spaces for 195
units (1.66 spaces per unit) while this is in the lower range of ratios approved by
the city, the developer feels confident the parking will meet their needs. Staff expect this development to be completed around the time the Southwest Light Rail station begins operation. The landscaping plan met the requirements for both landscaping and tree replacement. There would be additional landscaping south of
the development to screen the development. The architecture and materials
exceeded requirements. Staff recommended approval subject to the conditions of the staff report. Grote asked for a date of the southwest light rail opening, and Barnhart estimated
it would be in 2027.
MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Kirk to close the public hearing. Motion carried 5-0.
Sivilay commended the design. Kirk stated he found this was a positive
development, and praised the historical perspective included. He took no issue with the waivers, though density and parking waivers could trouble him, yet any that have been approved have followed through with their promises.
Duncan echoed Kirk’s appreciation of the historical element, as well as the
developer’s work with the neighbors. She asked for clarification on the distance between this property and light rail, and any resulting safety concerns. Barnhart replied there was a current half-mile pathway on existing trails to reach the station; the City was also working on plans to create a direct trail north through
the wooded area. He had no timeline, but the need was recognized and would be
improved, though facilitated at present through existing trails. Duncan echoed the praise for the historical research and echoing of that in the design. She praised the applicant for conducting the neighborhood meetings. She
asked for more information regarding the distance to the light rail and any safety
concerns that might arise. Barnhart replied there was currently a half-mile pathway to the light rail via existing trails, and the City was already working on plans to construct a direct trail through the wooded area. Duncan asked for and received confirmation the applicant was providing easement to create a direct
trail, and there was space for this between the property and Highway 212. MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Grote to recommend approval of the Guide Plan Change on 5.86 acres; Zone Change on 5.86 acres; PUD Concept Review on
5.86 acres; PUD District Review w/ Waivers on 5.86 acres; and Site Plan Review on 5.86 acres as recommended by the staff report dated September 22, 2025. Motion carried 5-0.

City Council Agenda Cover Memo
Date: Oct. 21, 2025
Section: Public Hearing
Item Number: VIII.B.
Department: Community Development / Planning
Julie Klima / Jeremy Barnhart
ITEM DESCRIPTION
Roers Companies proposed to demolish an existing 5 story office building at 6436 City West
Parkway and construct a 195 unit apartment building at that location. The approvals necessary
include a comprehensive plan amendment, zoning district change, Planned Unit Development
Concept Review and PUD District Review with waivers, and site plan.
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to:
• Close the public hearing, and
• Adopt a Resolution for a Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Industrial Flex Tech to
Medium High Density Residential on 5.86 acres; and
• Adopt a Resolution for Planned Unit Development (PUD) Concept Review on 5.86 acres; and
• Approve the 1st Reading of an Ordinance for a PUD District Review with waivers on 5.86
acres and Zoning District change from Office to RM-2.5 on 5.86 acres on 6.59 acres; and
• Direct Staff to prepare Development Agreement incorporating Staff and Commission
recommendations and Council conditions.
SUMMARY
The existing 5 story office building was built in 1986. This building will be demolished, and a 6
story, 195 unit apartment building will be built on the site (rendering pictured above). The 6
stories include an underground parking garage. The attached Planning Commission staff report
provides further description and analysis of the project.
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
The property is currently guided Industrial Flex Tech, and zoned office, reflecting the current
use of the property. The proposal changes the land use guidance to Medium High Density
residential (14-40 units per acre) and changes the zoning to RM-2.5.
Site Plan and Architecture
The site plan features 114 surface parking spaces. Vehicular access to the site is from City West
Parkway through existing private drives. Trail easements are provided along the west and east
property lines to support an eventual trail connection from the subject property to the light rail
station to the north.
The building design includes
curved corner features, which
was intentional to evoke this
design characteristic of other
buildings in the area. The
building façade includes brick,
architectural precast, glass
and fiber cement. The design
meets and exceeds all
articulation, material, and
material distribution
requirements of City Code.
Amenities for guests include
clubrooms, conference
rooms, and a deck with pool
and lounging/ grilling areas.
Planned Unit Development and Waivers
As part of the PUD process, the applicant is requesting approval of four waivers.
• Density. The density proposed is 33.27 units per acre, where the maximum in
the RM-2.5 zoning district is 17.4 units per acre. The density is within the range
of the Medium High Density Residential Land use. The additional density aids in
the achievement of several city goals, including inclusionary housing and
additional housing near light rail stations.
• Height. The proposed height of 75 exceeds the 45 height limit in the RM-2.5
zoning. The additional height supports city goals including underground parking,
and the retention of existing slopes and vegetation.
• Front Yard setback (off of Hwy 212). The building is located 24 feet from the east
property line where 35 feet is required. The reduced setback allows for
additional parking on the west side of the property and will not negatively
impact the corridor view.
• Parking. City Code requires 2 parking spaces per unit for the unit types provided.
This equates to 390 parking spaces. Total parking on site equals 322 spaces, a
ratio of 1.65 spaces per unit. The applicant’s narrative includes information on
parking management and demographic expectations to support the parking
proposed.
Inclusionary Housing.
The project will meet the City’s inclusionary requirements, with 5% of its units at 80% of the
area medium income (AMI). The mix of affordable units will be consistent with the mix of units
found within the building and detailed in the Development Agreement and Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) agreement.
Building Sustainability.
The Sustainable Building Standards (SBS) will apply to this building. In addition to the 6 EV
Installed, 40 EV ready, and 40 EV capable spaces, the developers are proposing all-electric
space heating for the building, compatible with the SBS standards. This will be finalized in the
development agreement.

Planning Commission Staff Report
Date: September 22, 2025
Location: 6436 City West Parkway
Subject: Roers Eden Prairie Apartments
From: Jeremy Barnhart, City Planner
Applicant: Roers Companies
Review period
expires:
December 20, 2025
ITEM DESCRIPTION
Roers is seeking approvals necessary to construct a 195 unit apartment building, replacing an
existing 4 story office building. The project includes underground and surface parking, indoor
and outdoor residential amenities, landscaping, and stormwater management.
REQUESTED ACTIONS
• Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Industrial Flex Tech to Medium High Density
Residential on 5.86 acres
• Zoning District Change from Office to RM-2.5 on 5.86 acres
• Planned Unit Development Concept Plan Review on 5.86 acres
• Planned Unit Development District Review with Waivers on 5.86 acres
• Site Plan Review on 5.86 acres
BACKGROUND
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND ZONING
The project requires the amendment of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, changing the Land
Use from Industrial Flex Tech to Medium High Density Residential.
Given the proximity of the light rail station, the need for additional housing, and the decline of
the office market, staff supports the Comprehensive Plan amendment by removing an
underutilized office building and adding a variety of housing options close to a planned light rail
station.
The zoning district change
proposed, from Office to RM-2.5,
aligns the zoning with the proposed
Comprehensive Plan and the
intended use.

Staff Report – Roers EP Apartments September 22, 2025 Page 2
SITE PLAN
The site is bordered on the east by the light rail, to the north by a protected natural wooded area,
apartments to the west, and office buildings to the south.
The site plan shows a 5 story, 195 unit residential structure on the east side of the property.
Surface parking is located west of the building.
Site improvements include an amenity deck above the lower level parking. The amenity deck
includes an outdoor pool, grilling, and lounging areas. The plans show a sidewalk around the
perimeter of the building, and trail easements along the west and east property lines to facilitate
connection to a city trail to be constructed in the future.
Vehicular access is via an existing private drive from the south.
The site slopes down from the north. Stormwater is collected throughout the site and funneled
to proposed underground storm chambers west of the building, in the parking lot. Retaining
walls are proposed north of the building to preserve as much of the slope in that area as possible,
reducing tree removal and grading in the area, and allowing the building to be set into the grade,
reducing the visible mass of the building.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS
The purpose of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) as stated in the City Code is to provide for a
more creative and efficient approach to the use of land within the City; to allow variety in the
types of environment available to people and distribution of overall density of population and
intensity of land use where desirable and feasible; and provide for greater creativity and flexibility
in environmental design. The applicant is requesting the following waivers:
• Density – 33.27 units per acre where 17.4 is the maximum per the RM-2.5 zoning
district. The density is appropriate for this site and is consistent with the requested
Comprehensive Plan amendment.
• Front Yard Setback – 24 feet where 35 is required. The front yard is to the east,
fronting Highway 212. Minimum front yards are typically established to create
open space between the public area and the building. This site fronts on a very
wide, high volume corridor which includes Highway 212 and the light rail tracks.
These transportation modes establish a very urban feel, where reduced setbacks
are common. Staff supports the waiver.
• Height – 75 feet in height where 45 feet is permitted. The maximum building
height in the RM-2.5 zoning district is 45 feet. The developer proposes 75 feet.
The waiver is supported to allow additional housing units within a smaller building
footprint preserving more of the wooded areas north of the building.
• Parking – In the RM-2.5 zoning district, parking requirements are based on the unit
type. All of the units are 1, 2, or 3 bedrooms, so 2 parking spaces are required for
each unit, requiring 390 total spaces. The plans show 324 parking spaces, including
207 in the underground garage. The ratio of stalls to units as shown is 1.66.
Further discussion on parking can be found in the parking section.
Staff Report – Roers EP Apartments September 22, 2025 Page 3 ACCESS AND STREET CONNECTIONS
The parcel is tucked back into an office neighborhood, and vehicular access is via two driveways
off City West Parkway. The project will connect to existing sidewalks that in turn connect to the
trail along City West Parkway. Additionally, the developer provides two easements to allow
further connection to a planned city trail through the property to the north which will provide a
direct connection to the light rail station.
TRAFFIC STUDY
A traffic study has been completed. Morning and evening peak hour trips are expected to
decrease from the existing office use because residential trips are spread throughout the day
while office trips are concentrated during the mornings and evenings. Daily trips are expected to
increase slightly from 886 to 908 trips per day. The existing roadway network is expected to
accommodate the change in land use without a need for additional improvements.
PARKING
Parking is provided in both an underground garage and a surface parking lot. The surface lot
shows 117 parking spaces, including 4 ADA stalls near the front entrance. The underground
garage includes 207 parking spaces, including 6 EV installed spaces, 36 EV ready spaces, and 42
EV capable spaces.
The 324 parking spaces provided on site are less than the 390 required. There are 1.66 spaces
per unit.
To demonstrate that the proposed parking will meet the operational needs of the project, the
narrative includes information on how parking will be managed and the expected demographics
of their clients. The developer has also provided area examples of their projects to illustrate their
experiences.
The city has granted waivers from the parking requirements in the past for general occupancy
apartment projects as illustrated in the following table:
Staff Report – Roers EP Apartments September 22, 2025 Page 4
Other waivers for similar projects have provided 1.7-1.8 spaces per unit. This project proposes
1.66 spaces per unit. To be aligned with previous waivers, if the number of parking stalls
remained the same at 324, the number of units would need to be adjusted from 195 to 185 (1.75
stalls/unit).
With the proximity to the LRT station, staff also evaluated how the proposed parking would
compare to the TOD-R zoning requirements. The number of spaces proposed meets the parking
requirements if the project was zoned TOD-R, where the light rail is expected to supplement trips
taken within the development. The project is expected to open about the same time the light
rail is operational.
BUILDING ARCHITECTURE AND MATERIALS
The site includes a substantial grade change, with the high point on the north side of the parcel
and dropping to the south. The building mirrors this grade change, with the north half of the
building being 6 stories (including the underground garage level) while the south half of the
building is 5 stories. With the parapets, and the sloping property grade, the perceived height
varies from 57 feet on the north side, to 65’5” on the south side. The calculated height, which
averages the grade around the building, is 75 feet. The architectural details provide visual variety
which break the long facades into visually distinct sections.
Additionally, the main entrance column and the bump out features on the west side of the
building all incorporate a curved corner attribute, consistent with the neighborhood
characteristics of the other office buildings in the area.
The building materials are a mix of brick in two colors, glass, and fiber cement, with metal accents.
The building materials and distribution meets and exceeds the minimum requirements.

USABLE OPEN SPACE
Usable open space is required at a ratio of 150 sq ft of usable open space per residential unit, or
29,850 sq ft required. This is being satisfied through a variety of indoor features, including
fitness areas, conference and meeting spaces, clubroom, pet spa, and amenity area and patio
on the 6th floor. Outdoor features include the pool and fireplace deck, patio and dog run area.
These features exceed the minimum code requirements.
WETLAND, SHORELAND, AND BLUFF
The property is not impacted by any wetlands, bluff, or shoreland characteristics.
ENDANGERED, THREATENED OR SPECIAL CONCERN SPECIES
No endangered, threatened, or special concern species were identified during a preliminary
review of the site. Potential habitat may exist off-site, to the north, owned by another private
party.
DRAINAGE/STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Stormwater management will be handled onsite, in an underground system below the surface
parking lot.
TREE LOSS AND GRADING
The office building was developed in 1986, so much of the volunteer, natural growth was
removed. The proposed apartment building is located mostly within the footprint of the office
building, or the developed portions of the site, though there is some encroachment into the hill
to the north. There are 39 inches of Heritage trees proposed for removal, in addition to the 358
inches of significant trees removed. Tree replacement is satisfied with on-site plantings.
LANDSCAPING
The landscaping plan includes a variety of trees, shrubs, grasses, and perennials, with the
northern ¼ of the lot remaining untouched. Landscaping is provided in the parking lot, along
the foundation of the building, and in the amenity deck area, which is the roof of the
underground parking levels.
More than 25% of the landscaping is provided by shrubs, grasses, and perennials as permitted
by code.
INCLUSIONARY HOUSING
The project will meet the City’s inclusionary requirements, with 5% of its units at 80% of the Area
Medium Income (AMI). The mix of affordable units will be consistent with the mix of units found
within the building and detailed in the Development Agreement and Tax Increment Financing
(TIF) Agreement.
SUSTAINABILITY
The City’s Sustainable Building Standard will apply to this project. The developers are exploring
an all-electric construction option, which satisfies the SBS requirement due to recent
amendments by the City Council. If they are unable to make the all-electric construction option
Staff Report – Roers EP Apartments September 22, 2025 Page 6 work, they will utilize a Green Building Rating System (LEED or MN Green Communities) and
meet the requirements of the Eden Prairie Overlay as well. Final details will be worked out
prior to review by the City Council. The project includes EV installed, EV ready, and EV capable
parking stalls within the garage area.
PARK FEES
The property has satisfied park dedication requirements.
SIGNS
Wall signs are shown on the elevations and will be required to meet code requirements.
OTHER AGENCY OR MUNICIPALITY COMMENTS
As part of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process, information on the project was sent to
adjacent cities, the DNR, Three Rivers, and area Transportation agencies. No comments requiring
modifications were received.
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING AND RESIDENT INPUT
The developers had a neighborhood meeting on September 4th. No neighbors attended that
meeting. Prior to that, the developers met with the adjacent condominium association to
introduce the project and identify any concerns. Private agreements to maintain the private
drives and add additional landscaping screening off-site were made. While shown on the plans,
off site landscaping cannot be counted to satisfy the landscaping requirement and are not part
of the project approval.

John Ferrier, Vice President of CSM Development, displayed a PowerPoint and
detailed the application. He introduced staff from the design team, Scott Cross,
current general manager of Residence Inn, and Terry Brunhagen, Principal at ESG Architects, and CSM Development Analyst John Carlen. Ferrier explained the current Residence Inn which the first-generation prototype is
built in 1984. The Inn had a separate clubhouse with amenities and also 16 8
eight-unit separated guestroom buildings. Marriott had decided this Residence Inn concept was obsolete and need to be replaced. Rather than convert the existing site to a new prototype, the Inn would remain open during construction as this was a high performing hotel.
Ferrier displayed aerial views of the site, showing nearby Bryant Lake and the surrounding context. The hotel and restaurant are proposed on 6.9 acres, a small part of the total parcel of 59.55 acres toward the south.
Waivers requested were to increase the building height from 40 feet to 52 feet two
inches; reduce the shoreline setback from 200 to 100 feet from Supervalu Pond; remove vegetation in the shore impact zone, and a parking setback reduction from 10 feet to 0 feet, because the hotel and restaurant shared parking. The parking generation study showed the hotel’s parking was underutilized even during sell-
out days.
A zoning change was requested. The current zoning was Rural, and the applicant proposed to rezone the restaurant and Residence Inn site Commercial-Regional Service. The northern undeveloped parcel would be Parks and Open Space. A
land use change was also requested, changing from office, medium high density
residential and parks and open space to commercial and parks and open space. The proposed undeveloped parks and open space was actually being increased. The office market was in sharp decline, approaching 25, and expected to reach 30 percent by 2028. There was a negative office absorption rate for 17 or 18 quarters.
Ferrier displayed the site plan showing a five-story Residence Inn with 157 keys and a restaurant. No heritage trees would be removed. The traffic study showed no significant delays, impacts or queueing issues with the proposed development. The current right-in only entrance and exit would be increased to include a left-in,
left-out. The applicant had conducted a neighborhood meeting and showed few impacts at a distance of 2,900 feet from Bryant Lake and 3,000 feet from Beach Road. There would be bluff screening and 50 acres of undeveloped land. The View Corridor
studies showed the screened view across Bryant Lake and no visibility from points on the lake. He displayed elevations and stated the materials would consist of over 75 percent Class One materials, such as brick and cultured stone, and glass. The view from 494 showed only the top of the Inn. He added he had placed
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 22, 2025

this development where it would have least impact. This was a popular hotel
brand that would be kept in Eden Prairie.
Sherwood asked for and received confirmation there would be meeting space open to residents.
Barnhart presented the staff report. A similar waiver for building height had been
approved in the past, providing feasible development while preserving slopes and adjacent water bodies. The setback waiver was in keeping with the neighboring public school building, preserving the existing features of the site, steep slopes and other natural features, and was in keeping with the overall goal of the
Ordinance. The shoreline setback staff supported for same reason. The parking
itself was not a waiver, as the number of stalls met the requirement, but Code required sharing, so this was a parking setback requirement, as the property line fell along a driveway. Staff recommended approval subject to the conditions in the staff report; there was still work to be done on small details before this came
before the City Council.
Eric Wessel, resident at 12762 Gordon Drive, asked if the Department of Fish and Wildlife had been contacted regarding the eagle’s nest he’s watched for a decade (as the DNR was not involved). He requested that a minimum foot requirement be
determined to leave the nest protected. He also asked in a town of 60,000 people
what the demand was for another hotel. He questioned the parking study’s conclusions and asked if the applicant had consulted with others in the hospitality industry.
Joe Docter, resident at 7032 Willow Creek Road, asked two questions: the
proposed lighting for the parking lot, building, and restaurant, and who would own the newly zoned parks and open space, how this would be taxed, the restrictions of further zoning, and how this development would open this property up for residents’ use. He added the elevation at the top of the proposed building
was actually 947 feet 6 inches, higher than highest peak and would be more
prominent than shown in the renderings. Barnhart replied the lighting plan requirements would not exceed 0.5-foot candles beyond the property line and this development met the Code Requirements
regarding this and light pole height (25 feet above a three-foot base). The City is working toward acquisition of the rest of the parcel of land (Outlot A) for City use. The height of the building is measured at average grade around the property to the top of parapet, and the building would be embedded into the grade, lowering the top of the building compared to the surrounding area. The true height
from the lowest grade to the top would be between 56-58 feet. The grading and elevation plans were available online, and the average grades would account for the 6-foot difference.

Mark Kronbeck, of Alliant Engineering, replied the eagle’s nest was new
information to the applicants, and wished to see it on a map. Scott Cross added
the applicant was not adding a new hotel but replacing the hotel yet adding keys to market. The hotel had a 94 percent occupancy rate, so there was an absolute demand. The applicant was undecided what to do with existing hotel once the new one was built. Wessel stated there was vegetation on the trees for three months of
the year, and Docter stated from his house he would see the hotel, especially with
leaves off the trees, even above the mound. There were four or five houses that would see the hotel, especially during winter. MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Grote to close the public hearing. Motion
carried 5-0.
Kirk stated he had taken notes of the public’s comments. He commended the mention of an eagle’s nest and asked the developer to gather information to minimize impact on this nest. The site was beautiful; minimizing the impact and
maximizing the open space to be acquired by the City had great potential for
access to another park/conservation area. Keeping an existing business in Eden Prairie was ideal and an upgrade was understandable. The sightlines he considered an issue; in his many years on the commission, he saw that answers were often a compromise and not perfect.
Grote reiterated the proposed building would be built below grade and the height would not be as much as it would be if built on grade. Sherwood commended the applicant on its analysis of office demand; hospitality was rising and would continue to improve. Duncan commended the proposal for meeting a long list of
conditions to be met, and stated staff had been diligent in approach.
Duncan asked if an environmental analysis would this have caught the eagle’s nest. Barnhart replied one had been completed; a nest was not flagged, and staff and the applicant would work together to address this. He added the lighting plan
would be part of the Exhibit B plans presented to the City Council. There was
presently no restaurant tenant. Ferrier stated the applicant would start marketing to secure a restaurant tenant once the development was approved. Kirk stated one commission member who could not attend tonight would have
closely looked at the waivers; he himself found the height not an extreme waiver, as the commission had allowed similar, the parking setback to be a nonissue, and the shoreline setback not extreme. In all, these were mainline waiver requests. He commended the fantastic discussion as a result of citizen input, stating this was the purpose of the commission—to provide advice to the City Council. Input was
important, as the City Council would make the ultimate decision, and the Council Members listened to these meetings on video in order to hear the residents’ concerns.

• Zone Change on 5.86 acres
• PUD Concept Review on 5.86 acres
• PUD District Review w/ Waivers on 5.86 acres
• Site Plan Review on 5.86 acres Nick Asta, of Roers Companies, presented a PowerPoint and detailed the
application. He stated he had held two neighborhood meetings, with zero attendance, and had undergone an extensive approval process with the condominium association, and the neighbors were in favor of the development. Justin Merkovich, of JLG Architects, stated this was a 195-dwelling unit
development, and was currently zoned Industrial flex tech. The land use proposed was medium density residential, with a zoning change from Office to RM-2.5. This would consist of a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, with 117 surface parking stalls and landscaping. He showed the site, with industrial in the Golden Triangle to the west, and city station to the north.
Waivers: the applicant proposed a waiver for a density of 33.26 instead of 17.4, as the development was adjacent to a highway and the Southwest Light Rail. Another waiver would decrease the front yard setback to 24 feet. The height waiver requested a height of 69 feet to accommodate a grade change. The parking
waiver requested 207 stalls and 117 surface stalls. The landscaping met the Code requirements. The site analysis showed view sheds and an overview of the development. Merkovich also presented the historical context of the site (“The Old Farm”) over time. Materials would be Class One brick, cement fiber board, metal and glass. He displayed renderings of the proposed development giving
more context and drawing upon the historical elements (especially with the curved main entry inspired by the grain silo). He also displayed residential amenities and a connection to the future light rail. Barnhart presented the staff report. He commended the design of this infill project
and stated this would replace an office building dating from 1986. The building was required to meet the Sustainable Building standards and is proposing electric heating. The waivers were in keeping with the land use guidance and the surrounding area. Access was via City West Parkway, and Highway 212 ran in front of the site, making the setback a nonissue. The Comprehensive Plan
established a range of density, and this was a candidate for higher density, being

close to the LRT. The parking ratio proposed was 324 parking spaces for 195
units (1.66 spaces per unit) while this is in the lower range of ratios approved by
the city, the developer feels confident the parking will meet their needs. Staff expect this development to be completed around the time the Southwest Light Rail station begins operation. The landscaping plan met the requirements for both landscaping and tree replacement. There would be additional landscaping south of
the development to screen the development. The architecture and materials
exceeded requirements. Staff recommended approval subject to the conditions of the staff report. Grote asked for a date of the southwest light rail opening, and Barnhart estimated
it would be in 2027.
MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Kirk to close the public hearing. Motion carried 5-0.
Sivilay commended the design. Kirk stated he found this was a positive
development, and praised the historical perspective included. He took no issue with the waivers, though density and parking waivers could trouble him, yet any that have been approved have followed through with their promises.
Duncan echoed Kirk’s appreciation of the historical element, as well as the
developer’s work with the neighbors. She asked for clarification on the distance between this property and light rail, and any resulting safety concerns. Barnhart replied there was a current half-mile pathway on existing trails to reach the station; the City was also working on plans to create a direct trail north through
the wooded area. He had no timeline, but the need was recognized and would be
improved, though facilitated at present through existing trails. Duncan echoed the praise for the historical research and echoing of that in the design. She praised the applicant for conducting the neighborhood meetings. She
asked for more information regarding the distance to the light rail and any safety
concerns that might arise. Barnhart replied there was currently a half-mile pathway to the light rail via existing trails, and the City was already working on plans to construct a direct trail through the wooded area. Duncan asked for and received confirmation the applicant was providing easement to create a direct
trail, and there was space for this between the property and Highway 212. MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Grote to recommend approval of the Guide Plan Change on 5.86 acres; Zone Change on 5.86 acres; PUD Concept Review on

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Roers Apartments is requesting Tax Increment Financing (TIF) for Roers Eden Prairie
Apartments located at 6436 City West Parkway. Roers Apartments is a 195 unit mixed-income
apartment project that meets the criteria for a new Housing TIF District. The project will be
developed in one phase.
The project proposes to include 20% of the units (39 units) affordable to residents earning at or
below 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI). An additional 5% of the units (10 units) will be
inclusionary housing units as required by City Code and will be affordable to residents earning
at or below 80% of AMI. The remaining 146 units will be market rate.
This request necessitates a Redevelopment Plan modification, creation of a new TIF District No.
27, and a TIF Plan for Roers Apartments. The TIF Plan for TIF District No. 27 is the City’s planning
document for the district. It spells out the objectives and policies for the district, identifies the
geographic boundaries, and sets the maximum budgetary authority for the district. This
planning document simply allows for the creation of a new TIF district. Approval of the TIF Plan
does not grant any specific TIF assistance to the property owner. Assistance is granted through
a separate TIF agreement between the HRA and the developer.
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to:
• Close the public hearing; and
• Direct staff to include the Redevelopment Plan Modification for Redevelopment Project
Area No. 5, establishment of TIF District No. 27, and adoption of a TIF plan on a future
City Council meeting agenda; and
• Recommend that staff include the TIF Plan and the TIF Development Agreement on a
future HRA meeting agenda.
SUMMARY
TIF District No. 27 is being established as a Housing TIF District. The site qualifies as a Housing
TIF District because the project will meet the income requirements outlined above. The TIF Plan
sets up the district for a maximum duration of 26 years.
The maximum budgetary authority in the district is approximately $20.73 million. This is a
maximum budget intended to provide flexibility. It includes 3% annual inflation and assumes
the TIF district runs for the full 26 years. The actual assistance to the property owner is
anticipated to be a present value of $4.5 million. Total payments, which include interest paid,
are projected to be $8.4 million. Current estimates show that the amount can be repaid within
19 years. The TIF Plan assumes pay-as-you-go assistance to the developer. Pay-as-you-go TIF
requires the developer to seek its own financing secured by all or a portion of the tax
increments generated by the project. In this scenario, the City and HRA do not provide the
funding up front, but enter into an agreement to provide tax increments from the increased
taxes from the project up to a specific dollar amount over time. If tax increment is not enough
to repay the developer, the City does not make up the difference.
The TIF Plan also includes a 10% allowance for City administrative costs. The City can use this
10% to pay for any ongoing costs associated with administering the project in the TIF District.
Proposed Financing and General Terms:
Housing TIF: Roers is requesting new Housing TIF District financing for Roers Eden Prairie
Apartments. The original request was for $5,070,000 of new TIF in the form of pay-as-you-go
over 26 years. Ehlers Public Finance (our TIF consultants) and staff have reviewed Roers
application. We have determined that the proposal meets the “but for test” for TIF District
financing. However, the development does not require the requested amount of TIF to
generate reasonable profits. Therefore, Ehlers and staff recommends a total of $4.5 million of
present value TIF paid over 19 years. The required affordability will continue for a total of 26
years, however, which is the maximum duration of the TIF district.
Affordable TIF and IH Units: During the 26 year affordability period, Roers would need to
maintain 39 units at rents affordable to households whose incomes do not exceed 50% of the
AMI. Roers would submit annual information to the City regarding the households occupying
these units and the rents they pay compared to commensurate market rate units. Of the 39
affordable TIF units staff recommends a minimum of 20 one bedroom, 16 two-bedroom, and 3
three-bedroom units.
In addition, City Code Chapter 13 requires that the developer provide Inclusionary Housing (IH)
units in perpetuity that must be affordable to households earning up to 80% of AMI. The
developer will be required to provide 10 IH units including 5 one-bedroom units, 4 two-
bedroom units, and 1 three-bedroom unit.
The developer is in general agreement with the staff recommendations.

FOREWORD
The Eden Prairie Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the "HRA"), the City
of Eden Prairie (the "City"), staff and consultants have prepared the following
information to expedite the Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District
No. 27 (Roers) (the "District"), a housing tax increment financing district,
located in Redevelopment Project Area No. 5.
STATUTORY AUTHORITY
Within the City, there exist areas where public involvement is necessary to
cause development or redevelopment to occur. To this end, the HRA and City
have certain statutory powers pursuant to Minnesota Statutes ("M.S."),
Sections 469.001 - 469.047, inclusive, as amended, and M.S., Sections 469.174
to 469.1794, inclusive, as amended (the "TIF Act"), to assist in financing public
costs related to this project.
This section contains the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") for the
District. Other relevant information is contained in the Modification to the
Development Program for Redevelopment Project Area No. 5.
STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
The District currently consists of two (2) parcels of land and adjacent roads
and internal rights-of-way. The District is being created to facilitate
construction of 199 units of mixed-income apartments in the City. The HRA
intends to enter into an agreement with Roers Companies for the project.
Development is anticipated to begin in 2026. This TIF Plan is expected to
achieve many of the objectives outlined in the Development Program for
Redevelopment Project Area No. 5.
The activities contemplated in the Modification to the Development Program
and the TIF Plan do not preclude the undertaking of other qualified
development or redevelopment activities. These activities are anticipated to
occur over the life of Redevelopment Project Area No. 5 and the District.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Pursuant to the Development Program and authorizing state statutes, the
HRA or City is authorized to undertake the following activities in the District:
1. Property to be Acquired – Although not anticipated at this time,
selected property located within the District may be acquired by
the HRA or City and is further described in this TIF Plan.
2. Relocation - Relocation services, to the extent required by law,
are available pursuant to M.S., Chapter 117 and other relevant state
and federal laws.
3. Upon approval of a developer's plan relating to the project and
completion of the necessary legal requirements, the HRA or City
may sell to a developer selected properties that it may acquire
within the District or may lease land or facilities to a developer.
4. The HRA or City may perform or provide for some or all necessary
acquisition, construction, relocation, demolition, and required
utilities and public street work within the District.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY IN THE DISTRICT AND PROPERTY
TO BE ACQUIRED
The District encompasses all property and adjacent roads rights-of-way and
abutting roadways identified by the parcels listed below.
Parcel number Address Owner

Please also see the map in Appendix A for further information on the location
of the District.
The HRA or City may acquire any parcel within the District including interior
and adjacent street rights of way. Any properties identified for acquisition will
be acquired by the HRA or City only in order to accomplish one or more of
the following: storm sewer improvements; provide land for needed public
streets, utilities and facilities; carry out land acquisition, site improvements,
clearance and/or development to accomplish the uses and objectives set
forth in this plan. The HRA or City may acquire property by gift, dedication,

objectives of this TIF Plan.
DRAFT
Eden Prairie Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 27 (Roers) 4
Such acquisitions will be undertaken only when there is assurance of funding
to finance the acquisition and related costs.
DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION
The HRA and City, in determining the need to create a tax increment financing
district in accordance with M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended,
inclusive, find that the District, to be established, is a housing district pursuant
to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 11 and M.S., Section 469.1761.
$ The District consists of two (2) parcels
$ The development will consist of 199 units of multi-family rental housing
$ 20% of the units will be occupied by person with incomes less than 50% of
$ The project does not include any commercial, retail or other non-
residential uses.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 7, the District does not contain any
parcel or part of a parcel that qualified under the provisions of M.S., Sections
273.111, 273.112, or 273.114 or Chapter 473H for taxes payable in any of the five
calendar years before the filing of the request for certification of the District.
DURATION & FIRST YEAR OF DISTRICT’S TAX INCREMENT
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the
duration and first year of tax increment of the District must be indicated within
the TIF Plan. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 1b., the duration of the
District will be 25 years after receipt of the first increment by the HRA or City
(a total of 26 years of tax increment). The HRA or City elects to receive the first
tax increment in 2028, which is no later than four years following the year of
approval of the District.
Thus, it is estimated that the District, including any modifications of the TIF Plan
for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after 2053, or when
the TIF Plan is satisfied. The HRA or City reserves the right to decertify the
District prior to the legally required date.

on the market values placed on the property by the assessor in 2025 for taxes
payable 2026.
DRAFT
Eden Prairie Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 27 (Roers) 5
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall
certify in each year (beginning in the payment year 2028) the amount by
which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of:
1. Change in tax exempt status of property;
2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the District;
3. Change due to adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements;
4. Change in the use of the property and classification;
5. Change in state law governing class rates; or
6. Change in previously issued building permits.
In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value of the District
declines below the ONTC, no value will be captured and no tax increment will
be payable to the HRA or City.
The original local tax rate for the District will be the local tax rate for taxes
payable 2026, assuming the request for certification is made before June 30,
2026. The rates for 2026 were not available at the time the District was
established. The ONTC and the Original Local Tax Rate for the District appear
in the table below.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174 Subd. 4 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, 2,
and 4, the estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of the District, within
Redevelopment Project Area No. 5, upon completion of the projects within
the District, will annually approximate tax increment revenues as shown in the
table below. The HRA and City request 100% of the available increase in tax
capacity be used for repayment of the obligations of the HRA or City and
current expenditures, beginning in the tax year payable 2028. The Project Tax
Capacity (PTC) listed is an estimate of values when the projects within the
District are completed.

Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the HRA shall, after a due and
diligent search, accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor
or its notice of the District enlargement pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175,
Subd. 4, with a listing of all properties within the District or area of
enlargement for which building permits have been issued during the eighteen
(18) months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the
municipality pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3. The County Auditor
shall increase the original net tax capacity of the District by the net tax
capacity of improvements for which a building permit was issued.
The City has reviewed the area to be included in the District and found no
parcels for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months
immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the City.
SOURCES OF REVENUE/BONDS TO BE ISSUED
The total estimated tax increment revenues for the District are shown in the
table below:
SOURCES
Tax Increment 18,846,905$
Interest 1,884,691
TOTAL 20,731,596$
The costs outlined in the Uses of Funds will be financed primarily through the
annual collection of tax increments. The HRA or City reserves the right to
issue bonds (as defined in the TIF Act) or incur other indebtedness as a result
of the TIF Plan. As presently proposed, the projects within the District will be
financed by pay-as-you-go notes and interfund loans. Any refunding amounts
will be deemed a budgeted cost without a formal modification to this TIF
Plan. This provision does not obligate the HRA or City to incur debt. The HRA
or City will issue bonds or incur other debt only upon the determination that
such action is in the best interest of the City.
The HRA or City may issue bonds secured in whole or in part with tax
increments from the District in a maximum principal amount of $12,013,846.
Such bonds may be in the form of pay-as-you-go notes, revenue bonds or
notes, general obligation bonds, or interfund loans. This estimate of total
bonded indebtedness is a cumulative statement of authority under this TIF
Plan as of the date of approval.

USES OF FUNDS
Currently under consideration for the District is a proposal to facilitate
construction of 199 units of mixed-income apartments in the community. .
The HRA and City have determined that it will be necessary to provide
assistance to the project(s) for certain District costs, as described herein.
The HRA has studied the feasibility of the development or redevelopment of
property in and around the District. To facilitate the establishment and
development or redevelopment of the District, this TIF Plan authorizes the use
of tax increment financing to pay for the cost of certain eligible expenses. The
estimate of public costs and uses of funds associated with the District is
outlined in the following table.
USES
Land/Building Acquisition 5,250,000$
Site Improvements/Preparation 500,000
Affordable Housing 4,129,155
Utilities 250,000
Administrative Costs (up to 10%)1,884,691
PROJECT COSTS TOTAL 12,013,846$
Interest 8,717,750
PROJECT AND INTEREST COSTS TOTAL 20,731,596$
The total project cost, including financing costs (interest) listed in the table
above does not exceed the total projected tax increments for the District as
shown in the Sources of Revenue section.
Estimated costs associated with the District are subject to change among
categories without a modification to the TIF Plan. The cost of all activities to
be considered for tax increment financing will not exceed, without formal
modification, the budget above pursuant to the applicable statutory
requirements. The HRA may expend funds for qualified housing activities
outside of the District boundaries.
FISCAL DISPARITIES ELECTION
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, the HRA or City may elect one of two
methods to calculate fiscal disparities.
The HRA will choose to calculate fiscal disparities by clause b (inside).

ESTIMATED IMPACT ON OTHER TAXING JURISDICTIONS
The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes that the
redevelopment contemplated by the TIF Plan would occur without the
creation of the District. However, the HRA or City has determined that such
development or redevelopment would not occur "but for" tax increment
financing and that, therefore, the fiscal impact on other taxing jurisdictions is
$0. The estimated fiscal impact of the District would be as follows if the "but
for" test was not met:

Impact on Tax Rates
The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity when all
construction is completed. The tax rate used for calculations is the Pay 2025
rate. The total net capacity for the entities listed above are based on Pay
2025 figures. The District will be certified under the Pay 2026 rates, which
were unavailable at the time this TIF Plan was prepared.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b):
(1) Estimate of total tax increment. It is estimated that the total amount
of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the District is
$18,846,905;

(2) Probable impact of the District on city provided services and ability
to issue debt. An impact of the District on police protection is
expected. With any addition of new residents or businesses, police
calls for service will be increased. New developments add an
increase in traffic, and additional overall demands to the call load.
The City does not expect that the proposed development, in and of
itself, will necessitate new capital investment in vehicles or facilities.
The probable impact of the District on fire protection is not expected
to be significant. Typically new buildings generate fewer calls and
are of superior construction. The City does not expect that the
proposed development, in and of itself, will necessitate new capital
investment in vehicles or facilities.
The impact of the District on public infrastructure is expected to be
minimal. The development is not expected to significantly impact
any traffic movements in the area. The current infrastructure for
sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water will be able to handle the
additional volume generated from the proposed development. Based
on the development plans, there are little to no additional costs
associated with street maintenance, sweeping, plowing, lighting and
sidewalks.
The probable impact of the issuance of any general obligation tax
increment bonds payable from tax increment revenues from the
District on the City’s ability to issue debt for general fund purposes is
expected to be minimal. It is not anticipated that there will be any
general obligation debt issued in relation to this project, therefore
there will be no impact on the City's ability to issue future debt or on
the City's debt limit.
(3) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to school district
levies. It is estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life
of the District that would be attributable to school district levies,
assuming the school district's share of the total local tax rate for all
taxing jurisdictions remained the same is $4,030,347;
(4) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to county levies. It is
estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life of the
District that would be attributable to county levies, assuming the
county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions
remained the same, is $7,208,628;

(5) Additional information requested by the county or school district. The
City is not aware of any standard questions in a county or school
district written policy regarding tax increment districts and impact on
county or school district services. The county or school district must
request additional information pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175 Subd.
2(b) within 15 days after receipt of the tax increment financing plan.
No requests for additional information from the county or school
district regarding the proposed development for the District have
been received.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1 (a), clause 7 this TIF Plan must
contain identification and description of studies and analyses used to make
the determination set forth in M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3, clause (b)(2) and
the findings are required in the resolution approving the District.
(i) In making said determination, reliance has been placed upon (1)
written representation made by the Developer to such effects, (2)
review of the Developer’s pro forma; and (3) City staff awareness of
the feasibility of developing the project site within the District, which
is further outlined in the City Council resolution approving the
establishment of the District and Appendix C.
(ii) A comparative analysis of estimated market value both with and
without establishment of the District and the use of tax increments
has been performed. Such analysis is included with the cashflow in
Appendix B and indicates that the increase in estimated market
value of the proposed development (less the indicated subtractions)
exceeds the estimated market value of the site absent the
establishment of the District and the use of tax increments.
DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION
Administration of the District will be handled by the Community Development
Director.

Eden Prairie Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 27 (Roers)
Appendix C: Findings Including But/For Qualifications
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax
Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 27 (Roers),
as required pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, (M.S.) Section 469.175,
Subdivision 3 are as follows:
1. Finding that Tax Increment Financing District No. 27 (Roers) is a housing
district as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 11.
Tax Increment Financing District No. 27 (Roers) consists of two (2)
parcels. The development will consist of construction of 199 units of
mixed-income apartments in the community, all or a portion of which
will receive tax increment assistance and will meet income restrictions
described in M.S. Section 469.1761. At least 20% of the units receiving
assistance will be occupied by individuals and families whose incomes
are at or below 50% of area median income.
2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City
Council, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through
private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future.
The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not
reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment
within the reasonably foreseeable future: This finding is supported by
the fact that the development proposed in the TIF Plan is a housing
district that meets the City's objectives for development and
redevelopment. The cost of land acquisition, site and public
improvements and utilities makes this housing development infeasible
without City assistance. Due to decreased rental income from
affordable units, there is insufficient cash flow to provide a sufficient
rate of return, pay operating expenses, and service the debt. This leaves
a gap in the funding for the project and makes this housing
development feasible only through assistance, in part, from tax
increment financing. The Developer was asked for and provided a letter
and a pro forma as justification that the Developer would not have gone
forward without tax increment assistance.
DRAFT
Eden Prairie Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 27 (Roers)
The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be
expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be
less than the increase in market value estimated to result from the
proposed development after subtracting the present value of the
projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the District
permitted by the TIF Plan: This finding is justified on the grounds that
the cost of land acquisition, site and public improvements, utilities and
construction of affordable housing add to the total development cost.
Historically, the costs of site and public improvements as well as
reduced rents required for affordable workforce housing in the City
have made development infeasible without tax increment assistance.
The City reasonably determines that no other development of similar
scope is anticipated on this site without substantially similar assistance
being provided to the development.
3. Finding that the TIF Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 27
(Roers) conforms to the general plan for the development or
redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The City Council reviewed the TIF Plan and found that the TIF Plan
conforms to the general development plan of the City.
4. Finding that the TIF Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 27
(Roers) will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound
needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of
Redevelopment Project Area No. 5 by private enterprise.
Through the implementation of the TIF Plan, the City will provide an
impetus for residential development, which is desirable or necessary for
increased population and an increased need for life-cycle housing within
the City. The TIF Plan also helps the HRA or the City meet their goal of
providing more affordable housing options in the City.

For your further information, please note the following: Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 435.193 through 435.195, which establishes a hardship assessment deferral for seniors or retired disabled, the
procedure to obtain a deferred assessment and sets forth the events upon which the option to defer payment terminates and all amounts accumulated plus interest become due. Pursuant to these statutes, the City may defer
the payment of special assessments for homestead property of persons 65 years of age or older or retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments, who meet certain standards relating to eligibility. A deferment procedure is authorized by City Code Section 2.84 and has been established by City Resolution 83-177. The principal amount of special assessments deferred for such persons will bear interest, but not exceeding the original principal amount of the assessment. Payment of the interest will also be deferred and will be added to the principal amount of the deferred assessment. Any person who wishes to receive a deferment must make an application to the City Engineer's office no later than November 10th of the year preceding the year in which an assessment is payable. Applications therefore may be obtained from the City of Eden Prairie by contacting: Molly Swanson, Senior Engineering Technician

Section: Report of Public Works Director
Item Number: XIII.E.1.
Department: Public Works – Robert Ellis
ITEM DESCRIPTION
Purchase of 7955 Wallace Road
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to: Approve Purchase Agreement for 7955 Wallace Road and authorize the City Manager
to execute on behalf of the City any documents necessary to close the transaction and purchase
the property.
SUMMARY
At the March 18, 2025 City Council Workshop, the Community Development Director presented
information related to the potential redevelopment of the 60-acre Danfoss site. During that
discussion, the Public Works Director presented a proposal for the City to purchase the 2.16-
acre Danfoss-owned property at 7955 Wallace Road to satisfy ongoing equipment and material
storage needs for the Utilities Division. This property contains a 26,548 square-foot industrial
building and sits on the far western edge of the Danfoss campus on its own lot. At that
meeting, City Council expressed support for staff moving forward. This topic was again
discussed with the Council at the October 7, 2025 City Council meeting where members
reaffirmed support for negotiating a purchase agreement to acquire the property.
Endeavor Holdings LLC has contracted to purchase the entire site from Danfoss, including
property at 7955 Wallace Road. Contemporaneous with its purchase from Danfoss, Endeavor
has agreed to sell 7955 Wallace Road to the City. Staff has reached an agreed upon offer with
Endeavor of $3,050,000 for the property, which also includes an access easement on the
adjoining parcel that will allow a paved driveway connection to the existing Maintenance
Facility which houses the Streets, Parks, and Fleet Divisions. By purchasing 7955 Wallace Road
and acquiring the access easement, City maintenance operations can be consolidated into one
centrally located area and allow for efficient movement between the two properties.
The $3,050,000 purchase price equates to $115/sf for the building. Recent sales of 13
comparable industrial buildings in the west metro cities of Plymouth, Minnetonka, Chanhassen,
Golden Valley, St Louis Park, Savage, Bloomington, and Eden Prairie found sales in the range of
$119/sf – $138/sf. The average was $130/sf, indicating that the agreed-upon price for 7955
Wallace Road falls below current market rate. Site visits by Public Works and Facilities staff
found the building to be well maintained and in good condition. Layout of the building and its
tall ceiling height with multiple garage doors make it very compatible with Utilities Division
operations. The property is centrally located and is close to TH 5, TH 212, Technology Drive and
Mitchell/Baker Road, making it ideal for efficient access to the entire City. The connection to
the Maintenance Facility property also makes it convenient for overall City operations and
interdepartmental collaboration.
This property purchase will be funded by Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Enterprise funds
since the Utilities Division will be the user of the building as well as CIP funding. The Utilities
Division had already programmed $1.77M in the CIP to assist with creating new storage spaces
at various City buildings. The purchase of 7955 Wallace Road will negate the need to move
forward with the construction of those smaller storage spaces. The $1.77M in the CIP will be
supplemented with $1.28M in reserve cash from the Water, Wastewater and Stormwater
Enterprises to complete the property purchase.
The attached Purchase Agreement has been negotiated by staff and the City Attorney and has
been executed by the Seller, Endeavor Holdings LLC. The purchase is contingent on the City’s
approval of title review, due diligence document review, and property inspections. Assuming all
contingencies are met, the purchase will close simultaneously with Endeavor’s purchase from
Danfoss, which is currently scheduled for December 10, 2025. The requested action will
authorize the City Manager to execute on behalf of the City any documents necessary to close
the transaction and purchase the property.
ATTACHMENT

176666472v5
PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of October 21, 2025 (the
“Effective Date”), by and between ENDEAVOR HOLDINGS LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company, or its assigns (“Seller”), and the CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE, a Minnesota municipal corporation (“Purchaser”).
In consideration of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:
1. Sale of Subject Property. Upon and subject to the conditions and limitations herein contained, Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to buy from Seller, the following
(collectively, the “Subject Property”):
(a) Real Property. Fee simple interest in that certain parcel of real estate located at 7955 Wallace Road, Eden Prairie, Hennepin County, Minnesota, with a Hennepin County PID No. 16-116-22-21-0004, and legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Land”), together with (i) all building structures, improvements and fixtures owned by Seller located on the Land (the “Improvements”), and (ii) all rights, privileges, servitudes, easements and
appurtenances thereunto belonging or appertaining (collectively, the “Real Property”).
(b) Ownership of Subject Property. Purchaser acknowledges that as of the date of
this Agreement, Seller is under contract to purchase the Subject Property from Danfoss Power Solutions II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Existing Owner”) pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement dated September 12, 2025, (“Existing Contract”). This Agreement is
expressly contingent upon Seller acquiring the Subject Property from the Existing Owner in accordance with the terms of said Existing Contract.
2. Closing Date; Purchase Price. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Subject
Property (“Closing”) shall occur simultaneously with Seller’s purchase of the Subject Property under the Existing Contract (which is currently scheduled to occur on December 10, 2025), or such later date as the parties agree (the “Closing Date”), but in no event shall the Closing Date be later than March 30, 2026, unless this Agreement is earlier terminated or extended. Purchaser shall pay to Seller, as consideration for the purchase of the Subject Property, the sum (the “Purchase Price”) of Three Million Fifty Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($3,050,000.00), as the same may be adjusted as provided below. The Purchase Price
shall be payable as follows:
(a) Within three (3) business days from the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deposit in the form of cash the sum of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($100,000.00) (together with any interest earned thereon, the “Initial Earnest Money” and, together with the Additional Earnest Money, defined below, collectively the “Earnest Money”) with the escrow department of First American Title Insurance Company, 121 South 8th Street, Suite 1250, Minneapolis, MN 55402, Attn: Nicole Haapala, Email: nhaapala@firstam.com (the “Title Company”) pursuant to an escrow agreement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto and made a
part hereof (the “Escrow Agreement”). All or a portion of the Earnest Money shall, at Purchaser’s election, be credited against the Purchase Price at Closing.
(b) The balance of the Purchase Price, plus or minus prorations and other adjustments,
if any, shall be paid into the Title Company’s escrow account at Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

3. Conditions Precedent to Closing. Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to satisfaction or waiver of each of the following
conditions (“Conditions Precedent”) on or before 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the date that is forty-five (45) days following the Effective Date (the “Contingency Date”):
(a) Title/Survey. Within five (5) business days following the date of this Agreement, Seller shall: (i) order a current title commitment (the “Commitment”) for the Real Property (with copies of all underlying title documents listed in the Commitment) for an ALTA form owner’s title policy (the “Title Insurance Policy”) issued by the Title Company showing title in the Existing Owner with respect to the Real Property; and (ii) provide to Purchaser any existing surveys for the Real Property (the “Survey”). If Purchaser elects, Purchaser may order and obtain a further update or revisions to the Survey (the “Updated Survey”) at Purchaser’s expense. If the Survey discloses survey defects or if the Commitment shows exceptions or requirements, in each case that are not acceptable to Purchaser (collectively, the “Unpermitted Encumbrances”), then Purchaser shall notify Seller, in writing, by the date which is ten (10) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Commitment and the Survey (the “Title Notice Date”), specifying the Unpermitted Encumbrances. Except as expressly provided herein, any encumbrances shown on the Commitment or the Survey
as of the Title Notice Date to which Purchaser has not objected on or prior to the Title Notice Date shall be deemed “Permitted Encumbrances” from and after the Title Notice Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to correct, cure or remove any
Unpermitted Encumbrances. Purchaser shall determine on or prior to the Contingency Date whether Purchaser is satisfied with the status of title. If Seller has not expressly agreed in writing on or before the Contingency Date that Seller will remove or cause the Title Company to endorse over
any encumbrances to which Purchaser has objected, such encumbrances shall be deemed “Permitted Encumbrances” (and shall no longer be Unpermitted Encumbrances) from and after the Contingency Date if Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3 on or
prior to the Contingency Date.
(b) Due Diligence Materials; Tests. Seller shall, within seven (7) business days following execution of this Agreement, deliver to Purchaser copies of the due diligence materials listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto to the extent in Seller’s possession or control with respect to the Subject Property, for Purchaser’s review and analysis. Seller shall have no obligation to deliver additional materials beyond the items listed on Schedule 1. Except as otherwise provided herein, it is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that such materials are provided only for Purchaser’s convenience in making its own examination and determination prior to the Contingency Date, as to whether or not it wishes to purchase the Subject Property, and, in doing so, Purchaser shall rely exclusively on its own independent investigation and evaluation of every aspect of the Subject Property and on the express representations of Seller contained herein and not
on any materials supplied by Seller. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Existing Contract, and upon three (3) business days’ prior notice to Seller, Purchaser’s officers, employees, agents, attorneys, architects and engineers may access to the Real Property, without charge and at all
reasonable times, for the purpose of making such inspections, tests and verifications (collectively, “Tests”) as they shall deem reasonably necessary, provided that Purchaser may not perform a Phase I or Phase II environmental assessment or physically invasive testing without Seller’s prior written
approval, which may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that Existing Owner has commissioned a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment for the Property from Ramboll Environmental (individually and collectively, the “Ramboll ESA”). Seller agrees to share the findings of the Ramboll ESA with Purchaser when received from the Existing Owner. Seller agrees to pursue issuance of the Ramboll ESA in Purchaser’s name (including by update of the same to ensure the
Ramboll ESA is in compliance with CERCLA All Appropriate Inquiries’ ASTM standard

sufficient to ensure Purchaser’s Bona Fide Prospective Purchaser status with regard to the Subject Property) to allow Purchaser to rely on the Ramboll ESA without material limitation. Purchaser
agrees to contract with Ramboll Environmental for purposes of the Ramboll ESA and any other recommended or required environmental site assessments (including additional Phase II assessment or vapor testing), and Purchaser agrees not to contract with another environmental consultant to perform a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment or a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment, but may engage with a separate environmental consultant for purposes of reviewing the Ramboll ESA work and providing guidance on obtaining a No Association Determination and/or No Further Action letter (“MPCA Assurance Letters”) from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (“MPCA”). Seller agrees that Purchaser may communicate with the MPCA for purposes of negotiating and obtaining the MPCA Assurance Letters, including communicating the findings of the Ramboll ESAs and Purchaser’s planned use of the Subject Property, provided that Purchaser may not execute any MPCA agreement or control which would be binding on the Subject Property until Purchaser becomes fee owner of the Subject Property. Subject to the terms of the Existing Contract, Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in all commercially reasonable respects to facilitate Purchaser’s (i) investigation of the environmental status of the Subject Property, (ii)
communications and negotiations with the MPCA, and (iii) pursuit of MPCA Assurance Letters deemed necessary or prudent by Purchaser.
(c) Access Easements. Prior to the Contingency Date, Purchaser and Seller shall
negotiate a mutually agreeable easement to be recorded at Closing that will run in favor of the City over a portion of the adjoining property identified as Hennepin County PID No. 16-116-22-0009, as legally described and depicted on Exhibit C attached hereto, which Seller is acquiring as part of
the Existing Contract, for the purposes of ingress and egress and drainage and utility purposes between the Subject Property and property currently owner by the City (the “Access Easement”). Among other terms and conditions as agreed on by the parties, the Access Easement shall provide Purchaser with the right to pave the easement area. In exchange for this new Access Easement, at the Closing, the City shall terminate the existing access easement dated December 19, 1991, and recorded in the Hennepin County Recorder’s Officer as Document No. 2224713 (the “Existing
Easement”).
On or before the Contingency Date, Purchaser shall determine whether Purchaser is satisfied, in its sole and absolute discretion, with its review of the Due Diligence Materials, the results of the Tests, and the form and content of the Access Easement. Purchaser shall pay all costs and expenses of the Tests and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller, and its agents, employees and contractors, and the Subject Property, from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability, settlement, cause of action or threat thereof or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or relating to the Tests. Purchaser shall carry and shall cause any consultants retained by Purchaser to carry
policies of commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than $2,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, death and property damage liability and provide evidence of such insurance to Seller prior to commencing the Tests. Purchaser shall promptly repair and restore any damage
to the Subject Property attributable to the conduct of the Tests, or Purchaser’s presence or activity on the Subject Property and shall promptly return the Subject Property to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the conduct of the Tests. No Tests shall be conducted without Seller’s approval as to the
time and manner of such Tests, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. At Seller’s sole option, any such Tests shall be performed in the presence of a representative of Seller. All Tests shall be conducted in such a manner so as to minimize interference with the operation of the Subject Property and the business of the Existing Owner. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the indemnity, defense and hold harmless obligations of Purchaser under this Section 3(a) shall survive Closing and any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller
shall have no obligation to make any repairs or improvements to the Subject Property.

Purchaser shall, on or before the Contingency Date, do one of the following: (i) notify Seller in writing that the Conditions Precedent have been satisfied or waived, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute
discretion; or (ii) notify Seller in writing that the Conditions Precedent have not been satisfied or waived by Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. If Seller receives written notice before the Contingency Date as provided in (i) above or Seller does not receive any written notice before the Contingency Date, then the Earnest Money shall become nonrefundable (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) as of the Contingency Date and the Closing shall occur on the Closing Date. If Seller receives written notice before the Contingency Date as provided in (ii) above, then this Agreement shall terminate, provided if Seller so requests, Purchaser shall execute any document reasonably required by Seller to evidence such termination including, without limitation, a quit claim deed, and the Earnest Money will be returned to Purchaser. Upon such termination, neither party will have any further rights or obligations (other than the obligations of Purchaser set forth in Sections 3(a) and 27 and the indemnity and other obligations of Seller and Purchaser set forth in Section 13 which obligations shall survive any termination; such indemnity obligations shall be referred to herein as the “Surviving Indemnity
Obligations”) regarding this Agreement or the Subject Property.

authority or by a provider of utility services, and refrain from removing any fixture or equipment; provided, however, nothing herein shall preclude the Existing Owner from replacing any equipment, supplies or machinery in the ordinary course of operating the Subject Property. Seller shall, upon Seller’s receipt, deliver to Purchaser a copy of any easement so required by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or provider of utility services affecting the Subject Property which does not require the consent of Purchaser, and any such easement shall constitute
a Permitted Encumbrance.
(b) Contracts. From and after the Contingency Date (provided that this Agreement has not been terminated), refrain from entering into or amending any contracts or other agreements without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and which shall be deemed given if Purchaser does not object to Seller's request for approval within five (5) days after receipt of Seller's request. In the event Seller or Existing Owner enters into any such contracts or agreements after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Contingency Date that do not require Purchaser’s consent, then Seller shall provide
copies of such documents to Purchaser prior to the Contingency Date.
(c) Operation of Subject Property. Operate, maintain, repair and insure the Subject Property in a manner consistent with the existing operation, maintenance, repair and insurance of
the Subject Property.
5. Representations by Seller. As used in this Agreement, the phrase “to Seller’s knowledge” or words of similar import shall mean the actual knowledge of Josh Budish, after reviewing the Existing

Docusign Envelope ID: 6BE16E63-14C3-445C-994C-B6E3228E58E3
176666472v5
11
PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SUCH DEFAULT SHALL BE TO ELECT ONE, AND ONLY ONE, OF THE FOLLOWING REMEDIES, AS FOLLOWS: (A) TO
TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY WRITTEN NOTICE DELIVERED TO SELLER AND THE TITLE COMPANY AND TO RECOVER THE EARNEST MONEY, OR (B) SUBJECT TO THE TERMS SET FORTH BELOW, TO SPECIFICALLY ENFORCE (WHICH ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE MUST BE FILED AND SERVED UPON SELLER WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE 10-DAY PERIOD TO CURE DESCRIBED IN THIS SENTENCE, OR SUCH RIGHT SHALL BE DEEMED WAIVED) SELLER’S OBLIGATION TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER THE DEED AND TO CONVEY THE SUBJECT PROPERTY TO PURCHASER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, PURCHASER SHALL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO RECOVER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR TO OBTAIN OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT TO THE TERMS OF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO PURCHASER’S ELECTION TO PURSUE AN ACTION FOR
SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, PURCHASER SHALL HAVE FULLY PERFORMED ALL OF PURCHASER’S OBLIGATIONS AND MADE OR TENDERED ALL DELIVERIES REQUIRED TO BE PERFORMED OR DELIVERED ON OR BEFORE THE CLOSING,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DELIVERING OR TENDERING TO TITLE COMPANY THE BALANCE OF THE PURCHASE PRICE AND ALL OTHER FUNDS REQUIRED OF PURCHASER AND WITHOUT ASSERTING ANY EXCUSE OF
PURCHASER’S PERFORMANCE DUE TO SELLER’S DEFAULT OR OTHERWISE. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PURCHASER’S FULL PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS ABOVE IN EVERY DETAIL IS MATERIAL TO SELLER AND, THEREFORE, IF PURCHASER FAILS TO SATISFY ANY REQUIREMENTS, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO AN IMMEDIATE DISMISSAL OF ANY SUCH ACTION. IN NO EVENT SHALL PURCHASER HAVE THE RIGHT TO FILE A LIS PENDENS AGAINST THE REAL PROPERTY OTHER THAN IN CONNECTION WITH AN ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE AS PERMITTED ABOVE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ON PURCHASER’S REMEDIES APPLY TO ANY BREACH OF SELLER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OBLIGATION OF SELLER WHICH IS TO SURVIVE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR TO ANY ACTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 29 BELOW TO COLLECT ATTORNEYS’ FEES INCURRED BY PURCHASER IN (i) BRINGING ANY SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE ACTION THAT MAY BE PERMITTED UNDER THIS SECTION
10(a) OR, (ii) BRINGING ANY OTHER ACTION THAT MAY BE PERMITTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
(b) DEFAULT BY PURCHASER. IF PURCHASER DEFAULTS IN THE
PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CLOSE THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AND PURCHASER FAILS TO CURE THE DEFAULT PRIOR TO THE EARLIER OF TEN (10) DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF WRITTEN
NOTICE THEREOF FROM SELLER OR THE THEN SCHEDULED CLOSING DATE, SELLER WILL BE DAMAGED AND, SUBJECT TO THE LAST PARAGRAPH OF THIS SECTION 10(b), SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SUCH DEFAULT SHALL BE TO RECOVER THE EARNEST MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, SELLER SHALL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO RECOVER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR TO OBTAIN OTHER

176666472v5

PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ACTUAL DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLER ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH DEFAULT BY PURCHASER WOULD
BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL TO ASCERTAIN FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: (A) THE DAMAGES TO WHICH SELLER WOULD BE ENTITLED IN A COURT OF LAW WILL BE BASED IN PART ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ACTUAL VALUE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AT THE TIME SET FOR THE CLOSING AND THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT; (B) PROOF OF THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES WILL BE BASED ON OPINIONS OF VALUE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, WHICH CAN VARY IN SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS; AND (C) IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT AS OF THE DATE ON WHICH THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE WHETHER THE VALUE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WILL INCREASE OR DECREASE AS OF THE DATE SET FOR THE CLOSING. FURTHERMORE, PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SELLER HAD OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO SELL THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND RELIED UPON THE REPRESENTATIONS OF PURCHASER THAT IT WOULD PERFORM AND PURCHASE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM SELLER. PURCHASER DESIRES TO LIMIT THE
AMOUNT OF DAMAGES FOR WHICH PURCHASER MIGHT BE LIABLE SHOULD PURCHASER FAIL TO CLOSE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. PURCHASER AND SELLER WISH TO AVOID THE COSTS AND LENGTHY DELAYS WHICH WOULD RESULT IF
SELLER FILED A LAWSUIT TO COLLECT ITS DAMAGES FOR SUCH BREACH OR DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
THEREFORE, THE SUM REPRESENTED BY THE EARNEST MONEY SHALL BE
DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S DAMAGES AND, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF THE FAILURE TO CLOSE ESCROW RESULTING FROM PURCHASER’S BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO SUCH AMOUNT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE PARTIES AGREE THAT, IN NO EVENT, SHALL THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION APPLY TO ANY BREACH OF PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 3(a) OF THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER INDEMNITY PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OBLIGATION OF PURCHASER WHICH IS TO SURVIVE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY ACTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 29 BELOW TO COLLECT ATTORNEYS’ FEES INCURRED BY SELLER IN BRINGING ANY ACTION TO COLLECT LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FROM PURCHASER AS MAY BE PERMITTED UNDER THIS SECTION 10(b) OR BRINGING ANY OTHER ACTION THAT MAY BE PERMITTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. SUCH RETENTION OF THE EARNEST MONEY BY SELLER
IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER, AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY. PURCHASER HAS REVIEWED THE EFFECT OF THIS PROVISION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL AND HAS
AGREED THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE A REASONABLE AND FAIR ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES SELLER WILL SUSTAIN. THE OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10(b) SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
11. Damage. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any part of the Improvements are substantially damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall promptly give notice to Purchaser of such fact. Thereafter, at Purchaser’s option (to be exercised by Purchaser’s written notice to Seller given within fifteen (15) days after Seller’s initial notice to Purchaser), this Agreement shall terminate with respect to the Subject Property. In the event of any such termination of this Agreement, neither party will have any further obligations under this Agreement (other than the Surviving Indemnity Obligations, which obligations shall
survive any such termination), that Purchaser shall, at the request of Seller, execute any document
Docusign Envelope ID: 6BE16E63-14C3-445C-994C-B6E3228E58E3
176666472v5
13
reasonably requested by Seller to evidence such termination including, without limitation, a quit claim deed. If Purchaser fails to elect to terminate this Agreement (in the manner provided in this Section 11) despite
such damage, or if the Improvements are damaged but not substantially, Seller shall promptly commence to repair such damage or destruction and to return the damaged Improvements to substantially their condition prior to such damage. If such damage shall be completely repaired prior to the Closing Date, then there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall retain the proceeds of all insurance related to such damage. If such damage shall not be completely repaired prior to the Closing Date, but Seller is diligently proceeding to repair, then there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price and Seller shall complete the repair after the Closing Date and shall be entitled to receive the proceeds of all insurance related to such damage; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right to delay the Closing Date until repair is completed. For purposes of this Section 11, the phrase “substantially damaged” means damage that would cost more than $300,000 to repair.
12. Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing Date, eminent domain proceedings are commenced against all or any substantial part of the Subject Property, Seller shall immediately give notice to Purchaser of such fact and, at Purchaser’s option (to be exercised within fifteen (15) days after Seller’s notice), this Agreement shall terminate with respect to the Subject Property. In the event of any such termination, neither
party will have further obligations under this Agreement (other than the Surviving Indemnity Obligations, which obligations shall survive any such termination), except that Purchaser shall, at the request of Seller, execute any document reasonably requested by Seller to evidence such termination including, without
limitation, a quit claim deed.

condemnation proceedings. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall not designate counsel, appear in, or otherwise act with respect to the condemnation proceedings without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that if any action is necessary with respect to such proceeding to avoid any forfeiture or material prejudice, Seller shall be entitled to take such action as and to the extent necessary without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent. For purposes of this Section 12, the words “substantial part” means such a portion of the Subject Property that would, in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, materially adversely affect Purchaser’s intended use of the Subject Property in any material respect or would adversely affect access to the Property in any material respect.
