II. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
III. APPROVE EXECUTION OF FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPERS
AGREEMENT FOR WINDSOR PLAZA AND QUIT CLAIM DEED FOR EDEN
ROAD
Neal said that as part of the Windsor Plaza development, a portion of Eden Road was
vacated;however, it was recently discovered that the City owns fee title to a small portion of
the underlying property. The development as approved by the City Council incorporates the
vacated Eden Road into the development. Therefore the developer is requesting that the City
execute and convey to the developer by Quit Claim deed, the small portion of Eden Road
owned by the City included in the vacation.
Minnesota Statutes requires that before the City disposes of any real property, the Planning
Commission review the proposed disposal and report to the City Council in writing its
findings as to compliance of the proposed disposal with the Comprehensive Plan. At its
November 14, 2007, meeting the Planning Commission found that the conveyance of the
portion of the vacated Eden Road owned by the City to Windsor Plaza, LLC, is in
compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Duckstad, to approve execution of the First
Amendment to the Developers Agreement for Windsor Plaza and the Quit Claim Deed for
Eden Road Motion carried 3-0.
