FROM: Jill Hutmacher, Community Development Director �5v
SUBJECT: Triangle Parcel
Background
In December 2010,the City entered into a Development Agreement with Presbyterian Homes for
the redevelopment of the Johanna Shores senior housing facility. As part of the agreement,
Presbyterian Homes agreed to convey to the City the parcel located at 3151 Lake Johanna
Boulevard(known as the"triangle parcel"). Because the triangle parcel was previously used as a
gas station, Presbyterian Homes agreed to, "at its cost, and prior to Closing, remove any tanks
and remove or remediate any hazardous substances to a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
standard for non-residential land use."
Presbyterian Homes has notified the City that it has received a Petroleum Tank Release Site File
Closure(Attachment A) from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA) and is prepared
to transfer the property to the City.
The City Council discussed investigation and remediation activities on the triangle parcel at its
January 22, 2013, Work Session meeting and determined that it is satisfied with the
environmental conditions of the triangle parcel.
The triangle parcel has been identified as a priority location for a Gateway Sign. Staff will
provide information on site improvement and landscaping options at a later date.
Recommendation
1. Approve Resolution 2013-009 authorizing acquisition of property located at 3151 Lake
Johanna Boulevard pending successful completion of title due diligence.
