IV. Business
A. Resolution 2024-05: Amendment to Façade Improvement Grant – 301 2nd St E
In October, HEDRA reviewed and approved a Façade Improvement Program Grant
submitted by Amy Sutton who represents Hastings Family Service, located at 301 2nd
Street E. At the time of application, the only quoted work that was submitted was for
the demolition of the awning with a note in the application that roof work may be
needed as well. Staff did not receive any quotes for roof or brick façade repair in the
initial application.
Additionally, there was a misunderstanding in the structure of the program, which led to
the Applicant to only submit the quote for the demolition, instead of the entire project.
The Applicant believed that the grant would have covered the entirety of project cost,
which is why they only submitted a portion of the project, the $4,800 for demolition.
After grant approval and the work was completed, the Applicant submitted for
reimbursement, which Staff processed and provided the $1,600 that was approved in
Resolution 2023-14. The Applicant reached out to Staff and asked for clarification as to
why only a portion of the project cost was reimbursed. Staff and the Applicant spoke
and realized that there had been a misunderstanding and the Applicant inquired if it
would be possible to be reconsidered for additional funding, using the 2:1 matching
system, but including the roof repair and façade work as well.
The Façade Improvement Program application states that work that was done prior to
receiving grant approval cannot be reimbursed. Staff believes that due to the
misunderstanding and lapse in communication on both sides, that the Applicant’s
request for additional funding should be considered by the HEDRA Board.
The repair work added an additional $4,050, which brings the total project cost to
$8,850. Using the 2:1 match requirement, the maximum award that could be given is
$2,950. Since the Applicant has already received $1,600, they would be reimbursed an
additional $1,350.
Action: Motion to approve Resolution 2024-05 approving an amendment to the
approved grant award in the amount of $2,950.00. Please see the attached invoices for
further information.
B. Sale of Property – SW Corner of South Frontage Road and Pleasant Drive
HEDRA is asked to take the following actions related to property sale:
1. Hold a Public Hearing to consider sale of property
2. Authorize Signature of the Purchase and Development Agreement between
HEDRA and Mint Development Company, LLC
The City Attorney has drafted the attached Purchase and Development Agreement for
the sale of land to Mint Development Company LLC. The 3.94 acre parcel is located at
the southwest corner of South Frontage Road and Pleasant Drive. Mint plans to
develop the property for a national retailer. The agreement follows discussion by
HEDRA at the February 8th meeting and action by the City Council on February 5th to
convey the property to HEDRA for future sale and development. The agreement
includes the following terms and conditions:
• Sale price of $850,000 ($4.95) per s.f.
• Payment of $10,000 in earnest money.
• Closing to take place prior to December 31, 2024

PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of
, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), by and between the Hastings Economic Development and
Redevelopment Authority, a public body corporate and politic organized under the laws of Minnesota
(“HEDRA”), and Mint Development Company LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company
(“Buyer”).
RECITALS
Recital No. 1. HEDRA was created pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.090
to 469.108, and authorized to transact business and exercise its powers by a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Hastings (“City”).
Recital No. 2. HEDRA is the owner of certain real property located in Hastings,
Dakota County, Minnesota, legally described on Exhibit A (the “Property”), attached hereto, and
incorporated herein by reference.
Recital No. 3. Buyer desires to purchase the Property from HEDRA.
Recital No. 4. HEDRA will sell the Property to Buyer on the terms and conditions of
this Agreement.
Recital No. 5. HEDRA believes that the sale of the Property pursuant to and in general
fulfillment of this Agreement is in the vital and best interests of the City, will promote the health,
safety, morals, and welfare of its residents, and will be in accord with the public purposes and
provisions of the applicable State and local laws and requirements.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and the mutual obligations
contain herein, the parties hereby covenant and agree with each other as follows:
1. Sale.
1.1. Sale. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, HEDRA shall
sell the Property to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase the Property from HEDRA.
1.2. Purchase Price. The purchase price to be paid by Buyer to HEDRA for
the Property shall be Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100s ($850,000.00) (the
“Purchase Price”) payable as follows: (a) Ten Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($10,000.00),
as “Earnest Money,” to be paid to DCA Title, 750 Main Street, Suite 280, Mendota Heights,
MN 55118 (“Title”) within ten (10) business days of execution this Agreement to be held
in escrow by Title (“Original Earnest Money”); and (b) the balance of the Purchase Price
on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 6) subject to those adjustments, prorations and
credits described in this Agreement, in cash or certified funds or by wire transfer pursuant
to instructions from HEDRA or Title. The Earnest Money is fully refundable to Buyer
until exercise of the First Extension Option pursuant to Section 6 below, and thereafter is
2
only refundable in connection with an uncured Seller default or as expressly provided in
this Purchase Agreement. Buyer and Seller agree to execute such escrow instructions as
Title reasonably requests to establish Title as escrow agent to hold the Earnest Money.
2. Available Surveys, Tests, and Reports. Within ten (10) days of the Effective
Date, HEDRA shall cause to be delivered to Buyer (a) copies of any surveys, soil tests,
environmental reports, and any other studies and/or site analyses previously conducted on the
Property and in the possession of HEDRA, and (b) copies of existing title work for the Property
and in the possession of HEDRA (the “Due Diligence Materials”). HEDRA makes no
representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of the Due Diligence Materials. If Buyer so
requests, HEDRA shall request the preparers of any such surveys, soil tests, environmental reports,
and any other studies and/or site analyses to re-issue or re-certify the same for the direct benefit of
Buyer, at Buyer’s expense except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, so that Buyer may rely
on such site analyses or surveys as if prepared for Buyer in the first instance, but HEDRA makes
no representation as to whether any such reissuance or recertification will be available.
3. Buyer’s Investigations. Up to the Closing Date, HEDRA shall allow Buyer and
Buyer’s agents access to the Property without charge and at all times for the purpose of Buyer’s
investigation and testing of the Property, including surveying and testing of soil and groundwater
(“Buyer’s Investigations”); provided, however, Buyer shall not perform any invasive testing unless
(a) HEDRA gives its prior written approval of Buyer’s consultant that will perform the testing,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (b) Buyer gives
HEDRA 24-hour prior notice of such testing. HEDRA shall have the right to accompany Buyer
during any of Buyer’s Investigations of the Property. Buyer shall provide to HEDRA copies of all
third-party, non-confidential written test results and reports conducted as part of Buyer’
Investigations. Except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer agrees to pay all of the costs and
expenses associated with Buyer’s Investigations, to cause to be released any lien on the Property
arising as a result of Buyer’s Investigations and to repair and restore, at Buyer’ expense, any
damage to the Property caused by Buyer’s Investigations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Buyer is not responsible for pre-existing conditions, including without limitation
Hazardous Materials discovered during Buyer’s Investigations. Buyer shall indemnify and hold
HEDRA and the Property harmless from all costs and liabilities, including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from Buyer’ Investigations, provided Buyer shall have no
obligation to defend, indemnify, save and hold harmless Seller from liability for Hazardous
Materials discovered by Buyer during its investigations of the Property or for Seller’s own
negligence. The indemnification obligations provided herein shall survive the termination or
cancellation of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated based upon any environmental
condition as herein provided, and HEDRA requests, Buyer shall give HEDRA copies of any and
all environmental reports obtained by Buyer, if any.
4. Insurance; Risk of Loss. HEDRA assumes all risk of destruction, loss, or damage
to the Property prior to the Closing Date. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any portion of the
Property or access thereto is condemned, taken by eminent domain, or damaged by cause of any
nature, HEDRA shall immediately give Buyer written notice of such condemnation, taking or
damage. After receipt of written notice of such condemnation, taking or damage (from HEDRA or
otherwise), Buyer shall have the option (to be exercised in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt
3
of such written notice from HEDRA) either (a) to require HEDRA to (i) convey the Property at
Closing (as defined in Section 6) to Buyer in its damaged condition, upon and subject to all of the
other terms and conditions of this Agreement without reduction of the Purchase Price, (ii) assign
to Buyer at Closing all of HEDRA’s right, title and interest in and to any claims HEDRA may
have to insurance proceeds, condemnation awards and/or any causes of action with respect to such
condemnation or taking of or damage to the Property or access thereto, and (iii) pay to Buyer at
Closing by certified or official bank check all payments made prior to the Closing Date under such
insurance policies or by such condemning authorities, or (b) to terminate this Agreement by giving
written notice of such termination to HEDRA, whereupon this Agreement shall be terminated, the
Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer and thereafter neither party shall have any further
obligations or liabilities to the other, except for such obligations as survive termination of this
Agreement. If the right to terminate this Agreement is not exercised in writing within such thirty
(30) day period, such right shall be deemed to have been waived. HEDRA shall not designate
counsel, appear in, or otherwise act with respect to the condemnation proceedings without Buyer’
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

agreements or other contracts of any nature or type relating to, affecting, or serving
the Property that will not be terminated as of the Closing Date.
J. There will be no indebtedness or sums due attributable to the
Property which will remain unpaid after the Closing Date.
As used in this Agreement, the term “to HEDRA’s knowledge” shall mean and
refer to only the current actual knowledge of the designated representative of HEDRA and
shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other officer, manager, director,
agent, authorized person, employee or representative of HEDRA, or any affiliate of
HEDRA, or to impose upon such designated representative any duty to investigate the
matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence thereof pertains, or to impose upon
such designated representative any individual personal liability. As used herein, the term
“designated representative” shall refer to John Hinzman. HEDRA represents and warrants
that the foregoing individual is the representative of HEDRA most knowledgeable
regarding the Property.
The representations, warranties and other provisions of this Section 9.1 shall
survive Closing; provided, however, HEDRA shall have no liability with respect to any
breach of a particular representation or warranty if Buyer shall fail to notify HEDRA in
writing of such breach within two (2) years after the Closing Date, and provided further
that HEDRA shall have no liability with respect to a breach of the representations and
warranties set forth in this Agreement if Buyer has actual knowledge of HEDRA’s breach
13
thereof prior to Closing and Buyer consummates the acquisition of the Property as provided
herein.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly specified in this
Agreement and/or in any documents executed and delivered by HEDRA at Closing,
HEDRA has not made, and HEDRA hereby specifically disclaims, any representation,
warranty or covenant of any kind, oral or written, expressed or implied, or rising by
operation of law, with respect to the Property, including, but not limited to, any warranties
or representations as to the habitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
title, zoning, tax consequences, physical or environmental condition, utilities, valuation,
governmental approvals, the compliance of the Property with governmental laws, or any
other matter or item regarding the physical condition of the Property. Buyer agrees that
except as expressly specified in this Agreement and/or in any documents executed and
delivered by HEDRA at Closing, Buyer shall accept the Property and acknowledges that
the sale of the Property as provided for herein is made by HEDRA on an “AS IS,”
“WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” basis. Buyer is an experienced purchaser of
property such as the Property and Buyer has made or will make its own independent
investigation of the Property. The limitations set forth in this paragraph shall survive the
Closing and shall not merge in the deed.
9.2. By Buyer. Buyer warrants and represents the following to HEDRA, and
acknowledges that HEDRA has relied on such representations and warranties in agreeing
to enter into this Agreement:
A. Buyer is a limited liability company, duly organized and in good
standing under the laws of the state of Minnesota and is not in violation of any
provisions of its company documents or its operating agreement.
B. Buyer has all requisite authority to enter into this Agreement and to
perform all of its obligations under this Agreement.
C. The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this

Buyer, (b) violate or contravene any provision of the articles of incorporation or
bylaws of Buyer, or (c) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any
indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or instrument to

D. Buyer have received no notice or communication from any local,
state, or federal official that the activities of the Buyer or HEDRA on the Property
may be or will be in violation of any environmental law or regulation. Buyer is
aware of no facts, the existence of which would cause it to be in violation of any
local, state, or federal environmental law, regulation, or review procedure or which
give any person a valid claim under any of the foregoing.
14
E. Buyer shall have satisfied the terms and conditions contained in this
Agreement prior to the Closing Date or posted surety bonds for future fulfillment
of all requirements contained in this Agreement.
The representations, warranties and other provisions of this Section 9.2 shall survive
Closing; provided, however, Buyer shall have no liability with respect to any breach of a particular
representation or warranty if HEDRA shall fail to notify Buyer in writing of such breach within
two (2) years after the Closing Date.
10. Additional Obligations of HEDRA.
10.1. Licenses and Permits. HEDRA shall transfer to Buyer all transferable
rights, if any, in any permits or licenses held by HEDRA with respect to the Property.
10.2. Condition of the Property at Closing. On the Closing Date, HEDRA shall
deliver to Buyer exclusive vacant possession of the Property.
10.3. Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date, HEDRA agrees to
execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Buyer such other documents or instruments of
transfer or conveyance as may be reasonably required to carry out its obligations pursuant
to this Agreement.
10.4. Non-Assumption of Contracts or Other Obligations. The parties
understand and agree that Buyer is only acquiring certain of HEDRA’s real property assets
and that this Agreement and any related agreements shall not be construed to be in any
manner whatsoever an assumption by Buyer of any agreements, indebtedness, obligations
or liabilities of HEDRA which are owing with respect to the operation of the Property prior
to the Closing Date.
10.5. Mortgages. On or before the Closing Date, HEDRA shall satisfy all
mortgage and/or lien indebtedness with respect to all or any portion of the Property and
shall obtain recordable releases of the Property from any and all such mortgages or other
liens affecting all or any portion of the Property.
10.6. Zoning; Other Approvals. Buyer may elect to seek certain Approvals as
defined in Section 5.1(A)(3) and Land Use Entitlements as defined in Section 5.1(A)(4) in
order for Buyer to develop the Property for the Proposed Use. HEDRA, at no out-of-pocket
cost to HEDRA, or the assumption of any obligations or liabilities by HEDRA, will
reasonably cooperate with Buyer’s efforts to obtain the Approvals and Land Use
Entitlements at or prior to Closing. HEDRA hereby grants Buyer the right to file and
prosecute applications and petitions for the Approvals, Land Use Entitlements and any
special use permits and variances desired by Buyer; provided, however, any special use
permits or variances shall be contingent on the occurrence of the Closing and shall not be
binding upon HEDRA or the Property unless and until the Closing occurs. HEDRA, at no
out-of-pocket cost to HEDRA, or the assumption of any obligations or liabilities by
15
HEDRA, agrees to cooperate with Buyer in the filing and prosecution of such applications
and petitions, including the filing of the same in HEDRA’s name, if required.
10.7. Certificate of Completion.
A. As part of the development of the Property, Buyer or its lessee will
be constructing a retail building and related improvements (“Minimum
Improvements”) consistent with the Proposed Use and pursuant to the final plans
submitted by Buyer or its lessee to the City (“Construction Plans”).
B. After substantial completion of the Minimum Improvements in
accordance with the Construction Plans approved by the City, HEDRA will furnish
Buyer with a Certificate of Completion. Such certification by HEDRA shall be a
conclusive determination of satisfaction and termination of the agreements and
covenants in this Agreement and in the Deed with respect to the obligations of
Buyer to construct the Minimum Improvements and the dates for the beginning and
completion thereof. The Certificate of Completion shall only be issued after
issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the City.
C. The Certificate of Completion provided for in this Section 10.7 shall
be in such form as will enable it to be recorded in the proper county office in Dakota
County, Minnesota for the recordation of deeds and other instruments pertaining to
the Property. If HEDRA shall refuse or fail to provide such certification in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.7, HEDRA shall, within thirty
(30) days after written request by Buyer, provide Buyer with a written statement,
indicating in adequate detail in what respects Buyer have failed to complete the
Minimum Improvements in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, or is
otherwise in default of a material term of this Agreement, and what measures or
acts will be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of HEDRA, for Buyer to take or
perform in order to obtain such certification.
D. Reconstruction of Minimum Improvements. If the Minimum
Improvements are damaged or destroyed before completion thereof and issuance of
a Certificate of Completion, to the extent payment is actually made to Buyer under
a valid and collectible insurance policy in connection with such specific claim, issue
or matter, Buyer agrees, for itself and its successors and assigns, to reconstruct the
Minimum Improvements within one (1) year of the date of the damage or
destruction. The Minimum Improvements shall be reconstructed in accordance with
the approved Construction Plans, or such modifications thereto as may be requested
by Buyer and approved by HEDRA, which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld. Buyer’s obligation to reconstruct the Minimum Improvements pursuant
to this Section 10.7(D) shall end when the Certificate of Completion is issued.
This Section 10.7 shall survive Closing.
11. Prohibition Against Sale; Encumbrances.
16
11.1 Prohibition Against Sale of Minimum Improvements for Five (5) Years.
Buyer represents and agrees that their use of the Property and other undertakings pursuant
to the Agreement, are, and will be, for the purpose of development of the Property for the
Proposed Use and not for speculation in land holding. Buyer further recognizes that in view
of the importance of the construction of the Minimum Improvements on the Property to
the general welfare of the City and the substantial assistance that has been made available
by HEDRA for the purpose of making such development possible, the fact that any act or
transaction involving or resulting in a significant change in the identity of Buyer are of
particular concern to HEDRA. Buyer further recognizes that it is because of such
qualifications and identity that HEDRA is entering into the Agreement with Buyer, and, in
so doing, is further willing to accept and rely on the obligations of Buyer for the faithful
performance of all undertakings and covenants hereby by it to be performed. For the
foregoing reasons, Buyer represents and agrees that, prior to the earlier of issuance of the
Certificate of Completion or five (5) years from the Closing Date, there shall be no sale of
the Property or the Minimum Improvements by Buyer nor shall Buyer suffer any such sale
to be made, without the prior written approval of HEDRA.
A. As security for the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement,
Buyer represents and agrees that prior to the issuance of the Certificate of
Completion, Buyer will maintain its existence as a Minnesota limited liability
company and shall not consolidate with or merge into another entity and shall not
dissolve or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets except as
permitted by this Agreement. Nothing herein shall prevent Buyer from selling or
issuing additional membership interests in Buyer. Buyer and any entity succeeding
to all or part of Buyer’s rights in the Minimum Improvements or any part under this
Section (“Successor Buyer”) may consolidate with or merge into another entity or
sell or otherwise transfer to a company or limited liability company, or other legal
entity, or an individual, all or any part of its interest in this Agreement and the
Minimum Improvements and thereafter be discharged from liability hereunder to
the extent of the interest so transferred, if Buyer or such Successor Buyer, as
applicable, is not in default of any of its material obligations under this Agreement,
if the transferee company, limited liability company, entity or individual enters into
a written agreement assuming all of the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement
not retained by Buyer, if any, with respect and to the extent of the interest so
transferred, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to HEDRA, and the
transferee company, limited liability company, entity or individual is financially
capable of and has experience in performing the obligations of Buyer under this
Agreement and is approved by HEDRA. In the event of a consolidation, merger,
or sale in accordance with this subsection, Buyer or other transferor shall not be
liable for any actions of the Successor Buyer or purchaser or have any liability
under this Agreement with respect to matters arising subsequent to such
consolidation, merger or sale which relate to the interest so transferred.
B. Buyer or any Successor Buyer may not sell or convey the Property
and its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such parcel to
17
another entity, whether or not such Successor Buyer is under common management
and control with Buyer, or is related to Buyer, except in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 11.1 no such sale, transfer,
conveyance, or lease shall be effective or recognized for any purpose hereunder,
unless:
(1) The Successor Buyer will assume all of Buyer’s obligation
under any agreement relative to a credit provider and the Successor Buyer
is approved by the credit provider and enters into a written assumption
agreement reasonably acceptable to the credit provider; and
(2) The Successor Buyer will assume all of Buyer’s financial
obligations to HEDRA and the Successor Buyer is approved by HEDRA
and enters into a written assumption agreement in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to HEDRA.
11.2 Limitation Upon Encumbrance of Property. Prior to the issuance of the
Certificate of Completion, except for a first mortgage lien for acquisition and development
as contemplated pursuant to Section 5.1(A)(12), Buyer agrees not to engage in any
financing creating any mortgage or other encumbrance or lien upon the Property or the
Minimum Improvements, whether by express agreement or operation of law, or suffer any
encumbrance or lien to be made on or attached to the Property or the Minimum
Improvements, other than the liens or encumbrances directly and solely related to
construction of the Minimum Improvements and approved by HEDRA, which approval
shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably if HEDRA determines that such lien or
encumbrance will not threaten its security in the Property or the Minimum Improvements.
This Section 11 shall survive Closing.
12. Commissions. It is acknowledged that there is not a broker for HEDRA. Buyer
has engaged CBRE, who shall be paid by Buyer at Closing, pursuant to a separate agreement.
13. Notice. Any notice to be given by one party hereto shall be personally delivered
(including messenger delivery), by email at the address set forth below, or be sent by registered or
certified mail, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier which issues a receipt, in each case
postage prepaid, to the other party at the addresses in this Section (or to such other address as may
be designated by notice given pursuant to this Section), and shall be deemed given upon personal
delivery, three (3) days after the date postmarked, one (1) business day after delivery to such
overnight courier, or immediately upon personal delivery or delivery by email. Attorneys for each
party shall be authorized to give and receive notices for each such party.

14. Default; Remedies.
14.1 Events of Default Defined. Each and every one of the following shall be
an Event of Default under this Agreement:
A. Failure by HEDRA or Buyer to proceed to Closing on the Property
after compliance with or the occurrence of all conditions precedent to Closing;
B. Failure by Buyer to commence and complete construction of the
Minimum Improvements unless such failure is caused by an Unavoidable Delay.
“Unavoidable Delays” means delays beyond the reasonable control of the party
seeking to be excused, which are the direct result of strikes, other labor troubles,
weather, fire, terrorism, or other casualty to the Minimum Improvements; litigation
commenced by third parties which, by injunction or other similar judicial action,
results in delays, or acts of any federal, state or local governmental unit (other than
HEDRA in exercising its rights under this Agreement) that result in delays;
C. Failure by Buyer to pay real estate taxes or special assessments on
the Property and Minimum Improvements as they become due;
D. Use by Buyer or others of the Minimum Improvements for purposes
other than the Proposed Use;
19
E. Sale of the Property or the Minimum Improvements or any part
thereof by Buyer in violation of Section 11.1 of this Agreement without the prior
written permission by HEDRA;
F. If Buyer shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors or shall consent to the appointment of a
receiver; or
G. Failure by any party to observe or perform any material covenant,
condition, obligation, or agreement on its part to be observed or performed under
this Agreement.
14.2 Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default referred to in
Section 14.1 of this Agreement occurs, the non-defaulting party may take any one or more
of the following actions after providing thirty (30) days’ written notice to the defaulting
party of the Event of Default, but only if the Event of Default has not been cured within
said thirty (30) days or, if the Event of Default is by its nature incurable within thirty (30)
days, the defaulting party does not provide assurances to the non-defaulting party
reasonably satisfactory to the non-defaulting party that the Event of Default will be cured
and will be cured as soon as reasonably possible:
A. Suspend its performance under this Agreement, including refusing
to close on the Property, until it receives assurances from the defaulting party,
deemed adequate by the non-defaulting party, that the defaulting party will cure its
default and continue its performance under this Agreement;
B. Terminate or rescind this Agreement;
C. If the default occurs prior to completion of the Minimum
Improvements and remains uncured following the cure period, HEDRA may
withhold the Certificate of Completion;
D. Take whatever action, including legal or administrative action,
which may appear necessary or desirable to the non-defaulting party to collect any
payments due under this Agreement, or to enforce performance and observance of
any obligation, agreement, or covenant of the defaulting party under this
Agreement.
14.3 Revesting Title in HEDRA on Failure to Commence Construction
Subsequent to Conveyance to Buyer. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. §469.105 subd. 5, if Buyer
fails to commence construction pursuant to this Agreement within one (1) year from the
Closing Date, HEDRA shall have the right to re-enter and take possession of the Property
and to terminate the estate conveyed in the Deed to Buyer, it being the intent of this
provision that the conveyance of the Property to Buyer shall be made upon and a deed
containing a condition subsequent to the effect that in the event that Buyer fails to
commence construction pursuant to this Agreement and fails to request and receive
20
additional time for commencement, HEDRA at is option, may declare a termination in
favor of HEDRA of the title and of all the rights and interests in and to the Property
conveyed to Buyer. In such circumstances, all title, rights and interests of Buyer and any
assigns or successors in interest to and in the Property, shall revert to HEDRA. If Buyer
does commence construction pursuant to this Agreement within one year from the Closing
Date, a Release of Right to Re-enter and Revest shall be filed with Office of the County
Recorder in and for the County of Dakota and State of Minnesota memorializing the
commencement of Minimum Improvements and releasing Buyer from HEDRA’s right to
re-enter and take possession of the parcel and to terminate the estate conveyed in the Deed
to Buyer pursuant to Minn. Stat. §469.105, subd. 5, although all additional covenants and
provisions of this Agreement and the Deed shall remain in effect.
14.4 Resale of Reacquired Property; Disposition of Proceeds. Upon the
revesting in HEDRA of title to and/or possession of the Property or any part thereof as
provided above, HEDRA shall, pursuant to its responsibilities under law, use its best efforts
to sell the Property or part thereof as soon and in such manner as HEDRA shall find feasible
to a qualified and responsible party, who will assume the obligation of making or
completing Minimum Improvements or such other improvements in their stead as shall be
satisfactory to HEDRA in accordance with the uses specified for such parcel or part thereof.
During any time while HEDRA has title to and/or possession of a parcel obtained by
reverter, HEDRA will not disturb the rights of any tenants under any leases encumbering
such parcel. Upon resale of the Property or any part thereof, the proceeds thereof shall be
applied:
A. First, to reimburse HEDRA for all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by HEDRA, including but not limited to brokerage fees, all taxes,
assessments and water and sewer charges accrued with respect to the Property or
part thereof prior to revesting of title; any payments made or necessary to be made
to discharge any encumbrances or liens existing on the Property or part thereof at
the time of revesting of title thereto in HEDRA or to discharge or prevent from
attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens due to obligations,
defaults or acts of Buyer, or Successor Buyer; any expenditures made or obligations
incurred by HEDRA with respect to the making or completion of the Minimum
Improvements; and any amounts otherwise owing HEDRA by Buyer or its
Successor Buyer; and
B. Second, to reimburse Buyer or Successor Buyer, up to the amount
equal to (i) the Purchase Price paid by Buyer; plus (ii) the amount actually invested
by it in making any of the subject improvements on the Property or part thereof,
less (iii) any gains or income withdrawn or made by it from the Agreement or the
Property.
C. Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained
by HEDRA as its property.
Nothing in this Section 14 shall in any way affect or diminish Buyer’s right to terminate this
21
Agreement in accordance with Section 5.1. These provisions in Section 14.3 and 14.4 shall survive
Closing.
14.5 No Remedy Exclusive. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the parties is intended to be exclusive of any other available right or remedy
herein or provided by law, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall
be in addition to every other right or remedy given under this Agreement or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any
right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be
construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time
to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle HEDRA or Buyer to
exercise any remedy reserved to it, it shall not be necessary to give notice, other than such
notice as may be required in Section 14.2 of this Agreement.
14.6 No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any covenant
or agreement contained in this Agreement should be breached by either party and thereafter
waived by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived
and shall not be deemed to waive any other concurrent, previous or subsequent breach
hereunder.
15. Other Obligations of Buyer.
15.1. Administrative Costs. HEDRA has incurred and will continue to incur
administrative costs in reviewing, analyzing, negotiating, and studying the Minimum
Improvements and this Agreement. In consideration of the time, effort, and expenses to be
incurred in pursuing the undertakings set forth herein, on or before execution of this
Agreement, Buyer agrees to pay $600 for the costs of certain consulting fees, including
planning, financial, attorneys, engineering, testing and any special meetings. This fee shall
be due at Closing.
16. Cumulative Rights. No right or remedy conferred or reserved to HEDRA or Buyer
is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law provided, but each shall
be cumulative in and in addition to every other right or remedy existing at law, in equity or by
statute, now or hereafter.
17. Assignment. Buyer may assign this Agreement with the prior written consent of
HEDRA; provided that an assignment simultaneous with closing to a special purpose entity formed
to acquire the Property shall be allowed. No assignment shall relieve Buyer from its obligations
under this Agreement.
18. Entire Agreement; Modification. This written Agreement constitutes the
complete agreement between the parties with respect to this transaction and supersedes any prior
oral or written agreements between the parties regarding this transaction. There are no verbal
agreements that change this Agreement and no waiver of any of its terms will be effective unless
in writing executed by the parties.
22
19. Binding Effect; Survival. This Agreement binds and benefits the parties and their
respective successors and assigns. All representations and warranties, and indemnification
obligations of the parties hereto shall survive the Closing.
20. Governing Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.
21. Rules of Interpretation. The words “herein” and “hereof” and words of similar
import, without reference to any particular section or subdivision, refer to this Agreement as a
whole rather than any particular section or subdivision hereof. References herein to any particular
section or subdivision hereof are to the section or subdivision of this Agreement as originally
executed.
22. Titles of Sections. Any titles of the sections, or any subsections, of the Agreement
are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall be disregarded in construing or interpreting
any of its provisions.
23. Counterparts; Facsimiles. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, and all of the signatures to this Agreement taken together shall constitute one and the
same agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute such agreement by signing any such
counterpart. Facsimile or “PDF” signatures on this Agreement shall be treated as originals until
the actual original signatures are obtained.
24. Represented by Counsel. Each party has been represented and advised by counsel
in the transaction contemplated hereby.

Real property located in the County of Dakota, State of Minnesota, legally described as
follows:
All of the parcel dedicated as Public Land on the plat of Bauer’s Second Addition recorded
on August 29, 1968 as Document No. 352204;
EXCEPT that part dedicated as Parcel 259P on the Minnesota Department of
Transportation Right Of Way Plat No. 19-89 recorded on August 29, 1989 as
Document No. 901710;

Abstract Property
PID: 19-13401-04-101
[Commitment legal description to govern]
City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender and City Council
From: John Hinzman, Community Development Director
Date: February 5, 2024
Item: Resolution: Convey Property to HEDRA – SW Corner of Pleasant and South Frontage
Rd
Council Action Requested:
Adopt the attached resolution conveying a 3.94 acre parcel located at the southwest corner of
Pleasant Drive and South Frontage Road to HEDRA for future sale and development. A simple
majority is necessary for action.
Subject Parcel:
The 3.94-acre property is located north of 12th Street, directly east of Dakota CDA’s Hastings
Marketplace Townhomes, and across Pleasant Drive from Westview Mall. Property is vacant
with a portion of the property used for stormwater drainage. The City has received a Letter of
Interest to acquire the property for $850,000 from CBRE on behalf of Mint Development LLC
(Rob Barse) to develop for a national retailer.
Council Committee Review
The Planning Committee of City Council (Chair Fox, Folch, and Leifeld) reviewed the potential
sale and development of the property at the January 22, 2024 meeting. Committee members
were generally supportive of selling the property for private development. At the meeting, the
Committee also reviewed sale of a similar property located directly to the north (east of Pleasant
Hill Library) and did not recommend doing so at this time, directing City staff to consult with
Dakota County for potential interest.
Advisory Commission Review
Upon action by the City Council, HEDRA would consider sale of the property at the February 8,
2024 meeting.
History
The property was dedicated forever as “Public Land” by Leonard C and Rosella Bauer per the
recoding of the Bauers 2nd Addition Plat in 1968. It is unclear why the property was designated
as such.
The City Attorney’s office has concluded that the parcel could be sold for private development
and not be subject to the public use restrictions. Although the plat identifies the land as “public
use forever”, state statutes limit that restriction to 30 years. The public use provision expired in
1998.
Zoning and Land Use
The parcel is zoned R-1 Low Density Residential and guided for Mid Density Residential
Development in the Comprehensive Plan. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning
would be needed to accommodate commercial development.
Analysis
• Does the City see a future public use for one or both parcels? Staff is unaware of any
planned public uses.
• Prominent Location. The parcel is located near the Pleasant Drive and Highway 55
stoplight and are in the vicinity of other commercial development.
• Land Use Changes. The parcel would need a comprehensive plan amendment and
rezoning to accommodate commercial development.
• Availability of Commercial Development Land. Along the Highway 55 corridor there
are approximately three vacant land sites presently marketed for commercial
development. They are all owned by Nick Conzemius and located near the north side of
Highway 55 and General Sieben Drive and range from 1-2 acres in size.
• Ponding. The site presently contains stormwater drainage facilities for neighboring
parcels. Future site development would likely need to accommodate for present and
future stormwater needs.
Attachment

purposes of Minn. Stat. Sections 469.090 to 469.108; and the appropriate officials are
authorized to take such action so as to effectuate such conveyance.
3. That said sale has no relationship to the City’s Comprehensive Plan and therefore the
Hastings City Council has dispensed with the requirements of Minn. Stat. § 462.356,
Subd. 2, that may require the Hastings Planning Commission to perform a
Comprehensive Plan compliance review of said sale that may constitute a disposal of
real property pursuant to § 462.356, Subd. 2.
