Hosch Councilors Background: AI Rdssier In 2003, the EDA Board made a motion to hold the regularly scheduled board meetings Ross Rieke on the third Wednesday of every month.

At the November, 2003 meeting MDG, Inc. was directed to review the 2004 calendar and choose four weeks in which weekly office hours would not be held. Pursuant to the directive, MDG, Inc. proposes to not establish official office hours for the weeks of: July 5th November 22nd December 2ih In addition, MDG, Inc. proposes one floating week without established office hours to be used during a period of inclement weather or as negotiated.

Hosch Request: The Economic Development Authority has received a written petition for amendment to the Councilors "Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for the Buettner Business Park". AI Rdssier Ross Rieke The proposed amendment would exempt the following parcels from a required minimum lot Gdry Utsch size of three (3) acres: Odle Wick 1. Lot 1, Block 4 2. Lots 1 & 2, Block 3 A proposed amendment and restatement of the Buettner Business Park Covenants has been . drafted by the original property owner's attorney on behalf of the undersigned property owners. A sample of the document was received on January 14th for inclusion in the EDA packet. The original document is being circulated to all property owners within the Buettner Business Park, Buettner Business Park 2 and Buettner Business Park Three for signatures. Covenants currently in effect provide for amendment or modification pursuant to a written instrument executed by the owners of 70% of the property (measured by the square footage of the buildable lots) owners and approval by the St. Joseph Economic Development Authority. Additional information of percentage of property owners executing the proposed amendment is expected to be available at the EDA meeting. The City Attorney has received and will review a copy of the proposed amendment and restatement. Additional information regarding review by the City Attorney will be available at the EDA meeting. A copy of the following are attached for your information: 1. The proposed "Amendment and Restatement of Buettner Business Park Protective Covenants"; and, 2. A copy of the current "Buettner Business Park Protective Covenants" recorded at the county. Section 1 .03 - Alteration of Lot Lines is proposed to be amended by inserting the following statement: "Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated above, the subdivision restrictions contained herein shall not apply or restrict the subdivision of Lot 1, Block 4, . Buettner Business Park and Lots 1 and 2, Block 3, Buettner Business Park." 2.) College Avenue North' PO )ox 668' Sdint. Joseph. Minnesotd )6"374 Phone 12.0.,6'~:5 I:d x 12.0.,6,.0'42. . - - · The proposed language is found on page 4 of the proposed covenant amendment and restatement and would release said lots (currently zoned as B-2 Highway 75 Business) from a required minimum three-acre lot size. If approved the minimum lot size established by the City of St. Joseph Zoning Ordinance -10,000 sq. ft. with a minimum width of 100 feet would serve as the minimum lot size. Background: The request has been initiated due to uncertainty regarding whether or not certain parcels were/are subject to the minimum lot size requirements established by the amended covenants. Page one of the Covenants currently in effect reference an "Exhibit A" which is not attached to the recorded document. It is not clear at this time whether or not it was the intent of the EDA to require Lot 1, Block 4 and Lots 1 & 2 of Block Three of the Buettner Business Park be subject to the covenants or what document "Exhibit A" references. It is noted said parcels were exempted from the Sales and Marketing Agreement previously in effect by and between Mr. Buettner and the St. Joseph Economic Development Authority via an "Exhibit A". However, an "Exhibit A" recorded with the original covenants did subject said parcels to the covenants. The City Attorney has reviewed all correspondence relative to an "Exhibit A" and does not have a documented record of an attachment to the protective covenants. Recommendation: Due to the variation of type and intensity of uses allowed (i.e. Highway Business vs. Light Industrial), the market value of property and the EDA's desire to assist and promote commercial and industrial development it is recommended the request to relieve Lot 1, Block 4 and Lots 1 & 2, Block 3 from a minimum 3-acre lot size requirement be approved. · Action: Following discussion, if the EDA views the proposed amendment to release Lot 1, Block 4 and Lots 1 & 2, Block 3 from the three acre minimum lot size as favorable, a MOTION to approve the "Amendment and Restatement of Buettner Business Park Covenants" and to authorize the EDA President and Secretary to sign the Covenants, upon signature by a minimum of 70% of the property owners (calculated by by the square footage of the buildable lots), is in order. · :?i ~ - 1 I · I I 2 I I I I I 3 I I I I I 4- I- W 5 w II: 3.0 ACRES l- I I (t) I , :J: SOLD fu , 7 (t) 0 ~ ,I a I~ I I I 3.0 ACRES SOLD I I I I I I 10 I 1 , !
