PURCHASE OF COUNTY ROAD 42 EXCESS RIGHT-OF-WAY
Mr. Lovelace reviewed the Community Development Director’s memo dated April 7, 2003,
describing the recommendation to purchase excess right-of-way for County Road 42 from Dakota
County. The property would be combined into the plat of Knob Ridge Business Park and sold to
Manley Land Development. Dakota County approved the sale at $1.75 per square foot.
MOTION: of Hamann-Roland, seconded by Bergman, approving the purchase of the
remainder of parcel ID number 01-02600-010-76 from Dakota County, at a price
of $1.75 per square foot, and authorizing execution of the necessary documents as

LEGACY OF APPLE VALLEY UPDATE
Mr. Dougherty advised that the Board that a closing was scheduled yesterday on the sale of
property from D. W. Investment for The Legacy of Apple Valley plat. This plat contains the
Tuscany Apartment lot as well as one of the outlots that will be sold to Town & Country Builders
to be replatted as Legacy Square Townhomes. Before The Legacy plat could be released a letter
of credit was required to ensure that all Development Agreement requirements are completed.
The Hartford Group did not provide the letter of credit and would like to ask the City Council
that it be deferred until a building permit for the apartment is taken out. The original intent was
that these property closings were going to occur simultaneously. Award of a contract for the
improvements is on the Council meeting agenda and may need to be delayed until the letter of
credit issue is resolved.
MOTION: of Grendahl, seconded by Bergman, to adjourn. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 0.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:52 o’clock a.m.
