�here Pride and PrOSperity Meet
To: Mayor and City Council Members
Craig Woolery, Interim City Administrator
From: Robin Roland, Finance Director
Date: August 6, 2015
Subject: Consider Amendment#1 to the Land Transfer and Replacement Agreement
with Washington County
INTRODUCTION & DISCUSSION
In January 2005, the City of Cottage Grove entered into agreement #3029 with Washington
County. This agreement provided the land to be used to construct the government campus
which currently houses the South Washington County Service Center and the Cottage Grove
City Hall. The agreement called for the City to mitigate the portion of land used for the City
facilities prior to December 31, 2015.
The mitigation plan called for replacing the lower value Ravine Park property with higher quality
land acquired through park dedication as the City developed. At the time of the agreement, the
City was anticipating continued robust housing development. However, the 2007 recession
severely reduced the rate of residential development and although a good portion of the
mitigation has taken place, the City does not anticipate completing its commitment before the
December deadline.
In acknowledgment of the effects of the recession over the last seven years on the City's ability
to mitigate the land through park dedication, we are requesting a seven year extension of the
agreement with Washington County.
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve Amendment #1 to the Land transfer and replacement agreement with Washington
County extending the deadline for the City's mitigation to December 31, 2022.

� Page 2 of 2
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
1. Washington County and the City of Cottage Grove will work jointly to replace acre for
acre the I�nd removed from Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park, which the City and
County propose to use to build their public service facilities. The timeframe for
replacement will be January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2015. The replacement land shall
be adjacent to the Cottage Grove Ravine Park and have natural characteristics similar to
the park.
2. Acquisition of the replacement lands will be by direct purchase, eminent domain, or park
dedication.
a. If direct purchase or eminent domain is used to acquire the land, the County and the
City will pay a pro-rata share of the acquisition costs based on percentage of the
parkland acres used for the respective public institutional facilities.
b. If the land is obtained by the City through a land dedication to satisfy park dedication
requirements for the subdivision of adjacent property, the County will reimburse the
City for the loss of park dedication fees which would be paid to the City's Park Trust
Fund if a land dedication were not accepted. The amount of this reimbursement will
be based on a pro-rata share, based on the percentage of parkland areas used by
the County, of the fees which would be collected at the time of the land dedication.
3. As a condition subsequent to this Agreement, an agreement which defines the terms
and conditions of the planned County and City development of the parkland will be
executed upon approval of the Metropolitan Council allowing for the conversion of
Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park to public institutional use. This agreement shall
include specific terms including but not limited to ownership, financing, utilities, site
development, architectural standards, and financing.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by
their respective duly authorized representatives.
