TO: Mayor Bailey and Members of the Cottage Grove City Council
FROM: Kori Land, City Attorney
DATE: January 27, 2016
RE: Restrictive Easement Agreement
As you know, as of November 1, 2015, the Cottage Grove EDA became the owner of the Home Depot
parcel. Although the plans are in place to sell the Home Depot parcel to Grove-Rainbow in the near
future, with our current ownership, we have the unique opportunity of being a party to the Restrictive
Easement Agreement (REA) that has limited the redevelopment of this shopping center area since 2002.
The parties involved in the new development of the shopping center have prepared a revised REA and
submitted it to our office and City Staff for review and approval. It is important to remember that
restrictive covenants run with the land for 25 years, so this will not expire until 2041. A summary of the
REA, is provided as follows:

language that this cross-parking easement requirement in the REA cannot change without the
prior written consent of the City.
Requirement that Grove-Rainbow remove the garden center build at least 64 stall on the Home
Depot site
Please note that the City is added as a party to the REA to confirm that all lots comply with
parking requirements as of the date of execution of the REA. All of the parcels have been through
the appropriate zoning approvals, so we can confirm that they all comply. However, if any uses
change so that the new use requires
parking requirements and go through the process to obtain those approvals.
STORMWATER DETENTION POND
All property owners (except the EDA) are responsible for the maintenance, repair and replacement of the
Stormwater Detention Pond through a cost-sharing arrangement, based the square footage of each lot.
SIGNS
shall be maintained by HyVee, with expenses to be shared by those with permission to use the

allocated between HyVee and the Mall tenants, with
HyVee on top.
The monument sign will be shared between HyVee (top), Noodles/Chipotle (middle) and HD
(bottom). The size of the Noodles/Chipotle portion of the sign will not change and HyVee and
HD will have to share the remainder of the sign.
It is important to note that not all parties have agreed to the terms of the REA so there may be a few
changes prior to execution.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve REA and authorize its execution, subject to minor modifications approved by the City Attorney.

the Grove-Rainbow Tract, the Owner of the 7180 Tract and the Owner of the Fairfield

a fraction, the numerator of which is the square footage of the land area of the Hy-Vee
Tract, the Grove Tract, Outlot A, the Grove-Rainbow Tract, the 7180 Tract, and the
Fairfield Tract, respectively, and the denominator of which is the square footage of the
aggregate of the land area of the Hy-Vee Tract, the Grove Tract, Outlot A, the Grove-

parcel of land, within or outside of the boundaries of the Shopping Center, that utilize the

obligation shall be secured by a lien in favor of the Owner of the Hy-Vee Tract, but such
lien shall only be perfected upon the date of filing or recording of an instrument

any Lot unless the Owner of such Lot fails to pay its pro rata share of the Detention

Subsection 8(b)(iii) shall be suspended and abated for such period(s) of time that the
EDA is the Owner of the Grove Tract; provided, however, in the event the EDA conducts
business upon the Grove Tract in any meaningful way, the EDA shall be obligated to
make the Detention Facility Expenses reimbursement payments described in this
Subsection 8(b)(iii).

23
Lots subject to such taxes or assessments, the Owner of the Lot or Lots subject to such taxes or
assessments being contested shall not be required to pay the same until the final determination of

reimbursement obligation shall be secured by a lien in favor of the Owner of the Hy-Vee Tract,

Owner shall so desire, to sub-meter the sign panels on the pylon sign on Signage Easement Area

its respective sign panel(s), as opposed to an amount based upon a pro rata share calculation. As

and/or for the monument sign on Signage Easement Area 2, shall mean the total costs incurred
by the Owner of the Hy-Vee Tract to maintain, operate, repair or replace the pylon sign on

thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice by the nonperforming Owner (or commenced to
cure within such thirty (30) day period if cure is not reasonably possible within such thirty (30)

receipt of notice from the self-help performing Owner of said alleged non-performance and the
intention of the self-help performing Owner to cure such non-performance, to (i) obtain and
serve upon the proposed self-help performing Owner a temporary or preliminary injunction, a
restraining order, or other equitable relief prohibiting the proposed self-help performing Owner
from taking any such action, or (ii) file (and serve upon the proposed self-help performing
Owner) an action for Declaratory Judgment or similar relief to adjudicate performance or non-
performance of any such maintenance obligations by the alleged non-performing Lot Owner.

things necessary to prevent the filing of any mO

Center, by reason of any work, labor or services performed, or any materials supplied or claimed
to have been performed or supplied to such Owner, or anyone holding any such Lot, or any part
29
thereof, through or under such Owner. If any such lien shall at any time be filed, such Lot
Owner shall either cause the same to be vacated and cancelled of record within twenty (20) days
of of the filing thereof or, if such Lot Owner in good faith
determines that such lien should be contested, such Lot Owner shall furnish such security by

proceedings for full and adequate relief from the consequences of said breach or threatened
breach, including without limitation, and in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity,
