Adopt Resolution #23-058 Declaring Development Agreement Satisfied and Authorizing Release from Property - Lord of Life Church

Lord of Life Church at 14501 Nowthen Blvd. NW is comprised of property that has been subdivided multiple times over the years.  Portions of the property are still encumbered by development agreements that are not associated with the Church itself.  The western portion of the property was once a remnant outlot from the early-1990s Sunny Ponds residential subdivision to the northwest.  In 2012, Lord of Life sold the southern portion of their property for development of the Stoney River senior living complex.  These two development agreements are showing up on the Church's property title.  

The Church is working with Presbyterian Homes on developing portions of the site for senior living and multi-family buildings.  Cleaning up the title is just one of many steps for that project.  It is not uncommon for property owners to request releases from satisfied development agreements or expired conditional use permits, especially when a property sale is anticipated.  The property owner records the resolution approving the release against the property with the Anoka County Recorder's office. 

The City Council approved the release of Sunny Ponds agreement on February 14.  The other development, Stoney River, however, still needs as-built civil plans submitted to be truly completed.  The proposed resolution does not release the agreements from the Stoney River property as that owner is still responsible for producing the documents.  The attached resolution acknowledges that there are no further obligations needed from the Lord of Life property.  Staff has reached out to Stoney River's design team for the needed documents without avail.  
 

None required. 

This request is being done as a normal part of staff's duties.  Recording costs are the responsibility of the property owner.  

Staff recommends approval of the resolution. 

Motion to waive the City Charter provision of reading a resolution aloud and adopt Resolution #23-058 Declaring Development Agreement Partially Satisfied and Authorizing Release from Property.
