MEMORANDUM
TO: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
FROM: Chelsea Petersen, Assistant City Manager
DATE: February 22, 2016 0 k5/
RE: Old Village Hall Lease
PROPOSED MOTION
"The City Council adopts the resolution approving the assignment of the current
lease agreement with Distinctive Ventures, LLC for the Old Village Hall property
to Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating, LLC."
Approval requires a simple majority vote of the council.
BACKGROUND
Under Distinctive Ventures, LLC, Mr. Tim Dale has been operating a franchise of
Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating out of Chanhassen's Old Village Hall since 2007. Mr.
Dale recently sold this franchise location, along with his locations in Savage and
Bloomington, to Seattle Sutton's Heathy Eating South Metro, LLC, which is operated
by Ms. Tracy Haelterman. Ms. Haelterman owned five franchises previously and with
the purchase of all of Mr. Dale's locations now owns and operates a total of eight
Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating locations in the metro.
Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating (www.seattlesutton.com) offers freshly prepared, pre-
packaged meals. Meals are delivered to the franchise locations, fully prepared and
sealed, twice a week. The meals are then picked up by the customer. In the past Mr.
Dale has had the Old Village Hall location open on Mondays and Thursdays from
3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Ms. Haelterman plans to keep this same schedule.
Highlights of the lease agreement are as follows:
• Term of the lease is for five years, beginning January 1, 2012 and ending
December 31, 2016.
• The annual rent is $5,400 ($450 per month) or $9.81/sq. ft.
• Tenant shall pay all utilities, taxes, and snow removal charges associated with
the property.
• The lease authorizes the building to be used as a retail outlet for the sale and
distribution of prepared meals. No food preparation or service will be allowed
under this lease.
• Either party can terminate the lease at any time with 90 days written notice.
• The tenant may not sublease the property without consent of the City.
• While the City provides insurance for the property, the tenant shall also carry
general liability insurance naming the City as an additional insured.
