APPROVE RELEASE FROM ASSESSMENT AGREEMENT, HENDRICKSON BROS.
DRYWALL BUILDING, 7801 PARK DRIVE.
Hokkanen: The Hendrickson Drywall building was part of TIF #1 which was decertified in
2004. The building changed ownership last week and one of the things that the title company
asked for as a part of that closing was their release from the special assessment agreement, which
is a routine request that you considered on a number of those over the past few years. We
reviewed the file. Find the project to be compliant with the assessment agreement and would
recommend that you release it.
Furlong: Thank you. Any questions for staff? Any discussion?
Litsey: Straight forward.
Furlong: It is. If there’s no discussion or questions, would someone like to, one of the members
propose a motion please.
Tjornhom: I’ll make the motion. I make the motion the Chanhassen Economic Development
Authority authorizes the Release of Land from Assessment Agreement Chanhassen HRA Special
Assessment Reduction Agreement.
Mayor Furlong: There were about 4 agreements in that. I’m sorry. Is there a second?
Ernst: Second.
McDonald: Second.
Furlong: Thank you. Somebody better or we’ll have to re-read it. Any discussion on the
motion?
