Purchase Agreement for Lot 1, Block 1, Old Village Hall (formerly
known as Pony-Pauly-Przymus property)
BACKGROUND
In April 2004, staff presented a development concept to the Chanhassen
Economic Development Authority for City-owned land adjacent to Old Village
Hall. The City acquired this land as part of the downtown redevelopment process
and for realignment of W. 78th Street and Great Plains Boulevard. The concept
presented in April included an 8,000 square foot daycare and a 1,800 square foot
freestanding coffee shop with a drive-thru. The EDA gave staff direction to
continue negotiations with the developer and if possible to return with a purchase
agreement.
Since the April EDA meeting, staff has met with the developer and daycare
franchisee numerous times. In the end, it was determined that locating both the
daycare and coffee shop on this site would be very difficult. Therefore, the
proposed purchase agreement includes only the daycare, but staff is working with
the coffee shop to find another suitable location in the general area.
Highlights of the proposed purchase agreement include:
· Purchase price of $598,950 ($11.00 per square foot)
· $10,000 in earnest money will be deposited at the time of signing the
agreement. This money will be applied against the purchase price at the
time of closing. If the City performs all its duties outlined in the
agreement, and the buyer does not conclude the purchase, the City may
retain the earnest money.
· Goddard Learning Centers will build an 8,000 square foot daycare
building
· Site plan review by the Planning Commission and City Council will occur
this fall
· Parking for the Chamber of Commerce and Homestead Church (tenants of
Old St. Hubert's Church) will be maintained
· Re-Max Action West will continue to have a cross-access easement across
the property for access to their building
· Closing is to be held 60 days from the execution of the purchase
agreement (contingent on site plan approvals). The closing date can be

Closing
Staff believes that a daycare is a good use for this site for a number of reasons.
First, the parking demand will coordinate with the other uses of the parking lot.
While the daycare will need spaces during weekdays, the church needs parking at
nights and on the weekends. Second, a daycare is a "two trip" use, meaning that
parents will need to make two trips to downtown Chanhassen each day (one to
drop off their children and another to pick-up). This will help the downtown
businesses as more visits are made to the area. Third, Chapel Hill Academy is
across the street and adding a pre-school to the area will complement the
elementary school users already in the area.
RECOMMENDATION (approval requires a simple ma. iority)
Staff recommends that the Chanhassen Economic Development Authority
approve the attached purchase agreement with Fred and Valaire Riese for Lot 1,
Block 1, Old Village Hall and confirm that the sale of this land is in accordance
with the City of Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan.
