3. NEW BUSINESS
A. Option to Purchase Agreement with MGM Liquors
Administrator Joynes stated Council and staff have discussed an Option to Purchase Agreement with Mr.
Steve Sloan, the person who holds the MGM liquor franchise in the City of Tonka Bay, for a number of
months. He noted the meeting packet contains a copy of a draft Letter of Intent to proposed Option
Agreement that he, Attorney Keane and Mr. Sloan have negotiated. The Letter outlines what an Agreement
would look like. Staff is recommending that the Shorewood Economic Development Authority (EDA) direct
staff to prepare the Agreement and bring it back to the Board for consideration during its September 8,
2014, meeting. Once the Agreement is approved by the Board and signed by Mr. Sloan, the off-sale
intoxicating liquor license for Wine & Spirits by JD, Inc. dba MGM Wine and Spirits, that the Shorewood
Council discussed during its meeting immediately preceding this meeting, will be signed and submitted to
the State of Minnesota. He noted that Attorney Keane has been involved in all negotiation meetings except
for the last one.
Attorney Keane explained that the concept is that the City has a one-way right to purchase the property
located at 5660 County Road 19 with proper and extended notice to the store operator at a fixed price. The
circumstance that would give rise to that is if the City receives a development proposal that anticipates

putting together an assemblage of land that would include the 5660 parcel. The Option to Purchase
Agreement will establish a price for the exercise amount so the City has some surety that the property can
be incorporated into the development project without paying an exorbitant price for the property. The value
of the real estate is established by the market price Mr. Sloan is paying for the property so the liquor
license would not create an extraordinary gap of value in the future. What has been negotiated seems to be
fair for both parties. Mr. Sloan would like to be a store incorporated into a development project should a
project come to fruition.
President Zerby noted that the Board is aware that discussions and negotiations have been going on for
quite some time.
Boardmember Hotvet asked Attorney Keane to clarify what Property in the Letter covers. Keane explained
that it is the building and the land under and around it. In response to another question from Hotvet, Keane
explained the City has the right to exercise the option if the right deal comes along and the developer wants
to incorporate the 5660 property into a future project. The City can tender to a developer that the developer
can include the parcel in the proposed project and that the property will be available on a specific date for a
specific price. That will create certainty for a future developer.
Attorney Keane noted that Mr. Sloan did not want permanent encumbrance on his property and that seemed
reasonable. Mr. Sloan wanted a shorter time and the City wanted as much time as reasonably possible.
Siakel moved, Hotvet seconded, approving the Letter of Intent to Option Agreement with Real Estate
Holdings by JD, LLC and directing Attorney Keane to prepare the Option Agreement for execution.
Motion passed 3/0.

-2-
4824-4969-1422.2
4.1 Giving Optionor at least 12 months prior written notice of Optionee’s exercise

Exceptions.
5.2.2 Legal and actual possession of the Property and every part thereof.

-3-
4824-4969-1422.2
5.3 Adjustment to the Purchase Price. The initial Purchase Price shall be deemed
the “Base Amount” for the property. Upon Optionee’s exercise of the Option, the Purchase
Price of $491,000.00 shall be adjusted by a fraction with the denominator being the assessed
value of the property on January 2, 2015 (for taxes payable in 2016), and the numerator
nd
being the assessed value of the property on January 2 of the year of closing (for taxes
payable in the following calendar year). For example: If the assessed value for tax purposes
on January 2, 2015, is $500,000.00 (for the 2016 calendar year); and the assessed value for
nd
tax purposes on January 2 in the year of closing is $625,000.00 (for taxes payable in the
following calendar year), then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted multiplying the Base
Amount by 1.25% (based upon $625,000.00/$500,000.00), which by way of this example
equals $613,750.00.
5.4 Payment of Purchase Price. At the closing, Optionee shall pay the Purchase
Price to Optionor, less the amount of the Earnest Money. The Purchase Price may be paid by
certified or bank cashier’s check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and may
be deposited with the Escrow Agent for disbursement to Optionor by Escrow Agent’s trust
account check. The Earnest Money shall be applied to and credited against the Purchase
Price and shall be disbursed to Optionor by the Escrow Agent upon closing.
5.5 Closing Adjustments. The following adjustments shall be made at the closing:
5.5.1 General real estate taxes in respect of the Property due and payable in
the year of closing shall be prorated on a daily basis as of the day of closing, with Optionor
responsible for those allocable to the period prior to the day of closing and Optionee
responsible for those allocable subsequent thereto.
5.5.2 Optionor shall pay in full at the closing all special and area assessments
(and charges in the nature of or in lieu of such assessments) levied or pending as of the
closing date in respect of the Property.
5.5.3 All utility expenses, including, but not limited to, water, fuel, gas,
electricity, telephone, sewer, trash removal, heat and other services furnished to or provided
for the Property shall be prorated on a daily basis as of the closing date. Optionor agrees to
have all meters on the Property, if any, read within two days prior to the closing date.
5.5.4 Optionor shall pay all title charges for abstracting and the issuance of
the title commitment and Optionee shall pay the premium for Optionee's title insurance
policy.
5.5.5 Any closing fee payable to the Title Company shall be borne equally by
Optionor and Optionee.
If any of the amounts to be apportioned under this Section cannot be calculated with
complete precision because the amount or amounts of one or more items included in such
calculation are not then known, such calculation shall be made on the basis of reasonable
-4-
4824-4969-1422.2
estimates of Optionor and Optionee, subject to prompt adjustment (by additional payment by
Optionee to Optionor or by refund from Optionor to Optionee) when the amount of any such
item become known. The obligations under this Section shall survive the closing.
5.6 Relocation Benefits. At the time of closing, Optionor shall be paid all
business relocation benefits to which it is entitled as provided in 42 U.S. Code Ch. 61.
6. Title. Within fifteen days (15) days after Optionor enters into a purchase
agreement for Optionor’s purchase of the Property with the current owner, Optionor shall
deliver to Optionee Schedule B of the current ALTA Owner’s Policy, with the Permitted
Exceptions from coverage to include as Exhibit A of this Agreement. Within fifteen (15)
days of Optionee’s exercise of the Option, Optionor shall furnish to Optionee a commitment
to insure title to the Property on the then current ALTA Form B in an amount equal to the
purchase price hereunder, with provision to increase the policy amount to cover the cost of
improvements to be constructed by Optionee, issued by the Title Company, showing
Optionor as owner of the Property, subject only to Permitted Exceptions, deleting all
standard exceptions to coverage, containing such affirmative insurance as Optionee may
reasonably require (including zoning, access, contiguity, and survey accuracy), and otherwise
satisfactory to Optionee and its legal counsel. Although the warranty deed may be delivered
subject to Permitted Exceptions, Optionee may object to marketability and/or terminate this
Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2 based upon a review thereof and the survey. Unless
written objections are made to title or such commitment within twenty (20) days after
Optionee's receipt the original Permitted Exceptions included on Exhibit A, or such
commitment and the survey to be delivered pursuant to Section 7 after Optionee’s exercise of
the Option, they shall be deemed waived. If any objections are so made, Optionor shall be
allowed such period as Optionee specifies in its objection notice (but which period shall not
be less than thirty (30) nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter) to make
such title marketable or modify the commitment as required by such objection notice and
shall use best efforts to do so. Pending such efforts, the Closing Date and the expiration of
the then Term shall be postponed if the same would occur prior to expiration of such time
period, but no such objection or cure period shall affect Optionee’s right to exercise the
Option at any time during the Term. Optionee shall also have the right to object to title or the
commitment from time to time after said twenty (20) day period if, by subsequent
endorsement, the commitment is amended. If the objections are cured within the time
permitted, the closing shall occur as otherwise provided in this Agreement. If the objections
are not cured within the time permitted or Optionee does not receive the closing endorsement
described below, then Optionee may either: (a) terminate this Agreement (including, if
applicable, the agreement formed by exercise of the Option) by giving written notice thereof
to Optionor and thereupon the Option Consideration shall be returned to Optionee; or (b)
close the purchase contemplated hereby if, as and when otherwise required pursuant to the
terms hereof. In addition, Optionee's obligation to purchase the Property shall be contingent
upon receipt of an endorsement to the title commitment at the closing changing the effective
date thereof to the date of the closing and showing Optionee as the fee owner of the Property
and without any other change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Optionor shall not, except
with the agreement of Optionee, be allowed any additional time beyond the otherwise
-5-
4824-4969-1422.2
scheduled closing date to cure any mortgage or other lien securing the payment of money,
but shall pay and discharge the same of record at the closing.
7. Survey. Within thirty (30) days after Optionee’s exercise of the Option,
Optionor shall, at its expense, furnish to Optionee a current survey of the Property, prepared
and certified by a registered land surveyor. The survey shall: (a) conform to the "Minimum
Standard Detail Requirements for Land Title Surveys" as then adopted by the American
Land Title Association and the American Congress on Surveying & Mapping; (b) contain the
certification in the form of Exhibit B; and (c) show and certify to the Net Area of the
Property and such other matters as Optionee or its legal counsel may reasonably require,
including after review of the initial survey if the same reflects any state of facts reasonably
warranting additional investigation or certification by the surveyor. The survey shall be
deemed received by Optionee for purposes of Section 6 only when a survey conforming to
the foregoing requirements has been received by Optionee. All certifications shall run in
favor of Optionee, the Title Company and any other party designated by Optionee.
8. Conditions Precedent. If any of the conditions set forth in this Section 8 are
not fulfilled within the time specified below, Optionee may, in its absolute discretion,
terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Optionor and thereupon the
Option Consideration shall be returned to Optionee. The conditions set forth in this Section
8 are for the sole benefit of Optionee and Optionee may waive the fulfillment of any one or
more of the conditions, or any part thereof, by giving written notice thereof to Optionor:
8.1 Approval. Optionee, through the City Council of Optionee, shall have
approved this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, within thirty
(30) days after the date hereof.
8.2 Physical Condition. On or before the end of the Term, Optionee shall have
determined that the soil conditions of the Property and other physical aspects of the Property
(including the presence or risk of the presence of any environmental contamination on or
about the Property) shall be satisfactory to Optionee in its sole good faith judgment as
evidenced by soil tests and other information obtained by Optionee at its expense.
8.3 Permitted Exceptions. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of the title
insurance commitment and survey, Optionee shall have determined that the Permitted
Exceptions will not interfere with or restrict the development of the Property.

and independent contractors shall have the right to enter the Property to inspect the same,

activities consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Optionee shall indemnify, defend
and hold Optionor harmless from all claims and damages asserted against Optionor arising
out of any such entry on the Property, except that Optionee shall not have any obligation in
respect of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Property.

so remade, shall survive the closing. The foregoing representations and warranties shall
apply and be effective, and shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Optionee,
notwithstanding any knowledge, determination, investigation or inquiry (or failure to
investigate or inquire) of Optionee or any of its agents.
11. Brokers. Each of the parties represents that such party has not incurred any
brokerage commission or finder's fee as a result of the transactions described herein and each
party agrees to hold the other harmless from any claim for such brokerage commission or
-7-

section shall survive termination of this Agreement and the closing.
12. Memorandum of Option. Neither party shall record this Agreement.
Concurrent herewith, Optionor and Optionee have executed a Memorandum of Option in the
form of Exhibit D in recordable form. Optionee may, at its expense, record the
Memorandum of Option.

by Optionor as agreed and final liquidated damages. If this Agreement is terminated by
Optionee for Optionor's default, the Earnest Money shall thereupon be returned to Optionee,
and
Optionee shall have the right to specifically enforce this Agreement, provided that an
action therefor is commenced within six (6) months after such right arises. In any action or
proceeding to enforce this Agreement or any provision hereof, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney fees.

herein provided, the Option shall automatically terminate without notice to Optionee and all
rights of Optionee arising out of this Agreement shall immediately cease. Optionee agrees to
execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Optionor within ten (10) days after written request, a

order to remove the cloud of the Option from the Property, but failure to give such deed or
other instrument shall not affect the automatic termination provided for above.

Surveyor’s Certificate
The undersigned has been furnished with [Commitment for Title Insurance]
[Preliminary Title Report No. ______________], by ___________________ Title Insurance
Company, with an Effective Date of _______________, 20___ ("Title Report"), issued for
certain real property located in the City of _______________, County of _______________,
State of _______________, more particularly described as follows (the "Property"):
[Add Legal Description Here]
The undersigned has made or caused to be made a physical inspection of the
Property by its representatives.
The undersigned has prepared or caused to be prepared under its supervision a
survey of the Property dated _______________________, and bearing Job No. ___________
(the "Survey").
The undersigned hereby certifies to __________________________________
and ________________ Title Insurance Company as follows:
The Survey, and the survey on which it is based, were made (a) in accordance
with the "Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys"
jointly established and adopted by the American Land Title Association and the American
Congress on Surveying and Mapping in 1992, and includes Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
and 13 of Table A thereof, and (b) pursuant to the Accuracy Standards (as adopted by
ALTA/ACSM and in effect on the date of this Certification) of an Urban Survey. Without
limiting the foregoing:
(1) The Survey correctly shows (i) the boundary lines of the Property,
which "close by engineering calculation" and (ii) the location of all easements,
encroachments, rights of way and uses disclosed by the Title Report and the physical
inspection of the Property made by the undersigned.
(2) The attached print of the Survey prepared by me was actually made
upon the ground.
(3) The Survey and the information, courses and distances shown thereon
are correct.
(4) The Survey correctly shows a fixed and determinable position and
location of the Property (including the position of the point of beginning if the
Property is described by metes and bounds).
4824-4969-1422.2
(5) If the Property consists of two or more parcels, each of such parcels is
fully contiguous along the common boundary line with adjoining parcels as depicted
on the Survey and there are no strips, gaps, gores or overlaps between or among such
