document amends the prior easement to incorporate the parking deck, which was not

description of the parking deck and access to and use of the parking deck.
2. First Amendment to Amended and Restated Declaration of Reciprocal Easements,
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions to be signed by: City of Edina, Edina HRA and
the City/County Condo Association. This document amends the prior document to
provide legal descriptions for the roadways and driveways as required by the previously
recorded document (they were not provided in the original document), corrects a gap in
the previously recorded legal description and adds a new easement for the monument
signage near the NW corner of the property.
3. Estoppel regarding Amended and Restated Declaration to be signed by the Edina HRA
and City of Edina. Both the Edina HRA and the City of Edina need to execute separate
Estoppel Certificates (as required by the Declaration). The Estoppel Certificates mainly
require affirmation of evidence of insurance among other things (i.e. no knowledge of
any default under the Declaration).
The Commissioners questioned the possible impact of road closures on the Library or Senior
Center with only 72 hours notice, ownership of the office building, and the Estoppel Certificate.
Staff answered the questions stating the office building had changed hands since being built, that
the road with the potential for closure was the perimeter roadway and not the main access to the
Senior Center or Library, and that the Estoppel Certificate was cleaning up descriptions.

Agreement to be signed by the City of Edina; First Amendment to Amended and Restated
Declaration of Reciprocal Easements, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions to be signed
