AMENDMENT TO EASEMENT AGREEMENT FOR HAWTHORN SUITES AUTHORIZED Executive Director Hughes reported in 1989 the HRA and Hawthorn Suites Edina Limited Partnership entered into various agreements to facilitate the construction of the Hawthorn Suites Hotel at Edinborough. Among the agreements entered into was an Easement Agreement governing the interface between the hotel and Edinborough Park. At this time, Hawthorn Suites is in the process of selling its interest in the hotel to the Shaner Hotel Group. As a part of the proposed transaction, Hawthorn discovered the Easement Agreement does not speak to the existence of stormwater lines and sanitary sewer facilities which serve the hotel but which traverse the park property. Director Hughes continued that Hawthorn Suites is requesting the HRA enter into a proposed Second Amendment to the Easement Agreement in order to clarify the right of the hotel to maintain such utilities on park property. In the opinion of staff, the proposed amendment corrects an oversite with respect to the • original agreement and, therefore, would recommend approval of the amendment. Motion of Commissioner Maetzold authorizing the Chairman and Secretary of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority to execute the Second Amendment to the Easement Agreement for Hawthorn Suites. Commissioner Faust seconded the motion. Ayes: Faust, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Motion carried.
