DETACHMENT AND ANNEXATION AGREEMENT
This agreement is between the City of St. Louis Park ("St.
Louis Park") and the City of Minnetonka ("Minnetonka"), both of
which are Minnesota municipal corporations with the power to
initiate a concurrent detachment and annexation of property
pursuant to Minn. Stat. §414.061.
Certain unimproved property located in St. Louis Park abuts
the Minnetonka border and has public access only from a public
street located in, and maintained by, Minnetonka. This property is
legally described as follows ("the property"):
All the part of the north 660 feet of the North Half of the
Southwest Quarter of Section 18, Township 117, Range 21, which
lies westerly of a line drawn parallel with and distant 70
feet west of the following described line:
Beginning at a point on the north line of the North Half of
said Southwest Quarter distant 356.32 feet east of the
northwest corner of said Southwest Quarter; thence run
southeasterly at an angle of 64 degrees 21 minutes 38 seconds
with said north line for a distance of 170.74 feet; thence
deflect right along a tangential curve having a radius of
954.93 feet (delta angle 23 degrees 11 minutes 37 seconds) for
a distance of 386.56 feet; thence tangent to said curve for a
distance of 150 feet and there terminating.
The property can also be easily served with Minnetonka sewer and
water located within this street, whereas connections to St. Louis
Park utilities would require significantly longer lengths of pipe.
Both cities agree that Minnetonka is in a better position to
provide public services to the property. Accordingly, both cities
agree that the property be detached from St. Louis Park and annexed
to Minnetonka, subject to the following conditions:
1. The city councils of each city shall adopt a joint
resolution requesting that the Minnesota Municipal Board order the
detachment of the property from St. Louis Park and annexation to
Minnetonka.
2. Minnetonka will be responsible for processing the matter
before the Municipal Board, including providing the necessary
documents and paying the required fees.
3. Within 30 days after it issues a certificate of occupancy
for any habitable structure on the property, Minnetonka will pay to
St. Louis Park a one-time lump -sum payment of $25,000 as
compensation for the loss of taxes that St. Louis Park would
otherwise have received from the property.

paragraph 3, St. Louis Park may bring an action at law or in equity
to enforce this requirement and shall be entitled to recover from

execution by a party.
