interests will be turned up to MnDOT. The parties anticipate there will be various right-of-way parcels not requested by MnDOT, that were acquired by Anoka County with state funds for the Project. Right of Way that is not needed by MnDOT or the County for the Project shall be conveyed at no cost to the City for future non -roadway use, green space, development or sale. All dispositions of surplus land or right of way not required for the Project, are subject to restrictive covenants to secure the land for later reimbursement of state highway funds, as addressed in the Declaration provision below. The County will record the Declaration on the surplus land/parcels prior to the conveyance to the City. As for the lands the State does not require be turned up after the Project, and to ensure state reimbursement for the purchase of those lands, the County and City agree to establish certain restrictions of record with respect to the future sale and use of the properties not needed for infrastructure and construction of the Project. Those restrictions shall run with and encumber the land as more fully set forth in the Declaration designated by the State to be used for this Project. The parties are aware that after the Project is complete, some of the surplus land and right of way not needed for the Project shall be conveyed by the County to the City of Ramsey, to be made available for future use or development by the City. Such transfers between County and City are specifically permitted by the State and are not considered to trigger the sale/use restrictions in the Declaration. However, any subsequent sale, transfer or conveyance of the properties by the City shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in the Declaration. The County and City shall cooperate in consenting and signing the necessary Declarations and recording same on the required properties. The County and City further agree to comply with all terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in the Declarations required by the state, which result from the use of state funding for the acquisition of right of way necessary for the Project.
