I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Adopt the attached resolutions designating official depositories, with the understanding that the HRA could not invest in any of the depositories beyond the level of insurance coverage of the pledged collateral. I II. BACKGROUND N/A I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I A. POLICY I · In accordance with Minnesota Statutes Section 118A.01 - 118A.06, the HRA of Richfield must designate financial institutions annually. The institutions must pledge the collateral over and above the amount of federal insurance, as public depositories. · U.S. Bank acts as the banking institution in the HRA's banking arrangement with the 4M Fund. Monies received, checks written, by the HRA, flow through U.S. Bank, however, at the end of each business day, any proceeds remaining in HRA U.S. Bank accounts are swept to the 4M Fund to be invested. Therefore, at the end of the business day the HRA accounts are zero, which means the collateral requirements of Minnesota Statutes Section 118A.03 are not required. Accordingly, U.S. Bank has met all other statutory requirements and should be considered as a depository for the HRA's vendor accounts and all savings deposits. . The HRA must also designate annually, certain savings and loan associations, banks, and credit unions as official depositories for deposit and investment of certain HRA funds. With approval of these official depositories, the HRA will be able to invest funds in these institutions, not exceeding the federal insurance of $100,000. . Finally, a designation must be made for certain financial institutions as depositories for the investment of HRA funds for 2008. These institutions, such as investment brokerage firms, offer government securities in the manner required by law. These financial institutions include U.S. Bank, Oain Rauscher, Wells Fargo Brokerage Services, Morgan Keegan, N.A. Investment Services, Inc. Piper Jaffray & Co., Northland Securities and the 4M Fund. I B. CRITICAL ISSUES . N/A I C. FINANCIAL . N/A I D. LEGAL I . The HRA is required by Minnesota Statute 118A.01 - 118A.06, to designate as a depository of funds, insured banks or thrift institutions. Any collateral so deposited is accompanied by an assignment pledged to the HRA in the amount specified in the attached resolutions. I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I . The HRA could solicit other financial institutions for official depositories, but past relationships with the depositories recommended have proven satisfactory for the City. I V. ATTACHMENTS I . Resolution designating US Bank a depository of funds of the HRA of Richfield for the year 2008. . Resolution designating certain savings and loan associations, banks, and credit unions as depositories for the investment of HRA funds in 2008. . Resolution designating certain financial institutions as depositories for the investment of HRA of Richfield funds in 2008. I VI. PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING . None 5-8-1 RESOLUTION NO.

Under Article IV Section 4.7 of the contract the HRA is obligated to provide the Certificate of Completion (COC) when requested by the Developer following completion of the project. 011408Kensington Park lB. CRITICAL ISSUES I . Construction of Kensington Place has been completed according to the approved Concept Plans. . Although the development has been completed for some time the impetus for the request for the COC from the Developer is the sale of the commercial space to The Sherlard Group (Sherlard). Sherlard is metropolitan area based and owns considerable retail office and residential property in this market area. The commercial space and the surface parking lot will be sold to Shelard. Continued access to the underground parking via the parking lot is provided by an easement between the Homeowner's Association and the commercial owner. That access easement is in perpetuity. Condo guest parking on the surface parking lot will also be continued. I C. FINANCIAL I . The issuance of the COC has no impact on the HRA. However, the sale will result in the satisfaction of a loan by the HRA to the Developer in the amount of $500,000. I D. LEGAL I . HRA legal counsel has worked with the Developer's legal council to bring this action before the HRA. I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I . The HRA is required by virtue of the terms of the contract to issue the COC when requested and the project is completed. I V. A TT ACHMENTS . Resolution . Certificate of Completion I VI.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Deny a subordination request for the Housing and Redevelopment Authority's Deferred Loan at 7433 Park Avenue. I II. BACKGROUND I On September 5, 2002 a Richfield Rehabilitation Deferred Loan in the amount of $25,000.00 was issued to Katheryn Graeve, Mary Ann Graeve and James Graeve. Katheryn Graeve held a contract for deed for the property at 7433 Park Avenue. Kathryn Graeve is requesting the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) subordinate at this time. Ms. Graeve is seeking a mortgage to payoff the Contract for Deed. Ms. Graeve also plans to apply a portion of the new mortgage to payoff credit card debt. 01'1408 Graeve Subordination Appeal I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I I A. POLICY I . The current HRA's Subordination Policy requires any equity being removed beyond the cost of the loan transaction to be used to improve the property. Ms. Graeve's subordination application does not meet this criteria because she plans to remove some equity to pay off credit card debt. . All other criteria for approval of the subordination are met. I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I . Administratively, Ms. Graeve's subordination request was denied. Ms. Graeve is appealing the decision and requesting the HRA make a special consideration. I C,. FINANCIAL I . Payment has been received for the subordination request. I D. LEGAL I . Staff has consulted with legal counsel on this matter. Legal counsel has suggested the HRA not make decisions based on uses proposed for the equity being removed. If the HRA's policy states that any equity being removed as part of the transaction must be used to improve the property, the HRA should deny Ms. Graeve's subordination request because it fails to meet the criteria. If the HRA would like to allow equity to be applied toward other uses, such as credit card debt, the HRA should amend the subordination policy to reflect this. I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I . Approve the request and direct staff to revise the subordination policy to allow the use of equity to payoff credit card debt. I V. ATTACHMENTS . N/A I VI. PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING .

STAFF REPORT RICHFIELD HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING JANUARY 14, 2007 REpORT PREPARED By: JOHN STARK, ASSISTANT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR NAME, TITLE REpORT PRESENTER: NAME, TITLE DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR REVIEw: REVIEWED BY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: ITEM FOR HRA CONSIDERATION: Consideration of development proposal by Sherman and Associates for a rental housing development at the former BridQeman's restaurant site. 1. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Direct staff to draft a Contract for Private Redevelopment with Sherman and Associates for the redevelopment of the former Bridgeman's restaurant site for consideration at an upcoming HRA meeting. I II. BACKGROUND I The development company Sherman and Associates (Sherman), has entered into a preliminary purchase agreement to purchase the property at 800 W. 66th Street (the former Bridgeman's restaurant site). This property is identified as a potential redevelopment site in the Lakes at Lyndale Master Plan. At this time, Sherman is contemplating a 48-unit residential rental development, which they have identified as "Reserve at Woodlake". As stated in their "development vision" (on page 15 of their proposal document), the proposed Reserve at Wood lake development would include 12 1-bedroom units, 232- bedroom units and 13 3-bedroom units. The proposal provides an explanation of 011408 Bridgemans their assessment that non-age restricted affordable rental housing would be the best use for this property. The most recent such development that was constructed in Richfield was the Oaks on Pleasant; otherwise, there has not been any non age- restricted multifamily rental housing built in Richfield in at least 25 years. Sherman and Associated has constructed and/or rehabilitated 37 rental developments with a grand total of over 4,400 units in the upper Midwest (most in the Twin Cities) during the past twenty years. They retain management responsibilities for the rental housing they construct and appear to have a very good track record for maintaining their properties. The preliminary purchase agreement for the property will terminate on January 14 (the day this item is being considered) unless Sherman chooses to remove contingencies or is able to negotiate an extension. The HRA's decision on this item, therefore, may dictate whether Sherman chooses to waive contingencies and move forward on the project. Sherman's preliminary financial assessment of the development, however, points to a need for financial assistance in order to make the project feasible. A portion of the assistance being sought is tax increment financing (TIF). Before extending their purchase agreement, Sherman must reach the conclusion that the HRA is willing, under the Terms of a Contract for Private Redevelopment, to provide TIF funding. The tax increment being sought by Sherman is identified on page 18 of the proposal as $491,175. It should be noted, however, that the developer is also seeking a number of grants. In the event that those grants are not awarded, or if development costs are greater than anticipated, the amount of increment needed may increase. Based on current assumptions, Ehlers and Associates' TIF projections estimate $535,800 of available tax increment. If the HRA is interested in helping Sherman and Associates pursue this development opportunity, the next steps would be to conduct an architectural assessment of the site to determine whether it meets the requirements set forth in redevelopment law (costs for which Sherman has already agreed to reimburse the HRA) and to instruct legal counsel to draft a Contract for Private Redevelopment for formal consideration at a future HRA meeting. I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I IA. POLICY I . The former Bridgeman's restaurant property is identified as a redevelopment site in the Lakes at Lyndale Master Plan. . Redevelopment of this site without TI F assistance may be unlikely due to extraordinary costs associated with demolition, site preparation, possible soil remediation and construction of structured parking. I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I . The developer's preliminary purchase agreement is set to terminate immediately unless Sherman removes certain contingencies or takes steps to extend it. Sherman is seeking HRA support before removing contingencies. I C. FINANCIAL I . The developer has identified a financial gap and is requesting that the HRA provide tax increment financing (TIF) to help fill that gap. . The developer has agreed to reimburse the HRA for costs associated with the completion of a TIF analysis by Ehlers and Associates and a property analysis by LHB Architects. Any further reimbursements would be identified in a Contract for Private Development. I D. LEGAL I . Legal counsel has been alerted to the possibility of a possible need to draft a Contract for Private Development should the HRA so direct. I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I . Seek further information regarding the proposal before directing staff to draft a Contract for Private Development. . Reject Sherman & Associates' request for HRA assistance in developing the property. I V. ATTACHMENTS I . Development proposal from Sherman & Associates. I VI. PRINCIPALPARTIESEXPECTEDATMEETING I .

We add value for our clients by pl"Oviding the highest quality design through a focused, disciplined pl'Ocess that delivers on these thre~~ goals. The members of our firm share a passion for designing buildings that will stand the test of time and a commitment to building lasting relationships. UrbanVVorks Architecture LLC was founded by II members of the Housing and Urban Design Studio of Cuningham Group Architecture, P.I\. in order to focus specifically on multifamily and mixed use project types and thereby better SUppOI't our clients. Thl'Ough a coopel'ative agreement with Cuningham Group and the approval of our clients, most of the projects in the studio were t.ransferred to UrbarNVorks. 0,11' staff has noyv grown t.o more than 20, and t.he finn maintains architectunl registrations in 14 states. Creativity a.nd Pr'ocess We understand well the challenges and constraint.s of designing and developing ever more complex multifamily and mixed llse buildings. Our approach is to partner with our dients and other participants in the development process to bring their expertise and perspective into the project development as early as possible. We don't shy away from the development realities such as public approvil,ls, market demand, or construction cost -- we embed them in our progl'am and process. We design for the market, for future residents, and for the communit.y, not for ourselves. The most important measure of our success is the success of ow' client.s. Project Types We have successful experience in a wide variety project t.ypes, including the following: . New construction lofts and condominiums, from urban lofts to traditiona.lluxury . For sale townhouses, urban a.nel suburban . Conversion of historic buildings into loft.s . Conversion of a rental building into condominiums . Mad<et rat.e and affordable rental housing . Student. housing . Active senior housing . Baby Boomer housing . Mixed-use projects that include housing with other uses such as retail, restaurants. office, community facilities. and churches . Master plans for a wide variety of communities including town centers, mixed-use projects, suburban redevelopments. and residential developments of varying levels of density from single family to high rise 13 PROJECT BACKGROUND AND VISION --~-_.....~--~----~~._,-_._----~-~--~,.._--~~,~~--~-~ Developer Sherman Associates, Inc. Architect Urban Works Architectln-e llC Location 800 West 66'" Street (formerly the "Bridgeman's Restaurant Site") Proposed Development The Resel've at Woodlake PI'oject Background Shennan i\ssociatc:s is proposing COnSl'l'llction of a 4..story 48 unit ap,lrtmem building with uildergl'Ound parking that will contain a complirnemary mix of one, two, and three bedroonl units, The apanmcms will have I'ems affordable to the local workforce, with incomes up to 60 pen:em AMI. The development will be situated on appl"Oximar.ely 1.2 acn:;s located at 800 VVest 66';' Stl'eet. Th(~ site previously hOllsed an Embers Restaurant. The building is currently vacant and in poor repair. Site and Surrounding land Uses The site's physical address is 800 West 66'1> Street. The surrounding land uses are as follows: () Northwest:: The United States Post Office is contiguous to our site Southwest: SuperArnerica is contiguous to our site. o East: Wood lake Point Condominiums o North: Richfield Lake (across 65th Street) o South: lake Shore Condominiums (across 66th Street) 14 Development Vision We are envisioning this development to be four stories with underground heated parking. Exterior building finishes will include brick. durable siding materials, vinyl, glass, and other high quality finishes. Interiol' finishes will also be high quality and consistent with what Shennan Associates has done on previous housing projects. The Reserve at Woodlake will consist of 12 one-bedroom, 23 two-bedroom units, and 13 three-bedroom units for a total of 48 units. A Community Room will b(~ provided for resident use. This room wi!! be available for residents to reserve to throw a private party, host a community meeting, ete. (",-ddleionally, a tot lot will be provided for resident use. The tot lot will be available for use to I-esidents of the project and will include standard child..safe playground equipment such as a slide, swings, and other appropriate pieces of equipment. The deveiopnwnt will also include individual storage lockel's available to residents on each flool- of the development. Bike storage will also be Pl'ovided to residents in the underground parking gMage. We are aware that the ability to supply adequate pad<ing is a concern to the City of Richfield. Vile intend to pl'Ovide one parking space pel' bedroom for a one-bedroom, and two parking spaces pCI' bedroom fOI' two.. and three..bedroom units. Therefore utilizing the CUITent unit mix: I BR:~ 12 units x I parking space::: 12 spaces 2 BR :: 23 units x 2 parking spaces::: 44 spaces 3 BR::: 13 units x 2 parking spaces::: 26 spaces Total: 48 units equaling 84 spaces for a parking ,'atio of 1.75 to 1.00 Lastly, Sherman Associates intends to incorporate "green" building design elements throughout the project where practical and financially viable. Why Affordable Housing? Shet'man Associates feels this would be an ideal site for workforce housing. The mains I'easons can be summarized as follows: o Current Housing Need: Although Richfield has I'ental housing stock there is a shortage of newly constructed, quality affordable rental housing. o Site Location: The site lends itself well to this type of housing due to the surrounding land uses which include a mix of retail, commercial, and multifamily properties, Most importantly. however, is its proximity to large private and public employers. Each sector employs many entry level employees who need an affordable place to live dose to where they work. o Current housing stock: The surrounding land uses include senior rental housing and high-end luxury condominiums. What this area is missing is new, affordable rental housing. This would be the last piece to the life-cycle housing puzzle. o Current Real Estate Market: The current state of the for-sale market makes the construction of condominiums not viable. Also, as mentioned above. we believe this area to already have reached its saturation point of senior rental housing. Lastly because this parcel is not located on a corner we feel this limited its attr'activeness as a retail or commercial site. 15 Our assessment of the cun'ent market and our experience and success with this type of housing product have led us to the conclusion that affordable housing is the highest and best use for this site. What is Affordable Housing? For many people hearing the term "affol'dable housing" immediately brings to mind the IRS Section 8 voucher program. The Reserve at Wood lake is not subsidized through Section 8. It instead utilizes tax credit financing under Section 42 of the IRS code. Many people know about Section 8. VVhat they may not know about is Section 42. Basically, Section 8 funds pay the landlord rent money. The renter applies for a vouchel'. The value of the voucher varies. The public housing authority pays the owner the diffel'ence between 30 percent of adjusted family income and a PHI.\, determined payment standard 01' the gross I'~~nt for the unit, whichever is lower. Section 42 administers the Low Income Housing Tax Credit, introduced in 1986. LlHTC is a tax credit pl'Ograrn developers use to construct or refurbish multifamily housing with the understanding that only l'e~idents who make 50 01' 60 percent of the local median income can n;~llt the units. "Although there is considerable variation among properties. tax-credit properties tend to be smal!, newly constructed, and managed by their owners. Most are situated in central cities. The proper-ties are intended to sel've families, elderly pel-sons, and disabled pel-sons," according to an online information source for housing and community development re~earcher~ and policymakers. The Reserve at Wood lake fits the above description in that it will be newly constructed, small (only 48 units), and managed by Sherman Associates through our management company which currently mana,ges the over 5,000 rental units held in our portfolio.

The preliminary per unit total development cost is $213.423 which shows that we are committed to building a quality project that will be durable and stand the test of time. 16 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT Sherman Associates' key management team has over seventy-five years of combined management experience. Sherman Associates has diversity of staffing as well as cliversity in the properties that we manage. We manage what we own which combines both commercial and residential propel'ties located throughout the Twin Cities' metropolitan area, Iowa, and VVisconsin. Sherman Associates is experienced in evaluating the manag(:)rnent needs of property whether it be a single-family home or the largest project in OUI' portfolio, Riverside Plaza at 1.303 apartment units. Each project in our portfolio has management requirements that are unique. Sherman Associates staffs each property accordingly. Due to OUI" experience in property management we can quickly adjust to meet the needs of any given property. A new property is first evaluated for its management needs. hom this evaluation a management plan is designed for the fil"sl: year and implemented. The individual management plan is evaluated quarterly to see if any adjustments are necessary. f.\t the end of the first year ;1 two"ye;ir management plan is determined. At the conclusion of that a three-year plan is implemented and updated every three years thereaft.er. The management division of Sherman Associates has a pl'Oven l'IxClnj of quaiity, fail' housing property m;magement. A measure of this success is the I-ecurring "Superio;" Rating" from dw U.S. Department of Housing and Urball Redevelopment. 17 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS PROJECTED USES: L;md Hard Costs Soft Cases Financing Costs Total Sow'ces of Funding: PROJECTED SOURCES: Fil-st Mortgage Syndication Pmceeds MHFA Def.

I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Direct staff to continue working with one or both developers on refining their development proposal for the Cedar Point Phase II area. I II. BACKGROUND I The Cedar Point phase II area is located between 63rd and 65th Streets and between 16th and 17th Avenues (directly west of the Cedar Point retail development). This area is in the low frequency noise impact area and has been identified by policymakers as a high priority for redevelopment. In spring 2007, staff circulated a "Request for Proposals" (RFP) for the Cedar Point Phase II area to the development community. After receiving no responses to that RFP, and on the advice of an architecture firm that has worked with the City and HRA on a number of occasions, staff sought the input of the development firm of Sherman and Associates (Sherman). 011408 Cedar Point II As stated in an HRA memorandum dated July 26, 2007, staff worked exclusively with Sherman for several months while they evaluated the feasibility of developing the site. Sherman's preliminary study indicates that a residential development on this site would result in a significant financial "gap". As stated in a November 19, 2007 HRA memorandum, another development firm, LaNel Financial Group (LaNel) has also indicated some interest in making a residential development proposal for the site. Both Sherman and LaNel have submitted their preliminary proposals (attached) for the HRA's consideration. Sherman & Associates proposal includes a conceptual site plan (page 7) showing 120 units of senior assisted living rental housing, 60 units of rental housing and 60 units of independent-living senior rental housing. Page 4 of the proposal provides a financial analysis of the proposal. This shows that Sherman's would purchase the 15 houses on the east side of 16th Avenue and expect that the City or HRA would be responsible for purchasing the 14 houses on the west side of 17th Avenue and selling those portions not used for Parkway to the developer. At the current time, neither the City nor HRA have identified funding sources for purchasing these homes. The Sherman proposal also assumes the use of $1.3 million in TIF; this number is consistent with the preliminary TIF analysis that has been done by Ehlers. . The LaNel proposal includes a conceptual site plan showing 130 units of independent-living senior rental housing, 60 units of senior assisted-living rental housing and 16 town homes. The LaNel proposal also includes photographs of other similar projects they have completed in recent years. In discussions with staff, representatives of LaNel have stated their intention to purchase all 29 homes in the area as part of the project. Based on earlier site plans that were submitted, Ehlers estimated the available tax increment in net present amounts of $2.6 million for the LaNel proposal. The revisions to the site plans may result in changes to the increment generation, as would any future change in the site plans or assumptions on which the calculations are based. Either developer would have to spend further time and money in efforts to continue to refine their development. An indication from the HRA as to whether it finds either proposal to be undesirable or less desirable than the other may help the developers determine if this further expenditure of time and money would be warranted. I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I I A. POLICY I . The Cedar Point Phase II area has been identified as an area in need of redevelopment due to the impacts of low-frequency noise associated with the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. . Both developments include senior housing components; neither the HRA nor City Council have made a formal policy statement about the need or desirability of additional senior housing in the community. I B. CRITICAL ISSUES I . The majority of property owners in the Cedar Point phase II area have stated a desire to relocate from that area as soon as possible. . Given current market conditions and recent experiences of staff, for development to proceed at this time, senior housing is likely a necessary component. I C. FINANCIAL I . Both developers have agreed to reimburse the HRA for the cost of having Ehlers and Associates complete a preliminary TIF analysis. . The developers have not indicated whether they would be willing to reimburse the HRA for future costs which may be incurred (legal, etc.) without a formal arrangement with the HRA (exclusive rights agreement or contract for private development).
