HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY HRA Letter No. 32 Agenda May 22, 1995 Issue Statement: Public hearing and consideration of sale of 6318 Nicollet Avenue (continued from May 15, 1995). Background: The rehabilitation project at 6318 Nicollet Avenue was completed in early 1993. On April 19, 1993 the HRA authorized the property to be leased to a 77th Street relocatee. The individual has moved to a permanent location and the property has been prepared for sale. A two member, income qualified family has been selected as purchaser for the two bedroom home. They meet all the requirements stated in Attachment A. HRA authorization to sell the property is required prior to final processing. The home is being sold for $80,000. The purchasers are making a down payment of $4,000. They have applied for a mortgage in the amount of $76,000. Project cost are covered by the down payment and first mortgage. No second mortgage will be made, since the initial purchase price is already affordable. The HRA will pay up to two and a half points for mortgage discounting and the cost of title insurance (approximately $200) at closing. If at any time during final processing the family is found ineligible by the lender, the purchase agreement is void and earnest money released. At this time, however, the lender has qualified the purchaser through the preliminary processing. Recommended Motion: It is recommended that following the public hearing, the HRA adopt the attached resolution which authorizes the disposition of the HRA owned property at 6318 Nicollet Avenue. Basis of Recommendation: 1. A qualified family has been identified as a purchaser and meets program requirements. 2. A purchase agreement cannot be processed further by the lender without HRA authorization of sale. 3. A public hearing notice has been published in the Sun - Current which allows the HRA to consider the sale at the May meeting. 4. It has been determined that the sale for residential purposes in consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Alternative Recommendation: Do not adopt the resolution. However, this would cause a delay in the sale of property and would increase HRA holding costs. Discussion /Decision Mode: Authorization of the sale is required at the May 22 meeting so that the buyers can finalize mortgage financing for a prompt closing.

DATED: THE HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY IN AND FOR THE CITY OF RICHFIELD Lo STATE OF MINNESOTA ss COUNTY OF HENNEPIN Its Chairperson Its Executive Director The foregoing instrument was acknowledged before me this day of 2199 , by and the Chairperson and Executive Director of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Richfield, a public body corporate and politic under the laws of the State of Minnesota on behalf of the public body corporate and politic. This instrument was drafted by: Holmes & Graven, Chartered 470 Pillsbury Center Minneapolis, MN 55402 Notary Public 19 HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY HRA Letter No. 34 Agenda May 22, 1995 Issue Statement: Proposed approval of Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program, dated May 15, 1995: • approval of Modification No. 4 to the Redevelopment Plans for Redevelopment Project Areas "A" and "B "; • modification No. 1 to the Tax Increment Financing Plans for Tax Increment Redevelopment Districts "A -3" and "B -3 "; and • Tax Increment Financing Plans for Tax Increment Redevelopment Districts "A -4" and "B -4 ". Background: During late winter and spring 1995, staff undertook the following: • Contacted approximately 165 property owners that have residential property valued, at less than $58,000 by the assessor to determine their interest in selling. • Inspected at the owners request 36 sites to determine program eligibility. • Initiated more detailed inspections and appraisals of approximately 15 properties in preparation for possible purchase. The proposed 1995 -96 Richfield Rediscovered Program would accomplish the following: • Purchase and demolish 12 to 15 substandard homes. • Provide 12 to 15 new homes valued in a range of $110, 000 to $160,000. • Generate land proceeds which returns approximately one -half of the HRA's appropriation after the initial year. Land proceeds and subsequent tax increment related to the 1995 -96 program would support HRA remodeling and transformation activities. • Provide a new construction relocation resource for New Ford Town and Rich Acres residents. To date, four new homes have been purchased by New Ford Town and Rich Acres residents. Currently three additional families are exploring new construction. The Redevelopment Plans and Tax Increment Financing Plans under the proposed modification are attached for review. The text of the modifications for the 1995 -96 Program, known as Cycle 4, are essentially the same as past modifications. The reason modifications must be made is to alter the list of properties which may be purchased. Some property previously identified is deleted because it is no longer available; other property newly identified is added. Pages A -1 through A -3 and B -1 through B -2 is a composite list of all property from which those to be purchased would be taken. As the financial resources available from the HRA are limited, approximately 12 to 15 properties may be purchased. Therefore, the balance of properties remain as qualifying candidates for acquisition when additional funding becomes available. Most of east Richfield is encompassed in Redevelopment Project Area "A ". Most of west Richfield is encompassed in Redevelopment Project Area "B ". For easy readability, the page numbering of each section is prefixed by the type of modification. For example, the modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "A" is page numbered A -1, A -2, etc. while the page numbering for modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment District A -4 is paged numbered A- 4-1, A -4 -2, etc. The "Note to Reader" at the beginning of the plans provides additional information with regard to plan structure. To implement the program, the attached resolution must be adopted by the HRA. That resolution: 1. approves the Redevelopment Plans; 2. the Tax Increment Financing Plans; and 3. refers these documents to the Planning Commission and City Council for their consideration. If the HRA approves the modification, the Planning Commission on May 23, 1995 would be requested to consider resolutions which find the redevelopment plans and tax increment financing plans as well as the proposed acquisition and disposition of property by the HRA to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan for the City. In as much as these plan documents are very similar to those of previous program cycles, a favorable response may be forthcoming. Following a public hearing to be scheduled for July 10, 1995, the City Council would consider approving the redevelopment plans and tax increment finance plans. Recommended Motion: Adopt the attached resolution which: A. Approves Modification No. 4 to the Redevelopment Plans for Redevelopment Project Areas "A and "B "; Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plans for Tax Increment Redevelopment Districts "A -3" and "B -3 "; Tax Increment Financing Plans for Tax Increment Redevelopment Districts "A -4" and "13-4 "; and by reference also approves a modification to the Richfield Redevelopment Project Plan and Tax Increment Plan all subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission. B. Requests the Planning Commission to review the redevelopment plans and tax increment financing plans and find the plans and property acquisition and disposition to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. C. Requests the City Council to: 1. Hold a public hearing on July 10, 1995 at which time the modified redevelopment plans, modified tax increment plans, and new tax increment plans will be considered; and 2. Approve the plans by adopting a resolution to be provided. Basis of Recommendation: 1. To be successful, the momentum of Richfield Rediscovered must be continued. 2. Richfield Rediscovered is a proven redevelopment program. 3. The Planning Commission is required to review the 1995 plans and make a finding as to whether proposed acquisition and disposition of the properties identified would be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. 4. There is a market of property owners who wish to voluntarily sell their substandard and /or obsolete homes. 5. There is a builder and buyer market for new, larger, contemporary housing. 6. Funding sources are available to continue the program. 7. Existing staff resources are available to administer the program. 8. Legal counsel has reviewed the program and related documents and found them to be in compliance with existing law Alternative Recommendation: 1. Modify the proposed program. 2. Delay action until a future time. 3. Terminate any additional activity on the proposal. Discussion /Decision Mode: This modification is in part being processed to provide new construction opportunities for New Ford Town and Rich Acres residents and also to make it possible for other interested buyers to initiate construction during 1995. At a forthcoming meeting the HRA will be requested to approve the purchase of specific property. Respect ubmitted, James sser Executiv ire JDP:cak RESOLUTION NO.

Statutory Authority The statutory authority for the undertaking of a tax increment financing district (TIF District "A4") and related Tax Increment Financing Plan (Tax Increment Plan) in Redevelopment Project Area "A" (Project Area "A ") for the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program (Housing Program) and the activities proposed in the tax increment plan relating thereto is conferred upon the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Richfield, Minnesota (BRA), pursuant to and in accordance with the Tax Increment Financing Act, Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174 to 469.179, inclusive, as amended. B. Statement of Objectives The HRA and the City continue to seek and affirm the goals and objectives set forth in Part I of the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "A ", dated July 16, 1990 as well as additional program objectives set forth in BRA Letter No. 13, dated April 20, 1992. C. Development Program 1. Description of Development Activities As with previous cycles of the housing program and so with Cycle IV, a comprehensive, integrated approach for acquisition, site clearance, and new construction will continue to be provided through program guidelines. The HRA will assist prospective developers, builders, and buyers with development, redevelopment, new construction, and other related activities within the context of the modified Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "A ", this Tax Increment Plan, and other related guidelines. 2. Development Activities Covered by Contract At this writing, early negotiations for property acquisition is proceeding between HRA staff and owners for one property. Early acquisition has already occurred on one property. Any and all development contracts which may arise in the interim processing period of these plans, both modified and new, will be contingent upon HRA Board and City Council approval. A-4 -1 3. Other Develonment Not Under Contract Reasonably Expected to Occur in the Proiect. Proposals from prospective developers, builders, and buyers will be required to be submitted to the HRA as part of the review process. The following activities may be expected to occur: 1. Property Acquisition; 2. On -site clearance; 3. On -site improvements; 4. New construction; 5. Remedial site environmental activities; and 6. Adjacent public improvements and utilities which service site. For Cycle IV of the Housing Program, a total of 71 properties have been identified for program participation and acquisition. Forty six (46) of the properties are located within Redevelopment Project Area "A" while the remaining 25 are within Redevelopment Project Area "B ". (Refer to Appendix A for map of Redevelopment Project Areas and tax increment parcels.) Redevelopment Project Areas A and B each contain one property with a double lot. Property subdivisions will be required for these lots in order to construct two homes on each site. Initial construction for Cycle IV is anticipated to begin in the summer of Construction for each home is anticipated to be approximately 120 days. Timing of construction is contingent upon favorable market conditions, reasonable time period for processing applications and availability of funding revenue. D. Description of Property in the Tax Increment Financing District Property located within TIF District "A4" is identified in Appendix B. E. Classification of the Tax Increment Financing District The Richfield HRA and City Council, in determining the need for a tax increment financing district in accordance with Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174 to 469.179, inclusive, as amended, find that Tax Increment District "A -4" to be established within Project Area "A" is a redevelopment tax increment financing district as defined in Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10. Since the tax increment parcels within the scattered site program are non - contiguous, each parcel has been examined by staff against the statutory definitions of structurally substandard and other blight definitions. Each structure has qualified under Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10. Thus, the tax increment financing district meets the requirements of a redevelopment tax increment financing district. A-4 -2 A detailed account of property examination for eligibility are enumerated within a document entitled "Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program: Blight Qualification Survey - Cycle N" which will be on file at City Hall, Community Development Department, Housing and Redevelopment Division, for the duration of the tax increment district's life.

The tax increment district budget includes acquisition costs for land sale subsidy which will be offered to eligible developers, builders, and buyers as development incentives. G. Estimate of Costs The estimate of public costs associated with the tax increment district are outlined in the budget listed in Appendix D. H. Estimated Amount of Obligated Funds At the current time, $750,000 of program revenue is anticipated to be alloted to Cycle IV in order to continue with the housing program. An estimate of the amount of bonded indebtedness for redevelopment is expected to be $0. The term of the issues is 0 years including 0 years of capitalized interest with an anticipated taxable interest rate of 0 %. The amount of capitalized interest is estimated to be $0. L Sources of Revenue The primary source of revenue to be used to finance public costs associated with proposed developments in the redevelopment project area is an allocation from the development account. A-4-4 In addition to this allocation, other sources of revenue potentially available to the HRA and City may be utilized. J. Original Tax Capacity Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 1 and Sec. 469.177, subd. 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity (OTC) for TIF District "A4" is based on the January 2, 1994 assessed value placed on the property by the county assessor. The OTC for the district is $29,550. (See Appendix B, Property Located in Tax Increment Financing District "A4".) Each year the office of the county auditor will measure the amount of increase or decrease in the total net tax capacity of the tax increment district to calculate the tax increment payable to the redevelopment district fund. In any year in which there is an increase in total net tax capacity in the tax increment district above the original net tax capacity, a tax increment will be payable. In any year in which the total net tax capacity in the tax increment district declines below the original net tax capacity, no tax capacity will be captured and no tax increment will be payable. The county auditor shall certify in each year after the date the original net tax capacity was certified, the amount the OTC has increase or decreased as a result of: 1. Change in tax exempt status of property; 2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district; or 3. Change due to stipulations, adjustments, negotiated or court- ordered abatements. K. Estimated Captured Tax Capacity Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, Subd. 1 and Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 2, the estimated captured net tax capacity (CTC) of Tax Increment District "A4" is within a range of $429 to $1,694 per home. The total CTC for the full build -out of 46 potential new homes to be located within Redevelopment Project Area "A" ranges from $19,734 to $77,924. As a result of the improvements to be constructed, it is expected that the estimated captured net tax capacity will be available for the housing program. It is also anticipated that this amount will be captured not more than 25 years. (See Appendix C, Estimate of Tax Increments.) L. Duration of the District Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sect. 469.176, subd. 1, the maximum duration of a redevelopment tax increment district is 25 years. The HRA elects to capture 100% of the tax increments for the duration of the district. M. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions Refer to Appendix E, Estimate of Impacts on Other Taxing Jurisdictions. A-4 -5 N. Modifications of the Tax Increment Financing District All tax increment plan modifications will be processed in accordance with Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 4. The modifications pertaining to the necessary processing include any reduction or enlargement of the geographic area of the project or tax increment financing district; increase in amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred, including a determination of capitalized interest on debt if that determination was not a part of the original plan, or to increase or decrease the amount of interest on the debt to be capitalized; increase in the portion of the captured tax capacity to be retained by the HRA; increase in total estimated tax increment expenditures or designation of additional property to be acquired by the HRA shall be approved upon the notice and after the discussion, public hearing and findings required for approval of the original plan. The geographic area of a tax increment district may be reduced, but shall not be enlarged after five years following the date of certification of the original tax capacity by the County Auditor. O. Limitation on Administrative Expenses In accordance with Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 14, and Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 3, for districts for which certification was requested after June 30, 1982, no tax increment shall be used to pay any administrative expenses for a project which exceed ten percent of the total tax increment expenditures authorized by the tax increment financing plan or the total tax increment expenditures for the project, whichever is less. P. Limitation on Duration of Tax Increment Financing Districts Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 1, the HRA must issue bonds, or acquire property, or construct or cause public improvements to be constructed within three years of the date of certification of the tax increment district my the county auditor. Q. Limitation on Qualification of Property in Tax Increment District Not Subject to Improvement Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subdivision 6, "it after four years from the date of certification of the original net tax capacity of the tax increment financing district..., no demolition, rehabilitation or renovation of property or other site preparation, including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to a parcel but not installation of utility service including sewer or water systems, has been commenced on a parcel located within a tax increment financing district by the BRA or by the owner of the parcel in accordance with the tax increment financing plan, no additional tax increment may be taken from that parcel, and the original net tax capacity of the tax increment financing district. If the BRA or the owner of the parcel subsequently commences demolition, rehabilitation or renovation or other site preparation on that parcel : including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to that parcel, in accordance with the tax increment financing plan, the BRA shall certify to the county auditor that the activity has commenced, and the county auditor shall certify the net tax capacity thereof most recently A-4 -6 certified by the commissioner of revenue and add it to the original net tax capacity of the tax increment financing district." R Limitation of the Use of Tax Increment All revenues derived from tax increment shall be used in accordance with the tax increment financing plan. The revenues shall be used to finance or otherwise pay public redevelopment costs pursuant to Minn. Stat., 469.001 to 469.047, inclusive, as amended. These revenues shall not be used to circumvent existing levy limit law. No revenues derived from tax increment shall be used for the construction or renovation of a municipally owned building used primarily and regularly for conducting the business of the municipality. This provision shall not prohibit the use of revenues derived from tax increments for the construction or renovation of a parking structure, a commons area used as a public park or a facility used for social, recreational or conference purposes and not primarily for conducting the business of the municipality. Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 4j, at least 90 percent of the revenues derived from tax increments from a redevelopment district must be used to finance the cost of correcting conditions that allow designation of.a redevelopment district under section 469.174. These costs include acquiring properties containing structurally substandard buildings or improvements, acquiring adjacent parcels necessary to provide a site of sufficient size to permit development, demolition of structures, clearing of the land, and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks, and parking facilities for the site. The allocated administrative expenses of the authority may be included in the qualifying costs. S. Notification of Prior Planned Improvements Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 4, the HRA will review and search property files for properties to be included in the tax increment district and to identify those properties for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately proceeding approval of the tax increment financing plan by the City. T. Excess Tax Increments Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 2, in any year in which the tax increment exceeds the amount necessary to pay the costs authorized by the tax increment plan, including the amount necessary to cancel any tax levy as provided in Mum. Stat., Sec. 475.61, subd. 3, the HRA shall use the excess amount to: 1. Prepay the outstanding bonds; 2. Discharge the pledge of tax increment therefor, 3. Pay into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of such bond; 4. Repay any loans including interest on these loans; or 5. Return the excess to the county auditor for redistribution to the respective taxing jurisdictions in proportion to their tax capacity rates. A-4 -7 The amounts distributed to a city or county must be deducted from the levy limits of the governmental unit for the following year. In calculating the levy limit base for later years, the amount deducted must be treated as a local government aid payment. For the purpose of this tax increment financing plan, excess tax increment means that increment received in any year which is in addition to the amount needed to satisfy the IRA's current financial obligations or commitments, as specified in the tax increment financing budget listed in Appendix D, or which is in addition to that which is placed in a separate account for the purpose of accumulating funds needed to satisfy those financial obligations or commitments in the future. U. Restrictions on Pooling; Five -Year Limit given: district: In accordance with Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.1763, the following terms have the meanings "Activities" means acquisition of property, clearing of land, site preparation, soils correction, removal of hazardous waste or pollution, installation of utilities, construction of public or private improvements, and other similar activities, but only to the extent that tax increment revenues may be spent for such purposes under other law. Activities do not include allocated administrative expenses, but do include engineering, architectural, and similar costs of the improvements in the district. "Third Party" means an entity other than (1) the person receiving the benefit of assistance financed with tax increments, or (2) the municipality or the development authority or other person substantially under the control of the municipality. Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.1763, subd. 2 with respect to expenditures outside the (a) For each tax increment financing district, an amount equal to at least 75 percent of the revenue derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district must be expended on activities in the district or to pay bonds, to the extent that the proceeds of the bonds were used to finance activities in the district or to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds. Not more than 25 percent of the revenue derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district may be expended, through a development fund or otherwise, on activities outside of the district but within the defined geographic area of the project except to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds. The revenue derived from tax increments for the district that are expended on costs under section 469.176, subdivision 4h, paragraph (b), may be deducted first before calculating the percentages that must be expended within and without the district. A-4 -8 Pursuant to Mm. Stat., Sec. 469.173, subd. 3 with respect to the five -year rule: (a) Revenues derived from tax increments are considered to have been expended on an activity within the district under subdivision 2 only if one of the following occurs: (1) before or within five years after certification of the district, the revenues are actually paid to a third party with respect to the activity; (2) bonds, the proceeds of which must be used to finance the activity, are issued and sold to a third party before or within five years after certification and the revenues are spent to repay the bonds; (3) binding contracts with a third party are entered into for performance of the activity before or within five years after certification of the district and the revenues are spent under the contractual obligation; or (4) costs with respect to the activity are paid before or within five years after certification of the district and the revenues are spent to reimburse a party for payment of the costs. (b) For purposes of this subdivision, bonds include subsequent refunding bonds if one of two tests is met: (1) the proceeds of the original refunded bonds were spent on activities within five years after the district was certified or (2) the original refunded bonds are issued within five years after the district was certified and the proceeds are expended on activities within a reasonable temporary period within the meaning of the use of that term under section 148(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.173, subd. 4 with respect to use of revenues for decertification: Beginning with the sixth year following certification of the district, 75 percent of the revenues derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district that remain after the expenditures permitted under subdivision 3 must be used only to pay outstanding bonds, as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause (2), and paragraph (b) or contracts, as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clauses (3) and (4). When the outstanding bonds have been defeased and when sufficient money has been set aside to pay contractual obligations as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clauses (3) and (4), the district must be decertified and the pledge of tax increment discharged. V. Assessment Agreements Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 8, the BRA may enter into an agreement in recordable form with a developer or redeveloper of property within the tax increment district which establishes a minimum market value of the tax increment district. The assessment A-4 -9 agreement shall be presented to the county assessor who shall review the plans and specifications for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land upon which the improvements are to be constructed and so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears in the judgment of the assessor, to be a reasonable estimate, the assessor may certify the minimum market value agreement. W. Administration of the Tax Increment District and Maintenance of the Tax Increment Account Administration of the tax increment district will be the responsibility of the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority. The tax increment received as a result of increases in the net tax capacity of the tax increment district will be maintained in a special account separate from all other HRA and municipal accounts and expended only upon sanctioned activities identified in the tax increment financing plan. X. Annual Disclosure Requirements Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 6a, on or before March 1 of each year, the BRA must annually report to the commissioner of revenue the following: 1. Total principal amount of nondefeased tax increment financing bonds that are outstanding at the end of the previous calendar year, and 2. Total annual amount of principal and interest payments that are due for the current calendar year on (i) general obligation tax increment financing bonds, and (ii) other tax increment financing bonds. Also in accordance with this requirement the HRA must annually report to the commissioner of revenue the following amounts for the tax increment financing district: 1. Type of district; 2. Date on which the district is required to be decertified; 3. Captured net tax capacity of the district, by property class as specified by the commissioner of revenue, for taxes payable in the current calendar year, 4. Tax increment revenues for taxes payable in the current calendar year, 5. Whether the tax increment financing plan or other governing document permits increment revenues to be expended (i) to pay bonds, the proceeds of which were or may be expended on activities located outside of the district, (ii) for deposit into a common fund from which money maybe expended on activities located outside of the A-4 -10 district, or (iii) to otherwise finance activities located outside of the tax increment financing district; and 6. Any additional information that the commissioner of revenue may require. Y. Assumptions It was necessary to make certain assumptions regarding income, costs and timing of the tax increment; financing district. These assumptions are based on discussions with the HRA, City, and County staff, and consultants. Z. Municipal Findings Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 3, before or at the time of approval of the tax increment financing plan, the municipality shall make the following findings and shall set forth in writing the reasons and supporting facts for each determination: The Tax Increment Financing District is a redevelopment district pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10. It has been determined that parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or other improvements and more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. Specifically, staff has examined each parcel against the statutory definitions of structurally substandard and other blight definitions due to the non - contiguous nature of the tax increment parcels. Each structure has qualified under Mmn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10. Thus, the tax increment financing district meets the requirements of a redevelopment tax increment financing district. A detailed account of property examination for eligibility are enumerated within a document entitled Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program: Blight Qualification Survey - Cycle IV" which will be on file at City Hall, Community Development Department, Housing and Redevelopment Division, for the duration of the tax increment district's life. 2. The proposed activities listed in this plan, in the opinion of the HRA, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future. Therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary since the proposed development requires certain necessary planning, property assembly and other improvements without which interested developers, builders, or buyers could not construct the aforementioned improvements; and without the use of tax increments or other revenues authorized by this plan to assist with the financing of the activities, interested developers, builders, or buyers would not proceed with redevelopment in the redevelopment project area. 3. The tax increment financing plan conforms to the general plan for the development of the City as a whole as it will result in the continuation of the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program for the development, redevelopment, new construction and other A-4 -11 related improvements of residential homes for which there is limited sources of revenue available. 4. The tax increment financing plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development by private enterprise as it will enable the HRA to provide the necessary redevelopment for the project area and City, as a whole, in a planning manner suitable to both the public and private sectors.

Note that program revenue allocation of $750,000 allows for the acquisition of 13 properties on average. Appendix A-4 -6 APPENDIX E ESTIMATE OF IMPACTS ON OTHER TAXING JURISDICTIONS TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT "A -4" The purpose of analyzing impacts on taxing jurisdictions is to (a.) determine how tax increment assistance provided to a proposed redevelopment project impacts taxing jurisdictions; (b.) determine the level of impact as it relates to tax base; and (c.) determine the amount of taxes a taxing entity would need to levy in order to increase their respective tax base by the amount the project brings in absent the project. If the 'But For" test were not met, construction would not occur. That is, without the creation and existence of the tax increment district, construction would not occur because the cost of developing the proposed project by a private developer would be prohibitive. Acceptable rates of return on project investment could not be met and risk would be too high. Development would not move forward. Construction would not occur without the assistance of the city. In light of this, the impact to taxing jurisdictions would be $0. Foregone would be the benefits of a new construction project, increased overall tax base, and other project objectives. The estimated impact of Tax Increment District "A-4" would be as follows if the project were built without tax increment financing: IMPACT ON TAX BASE The following table displays captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax rates and tax capacities are the payable 1995 figures for all jurisdictions. The potential taxes column is the estimate of the amount of taxes each jurisdiction would theoretically have to raise if the goal of taxing entities was to raise tax base equal to that of the project without constructing the project.

Acquisition In furthereance of the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program, HRA staff maintained standards set forth in prevous years to identify property for acquisition. In its sequential numbering system, this is Cycle IV in the housing program. As in the past, residential property owners were contacted and surveyed to determine (a.) whether or not they continued to express an interest in selling their property on a voluntary basis and (b.) if interested, within which time frame. Additional means of obtaining candidate properties were made by (a.) property owners contacting the HRA requesting that their property be considered for the program and (b) referrals by the city's health and inspections department. Candidate properties were further evaluated for program eligibility and inspected.

Statutory Authority The statutory authority for the undertaking of a tax increment financing district (TIF District 'B-4 ") and related Tax Increment Financing Plan (Tax Increment Plan) in Redevelopment Project Area `B" (Project Area 'B ") for the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program (Housing Program) and the activities proposed in the tax increment plan relating thereto is conferred upon the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Richfield, Minnesota (HRA), pursuant to and in accordance with the Tax Increment Financing Act, Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174 to 469.179, inclusive, as amended. B. Statement of Objectives The HRA and the City continue to seek and affirm the goals and objectives set forth in Part I of the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area 'B ", dated July 16, 1990 as well as additional program objectives set forth in HRA Letter No. 13, dated April 20, 1992. C. Development Program 1. Description of Development Activities As with previous cycles of the housing program and so with Cycle IV, a comprehensive, integrated approach for acquisition, site clearance, and new construction will continue to be provided through program guidelines. The BRA will assist prospective developers, builders, and buyers with development, redevelopment, new construction, and other related activities within the context of the modified Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "B ", this Tax Increment Plan, and other related guidelines. 2. Development Activities Covered by Contract At this writing, there are no early negotiations for property acquisitions proceeding between BRA staff and owners for one property. Early acquisitions have already occurred on two properties. Any and all development contracts which may arise in the interim processing period of these plans, both modified and new, will be contingent upon BRA Board and City Council approval. B-4 -1 3. Other Development Not Under Contract Reasonably Expected to Occur in the Proiect. Proposals from prospective developers, builders, and buyers will be required to be submitted to the BRA as part of the review process. The following activities may be expected to occur: 1. Property Acquisition; 2. On -site clearance; 3. On -site improvements; 4. New construction; 5. Remedial site environmental activities; and 6. Adjacent public improvements and utilities which service site. For Cycle IV of the Housing Program, a total of 73 properties have been identified for program participation and acquisition. Forty six (46) of the properties are located within Redevelopment Project Area "A" while the remaining 25 are within Redevelopment Project Area "B ". (Refer to Appendix A for map of Redevelopment Project Areas and tax increment parcels.) Redevelopment Project Areas A and B each contain one property with a double lot. Property subdivisions will be required for these lots in order to construct two homes on each site. Initial construction for Cycle IV is anticipated to begin in the summer of Construction for each home is anticipated to be approximately 120 days. Timing of construction is contingent upon favorable market conditions, reasonable time period for processing applications and availability of funding revenue. D. Description of Property in the Tax Increment Financing District Property located within TIF District "B4" is identified in Appendix B. E. Classification of the Tax Increment Financing District The Richfield HRA and City Council, in determining the need for a tax increment financing district in accordance with Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174 to 469.179, inclusive, as amended, find that Tax Increment District 'B4" to be established within Project Area "B" is a redevelopment tax increment financing district as defined in Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10. Since the tax increment parcels within the scattered site program are non - contiguous, each parcel has been examined by staff against the statutory definitions of structurally substandard and other blight definitions. Each structure has qualified under Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10. Thus, the tax increment financing district meets the requirements of a redevelopment tax increment financing district. B-4 -2 A detailed account of property examination for eligibility are enumerated within a document entitled "Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program: Blight Qualification Survey - Cycle IV" which will be on file at City Hall, Community Development Department, Housing and Redevelopment Division, for the duration of the tax increment district's life.

The tax increment district budget includes acquisition costs for land sale subsidy which will be offered to eligible developers, builders, and buyers as development incentives. B-4 -3 G. Estimate of Costs The estimate of public costs associated with the tax increment district are outlined in the budget listed in Appendix D. H. Estimated Amount of Obligated Funds At the current time, $750,000 of program revenue is anticipated to be alloted to Cycle IV in order to continue with the housing prpS siness for redevelopment is expected to be An estimate of the amount of bonded indrkf $0. The term of the issues is 0 years including 0 years of capitalized interest with an anticipated taxable interest rate of 0 %. The amount of capitalized interest is estimated to be $0. L Sources of Revenue The primary source of revenue to be used to finance public costs associated with proposed developments in the redevelopment project area is an allocation from the development account. In addition to this allocation, other sources of revenue potentially available to the HRA and City may be utilized. J. Original Tag Capacity Pursuant to Mnn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 1 and Sec. 469.177, subd. 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity (OTC) for TIF District 'B-4" is based on the January 2, 1994 assessed value placed on the property by the county assessor. The OTC for the district is $17,126. (See Appendix B, Property Located in Tax Increment Financing District "134".) Each year the office of the county auditor will measure the amount of increase or decrease in the total net tax capacity of the tax increment district to calculate the tax increment payable to the redevelopment district fund. In any year in which there is an increase in total net tax capacity in the tax increment district above the original net tax capacity, a tax increment will be payable. In any year in which the total net tax capacity in the tax increment district declines below the original net tax capacity, no tax capacity will be captured and no tax increment will be payable. The county auditor shall certify in each year after the date the original net tax capacity was certified, the amount the OTC has increase or decreased as a result of 1. Change in tax exempt status of property; 2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district; or 3. Change due to stipulations, adjustments, negotiated or court- ordered abatements. K Estimated Captured Tax Capacity Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, Subd. 1 and Nfinn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 2, the estimated captured net tax capacity (CTC) of Tax"Increment District "134" is within a range of B-4-4 $395 to $1,660 per home. The total CTC for the full build -out of 25 potential new homes to be located within Redevelopment Project Area `B" ranges from $9,875 to $41,500. As a result of the improvements to be constructed, it is expected that the estimated captured net tax capacity will be available for the housing program. It is also anticipated that this amount will be captured not more than 25 years. (See Appendix C, Estimate of Tax Increments.) L. Duration of the District Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sect. 469.176, subd. 1, the maximum duration of a redevelopment tax increment district is 25 years. The HRA elects to capture 100% of the tax increments for the duration of the district. M. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions Refer to Appendix E, Estimate of Impacts on Other Taxing Jurisdictions. N. Modifications of the Tax Increment Financing District All tax increment plan modifications will be processed in accordance with Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 4. The modifications pertaining to the necessary processing include any reduction or enlargement of the geographic area of the project or tax increment financing district; increase in amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred, including a determination of capitalized interest on debt if that determination was not a part of the original plan, or to increase or decrease the amount of interest on the debt to be capitalized; increase in the portion of the captured tax capacity to be retained by the BRA; increase in total estimated tax increment expenditures or designation of additional property to be acquired by the HRA shall be approved upon the notice and after the discussion, public hearing and findings required for approval of the original plan. The geographic area of a tax increment district may be reduced, but shall not be enlarged after five years following the date of certification of the original tax capacity by the County Auditor. O. Limitation on Administrative Expenses In accordance with Mum. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 14, and Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 3, for districts for which certification was requested after June 30, 1982, no tax increment shall be used to pay any administrative expenses for a project which exceed ten percent of the total tax increment expenditures authorized by the tax increment financing plan or the total tax increment expenditures for the project, whichever is less. P. Limitation on Duration of Tax Increment Financing Districts Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 1, the HRA must issue bonds, or acquire property, or construct or cause public improvements to be constructed within three years of the date of certification of the tax increment district my the county auditor. 1 :1 —W'l�'. Q. Limitation on Qualification of Property in Tax Increment District Not Subject to Improvement Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subdivision 6, "if, after four years from the date of certification of the original net tax capacity of the tax increment financing district..., no demolition, rehabilitation or renovation of property or other site preparation, including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to a parcel but not installation of utility service including sewer or water systems, has been commenced on a parcel located within a tax increment financing district by the BRA or by the owner of the parcel in accordance with the tax increment financing plan, no additional tax increment may be taken from that parcel, and the original net tax capacity of the tax increment financing district. If the HRA or the owner of the parcel subsequently commences demolition, rehabilitation or renovation or other site preparation on that parcel including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to that parcel, in accordance with the tax increment financing plan, the HRA shall certify to the county auditor that the activity has commenced, and the county auditor shall certify the net tax capacity thereof most recently certified by the commissioner of revenue and add it to the original net tax capacity of the tax increment financing district." R. Limitation of the Use of Tax Increment All revenues derived from tax increment shall be used in accordance with the tax increment financing plan. The revenues shall be used to finance or otherwise pay public redevelopment costs pursuant to Minn. Stat., 469.001 to 469.047, inclusive, as amended. These revenues shall not be used to circumvent existing levy limit law. No revenues derived from tax increment shall be used for the construction or renovation of a municipally owned building used primarily and regularly for conducting the business of the municipality. This provision shall not prohibit the use of revenues derived from tax increments for the construction or renovation of a parking structure, a commons area used as a public park or a facility used for social, recreational or conference purposes and not primarily for conducting the business of the municipality. Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 4j, at least 90 percent of the revenues derived from tax increments from a redevelopment district must be used to finance the cost of correcting conditions that allow designation of a redevelopment district under section 469.174. These costs include acquiring properties containing structurally substandard buildings or improvements, acquiring adjacent parcels necessary to provide a site of sufficient size to permit development, demolition of structures, clearing of the land, and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks, and parking facilities for the site. The allocated administrative expenses of the authority may be included in the qualifying costs. S. Notification of Prior Planned Improvements Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 4, the HRA will review and search property files for properties to be included in the tax increment district and to identify those properties for :-. which building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately proceeding approval of the tax increment financing plan by the City. T. Excess Tax Increments Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, .subd. 2, in any year in which the tax increment exceeds the amount necessary to pay the costs authorized by the tax increment plan, including the amount necessary to cancel any tax levy as provided in Minn. Stat., Sec. 475.6 1, subd. 3, the BRA shall use the excess amount to: 1. Prepay the outstanding bonds; 2. Discharge the pledge of tax increment therefor; 3. Pay into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of such bond; 4. Repay any loans including interest on these loans; or 5. Return the excess to the county auditor for redistribution to the respective taxing jurisdictions in proportion to their tax capacity rates. The amounts distributed to a city or county must be deducted from the levy limits of the governmental unit for the following year. In calculating the levy limit base for later years, the amount deducted must be treated as a local government aid payment. For the purpose of this tax increment financing plan, excess tax increment means that increment received in any year which is in addition to the amount needed to satisfy the BRA's current financial obligations or commitments, as specified in the tax increment financing budget listed in Appendix D, or which is in addition to that which is placed in a separate account for the purpose of accumulating funds needed to satisfy those financial obligations or commitments in the future. U. Restrictions on Pooling; Five -Year Limit given: In accordance with Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.1763, the following terms have the meanings "Activities" means acquisition of property, clearing of land, site preparation, soils correction, removal of hazardous waste or pollution, installation of utilities, construction of public or private improvements, and other similar activities, but only to the extent that tax increment revenues may be spent for such purposes under other law. Activities do not include allocated administrative expenses, but do include engineering, architectural, and similar costs of the improvements in the district. "Third Party" means an entity other than (1) the person receiving the benefit of assistance financed with tax increments, or (2) the municipality or the development authority or other person substantially under the control of the municipality. I:M111fi district: Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.1763, subd. 2 with respect to expenditures outside the (a) For each tax increment financing district, an amount equal to at least 75 percent of the revenue derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district must be expended on activities in the district or to pay bonds, to the extent that the proceeds of the bonds were used to finance activities in the district or to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds. Not more than 25 percent of the revenue derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district may be expended, through a development fund or otherwise, on activities outside of the district but within the defined geographic area of the project except to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds. The revenue derived from tax increments for the district that are expended on costs under section 469.176, subdivision 4h, paragraph (b), may be deducted first before calculating the percentages that must be expended within and without the district. Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.173, subd. 3 with respect to the five -year rule: (a) Revenues derived from tax increments are considered to have been expended on an activity within the district under subdivision 2 only if one of the following occurs: (1) before or within five years after certification of the district, the revenues are actually paid to a third party with respect to the activity; (2) bonds, the proceeds of which must be used to finance the activity, are issued and sold to a third party before or within five years after certification and the revenues are spent to repay the bonds; (3) binding contracts with a third party are entered into for performance of the activity before or within five years after certification of the district and the revenues are spent under the contractual obligation; or (4) costs with respect to the activity are paid before or within five years after certification of the district and the revenues are spent to reimburse a party for payment of the costs. (b) For purposes of this subdivision, bonds include subsequent refunding bonds if one of two tests is met: (1) the proceeds of the original refunded bonds were spent on activities within five years after the district was certified or (2) the original refunded bonds are issued within five years after the district was certified and the proceeds are expended on activities within a reasonable temporary period within the meaning of the use of that term under section 148(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.173, subd. 4 with respect to use of revenues for decertification: B-4 -8 Beginning with the sixth year following certification of the district, 75 percent of the revenues derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district that remain after the expenditures permitted under subdivision 3 must be used only to pay outstanding bonds, as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause (2), and paragraph (b) or contracts, as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clauses (3) and (4). When the outstanding bonds have been defeased and when sufficient money has been set aside to pay contractual obligations as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clauses (3) and (4), the district must be decertified and the pledge of tax increment discharged. V. Assessment Agreements Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 8, the HRA may enter into an agreement in recordable form with a developer or redeveloper of property within the tax increment district which establishes a minimum market value of the tax increment district. The assessment agreement shall be presented to the county assessor who shall review the plans and specifications for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land upon which the improvements are to be constructed and so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears in the judgment of the assessor, to be a reasonable estimate, the assessor may certify the minimum market value agreement. W. Administration of the Tax Increment District and Maintenance of the Tax Increment Account Administration of the tax increment district will be the responsibility of the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority. The tax increment received as a result of increases in the net tax capacity of the tax increment district will be maintained in a special account separate from all other BRA and municipal accounts and expended only upon sanctioned activities identified in the tax increment financing plan. X. Annual Disclosure Requirements Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 6a, on or before March 1 of each year, the HRA must annually report to the commissioner of revenue the following: 1. Total principal amount of nondefeased tax increment financing bonds that are outstanding at the end of the previous calendar year; and 2. Total annual amount of principal and interest payments that are due for the current calendar year on (i) general obligation tax increment financing bonds, and (ii) other tax increment financing bonds. Also in accordance with this requirement the HRA must annually report to the commissioner of revenue the following amounts for the tax increment financing district: 1. Type of district; 2. Date on which the district is required to be decertified; 3. Captured net tax capacity of the district, by property class as specified by the commissioner of revenue, for taxes payable in the current calendar year; 4. Tax increment revenues for taxes payable in the current calendar year; 5. Whether the tax increment financing plan or other governing document permits increment revenues to be expended (i) to pay bonds, the proceeds of which were or may be expended on activities located outside of the district, (ii) for deposit into a common fund from which money may be expended on activities located outside of the district, or (iii) to otherwise finance activities located outside of the tax increment financing district; and 6. Any additional information that the commissioner of revenue may require. Y. Assumptions It was necessary to make certain assumptions regarding income, costs and timing of the tax increment financing district. These assumptions are based on discussions with the ERA, City, and County staff, and consultants. Z. Municipal Findings Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 3, before or at the time of approval of the tax increment financing plan, the municipality shall make the following findings and shall set forth in writing the reasons and supporting facts for each determination: 1. The Tax Increment Financing District is a redevelopment district pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10. It has been determined that parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or other improvements and more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. Specifically, staff has examined each parcel against the statutory definitions of structurally substandard and other blight definitions due to the non - contiguous nature of the tax increment parcels. Each structure has qualified under Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10. Thus, the tax increment financing district meets the requirements of a redevelopment tax increment financing district. A detailed account of property examination for eligibility are enumerated within a document entitled Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program: Blight Qualification Survey - Cycle IV" which will be on file at City Hall, Community Development Department, Housing and Redevelopment Division, for the duration of the tax increment district's life. B-4 -10 2. The proposed activities listed in this plan, in the opinion of the HRA, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future. Therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary since the proposed development requires certain necessary planning, property assembly and other improvements without which interested developers, builders, or buyers could not construct the aforementioned improvements; and without the use of tax increments or other revenues authorized by this plan to assist with the financing of the activities, interested developers, builders, or buyers would not proceed with redevelopment in the redevelopment project area. 3. The tax increment financing plan conforms to the general plan for the development of the City as a whole as it will result in the continuation of the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program for the development, redevelopment, new construction and other related improvements of residential homes for which there is limited sources of revenue available. 4. The tax increment financing plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development by private enterprise as it will enable the HRA to provide the necessary redevelopment for the project area and City, as a whole, in a planning manner suitable to both the public and private sectors.

Note that program revenue allocation of $750,000 allows for the acquisition of 13 properties on average. Appendix A-4 -5 APPENDIX E ESTIMATE OF IMPACTS ON OTHER TAXING J[TRISDICTIONS TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT "B-4" The purpose of analyzing impacts on taxing jurisdictions is to (a.) determine how tax increment assistance provided to a proposed redevelopment project impacts taxing jurisdictions; (b.) determine the level of impact as it relates to tax base; and (c.) determine the amount of taxes a taxing entity would need to levy in order to increase their respective tax base by the amount the project brings in absent the project. If the 'But For" test were not met, construction would not occur. That is, without the creation and existence of the tax increment district, construction would not occur because the cost of developing the proposed project by a private developer would be prohibitive. Acceptable rates of return on project investment could not be met and risk would be too high. Development would not move forward. Construction would not occur without the assistance of the city. In light of this, the impact to taxing jurisdictions would be $0. Foregone would be the benefits of a new construction project, increased overall tax base, and other project objectives. The estimated impact of Tax Increment District `134" would be as follows if the project were built without tax increment financing: 11"ACT ON TAX BASE The following table displays captured tax capacity when all construction is completed.

Appendix A.4-7 HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY HRA Letter No. 35 Agenda May 22, 1995 Issue Statement: Consideration of resolutions in support of right of entry, CSM, Phase II. - Background: There is reason to believe that there may be extensive soil contamination to the Phase II area. The soil of Richfield Mitsubishi may be contaminated with tetrachlorethene. In recent weeks this chemical was discovered in the soil on the north side` of 77 1/2 Street in the vicinity of the property previously occupied by Don's Appliance. Previous to occupancy by Don's, the property was used as part of a car dealership business. The chemical may have percolated to the soils on the Mitsubishi site. The current owner of the site has refused entry for purposes of environmental testing. There is also a basis to believe that the soil east of Mitsubishi may be contaminated. The source may be a property which at one time was a dry cleaning establishment. The potential for extensive contamination is due to the prevailing direction of ground water flow, to the south and southeast. Recommended Motion: Adopt the attached resolutions which will help establish the need for the court to issue an order granting the HRA the right to enter the property. Basis of Recommendation: 1. There is a basis for believing that the soil is contaminated. 2. The Mitsubishi property owner is refusing access. 3. State law provides an orderly process to gain entry once a need is established. 4. If the soil is contaminated, it could be a costly liability which would affect the property value for acquisition purposes. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Delay consideration. 2. Refuse to act. Discussion /Decision Mode: A resolution of this matter is needed quickly. Respectfu%submitted, Prosser Director JDP:cak Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property Only May 15, 1995 Commissioner introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: Housing and Redevelopment Authority In and for the City of Richfield Resolution No. Resolution Authorizing Entry for Environmental Testing WHEREAS, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Richfield ( "HRA ") is a public body corporate and politic under the laws of the State of Minnesota, as amended, and is authorized by Minn. Stat. §469.012 to acquire real estate by exercising the power of eminent domain under and pursuant to Minn. Stat., Ch. 117; WHEREAS, pursuant to Minn. Stat. 5 117.041, Subd. 2., a political subdivision by resolution may enter property for purposes of investigation, monitoring, testing, surveying, boring, or other similar activities necessary or appropriate to identify the existence and extent of a release or threat of release of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant if: (1) The . . . political subdivision has reason to believe the acquisition of the property may be required pursuant to an eminent domain proceeding; (2) The . . . political subdivision has reason to believe that a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant is present on the property or the release of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant may have occurred or is likely to occur on the property; and (3) Entry on the property for environmental testing is rationally related to health, safety, or welfare concerns of the . . . political subdivision in connection with eminent domain proceedings." WHEREAS, the HRA has commenced eminent domain proceedings to acquire the real estate described on Exhibit A attached hereto ( "Subject Property "); RJL88423 RC125 -95 1 Feldmann/Mitsubishi Property Only WHEREAS, said eminent domain proceedings (Hennepin Co. Dist. Court File No. CD2364) were commenced on behalf of the HRA pursuent to HRA Board of Commissioners Resolution No. 541, dated February 28, 1995 to implement the provisions of the HRA's Interstate - Lyndale- Nicollet Redevelopment Plan. WHEREAS, included within the Subject Property as Parcels 7 and 8 is certain real estate located at 901 West 77 -1/2 Street and 920 West 78th Street, the equitable owners of which are Terry D. Feldmann and Feldmann Holding Corporation (collectively, "Feldmann ") and the tenant of which is Richfield Motors, Inc., DBA Richfield Mitsubishi ( "Mitsubishi ") ( "Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property "). WHEREAS, HRA is contractually obligated to aquire the Subject Property pursuant to a contract for private redevelopment between the HRA and CSM Corporation ( "CSM ") to enable redevelopmemt of the Subject Property as Phase II of CSM's Shops at Lyndale Project; WHEREAS, attached hereto as Exhibit B is an excerpt from a letter dated May 3, 1994 to Murray Kornberg of CSM from RE /SPEC, Inc. which describes the possibility that the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property may have been affected by a release of tetrachlorethene from a dry cleaning facility upgradient from the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property. Upon information and belief, tetrachlorethene is a hazardous substance. Exhibit B also indicates that a portion of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property has not been investigated for possible contamination from the dry cleaner or other sources and that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's assurances of non - association were applicable only to Feldmann Holding Corporation, Vivian Swanson and Richfield Mitsubishi. Thus, it is incumbent upon a buyer of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property to independently investigate the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property to confirm that it is free of contamination which could result in liability to remediate any condition which may exist on the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property; WHEREAS, attached hereto as Exhibit C is a letter dated April 28, 1995 to Murray Kornberg of CSM, from Kevin Pierson, Senior Project Manager for RE /SPEC, Inc., indicating that RE /SPEC, Inc. has discovered evidence of contamination on the property located at 908 to 918 West 771 Street ( "Don's Appliance Property "), the property located immediately northerly of and across West 77 -1/2 Street from the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property. At this time it appears most likely that the source of the newly discovered contamination on the Don's Appliance Property was the activities of Terry Feldman Imports, which occupied the Don's Appliance Property from approximately 1985 through 1991; RJL88423 ,l RC125 -95 Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property only WHEREAS, attached hereto as Exhibit D is City of Richfield Permit No. 12461 authorizing the installation of a used oil storage tank on the Don's Appliance Property at the request of "Terry Feldman's", the owner; WHEREAS, Terry Feldman's Imports was also apparently a previous occupant of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property. By its terms, the, no- action letter previously obtained by Feldman and Richfield Mitsubishi with respect to the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property is not sufficiently broad to protect the HRA (if it purchases the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property) or CSM (if it purchases the property from HRA) and the no- action letter does not embrace all of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property. The protection afforded by the no- action letter previously obtained by Feldman is only as good as the information which was available to the MPCA at the time MPCA provided the no- action letter. The information available to MPCA at the time of the no- action letter was inadequate in that it did not include the information described in Exhibit C and it did not include tests for that part of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property lying south of the building now located on the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property. The prevailing direction of ground water flow is southerly to south easterly. in the immediate area of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property so that any contaminants, pollutants or hazardous substances which may have been released from within the building now located on the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property and which contaminated the groundwater, if any, would likely have flowed to the portion of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property which has not previously been tested. WHEREAS, the provisions of Minn. Stat. S 115.B.03, Subd. 5. provide limited protection to a condemnor of polluted property and the condemnor's purchasers. However, because of the limited scope of the protection provided by that provision, CSM and HRA staff recommend that the HRA investigate the extent of possible contamination of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property prior to the transfer of title and possession of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property to HRA, for the following reasons, among others: (a) even if HRA and CSM, as redeveloper of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property, are held to be immune from liability for cleanup of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property as a "responsible person ", it is not clear from section 115B.03, Subd. 5 that CSM's tenants, mortgagees, or purchasers will enjoy the same protection from liability; (b) because HRA or CSM may still be obliged to cleanup contamination found on the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property, even though they are not found to be a responsible person under Section 115B.03, Subd. 5 (e.g., in order to satisfy a tenant, PZLO8423 RC125 -95 3 Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property Only mortgagee or purchaser), HRA and CSM wish to know the extent of the contaminating conditions so as to know the cost of cleanup to which they may be exposed in the event they accept title to the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property. (c) The objective of HRA and CSM is to construct new structures on the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property and the objective of CSM is to rent, mortgage, and, potentially, sell the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property, including those improvements. It is the experience of CSM and HRA staff and counsel that tenants, buyers and lenders will be much less willing to occupy, loan funds to or purchase a property which has a history of contamination, especially if the contamination has never been remediated, without the protection provided in Minn. Stat Section 115B.03. The greater the amount of contamination, the greater the risk of lack of market acceptance which CSM and HRA will incur. It is important for CSM and HRA to know the extent of this risk before either of them accepts title to the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property. HRA's attorneys have requested the right to transfer title and possession of the Subject Property to HRA effective as of May 31, 1995. (d) Pursuant to Minn. Stat. S 117.195 it is possible for the HRA to discontinue the condemnation proceeding with respect to a parcel of property prior to the transfer of title and possession of that property to the HRA. It is essential for HRA and CSM to know the extent of contamination on the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property prior to the passage of title to the HRA in order to permit HRA to discontinue the condemnation proceeding with respect to the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property if the extent of contamination on the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property is such that HRA or CSM would wish to avoid accepting title and possession of the property. WHEREAS, in a given case, it is possible that the extent of contamination of a property may be so great as to pose a threat to health and safety. In such a case, it would be undesirable for HRA to become obligated to accept the transfer of title and possession of the property before knowing the full extent of the contamination (i.e., whether levels of contaminants are present which would cause a threat to health and safety). WHEREAS, it is impractical for HRA to rely solely upon the provisions of Section 115B.03, subd. 5 in protecting itself from liability because CSM may refuse to accept title from HRA if, by undertaking various construction activities on the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property, HRA or CSM could arguably become so associated with the contaminating conditions that HRA or CSM could Rn88423 RC125 -95 4 Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property Only lose their protection from liability under Section 115B.03, Subd. 5. WHEREAS, HRA's attorneys have requested that the owner of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property permit the HRA and its consultants to enter the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property for the purpose of performing soil borings and related sampling and testing to attempt to determine whether soil located upon the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property or groundwater beneath the property may have been contaminated by a release from within or outside the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property; WHEREAS, the owner of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property has so far refused to grant the HRA and its consultants permission to undertake such activities upon the Subject Property; WHEREAS, the HRA may incur liability under state or federal law for conditions of contamination present on the Feldmann/ Mitsubishi Property if the HRA does not attempt in a reasonably prudent manner to investigate conditions present on the Feldmann/ Mitsubishi Property prior to acquisition of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property; WHEREAS, the HRA desires to be as well informed as possible concerning the extent of any possible contamination present on the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property prior to concluding negotiations concerning the possible purchase price for the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property and prior to commencement of eminent domain proceedings in the event that the HRA is unable to obtain a voluntary acquisition of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property. NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of Commissioners of the HRA in and for the City of Richfield as follows: A. The Board of Commissioners hereby finds that acquisition of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property in eminent domain proceedings has previously been determined by this Board to be required and hereby affirms that determination. B. The HRA has reason to believe that a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant is present on the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property or the release of a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant may have occurred or is likely to occur on the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property. C. Entry upon the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property for environmental testing is rationally related to health, safety, or RJL88423 RC125 -95 5 Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property only welfare concerns of the HRA in connection with possible eminent domain, proceedings. D. The Owner of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property has refused to consent to the entry of the HRA and its consultants upon the property for environmental testing. The HRA's Attorney is directed to apply for a court order authorizing the entry and the removal of any sample or portion from the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property, giving notice of the court hearing concerning the HRA's request for the order to the Owner of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property or its attorney. The notice shall also give the Owner the option of requesting an equal amount of any sample or portion taken from the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property and a copy of any data obtained or report issued. E. The notice to the owner shall also state that the HRA's Executive Director and the HRA Attorney are directed to require that HRA employees or consultants who enter the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property are to do no unnecessary damage to the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property and that they shall restore the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property to substantially the same condition in which it was found. If said employees or consultants remove a sample or portion of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property for investigation, monitoring, or testing, or if they obtain any data or issue any report, they shall give the Owner of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property an equal amount of the sample or portion and a copy of any data or report, if requested by the Owner of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property, and they shall permit the Owner of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property to perform independent investigation, monitoring, or testing of the sample or portion. G. Results of testing performed on the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property shall be included in any environmental assessment worksheet or environmental impact statement which the HRA is required to prepare under Minn. Stat., Ch. 116D. Dated: May , 1995.

Afit>Re ;ox: May 3, 1994 Mr. Murray Kornberg CSM Corporation 2561 Territorial Road St. Paul, MN 55114 -1500 RE: Regulatory File Reviews for Richfield, Minnesota Redevelopment Project RE/SPEC Report No. 511 Dear Mr. Kotnberg: The purpose of this report is to summarize RE/SPEC, Inc.'s (RE/SPEC) review of select Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and Hennepin County Environmental >� Management Department (HC) files regarding sites at and in the vicinity of the Richfield redevelopment project (the SITE). The SITE is an area bounded by Lyndale Avenue to the east, Market Drive to the south, Emerson Avenue to the west and West 77th Street to the north. The . SITE does not include the Conoco service station located at the southwest corner of the Lyndale Avenue/West 77th Street intersection. Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) initially searched various state and federal environmental regulatory data bases to identify listed sites of known or potential environmental concern at or in the vicinity of the SITE (EDR report dated March 22, 1994). The EDR data base search was performed according to the requirements of an ASTM standard Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ASTM Practice E 1527 -93, sec. 7.2.1.1). Based primarily on their proximity to the SITE, available public information on several EDR - identified MPCA and HC sites was reviewed for additional information by RE/SPEC. Select portions of referenced reports, key figures and key correspondence from these files are included as attachments to this report. MPCA Leaking Underground Storage Tank Sites Richfiehl Mitsubishi, 920 West 78th Street, Richfield (on -SITE) UST Leakshe #5512, discovered 7192, closed 6193 One, 550 - gallon used oil underground storage tank (UST) and two, 550- gallon new motor oil USTs were reportedly located inside the northern portion of the existing Richfield Mitsubishi building. A UST release was reported to the MPCA in July, 1992, when Applied Engineering found indications of contamination in hand auger borings placed near the USTs. Additional soil borings advanced by Twin City Testing Corporation (TCT) in late 1992 sufficiently demonstrated to the MPCA that the petroleum release from the USTs did not significantly impact the environment. However, groundwater samples collected in two soil borings found tetrachloroerhene to be present in concentrations of 150 and 210 parts per billion (ppb), above the Minnesota Department of Health's (MDH) Recommended Allowable Limit (RAL) of 7 ppr. Tetrachloroethene is a solvent commonly associated with dry cleaning or vapor degreasing Based on a "surficial inquiry", TCT concluded that the source of the tetrachloroethere appeared to be from an off -site source - 0 Pinc Fri-c 1)rm:. 9 :n+i 280.

However, due to the presence of non - petroleum contaminants, the site was referred to the MPCA's Site Response Section for continued administration. In November, 1993, Richfield Mitsubishi was invited to participate in the Site Response Section's Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup program (VIC). The VIC program is designed to provide technical oversight by the MPCA during voluntarily investigations and cleanups of non - petroleum contamination, usually with the goal of achieving some limit of liability from the state. VIC project manager Mr. Jonathan Smith was contacted by telephone on April 28, 1394. Mr. Smith stated that R.ichficld Mitsubishi had entered the VIC program. According to Mr. Smith, Richfield Mitsubishi had installed four groundwater monitoring wells on their site during the petroleum investigation release (this information was not present in the file during our review). The monitoring wells reportedly demonstrated that groundwater flow beneath the site was generally southerly, and that tetrachloroethene concentrations were highest in wells placed near the north property boundary. Low levels (below RALs) of trichloroethene and cis 1,2 dichlorocthene were also detected in groundwater samples. Two soil borings had also been placed near a dry cleaning facility located within one block north of the Mitsubishi facility. Mr. Smith stated that tetrachloroethene was encountered in the two sail borings placed near the dry cleaner, and that the dry cleaner appeared to be a "hot spot" (a point source of contamination). On April 26, 1994, the MPCA issued Richfield Mitsubishi a limited off -site source determination letter, stating, in part, that "...the MPCA staff has concluded that the site is not the source of the Identified Release [the tetrachloroethene. trichloroethene and cis 1,2 dichloroethene detected in groundwater] and the contamination originates from an off -site source." The letter continues "The MPCA Commissioner is hereby issuing a determination to take no further action under Minn Stat. l 158.41 to 1158.18 against the Companies [Richfield Mitsubishi, Feldman Holding Corporation and Vivian L. Swanson] with respect to the Identified Release." The letter includes the limitation that "It should be noted that only a portion of the site was investigated, specifically the upgradient area. Because the downgradient portion of the site, particularly downgradient of the Richfield Mitsubishi Building. has not been investigated, the presence, absence and/or source of any on -site release other than the Identified Release has not been determined." Mr. Smith concluded by stating that the dry cleaning br.siness will soon be requested to investigate Their property as a potential source of the observed solvent contamination. Taut Petroleum, 7645 Lyndale Avenue South, Richfield —1/8 mile northeast, UST Leaksite #6123, discoverers 3193, active file A UST release was reported in March, 1993. at the Total Petroleum service station located on the northeast corner of the Lyndale Avenue/West 77th Street intersection. The UST release was discovered when Braun Intertec advanced coil borings at the site as part of a pre- aquisition assessment for the City of Richfield. Total Petroleum then contracted EnecoTech Midwest, Inc., (EnecoTech) to complete a Remedial Investigation (RI) of the site. The EnecoTech RI included the placement of four groundwater monitoring wells, two of which were placed to the south of the service station, across West 77th Street. EnecoTech summarized the findings of their RI in a March 1, 1993 letter to the MPCA. EnecoTech found that hydrocarbon impacts to soil were limited to on -site soils in the vicinity of the USTs and to off -site soils immediately above the water table at 36 to 38 feet below grade. Groundwater was determined to flow south - southeasterly beneath the service station. Two rounds of groundwater samp,e analysis (9/22/9't and 11124/93) demonstrated a maximum benzene concentration of 3 ?4 parts per billion (ppb) in MW -1, located centrally on the Tom] Petroleum site (the current RAL for benzene is 10 ppb). No free product was reported in any of the monitoring wells. 2 04/28/95 11:18 FAZ 612 646 2404 CSY CORPORATION 4002/005 Fran .

Minneapoils, Minnesota April 28, 1995 As requested in our telephone conversation on April 27, 1995, RE/SPEC has prepared the following preliminary summary of the additional assessment completed at the referenced site. The focus of the additional assessment was to further assess the extent of tenw6loroethene (PCH) impacts previously detected at the west end of the strip mall from 908 to 918 West 77 1/2 Street in Richfield, MN. The additional assessment included collection of soil and groundwater samples for analysis of PCE from 24 Geoprobe locations on the exterior of the building, and two one- foot -deep borings located adjacent to floor drains inside the buildings. The sampling locations are depicted on the attached Figures I and Z. A sample of sediment trout within the MCS floor drain and a water sample from the former Don's Applia= sewer -line oil /water separator were also submitted for PCE analysis. The Geoprobe assessment was conducted from April 3-5, 1995. On April 7, 1995, an underground storage tank (UST) was removed from the north We of the Dona Appliance Store. One excavation - bottom sample at seven and one half feet below grade and two one- foot -below -grade sidewall samples were collected and submitted for PCB analysis. A sample of the sludge from within the UST was also submitted for PCB analysis, even though there was no indication of a release from the UST. The results of the soil sample analyses are posted on Figure 1, with the sample depth and corresponding PCE concentration in parts - pet - billion (ppb) being posted adjacent to the sampling point. The posted values are those obtained using the gas chromatograph in the Geoprobe's mobile laboratory. The values contained in parentheses are the results of confirmation samples that were submitted to a Minnesota certified laboratory. For Geoprobe sampling point GP -11, the Geoprobe analytical results should be disregarded, since there was a reporting anomaly associated with the Geoprobe analytical results. 6 Pine ltee Drive.

PFOE No. : 612 486 9761 Apr. 28 1995 9: 59AM P83 Richfield Assessment Results April 28, 1995 Page 2 The greatest soil impacts were detected in the 0-2 foot depth interval of GP-IS and GP -20 located to the north of the former dry cleaners. PCE concentrations ranging from 14,000 ppb to 85,000 ppb are indicative of a surface release in this area. The next mast significant detections were PCE concentrations of 1,100 ppb in OP-16, located to the North of Don's Appliance, and 630 ppb that was collected adjacent to the floor drain in Don's Appliance. The sample collected adjacent to the floor drain inside Don's Appliance does not appear to be attributable to an off -site source. Groundwater analytical results are shown on Figure 2. Past assessment in the area indicated that PCE had apparently been released from the sewer line near the intersection of West 77th Street and Colfax Avenue. The results. of the most recent assessment appear to concur with the past findings. There appears to be a significant PCE groundwater plume migrating southwest from the Intersection of West 77th Street and Colfax Avenue. However, there does appear to be an overlapping plume. of less magnitude, that appears to originaoe from the north side of the former dry cleaners, migrating southwest. ` The results of the sludge sample from within the UST and the water sample from the oil/water separator associated with Don's Appliance are also shown on Figure 2. The sludge sample contained 20,000 ppb of PCE, indicating that former operations that used the UST (thought to be Feldmann Imports) also used PCE. Water from within the oil/water separator contained 7.1 ppb of PCE that is in excess of the 7.0 ppb groundwater cleanup criteria. A detailed final report of the assessment results in being prepared and will be available soon. If you have any questions, I may be contacted at 486 -9711.

Stat. S 469.012 to acquire real estate by exercising the power of eminent domain under and pursuant to Minn. Stat., Ch. 117; WHEREAS, pursuant to Minn. Stat. 5 117.041, Subd. 2., ". . a political subdivision by resolution may enter property for purposes of investigation, monitoring, testing, surveying, boring, or other similar activities necessary or appropriate to identify the existence and extent of a release or threat of release of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant if: (1) The . . . political subdivision has reason to believe the acquisition of the property may be required pursuant to an eminent domain proceeding; (2) The . . . political subdivision has reason to believe that a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant is present on the property or the release of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant may have occurred or is likely to occur on the property; and (3) Entry on the property for environmental testing is rationally related to health, safety, or welfare concerns of the . . . political subdivision in connection with eminent domain proceedings." WHEREAS, the HRA has commenced eminent domain proceedings t0 ' acquire the real estate described on Exhibit A attached hereto ( "Subject Property "); RJL88523 RC125 -95 1 All Properties WHEREAS, said eminent domain proceedings (Hennepin Co. Dist. Court File No. CD2364) were commenced on behalf of the HRA pursuent to HRA Board of Commissioners Resolution No. 541, dated February 28, 1995 to implement the provisions of the HRH's Interstate Lyndale - Nicollet Redevelopment Plan; WHEREAS, included within the Subject Property as Parcels 7 and 8 is certain real estate located at 901 West 77 -1/2 Street and 920 West 78th Street, the equitable owners of which are Terry D. Feldmann and Feldmann Holding Corporation (collectively, "Feldmann ") and the tenant of which is Richfield Motors, Inc., DBA Richfield Mitsubishi ( "Mitsubishi ") ( "Feldman /Mitsubishi Property "); WHEREAS, HRA is contractually obligated to aquire the Subject Property pursuant to a contract for private redevelopment between the HRA and CSM Corporation ( "CSM ") to enable redevelopmemt of the Subject Property as Phase II of CSM's Shops at Lyndale Project; WHEREAS, attached hereto as Exhibit B is an excerpt from a letter dated May 3, 1994 to Murray Kornberg of CSM from RE /SPEC, Inc. which describes the possibility that the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property may have been affected by a release of tetrachlorethene from a dry cleaning facility upgradient FROM the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property. Upon information and belief, tetrachlorethene is a hazardous substance. Exhibit B also indicates that a portion of the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property has not been investigated for possible contamination -from the dry cleaner or other sources and that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's assurances of non - association were applicable only to Feldmann Holding Corporation, Vivian Swanson and Richfield Mitsubishi. Thus, it is incumbent upon a buyer of the Subject Property to independently investigate the Subject Property to confirm that it is free of contamination which could result in liability to remediate any condition which may exist on the Subject Property; WHEREAS, attached hereto as Exhibit C is a letter dated April 28, 1995 to Murray Kornberg of CSM, from Kevin Pierson, Senior Project Manager for RE /SPEC, Inc., indicating that RE /SPEC, Inc. has discovered evidence of contamination on the property located at 908 to 918 West 771 Street ( "Don's Appliance Property "), the property located immediately northerly of and across West 77 -1/2 Street from the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property. At this time it appears most likely that the source of the newly discovered contamination on the Don's Appliance Property was the activities of Terry Feldman Imports, which occupied the Don's Appliance Property from approximately 1985 through 1991; Rn88523 RC125 -95 2 All Properties WHEREAS, attached hereto as Exhibit D is City of Richfield Permit No. 12461 authorizing the installation of a used oil storage tank on the Don's Appliance Property at the request of "Terry Feldman's ", the owner; WHEREAS, it is possible that a release on the Don's Appliance Property or the Feldmann /Mitsubishi Property or other source may have migrated to other portions of the Subject Property; WHEREAS, Terry Feldman's Imports was also apparently a previous occupant of the Subject Property. By its terms, the no- action letter previously obtained by Feldman and Richfield Mitsubishi with respect to the Subject Property is not sufficiently broad to protect the HRA (if it purchases the Subject Property) or CSM (if it purchases the property from HRA) and the no- action letter does not embrace all of the Feldman /Mitsubishi Property. The protection afforded by the no- action letter previously obtained by Feldman is only as good as the information which was available to the MPCA at the time MPCA provided the no- action letter. The information available to MPCA at the time of the no- action letter was inadequate in that it did not include the information described in Exhibit C and it did not include tests for that part of the Subject Property lying south of the building now located on the Subject Property. The prevailing direction of ground water flow is southerly to south easterly in the immediate area of the Subject Property so that any contaminants, pollutants or hazardous substances which may have been released from within the building now located on the Subject Property and which contaminated the groundwater, if any, would likely have flowed to the portion of the Subject Property which has not previously been tested; WHEREAS, the provisions of Minn. Stat. S 115.B.03, Subd. 5. provide limited protection to a condemnor of polluted property and the condemnor's purchasers. However, because of the limited scope of the protection provided by that provision, CSM and HRA staff recommend that the HRA investigate the extent of possible contamination of the Subject Property prior to the transfer of title and possession of the Subject Property to HRA, for the following reasons, among others: (a) even if HRA and CSM, as redeveloper of the Subject Property, are held to be immune from liability for cleanup of the Subject Property as a "responsible person ", it is not clear from section 115B.03, Subd. 5 that CSM's tenants, mortgagees, or purchasers will enjoy the same protection from liability; (b) because HRA or CSM may still be obliged to cleanup contamination found on the Subject Property, even though they Rn88523 RC125 -95 3 All Properties are not found to be a responsible person under Section 115B.03, Subd. 5 (e.g., in order to satisfy a tenant, mortgagee or purchaser), HRA and CSM wish to know the extent of the contaminating conditions so as to know the cost of cleanup to which they may be exposed in the event they accept title to the Subject Property. (-c) The objective of HRA and CSM is to construct new structures on the Subject Property and the objective of CSM is to rent, mortgage, and, potentially, sell the Subject Property, including those improvements. It is the experience of CSM and HRA staff and counsel that tenants, buyers and lenders will be much less willing to occupy, loan funds to or purchase a property which has a history of contamination, especially if the contamination has never been remediated, without the protection provided in Minn. Stat Section 115B.03. The greater the amount of contamination, the greater the risk of lack of market acceptance which CSM and HRA will incur. It is important for CSM'and HRA to know the extent of this risk before either of them accepts title to the Feldman /Mitsubishi Property. HRA's attorneys have requested the right to transfer title and possession of the Subject Property to HRA effective as of May 31, 1995. (d) Pursuant to Minn. Stat. S 117.195 it is possible for the HRA to discontinue the condemnation proceeding with respect to a parcel of property prior to the transfer of title and possession of that property to the HRA. It is essential for HRA and CSM to know the extent of contamination on the Subject Property prior to the passage of title to the HRA in order to permit HRA to discontinue the condemnation proceeding with respect to the Subject Property if the extent of contamination on the Subject Property is such that HRA or CSM would wish to avoid accepting title and possession of the property. WHEREAS, in a given case, it is possible that the extent of contamination of a property may be so great as to pose a threat to health and safety. In such a case, it would be undesirable for HRA to become obligated to accept the transfer of title and possession of the property before knowing the full extent of the contamination (i.e., whether levels of contaminants are present which would cause a threat to health and safety); WHEREAS, it is impractical for HRA to rely solely upon the provisions of Section 115B.03, subd. 5 in protecting itself from liability because CSM may refuse to accept title from HRA if, by undertaking various construction activities on the Subject Property, HRA or CSM could arguably become so associated with the RJL88523 RC125 -95 4 All Properties contaminating conditions that HRA or CSM could lose their protection from liability under Section 115B.03, Subd. 5; WHEREAS, representatives of CSM or HRA have requested that the various owned of the Subject Property permit the HRA and its consultants to enter the Subject Property for the purpose of performing soil borings and related sampling and testing to attempt to determine whether soil located upon the Subject Property or groundwater beneath the property may have been contaminated by a release from within or outside the Subject Property or the Don's Appliance Property or any other property; WHEREAS, the owners of several parcels of the Subject Property have so far refused to grant the HRA and its consultants permission to undertake such activities upon their respective portions of the Subject Property; WHEREAS, the HRA may incur liability under state or federal law for conditions of contamination present on the Subject Property if the HRA does not 'attempt in a reasonably prudent manner to investigate conditions present on the Subject Property prior to acquisition of the Subject Property; WHEREAS, the HRA desires to be as well informed as possible concerning the extent of any possible contamination present on the Subject Property prior to concluding negotiations concerning the possible purchase prices for the Subject Property and prior to commencement of eminent domain proceedings in the event that the HRA is unable to obtain a voluntary acquisition of the various portions of the Subject Property; NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of Commissioners of the HRA in and for the City of Richfield as follows: A. The Board of Commissioners hereby finds that acquisition of the Subject Property in eminent domain proceedings has previously been determined by this Board to be required and hereby affirms that determination. B. The HRA has reason to believe that a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant is present on various portions of the Subject Property or the release of a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant may have occurred or is likely to occur on various portions of the Subject Property. C. Entry upon the Subject Property for environmental testing is rationally related to health, safety, or welfare concerns of the HRA in connection with possible eminent domain proceedings. PZL88523 RC125 -95 5 All Properties D. If an Owner of a parcel of the Subject Property refuses to consent to the entry by the HRA and its consultants upon the property for environmental testing, 'the HRA's Attorney is directed to apply for a court order authorizing the entry and the removal of any sample or portion from the particular parcel of the Subject Property, giving notice of the court hearing concerning the HRA's request for the order to the Owner of that property, or its attorney. , E. The notice to the owner shall also state that the HRA's Executive Director and the HRA Attorney are directed to require that HRA employees or consultants who enter the Subject Property are to do no unnecessary damage to the Subject Property and that they shall restore the Subject Property to substantially the same condition in which it was found. If said employees or consultants remove a sample or portion of the Subject Property for investigation, monitoring, or testing, or if they obtain any data or issue any report, they shall give the Owner of that portion of the Subject Property an equal amount of the sample or portion and a copy of any data or report, if requested by the Owner of the Subject Property, and they shall permit the Owner of that portion of the Subject Property to perform independent investigation, monitoring, or testing of the sample or portion. G. Results of testing performed on the Subject Property shall be included in any environmental assessment worksheet or environmental impact statement which the HRA is required to prepare under Minn.

The SITE is an area bounded by Lyndale Avenue to the east, Market Drive to the south, Emerson Avenue to the west and West 77th Street to the north. The . SITE does not include the Conoco service station located at the southwest corner of the Lyndale Avenue/West 77th Street intersection. Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) initially searched various state and federal environmental regulatory data bases to identify listed sites of known or potential environmental concern at or in the vicinity of the SITE (EDR report dated March 22, 1994). The EDR data base search was performed according to the requirements of an ASTM standard Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ASTM Practice E 1527 -93, sec. 7.2.1.1). Based primarily on their proximity to the SITE, available public information on several EDR - identified MPCA and HC sites was reviewed for additional information by RE/SPEC. Select portions of referenced reports, key figures and key correspondence from these files are included as attachments to this report. MPCA Leaking Underground Storage Tank Sites Richfield Mitsubishi. 920 Wesr 78th Street, Richfield (on -SITE) UST* Leaksite #5512, discovered 7192, closed 6193 One, 550- gallon used oil underground storage tank (UST) and two, 550 - gallon new motor oil USTs were reportedly located inside the northern portion of the existing Richfield Mitsubishi building. A UST release was reported to the MPCA in July, 1992, when Applied Engineering found indications of contamination in hand auger borings placed near the USTs. Additional soil borings advanced by Twin City Testing Corporation (TCT) in late 1992 sufficiently demonstrated to the MPCA that the petroleum release from the USTs did not significantly impact the environment. However, groundwater samples collected in two soil borings found tetrachloroethene to be present in concentrations of 150 and 210 parts per billion (ppb), above the Minnesota Department of Health's (MDH) Recommended Allowable Limit (RAL) of 7 ppr. Tetrachloroethene is a solvent commonly associated with dry cleaning or vapor degreasing Based on a "surficial inquiry ", TCT concluded that the source of the tetrachloroethere appeared to be from an off -site; source. 0 11mc lh-c 1)ri%v. �:uu 2so.: %rd_!, 111!1 SS! L)-3- i • (612) FAX 16 11) 1,4n -9 -11 1 KSI(MPO)1302- 006104 -94114 The MPCA issued a closure letter for the petroleum component of the UST release on June 1, 1993. However, due to the presence of non - petroleum contaminants, the site was referred to the MPCA's Site Response Section for continued administration. In November, 1993, Richfield Mitsubishi was invited to participate in the Site Response Section's Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup program (VIC). The VIC program is designed to provide technical oversight by the MPCA during voluntarily investigations and cleanups of non - petroleum contamination, usually with the goal of achieving some limit of liability from the state. VIC project manager Mr. Jonathan Smith was contacted by telephone on April 28, 1994. Mr. Smith stated that Richfield Mitsubishi had entered the VIC program. According to Mr. Smith, Richfield Mitsubishi had installed four groundwater monitoring wells on their site during the petroleum investigation release (this information was not present in the file during our review). The monitoring wells reportedly demonstrated that groundwater now beneath the site was generally southerly, and that tetrachloroethene concentrations were highest in wells placed near the north property boundary. Low levels (below RALs) of trichloroethene and cis 1.2 dichlorocrhene were also detected in groundwater samples. Two soil borings had also been placed near a dry cleaning facility located within one block north of the Mitsubishi facility. Mr. Smith stated that tetrachloroethene was encountered in the two soil borings placed near the dry cleaner, and that the dry cleaner appeared to be a "hot spot" (a point source of contamination). On April 26, 1994, the MPCA issued Richfield Mitsubishi a limited off -site source determination letter, stating, in part, that ...the MPCA staff has concluded that the site is not the source of the Identified Release [the tetrachlorocthene, trichloroethene and cis 1,2 dichloroethene detected in groundwater] and the contamination originates from an off -site source." The letter continues "The MPCA Commissioner is hereby issuing a determination to take no further action under Minn Stat. 1 158.01 to I I5B.18 against the Companies (Richfield Mitsubishi, Feldman Holding Corporation and Vivian L. Swanson] with respect to the Identified Release." The letter includes the limitation that "It should be noted that only a portion of the site was investigated, specifically the upgradient area. Because the downlradient portion of the site, particularly downgradient of the Richfield Mitsubishi Building, has not been investigated, the presence, absence and/or source of any on -site release other than the Identified Release has not been determined." Mr. Smith concluded by stating that the dry cleaning bLSiness will soon be requested to investigate their property as a potential source of the observed solvent contamination. Total Petroleum, 7645 Lyndale Avenue South, Richfield —118 mile northeast, UST Leaksite #6123, discovered 3193, active fete A UST release was reported in March, 1993, at the Total Petroleum service station located on the northeast corner of the Lyndale Avenue/West 77th Street intersection. The UST release was discovered when Braun Intertec advanced soil borings at the site as part of a pre- aquisition assessment for the City of Richfield. Total Petroleum then contracted EnecoTech Midwest, Inc., (EnecoTech) to complete a Remedial Investigation (RI) of the site. The EnecoTech Rl included the placement of four groundwater monitoring wells, two of which were placed to the south of the service station, across West 77th Street. EnecoTech summarized the findings of their RI in a March 1, 1993 letter to the MPCA. EnecoTech found that hydrocarbon impacts to soil were limited to on -site soils in the vicinity of the USTs and to off -site soils immediately above the water table at 36 to 38 feet below grade. Groundwater was determined to flow south - southeasterly beneath the service station. Two rounds of groundwater sampie analysis (9122!93 and 11124/93) demonstrated a maximum benzene concentration of 370 parts per billion (ppb) in MWA. located centrally on the Total Petroleum site (the current RAL for benzene is 10 ppb). No free product was reported in any of the monitoring wells. 2 06/28/65 11:16 FAZ 612 646 2404 From : RE/SPEC Ine.

The focus of the additional assessment was to further assess the extent of tetrachloroethene (PCH) impacts previously detected at the west end of the strip mail from 908 to 918 West 77 1/2 Strect in Richfield, MN. The additional assessment included collection of soil and groundwater samples for analysis of PCE from 24 Geoprobe locations on the exterior of the building, and two one - foot -deep borings located adjacent to floor drains inside the buildings. The sampling locations are depicted on the attached Figures 1 and 2. A sample of sediment ftan within the MCS floor drain and a water sample from dw former Don's Appliance sewer line oil /water separator were also submitted for PM analysis. The Geoprobe assessment was conducted from April 3-5, 1995. On April 7, 1995, an underground storage tank (UM was removed from the north side of the Dona Appliance Store. One excavation bottom sample at seven and one half feet below grade and two one-foot-below-grade sidewall samples were collected and submitted for PCB analysis. A sample of the sludge from within the UST was also submitted for PCB analysis, even though there was no indication of a release from the UST. The results of the soil sample analyses are posted on Figure 1, with the sample depth and corresponding PCE concentration in parts-per-billion (ppb) being posted adjacent to the sampling point. The posted values are those obtained using the gas chromatograph in the Geoprobe's mobile laboratory. The values contained in parentheses are the results of confirmation ninples that were submitted to a Minnesota certified laboratory. For Geoprobe sampling point OP -11, the Geoprobe analytical results should be disregarded, sine there was a reporting anomaly associated with the Geoprobe analytical results. 6 Pine Tmt Drive, Suite Tao, Arden H11b.

The next most significant detections were PCE concentratioat of 1,100 ppb in OP-16. located to the north of Aon's Appliance, and 630 ppb that was collected adjacent to the floor drain in Don's Appliance. The sample collected adjacent to the floor drain inside Don's Appliance does not appeal to be attributable to an off -site source. Groundwater analytical results are shown on Figure 2. Past assessment in the area indicated that PCE had apparently been released from the sewer line near the intersection of West 77th Street and Colfax Avenue. The results of the most recent assessment appear to concur with the past findings. There appears to be a significant PCE groundwater plume migrating southwest from the Intersection of West 77th Street and Colfax Avenue. However, there does appear to be an overlapping plutue, of less magnitude, that appears to originate from the north side of the forator dry cleaners, migrating southwest. The results of the sludge sample from within the UST and the water sample from the all/water separator associated with Don's Appliance are also shown on Figure 2. The sludge sample contained 20,000 ppb of PCE, indicating that former operations that used the UST (thought to be Feldmann Imports) also used PCE. Water from within the oil/water separator contained 7.1 ppb of PCE that Is in excess of the 7.0 ppb groundwater cleanup criteria. A detailed final report of the assessment results in being prepared and will be available soon. If you have any questions, I may be contacted at 486 -9711.

Background: The HRA purchased the referenced property in late November 1994 envisioning a transformation project. Working with a residential designer selected by the Richfield Visions Committee to promote good design in Richfield Homes, staff has formulated a preliminary scope of work and house design which would transform the property. A copy of the initial design work is attached. The proposed project takes a two bedroom home with limited potential and transforms the home to accommodate: • a modern kitchen and adjacent main floor family room, • the addition of 1 -1/2 bathrooms (to make a total of 2 1/2), • the addition of a master suite, • the addition of two bedrooms (to make a total of 4), • improved storage, • an attached double garage, • improved basement livability, • complimentary landscaping and outdoor family areas. Each item represents a type of project a Richfield homeowner might consider. When combined together, these items transform the home and become a resource to the HRA - an idea house - to promote good design and remodeling. The idea house would be available to compliment the remodeling fair and other events envisioned for later 1995 and through the spring of 1996. The home would be sold after its usefulness as an education and marketing tool is completed. Staff has reviewed the scope of work sufficiently with remodelers to discover: • Remodelers want to remodel, not buy, own, build and sell property as in Richfield Rediscovered. • The estimated cost of remodeling, $90,000 to $100,000 is too large a contract for a remodeler when they also have to buy the property, assume interim ownership responsibility and provide a performance security, and sell the home after completion. Recommended Motion: Authorize a formal bidding process to secure bids and negotiate a contract to transform the home at 7424 Fifth Avenue. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The HRA has acquired 7424 Fifth Avenue to remodel. 2. The HRA is required to conduct a formal public bidding process with a contract of $90,000 to $100,000. 3. When acceptable bids are obtained and presented to the HRA, the overall financial feasibility of the project will also be discussed. Six transformation projects undertaken by homeowners in 1994 have demonstrated that the concept is feasible and salable. The property at 7424 Fifth Avenue could be an extraordinary education and marketing opportunity. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Modify the proposal 2. Defer action on a proposal at this time. Discussion /Decision Mode: Staff would finalize a plan and scope of work and conduct a formal bidding process to finalize a remodeling contract by July 1995.
