Issue Statement•
Authorization to enter into an agreement with NKS Consulting,
Inc. for the delivery of Business Energy Checkup audit services.
Background:
The HRA received a grant from the Minnesota Department of Public
Service to develop and initiate a business property energy audit
program. The audits, at a cost of $125 each, will be funded by
Northern States Power Company.
The purpose of the audit is to:
s Identify the three or four highest priority conservation
opportunities which would improve energy efficiency up to 30$
or more.
o Provide site-specific information and instruction for the
owner/manager in simple, clear terms so there is an
understanding of the conservation opportunities,
anticipated results, and appropriate follow up action.
o Provide consultation in formulating a plan of action.
• Provide a follow up with the owner/manager to answer further
questions and assist as necessary with implementing the plan
of action.
During the past four years, NKS has performed approximately
15,000 residential, 500 commercial, and 300 multifamily audits in
a variety of communities. The principal in the firm, Norman
Harold, has developed the technical training manual and been the
lead instructor for the State of Minnesota's commercial energy
audit training courses.
NKS Consulting, Inc. is a private consulting firm specializing in
the areas of energy conservation and load management. NKS
proposes to:
1) deliver professional energy analysis services to owners
and managers of small businesses, churches, and non-profit
and similar organizations located in the City;
2) provide technical assistance in program marketing to HRD
staff; and
3) provide approximately 50 audits during the period of
July, 1991 through September, 1992.
The business of commercial auditing is a specialized field with
few participants. Three known firms in the Twin City
metropolitan area were solicited by staff to respond to a Request
For Proposal. One did not respond, the other firm's response was
late and too expensive. The NKS firm responded with a proposal
that would provide the audit service at a cost completely covered
by NSP.
The agreement with NKS is similar to one already used by the HRA
with the Self Reliance Center for residential audits. The
agreement identifies a scope of service, minimum training and
certification of auditors, and liability and insurance
protections for the HRA.
Recommended Motion:
Authorize the Executive Director and Chair to enter into an
agreement with NKS Consulting, Inc. to provide Business Energy
Checkup services to Richfield businesses.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The HRA has received a grant to develop and implement a
commercial audit program. The audits, at a cost of $125
each, will be funded by Northern States Power Company.
2. The HRA previously authorized an audit service agreement
with Northern States Power Company which would provide
reimbursement for commercial audits if the HRA authorized
a commercial audit program.
3. Business Energy Checkup services are beneficial to the City
as they reduce costs related to energy consumption and
make commercial and other non residential buildings more
energy efficient.
Alternative Recommendation:
Do not authorize an agreement for delivery of Business Energy
Checkup services at this time.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
An agreement would be executed
start up could occur in July.

HRA Letter No. 18
Agenda June 17, 1991
Issue Statement•
Authorization to submit an Alternative Conservation Improvement
Plan (CIP) to the Minnesota Department of Public Service (MNDPS)
to provide a creative alternative for the funding of Home Energy
Checkups.
Background•
The HRA's award winning Bundle-Up Richfield energy program has
provided home energy audit services for approximately eight
years. The most recent audit program, called the Home Energy
Check Up (HEC), has been available for five years and has served
approximately 3,000 of Richfield's 10,000 single family homes.
Over the years, the audit has provided a package of evaluative
and educational services which are paid for primarily by NSP and
to a lessor extent by Minnegasco. In the last two years, the
scope of service has been reduced due to a 33$ reduction in
revenues for the service from NSP.
Energy program administration is paid for by MNDPS grants and
City general funds. Approximately $30,000 in City general funds
have been used to pay administration costs of this program on an
annual basis. As part of the most recently received MNDPS grant,
staff has developed several new concepts in energy audit
services. One new concept is called a "blended" HEC; a sharing
of services and costs by NSP and Minnegasco which includes
contributions to the HRA for administration and marketing.
Another concept is "continuing support" HEC audits. The two
audit type services will provide blower door test services and
furnace test services for residences.
For the "blended" and "continuing support" HEC concept to be
evaluated and, if possible, funded, the MNDPS has devised a plan
and process called the Alternative CIP. With HRA authorization,
this concept would be submitted for MNDPS consideration. MNDPS
would respond by seeking utility input, and then making a
determination as to whether the utilities should support the
proposal and at what level of funding.
To summarize, the proposal calls for:
• Funding of audits starting in the fall of 1991 through
the fall of 1993.
• Providing $388,000 for 2,400 audits and related marketing and
administration over a two year period. (The program is
presently providing this volume of service).
• A comprehensive service which provides for house inspection,
on site analysis of improvement needs and payback potential,
analysis of heat and air conditioning loss, and a package
of materials which homeowners can install to reduce utility
costs.
• Increased utility funding for administration of this program.
Recommended Motion:
Authorize submitting an Alternative Conservation Improvement Plan
to the Minnesota Department of Public Service in support of a new
energy audit service concept.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The HRA is the responsible agency for initiating energy
program proposals on behalf of the City of Richfield.
2. It would provide funds to market and administer the program.
Neither utility has provided administrative or marketing
funds in the past and this change could reduce reliance on
the City's general fund.
3. These energy program services are beneficial to the City
because they would reduce energy consumption and also improve
housing stock as audit recommendations are implemented.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Do not authorize submitting an Alternative Conservation
Improvement Plan to the Minnesota Department of Public
Service. The present audit service in cooperation with
NSP, would continue to be available.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
If the HRA authorizes submitting an Alternative Conservation
Improvement Plan, when completed, it would be forwarded to MNDPS
for their consideration. Agreements with NSP and Minnegasco
would have to be considered by the HRA prior to program
implementation.

HRA Letter No. 17
Agenda June 17, 1991
Issue Statement•
Authorization to execute contracts with South Hennepin Vocational
Technical School (Vo-Tech) to initiate two 1991-92 projects.
Background•
Vo-Tech has requested that the HRA participate in two new
projects for the school year 1991-92. The two organizations have
participated together in 15 projects since 1977. The projects
provide rehabilitation and new construction training
opportunities for the Vo-Tech students and affordable housing for
the HRA.
The 1991-92 projects would include remodeling the structure at
6318 Nicollet and constructing a new single family house at 6803
Nicollet (to be known as 6801 Nicollet when building permits are
applied for).
6318 Nicollet
The property at 6318 Nicollet was purchased by the HRA in
January, 1991. (The HRA considered a rehabilitation project
concept in April, 1991; refer to HRA Letter No. 9, April 15,
1991. Attached to this letter is a graphic representation of the
rehabilitation and new construction cost comparison discussion
from the April meeting). The property, under absentee ownership,
has been a serious source of maintenance problems for years.
Staff, in cooperation with Vo-Tech architectural drafting
faculty, has developed plans to rehabilitate the structure.
Improvements will include the removal of the existing garage and
breezway, the construction of a new two-car garage, and interior
and exterior remodeling and repair. Upon completion, the house
will have new siding, a new roof, updated electrical, plumbing
and heating systems, and finished landscaping, in addition to
other general improvements.
The amount of the Vo-Tech contract for this project is $38,761
(this is approximately $3,861 higher than estimated). The
project is anticipated to begin in July, 1991. Completion is
anticipated for August 1, 1992 with a sale to follow.
In April, 1991, the HRA authorized staff to apply for $20,000 in
funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, Iowa.
This 520,000 would be treated as a second mortgage for pay back
purposes. It is non-interest bearing and would be due upon sale
of the property by the initial buyer unless sold to a moderate
income family. The HRA would contribute an additional $20,000 as
a rehabilitation grant. (This number must now be modified to
$23,861). HRA and bank funds would be applied to rehabilitation
costs. The final sale price would be $75,000; a first mortgage
of $55,000 and a second mortgage of $20,000. Availability of
these bank funds to the HRA has not yet been established.
Notification is expected about mid June, but possibly not until
after the HRA meeting. If this funding is not received, the sale
price would remain at $75,000 but a second non-interest mortgage
would be unavailable.
6803 Nicollet
The purchase of 6803 Nicollet is pending HRA consideration at the
June 17 HRA meeting. If purchase is authorized, it is
appropriate to consider the redevelopment of the site. Staff, in
cooperation with Vo-Tech architectural drafting faculty, has
developed project plans to meet all setback requirements,
compliment the design of neighboring homes and incorporate
interior features desirable in today's market. The new home will
be similar to the Vo-Tech project nearing completion at 7101
First Avenue. The new house will be built on-site and have
approximately 1,350 square feet of finished living area. It will
feature, on the first level; a living room, kitchen, dining area,
family room, full bath and two bedrooms. The lower level will
contain a third finished bedroom, a 3/4 bath and unfinished
space. In addition, an exterior deck adjacent to the dining area
and a parking pad with access from 68th Street will be provided.
Completion is projected for August 1, 1992. A sale would follow.
The amount of the Vo-Tech contract for the new construction
project is 562,840. This is slightly higher than the similar
project at 7101 First. The increase is the result of general
cost adjustments and the sewer availability charge (SAC) required
for this non-sewered property to be used for a new home. Upon
completion, the sale price would be $80,000.
A neighborhood meeting generated some concern by an adjacent
neighbor. The neighbor wanted to buy the property but wasn't
able to arrange financing during the last six months. He does
like the look and siting of the proposed house. However, he
prefers the lot to be combined with his existing parcel and left
open and undeveloped.
Both the homes will be sold to first time home buyers. The 6318
Nicollet home will be sold to a two to three member family with
an annual income approximating $20,000 - $30,000 with the bank
funding. If the bank funding is not available, the income would
need to be higher as there would be no second mortgage. The
first mortgage would be $75,000.
The 6803 Nicollet project will be sold to three to six member
family with an annual income approximating $29,000 to $41,000.
These income limits are 80$ of metropolitan area median income as
determined by HUD.
Reduced interest rate mortgages would be secured from the
Minnesota Housing Finance Agency if available at the time of
sale. FHA financing is an acceptable alternative subject to

_ A summary of project costs and funding sources for each project
is attached.
Legal Counsel has previously reviewed the contract requirements.
A copy of floor plans and building elevations for each project
also accompany this letter.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the HRA adopt the attached resolution
authorizing the Executive Director and Chair to:
1. Execute a Vo-Tech contract in the amount of 538,761 for the
1991-92 remodel project at 6318 Nicollet.
2. Execute a Vo-Tech contract in the amount of 562,840 for the
1991-92 new construction project at 6803 Nicollet.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. Plans have been developed to meet site requirements and
program needs of the HRA.
2. Site development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan,
no variances are needed.
3. Adjoining neighbors to both sites have had an opportunity to
review the projects with staff and indicated support with the
exception as noted.
4. The projects are consistent with previous Vo-Tech projects.
5. Adequate funding is available to support these projects.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Do not authorize execution of the Vo-Tech contracts. This
would delay development which would prohibit Vo-Tech from
including the projects in their 1991-92 curriculum schedule.
2. Approve only one of the projects.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The Vo-Tech is ready to begin construction on both sites this
summer.

Issue Statement•
Authorization to acquire 6803 Nicollet Avenue.
Background•
Since 1980, the HRA has utilized the Voluntary Acquisition
Program and CDBG funds to acquire substandard or underutilized
residential properties for redevelopment. The Vo-Tech and
private contractors have developed these sites with new housing
units for moderate income families.
The Nicollet Avenue property is currently underutilized and for
sale. The property, owned by U.S. West Communications, Inc.,
contains a small brick storage shed which was previously. used for
equipment storage. It has been on the market since December
1990. With a standard lot size of 50' x 127' and a location in a
residentially zoned neighborhood, the lot is suitable for the
development of a new single family home. An independent
appraiser from BCL Appraisals, Inc. valued the property at
$23,000. Staff has negotiated a purchase price of $23,000
pending authorization by the HRA. Year XVI CDBG funds are
available for this purchase.
The HRA would be responsible for site clearance and property
maintenance following acquisition. The 1991 revised/1992 budget,
provides $1,000 to clear the site (source: CDBG XVI), $600 for
legal work to acquire (source: CDBG XVI) and $200 for property
maintenance and insurance (source: proceeds of sale of 1991 Vo-
Tech project). It is anticipated that Vo-Tech could build a new
house on site starting in August, 1991.
An environmental review by an independent engineering firm
indicated no evidence of on site contamination.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the HRA adopt the attached resolution
which authorizes the Chairperson and Executive Director to enter
into a purchase agreement and take other actions necessary to
acquire 6803 Nicollet Avenue for $23,000.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The owner is interested in selling to the HRA through
the Voluntary Acquisition Program.
2. The property qualifies for acquisition in accordance with
the Voluntary Acquisition Program Guidelines.
3. Funds have been budgeted for acquisition, clearance, and
maintenance. CDBG funds must be returned to Hennepin County
if not spent prior to December 30, 1991.
4. The subject property is the only one available at this time
which can be purchased given the limited funds.
5. The Planning Commission has determined the acquisition and
disposition of this property for single family purposes would
be in conformance with the comprehensive plan.
Alternative Recommendation:
The HRA can choose not to acquire the property. However, staff
has no alternative for the timely expenditure of CDBG funds and
the development of a future Vo-Tech project. Any alternative
will likely be more costly to acquire.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Pending HRA authorization, the property could be acquired in late
July.

To date, Marv
The 11 properties are in various stages of construction.
Agreements must be modified for nine of these properties now
owned by Marv Anderson. The agreement modifications are
contained in an attachment to this letter and are summarized
below:
1. Extending construction deadline dates to coincide with
construction progress being made by Marv Anderson.
2. Combining two agreements previously authorized by the HRA to
develop 6813 Logan parcel A and B (now known as 6809 Logan).
Parcel A and B have been sold by Marv Anderson to Mr. and
Mrs. Morris Nilsen. An HRA memo, dated May 3, 1991 discusses
the project. Anew agreement has been drafted which combines
the requirements of the original two agreements and allows
the development of the combined lots.
3. Minor changes to the design guidelines for lots purchased by
Marv Anderson where construction is planned or underway.
Recommended Motion:
1. Authorize amended construction completion dates as
indicated in the attachment.
2. Authorize execution of a new development agreement for 6809
Logan.
3. Authorize minor changes to the design guidelines for 6424
James and 6809 Logan as identified in the attachment.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. All properties for which agreement modifications are
requested have been purchased by Marv Anderson.
2. Extensions on the construction completion dates are necessary
to allow sufficient time to complete work already in
progress. The extensions would not negatively impact the
program.
~ 3. The current agreements for 6813 Logan parcels A and B no
longer accurately represent the development for that site
known as 6809 Logan.
4. Minor adjustments to the design guideline will provide more
flexibility in meeting homebuyer needs while still achieving
program goals.
Alternative Recommendation:
Do not authorize modifications to development agreements with
Marv Anderson.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Authorization of the agreement modifications is requested at the
June 17, 1991 meeting.

Construction on the first six properties is essentially
complete. The first three listed homes are already occupied by
the buyers. Work in progress includes landscaping, final gas
hook-ups by Minnegasco and, at 1016 Mildred, some additional
interior finishing work. Revised construction dates allow
sufficient time for completion of these items and inspection by
HRD staff in preparation for the HRA to consider issuance of a
certificate of completion.
Properties number seven, eight, and nine have been pre-sold.
Plans for the James site are being finalized now. Construction
is anticipated to begin within 30 days. Construction has begun
on the Logan site.
II. New Development Agreement for 6809 Logan
In January, 1991, the double lot site at 6813 Logan was
purchased by the HRA. Single lots A and B were then sold to
Marv Anderson. Marv Anderson has identified a buyer for
the double lot and the development of a single home. The
requirements of the original two development agreements have
been combined into one.
The new agreement recognizes:
- An address change, from 6813 to 6809 Logan with appropriate
adjustment to the legal description.
- A house sale price of $289,948. The previous two agreements
anticipated two houses priced collectively at $243,500.
- HRA land proceeds from Marv Anderson for the sale of the
combined site total 562,760 rather than 555,400 for two
sites.
- A Letter of Credit reduced from 520,548 to 513,188 given the
increase in land proceeds.
III. Modifications to Design Guidelines
a. The Nilsen's desire to independently arrange for and
finance the landscaping of their new home site. The Design
Guidelines require Marv Anderson to provide finished
landscaping. The Design Guidelines would be amended to
exclude the installation of finished landscaping from the
builder requirements at 6809 Logan.
b. The purchasers of 6424 James have designed a rambler style
home of their choice for the site. The plan includes the
completion of two bedrooms on the main level and unfinished
space in the basement level for a future third bedroom.
The Design Guidelines require three finished bedrooms. The
value of the proposed house at 5130,000 is well in excess of
the minimum value required by the development agreement,
$117,500.

HRA Letter No. 15
Agenda June 17,`1991
Issue Statement•
Expanded New Home Program (ENHP) progress report.
Background:
The HRA received reports in February, March, and April from Marv
Anderson Homes Inc. (Marv Anderson) concerning progress in
developing 11 lots which were purchased from the HRA. Progress
is essentially unchanged from previous reports: six sales, three
models built and available for sale, and two vacant lots
available for-sale (a sale of one of the model homes on Mildred
Drive is close to being finalized). Equally important is the
sale of an additional seven sites still owned by the HRA. These
lots are to be sold to and developed by Marv Anderson, as
authorized in late 1990. However, the sales to Marv Anderson are
still pending.
The HRA has solidly supported Marv Anderson's exclusive position
to develop this housing. With the passing of time however, it
has become apparent that the program needs to reach a broader
market of buyers. The first time buyer market and empty nester
market as well as the move-up market need to be included. In
recent weeks, Marv Anderson has requested financial support from
the HRA for expanded marketing efforts. They have also sought
approval of some revised house plan concepts which provide
greater flexibility in responding to the market. Staff is
presently evaluating this request in context with the overall
program.
Marv Anderson's requests, a review of sales and a marketing
brainstorm session provide the basis for a staff recommendation
that modifications to ENHP should be initiated at this time. A
closer look at sales provides the following:

$135,395
$137,246
$127,780
$289,948
$124,665
$122,000 (pending)
Each of these sales was initiated by a buyer looking for a move-
up opportunity. Each sale provided the right combination of
location, design features and price. For these sales, the
Expanded New Home Program, succeeded.
A marketing strategy meeting discussed how to maintain this
successful beginning. Participants included representatives of
the Visions 2004 Committee, Chamber of Commerce, Richfield
Schools and Richfield Bank and Trust. Housing market experts,
demographic and advertising specialists, local realtors,
representatives from Marv Anderson Homes and staff also offered
their insights.
The meeting generated the following observations:
- new highly visible marketing activities are needed;
possible mediums include billboards, special display
signs at sites, targeted direct mail contacts, and
corporate contacts.
- there is a need for greater house plan and price
flexibility; more reliance should be placed on the buyer
and builder to arrive at a desirable replacement home in a
given neighborhood that will also generate sufficient tax
increment.
As a result of this information and observations, staff proposes
the following:
- to end the exclusive relationship with Marv Anderson
and offer available sites to all qualified builders,
including Marv Anderson.
- an expanded marketing program; a determination of cost
sharing and the method for implementation of a more highly
visible and continuous program.
- modifying program criteria relating to house
design; providing criteria which remains sensitive
to the Richfield character of housing and offers more
expansion potential for first time and move-up buyers.
- analysis of the impact of flexible design on tax increment
cash flow projections.
- modifying program procedures for buyer/builder
participation. The type of builder, realtor, buyer
solicitation and requirements for program participation
will have to be broader than staff envisioned in April
when remarketing of lots was first considered.
- HRA review and consideration of the program revisions
at the July, 1991 HRA meeting.
Recommended Motion:
1. Receive a report from Marv Anderson Homes.
2. Authorize staff to:
a) Notify Marv Anderson that the pending sale of seven lots
by the HRA will be terminated in accordance with the
agreements in 30 days.
b) Prepare program modifications for consideration at the
July, 1991 HRA meeting.
Basis of Recommendation:
1) The venture with Marv Anderson has been a success.
However, marketing and development needs exceed
the scope of their resources. It is hoped that Marv
Anderson will continue participating, although not on an
exclusive basis.
2) It is likely that increased construction will result
from a modified marketing and development approach.
3) Following the presentation of program revisions, in July,
there should be sufficient time to identify interested and
qualified builders and initiate additional construction
activity in 1991.
Alternative Recommendation:
1) Continue the exclusive working relationship with Marv
Anderson.
2) Delay the 30 day notice to Marv Anderson until after the
HRA has been presented with and considered the revised
program in July.
DiscussionfDecision Mode:
Marlin Grant, President of Marv Anderson Homes, Inc., will report
to the board at the meeting.

Section 3.1. Acquisition of Property and Demolition of Structures. The
HRA has or_will acquire the Property. After acquisition, the HRA will demolish all
structures and other improvements on the Property,. except such improvements ss
the Developer and HRA agree are to be retained and used in connection with the
Development. With the exception of the structures, and improvements to be
retained, the HRA will clear the Property and leave the site ready for
construction. In order to allow the HRA and its contractors access to the Property
for the purpose of demolition, the Developer will grant the HRA a license in the
form of Exhibit C.
Section 3.2. Conveyance to Developer. After it has acquired the Property,
the. HRA agrees to sell the Property to the Developer and the Developer agrees to
purchase the Property from the HRA. The HRA will convey the Property to the
Developer by Quit Claim deed in the general form of Exhibit D. The purchase
price for the Property will be 562,760.
Section 3.3. Closin . Closing on the Property will take place on such date
as may be agreed to by the parties in writing.
5
Section 3.4. Taxes and Special Assessments. Levied and pending special
assessments, if any, will be satisfied at the time of closing and the Property will be
transferred to the Developer free and clear thereof. Real estate taxes payable in
1991 will be prorated to the day of closing.
Section 3.5. Soil Conditions and Hazardous Wastes. Prior to sale of the
Property to the Developer, the HRA will provide the Developer with a copy of a
Phase I environmental audit report. The Developer may obtain a soils report at the
Developer's expense prior to closing. If the Developer wishes to obtain a soils
report, .the HRA will grant access to the Property for such purpose by means of a
license agreeable to the parties. If the Phase I environmental audit report or soils
report is unsatisfactory to the Developer, the Developer may notify the HRA prior
to closing of such fact and terminate this Agreement. If the Developer terminates
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.5, the parties shall have no further
obligation towards one another for conveyance of the Property or construction of
the Improvements.
If the Developer proceeds to closing on the Property and the price paid by
the Homeowner for the Development is at least equal to the HRA Estimated Price,
the Developer will refund to the HRA its actual and reasonable costs in obtaining
the Phase I environmental audit. If the price paid by the Homeowner for the
Development is less than the HRA Estimated Price but more than the Developer's
Minimum Price, the Developer will reimburse the HRA for the prorata portion of
its actual and reasonable costs in obtaining the reports. The share of the costs to
be reimbursed by the Developer will vary from 0 if the Development sells for the
Developer's Minimum Price to 100 percent if the Development sells for the HRA's
Estimated Price. The exact percent of reimbursement will be determined by the
6
following formula: (Amount in excess pf Developer's Minimum Price divided by
~, the difference between Developer's Minimum Price and HRA Estimated Price) X
100.

CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS
Section 4.1. Construction of Improvements. The Developer shall construct
the Improvements on the Property in .accordance with the Construction Plans and
shall maintain, preserve and keep the Improvements in good repair and condition
until sale of the Property to the home buyer. Not later than the date of sale of the
Property to the Developer and for at least 30 days thereafter, the Developer will
make a good faith effort to pre-sell the Development to a Homeowner at the HRA
Estimated Price. During. such 30-day period, the HRA will schedule and co-host
with the Developer a reception or similar event designed to publicize the Property
and other sites to potential Homeowners. Following expiration of the 30 days, the
Developer .may proceed with construction of a house on the Property which is at
least equal in value to the Developer's Minimum Price. The Developer will notify
the HRA of the price at which the Development was sold to the Homeowner.
Section 4.2. Building Plans. No building permit shall be issued by the City
unless the plans therefore are in conformity with the Developer's Minimum Price,
the Redevelopment .Plan, the TIF Plan, this Agreement, including the design
standards outlined in Exhibit B, and all local, state and federal regulations. The
HRA shall, within 25 days of receipt of building plans submitted in application for a
building permit, review such plans to determine whether the foregoing require-
ments have been met. If the HRA determines such plans to be deficient, it shall
notify the Developer in writing stating the deficiencies and the steps necessary for
correction.. Issuance of the building permit by the City shall be a conclusive
7
determination that the building plans have been approved and shall satisfy the
provisions of this Section 4.2.
Section 4.3 Schedule of Construction. Subject to Unavoidable Delays,
construction of the Improvements shall be completed prior to October 1, 1991. All
construction shall be in conformity with the approved Construction Plans.
Periodically during construction the Developer shall make reports in such detail as
may reasonably be requested by the HRA concerning the actual progress of
construction. If at any time prior to completion of construction the HRA has Cause
to believe that the Developer will. be unable ~o complete construction of the
Improvements in the time permitted by this Section 4.3, it may notify the
Developer and demand assurances from the Developer regarding the Developer's
construction schedule. If such assurances are not forthcoming or are deemed by
the. HRA at its sole discretion. to be inadequate, the HRA may declare this
Agreement to be breached by the Developer and may avail itself of any of the
remedies specified in Section 8.2 of this Agreement.
Section 4.4 Certificate of Completion. Promptly after notification by the
Developer of completion of construction of the Improvements, the HRA shall
inspect the construction to determine whether the Improvements have been
completed in accordance with the Construction Plans and the terms of this
Agreement, including the date for the completion thereof. In the event that the
HRA is satisfied with the construction, the HRA shall furnish the Developer with a
Certificate of Completion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such certifi-
cation by the HRA shall be a conclusive determination of satisfaction and
termination of the agreements and covenants in this Agreement with respect to the
obligation of the Developer to construct the Improvements.
8
The certification provided for in this Section 4.4 shall be in recordable form.
If the HRA shall refuse or fail to provide certification in accordance with .the
provisions of this Section 4.4, the HRA shall within 15 days of such notification
provide the Developer. with a written statement, indicating in adequate detail in
what respects the Developer has failed to complete the Improvements in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or is otherwise in default, and
what measures or acts will be necessary, in the opinion of the HRA, for the
Developer to take or perform in order to obtain such certification. Prior to the
issuance of a Certificate of Completion, no occupancy of the Improvements shall
be permitted.
Section 4.5 Failure to Construct. In the event that construction of the
Improvements is not completed as provided in Section 4.3 of this Agreement, the
Developer shall be liable to the HRA for the amount of the HRA's expenses as
liquidated damages. As security for the .obligations created in this Section 4.5, the
_ Developer shall deliver to the HRA prior to the issuance of a building permit for
the Improvements, an irrevocable letter of credit or other security satisfactory to
the HRA in the amount of =13,188. The security shall be retained by the HRA until
completion of construction of the- Improvements has been certified by the HRA.
Upon such happening the security will be returned to the Developer and all liability
under this Section 4.5 shall terminate. If at any time prior to the issuance of the
Certificate of Completion, the HRA determines that, for whatever reason the
amount of security is inadequate, the HRA shall notify the Developer of such
determination, and the Developer shall have 30 days from the date of notification
to furnish new security in the original amount less any drafts previously made
against it. The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall not be construed to prejudice or
limit any additional rights of the HRA under Article VIII of this Agreement.

the insurer to give not less than thirty (30) days advance notice to the HRA in the
event of cancellation oP such policy or change affecting the coverage thereunder.
Section 5.2. Modification: In order to facilitate obtaining financing for the
construction of the Improvements, the HRA agrees to modify this Article V to
accommodate the interests of the Developer or the Holder of the First Mortgage;
provided, however, that the HRA determines, in its reasonable judgment, that any
such modification will adequately protect the legitimate interests and security of
the HRA with respect to the Improvements.

ARTICLE VI.
FINANCING
Section 6.1 Financing. Within 15 days of the date of execution of this
Agreement, the Developer shall submit to the HRA evidence of financing for the
Improvements in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.1(b) of this
Agreement. If the HRA finds that the financing is adequate in amount to provide
for the construction of the Improvements, the HRA shall notify the Developer of
its approval.
If the HRA rejects the evidence of financing as inadequate, the Developer
shall have 30 days or such additional period of time as the Developer may
reasonably require from the date of such notification to submit evidence of
financing satisfactory to-the HRA. If the Developer fails to submit such evidence
or fails to lase due diligence in pursuing financing, the HRA may terminate this
Agreement and both parties shall be released from any further obligation or
liability hereunder, except for the HRA's remedies pursuant to Section 4.5 of this
Agreement.
Se.etion 6.2 Limitation Upon Encumbrance of Property. Prior to the
issuance of the Certificate of Completion, neither the Developer nor any successor
in int-crest to the Property or any part thereof shall engage in any financing or any
other transaction creating any Mortgage or other encumbrance or lien upon the
Property, whether by express agreement or operation of law, or suffer any encum-
brance or lien to be made on or attached to the Property other than the liens or
encumbrances attached for the purposes of obtaining funds to the extent necessary
for making the Improvements without the prior written approval of the HRA. The
HRA shall not approve any Mortgage which does not contain terms which conform
to the terms of this Article VI and Section 8.2 of this Agreement.
11
Section. 6.3 Copy of Notice of Default to Lender. Whenever the HRA shall
deliver any .notice or demand to the Developer with respect to any breach or
default by the Developer in its obligations or covenants .under this Agreement, the
HRA shall at the same time. forward a copy of such notice or demand to each
Holder of any Mortgage authorized by the Agreement at the last address of such
Holder shown in the records of the HRA.
Section 6.4 Lender's Option to Cure Defaults. After any breach or default
referred to in Section 8.1 of this Agreement, each such Holder, insofar as the
rights of the HRA are concerned, shall have the right, at its option, to cure or
remedy such breach or default, or such breach or default to the extent that it
relates to the part of the Property covered by its Mortgage, and to add the cost
thereof to the Mortgage debt and the lien of its Mortgage; provided that if the
breach or default is with respect to construction of the Improvements, nothing
contained in this Section 6.4 or any other section of this Agreement shall be
deemed to permit or authorize such Holder, either before or after foreclosure or
.action in lieu thereof, to undertake or continue the construction of the
Improvements or completion of the Development beyond the extent necessary to
conserve or protect Improvements or construction already made without first
having expressly assumed the obligation to the HRA, by written agreement, to
complete, in the manner provided in this Agreement, the Development or the part
thereof to which the lien or title of such Holder relates.
Any such Holder who shall promptly complete the Development or appli-
cable part thereof shall be entitled, upon written request made to the HRA, to
certification by the HRA to such effect in the manner provided in Section 4.4 of
this Agreement, ,and any such certification shall, if so requested by such Holder,
mean and provide that any remedies or rights that the HRA shall have or be
12
entitled to because of failure of the Developer or any successor in interest to the
Property, or any part thereof, to cure. or remedy any default with respect to the
construction of the Improvements on other parts or parcels of the Property, or
because of any other default in or breach of the- Agreement by the Developer or
such successor, shall not apply to the Property to which such certification relates.
Section 6.5 HRA's Option to Cure Default. In the event the Holder of
financing authorized pursuant to this Article VI sends a notice of default to the
Developer, the Holder shall also use its best efforts to notify the HRA in writing
of; (a) the fact of the default, (b) the elements of the default, and (c) the actions
required to cure the default. If the Developer fails to cure the default in a timely
manner or .fails to make arrangements satisfactory to the Holder to cure said
default, the HRA shall have 30 days from the expiration of such cure period to cure
the .default.- If the HRA cures the default as set forth above, the Holder shall
pursue none of its remedies under the financing based upon the said default of the
Developer. In the event of a transfer of the title to the Property to a third party
approved by the HRA -and Holder, which approval cannot be unreasonably withheld,
regardless of whether required to cure a default, said transfer shall not constitute
an Event of Default under the financing unless the security of the Holder has, in
fact, been impaired by said transfer. In the event of such approved transfer which
does not impair the security of the Holder, the Holder shall permit the transferee
to assume. all outstanding obligations and receive all remaining disbursements
under the financing.
Section 6.6 Subordination. In order to facilitate obtaining financing for the
construction of the Improvements by the Developer, the HRA shall agree to modify
this. Agreement in the manner and to the extent it deems reasonable, upon request
by the financial institution and the Developer.

ARTICLE VII.
PROHIBITIONS AGAINST ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER
Section 7.1 Representation as to Redevelopment. The Developer represents
and agrees that its undertakings pursuant to the Agreement, are for the purpose of
development of the Property and not for speculation in landholding. The
Developer further recognizes that, in view of:
(s) the importance of the development of the Property to the general
welfare of Richfield; and
(b) the substantial financing and other public aids that have been made
available by the HRA .for the purpose of making the Development possible
the qualifications and identity of the Developer are of particular concern to
the HRA.
The Developer further recognizes that it is because of such qualifications
and identity that the HRA is entering into this Agreement, and, in so doing, is
further willing to rely on the representations and undertakings of the Developer for
the faithful performance of all undertakings and covenants agreed by the
Developer to be performed.
Section 7.2. Prohibition Against Transfer of Property and Assignment of
Agreement. For the reasons set out in Section 7.1 of this Agreement, the Develop-
er represents and agrees that, except for associating with other individuals or
entities, prior to the completion of Improvements as certified by the HRA:
(a) Except only by way of security for, and only for the purpose of
obtaining financing necessary to enable the Developer or any successor in
interest to the Property, or any part thereof, to perform its obligations with
respect to the Development under this Agreement, and any other purpose
authorized by this Agreement, the Developer, except as so authorized, has
not made or created, and that it will not make or create, or suffer to be
made or created, any total or partial sale, assignment, conveyance, or any
trust or power, or transfer in any other mode or form of or with respect to
this Agreement or the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein,
or any contract or agreement to do any of the same, without the prior
written approval of the HRA; and
(b) The HRA shall be entitled to require, except ss otherwise provided in
this Agreement, as conditions to any such approval under this Section 7.2
14
that: (i) Any proposed transferee shall have the qualifications and financial
responsibility, as determined by the HRA, necessary and adequate to fulfill
the obligations undertaken in this Agreement by the Developer or, in the
event the transfer is of or relates to part of the Property, such obligations
to the extent that they relate to such part. (ii) Any proposed transferee, by
instrument in writing satisfactory to the. HRA and in form recordable among
the land records, shall- for itself and its .successors and assigns, and
specifically for the benefit of the HRA, have expressly assumed all of the
obligations of the Developer under this Agreement and agreed to be subject
to such obligations, restrictions. and conditions or, in the event the transfer
is, of, or relates to part of the Property, such obligations, conditions, and
restrictions to the extent that they .relate to such part; provided, that the
fact that any transferee of, or any other successor in interest whatsoever
to, the Property or any part thereof, shall, for ~ whatever reason, not have
assumed such obligations or agreed to do so, shall. not, unless and only to
the extent otherwise specifically provided. in the Agreement or agreed to in
writing by the HRA, relieve or except such transferee or successor from
such. obligations, conditions, or restrictions, or deprive or limit the HRA of
or with .respect to any rights or remedies or controls with respect to the
Property or the construction of the Improvements; it being the intent of
this Section ?.2, together with other provisions of this Agreement, that to
the fullest extent permitted by law and equity and excepting only in the
manner and to the extent specifically provided otherwise in the Agreement
no transfer of, or change with respect to, ownership in the Property or any
part thereof, or any interest therein, however consummated or occurring,
whether voluntary or involuntary, shall operate, legally or practically, to
deprive or limit the HRA, of any rights or remedies or controls provided in
or resulting from this Agreement with respect to the Property and the con-
struction of the Improvements that the HRA would have had, had there been
no such transfer or change. (iii) There shall be submitted to the HRA for
review all instruments and other legal documents involved in effecting
transfers described herein, and if approved by the HRA, its approval shall
be indicated to the Developer in writing.
In the- absence of specific written agreement by the HRA to the contrary, no
such transfer or approval by the ;:HRA thereof shall be deemed to relieve the
Developer from any of its obligations with respect thereto. The sale of the
Development. to the Homeowner shall not be deemed to be a transfer within the
meaning of this Section 7.2.
Section ?.3 Approvals. Any approval required to be given by the HRA under
this Article VII may be denied only in the event that the HRA reasonably
determines that the ability of the Developer to perform its obligations under this
Agreement will be materially impaired by the action for which approval is sought.

not be necessary to give notice, other than such notice as may be required in this
Article VIII.
