HRA Meeting Minutes -4- August 16, 2021
Assistant Community Development Director Poehlman presented Staff Report No. 26
Chair Supple asked Brian Bochman, Lynk65 LLC (Developer) to speak about the concerns
he has with the feasibility of the commercial portion without the cash infusion and going straight to
residential.
The Developer spoke of the impact Covid has had on retail spaces that go into store fronts
and a massive increase in development costs such as lumbar, steel and appliances. He also spoke
to supply chain issues they’ve been experiencing. In regards to eliminating or reducing the
commercial space, he spoke of difficulties with predicting if tenants would occupy the space and
with receiving financing due to the way commercial space is appraised.
Chair Supple inquired about new Planning Commission permissions that may be required.
Assistant Community Development Director Poehlman explained the removal of retail
space and replacement with housing would require the project to go to the Planning Commission
and City Council for amendments.
Commissioner Sandahl stated that this would be an opportunity to use funds that might
otherwise have to be returned to the County and she would recommend the proposal.
Chair Supple stated that she has not decided if she feels the development should be full
residential or include the originally proposed commercial space.
Assistant Community Development Director Poehlman explained the area is guided for a
mix of uses and explained the need for commercial spaces in the area.
Commissioner Sandahl spoke of the benefits of the commercial space.

REPORT PREPARED BY: Lynnette Chambers, Multifamily Housing Coordinator
OTHER DEPARTMENT REVIEW:
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REVIEW: John Stark, Executive Director
9/14/2021
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consider an adjustment to the payment standard for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On an annual basis, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) establishes a Fair
Market Rent (FMR) for the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, by bedroom size. Individual Housing and
Redevelopment Authorities are allowed to select a payment standard within 90% to 110% of HUD's FMR. The
selection of the payment standard should ensure that a sufficient supply of rental housing is available to
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (Program) participants. HUD's newly published FMRs have
increased and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority's (HRA) current payment standards do not fit within
the established parameters. To remain in compliance with HUD regulations, the HRA must increase its
payment standards. The proposed payment standards will fall between 90% to 93% of the current FMRs.
The new payment standards are effective for October 1, 2021. The attached table lists the specific changes
proposed. The last adjustment made by the HRA was on July 20, 2021 for one and two bedroom units;
therefore, these payment standards will remain the same. The new payment standards will increase for zero,
three, four and five bedroom units.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By motion: Approve the proposed adjustment of the payment standard for the Section 8 Housing
Choice Voucher Program.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A.HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The HRA last adjusted its payment standards in July 2021 for one and two bedroom units. This
adjustment in payment standards will affect only zero, three, four and five bedroom units.
B.POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
The HRA must approve increases in the payment standard for the Program in order to remain
compliant with HUD regulations that require payment standards to fall within 90-110% of HUD's
FMRs.
Section 8 participants will be able to choose from a larger selection of affordable housing units
and may receive some immediate rent relief on a case-by-case basis.
HUD provides sufficient federal assistance to cover these adjustments in the payment standards
and has approved the increase.
Without an increase in the payment standard, many Section 8 participants will be unable to find
housing and keep up with changing rents.
Potential changes in Federal law impact the financial resources available to the Program if the
HRA does not remain current with the FMR.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
The new payment standards will be effective October 1, 2021.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
An increase in the payment standard will decrease the rent burden for Section 8 participants.
HUD provides sufficient funding to cover the increase.
E.L E GAL C ON S ID E R AT ION:
The contract between the HRA and HUD provides for F MR adjustments in accordance with
federal regulations.
ALTE R N AT IV E R E C O MME N D ATIO N(S):
Do not change the payment standard at this time; however, the HRA will not be in compliance with HUD
regulations.

Consider the adoption of a resolution approving amended and restated documents related to the
Chamberlain Apartments Project.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
On J une 18, 2018, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) approved an Amended and Restated
Contract for Private Development (Contract) with Chamberlain Apartments, LLC (Developer) to acquire
certain HRA properties and other privately-owned properties, construct 283 new apartments and substantially
rehabilitate three 11-unit apartment buildings. Per the Contract, the HRA agreed to reimburse the Developer
for a portion of the acquisition costs and certain site improvement costs with tax increment. T he Developer
agreed to provide a Developer Surplus Cash Note to the HRA (principal amount of $682,850) to pay
for the H R A property, and to record a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants (Declaration) on the
property which relates to the affordable units.
Financing for the project was provided by a loan (H U D Loan) from the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) and per the Contract, the HRA subordinated its rights under the
Contract to the rights of HUD. T he Developer has notified the H R A that their HUD Loan will be
amended and restated and in connection, the HUD Rider to the Declaration and the Developer
Surplus Cash Note require amendment and restatement, and the H R A is required to confirm and
ratify its subordination of the Contract to the H U D Loan.
T his action will not have a financial impact on the H R A and staff recommends approval of the
documents that will allow the Developer to amend the H U D Loan.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
By motion: Approve the attached resolution approving amended and restated documents connected to
the Chamberlain Apartments Project.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT I O N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON T E X T
On October 19, 2015, the Richfield HRA entered into a Preliminary Development Agreement with
the Anderson Companies (predecessor to the Developer) for the development of the Cedar Point
South Redevelopment Area.
On August 29, 2017, the HRA approved a Contract for Private Development with the
Developer for the Cedar Point South Redevelopment Area. This Contract was further amended by
the HRA at its October 16, 2017 and April 16, 2018 meetings.
On J une 18, 2018, the HRA approved an Amended and Restated Contract for Private
Development with Chamberlain Apartments, LLC. This agreement remains in place and dictates
the requested action tonight.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
The Contract specifically states that the affordability covenants are subordinate to the HUD Loan.
The Contract also stipulates that the Applicant return to the HRA for approval for any further
subordinations.
The subordination request does not change the HRA's financial position.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
The Developer is seeking to amend and restate their HUD Loan and would appreciate action by
the HRA as soon as possible.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
There is not financial impact to the HRA.
E.L E GAL C ON S ID E R AT ION:
The HRA Attorney drafted the attached resolution and has reviewed all other documents.
ALTE R N AT IV E R E C O MME N D ATIO N(S):
Do not approve the requests.

payable semi-annually, commencing August 1, 2025, and thereafter on the first day of February

shall be due and payable on [August 1, 2060] (“Maturity Date”). The definition of any

of $[ _______ ] made by Maker to Colliers Mortgage LLC, Delaware limited liability company
(fka Dougherty Mortgage LLC). This Amended and Restated Developer Surplus Cash Note
(Project – Chamberlain Multifamily Housing in Richfield, Minnesota) amends, restates, and
supersedes in all respects that certain Developer Surplus Cash Note (Project – Chamberlain
Multifamily Housing in Richfield, Minnesota) dated as of June 18, 2018.
This Developer Surplus Cash Note is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. By May 31st of each year, beginning Ma y 31, 2025, and continuing until the Maturity
Date, the Maker shall deliver to the Payee a certificate signed by an officer of the

4. Except as provided in Section 5 below, as long as HUD is the insurer or holder of the
Note secured by the Security Instrument, payments due under this Developer Surplus
Cash Note shall be payable only from no more than 75% of available Surplus Cash. The

the failure of Maker to pay the indebtedness evidenced by this Developer Surplus Cash
Note. In no event may payments due under all subordinate debt of Maker cumulatively
exceed 75% of available Surplus Cash.
5. In the event the Indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument is paid in full and the

Consider a resolution supporting an infrastructure grant application to Minnesota Housing for
Woodlawn Terrace.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
The residents of W oodlawn Terrace, a manufactured home community located at 7421 Lyndale Avenue, have
been working with the Northcountry Cooperative Foundation (NC F) to form a cooperative model of ownership
and purchase the property. Under the current ownership model, the housing units are owned by individuals
but the underlying property is owned by a separate owner, leaving the park vulnerable to purchase and
conversion to another use and/or loss of affordability. The park provides affordable homeownership
opportunities for low and moderate-income households, and self-ownership ensures that the park and its long-
term affordability is preserved.
The W oodlawn Terrace Cooperative (Cooperative) has been formed, and they are in the process of finalizing
the financing for the acquisition, which they hope to complete in October of this year. City staff have been
in conversation with representatives from NCF about a variety of ways the City may be able support
the preservation of these affordable homes, including providing funds for utility work and providing
down payment assistance to new owners.
NC F undertook an assessment of the current utilities and determined that the park, which is currently on a
private well, should be connected to City water and the sanitary sewer pipes lined. The cost for that work is
estimated at $1.1 million, and NC F is seeking funds from Minnesota Housing and the Richfield Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) to complete that work.
Minnesota Housing's Manufactured Home Community Redevelopment Program is a grant program
to fund infrastructure improvements or acquisition of manufactured home parks in order to assist the
needs for aging manufactured home communities around the state. T he program prioritizes projects
based on health, safety and critical need improvements, as well as projects that leverage support
from local municipalities. A match from the HRA will make the Cooperative's application for this grant
more competitive and likely to be funded.
At this time, the H R A is being asked to approve a resolution committing the funds to be submitted
along with the grant application to Minnesota Housing, which is due September 30, 2021. T he H R A
has redevelopment pooled increment available to provide assistance and has budgeted $350,000 in
the 2022 budget to assist with the utility improvements. Currently this "pooled redevelopment T IF"
has a very limited number of uses permitted under Minnesota T IF statutes; the requested use in
among those limited uses. T his funding was specifically included in the 2022 HRA Budget that was
approved in August.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
By motion: Adopt the attached resolution approving support for an infrastructure grant application to
Minnesota Housing by the W oodlawn Terrace Cooperative in support of utility improvements at
Woodlawn Terrace.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT I O N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON T E X T
The current residents of W oodlawn Terrace formed a cooperative earlier this year and are
working to purchase the underlying property.
There are currently 32 housing units in the park, and the cooperative plans to increase that
number to 53, offering an opportunity for an additional 21 households to purchase homes. Staff
and NC F are in the process of identifying possible funding sources to create a down payment
assistance program that would offer assistance to households earning up to 50% of the Area
Median I ncome.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
The City's I nclusionary Housing Policy (I HP) requires that projects containing the construction of
at least five new units and receiving financial assistance from the HRA provide a percentage of the
units as affordable. I n the case of ownership developments, 20% of the units must be affordable at
115% of the Area Median I ncome (A MI ), 15% affordable at 100% of the A MI , or 10% affordable
at 80% of the A MI . Of the current units at Woodlawn Terrace, 34% are owned by households
earning less than 50% of the A MI , which greatly exceeds the requirements of the I HP. I n addition,
there will be 21 new units for sale, and any down payment assistance provided would be targeted
to households earning less than 80% of the A MI , with the priority given to households earning less
than 50% A MI . The actual number will be dependent upon the funds available.
The Minnesota Housing grant requires the park to remain a manufactured home community for 25
years, to maintain lot rent affordable to low and moderate income households, and to cap rent
increases at five percent annually.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
The grant application is due to Minnesota Housing on September 30, 2021.
The Cooperative anticipates closing on the property in October 2021.
The utility work is planned for 2022.
A grant agreement between the Cooperative and the HRA would need to be executed before any
HRA funds are expended.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
The proposed match from the HRA is $350,000. Funds would be taken from the Housing and
Redevelopment Fund (HRF), specifically pooled redevelopment funds from the I nterchange W est
tax increment financing district. The 2022 HRA budget includes funding for this request.
E.L E GAL C ON S ID E R AT ION:
Approval of the resolution is contingent upon the Cooperative completing its purchase of the
property, that the Minnesota Housing grant be awarded, and that the HRA and the Cooperative
enter into a grant agreement.
A condition of the use of HRF monies is that the property qualify as substandard. Staff have
inspected the property and determined that there are blighted conditions at the property.

Consider a Preliminary Donation Agreement with Metro Campus 1, LL C to explore the donation of the
office building and property at 1600 78th Street East to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
Over the past ten to fifteen years, Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) staff and the ownership and
management of Metro Sales, I nc. have developed and maintained an excellent working relationship. Recently
a representative of owner J erry Mathwig (acting as a Power of Attorney) approached staff about the
possibility of donating a part of their property (owned under Metro Campus 1, L L C) located at 1600 78th
Street East to the HRA. The office building on this site was the former home of EcoSmart, a water filtration
company, and has been in a state of perpetual construction for more than 10 years. The current owner
purchased the property from EcoSmart in 2019 with the intent of completing construction and using the office
space to consolidate employees that were scattered in several locations throughout the metro. These plans
have changed and the owner is interested in donating the property to the HRA for future redevelopment. T he
property is located near the future 77th Street underpass and could provide the H R A with additional
influence over redevelopment in this important area.
Before accepting the donation, the H R A Attorney has recommended that due diligence work be
done. T his would include a review of title work, inspection of the property, appraisal, and
environmental testing to determine the site's suitability and feasibility for redevelopment. T he
attached agreement establishes the terms under which this work could occur and the timeline for the
donation/acceptance of the property. If, after this due diligence, the H R A concludes that it would like
to accept the property, the HRA would agree to reimburse the owner for the second half 2021 taxes
($40,486.60). T he current estimated market value of the property is $2,326,000.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
By motion: Approve the attached Preliminary Donation Agreement with Metro Campus 1, L LC to
explore the acceptance of property at 1600 78th Street East.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT I O N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON T E X T
The City currently owns property at 1710 78th Street East.
Ownership of 1600 78th Street East would strengthen the City/HRA's position in influencing
redevelopment in the area immediately adjacent to the 77th Street underpass.
The properties in this area are guided for Regional Commercial Use by the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
The HRA Attorney has concluded that the HRA is eligible to receive a land donation such as the
one contemplated.
Approval of the attached Preliminary Donation Agreement does not obligate the HRA to accept the
donation.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
The owner would prefer for the HRA to accept the donated property in 2021 for tax purposes.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
Current estimated market value of the property is approximately $2.3 million.
I f the HRA accepts the property donation, the seller is asking to be reimbursed for the second half
2021 property taxes (approximately $40,000).

Agreement.

I T E M F O R C O UNC IL C O NS ID E RAT I O N:
Consideration of proposed changes to the Contract for Private Development with Cedar Point
Investments, LL C, extending the contract deadline and allowing for the sale of market-rate
townhomes.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
Cedar Point I nvestments, L L C (Developer), is constructing 64 townhome units in the Cedar Point I I Housing
area (63rd to 65th Streets, 16th Avenue to Richfield Parkway). I n 2018, the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HRA) approved the creation of a housing Tax I ncrement Financing (TI F) District and the issuance
of two TI F Notes in the amount of $900,000 each. Each Note is issued when construction has begun on 32
units, and payment is contingent upon 95% of the units being sold to households earning up to 100% (family
of 1-2) or 115% (family of 3 or more) of the Area Median I ncome (A MI ).
I n addition to approving TI F funding, the HRA assisted in the acquisition and land assembly costs for the
project, loaning the project $630,000 for the acquisition of two properties. Twenty percent of the annual tax
increment generated by the project is set aside to repay this loan.
Construction and sales of the first 32 units are nearing completion; however, cost increases are impacting the
affordability of the project. The cost of construction for each unit has increased 32 percent since the start of
the project. Significant cost increases in materials and labor, along with delays caused by the pandemic and
shortages and delays in the supply chains, have raised the sale price of the units to over $400,000, which is
out of the range of affordability for the targeted buyers. T he project currently faces a shortfall of
approximately two million dollars to complete the final 32 units.
Given the current unaffordability of the units, the Developer is proposing to construct the remaining 32 units
as market-rate units and sell to buyers regardless of income. Prices will likely rise to the upper $400,000's as
a result. Under this scenario, the second TI F Note would not be issued, and the HRA would receive an
estimated $272,197 less in TI F to repay the inter-fund loan. W hile these market-rate units would not
contribute to the interfund loan, they would immediately go onto the tax roles and would generate tax revenues
for the City, HRA, County and School District through their levies. The total estimated tax revenues from the
addition of 32 townhomes valued at $400,000 is approximately $185,000.
Both staff and the Developer would prefer to continue selling the units as affordable; however, the current path
is not sustainable under current market conditions. I n order to allow the project to proceed, staff proposes to
create an amendment to the Contract for Private Redevelopment (Contract) with the following provisions:
The Developer would be able to sell the remaining 32 units as market-rate or affordable.
The decision regarding affordability would be made by groups or "pods" of eight units.
At the conclusion of construction, any pods of eight sold as market-rate would be removed from the
TI F District.
At the conclusion of construction, if any units are sold as affordable, the second TI F Note would be
sized accordingly (i.e., $225,000 per pod of eight constructed).
At the sale of each unit, the Developer would place $8,506 into an escrow account to make up for the
estimated loan repayment shortfall. At the conclusion of construction, an estimate of projected tax
increment would be prepared by the City's financial consultant and the final amount paid to the HRA
from the escrowed funds would be determined.
The final construction date would be extended from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024.
I f the HRA approves of the proposed changes, the HRA Attorney would prepare a contract amendment for
consideration by the HRA at its October meeting.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
By motion: Provide feedback for the proposed changes to the R F64 townhome development and direct
staff to prepare an amendment to the Contract for Private Development with Cedar Point Investments,
LL C.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT I O N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON T E X T
On August 20, 2018, the HRA approved a Contract for Private Development with N H H
Companies, LL C for the townhome portion of the development. T he Contract was later
assigned to Cedar Point Investments, LL C.
T he first eight townhomes had been reserved by buyers and construction was nearing
completion when the pandemic began in 2020.
Construction costs have risen significantly in the past year-and-a-half causing a rise in
sale prices and restricting the pool of available qualified buyers.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
The RF64 development consists of both the townhomes as well as 237 units of market-rate
apartments on the east side of the block. The development was negotiated and approved prior to
the adoption of the City's I nclusionary Housing Policy. Affordability standards were; however,
applied to the development, specifically 95% of the townhomes were expected to be affordable,
100% of the apartments would be market-rate but provide a 10% contribution in TI F to the City's
Housing and Redevelopment Fund (HRF).
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
The Developer needs a decision by October in order in order to continue construction. A delay
could result in losing the current builder from the project, which would further increase costs.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
Removing 32 units from the TI F District will reduce the amount of TI F collected by the HRA to
repay the inter-fund loan by $272,197. The proposed amendment would require the Developer to
place money in escrow upon the sale of each market-rate unit. At the conclusion of construction,
the City's financial consultant will prepare an estimate of projected tax increment that will be
generated to repay the loan. The final amount to be paid by the Developer to the HRA will be
based on that estimate.
E.L E GAL C ON S ID E R AT ION:
HRA legal counsel will draft the proposed Contract amendment in cooperation with staff and the
Developer.
ALTE R N AT IV E R E C O MME N D ATIO N(S):
Do not approve the concept for proposed changes to the Contract for Private Development.

Property Acquisition; Financing
Section 3.1. Status of Development Property. The Authority currently owns four of the 15 parcels
that make up the Development Property as more fully described in EXHIBIT A and shall convey the HRA
Property to the Developer pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2 hereof. The Developer currently has
executed purchase contracts for six of the 15 parcels that make up the Development Property. In addition, the
HRA has provided a loan to the Developer to assist in purchasing three of the 15 parcels that make up the
Development Property.
Section 3.2. Conveyance of HRA Property.
(a) The Authority will convey the HRA Property to the Developer via a quit claim deed. The
conveyance of the HRA Property to the Developer is contingent on (i) the Board of the Authority holding a
public hearing and approving the sale of the HRA Property; (ii) the City Council of the City holding a public
hearing and approving the establishment of the TIF District and the TIF Plan; and (iii) the Board of the
Authority approving the establishment of the TIF District and the TIF Plan. The Authority will cause the
Board of the Authority and the City Council to hold such public hearings and consider such approvals no
later than December 31, 2018. The HRA Property will be conveyed “as-is” and “where-is.” Within 60 days
following execution of this Agreement, the Authority will provide the Developer with a commitment for title
insurance from a title insurance company (the “Title Company”) acceptable to Developer. The Developer
will be responsible for reimbursing the Authority for the cost of preparation of the commitment for title
insurance. The Developer shall pay for the cost of obtaining a policy of title insurance.
(b) Within 60 days after the Developer’s receipt of the title commitment, the Developer may
give the Authority written notice of any alleged defect(s) in the marketability of the Authority’s actual and/or
record title to the HRA Property, or any portion thereof (“Objections”) and request that the Authority make
the Authority’s title marketable or conforming. The Developer’s failure to object to defects in the
marketability of Authority’s title to the HRA Property, in writing, within the time period set forth above or at
any time prior to Closing, shall be deemed a waiver of the Developer’s right to require the Authority to cure
such defects. If the Developer notifies the Authority of Objections within the time period set forth above, the
Authority shall use good faith efforts to make the Authority’s actual and record title to the HRA Property
marketable. The Authority shall have up to 45 days from the Authority’s receipt of the Developer’s
Objections to use good faith efforts to make the Authority’s actual and record title to the HRA Property
marketable. In no event will the Authority be required to expend more than $1,000 in its good faith efforts to
make the Authority’s actual and record title to the HRA Property marketable. If the Authority makes the
Authority’s title marketable within the 45-day period, the Authority shall notify the Developer, in writing,
and the parties shall close pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If the Authority is unable to make title
marketable within the 45-day period, the Developer may either: (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering
written notice of termination to the Authority; or (ii) notify the Authority that the Developer waives
Developer’s Objections. If the Developer waives the Developer’s Objections, the matters giving rise to such
Objections shall be deemed a permitted encumbrance and the parties shall otherwise perform their obligations
under this Agreement. The Authority shall have no obligation to take any action to clear defects in the title to
the HRA Property other than the good faith efforts described above.
(c) Without limitation, the Developer is responsible for satisfying itself as to matters such as
contamination, soils conditions and soil stability, and survey. The Authority shall have no obligation to cure
any defect or other matter regarding contamination, soils conditions and soil stability, and survey, but agrees
to cooperate, at no cost or expense to it, in any efforts by Developer to achieve such a cure.
9
529794v8 JAE RC125-366
(d) On the date the HRA Property is conveyed to the Developer (the “Closing”), the Authority
will execute and deliver to the Developer the following, in form and content reasonably acceptable to the
Developer:
(i) A quit claim deed conveying the HRA Property to the Developer.
(ii) A non-foreign affidavit, properly executed, containing such information as is
required by Internal Revenue Code section 1445(b)(2) and its regulations.
(iii) A standard form Seller’s Affidavit.
(iv) A well certificate in the form required by law.
(v) Any affidavit and disclosures required by law pertaining to private sewage treatment
systems.
(vi) Any affidavits, certificates, or other documents that may be required under

necessary to transfer the HRA Property to Developer and to evidence that the Authority has duly
authorized the transactions contemplated hereby.
(e) The Developer acknowledges that the Authority will be conveying the HRA Property to the
Developer for a purchase price of $184,000 (the “HRA Property Purchase Price”) and the Developer shall
pay $84,000 of the HRA Property Purchase Price to the Authority on the date of the Developer’s closing on
the construction financing. The remainder of the HRA Property Purchase Price ($100,000) will be paid by
the Developer to the Authority no later than the date that the Developer sells at least eight (8) townhome
units, plus interest in the amount of 4.0% per annum. If the Developer does not pay the full amount of the
HRA Property Purchase Price on or before December 1, 2019, the Authority shall have the option to receive
all Available Tax Increment on each Payment Date until the remainder of the HRA Property Purchase Price
is paid, plus interest in the amount of 4.0% per annum.
(f) The Developer’s obligation to consummate the Closing is expressly conditioned on
satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (i) on or before December 31, 2018, Developer shall have
determined that the matters and conditions disclosed by the reports, investigations and tests received or
performed by Developer relating to the Development Property are satisfactory to Developer and Developer
has otherwise found the Development Property to be in a condition satisfactory to proceed to Closing, (ii) on
the date of Closing, Title Company shall be irrevocably committed to issue to Developer an owner’s policy of
title insurance with respect to the Development Property in form and substance and containing such
endorsements as shall be acceptable to Developer (the “Title Policy”), and (iii) on the date of Closing, the
Developer shall have obtained all necessary land use approvals from the City (including final approval of the
PUD). If any of the foregoing conditions are not timely satisfied, Developer may terminate this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Closing will not take place until the Developer has applied for all
necessary land use approvals from the City (including final approval of the PUD) and has acquired the rights
to purchase or purchased at least six contiguous parcels and either the northernmost parcel or the
southernmost parcel within the Developer Property, in order to construct the Minimum Improvements, as
described in Section 3.3 hereof.
(g) Subject to Section 3.3 hereof, in the event that the Closing has not taken place by
December 31, 2018, and unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties, this Agreement shall terminate
and be of no further force and effect, and the parties will be relieved of any further obligations hereunder.
10
529794v8 JAE RC125-366
(h) The Developer shall grant the Authority the right to repurchase the HRA Property and
purchase the Developer Property pursuant to the Right of Purchase and Right of First Refusal Agreement as
described in Section 9.9 hereof and EXHIBIT E.
Section 3.3. Acquisition of Remaining Developer Property.
(a) The Developer will make its best efforts to acquire the rights to purchase or purchase the
eleven (11) parcels that make up the Developer Property. If the Developer is unable to acquire the rights to
purchase or purchase all of the remaining parcels of the Developer Property but has acquired the rights to
purchase or purchased at least eight (8) of the remaining parcels, the deadline for Closing set forth in Section
3.2(g) of this Agreement may be postponed for up to 90 days by mutual agreement of the Developer and the
Authorized Representative of the Authority. If the Developer wants to move forward with purchasing the
HRA Property but is unable to acquire the rights to purchase or purchase the remaining parcels of the
Developer Property, the Developer shall submit to the Authority a redesign of the layout of the Minimum
Improvements with the number of units the Developer is able to construct. The Authority has no obligation
to acquire any portion of the Developer Property, and has played no role in the Developer’s acquisition
activities.
(b) If the Developer proceeds with a redesigned version of the Minimum Improvements, and the
Developer does not develop all the properties in the TIF District, the Authority may withhold Available Tax
Increment from the parcels that the Developer did not use for the Minimum Improvements.
Section 3.4. Grants. The Authority and the Developer will work cooperatively to apply for grants
from the Department of Employment and Economic Development and the Metropolitan Council in the
amount of up to $1,700,000 for the costs of the public infrastructure needed for the Minimum Improvements.
Section 3.5. Relocation. For each parcel of the Development Property acquired by the Developer,
the Borrower is obligated to deliver to the Authority a certification describing in detail the relocation services,
payments, and benefits to be provided to the owner of such parcel.
Section 3.6. Issuance of Pay-As-You-Go TIF Notes.
(a) To reimburse the Developer for certain Public Redevelopment Costs incurred within the TIF
District, the Authority shall issue and deliver and the Developer shall purchase up to three TIF Notes in the
total principal amount of $2,400,000 in substantially the form set forth in EXHIBIT B. The Authority and the
Developer agree that the consideration from the Developer for the purchase of the TIF Notes shall consist of
the Developer’s payment of the Public Redevelopment Costs in at least the principal amount of the TIF
Notes.
The Authority shall deliver the TIF Notes in phases as follows:
Phase Maximum Amount When TIF Notes Issued
Phase I TIF Note $900,000 Construction of at least 32 townhomes commenced
Phase II TIF Note $900,000 Construction of an additional 32 townhomes commenced
Phase III TIF Note $600,000, subject to
modification
pursuant to Section
3.6(e)
Construction of final 16 townhomes commenced (unless
the required number of townhomes is reduced pursuant to
Section 4.9, in which event commencement of
construction of only the required number of townhomes is
necessary)
11
529794v8 JAE RC125-366
The delivery of each TIF Note is contingent upon delivery by the Developer of an investment letter
in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as EXHIBIT C, together with evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Authority that the Developer has paid the Public Redevelopment Costs in at least the
principal amount of the TIF Note. The principal of and interest on the TIF Notes shall be payable each
Payment Date solely from Available Tax Increment derived from the TIF District. The Phase II TIF Note
and the Phase III TIF Note will be issued on a Payment Date. When more than one TIF Note is outstanding,
the principal of and interest on the TIF Note shall be paid with Available Tax Increment on a parity basis
based on the amount of principal outstanding for each TIF Note.
(b) The Developer understands and acknowledges that the Authority makes no representations
or warranties regarding the amount of Available Tax Increment, or that revenues pledged to the TIF Notes
will be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the TIF Notes. Any estimates of Tax Increment
prepared by the Authority or its financial advisors in connection with the TIF District or this Agreement are
for the benefit of the Authority, and are not intended as representations on which the Developer may rely.
(c) The Authority acknowledges that the Developer may assign the TIF Notes to one or more
lenders that provide part of the financing for the acquisition of the Development Property or the construction
of the Minimum Improvements. Pursuant to the terms of the TIF Notes, the TIF Notes may be assigned if the
assignee executes an investment letter in the form set forth in EXHIBIT C.
(d) The Developer understands and acknowledges that the principal amount of the TIF Notes
are subject to reduction pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.8 hereof.
(e) The Developer understands and acknowledges that, although the Phase III TIF Note may be
issued in an original principal amount of up to $600,000 (assuming construction of 16 townhomes is
commenced within Phase III), the Phase III TIF Note will be issued in an original principal amount equal to
$37,500 multiplied by the number of townhomes for which construction is commenced in Phase III (up to a
maximum of 16).
Section 3.7. Termination of TIF District. At any time following the reimbursement of the Authority
for the HRA Property Purchase Price and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the TIF Notes,
the Authority may use the remaining Tax Increment derived from the TIF District for any other authorized
uses set forth in the Tax Increment Plan or may terminate the TIF District.
Section 3.8. Payment of Administrative Costs. Pursuant to a Preliminary Development Agreement,
dated March 19, 2018, between the Authority, the City, and the Developer, the Developer has deposited with
the Authority $15,000 to pay Administrative Costs. The Authority will use such deposit to pay
“Administrative Costs,” which term means out of pocket costs incurred by the Authority, together with staff
and consultant costs of the Authority, all attributable to or incurred in connection with the negotiation,
preparation or modification of this Agreement, the TIF Plan, and other documents and agreements in
connection with the establishment of the TIF District and development of the Development Property, and not
previously paid by Developer. At the Developer’s request, but no more often than monthly, the Authority
will provide the Developer with a written report including invoices, time sheets or other comparable evidence
of expenditures for Administrative Costs and the outstanding balance of funds deposited. At any time the
deposit drops below $5,000, the Developer shall replenish the deposit to the full $15,000 within 30 days after
receipt of written notice thereof from the HRA. If at any time the Authority determines that the deposit is
insufficient to pay Administrative Costs, the Developer is obligated to pay such shortfall within 15 days after
receipt of a written notice from the Authority containing evidence of the unpaid costs. If Administrative
Costs incurred, and reasonably anticipated to be incurred are less than the deposit by the Developer, the
Authority shall return to the Developer any funds not anticipated to be needed.
12
529794v8 JAE RC125-366
Section 3.9. Reimbursement for Interfund Loans. The Authority provided the Developer with a
forgivable loan in the amount of $630,000 in order to assist with the purchase of three (3) of the parcels that
make up the Developer Property. Pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated August 1, 2018 (the “Loan
Agreement”), between the Authority and the Developer, the Authority has agreed to forgive the loan and
release the mortgage securing the loan for each parcel once certain conditions set forth in the Loan
Agreement are met. On July 16, 2018, the Board of the Authority approved Resolution No, 1300, an
interfund loan resolution (which was amended by Resolution No. 08-20 adopted by the Board of the
Authority on August 20, 2018) allowing the Authority to use available funds to make the loan of $630,000 to
the Developer to acquire property, to provide a land write-down to the Developer in the amount of $100,000
as described in Section 3.2(e), and to use available funds to pay for costs related to the TIF District with the
intent of reimbursement itself for such costs with Tax Increment generated by the TIF District, with interest
in the amount of 4.0% per annum (the “2018 Land Interfund Loan”). In addition, on March 16, 2015, the
Board of the Authority approved Resolution 1199, an interfund loan resolution allowing the Authority to use
available funds to pay for costs related to the TIF District with the intent of reimbursing itself for such costs
with Tax Increment generated by the TIF District, with interest in the amount of 4.0% per annum (the
“Administrative and Land Interfund Loan, and with the 2018 Land Interfund Loan, the “Interfund Loans”).
The Administrative and Land Interfund Loan is outstanding in the amount of $359,000 for land acquisition.
The Authority intends to reimburse itself for the cost of the Interfund Loans with HRA Tax Increment
generated by the TIF District.
Section 3.10. Records. The Authority and its representatives shall have the right at all reasonable
times after reasonable notice to inspect, examine and copy all books and records of Developer relating to the
Minimum Improvements and the costs for which the Developer has been reimbursed with Available Tax
Increment.
Section 3.11. Purpose of Assistance. The parties agree and understand that the purpose of the
Authority’s financial assistance to the Developer is to facilitate development of housing, and is not a
“business subsidy” within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995.
Section 3.12. Public Art. The Developer shall incorporate one or two pieces of public art within the
Minimum Improvements that are visible to the general public and are mutually agreeable to both the
Developer and the Authority. Examples of public art include a sculpture, a water fountain, or a mural.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a total of three pieces of public art are installed as part of the Minimum
Improvements or the Apartments Project, the requirements of this provision will be satisfied.

ARTICLE IV
Construction of Minimum Improvements
Section 4.1. Construction of Improvements. Following the conveyance of the HRA Property to the
Developer, the Developer agrees that it will construct the Minimum Improvements on the Development
Property substantially in accordance with the Construction Plans as approved pursuant to Section 4.2, and at
all times prior to the Maturity Date, will operate and maintain, preserve and keep the Minimum
Improvements or cause such improvements to be maintained, preserved and kept with the appurtenances and
every part and parcel thereof, in good repair and condition. The Authority shall have no obligation to operate
or maintain the Minimum Improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developer and the Authority
agree that, for any Owner-Occupied Housing unit that is sold to a member of the general public, the
Developer’s obligation to maintain, preserve, and keep such unit shall terminate upon the date on which such
unit is so sold to a member of the general public.
Section 4.2. Construction Plans.
(a) Before commencement of construction of the Minimum Improvements, the Developer shall
submit the Construction Plans for the Minimum Improvements to the Authority. The Authority
Representative will approve the Construction Plans in writing if: (i) the Construction Plans are in material
compliance with the PUD and all other land use approvals received for the Minimum Improvements; (ii) the
Construction Plans conform to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (iii) the Construction Plans
conform to the goals and objectives of the Redevelopment Plan, as modified; (iv) the Construction Plans
conform to all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; (v) the Construction
Plans are adequate to provide for construction of the Minimum Improvements; (vi) the Construction Plans do
not provide for expenditures in excess of the funds available to the Developer from all sources (including
Developer’s equity) for construction of the Minimum Improvements; and (vii) no uncured Event of Default
has occurred. Approval may be based upon a review by the City’s Building Official of the Construction
Plans. No approval by the Authority Representative shall relieve the Developer of the obligation to comply
with the terms of this Agreement or of the Redevelopment Plan, the PUD, applicable federal, state and local
laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, or to construct the Minimum Improvements in accordance therewith.
No approval by the Authority Representative shall constitute a waiver of an Event of Default. If approval of
the Construction Plans is requested by the Developer in writing at the time of submission, such Construction
Plans shall be deemed approved unless rejected in writing by the Authority Representative, in whole or in
part. Such rejections shall set forth in detail the reasons therefor, and shall be made within 30 days after the
date of their receipt by the Authority. If the Authority Representative rejects any Construction Plans in whole
or in part, the Developer shall submit new or corrected Construction Plans within 30 days after written
notification to the Developer of the rejection. The provisions of this Section relating to approval, rejection
and resubmission of corrected Construction Plans shall continue to apply until the Construction Plans have
been approved by the Authority. The Authority Representative’s approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned. Said approval shall constitute a conclusive determination that the
Construction Plans (and the Minimum Improvements constructed in accordance with said plans) comply to
the Authority’s satisfaction with the provisions of this Agreement relating thereto.
(b) If the Developer desires to make any Material Change in the Construction Plans after their
approval by the Authority, the Developer shall submit the proposed change to the Authority for its approval.
If the Construction Plans, as modified by the proposed change, conform to the requirements of this
Section 4.2 with respect to such previously approved Construction Plans, the Authority shall approve the
proposed change and notify the Developer in writing of its approval. Such change in the Construction Plans
shall, in any event, be deemed approved by the Authority unless rejected, in whole or in part, by written
14
529794v8 JAE RC125-366
notice by the Authority to the Developer, setting forth in detail the reasons therefor. Such rejection shall be
made within 30 days after receipt of the notice of such change. The Authority’s approval of any such change
in the Construction Plans may be conditioned on amendment to provisions of this Agreement if such
amendments will mitigate the materiality of such proposed changes.
Section 4.3. Commencement and Completion of Construction. Subject to Unavoidable Delays, the
Developer will commence construction of the Minimum Improvements on or before June 1, 2019, and be
substantially complete with the construction of the Minimum Improvements on or before December 31,
2022.
Construction is considered to be commenced upon the beginning of physical improvements beyond
grading. All work with respect to the Minimum Improvements to be constructed or provided by the
Developer on the Development Property shall be in substantial conformity with the Construction Plans as
submitted by the Developer and approved by the Authority.
The Developer agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, and every successor in interest to the
Development Property, or any part thereof, that the Developer, and such successors and assigns, shall
promptly begin and diligently prosecute to completion the development of the Minimum Improvements.
Section 4.4. Certificate of Completion.
(a) Promptly after completion of each the Minimum Improvements in accordance with those
provisions of the Agreement relating solely to the obligations of the Developer to construct the Minimum
Improvements, the Authority Representative will furnish the Developer with a Certificate of Completion
shown as EXHIBIT D.
(b) If the Authority Representative shall refuse or fail to provide any certification in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 4.4, the Authority Representative shall, within 30 days after written request
by the Developer, provide the Developer with a written statement, indicating in adequate detail in what
respects the Developer has failed to complete the Minimum Improvements in accordance with the provisions
of the Agreement, or is otherwise in default, and what measures or acts will be necessary, in the opinion of
the Authority, for the Developer to take or perform in order to obtain such certification.
(c) Regardless of whether a Certificate of Completion is issued by the Authority, the
construction of the Minimum Improvements shall be deemed to be complete upon issuance of a certificate of
occupancy by the City.
Section 4.5. Owner-Occupied Housing Affordability Covenants; Qualification of the TIF District.
The Developer agrees that the Owner-Occupied Housing constructed within the TIF District is subject to the
following affordability covenants: In accordance with Section 469.1761, subdivision 2 of the TIF Act,
ninety-five percent (95%) of the units of Owner-Occupied Housing must be initially purchased and occupied
by persons whose income is no greater than one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of median gross income. If
any units of Owner-Occupied Housing will be occupied by fewer than three (3) people, those units must be
initially purchased and occupied by persons whose income is no greater than one hundred percent (100%) of
median gross income. For the purposes of this Agreement, median gross income is the greater of (i) the
median gross income of the County; or (ii) the statewide median gross income, as determined by the secretary
of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for the calendar year of each home sale.
Prior to the initial sale of each home, the Developer must submit to the City the application in substantially
the form in EXHIBIT F attached hereto, showing that the purchaser meets the income limits under this
Section 4.6 (a “Qualified Purchaser”). The parties agree and understand that the Developer will review
15
529794v8 JAE RC125-366
applications and will certify to the City that each buyer of a unit of Owner-Occupied Housing is a Qualified
Purchaser using the form set forth in EXHIBIT F attached hereto.
Section 4.6. Disqualification of TIF District. If the Authority or the City receives notice from the
State Department of Revenue, the State Auditor, any Tax Official or any court of competent jurisdiction that
the TIF District does not qualify as a “housing district,” such event shall be deemed an Event of Default
under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Authority may not exercise any remedy under this
Agreement so long as such determination is being contested and has not been finally adjudicated. In addition
to any remedies available to the Authority and the City under Article IX hereof, the Developer shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Authority and the City for any damages or costs resulting therefrom.
Such indemnification and hold harmless will include the immediate payment to the Authority for any portion
of the value of the HRA Property not already reimbursed by the Developer of from tax increment as
described in Section 3.2(e).
Section 4.7. Affordable Housing Reporting. At least annually and until all units within the
Minimum Improvements have been sold to owner-occupants, no later than April 1 of each year commencing
on the April 1 first following the issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the Developer shall provide a
report to the Authority evidencing that the Developer complied with the income affordability covenants set
forth in Section 4.5 hereof during the previous calendar year.
Section 4.8. Disqualified Owner-Occupied Housing Units; Reduction of TIF Notes. If the
Developer sells more than four (4) units of Owner-Occupied Housing to persons who do not meet the income
restrictions set forth in Section 4.5, each such unit will be an “Ineligible Unit.” For each Ineligible Unit, the
Authority will remove the Ineligible unit from the TIF District. In addition, for each Ineligible Unit, the
Developer shall pay the Authority $7,875 to repay the Authority for the portion of the loan described in
Section 3.9 allocable to the Ineligible Unit and the principal amount of the TIF Notes will be reduced by
$30,000 for each Ineligible Unit. The reduction of the Notes shall be done on a pro rata basis based on the
amount of principal amount outstanding for each. The maximum number of Ineligible Units, including the
four (4) units of Owner-Occupied Housing described in this Section 4.8, shall be twenty percent (20%) of all
Owner-Occupied Housing units constructed.
Section 4.9. Reduction of Number of Owner-Occupied Housing Units. The Developer has agreed to
construct eighty (80) Owner-Occupied Housing units as part of the Minimum Improvements. However, due
to circumstances beyond its control, including the Developer’s inability to assemble all of the necessary real
property or to generate sufficient sales activity, the Developer may not be able to substantially complete all
eighty (80) Owner-Occupied Housing units on or before the completion date set forth in Section 4.3 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Developer agrees the Minimum Improvements will
include a minimum of sixty-four (64) Owner-Occupied Housing units. If, for any reason, the Developer fails
to substantially complete any of the 16 remaining Owner-Occupied Housing units on or before the
completion date set forth in Section 4.3 hereof, the principal amount of the Phase III TIF Note described in
Section 3.6(a) hereof will be reduced pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.6(e). Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, failure by the Developer to construct more than sixty-four (64) Owner-Occupied
Housing units as part of the Minimum Improvements will not be considered an Event of Default hereunder.

ARTICLE V
Insurance
Section 5.1. Insurance.
(a) The Developer will provide and maintain at all times during the process of constructing the
Minimum Improvements an All Risk Broad Form Basis Insurance Policy and, from time to time during that
period, at the request of the Authority, furnish the Authority with proof of payment of premiums on policies
covering the following:
(i) Builder’s risk insurance, written on the so-called “Builder’s Risk – Completed
Value Basis,” in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the insurable value of the
Minimum Improvements at the date of completion, and with coverage available in nonreporting form
on the so-called “all risk” form of policy. The interest of the Authority shall be protected in
accordance with a clause in form and content reasonably satisfactory to the Authority;
(ii) General commercial liability insurance (including operations, contingent liability,
operations of subcontractors, completed operations and contractual liability insurance) together with
a Protective Liability Policy with limits against bodily injury and property damage of not less than
$2,000,000 for each occurrence (to accomplish the above-required limits, an umbrella excess liability
policy may be used). The Authority shall be listed as an additional insured on the policy; and
(iii) Workers’ compensation insurance, with statutory coverage.
(b) Upon completion of construction of the Minimum Improvements, the Developer shall
maintain, or cause to be maintained for each unit of the Minimum Improvements owned by the Developer, at
its cost and expense, and from time to time at the request of the Authority shall furnish proof of the payment
of premiums on, insurance as follows:
(i) Insurance against loss and/or damage to the Minimum Improvements under a policy
or policies covering such risks as are ordinarily insured against by similar businesses.
(ii) Comprehensive general public liability insurance, including personal injury liability
(with employee exclusion deleted), against liability for injuries to persons and/or property, in the
minimum amount for each occurrence and for each year of $2,000,000, and shall be endorsed to
show the Authority as additional insured.
(iii) Such other insurance, including workers’ compensation insurance respecting all
employees, if any, of the Developer, in such amount as is customarily carried by like organizations
engaged in like activities of comparable size and liability exposure; provided that the Developer may
be self-insured with respect to all or any part of its liability for workers’ compensation.
(c) All insurance required in this Article V shall be taken out and maintained in responsible
insurance companies selected by the Developer which are authorized under the laws of the State to assume
the risks covered thereby. Upon request, the Developer will deposit annually with the Authority policies
evidencing all such insurance, or a certificate or certificates or binders of the respective insurers stating that
such insurance is in force and effect. Unless otherwise provided in this Article V each policy shall contain a
provision that the insurer shall not cancel nor modify it in such a way as to reduce the coverage provided
below the amounts required herein without giving written notice to the Developer at least 30 days before the
17
529794v8 JAE RC125-366
cancellation or modification becomes effective. If such a notice is received by the Developer, it will provide
notice to the Authority. In lieu of separate policies, the Developer may maintain a single policy, blanket or
umbrella policies, or a combination thereof, having the coverage required herein, in which event the
Developer shall deposit with the Authority a certificate or certificates of the respective insurers as to the
amount of coverage in force upon the Minimum Improvements.
(d) For the portion of the Minimum Improvements that the Developer owns, the Developer
agrees to notify the Authority immediately in the case of damage exceeding $100,000 in amount to, or
destruction of, the Minimum Improvements or any portion thereof resulting from fire or other casualty. In
such event the Developer will forthwith repair, reconstruct and restore the Minimum Improvements to
substantially the same or an improved condition or value as it existed prior to the event causing such damage
and, to the extent necessary to accomplish such repair, reconstruction and restoration, the Developer will
apply the Net Proceeds of any insurance relating to such damage received by the Developer to the payment or
reimbursement of the costs thereof. The Developer has no duty to repair, reconstruct, or restore any portion
of the Minimum Improvements that is not owned by it.
The Developer shall complete the repair, reconstruction and restoration of the portion of the
Minimum Improvements owned by the Developer, whether or not the Net Proceeds of insurance received by
the Developer for such purposes are sufficient to pay for the same. Any Net Proceeds remaining after
completion of such repairs, construction and restoration shall be the property of the Developer.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of
damage to the Minimum Improvements in excess of $100,000 and the Developer fails to complete any repair,
reconstruction or restoration of the Minimum Improvements it owns within 18 months from the date of
damage, the Authority may, at its option, terminate the TIF Notes as provided in Section 9.3(b) hereof. If the
Authority terminates the TIF Notes, such termination shall constitute the Authority’s sole remedy under this
Agreement as a result of the Developer’s failure to repair, reconstruct or restore the Minimum Improvements.
Thereafter, the Authority shall have no further obligations to make any payments under the TIF Notes.
(f) The Developer and the Authority agree that all of the insurance provisions set forth in this
Article V shall terminate upon (i) the date on which any unit within the Owner-Occupied Housing is sold to a
member of the general public; and (ii), in the case of a rental, the termination of this Agreement.
Section 5.2. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article V,
the rights of the Authority with respect to the receipt and application of any proceeds of insurance shall, in all
respects, be subject and subordinate to the rights of any lender under a Mortgage approved pursuant to
Article VII of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI
Tax Increment; Taxes
Section 6.1. Right to Collect Delinquent Taxes. The Developer acknowledges that the Authority is
providing substantial aid and assistance in furtherance of the redevelopment through issuance of the TIF
Notes. The Developer understands that the Tax Increments pledged to payment of the TIF Notes are derived
from real estate taxes on the Development Property, which taxes must be promptly and timely paid. To that
end, the Developer agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, in addition to the obligation pursuant to statute
to pay real estate taxes, that it is also obligated by reason of this Agreement to pay before delinquency all real
estate taxes assessed against the Development Property and the Minimum Improvements until the Maturity
Date. The Developer acknowledges that this obligation creates a contractual right on behalf of the Authority
to sue the Developer or its successors and assigns to collect delinquent real estate taxes and any penalty or
interest thereon and to pay over the same as a tax payment to the county auditor. In any such suit, the
Authority shall also be entitled to recover its costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney fees.
Section 6.2. Reduction of Taxes. The Developer agrees that after the date of certification of the Tax
Increment District and prior to completion of the Minimum Improvements, it will not cause a reduction in the
real property taxes paid in respect of the Development Property through: (A) willful destruction of the
Development Property or any part thereof (except for the demolition of structures required for construction of
the Minimum Improvements); or (B) willful refusal to reconstruct damaged or destroyed property pursuant to
Section 5.1 of this Agreement.
The Developer also agrees that it will not, during the period of time that it owns any portion of the
Minimum Improvements: (i) seek exemption from property tax for the Development Property; or (ii) convey
or transfer or allow conveyance or transfer of the Development Property to any entity that is exempt from
payment of real property taxes under State law.
Section 6.3. Suspension or Reduction of Payments on TIF Notes. The Developer or any owner of an
Owner-Occupied Housing unit may seek through petition or other means to have the County Assessor’s
estimated market value for all or a portion of the Development Property reduced. Upon receiving notice or
otherwise learning of the intent to seek a decrease in the market value of the Development Property, the
Authority may suspend or reduce payments due under the TIF Notes until the actual amount of the reduction
is determined, whereupon the Authority will make the suspended or reduced payments less any amount that
the Authority is required to repay the County as a result of any reduction in market value of the Development
Property. During the period that the payments are subject to suspension or reduction, the Authority may
make partial payments on the TIF Notes if it determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the amount
retained will be sufficient to cover any repayment which the County may require.
The Authority’s suspension or reduction of payments on one or both of the TIF Notes pursuant to
this Section shall not be considered a default under Section 9.1 hereof.
Section 6.4. Qualifications. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties
acknowledge and agree that upon Transfer of the Development Property to another person or entity, the
Developer will remain obligated under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof until the Maturity Date, unless the
Developer is released from such obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 8.2(b) or
8.3 hereof. Sections 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 shall not be applicable to individual units of Owner-Occupied housing
once each individual unit of Owner-Occupied Housing is old to a member of the general public.
19
529794v8 JAE RC125-366
ARTICLE VII
Financing
Section 7.1. Mortgage Financing.
(a) Before commencement of construction of the Minimum Improvements, the Developer shall
submit to the Authority evidence of one or more commitments for financing which, together with committed
equity for such construction, is sufficient for payment of the Minimum Improvements. Such commitments
may be submitted as short-term financing, long-term mortgage financing, a bridge loan with a long-term
take-out financing commitment, or any combination of the foregoing.
(b) If the Authority finds that the financing is sufficiently committed and adequate in amount to
pay the costs specified in paragraph (a) then the Authority shall notify the Developer in writing of its
approval. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and either approval or rejection shall be given
within 30 days from the date when the Authority is provided the evidence of financing. A failure by the
Authority to respond to such evidence of financing shall be deemed to constitute an approval hereunder. If
the Authority rejects the evidence of financing as inadequate, it shall do so in writing specifying the basis for
the rejection. In any event the Developer shall submit adequate evidence of financing within 30 days after
such rejection.
Section 7.2. Authority’s Option to Cure Default in Mortgage. In the event that any portion of the
Developer’s funds is provided through mortgage financing, and there occurs a default under any Mortgage
authorized pursuant to this Article VII, the Developer shall cause the Authority to receive copies of any
notice of default received by the Developer from the holder of such Mortgage. Thereafter, the Authority shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such default on behalf of the Developer within such cure
periods as are available to the Developer under the Mortgage documents.
Section 7.3. Modification; Subordination. In order to facilitate the Developer obtaining financing
for the development of the Minimum Improvements, the Authority agrees to subordinate its rights under this
Agreement to the Holder of any Mortgage securing construction, acquisition, or permanent financing, under
terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Authority and the entity requesting the subordination. An
agreement to subordinate this Agreement must be approved by the Board of the Authority. Upon request, the
Authority will provide an estoppel certificate affirming factual matters related to this Agreement.
Section 7.4. Termination. All the provisions of this Article VII (except the provisions of
Section 7.3) shall terminate with respect to the Minimum Improvements, upon delivery of the Certificate of
Completion for the Minimum Improvements. The Developer or any successor in interest to the Minimum
Improvements or portion thereof, may sell or engage in financing or any other transaction creating a
mortgage or encumbrance or lien on the Minimum Improvements or any portion thereof for which a
Certificate of Completion has been obtained, without obtaining prior written approval of the Authority as
described in Section 7.1, provided that such sale, financing or other transaction creating a mortgage or
encumbrance shall not be deemed as resulting in any subordination of the Authority’s rights under this
Agreement unless the Authority expressly consents to such a subordination pursuant to Section 7.3.
Subordination agreements approved by the Authority prior to the Certificate of Completion will not be
affected by the provisions of this Section.

529794v8 JAE RC125-366
ARTICLE VIII
Prohibitions Against Assignment and Transfer; Indemnification
Section 8.1. Representation as to Development. The Developer represents and agrees that its
purchase of the Development Property, and its other undertakings pursuant to the Agreement, are, and will be
used, for the purpose of development of the Development Property and not for speculation in land holding.
Section 8.2. Prohibition Against Developer’s Transfer of Property and Assignment of Agreement.
The Developer represents and agrees that prior to issuance of the Certificate of Completion for the Minimum
Improvements:
(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 Development Property, or any part
thereof, to perform its obligations with respect to constructing the Minimum Improvements under this
Agreement, and any other purpose authorized by this Agreement, the Developer has not made or created and
will not make or create or suffer to be made or created any total or partial sale, assignment, conveyance, or
lease, or any trust or power, or transfer in any other mode or form of or with respect to the Agreement or the
Development Property or any part thereof or any interest therein, or any contract or agreement to do any of
the same (except a lease to a residential occupant), without the prior written approval of the Authority unless
the Developer remains liable and bound by this Agreement in which event the Authority’s approval is not
required. Any such transfer shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, the Developer
must provide the Authority with prior notice of a sale of the Minimum Improvements pursuant to Section 4.5
hereof.
(b) In the event the Developer, upon transfer or assignment of all or any portion of the
Development Property seeks to be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Authority shall be
entitled to require, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, as conditions to any such release that:
(i) Any proposed transferee shall have the qualifications and financial responsibility, in
the reasonable judgment of the Authority, necessary and adequate to fulfill the obligations
undertaken in this Agreement by the Developer.
(ii) Any proposed transferee, by instrument in writing satisfactory to the Authority and
in form recordable among the land records, shall, for itself and its successors and assigns, and
expressly for the benefit of the Authority, have expressly assumed all of the obligations of the
Developer under this Agreement and agreed to be subject to all the conditions and restrictions to
which the Developer is subject; provided, however, that the fact that any transferee of, or any other
successor in interest whatsoever to, the Development Property, or any part thereof, shall not, for
whatever reason, have assumed such obligations or so agreed, and shall not (unless and only to the
extent otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or agreed to in writing by the Authority)
deprive the Authority of any rights or remedies or controls with respect to the Development Property
or any part thereof or the construction of the Minimum Improvements; it being the intent of the
parties as expressed in this Agreement that (to the fullest extent permitted at law and in equity and
excepting only in the manner and to the extent specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement) no
transfer of, or change with respect to, ownership in the Development Property or any part thereof, or
any interest therein, however consummated or occurring, and whether voluntary or involuntary, shall
operate, legally or practically, to deprive or limit the Authority of or with respect to any rights or
remedies on controls provided in or resulting from this Agreement with respect to the Minimum
Improvements that the Authority would have had, had there been no such transfer or change. In the
21
529794v8 JAE RC125-366
absence of specific written agreement by the Authority to the contrary, no such transfer or approval
by the Authority thereof shall be deemed to relieve the Developer or any other party bound in any
way by this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the construction of the Minimum Improvements,
from any of its obligations with respect thereto.
(iii) Any and all instruments and other legal documents involved in effecting the transfer
of any interest in this Agreement or the Development Property governed by this Article VIII, shall be
in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Authority.
In the event the foregoing conditions are satisfied then the Developer shall be released from its obligation
under this Agreement.
(c) The prohibition against transfer shall not be applicable to the sale of individual units of
Owner-Occupied Housing to the general public.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, after issuance of the Certificate of
Completion for the Minimum Improvements, the Developer may, without the Authority’s consent, transfer or
assign the Development Property related to the completed Minimum Improvements or the Developer’s
interest in this Agreement related to the completed Minimum Improvements and the transferee or assignee is
bound by all the Developer’s remaining obligations hereunder with respect to the Minimum Improvements.
The Developer shall submit to the Authority written evidence of any such transfer or assignment, including
the transferee or assignee’s express assumption of the Developer’s obligations under this Agreement. Upon
receipt by the Authority of such written evidence of transfer or assignment, the Developer shall be released
from all of its remaining obligations under this Agreement. If the Developer fails to provide such evidence of
transfer and assumption, the Developer shall remain bound by all its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 8.3. Release and Indemnification Covenants.
(a) The Developer releases from and covenants and agrees that the Authority and its governing
body members, officers, agents, servants and employees thereof shall not be liable for and agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Authority and its respective governing body members, officers, agents,
servants and employees thereof against any loss or damage to property or any injury to or death of any person
occurring at or about or resulting from any defect in the Minimum Improvements.
(b) Except for any willful misrepresentation, gross negligence or any willful or wanton
misconduct of the Authority, or its board members, officers, agents or employees, the Developer agrees to
protect and defend the Authority and its governing body members, officers, agents, servants and employees
thereof, now or forever, and further agrees to hold the aforesaid harmless from any claim, demand, suit,
action or other proceeding whatsoever by any person or entity whatsoever arising or purportedly arising from
this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or the acquisition, construction, installation,
ownership, maintenance and operation of the Minimum Improvements; provided, however, this provision
will not apply to any claims arising from or related to the ownership, use, or enjoyment of any unit of Owner-
Occupied Housing after the Developer sells such unit to a member of the general public. As to any willful
misrepresentation, gross negligence or any willful or wanton misconduct of the Authority, or its board
members, officers, agents or employees, the Authority agrees to protect and defend the Developer, its
officers, agents, servants and employees and hold the same harmless from any such proceedings.
(c) The Authority and its governing body members, officers, agents, servants and employees
thereof shall not be liable for any damage or injury to the persons or property of the Developer or its officers,
agents, servants or employees or any other person who may be about the Development Property or Minimum
Improvements due to any act of negligence of any person.
22
529794v8 JAE RC125-366
(d) All covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of the Authority contained
herein shall be deemed to be the covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of the
Authority and not of any governing body member, officer, agent, servant or employee of the Authority in the
individual capacity thereof.

the term “Event of Default” means, whenever it is used in this Agreement, any one or more of the following
events, after the non-defaulting party provides 30 days’ written notice to the defaulting party of the event, but
only if the event has not been cured within said 30 days or, if the event is by its nature incurable within 30
days, the defaulting party does not, within the 30-day period, provide assurances reasonably satisfactory to
the party providing notice of default that the event will be cured and will be cured as soon as reasonably

forth in Section 4.3 hereof.
Section 9.2. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default referred to in Section 9.1 of this
Agreement occurs and is continuing, the non-defaulting party may exercise its rights under this Section 9.2
after providing 30 days’ written notice to the defaulting party of the Event of Default, but only if the Event of
Default has not been cured within said 30 days or, if the Event of Default is by its nature incurable within 30
days, the defaulting party does not provide assurances reasonably satisfactory to the non-defaulting party that
the Event of Default will be cured and will be cured as soon as reasonably possible:

(d) Take whatever action, including legal, equitable or administrative action, which may appear
necessary or desirable to collect any payments due under this Agreement, or to enforce performance and
observance of any obligation, agreement, or covenant under this Agreement.
Section 9.3. Termination or Suspension of TIF Notes. After the Authority has issued a TIF Note
attributable to any Phase of the Minimum Improvements, the Authority may exercise its rights under
Section 9.2 for such TIF Note only for the following Events of Default:
(a) the Developer fails to pay real estate taxes or assessments for the portion of the
Development Property on which such Phase is constructed, or any part thereof (excluding, however, any
portion of such Development Property on which an Owner-Occupied Housing unit that has been sold to a
member of the general public is located), when due, and such taxes or assessments shall not have been paid,
or provision satisfactory to the Authority made for such payment, within 18 months after written demand by
the Authority to do so; or
(b) the Developer fails to comply with Developer’s obligation to operate and maintain, to
preserve and to keep the portion of the Minimum Improvements constructed within such Phase or cause the
portion of the Minimum Improvements within such Phase to be maintained, preserved and kept with the
appurtenances and every part and parcel thereof, in good repair and condition, pursuant to Sections 4.1 and
5.1; provided that, upon such a failure by the Developer to comply with its obligations under Section 4.1 or
5.1, if uncured after 30 days’ written notice to the Developer of such failure, the Authority may only suspend
payments under the TIF Note attributable to such Phase until such time as the Developer complies with said
obligations. If the Developer fails to comply with said obligations for a period of 18 months, the Authority
may terminate the respective TIF Note.
Section 9.4. Revesting Title in Authority Upon Happening of Event Subsequent to Conveyance to
Developer. In the event that subsequent to conveyance of the HRA Property to the Developer, the Developer,
subject to Unavoidable Delays, fails to commence construction of the Minimum Improvements by the date
specified in Section 4.3 hereof, and such failure to commence the Minimum Improvements is not cured
within 90 days after written notice from the Authority to the Developer to do so; then the Authority shall have
the right to re-enter and take possession of the HRA Property and to terminate and revest in the Authority the
HRA Property, it being the intent of this provision, together with other provisions of the Agreement, that the
conveyance of the HRA Property to the Developer shall be made upon, and that the deeds shall contain a
condition subsequent to the effect that in the event of any default on the part of the Developer in performance
of the obligations specified in this Section 9.4 and failure on the part of the Developer to remedy, end, or
abrogate such default within the period and in the manner stated in this Section, the Authority at its option
may declare a termination in favor of the Authority of the title, and of all the rights and interests in and to the
HRA Property and that such title and all rights and interests of the Developer, and any assigns or successors
in interest to and in the HRA Property, shall revert to the Authority, as applicable, but only if the events stated
in this Section have not been cured within the time periods provided above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Authority determines to exercise its rights to revest title to the
HRA Property after the Developer has platted the Development Property, the Developer and the Authority
agree that the Developer will be obligated to only convey to the Authority 20,000 square feet of the
Development Property that is contiguous, subject to any easements or similar rights granted or created in
connection with the Apartments Project, and the Developer will not be required to convey to the Authority
the HRA Property in the form it was originally conveyed to Developer. Sections 9.4 and 9.5 shall apply to
the 20,000 square feet of the Development Property conveyed to the Authority as if such property was the
HRA Property.
25
529794v8 JAE RC125-366
Section 9.5. Resale of Reacquired Property; Disposition of Proceeds. Upon the revesting in the
Authority of title to and/or possession of the HRA Property, the Authority shall, pursuant to their
responsibilities under law, use their best efforts to sell the HRA Property and in such manner as the Authority
to a qualified and responsible party or parties (as determined by the Authority) who will assume the
obligation of making or completing the Minimum Improvements or such other improvements in their stead as
shall be satisfactory to the Authority in accordance with the uses specified for the HRA Property in this
Agreement. During any time while the Authority has title to and/or possession of a parcel of property
obtained by reverter, the Authority will not disturb the rights of any tenants under any leases encumbering
such parcel. Upon resale of the HRA Property, the proceeds thereof shall be applied:
(a) First, to reimburse the Authority for all costs and expenses incurred by them, including but
not limited to salaries of personnel, in connection with the recapture, management, and resale of the HRA
Property (but less any income derived by the Authority from the property or part thereof in connection with
such management); all taxes, assessments, and water and sewer charges with respect to the HRA Property or
part thereof (or, in the event the HRA Property is exempt from taxation or assessment or such charge during
the period of ownership thereof by the Authority, an amount, if paid, equal to such taxes, assessments, or
charges (as determined by the Authority assessing official) as would have been payable if the HRA Property
were not so exempt); any payments made or necessary to be made to discharge any encumbrances or liens
existing on the HRA Property, or part thereof at the time of revesting of title thereto in the Authority, or to
discharge or prevent from attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens due to obligations,
defaults or acts of the Developer, its successors or transferees; any expenditures made or obligations incurred
with respect to the making or completion of the subject improvements or any part thereof on the HRA
Property; and any amounts otherwise owing the Authority by the Developer and its successor or transferee;
and
(b) Second, to reimburse the Developer, its successor or transferee, up to the amount equal to
the portion of the HRA Property Purchase Price paid by the Developer under Section 3.2 and the amount
actually invested by it in making any of the subject improvements on the HRA Property or part thereof, less
any gains or income withdrawn or made by it from the Agreement or the HRA Property.
Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by the Authority as its property.
Section 9.6. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Authority
or the Developer is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every
such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement
or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or
power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver
thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. In order to entitle the Authority to exercise any remedy reserved to it, it shall not be necessary to
give notice, other than the notices already required in Sections 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.9, or as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement.
Section 9.7. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any agreement contained
in this Agreement should be breached by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver
shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other concurrent,
previous or subsequent breach hereunder.
Section 9.8. Attorney Fees and Costs. Whenever any Event of Default occurs and if the Authority
employs attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of payments due or to become due or for the
enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the Developer under
this Agreement, and the Authority prevails in the action, the Developer agrees that it will, within ten days of
26
529794v8 JAE RC125-366
written demand by the Authority, pay to the Authority the reasonable fees of the attorneys and the other
expenses so incurred by the Authority.
Section 9.9. Right of Purchase and Right of First Refusal Agreement. Following the conveyance of
the HRA Property to the Developer, if the Developer, subject to Unavoidable Delays, fails to commence
construction of the Minimum Improvements by the date specified in Section 4.3 hereof, and such failure to
commence is not cured within 90 days after written notice from the Authority to the Developer to do so, then
the Authority shall have the right to repurchase the HRA Property for the price the Developer paid for the
HRA Property (the HRA Property Purchase Price) or purchase all of the Development Property from the
Developer for the price the Developer paid for the Developer Property. In addition, prior to the issuance of a
Certificate of Completion for of the Minimum Improvements, if the Developer determines to sell all or any
part of the Development Property within the Minimum Improvements, the Authority shall have the right to
purchase the portion of the Development Property to be sold to a third party by the Developer for the lower of
(i) the price the third party has agreed to pay for such property or (ii) the price the Developer paid for such
property, including relocation benefits. To memorialize the Authority’s right of purchase and right of first
refusal, the Developer and the Authority shall enter into a Right of Purchase and Right of First Refusal
Agreement in substantially the form set forth in EXHIBIT E, which shall be recorded against the
Development Property acquired by the Developer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Authority determines to exercise its rights to repurchase the
HRA Property after the Developer has platted the Development Property, the Developer and the Authority
agree that the Developer will be obligated to only convey to the Authority 20,000 square feet of the

TAX INCREMENT LIMITED REVENUE NOTE
SERIES ________
Date
Rate of Original Issue
__________% __________
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Richfield, Minnesota (the
“Authority”), for value received, certifies that it is indebted and hereby promises to pay to Cedar Point
Investments LLC, or registered assigns (the “Owner”), the principal sum of $__________ and to pay interest
thereon at the rate of _____________ percent per annum, as and to the extent set forth herein.
1. Payments. Principal and interest (“Payments”) shall be paid on August 1, 2021, and each
February 1 and August 1 (each a “Payment Date”) and thereafter to and including February 1, 20___, in the
amounts and from the sources set forth in Section 3 herein. Payments shall be applied first to accrued
interest, and then to unpaid principal.
Payments are payable by mail to the address of the Owner or such other address as the Owner may
designate upon 30 days’ written notice to the Authority. Payments on this Note are payable in any coin or
currency of the United States of America which, on the Payment Date, is legal tender for the payment of
public and private debts.
2. Interest. Interest at the rate stated herein shall accrue on the unpaid principal, commencing
on the date of original issue. Interest shall accrue on a simple basis and will not be added to principal.
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and charged for actual days principal is unpaid.
3. Available Tax Increment. Subject to the provisions of Section 10 below, payments on this
Note are payable on each Payment Date in the amount of and solely payable from “Available Tax
Increment,” which will mean, on each Payment Date, seventy percent (70%) of the Tax Increment (as defined
in the Agreement) attributable to the Development Property (as defined in the Agreement) and paid to the
Authority by Hennepin County in the six months preceding the Payment Date, all as the terms are defined in
the Contract for Private Development, dated __________, 2018 (the “Agreement”), between the Authority
and Owner. The principal of and interest on this Note shall be payable each Payment Date solely from
Available Tax Increment. Available Tax Increment will not include any Tax Increment if, as of any Payment
Date, there is an uncured Event of Default under the Agreement.
B-2
529794v8 JAE RC125-366
The Authority shall have no obligation to pay principal of and interest on this Note on each Payment
Date from any source other than Available Tax Increment, and the failure of the Authority to pay the entire
amount of principal or interest on this Note on any Payment Date shall not constitute a default hereunder as
long as the Authority pays principal and interest hereon to the extent of Available Tax Increment. The
Authority shall have no obligation to pay unpaid balance of principal or accrued interest that may remain
after the payment of Available Tax Increment from the last payment of Tax Increment the Authority is
entitled to receive from Hennepin County with respect to the Development Property.
4. Optional Prepayment. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under this Note is
prepayable in whole or in part at any time by the Authority without premium or penalty. No partial
prepayment shall affect the amount or timing of any other regular payment otherwise required to be made
under this Note.
5. Termination. At the Authority’s option, this Note shall terminate and the Authority’s
obligation to make any payments under this Note shall be discharged upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default on the part of the Developer as defined in Section 9.1 of the Agreement, but only if the Event of
Default has not been cured within the applicable time periods provided in the Agreement and the Authority
has the right to terminate the Note under Sections 9.2 and 9.3 of the Agreement.
6. Nature of Obligation. This Note is issued to aid in financing certain public development
costs and administrative costs of a housing project undertaken by the Authority pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Sections 469.001 through 469.047, as amended, and is issued pursuant to an authorizing resolution
(the “Resolution”) duly adopted by the Authority on ______________, 2018, and pursuant to and in full
conformity with the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota, including Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 469.174 through 469.1794, as amended. This Note is a limited obligation of the Authority which is
payable solely from Available Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof under the Resolution. This Note
and the interest hereon shall not be deemed to constitute a general obligation of the State of Minnesota or any
political subdivision thereof, including, without limitation, the Authority. Neither the State of Minnesota, nor
any political subdivision thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on this Note or other
costs incident hereto except out of Available Tax Increment, and neither the full faith and credit nor the
taxing power of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the
principal of or interest on this Note or other costs incident hereto.
7. Estimated Tax Increment Payments. Any estimates of Tax Increment prepared by the
Authority or its financial advisors in connection with the TIF District or the Agreement are for the benefit of
the Authority, and are not intended as representations on which the Developer may rely.
THE AUTHORITY MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE
AVAILABLE TAX INCREMENT WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL OF AND
INTEREST ON THIS NOTE.
8. Registration. This Note is issuable only as a fully registered note without coupons.
9. Transfer. As provided in the Resolution, and subject to certain limitations set forth therein,
this Note is transferable upon the books of the Authority kept for that purpose at the principal office of the
City Clerk of the City of Richfield. Upon surrender for transfer of the TIF Note, including any assignment or
exchange thereof, duly endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by
an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, and the payment by the Owner of any tax, fee,
or governmental charge required to be paid by or to the Authority with respect to such transfer or exchange,
B-3
529794v8 JAE RC125-366
the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, a new
Note of the same aggregate principal amount, bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same
dates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the TIF Note shall not be transferred to any person other than an
affiliate, or other related entity, of the Owner unless the Authority has been provided with an investment letter
in a form substantially similar to the investment letter in EXHIBIT C of the Agreement or a certificate of the
transferor, in a form satisfactory to the Executive Director of the Authority, that such transfer is exempt from
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of federal and applicable state securities laws. The
Registrar may close the books for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding
each Payment Date and until such Payment Date.
The Owner may assign the TIF Note to a lender that provides all or part of the financing for the
acquisition of the Development Property or the construction of the Minimum Improvements. The Authority
hereby consents to such assignment, conditioned upon receipt of an investment letter from such lender in
substantially the form attached in the Agreement as EXHIBIT C, or other form reasonably acceptable to the
Executive Director of the Authority. The Authority also agrees that future assignments of the TIF Note may
be approved by the Executive Director of the Authority without action of the Authority’s Board, upon the
receipt of an investment letter in substantially the form of EXHIBIT C of the Agreement or other investment
letter reasonably acceptable to the Authority from such assignees.
This Note is issued pursuant to a resolution of the Board of the Authority and is entitled to the
benefits thereof, which Resolution is incorporated herein by reference.
10. Parity Obligation. This Note is one of three TIF Notes issued in the total principal amount
of $2,400,000 and on a parity basis. When more than one TIF Note is outstanding, the principal of and
interest on this Note shall be paid with Available Tax Increment on a parity basis based on the amount of
principal outstanding for each TIF Note.
11. Principal Reduction. The principal of this Note is subject to reduction pursuant to the
provisions of Section 4.8 of the Agreement.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that all acts, conditions, and things required by the
Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done, to exist, to happen, and to be performed in order
to make this Note a valid and binding limited obligation of the Authority according to its terms, have been
done, do exist, have happened, and have been performed in due form, time and manner as so required.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Board of Commissioners of the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority in and for the City of Richfield, Minnesota, has caused this Note to be executed with the manual
signatures of its Chair and Executive Director, all as of the Date of Original Issue specified above.

RIGHT OF PURCHASE AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT
THIS RIGHT OF PURCHASE AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”) is given as of this ___ day of ____________, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), by CEDAR POINT
INVESTMENTS LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (the “Developer”), to the HOUSING AND
REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY IN AND FOR THE CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA, a public
body corporate and politic under the laws of the State of Minnesota (the “Authority”).
1. Contract for Private Development. The Developer and the Authority have entered into a Contract for
Private Development, dated __________, 2018 (the “Contract”), pursuant to which the Authority will convey
certain real property to the Developer as legally described in SCHEDULE A (the “HRA Property”) and the
Developer will obtain certain parcels adjacent to the HRA Property as legally described in SCHEDULE B
(the “Developer Property”). Pursuant to the Contract, the Developer has agreed to construct on the HRA
Property and the Developer Property (together, the “Development Property”) the Minimum Improvements
(as defined in the Contract). All terms capitalized herein and not defined herein shall have the meaning given
such term in the Contract.
2. Grant. For valuable consideration, and subject to the conditions set forth below, the Developer
hereby grants to the Authority the right to purchase and the right of first refusal pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement.
3. Right to Purchase. Following the conveyance of the HRA Property to the Developer, if the
Developer, subject to Unavoidable Delays, fails to commence construction of the Minimum Improvements
by the date specified in Section 4.3 of the Contract, and such failure to commence is not cured within 90 days
after written notice from the Authority to the Developer to do so, then the Authority shall have the right to
repurchase the HRA Property for the price the Developer paid for the HRA Property or purchase all of the
HRA Property and the Developer Property from the Developer for the price the Developer paid for such
property. The Authority shall have 60 days following the 90-day cure period set forth in this Section to notify
the Developer of its intent to repurchase the HRA Property or purchase all of the HRA Property and the
Developer Property. The Authority shall have 120 days to complete the purchase of the HRA Property and,
if applicable, the Developer Property.
4. Right of First Refusal. Prior to the receipt of a Certificate of Completion for each Phase of the
Minimum Improvements, if the Developer determines to sell all or any part of the HRA Property and the
Developer Property, the Authority shall have the right to purchase the portion of the Development Property to
be sold to a third party by the Developer for the lower of (i) the price the third party has agreed to pay for
such property or (ii) the price the Developer paid for such property (including the costs of any improvements
to the property).
a. Notice of Acceptable Offer. If at any time prior to the receipt of a Certificate of Completion
for each Phase of the Minimum Improvements, the Developer receives an offer acceptable to the
Developer for the purchase of all or any part of the HRA Property or the Developer Property, then
the Developer shall forthwith forward a copy of such offer (the “Acceptable Offer”) to the Authority.
b. Exercise by Authority. The Authority shall have a period of 30 days after receiving such
copy of the Acceptable Offer within which to notify the Developer that the Authority elects to
purchase the Property (or the portion thereof covered by the Acceptable Offer) (the “Sale Property”)
on the terms contained therein. Any such notice from the Authority shall be accompanied by any
529794v8 JAE RC125-366 E-2
earnest money required under the terms of the Acceptable Offer, which shall then constitute a
contract between the Developer and the Authority even though neither has signed it.
c. Waiver by Authority. If the Authority does not notify the Developer within the 30-day
period described in Section 6 of the Authority’s election to purchase such Sale Property, the
Developer shall be free to sell such Sale Property to the person who submitted the Acceptable Offer
(or to such person’s permitted assigns) on the terms specified therein, and the Authority shall upon
request execute and deliver an instrument in recordable form appropriate to evidence the Authority’s
relinquishment of its rights under this Agreement with respect to such transaction. Notwithstanding
any such relinquishment, the Authority’s rights under this Agreement shall remain in effect with
respect to any part of the Property not covered by the Acceptable Offer, and, if the transaction
contemplated by the Acceptable Offer fails for any reason to close, with respect to any subsequent
offer to purchase all or any part of the Property covered by such Acceptable Offer.
5. Contract Restrictions on Transfer of Property. If the Authority determines to waive or is deemed to
have waived its right to purchase the Sale Property pursuant to Section 4(c), the Developer remains obligated
to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 8.2 of the Contract related to transfers of the
Development Property and the assignment of the Contract.
6. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and terminate on the earlier of: (i) for
each Phase of the Minimum Improvements, the date the Developer obtains a Certificate of Completion for
such Phase; and (ii) upon sale of all of the HRA Property and the Developer Property pursuant to the terms of
an Acceptable Offer for which the Authority has been provided notice and has not exercised its right to
purchase such property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
for any portion of the HRA Property or the Developer Property that is sold pursuant to an Acceptable Offer,
this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such portion of HRA Property or the Developer Property at the
end of the 30-day period described in Section 4 if the Authority does not notify the Developer of its election
to purchase such portion of the Property. For any portion of the HRA Property or the Developer Property for
which the Developer has received a Certificate of Completion for the Minimum Improvements to be
constructed thereon, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such portion of HRA Property or the
Developer Property on the date of receipt of the Certificate of Completion.
7. Impact of Platting of Development Property. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the
Authority determines to exercise its rights under Sections 3 or 4 of this Agreement after the Developer has
platted the Development Property, the Developer and the Authority agree that the Developer will be obligated
to only convey to the Authority 20,000 square feet of the Development Property that is contiguous, subject to
any easements or similar rights granted or created in connection with the Apartments Project, and the
Developer will not be required to convey to the Authority the HRA Property in the form it was originally
conveyed to Developer. Sections 3 and 4 shall apply to the 20,000 square feet of the Development Property
conveyed to the Authority as if such property was the HRA Property.
8. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed given upon personal delivery or on the second business day after mailing by registered or

Consideration of a request for a subordination of a Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Transformation Program loan at 6331 Blaisdell Avenue South.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
Kevin and Kelly Larson (Homeowners), owners of 6331 Blaisdell Avenue South, received a $15,000
Transformation Loan from the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) on February 18, 2004. The
Homeowners are seeking to refinance their first mortgage and are requesting a subordination of the HRA lien.
The HRA’s lien is a 30-y ear, forgivable, zero-interest loan that is c urrently in second position behind a
primary mortgage. There is also a Home Equity Line of Credit (HE L OC) that is in third position. The
Homeowners are proposing to c onsolidate their Home Equity Line of Credit (HE L OC) as well as other credit
card debt into the first mortgage. The HE L OC and credit c ard debt being c onsolidated totals $79,347. The
HRA’s lien would be in sec ond position behind a new, 30-year primary mortgage of $260,000. Consolidating
these debts would lower the Homeowner's monthly payments, resulting in a savings of $1,324 each month.
The subordination request fails to meet the HRA's Subordination Policy in two areas:
The amount of equity or cash being removed to cover the HE L OC and c redit card debt is $79,347,
which exceeds the allowable amount of $2,000 for non-housing-related expenses. W hile a portion of
the Homeowner's debt went towards home improvements, most of it was not housing-related.
The amount of debt in front of the HRA lien is increasing 54 percent, which exc eeds the allowable
amount of 50 percent.
The HRA's Subordination Polic y does allow the Executive D irec tor to make some administrative exc eptions to
both the c ash-out and debt inc rease provisions under c ertain conditions; however, the subordination request
does not meet the criteria for an administrative exception, so the subordination request was denied.
The Homeowners are appealing the denial and have asked that their request be brought to the HRA for
consideration. They are seeking to improve their financial situation with the refinanc e and believe the
circumstances that led to the debt warrant special consideration. The debts were incurred over the years due
to costs associated with the care of their two children with special needs. Costs associated with therapy
copay, special diets and handic ap-ac cessible vehicles have been reduc ed as the children have gotten older.
Now the household is attempting to gain their financial footing and move forward with delayed maintenanc e to
the home, inc luding painting and air c onditioning. Given these unique hardship c ircumstanc es and the fact
that the debt c onsolidation will improve the Homeowners' monthly financial situation, staff rec ommends that the
HRA approve the appeal request.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
By motion: Approve the request for a subordination of a Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Transformation Program loan at 6331 Blaisdell Avenue South.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT I O N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON T E X T
I n 2004, the Homeowners received a Transformation Home Loan for $15,000 to complete a
second-story addition on their home.
They have two children with special needs, which have required significant resources, and have
required one of the parents to stay home as a full-time caregiver.
Approximately $10,000 of the debt being consolidated is related to the home improvements related
to the Transformation Home Loan.
I n 2014, the HRA agreed to subordinate for a refinance of the principal mortgage. The principal
mortgage amount at that time was $192,000.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
According to the HRA Subordination and Satisfaction Policy (Policy), the HRA will subordinate its
mortgage interest if the following conditions are met:
Loan to Value: The total debt secured by the property, including the HRA lien and all superior
mortgages, shall not exceed 80 percent of the documented market value of the property. A staff-
authorized administrative exception of the Policy can be granted if the new mortgage improves
homeowner's ability to make monthly payments and avoid financial hardship.
Superior Debt: The overall value of superior debt must not be increased by more than 50 percent.
Closing Costs: Closing costs do not exceed three percent.
Financial Means: Payment terms are within the financial means of the borrower.
Equity Removal: Equity being removed must be no more than $2,000 or must be for qualified
home improvements.
Property Taxes: Property taxes must be current.
Prior Subordinations: No more than one subordination has been granted to the loan within the
past five years.
The Executive Director may make an administrative exception when the Loan to Value exceeds 80
percent if the new mortgage improves the homeowner ’s ability to make monthly payments and
avoid foreclosure and/or financial hardship.
The Executive Director may make an administrative exception to cash being removed for
something other than home improvements in an amount up to $15,000.
The Executive Director may make an administrative exception to the amount of superior debt
increasing if sufficient equity is present and/or if a home improvement project is being financed.
Subordination requests that don't meet either the standard or the administrative exception
requirements may appeal the decision to the HRA.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
The Homeowners are planning to use their monthly savings from the debt consolidation towards
repainting their house and other home improvements. I f the HRA does not subordinate then they
would need to delay these projects.
The Homeowners are hoping to move quickly in order to lock in the interest rate on their
refinance.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
Consolidating the H EL OC and credit card debts into the primary mortgage will result in
the Homeowners saving $1,324 per month due to the lower interest rate.
W ithout the subordination granted, the homeowners will continue to pay approximately $500 per
month in credit card debt.
The current appraised value of the property is $325,000.
There would be no direct costs to the HRA and the term of the mortgage would not be extended.

Dear HRA Board,
I would like you to consider subordinating our $15,000 remodeling loan. We are refinancing
our house to be able to consolidate our debt. When we completed the remodel project,
approximately $10,000 of our debt had to cover the overage that we were not able to get in the
mortgage when the remodel project was completed. We have two children with special needs.
My wife has had to stay at home to be with our children and was not able to work. Our
children attended an online public school and she had to monitor their progress. During the
early 2000's, we would be going to 3 therapies a week having to cover the copay. Along the
way, we had to give them a special diet that also cost extra. Happy to say, our children are now
young adults. My Son is a Sophomore in College and my Daughter is a Senior in High School
while still living with us. With their wheel-chairs, they are able to thrive and pursue their
dreams. We are down to one handicap vehicle to be able to transport our children. I take
public transportation to work to cut down on expenses. Now that my children are young
adults, I would like to focus on our financial situation. During the past 18 months, we have not
increased our debt. The refinance of our house will allow us to save around $1,300 a month if
you allow us to subordinate the loan. This will allow us to be free of all credit card debt in the
near future. Once this is done, I will be able to focus on saving money and put more money
into our house. I was planning on getting our house painted next year. After that, I would save
to replace our Air Conditioner which is over 25 years old and also save on replacing the furnace
in the near future as it is now 17 years old. If I am not able to get the $15,000 loan
subordinated, I will still have $15,000 in credit card debt, I would be paying an additional $600
per month and it will take longer to pay off the credit cards before I can work on home
improvements.
Thank you for taking the time to consider subordinating our $15,000 remodeling loan. We
enjoy living in Richfield and foresee ourselves living here for years to come.
Kevin Larson
RICHFIELD HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
SUBORDINATION & SATISFACTION POLICY
EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 2020
Subordinations
Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) loan recipients requesting subordination of the
interest of the HRA in real property must submit a Subordination Request Form, the required supporting
documentation, and a processing fee. Forms are available on the City of Richfield website
(http://www.richfieldmn.gov/subordinations) or by calling the Community Development Department at 612-
861-9760. Requests will not be considered until all documents and the processing fee have been
received.
Required Documents
The following information must be submitted with the Subordination Request Form:
1. A typed letter dated and signed by the mortgagor or lender, stating the reason for
the requested subordination and the use of any equity being removed as part of
the loan transaction.
2. A copy of the current appraisal (dated within six months of application) or other
evidence of market value of the property that is acceptable to the HRA.
3. A copy of current title work (must indicate all debt against the property).
4. Explanation of any debts to be paid off or consolidated as part of the
subordination process, along with supporting documentation (if applicable).
5. Estimated closing costs/settlement statement, where applicable.
6. A copy of the mortgagor’s loan application.
7. Additional documentation may be required.
Evaluation Criteria
The Richfield HRA will subordinate its mortgage interest if all of the following conditions are met, to the
extent that they are applicable:
1. Closing costs are reasonable. Generally this shall mean that the sum of all
discount points, origination fees, and lender ancillary fees generally shall not
exceed 3% of the new first mortgage amount.
2. If the HRA believes that the payment terms of the refinance are within the
financial means of the borrower.
3. The total debt secured by the property, including the HRA lien and all superior
mortgages, does not exceed 80% of the documented market value of the
property.
4. Any equity being removed beyond the cost of the loan transaction will be used to
improve the property. A typed letter, dated and signed by the applicant, must be
submitted stating the use of any equity being removed.
5. The overall value of superior debt must not be increased by more than 50%.
6. No more than two subordination request may be approved by the HRA per five
year period.
7. Property taxes, if not escrowed by the superior mortgage holder, must be current.
The HRA will not subordinate to reverse mortgages. In most cases, interest-only loans or loans with
interest-only options, revolving lines of credits or debt consolidation will not be allowed unless the HRA
determines that an acceptable reason warrants this type of loan.
The HRA may approve other subordination requests not meeting the conditions above on a case-by-case
basis that are clearly in the best interests of the HRA, where the security of the HRA loan remains
acceptable and denial of the request will cause or contribute to a documented hardship on the part of the
borrower.
As a condition of approval, the HRA may require the Borrower to receive financial counseling. While
many courses are available at no charge, the Borrower is responsible for any costs associated with the
counseling. The course must be approved by the HRA.
Appeal Process
In cases where a subordination request does not meet the Policy, the Executive Director may grant an
Administrative Exception per the criteria listed in the table below.
If an application is denied an Administrative Exception, the applicant may request an appeal in writing.
Appeals will be submitted by staff to the HRA at the next regularly scheduled meeting, provided the
request is made at least 10 days prior to that meeting. The HRA meets on the third Monday of each
month.
