EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REVIEW: Melissa Poehlman, Executive Director

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consider a one-time adjustment to the term expiration date of Commissioner Vrieze Daniels to account
for Bylaw modifications.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Last month, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) adopted modifications to its Bylaws in order to
correct the staggering of citizen commissioner terms. Under the revised Bylaws, citizen commissioner terms
will expire on February 28 and new appointments will begin March 1. In future years, recruitment and
appointment will be scheduled to coordinate with these dates; however, during this transition year, new
appointments will not be considered by the Council until March 22.
Given that Commissioner Vrieze Daniels' term appointment was not originally scheduled to expire until
November 2022, staff recommends that her current term expiration date be extended from February 28 to the
date on which she is reappointed or a new citizen commissioner is appointed to take her place. The date
could not exceed November 20, 2022.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By motion: Approve a revision to the current term limit of Commissioner Vrieze Daniels, setting her
term to expire upon her reappointment or the appointment of a new Housing and Redevelopment
Authority Commissioner, whichever comes first, but not to exceed November 20, 2022.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A.HISTORICAL CONTEXT
On February 21, 2022 the HRA voted to approve modifications to their Bylaws to correct the
staggering of terms.
B.POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
State Statute allows for a term of up to five years for an HRA appointment. Commissioner
Vrieze Daniels' initial five year term was previously set to expire on November 20, 2022.
C.CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
In order to participate in the March 21 meeting of the HRA, the term of Commissioner Vrieze
Daniels must be modified.
D.FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
E.LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
The proposed modification has been discussed with HRA Attorney Julie Eddington.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S):
Do not approve a modification to Commissioner Vrieze Daniels' term and conduct business with three
HRA Commissioners on March 21.

ITEM #1
PROPOSAL BY BEACON INTERFAITH HOUSING COLLABORATIVE TO
DEVELOP UP TO 40 UNITS OF SUPPORTIVE HOUSING ON THE PORTLAND
AVENUE ROUNDABOUT REMNANT PARCELS (6613-25 PORTLAND AVENUE).
Mayor Regan Gonzalez introduced Community Development Director Poehlman who gave a
brief overview of the property. Community Development Director Poehlman then introduced Assistant
Community Development Director Urban who read aloud Work Session Staff Report No. 7. Assistant
Community Development Director Urban introduced Kirsten Spreck, Director of Housing for Beacon
Interfaith Housing Collaborative. Kirsten Spreck gave a presentation that described the housing that is
proposed and the need for that type of housing.
Council Work Session Minutes -2- March 8, 2022
Council Member Trautmann thanked Kirsten Spreck for the presentation and asked about
which communities Beacon has been working with in the City and also the organizations that they
have partnered with. Kirsten Spreck stated that they have been in contact with MICC and shared that
Beacon is more focused on those young adults with neurodiversity that do not have the financial or
family support. A Congregational Organizer for Beacon, Ricky Kamil, stated that Woodlake Lutheran
Church is a part of the collaborative and that other area churches that want to see more deeply
affordable housing for the neurodivergent community in Richfield.
Council Member Whalen stated that he is generally supportive of the project and asked about
the difference between efficiency and studio apartments and the need for this type of housing for this
community. Kirsten Spreck stated that efficiency and studio are one in the same and explained that
this type of housing has helped youth and young adults experiencing homelessness or financial
hardship to get stabilized and find employment or further their educations. An architect from MSR,
Paul Mellblom, explained that the trauma that people face with homelessness and other traumas can
affect how people want to live and they might feel more comfortable having a one room apartment
than a multi-room apartment and shared that the efficiency apartments would be around 450 square
feet.
Council Member Supple shared her experience touring the 66 West site and she questioned
the density for this site. Kirsten Spreck explained the cost-benefit analysis for this proposal. Council
Member Supple stated her support if this project is similar to the 66 West project as there is a great
need for it in the community.
HRA Commissioner Ohnesorge thanked Beacon for bringing this project proposal and asked
about accessible units and zero threshold showers. Kirsten Spreck stated that there would likely be
accessible units on every floor. Paul Mellblom shared that per building code they are required to have
an elevator be accessible to all residents and all stairwells and doorways would meet ADA compliancy
and 2% of the units would have to have hearing and/or visual aids. Kirsten Spreck shared that Beacon
is dedicated to providing housing to persons with disabilities.
Council Member Hayford Oleary shared his support in this site being high density residential
as smaller unit density projects have not suited this site well and also shared his thoughts regarding
fair parking reduction practices for projects that are along major transit lines. Council Member Hayford
Oleary expressed optimism for the project to move forward for the community.
Council Member Trautmann appreciated the comments made by Council Member Hayford
Oleary and questioned the services provided for those that are transitioning out of homelessness. He
shared Richfield community organizations that would appreciate the opportunity to be a community
presence. Kirsten Spreck stated that each building is intended to meet the needs of the residents and
depending on the residents the services provided can differ.
Planning Commissioner Kennealy agreed with the comments made by the City Council
Members and questioned the number of parking stalls compared to the 66 West site and the zoning
this area to high density without affecting the rest of the neighborhood. Community Development
Director Poehlman stated that the comprehensive plan would need to be reassessed as the project
would move forward.
Planning Commissioner Rudolph expressed excitement for the project and shared a curiosity
of the hurdles that the project would need to overcome as it moves forward with respect to the lot size.
Kirsten Spreck stated that the project is in line with zoning for setbacks and height which would allow
for outdoor amenities for the residents.
Planning Commissioner Chair Quam asked why there is an efficiency limitation in medium
density housing to which Community Development Director Poehlman explained the history of the
code and how it has affected Richfield’s growth. Planning Commissioner Chair Quam also asked
about the availability of units for people with disabilities and what the proposed look of the building
would be like. Kirsten Spreck stated that they have not finalized the number of units that would be
Council Work Session Minutes -3- March 8, 2022
available as it is dependent upon research of the need in the area and also stated that the look of the
building is unknown at this time since this is a preliminary proposal however the Richfield community
and staff would be involved in the exterior look of the building.
Planning Commissioner Holmvig-Johnson shared concern about the long term conditions of
the building. Kirsten Spreck stated the accountability to provide quality housing in the long run and
Beacon reinvests in their properties to keep them in good condition for the residents.
Council Member Whalen referred back to Commissioner Kennealy’s question of the number of
parking stalls compared to the 66 West site. Kirsten Spreck stated that in the last few years they have
created parking below grade to offer more of a safe environment and that the proposed 25 stalls is
meant to be more proactive and can be discussed.
Planning Commissioner Hanson suggested that since the parking stalls at the other properties
are not being used to their full advantage that the extra parking space could be used for a recreational
space for the residents. Kirsten Spreck thanked Commissioner Hanson for that suggestion and stated
that they will bring that idea back to the design team.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez expressed excitement and support for this project and appreciated the
comments and questions from Council and Commissioners. She also thanked the presenters for the
proposal.
Council Member Supple asked if there is an age restriction on the service. Kirsten Spreck
explained that young adults between the age of 18 and 24 would be prioritized and stated that this is
permanent supportive housing which does not put a time limit on a person’s residency.
Community Development Director Poehlman stated that the commercial property next door
does have interest in the property however she will relay that the policymakers are generally
supportive of this possibility.
Assistant Community Development Director Urban summarized the discussion and stated the
next steps:
General consensus of approval for the high density
25 parking stalls might be too much for this project
Beacon is a thoughtful provider and trying to meet the needs of the people they are serving
Financially, this project would need the help of the HRA and additional funding which
would be discussed as the project moves forward.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consider a resolution of support for the development of affordable, supportive housing for people with
the lowest incomes on property located at 6613-25 Portland Avenue.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On Tuesday, March 8, at a joint work session of the City Council, Housing & Redevelopment
Authority (HRA), and Planning Commission, Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative (Beacon)
presented conceptual plans for the development of up to 40 units of supportive rental housing at
6613-25 Portland Avenue. Beacon specializes in developing supportive housing at deeply affordable
levels throughout the Twin Cities.
The population to be served would include neuro-diverse youth and young adults, and supportive
housing services would be provided on-site. The units would primarily be affordable at 30 percent of
the Area Median Income. This land is guided for Medium-Density Residential housing in the City's
2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Beacon is now requesting a resolution from the HRA, confirming their support for the concept of
affordable/supportive housing at this location. This resolution of support does not guarantee or
obligate the approval of any specific requests, but rather will indicate that the HRA is supportive of
the conceptual development of the land in this manner. This resolution will aid Beacon in securing
project financing and support at other levels of government.
The City of Richfield and its HRA has a long history of partnering with organizations that best serve
its residents. Supporting housing stability for people with the lowest incomes is a way to further the
community's commitment to equitable opportunities for all.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By motion: Approve the attached resolution supporting the development of affordable, supportive
multi-family housing by Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative on property located at 6613-25
Portland Avenue.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A.HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative is a non-profit housing developer that has developed
deeply affordable, supportive housing throughout the Twin Cities.
The property contains remnant parcels from the Portland Avenue roundabout project. The
HRA has been seeking a viable development proposal for the site since 2009.
B.POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan calls for a full range of housing choices that meet residents' needs
at every stage of their lives, and ensure a healthy balance of housing types that meet the needs of
a diverse population with diverse needs.
The property at 6613-25 Portland Avenue is guided for medium density residential housing.
C.CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
In order to seek funding for the proposed development, Beacon is seeking an indication of
support by the HRA for the development of affordable, supportive housing. The first funding
application is due April 13.
D.FINANCIAL IMPACT:
While Beacon will likely seek financial assistance from the HRA, approval of the resolution does
not obligate the HRA to provide any assistance.
E.LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
The attached resolution of support indicates that the HRA is supportive of an affordable,
accessible housing development in the area of 6613-25 Portland Avenue. It does not obligate the
HRA to approve any specific development proposal.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S):
Do not approve a resolution of support.

469.174 through 469.1794, as amended (the “TIF Act”); and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City is expected to adopt a resolution on September 22,
2020, approving the modification of the Redevelopment Plan and the TIF Plan for the TIF District,
in accordance with the TIF Act; and
WHEREAS, the Authority may incur certain costs related to the TIF District, which costs
may be financed on a temporary basis from available Authority funds; and
WHEREAS, under Section 469.178, subdivision 7 of the TIF Act, the Authority is
authorized to advance or loan money from any fund from which such advances may be legally
made in order to finance expenditures that are eligible to be paid with tax increments under the
TIF Act; and
WHEREAS, the Authority has determined to pay for certain administrative costs related to
the proposed TIF District (the “Qualified Costs”), which costs may be financed on a temporary
basis from funds available in the Housing and Redevelopment Authority General Fund for such
purposes; and
WHEREAS, the Authority intends to reimburse itself for the Qualified Costs from tax
increments derived from the property within the TIF District (the “Interfund Loan”) in accordance
with the terms of this resolution; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the Housing
and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Richfield, Minnesota that:
1. The Authority shall reimburse itself for the Qualified Costs in the amount of up to
$25,000, together with interest at the rate stated below. Interest accrues on the principal
amount from the date of each advance. The maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged
is limited to the greater of the rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 and
Section 549.09 as of the date the loan or advance is authorized, unless the written agreement
states that the maximum interest rate will fluctuate as the interest rates specified under
Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09 are from time to time adjusted. The
HRA Resolution No. 1371 2
interest rate shall be 5.0% and will not fluctuate.
2. Principal and interest (the “Payments”) on the Interfund Loan shall be paid
semiannually on each February 1 and August 1 (each a “Payment Date”), commencing on the
first Payment Date on which the Authority has Available Tax Increment (defined below), or on
any other dates determined by the Executive Director of the Authority, through the date of last
receipt of tax increment from the TIF District.
3. Payments on this Interfund Loan are payable solely from “Available Tax
Increment,” which shall mean, on each Payment Date, tax increment available after other

Payments on this Interfund Loan may be subordinated to any outstanding or future bonds or
notes issued by the Authority and secured in whole or in part with Available Tax Increment. The
Interfund Loan shall be paid prior to any pay-as-you-go notes or contracts secured in whole or in
part with Available Tax Increment, and any other outstanding or future interfund loans secured
in whole or in part with Available Tax Increment.
4. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under this Interfund Loan are
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 Interfund Loan.
5. This Interfund Loan is evidence of an internal borrowing by the Authority in
accordance with Section 469.178, subdivision 7 of the TIF Act, and is a limited obligation
payable solely from Available Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof under this
resolution. This Interfund Loan 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 Interfund Loan or other costs
incident hereto except out of Available Tax Increment, and neither the full faith and credit nor

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Public hearing and consideration of a resolution authorizing the sale of 6600 Logan Avenue South to
Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity and the approval of a Contract for Private Development for the
construction of a single family home.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity (TCHFH) is proposing to purchase 6600 Logan Avenue South from the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) for the development of a single family home that will be sold to
an income-qualified buyer.
In 2020, 6600 Logan Avenue South, along with 6600 Newton Avenue South, were conveyed to the HRA from
Hennepin County, following the reconstruction of 66th Street. There was no cost to the HRA to acquire the
properties.
The two remnant lots were designated for new construction in order to offset the loss of 18 homes that
were removed from 66th Street West prior to reconstruction. One lot was to be designated for the
New Home program (affordable new construction), and one lot designated for the Richfield
Rediscovered program (market-rate new construction).
The single story home proposed for 6600 Logan Avenue South will offer 1,919 square feet of finished living
space and include four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-car attached garage. Additionally, the home will
be built with accessibility features, such as a ramp from the garage into the house, widened doorways to
accommodate wheelchair access, a roll-in shower on the main level, and added grab bars where necessary.
Further, the home will be built to Zero-Energy Ready standards, which results in a highly efficient home. The
lot is 60 feet wide.
Concerns over the project have been raised by the neighboring property owner, who struggles with extreme
sensitivity to chemical smells. In order to offer reasonable accommodations to this resident, TCHFH has
agreed to:
Position the house so that the garage and driveway are on the north side of the property, and further
distanced from the impacted resident.
Install signage on the property indicating that vehicles should not be idling unless necessary for
construction.
Provide the resident with filters or filtering devices to help offset the impact of the construction.
Commit to ongoing communication with the resident about construction phases and schedules.
TCHFH and the HRA will enter into a Contract for Private Development (Contract) for the sale of the property
and subsequent construction of the home. The Contract provides for sale of the property to TCHFH for one
dollar.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Conduct and close the public hearing and by motion: Adopt a resolution authorizing the sale of 6600
Logan Avenue South to Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity, and approve a Contract for Private
Development with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity for the construction of a single family home.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A.HISTORICAL CONTEXT
6600 Logan Avenue South:
In 2020, following the completion of the 66th Street reconstruction project, Hennepin County
conveyed the properties at 6600 Logan Avenue South and 6600 Newton Avenue South to the
Richfield HRA.
In 2021, the conveyance was approved by the HRA with plans to develop the properties either
through the New Home Program (affordable new construction) or the Richfield Rediscovered
Program (market rate new construction). The property on Logan Avenue South was designated
for the New Home Program, while the property on Newton Avenue South will be sold through the
Richfield Rediscovered program later this year.
TCHFH is proposing to construct a single-level home of 1,919 finished square feet, four
bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car attached garage. The home will incorporate some
universal design features to allow for greater accessibility, such as wider doorways and a ramp
into the home, as well as energy efficiency upgrades.
In January 2022, the HRA approved Right of Entry Agreement for TCHFH to enter the
property in order to conduct land surveys, soil borings, and any other environmental
testing necessary before submitting their proposal.
On March 3, 2022, a letter was sent to neighbors detailing the new home plans and
inviting them to an open house on March 10.
On March 10, an open house was held from 4 - 6 p.m. at Wood Lake Nature Center. Three
residents attended.
One resident submitted written comments, which are attached to this staff report.
New Home Program:
TCHFH is a long-time partner of the New Home Program (Program). The organization has the
experience, capability, and financial security to develop the property and has previously
constructed and renovated many homes in Richfield under various federal and local programs.
The Program allows homes to be sold to households earning up to 80 percent of the Area Median
Income (AMI) ($79,900 for a family of four). TCHFH targets households whose income does not
exceed 60 percent of the AMI.
In the past ten years, 11 new homes were constructed under the Program for affordable
purchase. Over 50 new homes have been built since the Program began in 1981.
B.POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
The Program implements the goal of the Comprehensive Plan to ensure sufficient diversity in the
housing stock to provide for a range of household sizes, income levels and needs. The Program
carries out the policies that support this goal including:
Promote the development of a balanced housing stock that is available to a range of income
levels.
Promote the development, management and maintenance of affordable housing in the City
through assistance programs, alternative funding sources, and the creation of partnerships
whose mission is to promote low to moderate income housing.
In April 2019, the HRA adopted the revised Inclusionary Housing Policy, which states: "W ith
regards to scattered-site single family housing development, at least 20 percent of the units newly
constructed or rehabilitated and converted to long-term affordability in any three-year period must
meet the proscribed affordability requirements."
Given formal approval of this project, the ratio of affordable scattered-site single family
housing development will be 31 percent for the 2020-2022 time period.
In that time period, nine market-rate new homes have been built, while four
affordable new construction/rehabilitated homes will have been facilitated through the
HRA.
The proposed housing is consistent with the Housing Vision Statement that was accepted by the
City Council and HRA in June 2013. The Statement calls for a full range and balance of housing
types in the community that match the choices of residents at every stage of their lives.
C.CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
The Contract requires closing on the property to occur by June 1, 2022, and construction to be
completed by January 1, 2023.
D.FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In 2020, following the completion of the 66th Street reconstruction project, Hennepin County
conveyed the properties at 6600 Logan Avenue South and 6600 Newton Avenue South to the
Richfield HRA for no cost.
The New Home Program allows homes to be sold to households earning up to 80 percent of AMI
($79,900 for a family of four). However, TCHFH’s policy and funding sources target households
whose income does not exceed 60 percent of the AMI.
The property would be sold to TCHFH for one dollar. In turn, TCHFH would agree to include
energy efficiency and accessibility features in the home.
Once properties are brought into the TCHFH program, they are likely to remain within the
program's portfolio indefinitely. Once an owner is ready to sell their existing TCHFH-built
home, the organization will buy back the home for another client. This will allow the HRA's
investment to span over the life of the building and multiple households.
E.LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Sun Current on March 10, 2022.
Mailed notice was sent as a courtesy to homeowners and occupants living nearby.
The HRA Attorney prepared the Contract for Private Development.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S):
Do not approve the resolution authorizing sale of the property to Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity.
PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING:
Chad Dipman, Land Acquisition Manager, Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity.

CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS

and shall maintain, preserve and keep the Improvements in good repair and condition until sale of
the Property to a Qualified Buyer.

official may withhold issuance of a building permit for the Improvements unless the Construction
Plans are in conformity with this Agreement, and all local, state and federal regulations. The HRA
shall, within 25 days of receipt of Construction Plans submitted in application for a building permit,
review such Construction Plans to determine whether the foregoing requirements have been met. If
the HRA determines such Construction Plans to be deficient, it shall notify the Developer in writing
stating the deficiencies and the steps necessary for correction. Issuance of the building permit by the

Improvements shall be completed prior to January 1, 2023. All construction shall be in conformity

the Developer will be unable to complete construction of the Improvements in the time permitted by
this Section 4.3, it may notify the Developer and demand assurances from the Developer regarding
the Developer’s construction schedule. If such assurances are not forthcoming or are deemed by the
HRA at its sole discretion to be inadequate, the HRA may declare an Event of Default and may avail
itself of any of the remedies specified in Section 8.2 of this Agreement.
Section 4.4 Certificate of Completion. After notification by the Developer of completion
of construction of the Improvements, the HRA shall inspect the construction to determine whether
the Improvements have been completed in accordance with the Construction Plans and the terms of
this Agreement, including the date of the completion thereof. In the event that the HRA is satisfied
with the construction, the HRA shall furnish the Developer with a Certificate of Completion in the
7
form attached hereto as Exhibit D. Such certification by the HRA shall be a conclusive
determination of satisfaction and termination of the agreements and covenants in this Agreement
with respect to the obligation of the Developer to construct the Improvements.
The certification provided for in this Section 4.4 shall be in recordable form. If the HRA
shall refuse or fail to provide certification in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.4, the
HRA shall within 15 days of such notification provide the Developer with a written statement,
indicating in adequate detail in what respects the Developer has failed to complete the
Improvements in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement necessary, in the opinion of the
HRA, for the Developer to take or perform in order to obtain such certification.
Section 4.5 Failure to Construct. In the event that construction of the Improvements is not
completed as provided in Section 4.3 of this Agreement, an Event of Default shall be deemed to
have occurred and the HRA may proceed with its remedies under Section 8.2.
ARTICLE V.
INSURANCE
Section 5.1 Insurance. The Developer will provide and maintain or cause to be provided
and maintained at all times during the process of constructing the Improvements and, from time to
time at the request of the HRA, furnish the HRA with proof of payment of premiums on:

Basis,” in an amount equal to 100% of the insurable value of the Improvements at the date of
completion, and with coverage available in non-reporting form on the so-called “all risk” form of
policy;
(b) Comprehensive general liability insurance (including operations, contingent liability,
operations of subcontractors, completed operations and contractual liability insurance) together with
an Owner’s Contractor’s Policy with limits against bodily injury and property damage of not less
than $1,000,000 for each occurrence (to accomplish the above-required limits, an umbrella excess
liability policy may be used); and
(c) Workers” compensation insurance, with statutory coverage.
The policies of insurance required pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall be in form and
content satisfactory to the HRA and shall be placed with financially sound and reputable insurers
licensed to transact business in Minnesota. The policy of insurance delivered pursuant to clause (a)
above shall contain an agreement of the insurer to give not less than thirty (30) days advance notice
to the HRA in the event of cancellation of such policy or change affecting the coverage thereunder.

ARTICLE VI.
FINANCING
Section 6.1 Financing. Within 20 days of the date of execution of this Agreement, the
Developer shall submit to the HRA evidence of financing for the Improvements in compliance with
the provisions of Section 2.1(b) of this Agreement. If the HRA finds that the financing is adequate
in amount to provide for the construction of the Improvements, the HRA shall notify the Developer
of its approval.
If the HRA rejects the evidence of financing as inadequate, the Developer shall have 30 days
or such additional period of time as the Developer may reasonably require from the date of such
notification to submit evidence of financing satisfactory to the HRA. If the Developer fails to
submit such evidence or fails to use due diligence in pursuing financing, the HRA may terminate
this Agreement and both parties shall be released from any further obligation or liability hereunder,
except for the HRA’s remedies pursuant to Section 4.5 of this Agreement. Closing shall not take
place until the Developer has provided the HRA with acceptable evidence of financing for
construction of the Improvements.
Section 6.2 Limitation Upon Encumbrance of Property. Prior to the issuance of the
Certificate of Completion, neither the Developer nor any successor in interest to the Property or any
part thereof shall engage in any financing or any other transaction creating any Mortgage or other
encumbrance or lien upon the Property, whether by express agreement or operation of law, or suffer
any encumbrance of lien to be made on or attached to the Property other than the liens or
encumbrances attached for the purposes of obtaining funds to the extent necessary for making the
Improvements without the prior written approval of the HRA. The HRA shall not approve any
Mortgage which does not contain terms which conform to the terms of this Article VI and Section
8.2 of this Agreement.
Section 6.3 Subordination. In order to facilitate obtaining financing for the construction of
the Improvements by the Developer, the HRA may, in its sole and exclusive discretion, agree to

financial institution and the Developer.

ARTICLE VII.
PROHIBITIONS AGAINST ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER
Section 7.1 Representation as to Redevelopment. The Developer represents and agrees
that its undertakings pursuant to the Agreement, are for the purpose of development of the Property
and not for speculation in land holding. The Developer further recognizes that, in view of the
importance of the Development to the general welfare of Richfield and the substantial financing and
other public aids that have been made available by the HRA for the purpose of making the
Development possible, the qualification and identity of the Developer are of particular concern to
the HRA. The Developer further recognizes that it is because of such qualifications and identity that
the HRA is entering into this Agreement, and, in so doing, is further willing to rely on the
representations and undertakings of the Developer for the faithful performance of all undertakings
and covenants agreed by the Developer to be performed.
Section 7.2 Prohibition Against Transfer of Property and Assignment of Agreement.
For the reasons set out in Section 7.1 of this Agreement, the Developer represents and agrees that
prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion by the HRA:
(a) Except only by way of security for, and only for the purpose of obtaining financing
necessary to enable the Developer or any successor in interest to the Property, or any part thereof, to
perform its obligations with respect to the Development under this Agreement, and any other
purpose authorized by this Agreement, the Developer, except as so authorized, has not made or
created, and that it will not make or create, or suffer to be made or created, any total or partial sale,
assignment, conveyance, or any trust in respect to this Agreement or the Property or any part thereof
or any interest therein, or any contract or agreement to do any of the same, without the prior written
approval of the HRA; and
(b) The HRA shall be entitled to require, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, as conditions to any such approval under this Section 7.2 that:
(i) Any proposed transferee shall have the qualifications and financial responsibility, as
determined by the HRA, necessary and adequate to fulfill the obligations undertaken in this
Agreement by the Developer or, in the event the transfer is of or relates to part of the
Property, such obligations to the extent that they relate to such part,
(ii) any proposed transferee, by instrument in writing satisfactory to the HRA and in form
recordable among the land records, shall for itself and its successor and assigns, and
specifically for the benefit of the HRA, have expressly assumed all of the obligations of the
Developer under this Agreement and agreed to be subject to such obligations, restrictions
and conditions or, in the event the transfer is of, or relates to part of the Property, such
obligations, conditions, and restrictions to the extent that they relate to such part; provided,
that the effect that any transferee of, or any other successor in interest whatsoever to, the
Property or any part thereof, shall, for whatever reason, not have assumed such obligations
or agree to do so, shall not, unless and only to the extent otherwise specifically provided in
the Agreement or agreed to in writing by the HRA, relieve or except such transferee or
10
successor from such obligations, conditions, or restrictions, or deprive or limit the HRA of
or with respect to any rights or remedies or controls with respect to the Property of the
construction of the Improvements; it being the intent of this Section 7.2, together with other
provisions of this Agreement, that to the fullest extent permitted by law and equity and
excepting only in the manner and to the extent specifically provided otherwise in the
Agreement no transfer of, or change with respect to, ownership in the Property or any part
thereof, or any interest therein, however consummated or occurring, whether voluntary or
involuntary, shall operate, legally or practically, to deprive or limit the HRA, or any rights or
remedies or controls provided in or resulting from this Agreement with respect to the
Property and the construction of the Improvements that the HRA would have had, had there
been no such transfer or change, and
(iii) There shall be submitted to the HRA for review all instruments and other legal
documents involved in effecting transfers described herein, and if approved by the HRA, its
approval shall be indicated to the Developer in writing.
In the absence of specific written agreement by the HRA to the contrary, no such transfer or
approval by the HRA thereof shall be deemed to relieve the Developer from any of its obligations
with respect thereto. The sale of the Development to a Qualified Buyer shall not be deemed to be a
transfer within the meaning of this Section 7.2.
Section 7.3 Approvals. Any approval required to be given by the HRA under this Article
VIII may be denied only in the event that the HRA reasonably determines that the ability of the
Developer to perform its obligations under this Agreement will be materially impaired by the action
for which approval is sought.
ARTICLE VIII.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 8.1 Events of Default Defined. The following shall be deemed Events of Default
under this Agreement and the term shall mean, whenever it is used in this Agreement, unless the
context otherwise provides, any one or more of the following events:
(a) Failure by the Developer to pay when due the payments required to be paid or secured
under any provision of this Agreement;
(b) Subject to Section 9.7, failure by the Developer to complete the Improvements by
January 1, 2023, absent any Unavoidable Delay;
(c) Failure by the Developer to observe and substantially perform any covenant, condition,
obligation or agreement on its part to be observed or performed hereunder, including the time for
such performance;
(d) Failure by the Developer to close with a Qualified Buyer within 180 days of completion
or after that time as agreed upon by the parties.
11
(e) If the Developer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they
become due, or shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial
part of the Property;
(f) If the Developer, on a petition in bankruptcy filed against it, be adjudicated as bankrupt,
or a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order or decree appointing, without the consent of
the Developer, a receiver of the Developer or of the whole or substantially all of its property, or
approve a petition filed against the Developer seeking reorganization or arrangement of the
Developer under the federal bankruptcy laws, and such adjudication, order or decree shall not be
vacated or set aside or stayed within 60 days from the date of entry thereof; or
(g) If the Development is in default under any Mortgage and has not entered into a work-out
agreement with the Holder of the Mortgage.
Section 8.2 Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default occurs, the HRA may,
in addition to any other remedies or rights given the HRA under this Agreement, take any one or
more of the following actions following written notice by the HRA to the Developer as provided in
9.4 of this Agreement:
(a) suspend its performance under this Agreement until it receives assurances from the
Developer, deemed reasonably adequate by the HRA, that the Developer will cure its default and
continue its performance under this Agreement;
(b) cancel or rescind this Agreement;
(c) withhold the Certificate of Completion; or
(d) take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to the HRA to
collect any payments due under this Agreement, or to enforce performance and observance of any
obligation, agreement, or covenant of the Developer under this Agreement; provided, however, that
any exercise by the HRA of its rights or remedies hereunder shall always be subject to and limited
by, and shall not defeat, render invalid or limit in any way (a) the lien of any Mortgage authorized
by this Agreement and (b) any rights or interest provided in this Agreement for the protection of the
Holders of a Mortgage; and provided further that should any Holder succeed by foreclosure of the
Mortgage or deed in lieu thereof to the Developer’s interest in the Property, it shall, notwithstanding
the foregoing, be obligated to perform the following obligations of the Developer only to the extent
that the same have not therefore been performed by the Developer: Sections 3.3 through 3.7;
Sections 4.1 through 4.5; Sections 5.1. Said Holder, upon foreclosure or taking of a deed in lieu,
shall have no obligations pursuant to this Agreement other than as specifically set forth in the
foregoing sentence.
Section 8.3 No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
HRA 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
12
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 HRA or the Developer to
exercise any remedy reserved to it, it shall not be necessary to give notice, other than such notice as
may be required in this Article VIII.
Section 8.4 No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event of the
occurrence of any Event of Default by either party, which Event of Default is thereafter waived by
the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular Event of Default so waived and shall
not be deemed to waive any other concurrent, previous or subsequent Event of Default.
ARTICLE IX.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Conflict of Interests; Representatives Not Individually Liable. No HRA
officer who is authorized to take part in any manner in making this Agreement in his or her official
capacity shall voluntarily have a personal financial interest in this Agreement or benefit financially
there from. No member, official, or employee of the HRA shall be personally liable to the
Developer, or any successor in interest, for any Event of Default by the HRA or for any amount
which may become due to the Developer or successor or on any obligations under the terms of this
Agreement.
Section 9.2 Non-Discrimination. The provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 181.59,
which relate to civil rights and non-discrimination, and any affirmative action program of the City
shall be considered a part of this Agreement and binding on the Developer as though fully set forth
herein.
Section 9.3 Notice of Status and Conformance. At such time as all of the provisions of
this Agreement have been fully performed by the Developer, the HRA, upon not less than ten days
prior written notice by the Developer, agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver, without charge to
the Developer or to any person designated by the Developer, a statement in writing in recordable
