Service of Beer. Wine and Liauor - John Lyons, Senior Project Director for
Hawthorn Suites, read the following statement with regard to liquor:
"Hawthorn understands and will comply with the existing liquor laws and
ordinances with the City of Edina.
to the City that complimentary beer, wine, or liquor cannot be served to hotel
guests or others as an enticement, and specifically, beer, wine and liquor will
not be served to guests during the hors d'oeuvre hour. This commitment is based
on the understanding that if the laws, ordinances or opinions of the City change
in the future, or if the City otherwise permits or suffers the service of beer,
wine or liquor to hotel guests by other hotels in the City, Hawthorn will be
entitled' to change their operations subject to compliance with the then existing
laws.
Further, it accepts the opinion of the counsel
Chairman/Mayor Richards called for comment from the public on the proposed
project. Susan Britzius, resident of Edinborough, stated that she objected to the
proposed hotel. Further, she said she was concerned about enticements that may be
made by the hotel that would capitalize on the park and encourage a different type
of weekend guest than the business traveler.
Mike Perpich, resident and Edinborough Board member, made reference to a letter
from Bob C. Tift, also resident and Edinborough Board member. The letter stated.

Commissionerflember Smith asked Attorney Erickson to restate his opinion
concerning liquor. Attorney Erickson stated that under the City's ordinance beer
and wine licenses are reserved for specific places, e.g. restaurants with minimum
seating for 25 persons, where meals are regularly served to the public.
Hawthorn would establish that kind of restaurant they would, under the ordinance,
be one of those places entitled to serve beer and wine.
asked if it was the intent of Hawthorn Suites to have a restaurant that would fit
those qualifications. Mr. Lyons stated that the restaurant in Hawthorn Suites is
not designed for the outside public, it is designed for internal use only.
Commissionerflember Kelly asked for a clarification on the proposed room rent for
the hotel suites. Steve Goldman, representing Hawthorn Suites, explained the room
rate structure in some detail and also discounts that may apply. They anticipate

that the rates will average approximately $70-75. Commissioner/Member Kelly
commented that she would be more comfortable with the higher rates that were
mentioned at the previous meeting.
Commissioner/Member Rice said that he concurred with Chairman/Mayor Richards that
the liquor issue need to be cleared up before further consideration can be given
to the project.
Commissioner/Member Smith raised the question of the land use and said he was
concerned that the residents at Edinborough purchased their units based upon the
amenity of the indoor park and two office buildings on the site. Chairman/Mayor
Richards recalled that the Council had'indicated on April 17 that there was no
problem with the land use and that it was appropriate.
Commissioner/Member Paulus commented that it is impossible to hear every
Edinborough resident and that what is important is what is best for the City, of
which Edinborough is a part. She said she was in favor of the proposed project;
that this is land that will not be used for office and that here is a proposal for
use of the land.

She stated further that the proposed zoning ordinance amendment

Steve Goldman answered by stating that Hawthorn Suites would not serve liquor
under the conditions as they exist today. Attorney Erickson advised that, in
order to bind the corporation to that statement, it could be included in the
closing documents, by a separate letter or as part of the document itself.
Commissioner/Member Smith said that he did not understand why Hawthorn Suites was
asking the City to enclose the hotel parking if in the future the City determined
it was necessary to construct a one level ramp.
understanding of the original project dealt with their buying land from the City
and developing the hotel.
the City desired to create some additional parking on the site for non-hotel use.
Subsequently, that has grown to the current proposal of 86 spaces for hotel use
and 100 spaces for general use. The value of the land and the paving that would
go into making up those 100 spaces would probably equate to $350,000.
to that, they were asked by the City for air rights to develop a parking deck over *
the land they would own. Typically, air rights have some value. Hawthorn then
suggested: 1) they would concede the value of the public parking and 2) would make
the air rights available for free. The only thing they would ask would be that in
developing the ramp that they end up with enclosed parking spaces for the lower
level.
Mr. Lyons said their

the first place - it would appear that there is a giving and a taking involved.
Mr. Lyons said his opinion was that enclosed ramps are not prohibitively
expensive; that they .are marginally more expensive. Chairman/Mayor Richards said
the real question is the business decision as to why the hotel would insist that
it has to be an enclosed ramp. Mr. Goldman elaborated that Hawthorn would be
giving the City the value of the land/air rights. In exchange Hawthorn would
receive some value in having enclosed parking which would make the hotel more
competitive.

enclosed parking in order to add a ramp, he would vote no.
Commissioner/Member Rice expressed his views on.the issues raised at the April 17

signage as proposed. Liquor - Assuming that Hawthorn had clarified that question

Affidavits of notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file.
Chainnan/Mayor Richards declared that the public hearing was open and asked for
public comment on the proposed refunding of bonds issued for the Edina Park Plaza
elderly housing project at Edinborough.
No comment or objection being heard, Chairman/Mayor Richards then called for
comment from Henry Hyatt, Executive Vice President, Edina Park Plaza of
Edinborough.
Chairman/Mayor Richards then declared the public hearing closed.
Commissioner/Member Rice asked why the developer had requested that FHA increase
the principal amount of the mortgage loan which it will insure by up to
$1,100,000. Mr. Hyatt explained that if the FHA approves the increase it would go
towards paying the cost of issuance, reducing some of the letter of credit cost or
reducing the amount of non-rated bonds and establishing a mortgage operating
deficit reserve.
Mr. Hyatt said he had nothing to add from his previous presentation.

Commissioner/Member Rice then asked why this would be of benefit for the City.
Mr. Hyatt said that the overall interest rate would be substantially reduced even
with the increased debt. In addition, the City would have assurance, with the
anticipated $500,000 of operating deficit reserve, that the project is that more

Section 462C.05 of the Act, after a public hearing thereon, and upon approval by
the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (the "Agency"), as provided by Section
462C.01 of the Act, on the basis of the considerations stated in Section 462C.04
of the Act.
This Council has heretofore received a proposal that the City finance
the cost of a multifamily housing development under the Act, consisting of
acquisition of land located at 7800 York Avenue in the City and the construction
and equipping thereon of a residential rental facility containing approximately
203 housing units and including functionally related and subordinate facilities
(the "Development").
The City has heretofore caused to be prepared and, after due notice,

the Prior Bonds to make a mortgage loan (the "Mortgage Loan") to Edina Park Plaza
Associates Limited Paanership, an Illinois limited partnership (the "Developer")
and a supplemental loan to Partners for Senior Commnities, Inc., an Illinois
corporation and a general partner of the Developer (the "General Partner"), to
finance the acquisition, construction and equipping of the Development. The
Mortgage Loan has been endorsed for mortgage loan insurance by the Federal Housing
Administration of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
In connection with the issuance of the Prior Bonds and the financing of
the Development, the Developer has heretofore entered into an Elderly Housing

The City has heretofore caused to be prepared and has approved an
amended program (the "Amended Program") under the Act, pursuant to which it is
proposed that the City issue the Bonds in one or more series and in a maximum
