VII. REPORTS/RECOMMENDATIONS
VII.A. SMALL BUSINESS EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM – REPORT RECEIVED
Economic Development Manager Neuendorf stated the item pertained to the Emergency Assistance
Program established in April to support local small businesses who were struggling due to pandemic-related
business closures. He outlined program goals that focused on gaps in US and MN economic recovery
programs and helped viable businesses that targeted small viable businesses. Staff presented a summary of
the program recipients and reviewed criteria in detail and shared that of the 41 applications received 33
were eligible and loans were awarded to 11 small businesses totaling $9,000 forgivable loans. Mr. Neuendorf
said the majority of loans were issued to retail shops, beauty/fitness and two local restaurants and all
agreements were signed and executed and funds disbursed for loans to close July 31, 2022.
The Commission asked how applications were compared and different criteria and about those who did not
qualify and minority-owned businesses. Mr. Neuendorf responded of the 41 applications received eight were
rejected due to being submitted twice, not located in Edina or in a commercial or industrial zone, and brand
new to Edina then spoke about the subjectivity involved and how staff relied on expertise of Open to
Business to help determine eligibility. He spoke about viability of all businesses and cautioned on use of
Minutes/HRA/May 28, 2020
Page 2
funds for those not possibly viable then spoke about their review of decisions and why a panel was important
for full perspective. He shared minority was not a criterion used but how there was strong turnout of both
minority- and women-owned businesses and while not a goal was part of the outcome.
The Commission complimented staff on the speed of program creation for businesses to use and how use
of the funds for loan purposes versus grants could result in recovery through the CARES act that could total
$2.4 million for Edina and would be used to further support small business.
Executive Director Neal shared distribution formulas that varied in the House and Senate bills that ranged
from $2.5-$4.5 million and said the definition of expenses had begun to expand to include programs such as
small business emergency assistance programs and that staff would continue to monitor legislation.
VII.B. EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE – REPORT RECEIVED
Housing Manager Hawkinson shared on April 7, 2020 the City Council approved a $100,000 grant to VEAP
to provide Emergency Rental Assistance to Edina residents. She shared as of May 21 $79,660 in emergency
rental assistance with 60 unduplicated Edina households had received aid for an average request of $1,395
and median request of $1,135 and that approximately 40% recipients in May were non-English speaking then
noted the need was expected to increase in the summer. She shared prioritizing assistance for households
with no known resolvability and said people who utilized the program tended to work in the restaurant or
salon industries and were employees that did not qualify for federal relief or unemployment then shared a
note of thanks from one Edina resident.
The Commission commented about being close to all funds expended and how rental assistance would not
be eligible for CARES funding. Ms. Hawkinson said Hennepin County had given some aid but was limited to
$1,500 per family over the course of three months. Mr. Neal agreed the funding was not being considered
as an allowable CARES expense because was in grant form instead of a loan and was being advocated for
and monitored.
The Commission spoke about the anticipated pandemic peak and if there were any plans to repeat one or
both of those programs. Mr. Neal said staff had not brought anything forward yet to the Commission but
agreed there could be the need for these programs again and would be able to act quickly then added the
City had received the affordability housing fee from the Tom Lund project which was good.
The Commission asked for timing for receipt of CARES funding. Mr. Neal spoke about two proposed bills
that included dates of June 12 and hoped to get allocations by then with a possible special session mid-June.
He said staff would likely come back to Council or the Commission by June 16 due to the gap in the Council
meeting calendar.
The Commission asked for an update about the use of COVID-related funds as a replacement of lost
revenue. Mr. Neal shared a recent interview spoke about inclusion of lost revenue in the federal House bill
but not yet on the Senate side and that a compromise was likely being discussed and that staff would continue
to monitor the bill.

INTRODUCTION:
On July 25, 2019 the HRA authorized Staff to engage our legal consultant to draft legal documents so the HRA
could acquire 7075-7079 Amundson Avenue from the Edina Housing Foundation for $1,300,000 and sell to
MWF Properties for $600,000.
Since that time, MWF has secured financing and site plan approval to complete this development. Rather than
conveying the property to MWF Properties, the site will be conveyed to Amundson Flats, LP, of which MWF is
a member of the General Partnership.
The Redevelopment Agreement spells out the requirements that the land will be developed into 62 units of
affordable housing that will remain affordable for 40 years.
The Staff Report, Resolution, and Redevelopment Agreement are attached.

Stephanie Hawkinson, Affordable Housing Development Manager
PUBLIC HEARING: Resolution 2020-03 Authorizing Sale of Land to Amundson Flats, LP and
Approve Redevelopment Agreement
Information / Background:
In July 2018, the East Edina Housing Foundation (Foundation) acquired the Waldorf-Nevens at 7075-7079
Amundson Avenue (Parcel). Their intent was to secure a developer through a Request for Proposal (RFP)
process for the development of multifamily affordable housing. The Foundation unanimously selected MWF
Properties, LLC (MWF) as their proposal was in keeping with the Foundation’s vision.
MWF is proposing a 100% workforce housing development containing 62 one-, two- and three-bedroom
units. There will be underground parking, first floor patios, and a connection to the bike trail. The proposed
rents will serve households with incomes between 30% and 70% of the Area Median Income.
The Foundation and MWF negotiated an initial Purchase Agreement for $1,300,000. The sale proceeds
would reimburse the Foundation for the acquisition of the site; property taxes; insurance; legal fees; utilities;
and the cost for securing the property. Later, the Foundation agreed to write down the purchase price to
$600,000 to help fill the development financing gap and strengthen MWF’s Low Income Housing Tax Credit
(LIHTC) application to Minnesota Housing. MWF was awarded full LIHTCs in November. They have
secured all necessary financing to complete the proposed development and are moving towards acquisition
and financial closing.
HRA Participation
Although the Foundation was prepared to fulfill their agreement to sell the property at a reduced price, the
loss of revenue would have an impact on their on-going operations and ability to undertake similar
development activities in the future. The Foundation does not have a revenue stream but must rely on
investment and interest earnings on their Come Home 2 Edina mortgages. Therefore, on July 25, 2019 the
Foundation requested that the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) acquire the Parcel for
$1,300,000 and honor the land sale write-down resolution with MWF. The HRA agreed and authorized staff
to engage legal consul to prepare documents so the HRA can acquire 7075-7079 Amundson Avenue from
STAFF REPORT Page 2
the Foundation and sell to MWF Properties. The HRA expressed interest in having the Foundation maintain
ownership until MWF had their financing secured and were prepared to assume ownership.
On December 12, 2019 via Resolution 2019-10, the HRA adopted a modification to the Tax Increment
Financing Plan for the Southdale 2 Tax Increment Financing District; established the Amundson Avenue Tax
Increment Financing District and approved a Tax Increment Financing Plan. Staff recommended using
$1,300,000 in Southdale 2 Special Legislation Pooled funds to acquire the parcel.
On February 19, 2020, the City Council approved the final rezoning, final plat, and final development plan for
the Project.
Sale of 7075-7079 Amundson Avenue
With financing and land use approvals secured, MWF Properties is seeking to acquire the property.
Resolution 2020-03 authorizes the sale of 7075-7079 Amundson Avenue to Amundson Flats, Limited
Partnership.
Low Income Housing Tax Credit developments are structured whereby a Limited Partnership is formed that
will own the development. The Tax Credit investor, in this case US Bank, becomes the Limited Partner and
MWF Properties is a member of the General Partner, Edina Group, LLC. The sale of the land will be to the
Limited Partnership.
Redevelopment Agreement Highlights
To secure the intent of the land-sale write-down for the development of affordable housing, Staff is also
seeking approval of a Redevelopment Agreement between the HRA and Amundson Flats, LP. The complete
Redevelopment Agreement is attached with a summary of key terms below.
• The development will provide 62 units of affordable housing.
• The HRA will acquire the Parcel from the Edina Housing Foundation for $1,300,000 and sell to
Amundson Flats, LP for $600,000 using Southdale 2 Special Legislation TIF pooled funds.
• The Redevelopment Agreement is secured by a Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions that will
be in place for 40-years.
• If construction does not commence by January 2, 2021, the HRA may require that the property be
transferred back to the HRA.
• Development must be completed by December 1, 2022.
• 100% of the units must be affordable: Eight units affordable to households with incomes at or below
30% of Area Median Income (AMI); 31units affordable to households with incomes at or below 50%
of AMI; and 23 units affordable to households with incomes at or below 70% of AMI as allowed
through income averaging.
• Amundson Flats, LP may assign their rights and obligations under the Redevelopment Agreement to
US Bank, the construction lender.
• The Limited Partner has the right to cure any defaults.

Starting Pooling Capacity $7,485,831

Amundson Flats ($1,300,000) $600,000
Future Funding Capacity $4,385,831
Public Purpose/Comprehensive Plan Conformance:
The initial development plans were amended to align with the Small Area Plan (SAP) that was adopted by
the City Council on January 8, 2019. The proposed plans now limit the unit count to 50 units per acre and
include a trail easement on the south edge. As stated in the SAP:
The 70th & Cahill neighborhood commercial node was first identified in the 2008 Edina
Comprehensive Plan as a potential area of change, noting its “potential for the addition of new
compatible uses” was greater than in other areas of the city. As part of the city’s overall 2018
update to the comprehensive plan, 70th & Cahill was identified as one of six critical geographic areas
within the community that have the potential for significant change and development (page 1).
The proposed Amundson Flats is the first development to come forth within the study area following the
adoption of the SAP.
Affordable Housing
The 70th and Cahill SAP and the 2019 draft Comprehensive Plan both express the need to create affordable
housing. Preserving and producing affordable housing is a priority in the City as evidenced by the passage of
the New Multifamily Affordable Housing Policy in March 2019.
Within the SAP affordable housing is mentioned in a variety of areas:
• Page v:” Connection to an under‐represented housing stock and potential location for the “missing
middle,” or varied, affordable housing choices within a walkable area for middle‐income residents
such as teachers, police officers and retirees.”
• Guiding Principle 3 on page 9 states: “Housing options provided at Cahill Village comply with and
support the City of Edina's Affordable Housing Policy.”
• On page 35, land use goal 5 states: “Encourage and accommodate affordable housing as part of
redevelopment.”
Additional Public Purpose:
• According to the Edina Chamber of Commerce, employers have reported that increasing the
number of workforce housing units helps with the recruitment of employees and put the local
economy at a competitive advantage.
• Affordable rents can increase the residual income that households have at their disposal after
meeting necessary housing costs, thus providing increase buying power to support local businesses.
• An estimated 125 short term construction jobs will be created.
• Three permanent jobs will be created.

Article V Affordable Housing
5.1 Use Restriction. The Property shall not be used for any purpose other than a multi-family rental housing facility and related activities meeting the requirements set forth in this Article V, without the
prior written approval of the City and the Authority during the period commencing on the date hereof and until no earlier than the 40th anniversary of the date the Certificate of Completion is issued (the “Qualified Project Period”).
5.2 Affordable Housing Requirements. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.4(b) relating to any land use restriction agreement (the “LURA”) encumbering the Property, the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Section 5.2 and contained in the Affordable Housing Restrictive Covenant shall
apply during the Qualified Project Period.
(a) Affordable Units. Developer covenants that 100% of the residential units within the Project (the “Affordable Units”) will be leased at certain rates specified below (inclusive of utilities and mandatory fees) which are considered affordable to certain low- and moderate-income households. The Affordable Units will consist of the following mix of affordability levels:
(i) at least eight of the Affordable Units will be reserved for households who have a combined gross annual income which does not exceed 30% of AMI (each a “30% Unit”), four of which will be set aside for High Priority Homeless (the “HPH Units”) and four of which will be set aside for People with Disabilities (the “PWD Units”). If any subsidy or housing support in connection with the HPH Units or PWD Units is withdrawn or otherwise no longer available, the 30% Units shall be reserved for households who have a combined gross annual income which does not exceed 60% of AMI for the HPH Units and 50% of AMI for the PWD Units;
(ii) at least 31 of the Affordable Units will be reserved for households who
have a combined gross annual income which does not exceed 60% of AMI (each a “60% Unit”); and
(iii) at least 23 of the Affordable Units will be reserved for households who
have a combined gross annual income which does not exceed 70% of AMI (each a “70% Unit”).
11 Redevelopment Agreement (Amundson Flats) 4819-0529-4004\6
Any changes in the affordability levels of the Affordable Units set forth herein shall require
the prior written approval of the Authority, which such consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld. For avoidance of doubt, it will be deemed reasonable if the Authority withholds its consent to any proposed change in affordability levels that does not comply
with applicable Law. Recent federal legislation has introduced an income averaging option for the low-income housing tax credit program. This legislation allows projects to accept residents with higher average median incomes as along as the overall average of the income of tenants in the
project does not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the area median income, which provides low income housing projects the ability to serve tenants with a greater range of incomes (“Income Averaging”). MHFA allows Income Averaging for the low income housing tax credit program to be used for the Project. This Agreement requires Developer to cause one hundred percent (100%) of the Affordable Units in the Project to be affordable to families at various levels using Income Averaging, if applicable; provided, however, the overall average of the income of tenants of the Project shall not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the area median income.
(b) Affordable Unit Mix. The Affordable Units shall be distributed among one-bedroom units (which will be no less than 636 square feet in size), two-bedroom units (which will be no less than 892 square feet in size) and three-bedroom units (which will be no less than 1,049 square feet in size). There will be eight one-bedroom units, 23 two-bedroom units, and 31 three-bedroom units.
Changes in the distribution of Affordable Units set forth herein shall require the prior written approval of the Authority, which such consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld.
(c) Qualifying Tenants. Each Affordable Unit shall be leased to and occupied (or held vacant and available for occupancy) for the duration of the Qualified Project Period only by a household who, at initial occupancy, has a combined gross annual income which does not exceed the
respective AMI threshold for each type of Affordable Unit (each a “Qualifying Tenant”) (e.g., each 30% Unit may only be leased to and occupied by a Qualifying Tenant whose gross annual income does not exceed 30% of AMI, etc.). Each subsequent tenant of the Affordable Unit must be a Qualifying Tenant.
(d) Rental Rates. Each Affordable Unit shall bear annual rents not greater than the rental rate limits for the applicable Qualifying Tenant (adjusted for bedroom count, and including utilities) as determined and announced from time to time by HUD and as published annually by the MHFA (or any successor agency(ies) administrating government affordable housing programs). During the Qualified Project Period, the form of lease to be utilized by Developer in renting Affordable Units will provide that rental rates charged to any tenant of an Affordable Unit cannot be increased more than once in any 12-month period.
(e) Certification of Tenant Eligibility. No tenant household shall be approved by Developer for initial occupancy of an Affordable Unit unless and until Developer has determined (through verification of income, assets, expenses, and deductions) whether such tenant household is a
Qualifying Tenant for the applicable Affordable Unit. Each person who is intended to be a Qualifying Tenant will be required at the commencement of the initial lease of an Affordable Unit to sign and deliver to Developer a “Certification of Tenant Eligibility” in a form reasonably
approved by the Authority (the “Eligibility Certification”), in which the prospective tenant certifies as to qualifying as an applicable Qualifying Tenant. Eligibility Certifications may be obtained no more than 120 days before a Qualifying Tenant occupies an Affordable Unit. In addition, the person
will be required to provide whatever other information, documents, or certifications are deemed reasonably necessary by the Authority to substantiate the Eligibility Certification. Eligibility Certifications will be maintained on file by Developer with respect to each Qualifying Tenant who
12 Redevelopment Agreement (Amundson Flats) 4819-0529-4004\6
resides or resided in an Affordable Unit for a period of 10 years following the end of the Qualified
Project Period. Developer must re-examine and verify the income of each tenant household living in an Affordable Unit annually unless, during such year, no Affordable Unit is occupied by a new tenant household whose income exceeds the applicable income limit for Qualifying Tenants. In
addition, no re-certification shall be required if a Qualifying Tenant moves to a different Affordable Unit.
(f) Additional Affordable Housing Requirements.
(i) No security deposit shall be required in excess of the amount of one month of rent in connection with any Affordable Unit.
(ii) During the final year of the affordability period, new leases for the Affordable Units must be for a term of no less than six months, and such newly leased Affordable Units will be subject to all the requirements of this Article V until the expiration of such new leases.
(iii) Developer shall affirmatively market the Affordable Units to one or more traditionally underserved populations as affordable at the rates required hereunder.
(iv) The Affordable Units shall be subject to the terms and condition of the City’s Inclusionary Housing Policy Program Guide (“Policy Guide”), as the same may be amended from time to time, a current version of which is attached as Exhibit F.
(v) Developer shall, upon annual invoicing, reimburse the City (or such subdivision of the City administrating affordable housing requirements) for third-party expenses related to monitoring of Developer’s compliance with this Article V and the
Affordable Housing Restrictive Covenant (plus any additional costs necessitated by re-inspections for noncompliance) and thereafter be subject to reasonable adjustment from time to time.
5.3 Restrictive Covenant. The requirements of this Article V will be set forth in a separate restrictive covenant in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit H (the “Affordable Housing Restrictive Covenant”) and recorded against the Redevelopment Property.
5.4 Consents and Subordination.
(a) Mortgage Financing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the requirements of this Article V and the Affordable Housing Restrictive Covenant, shall not be subordinated or junior to any Mortgage on the Project, and if any Mortgage exists at the time the Affordable Housing Restrictive Covenant is to be recorded, Developer shall cause the mortgagee under such Mortgage to subordinates the Mortgage and the lien thereof to the Affordable Housing Restrictive Covenant.
(b) LIHTC LURA. The Authority acknowledges that the Property will be encumbered by the LURA in connection with low income housing tax credits obtained by Developer for the Project in accordance with Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (“LIHTC”), restricting the use of the Property to affordable housing in accordance with LIHTC requirements. The Authority will subordinate and/or modify the requirements of this Article V and the Affordable Housing
Restrictive Covenant as reasonably necessary in order to enable Developer to obtain such LIHTC financing. For so long as the LURA encumbers the Property, to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the LURA and the terms of the Affordable Housing Restrictive
13 Redevelopment Agreement (Amundson Flats) 4819-0529-4004\6
Covenant, the terms of the LURA shall prevail and such prevailing terms shall be deemed to modify
and replace the applicable terms of the Affordable Housing Restrictive Covenant. If the LURA is terminated prior to the expiration of the Qualified Project Period, then the requirements of this Article V and the Affordable Housing Restrictive Covenant will continue in full force and effect in
accordance with their original terms until the expiration of the Qualified Project Period. Other than the LURA, Developer has not and will not without the prior written consent of the Authority, execute any other agreement with provisions contradictory to, or in opposition to, the provisions
hereof and that, in any event, the requirements of this Declaration are paramount and controlling as to the rights and obligations set forth herein and supersede any other document’s provisions in conflict herewith.
Article VI Encumbrance of the Property
6.1 Copy of Notice of Default to Mortgagee and Limited Partner. If the Authority delivers any notice or demand to Developer with respect to any Default under this Agreement, the Authority will also deliver a copy of such notice or demand to the mortgagee of any Mortgage at the address of such mortgagee provided to the Authority in writing. In conformity with this Section 6.1, the Authority shall deliver any notice or demand delivered to Developer’s limited partner, U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corporation, a Minnesota corporation, its successors and/or assigns (the “Limited Partner”), Developer’s
construction lender, U.S. Bank National Association (the “Construction Lender”), and Developer’s permanent lender, Bridgewater Bank (the “Permanent Lender”) at the addresses set forth in Section 11.3 of this Agreement.
6.2 Mortgagee’s and Limited Partner’s Option to Cure Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Limited Partner, the Construction Lender, the Permanent Lender or any mortgagee under any Mortgage will have the right at its option, to cure or remedy such Event of Default
within the cure periods set forth herein and the Authority shall accept such cure or remedy as though it was made by Developer.
6.3 Rights of a Foreclosing Mortgagee. Any individual or entity who acquires title to all or a portion of the Project through the foreclosure of any Mortgage or deed in lieu of foreclosure remains subject to each of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and remains subject to all of the obligations of Developer, or any successor in interest to Developer, under the terms of this Agreement, but neither the purchaser at a foreclosure sale, the grantee under a deed in lieu of foreclosure, nor any subsequent transferee from a mortgagee shall have any personal liability for a breach of such obligations under this Agreement so long as:
(a) the party acquiring title through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure observes all of the restrictions set forth in the Agreement; and
(b) the party who acquired title through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure does not undertake or permit any other party to undertake any Project on the portion of the Property it owns.
The purpose of this section is to permit a foreclosing lender (or mortgagee or purchaser obtaining
a deed in lieu of foreclosure or a subsequent transferee) to hold title to the portion of the Property it acquires through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, subject to, but without personal liability for the obligations under this Agreement, until it can sell the portion it holds to a third party who will assume the
obligations of Developer under the terms of this Agreement and proceed with the construction of the Project pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If, rather than passively holding title to the portion of the Property it acquires through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, the foreclosing lender (or mortgagee obtaining
14 Redevelopment Agreement (Amundson Flats) 4819-0529-4004\6
a deed in lieu of foreclosure or subsequent transferee) or other purchaser at a foreclosure sale desires to
construct the Project, the purchaser at the foreclosure sale must assume and perform each of the obligations of Developer, or the applicable successor to the interest of Developer, under this Agreement as to the portion of the Project subject to foreclosure. This section does not restrict the authority of the Authority to pursue
its rights under any outstanding security, exercise remedies otherwise available under this Agreement or suspend the performance of the obligations of the Authority or Developer under this Agreement as otherwise allowed. The Authority agrees to reasonably cooperate with any foreclosing lender (or mortgagee
obtaining a deed in lieu of foreclosure) or other purchaser at a foreclosure sale in pursuing the Project in accordance with this Agreement. Unless acting other than passively holding title as described above in this section, a lender or an independent third party that purchases at a foreclosure sale will have no liability for breach under this Agreement.
6.4 Events of Default Under Mortgage. Developer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an agreement from any mortgagee under a Mortgage that in the event Developer is in default under any Mortgage, the mortgagee will use commercially reasonable efforts, within 30 days after it becomes aware of any such default and prior to exercising any remedy available to it due to such default, to notify the Authority in writing of (a) the fact of default; (b) the elements of default; and (c) the actions required to cure the default. Developer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an agreement in any such Mortgage, that if, within the time period required by the Mortgage, the Authority cures any
default under the Mortgage, the mortgagee will pursue none of its remedies under the Mortgage based on such default, provided that failure of Developer to obtain such an agreement from any such mortgagee shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
Article VII Insurance and Indemnification
7.1 Insurance.
(a) Developer shall obtain and continuously maintain insurance on the Project and, from time to time at the request of the Authority, furnish proof to the Authority that the premiums for such insurance have been paid and the insurance is in effect. The insurance coverage described below is the minimum insurance coverage that Developer must obtain and continuously maintain, provided that Developer shall obtain the insurance described in clause (i) below with respect to the Project prior to the Commencement of construction thereof and is only obligated to maintain the insurance described in clause (i) until Developer receives a Certificate of Completion:
(i) Builder’s risk insurance, written on the so-called “Builder’s Risk-Completed Value Basis,” in an amount equal to 100% of the insurable value of the Project at the date of Completion, and with coverage available in non-reporting form on the so-called “all risk” form of policy.
(ii) 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 naming the Authority, as
an additional insured, with limits against bodily injury and property damage of not less than $5,000,000 for each occurrence (to accomplish the above-required limits, an umbrella excess liability policy may be used), written on an occurrence basis.
(iii) Workers compensation insurance, for employees of Developer if and to the extent required by Law.
15 Redevelopment Agreement (Amundson Flats) 4819-0529-4004\6
(b) All insurance required in this Article shall be obtained and continuously maintained by
responsible insurance companies selected by Developer which are authorized under the laws of the State to assume the risks covered by such policies. If available on commercially reasonable terms, each policy must contain a provision that the insurer will not cancel nor modify the policy without
giving written notice to the insured at least 30 days before the cancellation or modification becomes effective. Not less than 15 days prior to the expiration of any policy, Developer must renew the existing policy or replace the policy with another policy conforming to the provisions of this
Article. In lieu of separate policies, Developer may maintain a single policy, blanket or umbrella policies, or a combination thereof, having the coverage required herein.
7.2 Indemnification.
(a) Developer releases and covenants and agrees that the City Parties shall not be liable for and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City Parties 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 Project constructed by Developer, except to the extent attributable to the negligence or intentional misconduct of any City Party.
(b) Except to the extent of the negligence or intentional misconduct of any City Party, Developer shall indemnify the City Parties, now and forever, and further agrees to hold the aforesaid harmless from any claims, demands, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable
attorney’s fees), actions or other proceedings whatsoever by any person or entity whatsoever arising or purportedly arising from the actions or inactions of Developer (or other persons under its direction or control) under this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or the
acquisition, construction, installation, ownership, and operation of the Project.
Article VIII Other Developer Covenants
8.1 Future Use of Tax Increments. Developer acknowledges that the Property is part of the TIF District. Developer shall affirmatively assist and cooperate with the City’s and the Authority’s reasonable requests and requirements for the administration, management, and modifications to the TIF District and TIF Plan. Developer acknowledges and agrees that Developer shall have no right, title, interest, in or to any Tax Increments generated from the Property and/or the Project, and that the Authority may use and apply any such Tax Increment for any purpose for which such Tax Increments may lawfully be used under the TIF Act, the TIF Plan, and pursuant to the provisions of any other applicable Law.
8.2 Developer Reimbursement Obligations. Developer shall pay all reasonably incurred out of pocket costs of the City and the Authority for the City Consultants in connection with the Project, including but not limited to costs of the development and negotiation of this Agreement, the TIF Plan, the creation of the TIF District, the Final Development Plan, the Site Improvement Contract, fiscal analysis, legal fees and all costs and expenses related thereto. Developer shall pay such costs monthly upon presentation of invoices and other documentation of such costs, not more than 30 days after the request for payment is delivered to Developer.
8.3 Maintenance and Operation of the Project. Developer shall, at all times during the term of this Agreement, maintain and operate the Project in a safe and secure way and in compliance with this Agreement and applicable Law. Developer shall pay all of the reasonable and necessary expenses of the
operation and maintenance of the Project, including all premiums for insurance insuring against loss or damage thereto and adequate insurance against liability for injury to persons or property arising from the construction of the Project as required pursuant to this Agreement. During construction of the Project,
16 Redevelopment Agreement (Amundson Flats) 4819-0529-4004\6
Developer shall not knowingly cause any person working in or attending the Project for any purpose, or
any tenant of the Project, to be exposed to any hazardous or unsafe condition; provided that such party shall not be in Default hereunder if it has required the contractors employed to perform work on the Project to take such precautions as may be available to protect the persons in and around the Project from hazards
arising from the work, and has further required each such contractor to obtain and maintain liability insurance protecting against liability to persons for injury arising from the work. The expenses of operation and maintenance of the Project shall be borne solely by Developer.
8.4 Condemnation, Damage, or Destruction. In the event that title to and possession of the Project or any material part thereof shall be taken in condemnation or by the exercise of the power of eminent domain by any governmental body or other person (except the Authority or the City) or the Project is damaged or destroyed, Developer shall, with reasonable promptness after such taking, notify the Authority as to the nature and extent of such taking. Upon receipt of any condemnation award or insurance proceeds Developer shall elect to either: (a) use the entire condemnation award or insurance proceeds to reconstruct the Project (or, in the event only a part of the Project has been taken, then to reconstruct such part) upon the remaining Property to the extent necessary to maintain and continue operations of Project for its intended purpose; or (b) in the event that the condemnation affects or taking or damage or destruction affects the Property but not the Project improvements thereon, retain, for the account of Developer, all of the condemnation award or insurance proceeds.
8.5 Business Subsidy Agreement. The Authority and Developer agree that the Project is exempt from the requirement for entering into a business subsidy agreement within the meaning of the Minnesota Business Subsidy Act, Minnesota Statutes, Sections 116J.993 through 116J. 995, because the
Land Write Down provides assistance for housing within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 116J.993, subd. 3(7).
8.6 Developer/Authority Grant Applications. Developer and the Authority will cooperate in
efforts to obtain available public grant funding to undertake the Project, including but not limited to grants from the Metropolitan Council, Department of Employment and Economic Development, and any other funding from metropolitan, state, county, and federal sources identified by the Authority or Developer as reasonably available. Costs of preparing the grant applications shall be borne by Developer. City staff shall have the final authority to review and submit the grant applications to the applicable agency.
Article IX Transfer Limitations
9.1 Representation as to the Project. Developer represents to the Authority that its undertakings under this Agreement are for the purpose of developing the Project and not for the purpose of speculation in land holding. Developer acknowledges that, in view of the importance of the Project to the general welfare of the City and the Authority, and the substantial financing and other public aids that have been made available by the City and the Authority for the purpose of making such Project possible, the qualifications and identity of Developer are of particular concern to the Authority. Developer further acknowledges that the Authority is willing to enter into this Agreement with Developer because of the
qualifications and identity of Developer.
9.2 Limitation on Transfers.
(a) Until the Authority’s issuance of the Certificate of Completion, Developer shall not sell,
assign, convey, lease or transfer in any other mode or manner any of its right, title, and interest in and to this Agreement, all or any part of the Property or the Project, without the express written approval of the Authority, provided that the consent of the Authority shall not be required for any
17 Redevelopment Agreement (Amundson Flats) 4819-0529-4004\6
of the following:
(i) granting of a Mortgage in the Property, subject to the terms of Article VI hereof;
(ii) leasing the Project in the normal course of business in a manner consistent
with this Agreement and the City Approvals;
(iii) A transfer to a Mortgage holder pursuant to Section 9.3; or
(iv) transfer to a Related Party, provided such Related Party, upon request of
the Authority, executes an agreement in a form reasonably approved by the Authority pursuant to which such Related Party assumes and agrees to perform the obligations of Developer under this Agreement.
(b) If the Authority’s consent to a transfer is required pursuant to this Section 9.2, the Authority shall be entitled to require, as conditions to its approval of any sale, assignment, conveyance, use or transfer of any rights, title, and interest in and to this Agreement, the Property or the Project that:
(i) Any proposed transferee shall not be exempt from the payment of real estate taxes and shall have the qualifications and financial responsibility, as determined by the Authority, necessary and adequate to fulfill the obligations undertaken in this Agreement by 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 Developer (or such obligations of Developer as are applicable to the portion of the Project acquired) under this Agreement and agree to be subject to all the conditions and restrictions to which Developer is subject;
(iii) Developer must submit all instruments and other legal documents involved in effecting transfer to the Authority;
(iv) Developer and the transferee must comply with such other conditions as the Authority may find desirable in order to achieve and safeguard the purposes of the HRA Act and TIF Act, this Agreement, and the Project; and
(v) Developer and the transferee must demonstrate, in a manner satisfactory to the Authority, its ability to perform all assumed obligations in this Agreement.
(c) In the absence of specific written agreement by the Authority to the contrary, neither the transfer of the Project, or any portion thereof, prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion for the Project or the Authority’s consent to such a transfer will relieve Developer of its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the withdrawal, removal, transfer or replacement of the general partner of Developer, Edina Group LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (the “General Partner”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Developer, by and between the
Limited Partner and the General Partner, shall be permitted under this Agreement at no cost to Developer and shall not require the prior written consent of the Authority and shall not constitute
18 Redevelopment Agreement (Amundson Flats) 4819-0529-4004\6
an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, that Developer agrees to notify the
Authority of any proposed replacement general partner prior to replacement and, upon replacement, shall notify the Authority of the name and contact information of the replacement general partner with reasonable promptness. Further notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the interests of Limited Partner shall be freely transferable to any affiliate(s) of the Limited Partner without the consent or approval of the Authority.
9.3 Collateral Assignment to Mortgage Holder. Developer may collaterally assign Developer’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement to the holder of a Mortgage only pursuant to collateral assignment agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Authority provided that the Authority acknowledges that Developer has collaterally assigned its rights under this Agreement to U.S. Bank National Association (“Construction Lender”) pursuant to the mortgage executed by Developer in favor of Construction Lender.
Article X Events of Default and Remedies
10.1 Events of Default Defined. “Events of Default” under this Agreement include any one or more of the events listed in Sections 10.2 and 10.3.
10.2 Developer Events of Default. The following shall be Events of Default for Developer:
(a) Subject to Unavoidable Delays and Cure Rights, Developer’s failure to achieve
Commencement and Completion of the Project by the applicable dates set forth in Section 4.1.
(b) Subject to Unavoidable Delays and Cure Rights, Developer shall Default in its obligations with respect to the construction of the Project (including the nature and the date for the completion
of the various elements thereof), or shall abandon or substantially suspend construction work on the Project, and any such Default, violation, abandonment or suspension is not cured, ended or remedied within 30 days after written notice to do so or such longer amount of time if previously
agreed to by the Board in writing;
(c) there is, in violation of this Agreement, any conveyance, encumbrance or other transfer of the Property or any part thereof, and such violation is not cured within 30 days after written notice to do so;
(d) subject to Unavoidable Delay and Cure Rights, failure by Developer to observe or perform any other covenant, condition, obligation or agreement on its part to be observed or performed under this Agreement, the Trail Easement agreement, or any Affordable Housing Restrictive Covenant, and the continuation of such failure for a period of 30 days after written notice of such failure from any party hereto;
(e) if, prior to the delivery of the Certificate of Completion, Developer shall (i) file any petition in bankruptcy or for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution, or similar relief under the United States Bankruptcy Act of 1978, as amended or under any similar federal or State law; or (ii) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (iii) become insolvent or adjudicated a bankrupt; or if a petition or answer proposing the adjudication
of Developer, as a bankrupt or its reorganization under any present or future Federal bankruptcy act or any similar Federal or State law shall be filed in any court and such petition or answer shall not be discharged or denied within 90 days after the filing thereof; or a receiver, trustee or liquidator
of Developer, or of the Project, or part thereof, shall be appointed in any proceeding brought against
19 Redevelopment Agreement (Amundson Flats) 4819-0529-4004\6
Developer, and shall not be discharged within 90 days after such appointed, or if Developer shall
consent to or acquiesce in such appointment.
10.3 Authority Events of Default. Subject to Cure Rights and Unavoidable Delays, the failure of the Authority to observe or perform any covenant, condition, obligation or agreement on its part to be
observed or performed under this Agreement, and the continuation of such failure for a period of 30 days after written notice of such failure from any party hereto shall be an Event of Default for the Authority.
10.4 Cure Rights.
(a) If a Default occurs under Section 10.2(a), (b) or (d) or under Section 10.3 which reasonably requires more than 30 days to cure, such Default shall not constitute an Event of Default, provided that the curing of the Default is promptly commenced upon receipt by the defaulting party of the written notice of the Default, and with due diligence is thereafter continuously prosecuted to completion and is completed within a reasonable period of time, and provided that the defaulting party keeps the non-defaulting party well informed at all times of its progress in curing the Default; provided, however in no event shall such additional cure period for any Default extend beyond 90 days.
(b) Prior to exercise any remedies in connection with an Event of Default, the Authority must first comply with the provisions of this Section 10.4(b). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon receipt of written notice in accordance with Section 6.1
hereof, Limited Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any default of Developer hereunder and such cure shall be deemed to have been made by Developer hereunder. Independent of any cure period afforded to Developer, Limited Partner shall 30 days upon receipt of such written
notice to effectuate a cure of the Default, or, if said Default cannot reasonably be cured within such time, then Limited Partner shall have an additional period of time thereafter, not to exceed 90 days, to cure the Default so long as Limited Partner is diligently pursuing the same.
10.5 Authority Remedies on Developer Events of Default. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 10.6 below, whenever any Event of Default occurs by Developer, the Authority may take any one or more of the following actions:
(a) terminate this Agreement;
(b) suspend performance under this Agreement until it receives assurances from Developer or the holder of any Mortgage, deemed adequate by the Authority, that Developer or the holder of any Mortgage will cure the Event of Default and continue its performance under this Agreement;
(c) withhold the Certificate of Completion where such Event of Default relates to Completion of the Project or issuance of a Certificate of Completion;
(d) take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to the Authority to collect any payments due under this Agreement, or to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement, or covenant of Developer under this Agreement; and
(e) exercise any remedies normally available at law and in equity to enforce performance of this Agreement, including a right to specific performance.
10.6 Developer Remedies on Authority Events of Default. Whenever any unremedied Event of Default of the Authority occurs, Developer’s sole other legal and equitable remedy is an action to compel
20 Redevelopment Agreement (Amundson Flats) 4819-0529-4004\6
performance by the Authority. Developer shall have no right to assert any claim for monetary or other
compensatory damages against the City or Authority and will not be entitled to recover damages of any kind, including lost profits and direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.
10.7 No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Authority or
Developer is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies unless otherwise expressly stated, 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 or 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 X.
10.8 No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. If any agreement contained in this Agreement should be breached by any party and thereafter waived by another 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.
10.9 Reimbursement of Attorneys’ Fees. If Developer shall default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and the Authority shall employ attorneys or incur other reasonable expenses for the
enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement of Developer contained in this Agreement, the Authority in such action or enforcement shall be entitled to payment of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred therein.
Article XI Additional Provisions
11.1 Conflicts of Interest. No member of the Board or other official of the Authority shall have
any financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement, the Project, or any contract, agreement or other transaction contemplated to occur or be undertaken thereunder or with respect thereto, nor shall any such member of the governing body or other official participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which affects his or her personal interests or the interests of any corporation, partnership or association in which he or she is directly or indirectly interested. No member, official, or employee of the City or the Authority shall be personally liable to the City or the Authority in the event of any Default or breach by Developer of any obligations under the terms of this Agreement.

Introduction to the Affordable Multi-Family Housing Program (AHP)
Properties developed using financing from the City of Edina, or because of our policy for New
Multi-Family Affordable Housing, are subject to specific rules designed to ensure that
affordability pledges made by owners and developers remain available to very low and low
income tenants (30% to 60% of Area Median Income) throughout the required Period of
Affordability (the POA). This Guide is designed to assist owners and their agents with planning
and maintaining compliance with the local requirements associated with these rental
properties that include affordable units. This guide does not pertain to the Market Rate units.
It is the responsibility of City of Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority (hereafter the
“HRA”) to monitor the continuing compliance of affordable units in accordance with local policy
and governing agreements throughout the POA. The following procedures apply to all rental
properties that received funds or a Planned Unit Development (PUD) under the local policy on
New Multi-Family Affordable Housing (AHP). Any violation of the AHP requirements could
constitute a covenant default of the governing agreement(s) and imposition of all local
government rights and remedies.
While successful operation of an affordable property is management intensive, the
owner/agent is responsible for ensuring that the governing agreement requirements are
properly administered. Thorough understanding of requirements and compliance monitoring
procedures requires training of owners/agents. The owner/agent should ensure that it knows
and understands the requirements of the affordable housing policy and the compliance
requirements since failure to comply may have very serious consequences. The HRA
recommends that owners, management agents and site managers (collectively referred to as
“owner/agent” throughout this document) receive compliance training before certifying or
leasing any affordable units. At a minimum, training should cover key compliance terms,
determination of rents, household eligibility, file documentation, procedures for maintaining
the required unit mix and reporting. Record retention and property condition standards are
also key to maintaining compliance. Attending educational opportunities as offered is strongly
recommended to keep up with any procedural changes to the AHP.
Should the AHP assisted property also receive an allocation of Section 42 tax credits (Low
Income Housing Tax Credits or LIHTC), and the property is found to be compliant with the tax
credit program, then the HRA will consider the property compliant with the AHP.
Owners/Agents of AHP assisted properties must annually certify to the HRA that the property
is compliant with the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program.
The HRA’s determination to monitor the project for compliance with requirements of the AHP
does not make it liable for an owner’s/agent's noncompliance. This Guide will be made
available to the owner/agent at project financial closing and will be posted on the City’s
website. The HRA, in its sole discretion, may delegate its compliance reporting and monitoring
responsibilities to a third-party. AHP assisted properties will have a compliance review at initial
lease up and every third (3rd) year thereafter. However, the HRA reserves the right to conduct a
March 2020 Page 5 of 31
compliance review annually. During the compliance review, the HRA or third-party monitoring
agent, will ensure compliance against City Agreements by inspecting records of residential
student status, income and asset documentation, and rent record for each resident household
for all project’s AHP assisted units. The first review for new projects will occur no later than the
end of the second year of the period of affordability.
Chapter 1 – Overview of Affordable Housing Program Policy
The following is an overview the Affordable Housing Policy. It is not intended to be detailed or
comprehensive. The requirements of the AHP apply to market rate residential developments
that receive a PUD approval from the City of Edina and/or financial assistance from the HRA.
This includes new developments and mixed-used developments that create twenty (20) or
more multi-family dwelling units and/or any change in use of all or part of an existing building
from a non-residential use to a residential use that includes at least twenty (20) dwelling units.
1.01 Period of Affordability (POA)
Affordable units created under the Affordable Housing Policy (AHP) are rent and income
controlled for a minimum of 20 years with a maximum established by the funding source and
reflected in the binding agreement. This term is referred to as the Period of Affordability or
POA.
Owners/agents should refer to the property’s governing agreements, at project commitment,
to determine the specific terms and conditions that govern the property, as the affordability
period was increased from 15 years to 20 years in March 2019.
Project Commitment is a schedule of commitments within the project’s Financing Agreement(s)
between the parties hereto, such as the authorizing Resolution, Development Agreement
and/or Loan Documents, dated as of the Execution Date and their related agreements.
1.02 Affordable Dwelling Units (ADUs)
At least ten percent (10%) to twenty percent (20%) of the total number of dwelling units in a
development receiving a PUD and/or assisted with local funds under the AHP will be designated
as Affordable Dwelling Units (ADUs). The percentage applied is based on the affordability
standard of the development.
Affordability Standards – Rental Projects
If an AHP property also is assisted with Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), the AHP
Affordability Standard is based on the LIHTC election (Income Averaging, 20/50 or 40/60 set
aside).
If an AHP property is NOT assisted with LIHTC, then the HRA together with the owner will
determine which affordability standard applies. The legal document executed with the HRA
determines the standard.
March 2020 Page 6 of 31
10% at 50%
At least ten percent (10%) of total units developed shall be occupied by households at or below
fifty percent (50%) of the MTSP (Multifamily Tax Subsidy Income Limits, i.e. tax credit income
limits).
20% at 60%
At least twenty percent (20%) of total units developed shall be occupied by households at or
below sixty percent (60%) of the MTSP.
Affordability Standards – For Sale Projects
At least ten percent (10%) of total units developed shall be affordable for households as
follows:
1-2 person household $100,000
3+ person household $115,000
Adjusted annually by Minnesota Housing as posted on their website.
1.03 Student Households
AHP adopted the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program restrictions on student
participation found at 24 CFR 5.612 and excludes any individual that:
1. Is enrolled in a higher education institution;
AND
2. Is under the age of 24; and
3. Is not a veteran of the US Military; and
4. Is not married*; and
5. Does not have a dependent child(ren); and
6. Is not a person with disabilities; and
7. Is not otherwise individually eligible, or has parents who, individually or jointly, are not
eligible on the basis of income
* Effective August 1, 2013 same-sex marriages are recognized as marriages for student
eligibility purposes.
1.04 New Multi-Family Affordable Housing Program (AHP) Rent Limits
Every ADU is subject to maximum allowable rents based on bedroom size for the area in which
the property is located. These maximum rents are referred to as the AHP rents. These limits
represent the maximum that owners/agents can charge for rent, including an allowance for
March 2020 Page 7 of 31
tenant paid utilities, and other non-optional charges (i.e. parking, required renter’s insurance,
etc.). AHP will utilize the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development annually
published median income amounts for all Minnesota counties. Minnesota Housing uses these
amounts to calculate the maximum allowable rents and tenant income. Minnesota Housing
publishes the LIHTC income and rent limits on its website and notifies owners/agents of the
updated limits as they become available. According to AHP, the date a Certificate of Occupancy
is issued to a building will determine which rent and income limits to use. Minnesota Housing
provides different tables (Table A, B, C, etc.) of income and rent limits based on your Certificate
of Occupancy dates and updates these tables annually. To avoid noncompliance, be sure you
are using the correct limits table.
In the event AHP rent limits decrease for an area, or utility allowances increase, an
owner/agent may be required to reduce the rent charged but will not be required to lower
rents below those in effect at the time when the Development Agreement was signed by the
City.
1.05 Rental Assistance
Tenant Based Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. Tenants with Section 8 vouchers, or similar
state or federal tenant based rental assistance (TBRA) subsidies tied to a tenant and not a unit,
may be charged rent that exceeds the applicable AHP rent for the unit to an extent allowed by
HUD, Metro HRA, and/or the most restrictive funding source. ADUs layered with tenant or
project based rental assistance qualify households using the Very Low-Income limits (<50%) and
the household pays no more than 30% of its monthly adjusted income for rent; ADU rent
therefore remains affordable.
Tenants receiving rental assistance, including Section 8 subsidy, must not be refused tenancy in
an ADU based solely on the fact that they receive rental assistance. For eligibility purposes, the
tenant selection plan must indicate that household income does not need to equal at least two
times the unit rent (or any variation thereof) as long as the published Payment Standard
subsidy can cover the project’s intended rent. The HRA annually publishes Payment Standards
(a rent limit for using a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher. Payment standards are set by each
housing authority. They differ for bedroom size and property location).
1.06 Allowable Fees and Charges
Fees considered reasonable and customary may be charged, such as application fee, if such fees
are customary for rental housing in the neighborhood. Fees for parking or services such as bus
transportation or meals can only be charged if the services are voluntary and are not a
condition of occupancy. An eligible tenant cannot be charged a fee for the owner or manager’s
work involved in completing the additional forms or documentation required for the AHP, such
as the Resident Income Certification.
Down payment fees/rent deposit for the ADU should not exceed one month’s rent.
March 2020 Page 8 of 31
1.07 Fixed or Floating Affordable Dwelling Units
ADUs may be “fixed” or “floating” and are designated on a property-by-property basis. The
enforcement agreement must contain fixed or floating unit designations.
Fixed Units – The ADUs are identified by unit number and never change. Development
Agreements may outline a specific quantity of bedroom sizes and square footage, including
minimum floor space, when considering the placement of ADUs within the project. Units in
properties where all units are ADUs automatically are considered fixed.
If units throughout a project are not comparable (as defined by the HRA) or are in several
scattered sites, the ADU unit designation must be fixed.
Floating Units – The ADUs may change over time as long as the total number of ADUs and
specific quantity of bedroom sizes or ADU total square footage in the property remains
compliant with the original Development Agreement. If a property’s enforcement agreement
does not specify floating units, then the units that were initially designated as ADUs at project
completion will be used to determine comparable floating units.
See Chapter 2, Maintaining the Unit Mix, for more information.
1.08 Rent Increases
If ADU rents remain below the maximum allowed, an owner/agent may impose a rent increase
as allowed by the enforcement agreement no earlier than one year from the date the project
was completed (date the building Certificate of Occupancy was issued) and no more frequently
than once a year thereafter. If an owner/agent wishes to increase rents, the request must be
within reasonable limits to cover increases in expenses such as real estate taxes or operating
expenses. At no time can proposed rent increases exceed the current MTSP (LIHTC rents) rent
limits for that development.
If the owner/agent increases rents as provided above, tenants must be given a written notice
90 days in advance or in accordance with lease provisions before implementation.
1.09 Utility Allowances
The AHP requires that an allowance for tenant paid utilities be considered as a housing cost to
the tenant and be factored in when determining rent for an ADU. The HRA approved the use of
Metro HRA’s Utility Allowance Schedule (effective 2/1/18 and amended annually) as the
document to use to determine an ADU’s utility allowance. Utility allowance schedules are
usually updated annually. It is the owner’s/agent’s responsibility to obtain an updated utility
allowance and retain it in the property records. Changes in utility allowances must be
implemented within 90 days of the publication effective date. If an increase in the utility
allowance causes the ADU rent to exceed the applicable AHP rent limit, the unit rent must be
adjusted (lowered) to bring the gross rent of the unit into compliance with the AHP rent limits.
However, at no time will the ADU rent be adjusted to an amount lower than the ADU rent in
place at project commitment.
March 2020 Page 9 of 31
An alternative estimate for utility payments may be used, as allowed by Section 42 and
approved by the City. Utility allowance methodology change requests and all supporting
documentation must be emailed to the Affordable Housing Development Manager at the City
for approval. Requests for a change in the property's established utility allowance
methodology, to one of the approved utility allowance methodologies should reflect savings
from energy efficiency improvements in a manner that is fair to tenants, financially feasible for
owners and reduces long-term public subsidy expenditures.
General Submission Requirements
Each request for a change in utility allowance methodology must include:
1. Cover letter with the current utility allowance and proposed utility methodology
2. A current utility allowance schedule (i.e. local Metro HRA Utility chart) completed with
tenant paid utilities
3. Copy of 90-day Notice to the resident including new Utility Allowance and Tenant Rent
4. Utility Allowance Certification, signed and dated
5. Supporting documentation as required (estimate from a properly licensed engineer for
example)
Allowable Utility Allowance Methodologies
The property owner may request to use one or more of the following utility allowance
methodologies that meets the AHP requirements. If the project has multiple funding sources,
the rents must comply with the program gross rent limits for each program. If the project also
has Section 8 Project Based Assistance, the PBA administrator determines the UA schedule for
the unit.
PHA Utility Method: The local PHA utility allowance for the voucher program. This is the typical
current method of establishing Utility Allowances used by most Section 42 LIHTC projects.
Owners may request consideration of a different utility allowance methodology from the
following alternatives:
1. HUD Utility Schedule Model (HUSM): An estimate calculated via HUD’s online Utility
Schedule Model, using recent utility rates. The HUSM enables users to calculate utility
schedules using a project specific methodology by entering the property housing type,
and utility rate information (tariffs) for the property location. This model is based on
climate and survey information from the U. S. Energy Information Administration of the
Department of Energy and it incorporates energy efficiency and Energy Star data. The
HUSM (web based and Excel format) and use instructions can be accessed on the HUD
Exchange website User at: https://www.hudexchange.info/trainings/courses/hud-
utility-schedule-model-calculating-utilityallowances-for-home-webinar1/
2. Utility Company Estimate (UCE): An estimate from a local utility company providing the
estimated cost of utilities for a unit of similar size and construction for the project or
from the geographic area where the project is located.
3. Energy Consumption or Engineered Model (ECM): An estimate from a properly licensed
engineer, or qualified professional, using an energy consumption model that takes into
March 2020 Page 10 of 31
account the unit size, building orientation, design and materials, mechanical systems,
appliances and characteristics of the building location. If the ECM report is completed by
a qualified professional that is not a properly licensed engineer, the request must
include additional information to support the qualifications and experience of the
qualified professional in providing energy consumption utility allowance reports. The
engineer or qualified professional must be licensed in Minnesota.
If the property is regulated by HUD, or another form of project-based subsidy, the program-
approved utility allowance may be used.
1.10 Record Retention
Owners/agents must retain each household’s initial application forms including household
income and asset documentation and lease and leasing agreements/addenda for three (3)
years after the tenant’s move out effective date.
Owners/agents must maintain applicant and tenant information in a way to ensure
confidentiality. Any applicant or tenant affected by negligent disclosure or improper use of
information may bring a civil action for damages against the owner/agent and seek other relief,
as appropriate. Owners/agents must dispose of records in a manner that will prevent any
unauthorized access to personal information, e.g., burn, pulverize, shred, etc.
1.11 Leases
Each lease must include the legal name(s) of the parties to the agreement and all other
occupants, a description of the unit to be rented (address), the term of the lease, the rental
amount, the use of the premises, and the rights and obligations of each party. The lease shall
also inform the tenant that fraudulent statements and information are grounds for eviction and
that the tenant could become subject to penalties available under federal law.
Initial leases for ADUs must be for 12 months unless another term is agreed to mutually by
owner/agent and tenant. If tenant agrees to a shorter term, that agreement must be in writing
and kept in the tenant’s file. At no time can a lease term be for less than 30 days.
ADU leases must contain language that the owner/agent reserves the right to adjust tenant
rents in accordance with the AHP rent limits and/or in the event a tenant’s income increases
above the income limits of the AHP.
The lease also must contain a provision that the owner/agent retains the right to recertify the
tenant’s income and household composition on an annual basis. The tenant’s failure to
cooperate with the annual recertification constitutes a violation of the lease.
If the lease used for the ADU unit does not contain any of the required provisions and/or
contains any prohibited provisions, an AHP Lease Addendum must be signed by the tenant and
March 2020 Page 11 of 31
kept in the tenant’s file. If a new lease is executed, a new AHP Lease Addendum also must be
executed. Prohibited lease terms are defined in the AHP Lease Addendum (see Appendix B).
Owner/Agent may not evict or terminate resident (including refusal to renew a lease) without
good cause. Good cause is (a) serious or repeated violation(s) of the material terms and
conditions of the Resident Lease. Use of the AHP Lease Addendum including the AHP Lease
Rider outlining provisions on evictions and terminations is mandatory.
During the final year of the POA, new leases for the Affordable Units must be for a term of no
less than six months, and such newly leased Affordable Units will be subject to all the
Affordable Housing Requirements until the expiration of such new leases.
An AHP Lease Addendum is not required when the HUD model lease for subsidized housing is
used.
1.12 Income Certification
The owner/agent must verify and certify tenant income eligibility and student status at move in
and recertify at least annually thereafter. At initial move in, or when first being determined
eligible for an ADU and in every 3rd year of the affordability period (not tenancy), household
composition, income and income from assets must be verified via third-party verification or
other forms of supporting documentation and kept in the tenant’s file. In other years, tenants
must, at a minimum, self-certify to their anticipated income (including income from assets),
family size, and composition.
As part of the monitoring process, tenant files will be reviewed at initial occupancy of the
project and every 3rd year thereafter.
1.13 Increases in Income
The owner/agent must ensure that any household whose anticipated gross income exceeds
140% of the maximum income limit at recertification pays not less than the market or similar
rent as the other non-ADUs in the development. A minimum notice of 60 days is required for
increases to tenant rent. The unit must be marketed to eligible tenants when vacated. If the
units are floating, the rent is increased, and the next available unit must be rented at affordable
rates to an income eligible tenant. Conversely, the tenant whose income increase to above
140% of AMI could be relocated to a Market Rate unit if the affordable units are fixed.
For units assisted with both AHP funds and Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), a tenant is
not considered over income until income exceeds the applicable 140% LIHTC limit. When a
tenant’s income exceeds the 140% LIHTC limit, the tenant’s rent is adjusted to the LIHTC rent
limit if the project is 100% LIHTC or, if the project is mixed income, to the market rent for
similar non-ADUs in the property.
1.14 Property Standards
March 2020 Page 12 of 31
The owner/agent must keep all units in compliance with local codes and other applicable state
and local building codes to ensure the units are decent, safe, and sanitary at all times.
1.15 Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan
Owners/agents must adhere to Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Marketing, and Fair Housing
practices in all marketing efforts, eligibility determinations and other transactions. The Equal
Housing Opportunity logo or statement must be used in all advertising of vacant units (We do
business in accordance with the Federal Fair Housing Law. It is illegal to discriminate against
any person because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin).
In addition to the federal protections mentioned above, the Minnesota Human Rights Act
makes it illegal to discriminate against any person with respect to housing and real property,
because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, disability, status with
regard to public assistance, sexual orientation or familial status.
A file must be maintained with all marketing efforts related to the property including
newspaper ads, social service contacts, photos of signs posted, etc. Records will be reviewed
during on site monitoring to ensure that all efforts follow federal requirements and are being
adequately documented.
1.16 Fair Lease and Grievance Procedures
Fair lease and grievance procedures should be objective. They should clearly state:
• To whom a tenant should direct a complaint;
• Who will investigate and/or respond to the complaint; and
• By when the tenant should expect to receive a response. Chapter 2 – Maintaining the
Unit Mix
March 2020 Page 13 of 31
Chapter 2 – Maintaining the Unit Mix
2.01 Fixed Affordable Dwelling Units
Properties with units that are not comparable in terms of size, amenities and features must
have fixed ADUs. Fixed ADUs means specific units are designated as the ADUs for the duration
of the affordability period. Owner/Agent must maintain these specific units as the ADUs.
Maintaining the required number of ADUs, is called complying with the unit mix requirements.
At no time will non-ADUs be subject to AHP rent and income requirements when the ADUs are
fixed.
When an owner/agent recertifies a tenant’s income, the tenant’s income may have increased.
A tenant is considered “over income” in the AHP when:
• The tenant occupies an ADU and the tenant income increases to 140% of the current
income limit for that family size; or
• For ADUs that are also LIHTC units, a tenant is considered “over income” when its
income goes over 140% of the qualifying tax credit election (Average Income, 50% or
60%) for that unit.
When a tenant is over income, the unit that the tenant occupies is considered temporarily out
of compliance with the AHP’s occupancy and unit mix requirements. Temporary
noncompliance due to an increase in an existing tenant’s income is permissible if the
owner/agent takes specific steps to restore the correct unit mix in the property as soon as
possible. When the tenant’s income exceeds the AHP’s income limit (140%), the unit rent also
must be adjusted.
The owner/agent cannot terminate the lease immediately if the tenant’s income has increased
above the AHP income limit. Instead, the owner/agent may extend /renew the lease for up to
six months. If the tenant remains over income at the time of the next recertification, a 60-day
notice to vacate may be issued to the tenant. If the tenant is determined to be under the AHP
income limit at the time of recertification, the unit is considered back in compliance.
2.02 Floating Affordable Dwelling Units
Properties with units that are comparable in terms of size, amenities and features can have
floating ADUs. Properties with floating ADUs must maintain the required number of ADUs
throughout the POA; however, the initial ADUs do not have to remain as ADUs throughout the
POA.
When ADUs float, the specific units that carry the ADU designation may change, or float, among
assisted and non-assisted units during the POA. If/when an initial ADU goes out of compliance
due to a tenant’s income going over the AHP (or LIHTC) income limit, a non-ADU can replace
the out of compliance ADU if the tenant income and unit rent of the non-ADU meet the ADU
requirements. In other words, the ADU designation “floats” to another unit.
March 2020 Page 14 of 31
For example, if a property has an over-income tenant in an ADU, when the next non-ADU
comparable unit becomes available, it will be designated as an ADU and rented to an income
eligible tenant. The unit occupied by the over income tenant is redesignated as a market rate
unit.
Maintaining the required number of comparable ADUs is called complying with the unit mix
requirements.
When recertifying a tenant’s income, an owner/agent may find that the tenant’s income has
increased. A tenant is considered “over income” when:
• The tenant occupies an ADU and the tenant income increases over the current AHP
income limit (140% AMI) for that family size; or
• In ADUs that are also LIHTC units, a tenant is considered “over income” when its income
increases to 140% or more of the qualifying tax credit election (50% or 60%) for that
unit.
When a tenant is over income, the unit that the tenant occupies is considered temporarily out
of compliance with the AHP’s unit mix requirements. Temporary noncompliance due to an
increase in an existing tenant’s income is permissible if the owner/agent takes specific steps to
restore the required unit mix in the property. The rents of the over income tenants can be
adjusted.
When redesignating units in a property with floating ADUs, owner/agent can choose to
substitute a unit that is equal or “greater” than the original ADU, but generally they cannot
substitute one that is “lesser”. A lesser unit can be substituted only when doing so preserves
the original unit mix. A greater unit is one that might be considered preferable because of
larger size or additional bedrooms. The goal is to maintain the same number and type of ADUs
as were designated originally. Therefore, if an owner/agent makes a substitution that is
“greater,” it later can substitute an available unit that is “lesser” to restore the original unit mix.
Once a comparable non-ADU unit is designated as the new ADU, the unit with the over income
tenant is redesignated as a non-ADU or market rate unit. At this point, the owner/agent may
adjust the tenant’s rent without regard to the AHP rent requirements (although requirements
from other funding sources still may apply). Rent increases are subject to the terms of the
lease.
Note, a tenant in a floating ADU whose income exceeds AHP income limit is not required to pay
more than the market rent for a comparable, unassisted unit in the property.
The owner/agent cannot terminate the lease based on the tenant’s increase in income.
March 2020 Page 15 of 31
Chapter 3 – General Occupancy Guidelines
3.01 Qualification of Applicants
Applicants for ADUs shall be advised early in their initial visit to the property that there are
maximum income limits that apply to these units. They also will be made aware that the
anticipated income of all persons expecting to occupy the unit must be verified and included on
a Resident Income Certification form prior to occupancy, and that tenant income and student
status will be reviewed annually.
If an individual is enrolled as a student at an institution of higher education, is under the age of
24, is not a veteran, is not married, is not a person with disabilities, and does not have a
dependent child, in order to be eligible for a ADU, the student must be individually income
eligible and the student’s parents (the parents individually or jointly) must be income eligible
unless the student can demonstrate his or her independence from parents.
AHP has adopted the section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program restrictions on student
participation found at 24 CFR 5.612, which exclude any student that:
1. Is enrolled in a higher education institution.
2. Is under the age of 24.
3. Is not a veteran of the US Military.
4. Is not married**.
5. Does not have a dependent child(ren).
6. Is not a person with disabilities.
7. Is not otherwise individually eligible, or has parents who, individually or jointly, are not eligible on
the basis of income.
**Effective August 23, 2013, same-sex marriages are recognized as marriages for student
eligibility purposes.
To determine a student’s independence from his or her parents, the owner should consider all of
the following:
1. The individual must be of legal contract age under state law; and
2. The individual must have established a household separate from parents or legal guardians for at
least one year prior to application for occupancy, or the individual must meet the U.S. Department
of Education’s definition of an independent student; and
3. The individual must not be claimed as a dependent by parents or legal guardians pursuant to IRS
regulations; and
4. The individual must obtain a certification of the amount of financial assistance that will be
provided by parents, signed by the individual/s providing the support. This certification is required
even if no assistance will be provided.
March 2020 Page 16 of 31
To document a student’s independence from parents:
1. Review and verify previous address information to determine evidence of a separate household,
or verify the student meets the U.S. Department of Education’s definition of “independent
student”; and
2. Review prior year income tax returns to verify if a parent or guardian has claimed the student as
a dependent (except if the student meets the Department of Education’s definition of “independent
student”); and
3. Verify income provided by a parent by requiring a written certification from the individual
providing the support. Certification is also required if the parent/s is providing no support to the
student. Financial assistance that is provided by persons not living in the unit is part of annual
income.
Verification of student eligibility must be maintained in the tenant file along with the income
certification.
3.02 Eligibility Determination
A fully completed Household Questionnaire is critical to an accurate determination of eligibility.
The information furnished on the application should be used as a tool to determine all sources
of anticipated income and assets.
After the tenant completes the Household Questionnaire, the owner/agent must have all
income verified by obtaining source documentation (award letters, offers of employment, W-
2’s, check stubs (not paycheck), bank statements, investment records, etc.) or by a third-party
(public agency, employer, financial institution). If total cash value of assets is less than $50,000,
assets can be self-certified using the Under $50,000 Certification. Assets exceeding $50,000
must be third-party verified. The application, income and asset verifications, and lease are to
be executed prior to move in. All occupants in an ADU must be certified and have a valid lease
on file. All household members age 18 and over must sign all required documents.
3.03 Change in Household Composition
If a tenant in an ADU (no LIHTC) wishes to have an additional person move into the unit within
the first 6 months of occupancy, the following steps must be taken:
1. The prospective tenant must complete a Household Questionnaire and allow time for
verification of income and assets as required of the initial tenant; and
2. The prospective tenant's income must be added to the current tenant's certification and
a determination made as to whether the new household is still within the AHP income
guidelines. If the new household income exceeds the guidelines, then once proper
notice is given, the tenant must pay the market rate. If the ADU is floating, the ADU
designation must be floated to another eligible unit. The new rent of the now over
income household cannot exceed market rent for a comparable unassisted unit.
The tenant file shall also be documented when any household member vacates the unit.
March 2020 Page 17 of 31
3.04 Minimum Lease Requirements
Initial tenant leases, including a signed and dated AHP lease addendum (if applicable), must be
on file and must specify a term of at least 12 months. Subsequent leases may have a shorter
term, with written mutual agreement. Leases must not contain any of the prohibited lease
terms. Any non-renewal or termination of leases must be in accordance with the lease and/or
AHP lease addendum.
Owners/agents must comply with the lease requirements found in Section 601 of the Violence
Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA) of 2013. HRA highly encourages owners/agents to
use the VAWA Lease Addendum, form HUD-91067 or its successor VAWA Lease Addendum
form. In general, owner/agent may not construe an incident of actual or threatened domestic
violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking as a serious or repeated violation of a lease
term by the victim, or threatened victim, as good cause for terminating tenancy. However, in
accordance with VAWA 2013, owner/agent may bifurcate a lease to terminate the tenancy of
an individual who is a tenant or lawful occupant and engages in criminal activity directly
relating to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking against another lawful
occupant living in the unit or other affiliated individual as defined in the VAWA 2013.
Owner/Agent should include a copy of HUD-5382 form with each tenancy termination or
eviction notice to allow an individual to certify that he or she is a victim of domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault or stalking. The form is to be completed and submitted to
owner/agent within 14 business days or an agreed upon extension date for the individual to
receive protection under the VAWA.
3.05 House Rules
Developing a set of house rules is a good practice. The decision about whether to develop
house rules for a property rests solely with the owner/agent. If house rules are listed in the
lease as an attachment, then they must be attached to the lease. By identifying allowable and
prohibited activities in housing units and common areas, the owner/agent provides a structure
for treating tenants equitably and for making sure tenants treat each other with
consideration. House rules also are beneficial in keeping properties safe and clean and making
them more appealing and livable for the tenants. They also are extremely beneficial if it
becomes necessary to evict a tenant for inappropriate behavior. For more information on
House Rules, refer to Chapter 6-9 of the HUD 4350.3 REV 1, Change 4 Handbook.
3.06 Number of Persons Per Unit
There is no federal regulation governing the number of persons allowed to occupy a unit based
on size; however, at initial occupancy ADUs will have a minimum requirement of at least one
person per bedroom. It is important, though, to be consistent when accepting or rejecting
applications. It is required that the owner/agent determine the minimum and maximum
number of people that will be allowed to occupy each size unit and put that formula in writing
as part of the Tenant Selection Plan and submit the Plan to the HRA or designated agent for
approval. The owner/agent may refer to the HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV 1, Change 4, Chapter
March 2020 Page 18 of 31
3-23, regarding occupancy standards. By following the standards described, owners/agents can
ensure that applicants and tenants are housed in appropriately sized units in a fair and
consistent manner.
3.07 Tenant Selection Plan
Owner/Agent must develop a formal written policy that clearly states the procedures and
criteria the owner/agent will consistently apply in drawing applicants from the waiting list,
screening for suitability for tenancy, and implementing income targeting requirements. The
Tenant Selection Plan must state if there is an elderly restriction (“seniors only” building).
In accordance with the VAWA of 2013, the selection criteria cannot deny admission on the basis
that the applicant has been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or
stalking. Owner/Agent should provide to each applicant/tenant HUD form 5382or its successor
form to allow the applicant/tenant to provide information regarding his or her status as a victim
of domestic violence, dating violence or stalking.
Owners/agents may refer to the HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV 1, Change 4, Chapter 4, when
developing a tenant selection plan. HRA will review the Tenant Selection Plan as part of its
monitoring process.
3.08 Government Data Practices Act Disclosure Statement Form
In working with applicants and tenants, the owner/agent warrants compliance with applicable
data privacy laws and regulations including the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act,
which sets policies on the information that can be obtained, stored and/or released in
connection with public programs. To comply with this law, the AHP Government Data Practices
Act Statement form must be kept in each tenant's permanent file. Note that this is not a
release authorization for verification of income and assets and must not be used as such. Each
adult household member’s name must be printed clearly at the top in the box provided. An
unsigned and/or undated form is not valid and will be noted as insufficient at time of file
inspection.
1. The form is to be signed one time and is valid as long as the resident lives at the
property and participates in the program(s) identified in item #2 on page 1 of the form.
If a resident moves from one unit to another, the original signed and dated form should
be moved to the file for the new unit. A copy should be kept in the move out file for the
old unit.
2. A valid form must include all relevant attachments. Some properties or units within a
property may require 2 or more attachments for multiple programs.
3. Only one form is needed per unit as long as the head of household, spouse, co-head,
and all household members over the age of 18 have signed and dated the form.
4. If an adult is added to the household or a minor reaches age 18, they must be added to,
sign, and date the original form. It is not necessary to complete a new form.
5. A copy of the form should be made available to the applicant/tenant. It is acceptable to
give them an unsigned copy.
6. For new residents, the form should be completed at the time of initial application.
March 2020 Page 19 of 31
A Government Data Practices Act Disclosure form that can be used for all ADUs is available on
the HRA website.
3.09 Income Verification
At initial occupancy, owner/agent must determine whether prospective tenant(s) of ADUs
qualify as low income households. Income eligibility is based on anticipated income as defined
at 24 CFR 5.609 (Section 8). When collecting income verification documentation, owner/agent
must consider any likely changes in income. Owner/Agent must follow appropriate steps in
determining whether households are eligible prior to admittance.
Minnesota Housing provides sample verifications and other forms to assist owners/agents in
qualifying eligible tenants. The release of information (at top of form) must be completed and
signed by the person who is the subject of the verification prior to sending the form to an
employer or other income source. Completed and returned verifications are used to calculate
and document income.
An Income and Asset Calculation Worksheet form also is available and can be used to assist in
showing the individual calculations of income and asset income. This is highly recommended
and will assist an inspector during a file review. This form should be dated and signed by the
owner/agent.
3.10 Gross Annual Household Income
Gross annual income for households living in ADUs shall be determined in a manner consistent
with Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
Note that the information below only provides a summary. Owners and managers must use
current circumstances to project income, unless verification forms or other verifiable
documentation indicate that an imminent change will occur. For guidance in this section and in
determination of tenant income, the HUD Handbook 4350.3, Occupancy Requirements of
Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs, is used and is recommended as a reference guide.
The HUD Handbook 4350.3 and HUD notices can be obtained by visiting HUD’s website:
http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/administration/hudclips/handboo
ks/h sgh/4350.3.
The determination of annual income must include all types of income in the amount
anticipated to be received by the tenant in the 12 months following certification/
recertification. Owner/Agent should use current circumstances to project income, unless
verification forms or other verifiable documentation indicate that a change will occur
(increase/decrease in rate of pay and/or hours). However, if the owner/agent is unable to
determine annual income using current information because the family reports little to no
income, or because income fluctuates, the owner/agent may average past actual income
received or earned within the last 12 months before the certification date to calculate annual
income.

3.11 Factors that Affect Household Size
When determining family size for occupancy, the owner/agent must include the following
individuals who currently are not living in the unit:
• Children temporarily absent due to placement in a foster home;
• Children in joint custody arrangements who are present in the household 50% or more
of the time;
• Children who are away at school but who live with the family during school recesses;
• Unborn children of pregnant women. When a pregnant woman is an applicant, the
unborn child is included in the size of the household and is included for purposes of
determining the maximum allowable income. The rental application should ask the
following question: “Will there be any changes in household composition within the
next 12-month period?” If an applicant answers that a child is expected (birth, foster or
adoption), the owner/agent should explain to the applicant this is an additional
household member and use the corresponding income limit, and self-certification of
additional member should be used as documentation within the initial certification.
• Children who are in the process of being adopted;
• Temporarily absent family members who still are considered family members. For
example, the owner/agent may consider a family member who is working in another
state on assignment to be temporarily absent. Persons on active military duty are
considered temporarily absent (except if the person is not the head, co-head or spouse
or has no dependents living in the unit). If the person on active military duty is the
head, co-head, or spouse, or if the spouse or dependents of the person on active
military duty resides in the unit, that person’s income must be counted in full;
• Family members in the hospital or rehabilitation facility for periods of limited or fixed
duration. These persons are temporarily absent as defined above.
Persons permanently confined to a hospital or nursing home are not considered household
members.
When determining family size for establishing income eligibility, the owner/agent must include
all persons living in the unit except the following:
• Live-in aides
• Children of live-in aides
o A live-in aide/attendant is a person who resides with one or more elderly persons,
near-elderly persons, or persons with disabilities, and who:
Is determined to be essential to the care and well-being of the person(s);
Is not obligated for the support of the person(s); and
Would not be living in the unit except to provide the necessary
supportive services.
While a relative may be a live-in aide/attendant, s/he must meet the above requirements,
especially the last. The live-in aide qualifies for occupancy only if the individual needing
supportive services requires the aide’s services and remains a tenant. The live-in aide may not
March 2020 Page 21 of 31
qualify for continued occupancy as a remaining family member. The owner/agent must obtain
verification from the person’s physician, psychiatrist or other medical practitioner or health
care provider that the live-in aide is needed to provide the necessary supportive services
essential to the care and well-being of the person and should not add the attendant to the
lease. The owner/agent may not require applicants or tenants to provide access to confidential
medical records or to submit to a physical examination.
Some households may include other persons who are considered family members for the
purposes of determining household size and income eligibility, including:
• Foster adults
• Foster children
Please see Appendix A for more detail on whose income is counted, what is counted as income
and what is not, and how to account for income generated by assets.
3.12 General Income Verification Requirements
All income and asset sources must be disclosed on the eligibility application and verified. A
properly completed application must be used as the basis for determining what verifications
will be necessary. The application, along with all supporting documentation and the Resident
Income Certification, will be reviewed by HRA staff or its agent during a tenant file review.
The following describes the types of third-party verification in order of acceptability:
1. Third-party verification from source (written):
a. An original or authentic document generated by a third-party source that is
dated within six months from the date of receipt by the owner/agent.
Documents may be in possession of the tenant (or applicant), and commonly are
referred to as tenant provided documents. These documents are considered
third-party verification because they originated from a third-party source.
Examples of tenant provided documentation that may be used include, but are
not limited to: pay stubs, payroll summary report, employer notice/letter of
hire/termination, SSA benefit letter, bank statements, child support payment
stubs, welfare benefit letters and/or printouts, and unemployment monetary
benefit notices.
Owner/Agent must consider the following when using tenant provided
documentation:
i. Is the document current? Documentation of public assistance may be
inaccurate if it is not recent and does not show any changes in the
family’s benefits or work and training activities.
ii. Is the documentation complete? Owner/Agent may accept pay stubs to
document employment income only if the applicant or tenant provides
the most recent two months of consecutive pay stubs to illustrate
variations in hours worked. Actual paychecks or copies of paychecks
March 2020 Page 22 of 31
should never be used to document income because deductions are not
shown on the paycheck.
iii. Is the document an unaltered original? The greatest shortcoming of
tenant provided documents as a verification source is their susceptibility
to undetectable change through the use of high quality copying
equipment. Documents with original signatures are the most reliable.
Photocopied documents generally cannot be assumed to be reliable.
2. Written documentation sent directly to the third-party source by mail or electronically
by fax, email or internet.
Verification forms must contain a release authorization signed by the applicant/tenant.
Do not use a blanket release authorization as this entitles the owner/agent to obtain
information to which it is not entitled or needed for eligibility determination. The Data
Practices Act Disclosure Statement is not a verification release. Applicants should be
asked to sign two copies of each verification form. The second copy may be used if the
first request has not been returned in a timely manner.
Income verification requests must be sent directly to and from the source. They are
never given to the tenant to obtain signatures. If the returned verifications do not
contain complete information, owner/agent must follow up with the source to obtain
complete information. Typical examples include failure to indicate interest rates, dates
of anticipated raises, amounts of anticipated raises, etc. All pertinent information must
be documented in the file and must also include the name, phone number and title of
the contact, the name of the person accepting the information, and the date.
The single form AHP Eligibility Verification may be used to document income and asset
eligibility in lieu of separate verification(s) for each separate income or asset source, if
the sole source of income is Housing Support. The AHP Eligibility Verification confirms
receipt of Housing Support (formally known as GRH) since it identifies that the applicant
is in fact qualified for income-based Medical Assistance (MA) through Minnesota’s
Department of Human Services. (Housing Support recipients must have MA prior to
obtaining housing grant funding). MA eligibility documents AHP eligibility because the
Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) are significantly less than the LIHTC income limits.
NCCP.org (NCCP.org/tools/converter/) defines poverty as a family income less than 100
percent of the federal poverty threshold, as determined by the U.S. Census Bureau; Low
Income is defined as family income less than 200 percent of the poverty threshold.
3. Third-party verification from source (verbal).
When clarifying information over the telephone, it is important to be certain that the
person on the telephone is the party he or she claims to be. Generally, it is best to
telephone the verification source rather than to accept verification from a source calling
the property management office. Verbal verification must be documented in the file.
When verifying information by phone, the owner/agent must record and include in the
tenant’s file the following information:
March 2020 Page 23 of 31
a. Third-party’s name, position, and contact information;
b. Information reported by the third-party;
c. Name of the person who conducted the telephone interview; and
d. Date and time of the telephone call.
4. Self Certification
An owner/agent may accept a tenant’s notarized statement or signed affidavit regarding
the veracity of information submitted only if the information cannot be verified by
another acceptable verification method. In these instances, the owner/agent must
document the file why third-party verification was not available. The owner/agent may
witness the tenant signature(s) in lieu of a notarized statement or affidavit.
The following describes use of electronic information when used as third-party
verification.
Electronic Verification. The owner/agent may obtain accurate third-party written
verification by facsimile, email, or Internet, if adequate effort is made to ensure that the
sender is a valid third-party source.
a. Facsimile. Information sent by fax is most reliable if the owner/agent and the
verification source agree to use this method in advance during a telephone
conversation. The fax should include the company name and fax number of the
verification source.
b. Email. Similar to faxed information, information verified by email is more
reliable when preceded by a telephone conversation and/or when the email
address includes the name of an appropriate individual and firm.
c. Internet. Information verified on the Internet is considered third-party
verification if the owner/agent is able to view web-based information from a
reputable source on the computer screen. Use of a printout from the Internet
may also be adequate verification in many instances.
Steps used to obtain written verification as described in 1, 2 and 3 above must be documented
to show just cause for using other types of verification. The owner/agent must include the
following documents in the tenant file:
1. A written note explaining why third-party verification is not possible, signed and
dated by the applicant/resident.
2. A copy of the date-stamped original request that was sent to the third-party.
3. Written notes or documentation indicating follow up efforts to reach the third-party
to obtain verification.
4. A written note indicating the request has been outstanding without a response from
the third-party.
Note: If a tenant is employed by a business owned by the tenant's family or is employed by the
property owner/agent or the management company, a copy of a recent pay stub verifying year-
to- date earnings also is required.
March 2020 Page 24 of 31
Upon receipt of all verifications, owner/agent must determine if the resident is qualified for
participation in the AHP. All verifications should be reviewed, and calculations made as
necessary.
3.13 Corrections to Documents
Sometimes it is necessary to make corrections or changes to documents. A document that has
been altered with correction fluid or "white out" will not be accepted by HRA. When a change
is needed on a document, the person making the correction must draw a line through the
incorrect information, write or type the correct wording or number, and have all parties initial
and date the change.
3.14 Effective Term of Verifications
Verifications of any kind are valid for 6 months prior to an ADU tenant’s move in date or
recertification date.
3.15 Over Income Households
When determining eligibility to occupy an ADU, the household's gross income must always be
considered. However, if a tenant goes over the income guidelines of 140% of household
income at recertification, the owner/agent must raise the over income tenant’s rent to reflect
Fair Market Rent, or relocate tenant to a Market Rate Unit, as soon as the lease permits in
accordance with the terms of the lease (see Chapter 2). The AHP does not require interim rent
adjustments.
3.16 Annual Recertification
All households occupying an ADU must be recertified at least annually from the date of
occupancy. Annual recertifications must be effective on or before the occupancy anniversary
date of the previous certification. Owner/Agent may align recertification dates with other
program certifications or so that all units in the property are recertified at one time during the
year. However, if a period of twelve (12) months passes without a recertification being
completed for any ADU, the unit is considered out of compliance. Owner/Management may
request an annual schedule whereby all tenants are recertified during the same month
however before making changes to schedule, an email request must be made, and approved by
the City first. The requirement to recertify is included in an ADU lease or addendum, tenant
refusal to comply can be considered a violation of the lease and is grounds for termination.
Income must be third-party verified in every 3rd year of the affordability period, not tenancy.
Example: Every Third Year Full Certification
Property ABC received Certificate of Occupancy on 11/1/2019
Period of Affordability (POA) for Property ABC will be a total of 15 years starting on
11/1/2019 and ending on 11/1/2034
March 2020 Page 25 of 31
Amanda Johnson Moved onto Property ABC on 12/1/2019
In 2019 (POA Year One): Management verifies income using SSA Benefits Award Letter, a copy
of Amanda’s current PERA Benefit Letter (Pension Public Employees Retirement Association
of Minnesota) and Under $50,000 Asset Verification to determine eligibility at Move In. All
items must be third-party verified using source documents.
In 2020 (POA Year Two): Amanda Johnson needs to complete her Annual Recertification but in
POA Year Two for Property ABC, only a self-certification of income and asset, signed by all adult
household members is needed. Use of the AHP Self-Certification of Income & Asset form can be
used instead of third-party verifications during this non-3rd year. Note: Move In certifications
for eligibility must always third-party verify using source documents.
In 2021 (POA Year Three): Amanda Johnson needs to complete her Annual Recertification but
in POA Year Three for Property ABC, only a self-certification of income and asset, signed by all
adult household members is needed. Use of the AHP Self-Certification of Income & Asset form
can be used instead of third-party verifications during this non-3rd year. Note: Move In
certifications for eligibility must always third-party verify using source documents.
In 2022 (Year Four): The Annual Recertification requirement for this POA year at Property ABC
states all income and assets reported by a household must be third-party verified using source
documents. The AHP Self-Certification of Income & Asset is not eligible for use for any ADU at
Property ABC.
3.17 Tenant Files
Owner/Agent must maintain a tenant file for each ADU. All permanent documents must be
kept together so they are accessible at each compliance review (income certification and
supporting documentation, lease/AHP addendum, etc.). Annual recertification information,
including the tenant questionnaires, release forms, verifications, and annual inspection reports
must be grouped together by year, with the most recent year on top for review.
The tenant files must contain the following:
• HRA Government Data Practices Act Statement
• Household Questionnaire
• Acceptable verifications of income and assets
• Verification of student eligibility if applicable
• Resident Income Certification (Initial Certification and Annual Recertifications)
• Signed lease agreement and AHP addendum (if needed)
• Lead based paint acknowledgements (rental rehabilitation only; built pre-1978)
All move out files should also contain the following:
• Written 30-day (or greater) notice to vacate (if not available – document in file)
March 2020 Page 26 of 31
• Security deposit refund (check number and date) or letter of intent to withhold security
deposit within 14 days of move out
Tenant records, including income verifications and development rents must be retained for the
most recent three year period after the tenant moves out.
March 2020 Page 27 of 31
Chapter 4 – Reporting Requirements
The owner/agent must maintain a report of all tenants residing in each ADU at the time of
application through the end of the affordability period and must submit annual reports to HRA
in a form and manner requested by HRA.
Annual compliance reports are due to HRA by March 1 or as otherwise specified by HRA, of
each year during the affordability period. If the due date falls on a weekend or a holiday,
reports are due the following business day. Reports and other required documents must be
submitted as directed by HRA on an annual basis.
4.01 Annual Owner/Agent Certifications
Complete the Owner/Agent Certification to certify compliance with AHP requirements for the
preceding calendar year. Owner/Agent Certifications must be printed, signed and dated by the
authorized Owner/Agent Representative, then scanned and submitted as directed by HRA.
4.02 Compliance Reports
HRA or designated agents will monitor AHP compliance by reviewing annual Owner/Agent
Certifications and analyzing compliance information submitted by the owner/agent. Failure to
submit the Owner/Agent Certification and/or update the report on all units and their related
activity by the due date will constitute noncompliance with the AHP and the related loan
documents.
4.03 Utility Allowance Source Document
Owners/Agents must submit the utility allowance source documents applicable to the reporting
period. Multiple utility allowance source documents may apply to one reporting period.
March 2020 Page 28 of 31
Chapter 5 – Compliance Inspections
Compliance inspections (file reviews) will be conducted every 3 years. Inspections may be
conducted more frequently if HRA determines it to be necessary based on concerns raised
during a previous review or other information.
The compliance inspection includes, but is not limited to, an inspection of at least 20%, but up
to 50%, of the ADU tenant files (with a minimum of four (4) units).
HRA will contact the owner/agent in advance to schedule the tenant file review. The property
inspection and tenant file review may be conducted at the same time or may be conducted
separately by different HRA staff.
5.01 Physical Inspections
This program does not mandate inspections. Rental Licensing requires inspections every three
years.
5.02 Review of Tenant Files and Property Records
During the tenant file review, HRA staff will review Resident Income Certifications, third-party
verifications or other forms of income documentation, leases, lead based paint disclosure
forms, and other management information for selected units.
HRA staff will also review the following property information:
• Utility Allowances and supporting documentation
• Current written tenant selection plan, occupancy policy and/or house rules if changes
were made since the last review
• Current lease and lease addenda/agreement(s)
• Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan/Marketing Plans
• Advertising
• Equal Housing Opportunity posters, logos
• Correspondence
• Tenant ledgers for all units inspected
March 2020 Page 29 of 31
Chapter 6 – Correction and Consequences of Non-Compliance
If HRA does not receive the required certifications and/or compliance reports when due, or
discovers by audit, inspection, or review, or in some other manner, that the property is not in
compliance with the requirements of the AHP, or with the property’s loan documents, including
the enforcement agreement, the HRA will notify the owner/agent as soon as possible.
6.01 Notice to Owner/Agent
HRA or its designated agent will provide prompt written notice to the owner/agent of an AHP
property if HRA does not receive the annual Owner/Agent Certification and income and
occupancy report by the required due date. HRA or its designated agent also will notify the
owner/agent if it does not receive or is not permitted to inspect the Resident Income
Certifications, supporting documentation, and rent records, or discovers by inspection, review,
or in some other manner, that the property is not in compliance with the requirements of the
AHP or with the property’s loan documents, including the enforcement agreement.
6.02 Correction Period
The correction period of 30-days will be set forth in a Notice of Noncompliance to the owner
and its agent. HRA may extend the correction period if HRA determines there is good cause for
granting the extension. Requests for an extension must be in writing from the owner/agent,
must be received by HRA no later than the last day of the correction period identified on the
Notice of Noncompliance, and must include an explanation of the efforts to correct the
noncompliance and the reason the extension is needed.
6.03 Owner’s/Agent’s Response
HRA will review the owner’s/agent’s response and supporting documentation, if any, to
determine whether the noncompliance has been clarified, corrected or remains out of
compliance.
Clarified noncompliance is, for example, where income eligibility was not properly documented
and the inspector cannot make a reasonable determination that the unit is in compliance but
the owner/agent conducts a retroactive (re)certification which completely and clearly
documents the sources of income and assets that were in place at the time the certification
should have been effective, and applies income and rent limits that were in effect on that date.
If documentation is complete and supports that the tenant was eligible as of the effective date,
the file is considered clarified.
Corrected noncompliance is when a violation is observed and there is a period of time during
which the unit is out of compliance but the unit is brought back into compliance. For example,
a late certification or re-certification is out of compliance on the certification due date, and
back in compliance as of the date the last household member signs a retroactive Income
Certification.
March 2020 Page 30 of 31
Uncorrected noncompliance is a violation that is not corrected or clarified by the end of the
correction period.
Failure to correct all noncompliance could result in extension of the end of the POA, loss of Tax
Increment Financing, or LURC tax treatment or other legal remedies. Persistent noncompliance
also may impact the owner’s/agent’s eligibility for financing from the HRA under any or all its
programs.
March 2020 Page 31 of 31
Chapter 7 – Requests for Action
7.01 Sale or Transfer
Any property owner must provide prior written notice to the HRA before sale or transfer of the
property. The notice will provide that the new owner/agent acknowledges that the terms and
conditions of the Affordable Housing Program as set forth in the governing documents
recorded against the property remain in place.

RESIDENT NOTIFICATION LETTER
As a resident of (name of property), a property funded by the CITY OF
EDINA, MINNESOTA, a Minnesota statutory city, and the HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE
CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA, you have certain rights stated in your lease and the attached Lease Rider. Your
landlord must follow city and state rules for the Affordable Housing Program. One of the important protections
provided by federal law is that you cannot be evicted from your home or have your tenancy terminated without
good reason or “good cause.”
Your landlord may not evict you or terminate your tenancy (including refusing to renew your lease) without good
cause. Good cause is (a) serious or repeated violation(s) of the material terms and conditions of your lease. The
landlord must state, in writing, the good cause in any eviction, lease non-renewal or termination of tenancy
notice. If you did not do what your landlord claims in the notice, or if you think it was not serious enough for
your lease to be terminated or not renewed, you can ask the landlord if there is an appeal process. If there is no
appeal process, you may request that the termination be retracted and discuss your reasons why. If you receive a
notice of eviction, you have a right to contest the eviction in court by explaining to the judge why you disagree
with the reasons for terminating your lease. Visit www.lawhelpmn.org to see if you qualify for free or low-cost
legal assistance.
In addition, your landlord may not increase the amount of rent stated on your lease more than once annually.
The attached Lease Rider should already be signed by your landlord. You and all members of your household age
18 or older must also sign the Lease Rider in order to make it part of your lease.
The Lease Rider needs to be signed each time you sign a new lease. If at any time additional adult household
members enter the unit or a child who lives in that unit turns 18, they should add their signature to the existing
Lease Rider with the current date.
Your landlord also has a legal obligation to comply with the statutory requirements found in Section 601 of the
Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA).
Under VAWA, you may not be denied admission, denied assistance, terminated from participation, or evicted on
the basis that you are or have been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking, if you
otherwise qualify for admission, assistance, participation or occupancy.
You should have received the following when you were approved for occupancy or at some time during your
occupancy:
•HUD Form 5380 – Notice of Occupancy Rights under the Violence Against Women Act; and
•HUD Form 5382 – Certification of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking, and
Alternate Documentation.
The landlord must also include these documents with any notice of eviction, lease non-renewal or termination of
tenancy. You may also have signed a VAWA Lease Addendum.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact your resident manager,
, or your landlord at (phone and email).
Sincerely ,

Form of Affordable Housing Restrictive Covenant
DECLARATION OF COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS (Affordable Housing)
THIS DECLARATION OF COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS (this “Declaration”) is made as of the _____ day of ______________, 2020, by AMUNDSON FLATS, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a
Minnesota limited partnership (“Declarant”).
Recitals
A. Declarant is the owner of certain real property situated in the city of Edina (the “City”), county of Hennepin, state of Minnesota, located at 7075-7079 Amundson Avenue and legally described in the attached Exhibit A (the “Property”).
B. Declarant and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Edina, Minnesota, a public body corporate and politic organized and existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota (the “Authority”) are parties to that certain Redevelopment Agreement dated June 11, 2020 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Redevelopment Agreement”).
C. The Redevelopment Agreement provides for the redevelopment of the Property by Declarant with the cooperation and assistance of the Authority and provides for the expenditure of certain
public funds to assist in such redevelopment of the Property and construction thereon of a four-story, 62-unit, 100% affordable, “workforce” housing community, known as “Amundson Flats” (the “Project”).
D. The City, by Resolution No 2020-27, dated February 19, 2020, approved Declarant’s
development plan and rezoning for the Project (“Approvals”).
E. Pursuant to the Redevelopment Agreement and as a condition to the Approvals, Declarant has agreed to impose certain restrictive covenants upon the Property to ensure that at least 100% of the
housing units within the Project will remain affordable to certain low-income persons and households (“Affordable Units”).
F. Declarant, under this Declaration, intends, declares, and covenants that the restrictive covenants set forth herein governing the use, occupancy, and transfer of the Project shall be and are covenants running with the Property for the Term stated herein and binding upon all subsequent owners of the Property for such Term, and are not merely personal covenants of Declarant.
G. Capitalized terms in this Declaration have the meaning provided in the Redevelopment Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, Declarant makes the following Declaration, hereby specifying that said Declaration shall constitute covenants to run with the land and shall be binding on all parties in interest and their respective successors and assigns:
1. Use Restriction. The Property shall not be used for any purpose other than a multifamily rental housing facility and related activities meeting the requirements set forth in Section 2 hereof, without
H-2 4825-1172-7802\3
the prior written approval of the City and the Authority during the period commencing on the date hereof
(“Commencement Date”) and ending on the later to occur of the (a) 40-year anniversary of the Commencement Date and (b) expiration of the last of the leases with a Qualifying Tenant for an Affordable Unit (the “Term”). Declarant’s obligation to operate the Project subject to this Declaration for the Term is
independent of the existence and continuance of any public assistance contemplated or given by the Authority or the City to Declarant under the Redevelopment Agreement, or otherwise (“Public Assistance”). The provisions of this Declaration are intended to survive the termination or extinguishment
of any Public Assistance, any mortgage securing the same, and any other security instruments placed of record in connection with the Public Assistance and to survive the termination of any subsequent financing or security instruments placed of record by other lenders.
2. Occupancy Requirements and Restrictions.
(a) Affordable Units. The Affordable Units will consist of the following mix of affordability levels:
(i) at least eight of the Affordable Units will be reserved for households who have a combined gross annual income which does not exceed 30% of AMI (each a “30% Unit”), four of which will be set aside for High Priority Homeless individuals (the “HPH Units”) and four of which will be set aside for People with Disabilities (the “PWD Units”). If any subsidy in connection with the HPH Units or PWD Units is withdrawn or otherwise
no longer available, the 30% Units may be reserved for households who have a combined gross annual income which does not exceed 60% of AMI for the HPH Units and 50% of AMI for the PWD Units;
(ii) at least 31 of the Affordable Units will be reserved for households who have a combined gross annual income which does not exceed 60% of AMI (each a “60% Unit”); and
(iii) at least 23 of the Affordable Units will be reserved for households who have a combined gross annual income which does not exceed 70% of AMI (each a “70% Unit”).
For purposes of this Declaration, “AMI” means the Area Median Income for the Minneapolis-Saint Paul-Bloomington Metropolitan Statistical Area (including adjustments for household size), as determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). Recent federal legislation has introduced an income averaging option for the low-income housing tax credit program. This legislation allows projects to accept residents with higher average median incomes as along as the overall average of the income of tenants in the project does not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the area median income, which provides low income housing projects the ability to serve tenants with a greater range of incomes (“Income Averaging”). The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency allows Income Averaging for the low income housing tax credit program to be used for the Project. This Agreement requires the Declarant to cause one hundred percent (100%) of the Affordable Units in the Project to be affordable to families at various
levels using Income Averaging, if applicable; provided, however, the overall average of the income of tenants of the Project shall not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the area median income.
(b) Qualifying Tenants. Each Affordable Unit shall be leased to and occupied (or held
vacant and available for occupancy) for the duration of the Term only by a household who, at initial occupancy, has a combined gross annual income which does not exceed the respective AMI threshold for each type of Affordable Unit (each a “Qualifying Tenant”) (e.g., each 30% Unit may
H-3 4825-1172-7802\3
only be leased to and occupied by a Qualifying Tenant whose gross annual income does not exceed
30% of AMI, etc.). Each subsequent tenant of an Affordable Unit must be a Qualifying Tenant.
(c) Rental Rates. Each Affordable Unit shall bear annual rents not greater than the rental rate limits for the applicable Qualifying Tenants (adjusted for bedroom count, and including
utilities and mandatory fees) as determined and announced from time to time by HUD and as published annually by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (or any successor agency(ies) administrating government affordable housing programs), and if such agency ceases to publish and
update such rates during the Term, such annual rents for the Affordable Units shall not be greater than 30% of the respective AMI thresholds listed in Section 2(a) (e.g., annual rents for the 50% Units shall not be greater than 30% of 50% of AMI). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any subsidy or housing support in connection with the HPH Units or PWD Units is withdrawn or otherwise not available, the rents for the 30% Units may be increased to 50% of AMI.
(d) Certification of Tenant Eligibility. No tenant household shall be approved by Declarant for initial occupancy of an Affordable Unit unless and until Declarant has determined (through verification of income, assets, expenses, and deductions) whether such tenant household is a Qualifying Tenant. Each person who is intended to be a Qualifying Tenant will be required at the commencement of the initial lease of an Affordable Unit to sign and deliver to Declarant a “Certification of Tenant Eligibility” substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B, or in any other
form as may be approved in writing by the Executive Director of the Authority or the City Manager of the City (the “Eligibility Certification”), in which the prospective tenant certifies as to qualifying as a Qualifying Tenant. Eligibility Certifications may be obtained no more than 120 days before a
Qualifying Tenant occupies an Affordable Unit. In addition, the person will be required to provide whatever other information, documents, or certifications are deemed necessary by the Authority or the City to substantiate the Eligibility Certification. Eligibility Certifications will be maintained on
file by Declarant with respect to each Qualifying Tenant who resides or resided in an Affordable Unit for a period of 10 years following the end of the Term. Declarant must re-examine and verify the income of each tenant household living in an Affordable Unit annually unless, during such year, no Affordable Unit is occupied by a new tenant household whose income exceeds the applicable income limit for Qualifying Tenants. In addition, no re-certification shall be required if a Qualifying Tenant moves to a different Affordable Unit.
(e) Leases. The Affordable Units shall be rented pursuant to a written lease, and the term of each such lease shall be least 12 months, except that during the final year of the Term, new leases for the Affordable Units may be for a term of no less than six months, and such newly leased Affordable Units shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Declaration until the expiration of such new leases. In addition, the form of lease to be utilized by Declarant in renting any Affordable Unit to any person who is intended to be a Qualifying Tenant shall:
(i) not require a security deposit in excess of the amount of one month of rent in connection with any Affordable Unit;
(ii) provide that rental rates charged to any Qualifying Tenant of an Affordable Unit cannot be increased more than once in any 12-month period.
(iii) provide for termination of the lease and consent by the person to eviction
for failure to qualify as a Qualifying Tenant as a result of any material misrepresentation made by the person with respect to the Eligibility Certification;
H-4 4825-1172-7802\3
(iv) include a clause wherein each individual tenant or tenant certifies the
accuracy of the statements made in its application and Eligibility Certification; and
(v) include a clause wherein each individual tenant or tenant certifies that the family income at the time the lease is executed will be deemed substantial and material
obligation of the tenant’s tenancy; that the tenant will comply promptly with all requests for income and other information relevant to determining low or moderate income status from Declarant, the Authority, or the City, and that the tenant’s failure or refusal to comply
with a request for information with respect thereto will be deemed a violation of a substantial obligation of the tenant’s tenancy of its Affordable Unit.
(f) Affordable Unit Mix. The Affordable Units shall be distributed as follows:
(i) Eight, one-bedroom units (which will be no less than 700 square feet in size);
(ii) 23, two-bedroom units (which will be no less than 965 square feet in size); and
(iii) 31, three-bedroom units (which will be no less than 1,200 square feet in size).
Changes in the distribution of units set forth below shall require the prior written approval of the Executive Director of the Authority and City Manager of
the City.
3. Enforcement of Covenants and Restrictions.
(a) Annual Certification. Declarant shall prepare and submit to the Authority and the
City, annually for approval on the basis of compliance with this Declaration, a certificate substantially in the form of the attached Exhibit C, executed by Declarant, (i) identifying the tenancies and the dates of occupancy (or vacancy) for all Qualifying Tenants, including the
percentage of the dwelling units of the Project which were occupied by Qualifying Tenants (or held vacant and available for occupancy by Qualifying Tenants) at all times during the year preceding the date of the certificate; (ii) describing all transfers or other changes in ownership of the Project or any interest therein; and (iii) stating that all Affordable Units were rented or available for rental on a continuous basis during the year to Qualifying Tenants and that Declarant was not otherwise in default under this Declaration during the year. The initial deadline for submission of such certification is three months following the Commencement Date and thereafter an annual deadline for submission of January 31.
(b) Books and Records. Declarant shall permit, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, any duly authorized representative of the Authority or City, to inspect any books and records of Declarant regarding the Project with respect to the incomes of tenant households of Affordable Units and the rents charged for Affordable Units to ensure compliance with the requirements of this Declaration. At the City’s or Authority’s request, Declarant will submit any other information, documents or certifications that Declarant, in its reasonable discretion, deems
necessary to substantiate Declarant’s compliance with the requirements of this Declaration.
(c) Delegation; Third-Party Monitoring. Each of the Authority and the City may, in their reasonable discretion, delegate their obligations hereunder and responsibilities for monitoring
H-5 4825-1172-7802\3
and enforcement of this Declaration to a separate subdivision of the City and/or one or more
designated contractors, subcontractors, or agents. Declarant shall, upon annual invoicing, reimburse the Authority and the City for third-party expenses related to monitoring of Declarant’s compliance with this Declaration, including any additional costs necessitated by re-inspections for
noncompliance with this Declaration.
(d) City Affordable Housing Policy. The Project and the Affordable Units shall be subject to the terms and condition of the City’s Inclusionary Housing Policy Program, as may be
amended from time to time.
(e) Notice of Non-Compliance. Declarant shall immediately notify the Authority and the City if at any time during the term of this Declaration the dwelling units in the Project are not occupied or available for occupancy as required by the terms of this Declaration.
4. Additional Covenants, Representations, and Warranties of Declarant.
(a) Legal Compliance. Declarant shall maintain the Affordable Units and the Project in compliance with all requirements of the Redevelopment Agreement and Approvals, any requirements of any lender whose loan is secured by a mortgage to which Declarant is a party or by which it or the Project is bound, and applicable ordinances, building and use restrictions, code-required building permits, and any requirements with respect to licenses, permits, and agreements necessary for the lawful use and operation of the Project.
(b) No Violation. The execution and performance of this Declaration by Declarant (i) will not violate or, as applicable, have not violated any provision of law, rule or regulation, or any order of any court or other agency or governmental body, and (ii) will not violate or, as applicable,
have not violated any provision of any indenture, agreement, mortgage, mortgage note, or other instrument to which Declarant is a party or by which it or the Project is bound, and (iii) will not result in the creation or imposition of any prohibited encumbrance of any nature.
(c) Section 8 Housing. Declarant shall accept tenants who are recipients of federal certificates for rent subsidies pursuant to the existing program under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended, codified as 42 U.S.C. Sections 1401 et seq., or its successor. Declarant shall not adopt any policies specifically excluding rental to tenants holding Section 8 certificate/voucher holders solely because of the status of the prospective tenant as such a holder.
(d) Underserved Populations. Declarant shall affirmatively market the Affordable Units to one or more traditionally underserved populations as affordable at the rates required hereunder.
(e) LIHTC LURA. The City and the Authority acknowledge that, upon completion of the Project, the Property will be encumbered by a land use restriction agreement (“LURA”) in connection with low income housing tax credits obtained by Declarant for the Project in accordance with Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (“LIHTC”), restricting the use of the Property to affordable housing in accordance with LIHTC requirements. For so long as the LURA remains in effect against the Property, this Declaration shall be subordinate to the terms and conditions of the
LURA and to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the LURA and the terms of this Declaration, the terms of this LURA shall prevail and such prevailing terms shall be deemed to be modify and replace the applicable terms of this Declaration. If the LURA is
terminated prior to the expiration of the Term, then this Declaration will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its original terms until the expiration of the Term.
H-6 4825-1172-7802\3
(f) Consents and Subordination. Declarant shall obtain the consent to this Declaration
of any prior recorded lien-holder for the Property and shall cause such liens to be subordinated to this Declaration. Other than the LURA, Declarant has not and will not execute any other agreement with provisions contradictory to, or in opposition to, the provisions hereof and that, in any event,
the requirements of this Declaration are paramount and controlling as to the rights and obligations set forth herein and supersede any other document's provisions in conflict herewith.
(g) Transfer Restrictions. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Redevelopment
Agreement and the Approvals, Declarant may sell, transfer or exchange the Project, the Property or any portion thereof, but Declarant shall notify the Authority and the City in writing at least 60 days prior to such sale, transfer or exchange, and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the acknowledgment of any buyer or successor or other person acquiring the Project or any interest therein that such acquisition is subject to the covenants and restrictions of this Declaration (and to the requirements of Redevelopment Agreement incorporated herein). Such notification shall not be required by any lender foreclosing on the Property, or any subsequent sale by such lender. Failure by Declarant to obtain such acknowledgment shall not be deemed to impair the covenants and restrictions of this Declaration.
(h) Alterations; Use. Declarant shall not demolish any part of the Project or substantially subtract from any real or personal property of the Project or permit the use of any
residential unit for any purpose other than rental housing during the Term of this Declaration unless required by law.
(i) Casualty. Promptly upon any casualty loss or damage to all or any part of the
Project (including subsurface structural support elements), Declarant shall proceed with diligence to restore the Project to the condition prior to the casualty with the insurance proceeds obtained with respect to the loss or damage to the extent the insurance proceeds recovered allow for such
rebuilding; provided, however, Declarant shall not be obligated to rebuild the Project if any of Declarant’s lenders or loan agreements (whether executed before or after the date hereof) do not permit such rebuilding or require that insurance amounts recovered with respect to any loss or damage to the Project be paid directly to the lender.
5. Remedies; Enforceability. In the event of a violation or attempted violation of any of the covenants, conditions or restrictions herein contained, the City or the Authority may institute and prosecute any proceeding at law or in equity to abate, prevent or enjoin any such violation, or enforce specific performance by Declarant of the covenants, obligations, conditions and/or restrictions set forth herein, or to recover monetary damages caused by such violation or attempted violation. Declarant specifically acknowledges that the City and the Authority cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages in the event of any default hereunder. Unless terminated as provided herein, the provisions hereof are imposed upon and made applicable to the Project, and shall be enforceable against Declarant, each purchaser, grantee, owner or tenant of the Project and the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each. No delay in enforcing the provisions of said covenants, conditions and restrictions as to any breach
or violation shall impair, damage or waive the right to enforce the same or to obtain relief against or recover for the continuation or repetition of such breach or violation or any similar breach or violation thereof at any later time or times. In addition to any remedy set forth herein for failure to comply with the restrictions
set forth in this Declaration, the City or the Authority may exercise any remedy available to it under the Redevelopment Agreement.
6. Indemnification. Declarant hereby indemnifies, and agrees to defend and hold harmless,
the Authority, the City, and their respective officers, officials, employees, and agents, from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), causes of action, suits,
H-7 4825-1172-7802\3
allegations, claims, demands, and judgments of any nature arising from the consequences of a legal or
administrative proceeding or action brought against them, or any of them, on account of any failure by Declarant to comply with the terms of this Declaration, or on account of any representation or warranty of Declarant contained herein being untrue.
7. Covenants Running With the Land. Declarant intends, declares and covenants, on behalf of itself and all future owners and operators of the Property and the Project during the Term, that this Declaration and the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Declaration regulating and restricting the
use, occupancy and transfer of the Property and the Project (a) shall be and are covenants running with the Property and the Project, encumbering the Property and the Project for the Term, binding upon Declarant’s successors in title and all subsequent owners and operators of the Property and the Project; (b) are not merely personal covenants of Declarant; and (c) shall bind Declarant (and the benefits shall inure to the Authority and the City) and its respective successors and assigns during the Term. Declarant hereby agrees that any and all requirements of the laws of the State of Minnesota to be satisfied in order for the provisions of this Declaration to constitute deed restrictions and covenants running with the land shall be deemed to be satisfied in full and that any requirements of privileges of estate are intended to be satisfied, or in the alternate, that an equitable servitude has been created to insure that these restrictions run with the land. For the Term, each and every contract, deed or other instrument hereafter executed conveying the Property and the Project or portion thereof shall expressly provide that such conveyance is subject to this Declaration;
provided, however, that the covenants contained herein shall survive and be effective regardless of whether such contract, deed or other instrument hereafter executed conveying the Property and the Project or portion thereof provides that such conveyance is subject to this Declaration.
8. Notices. Any notice, approval, consent, payment, demand, communication, authorization, delegation, recommendation, agreement, offer, report, statement, certification or disclosure required or permitted to be given or made under this Declaration, whether or not expressly so stated, shall not be
effective unless and until given or made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made as of the following date: (a) if delivered personally by courier or otherwise, then as of the date delivered or if delivery is refused, then as of the date presented; or (b) if sent or mailed by certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested, or by Federal Express, Express Mail or other mail or overnight courier service, then as of the date received.

Approve a Revolving Loan and Grant to Expand Land Trust Program and Authorize Staff to
Engage an Attorney to Draft Legal Agreements
Information / Background:
The City of Edina has been supporting the West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust (WHAHLT), dba
Homes Within Reach (HWR), since 2007 through the allocation of the City’s CDBG program funds. Since
that time, 14 houses have been placed into a Land Trust to remain affordable for 99-years.
This program is designed to expand the Homes Within Reach number of affordable ownership homes in Edina
by removing funding limitations through the creation of an Edina Revolving Loan program (ERLP) with two
major provisions.
• The proposed ERLP will provide a grant to fund the creation and preservation of affordable
home ownership in the City of Edina, by using HWR Community Land Trust practice.
• The proposed ERLP will provide a line of credit to WHAHLT to acquire, rehab and sell the
home to a qualified buyer.
Description of the Community Land Trust practice:
HWR establishes affordability by using the Community Land Trust practice to acquire and retain the
ownership of real property, rehabilitate and then sell the improvement (home) to buyers earning less than
80% Area Median Income (AMI).
The HWR Community Land Trust program removes the land value from the mortgage equation to create
initial affordability. The home costs less than market rate homes because HWR buyers purchase only the house
and enter into a Ground Lease with WHAHLT-HWR to secure the long-term rights and use of the land. This
land trust practice offers long-term affordability, where each affordable home will offer homeownership to 7-
12 families throughout the life of the lease. The homes are made permanently affordable for work-force
homeowners through two contractual provisions embedded in the Ground Lease.
• The first is a pricing formula that provides the owner with a fair amount of equity (HWR is 35%),
while ensuring the sale price for subsequent low-to-moderate income households is affordable.
• The second requires the homeowner to sell to another low-to-moderate income household. In
addition, the provisions ensure the home continues to be affordable with each sale.
STAFF REPORT Page 2
The Ground Lease allows the homeowner to secure long-term rights to the land. In addition, the homeowners
have full use of the land and are responsible for the property and payment of all real estate taxes on the house
and the parcel of land.
The homeowner may sell his/her home only to an income qualified buyer. The resale price is based on a
formula, which (based on market conditions) allows the seller to recover the original cost of the house plus a
modest profit. Therefore, assuming the house has retained or increased in value, the homeowner who sells
his or her home will get all of their equity plus a percentage (35%) of the home’s appreciation (the amount
that a home has increased in value since it was purchased).
As a result, Community Land Trust homes remain affordable for consecutive generations of homeowners,
because the resale restriction ensures permanent affordability.
Housing is a multiplier, a basic need that impacts every part of life: education, health, economic success. HWR’s
mission is to continue creating affordable homeownership for low-to-moderate income work-force
households, which in turn stabilizes the family unit, adds value to the suburban community and protects the
HRA’ s investment HWR program features of cost, quality and location of its homes has been and continues
to appeal and draw interest from workforce households with low-to-moderate income.
Who is the target clientele? What populations will benefit from the activity?
The proposal supports work-force families providing essential services to the community and surrounding
suburbs who typically cannot afford to purchase an entry-level home in Edina; such as custodians, teachers,
municipal workers, retail staff, office personnel, food prep staff, customer service representatives and many
more.
In 2007, Homes Within Reach implemented its program in the City of Edina, creating and preserving affordable
homeownership, using the Community Land Trust practice. To date, HWR has assisted sixteen families
(includes two resales) become Edina homeowners. The target market for Edina is households with 50% - 80
% Area Median Income. Over the past 12 years, HWR has served households between 34% to 76% AMI in
the City of Edina. The program average Area Median Income (AMI) in Edina is 60% and 50% for resales. The
program has served 60 persons.
What community needs does this activity address:
In today’s market, Edina is confronted with the fact entry-level properties are overpriced for most work-force
households who work or live in the City. Increased home values have taken place because of a reduction in
supply and increase in demand, while wages have not increased accordingly and cannot keep pace with
increases in housing costs.
HWR program not only offers value and benefits to the families it has assisted in becoming homeowners; the
program also expands homeownership opportunities, retains community wealth, by making maximum use of
existing properties and the community’s infrastructure with younger households. It also provides a mechanism
to invest in affordable homeownership, which enhances residential stability and the preservation of housing
affordability by recycling funds from owner to owner.

INTRODUCTION:
This item pertains to construction of public infrastructure to serve the Grandview District. With incremental taxes

Grandview 2 TIF District
Programming Funds for Public Infrastructure
Information / Background:
The Grandview 2 Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District was established in 2016 to provide a funding source
for public redevelopment improvements in portions of the Grandview District. The potential improvements
are described in the 2012 Framework and subsequent Transportation Plan. The TIF District covers
approximately 10.8 acres and includes 15 parcels and adjacent streets.
Since the time the TIF District was established, the Edina School District sold their property for private
development. The Avidor – a new 55+ age-restricted apartment complex was constructed on that property
and was completed in 2019.
No decision has been made about the development of the City’s vacant property at 5146 Eden Avenue.
After considering several options for combinations of public and private uses on the site from 2016 - 2018, a
preferred scenario has not yet been identified.
It does not appear that a development plan for the City’s vacant site will be decided in the near future. In
order to comply with the 5-year rule in Minnesota TIF Statutes, staff has considered alternative strategies to
achieve some of the goals identified in previous planning efforts.
Staff has two recommendations:
1) Delay action on the City’s vacant parcel at 5146 Eden Ave.
2) Design and construct a variety of public improvements using the incremental property taxes
generated by the completed Avidor project.
STAFF REPORT Page 2
The attached presentation summarizes the goals and scope of public improvements. The presentation also
includes revenue projections that informed the recommendation to issue public debt to finance these
improvements.
City Engineer Chad Milner has identified a slate of improvements that can be readily designed and
constructed in 2021-2022. These proposed improvements are derived from the 2016 Transportation Plan
and other redevelopment studies for the Grandview District. The improvements potentially include
planning, design, construction, acquisition and administration.
The recommended scope of work is summarized below.
Scope of Project Estimated Costs
Street Projects
(streets, sidewalks,
bikeways, bus bays,
retaining walls)
Eden Ave. (from Arcadia to Vernon) $1.3 M
Arcadia Ave. (from Eden to 50th ) $1.3 M
Eden / Arcadia intersection included
Brookside Rd. (from Eden to Parking Ramp) TBD
Utilities Sewer Lift Station at Eden / Arcadia $1.7 M
Water main from Treatment Plant Included
Capital
Improvements
Jerry’s / Brookside Ramp (ped. Bridges, lighting, signage,
wayfinding, solar) $1.0 M
Land Acquisition TBD
Soil Remediation at 5146 Eden Ave. TBD
Total = $5.3 M
Staff seeks approval of these recommendations and authorization to seek a design engineer to clarify the
scope of these projects and to prepare construction documents that can be used to solicit construction bids
for the 2021 road construction season.
As the project scope becomes more focused, staff will also seek the consent of the HRA Board for the
anticipated actions:
• Approval of Planning/Engineering Design Contract
• Approval of Construction Administration Contract
• Approval of Construction Contract
• Approval to issue TIF bonds
City staff will be available to answer questions about these recommendations.

Hi-
I wanted to bring to your attention/inquire about the fact that
virtually all condos in the city of Edina do not accept pets. Examples
include:
6400 York “The Yorker”
All Edinborough communities
York Plaza
7500, 7510 Cahill Rd All “Windwood Condos”
6670 Vernon “Fountain Woods” (accepts cats)
4350 Brookside Court
4100 Parklawn “Heatherton Condos”
These are just the ones I was able to query for in the past 5
minutes. They all say “pets not allowed”. I was wondering why this
is, and if the city council can provide a list of
condominiums/complexes in the city of Edina that are under $250k
that do allow pets, dogs specifically.
I’ve lived on the Edina border my entire life. It’s frustrating that as a
young professional, the housing options are so clearly not
welcoming for me.
Thank you.
