Stephanie Hawkinson, Affordable Housing Development Manager
Approve Partnership with Metro HRA to Expand the Family Affordable Housing Program and
Authorize Staff to Engage an Attorney to Draft Legal Agreements
Information / Background:
The Metro HRA currently owns and manages eight properties in Edina that they acquired between 2001 and
2004 following the 1995 landmark Hollman consent decree that called for the deconcentration of affordable
housing in Minneapolis. Their housing portfolio in Edina has not increased in 16-years despite the growing
need for affordable housing. Through a continued partnership with the Edina HRA, the number of houses
serving households needing larger rental opportunities could increase.
The cost of housing is a barrier for many people to move to Edina. These people may be working in the City
and contributing to the quality of residents’ lives such as lab techs, nurses or aids, senior housing employees,
day care providers, teachers’ aids, grocery store clerks, etc. Many of these employees are deemed essential
during the pandemic, yet they cannot afford to rent a home here. Granted, Edina is providing affordable
apartment rental opportunities, but for some larger households, apartment living is not suitable for their
family. According to the Metropolitan Council, 19% of the overcrowding that is occurring in housing in
Edina is due to larger families (5+ household members) living in smaller than adequate housing. A
partnership with Metro HRA will make renting a house feasible for families who qualify for Metro HRA’s
Family Affordable Housing Program (FAHP), which serves households with incomes at or below 50% of
AMI, or $51,700 for a family of four.
The Metropolitan Council Community Development Committee supports moving forward with a
partnership with the Edina HRA whereby Edina would acquire single family houses, maintain ownership and
the Metro HRA would maintain and lease the properties to qualified households. As the Edina HRA and
Metro HRA also ready have a Cooperation Agreement for the eight houses already in the program, this
agreement would need to be amended to include future homes.
STAFF REPORT Page 2
Staff is seeking $2,000,000 from the Southdale 2 TIF “Regular Housing” Pooled funds for the expansion of
FAHP in Edina. The funds will be used to acquire single family houses and conduct moderate rehabilitation
to address health and safety concerns. The cost of the houses will not exceed $400,000.
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and Supporting Documentation
1. Quality of Life Survey: Edina ranked lower than other Minnesota communities in the area of
availability of affordable quality housing with only 32% rating this as excellent or good. The Metro
HRA partnership creates additional affordable housing opportunities.
2. Maxfield Market Study:
a. The percentage of households with children is increasing. The Metro HRA partnership focuses
in single family houses that will serve households with children.
b. 40,898 Edina employees commute into the City for work (pre-COVID numbers). The
Metro HRA partnership will create opportunities for people who work in Edina to live closer to their
jobs.
c. 42% of Edina renters are cost burdened. The Metro HRA partnership charges households only
30% of their income. The remainder is paid through rental assistance.
3. 2018 Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 4): The Metro HRA partnership aims to provide affordable housing
to households with children.
a. Goal 1: Accommodate all planned residential growth in the city based on planned
infrastructure investments and other community goals and assets.
i. Recognize that successfully reaching affordable housing goals assists the city in
achieving related community goals, including Accommodating housing for families
with children in Edina schools.
b. Goal 2: Encourage the development and maintenance of a range of housing options
affordable to residents at all income levels and life stages.
c. Goal 4: Support the development of a wide range of housing options to meet the diverse
needs and preferences of the existing and future Edina community.

INTRODUCTION:
On February 13, 2020 the HRA approved and authorized the execution of the Loan Agreement, Mortgage and
Note. T he Edina Housing Foundation has negotiated a Development Agreement and Land Lease with a
development partnership comprised of Lupe Development Partners and Ecumen for the development of a 100%
affordable age restricted building. The land lease is designed to keep the property affordable for 99-years. As the
the Edina housing Foundation will be a partner in the development through the land lease, rather than selling the
land to the Developer, they are requesting that the Loan Documents be modified to be forgiven once certain
conditions outlined in the staff report are met.

First Amendment to Loan Documents
Development Agreement and Ground Lease
November 12, 2020
Chair and Member of the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Stephanie Hawkinson, Affordable Housing Development Manager
Approving First Amendment Loan Documents for the Purchase of 4040 W. 70th St.
Information / Background
On December 12, 2019 the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) reviewed and approved a Term
Sheet that identified the basic business points for the use of public funds to support the acquisition by the
Edina Housing Foundation (the “EHF”) of 4040 70th Street West (the “Site”) from American Collectors
Association. The was the precursor to a February 13, 2020 approval by the HRA on loan documents for a
$3,650,000 acquisition loan. The Site was acquired on June 1, 2020, with the EHF immediately beginning the
process to select a developer for the construction of age-restricted, affordable housing of up to 118 units.
Selected Developer
EHF sent a Request for Qualifications to five developers and received two proposals. EHF selected Lupe
Development Partners in partnership with Ecumen (“Selected Developer”) due to their relevant experience,
capacity to be awarded funds and shepherd the plans through the regulatory process, and openness to
working with EHF on pursuing “forever” affordability. The selected Developer has demonstrated
experience with, and commitment to, the following criteria that were shared with the HRA in November
2019:
• Age restricted housing
• 110 to 118 units with a mix of one and two bedrooms
• 1:1 parking ratio
• Adherence to proposed Comprehensive Plan
• High levels of energy efficiency
• Environmentally sustainable construction practices
• Demonstrated success in securing financing and developing similar types of projects
• Long term ownership
• Long term affordability
STAFF REPORT Page 2
First Amendment to Loan Documents
The Loan Documents were based on the presumption that EHF would sell the site to a developer and repay
the HRA loan with the acquisition proceeds. To assure “forever” affordability (99-years) EHF proposes that
they maintain title to the Site and participate in the development through a Ground Lease. Therefore, there
will not be any acquisition proceeds to pay back the loan. EFH is seeking forgiveness of the loan provided
certain conditions are met:
1. The Selected Developer shall receive all governmental approvals and entitlements necessary to
construct the Proposed Project on the Site;
2. The Selected Developer shall close on, or otherwise secured binding commitments for, all financing
necessary for the construction of the Proposed Project;
3. The Selected Developer and EFH have executed a Ground Lease that requires the units remain
affordable.
When these conditions met, EHF is requesting that the HRA will cancel the Note, terminate the Loan
Agreement, and satisfy the Mortgage so there is no lien on the property. In exchange the City will have a
new, age-restricted multi-family development that will remain affordable for 99-years. Once the 99-years
have concluded, ownership of the Site will revert to the EHF.
Equity and Inclusion
The Selected Developer has committed to the following:
• Will explore getting an award from Metro HRA for Project Based Section 8.
• Will accept tenants with Housing Choice Vouchers.
• Will work with the Veterans Administration to pursue Project Based VASH rental assistance.
• Will complete and implement an Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan.
In addition, Ecumen Housing Managers, HUD Service Coordinators, Marketing staff and Administrative
Assistants are trained through Ross Business Development (RBD) annually, and through sessions at each
annual Working Together Conference, which focuses on HUD and Fair Housing topics. Finally Lupe
Development Partners is a Woman Owned Enterprise.
Sustainability Review
• The project will utilize a creative mix of surface and underground stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs) which will be integrated with the site landscape design to meet the stormwater
rate, volume, and quality regulations of these agencies.
• Panelized Assembly to reduce waste caused by traditional on-site framing.
STAFF REPORT Page 3
• The project will meet the Minnesota overlay for Green Communities standards and have multiple
demonstration features for green/sustainable building practices, including storm water infiltration,
rain gardens, green roofs and energy efficient design.
• Will contract with Xcel Energy’s Energy Design Assistance (EDA) program. Using the services of
Willdan — a regionally respected energy consultive practice – to minimize electrical and fuel
consumption and conserve resources.
• It is the intent of the Selected Developer to incorporate a 40Kw Photovoltaic Solar system on the
building rooftop.
Budget Implications
4040 W. 70th St. was acquired using “regular” TIF Pooling. Staff will return to the HRA to propose
exchanging the “regular” housing pooled funds for the more restrictive and time sensitive Special Legislation
pooled funds once the development plan is finalized.

Compliance with Greater Southdale District Plan
The Greater Southdale District Plan supports the development of affordable age-restricted housing at 4040
W. 70th Street. In addition to the site being zoned appropriately, the plan states the following:
The Greater Southdale District has an important role to play in accommodating expected housing
growth. Already an area characterized by high density residential and mixed-use development, it is
guided for additional infill development of a similar or higher intensity. The presence of jobs, retail
and services, transit, and public amenities means this area contains the elements for a complete
community, which can leverage these advantages for a convenient and accessible lifestyle for a range
of household types.
STAFF REPORT Page 4
Affordable housing is a necessary component of the housing mix. This is especially true given the
demographic future of Greater Southdale. The expected growth in the senior population and the
desire to attract young workers and families both point to the need to have more affordable
housing, including options for those that might choose to move here from other parts of the
community.(pg 85)

118-unit, 100% affordable, senior housing community on the Property (the “Project”), as such Project is more particularly described in this Agreement and as finally approved pursuant to the Project Approvals (as defined below).
E. Developer has represented to the Foundation that it is a qualified Developer of affordable housing, it is willing to undertake the Project, and it is capable of carrying out the Project.
F. Based on such representations, the Foundation is willing to grant Developer (i) the exclusive right to pursue and develop the Project on the Property and (ii) the exclusive right to enter into a long-term ground lease for the Property, with the Foundation, as lessor, and Developer, lessee (the “Ground Lease”), pursuant to which Developer will own the Project, operate the Project through a Management Agreement with a Qualified Operator (as such terms are defined herein), and use of the Property exclusively for the Project and other affordable housing purposes permitted under the Ground Lease, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ground Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the following terms and conditions, the parties agree as follows:
Article 1 Project Development

Approvals (as defined below) and Project Financing (as defined below), upon the terms and conditions of this Article 1.
2 4822-6660-1165\6
1.1 Deposit.
(a) Deposit with Title Company. In consideration for the rights granted by the
Foundation to Developer under this Agreement, Developer shall deposit with Guaranty Commercial Title, Inc. (the “Title Company”) the amount of $100,000.00 (the “Deposit”) within two business days after Effective Date. If Developer fails to deposit the Deposit in accordance with the preceding sentence, then this Agreement will be terminable by the Foundation at the Foundation’s option by notice of termination delivered to Developer at any time before Developer deposits the Deposit with the Title Company. The Title Company will act as escrow agent with respect to the Deposit and disburse the Deposit to the party entitled thereto under the terms of this Agreement. All costs of the Title Company, if any, with respect to the escrow of the Deposit will be borne by Developer.
(b) Release of Deposit to Foundation. The Title Company shall release the Deposit to the Foundation as follows:
(i) 50% of the Deposit (i.e., $50,000.00) shall be released and disbursed to the Foundation within two business days after the City Council grants final site plan approval for the Project and the Foundation delivers written notice of the same to
Developer and the Title Company, provided that this Agreement has yet not been terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof prior to such occurrence; and
(ii) 50% of the Deposit (i.e., $50,000.00) shall be released and disbursed to
the Foundation within two business days after Developer delivers the Project Financing Certificate to the Foundation, with copy to the Title Company, provided that this Agreement has yet not been terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof prior to such
occurrence.
(c) Application/Refund of Deposit. Any portion of the Deposit (including any Extension Deposit(s) (defined below)) released to the Foundation in accordance with this Agreement will (i) if Closing occurs, be refunded by the Foundation to Developer at Closing, or (ii) if Closing does not occur and this Agreement is terminated subsequent to any release and disbursement of any portion of the Deposit the Foundation, such released portion of the Deposit will be nonrefundable to Developer and be deemed earned by the Foundation.
1.2 Project Development Periods.
(a) Initial Project Development Periods. Developer shall have (i) a period commencing on the Effective Date and expiring on the date that is 12 months after of the Effective Date to obtain all Project Approvals (“Project Approvals Period”) and (ii) subject to the extensions
provided in Section 1.2(b), an initial period commencing on the Effective Date and expiring on the date that is 18 months after of the Effective Date to obtain all commitments for the Project Financing (“Project Financing Period”), each on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article
1.
(b) Extensions of Project Financing Period. In recognition of the complexity, uncertainty, and time-consuming nature of obtaining financing for an affordable housing project
such as the Project, if, as of the expiration of the initial Project Financing Period, Developer has not obtained the Project Financing, but Developer has otherwise proceeded, and is then continuing to proceed, with all reasonable diligence and using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Project Financing in accordance with this Agreement, then, Developer has the right to extend the
3 4822-6660-1165\6
Project Financing Period by up to an additional period of 270 days from and after the expiration of the initial Project Financing Period as set forth below:
(i) First Extension. Upon (A) written notice to the Foundation and (B) depositing $25,000.00 as an additional Deposit (the “First Extension Deposit”) directly to the Foundation or with the Title Company, in either case, on or before the date which is five business days prior to the expiration of the initial Project Financing Period, Developer shall have the right to extend the Project Financing Period for a period of up to an additional 180 days (the “First Extension”).
(ii) Second Extension. If Developer has exercised the First Extension, then upon (A) written notice to the Foundation and (B) depositing $25,000.00 as an additional Deposit (the “Second Extension Deposit”) directly to the Foundation or with the Title Company, in either case, on or before the date which is five business days prior to the expiration of the First Extension, Developer shall have the right to further extend the
Project Financing Period for an additional period of up to an additional 90 days (the “Second Extension”).
(iii) Release of Extension Deposits. The First Extension Deposit and the
Second Extension Deposit (collectively, the “Extension Deposits”) will be deemed part of and constitute the “Deposit” for all purposes hereunder, except if either Extension Deposit is deposited with the Title Company, the Title Company shall release and disburse such
Extension Deposit to the Foundation immediately following its deposit by Developer. For purposes of clarity, and not limitation, Developer and the Foundation acknowledge that the Extension Deposits will be applied and treated as provided in Section 1.1(c).
1.3 Project Approvals. Commencing no later than promptly following the Effective Date and throughout the Project Approvals Period, Developer shall, at its sole cost and expense and proceeding with all reasonable diligence, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all governmental approvals and entitlements necessary to construct the Project (the “Project Approvals”). The Project Approvals shall include all land use approvals, entitlements, zoning designations, platting, building permits, and other construction permits required to construct the development. The Foundation shall, at no cost or liability to the Foundation, reasonably cooperate and affirmatively assist Developer with Developer’s efforts to obtain the Project Approvals. Developer shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with obtaining the Project Approvals and such Project Approvals must be effective prior to the expiration of the Project Approvals Period unless otherwise approved by the Foundation.
1.4 Project Plan Development. Developer shall keep the Foundation reasonably informed
about Developer’s progress regarding design development for the Project and obtaining Project Approvals, including providing the Foundation and the Foundation’s board of directors copies of all submittals for Project Approvals and periodic email updates and presentations at intervals reasonably requested by the
Foundation, but not less frequently than quarterly, and more frequently as circumstances merit during the term of this Agreement. The Foundation’s approval or consent shall not be required for any Project plans or submittals for Project Approvals so long as the Project consists of an 118-unit, 100% affordable, age-
restricted, senior housing community which meets Minimum Affordability Requirements (defined below); provided, however, the Foundation’s prior consent shall be required to reduce the proposed unit count of the Project below 118 units, which consent shall not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld.
1.5 Affordable Housing Requirements. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Ground Lease, the Project must meet the following affordability requirements (“Minimum Affordability Requirements”).
4 4822-6660-1165\6
(a) Affordable Units. 100% of the residential units within the Project (the “Affordable Units”) must 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 12 of the Affordable Units will be reserved for households who have a combined gross annual income which does not exceed 30% of 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 (“AMI”);
(ii) approximately 24 of the Affordable Units will be reserved for households who have a combined gross annual income which does not exceed 50% of AMI;
(iii) approximately 58 of the Affordable Units will be reserved for households who have a combined gross annual income which does not exceed 60% of AMI; and
(iv) no more than 24 of the Affordable Units will be reserved for households who have a combined gross annual income which does not exceed 80% of AMI.
Any changes in the affordability levels of the Affordable Units set forth herein shall require
the prior written consent of the Foundation, provided however that as long as the overall average of the income of tenants in the Project does not exceed 60% of AMI, then such consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld.
(b) Affordable Unit Mix. The Affordable Units shall be distributed among one-bedroom units and two-bedroom units. There will be approximately 98 one-bedroom units and approximately 20 two-bedroom units. Any changes in the quantity and distribution of Affordable Units set forth herein shall require the prior written consent of the Foundation, which such consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld.
(c) Duration. The Minimum Affordability Requirements must remain in effect for the
entire term of the Ground Lease.
(d) Changes to Affordability Tax Code. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 1.5 to the contrary, changes to the federal or state tax code in the future which effect how unit mix and affordability levels are funded or how affordability is mapped in a project shall not be a barrier to receiving the consent of the Foundation to update, remodel or refurbish the development in the future. The interpretation as to how any such changes to applicable state or federal law impact the Project is subject to the Foundation’s reasonable judgment.
1.6 Project Financing.
(a) General. Commencing no later than promptly following the Effective Date and throughout the Project Financing Period, as the same may be extended, Developer shall, proceeding with all reasonable diligence, use commercially reasonable efforts to evaluate, pursue, apply for,
and secure all financing necessary for the construction of the Project, including, without limitation, tax-exempt conduit bonds, Federal low-income housing tax credits, loan commitments for a construction loan and the primary loan permanent financing, grant funds, tax increment financing,
and other sources of affordable housing funding (“Project Financing”). The Foundation shall, at no
5 4822-6660-1165\6
cost or liability to the Foundation, reasonably cooperate and affirmatively assist Developer with Developer’s efforts to obtain Project Financing.
(b) Financing Structure. Developer has submitted to the Foundation a proposal summarizing the Project Financing sources Developer initially intends to pursue with respect to the Project (“Financing Proposal”), including a detailed pro formas for the construction and operation of the Project. The Financing Proposal is attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement. Developer may revise its Financing Proposal from time-to-time so long as the Financing Proposal consists of reasonably attainable Project Financing sources which, if obtained, would enable the Project to at least meet the Minimum Affordability Requirements, and the Foundation’s consent to any changes in the Financing Proposal shall only be required if such changes require a modification to the Minimum Affordability Requirements or a change to the Project plans, in either case, which require the Foundation’s consent in accordance with this Agreement, such consent not to be unreasonably defined, conditioned, or delayed. In all cases, Developer will keep the Foundation reasonably
informed about Developer’s progress in obtaining Project Financing, including providing the Foundation and the Foundation’s board of directors’ periodic email updates and presentations, at intervals reasonably requested by the Foundation.
(c) Financing Commitment. No later than the expiration of the Project Financing Period, as the same may be extended, Developer shall certify to the Foundation, that all Project Financing sources identified in the final Financing Proposal have been committed to (or otherwise
remain available to) Developer by delivering a Project Financing certificate to the Foundation (and the Title Company) in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C (“Project Funding Certificate”) Promptly following the Foundation’s request, Developer agrees to submit to the Foundation evidence of commitment(s) for financing which is sufficient, in the Foundation’s reasonable discretion, for Developer to undertake and construct the Project and operate the same at the Minimum Affordability Requirements during the term of the Ground Lease (“Financing Commitments”). If the Foundation reasonably finds that the financing complies with the terms of this Agreement and is sufficiently committed and adequate in amount, to provide for the construction of the Project in accordance with this Agreement, the Foundation shall notify Developer in writing of its approval, such approval shall not be unreasonably defined, conditioned, or delayed. If the Foundation rejects the evidence of financing as inadequate, it shall do so in writing specifying the basis for the rejection and Developer shall have 60 days thereafter to submit evidence of commitment(s) for additional or alternate financing acceptable to the Foundation.

The Title Commitment shall include complete and accurate copies of all matters described in Schedule B thereof. As part of the Property Documents, the Foundation will deliver to Developer a copy of the Foundation’s most recent land survey of the Property. At Developer’s election, and at Developer’s sole cost, Developer may obtain an updated land survey of the Property (the “Survey”) and the Foundation will reasonably cooperate with the same.
7.2 Developer’s Objections. Within 30 days after receiving the Title Commitment, Developer shall notify the Foundation in writing of any matters which render title in the Foundation as being unmarketable (“Objections”). Developer’s failure to make Objections within the applicable time period will

If the Cure Period expires prior to the Closing Date, Developer shall have the right to extend the Cure Period to the Closing Date. If the Cure Items are not cured within the Cure Period, Developer may elect any of the following options by providing written notice thereof to the Foundation:
(a) Terminate this Agreement within five days after the expiration of the Cure Period and thereafter Developer and the Foundation shall direct the Title Company to promptly return to Developer any remaining balance of the Deposit not yet released and disbursed to the Foundation
in accordance with this Agreement and neither the Foundation nor Developer shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except for any obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement); or
(b) Waive the Objections and close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement as if such Objections had not been made, and the title matters related to such Objections will be deemed Permitted Encumbrances.
7.4 New Title Matters. If any matters which render a ground lessee’s title to the Property as being unmarketable are discovered by or reported to Developer on or prior to the Closing Date which are not shown on the Title Commitment or the Survey, or which were created or came into existence on or after the date of delivery of the Title Commitment or the Survey, Developer shall notify the Foundation in writing
12 4822-6660-1165\6
of any additional Objections to such title defects as soon as reasonably possible. The Foundation may then either (i) cure such Objections prior to Closing; or (ii) decline to cure such Objection. If the Foundation
declines to cure such Objection, it shall so notify Developer within five business days of notice from Developer. Thereafter, Developer may (A) waive such Objection and proceed to Closing or (B) terminate this Agreement, in each case, in accordance with Section 7.3(a) and (b).

Default; Remedies; Attorneys’ Fees
15.1 Developer Default. If Developer defaults in performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Foundation may give notice to Developer, and if Developer has not cured such default
within 30 days of receipt of such notice, the Foundation may elect (a) by notice to Developer to terminate the Agreement and to obtain the Deposit as liquidated damages or (b) to seek specific performance of this Agreement on or before six months after Developer’s default during which time the Closing will be postponed until such time as Developer has cured its default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Developer defaults on any of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, then the Foundation’s remedies shall not be as so limited above with respect to any such default(s) and the Foundation shall have the right to pursue any and all remedies available to the Foundation at law or in equity with respect to any such default(s), subject to the conditions and limitations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
15.2 Foundation Default. If the Foundation fails to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by the Foundation within the time for performance as specified herein and such failure continues for a period of 30 days after written notice from Developer, or if such failure reasonably requires more than 30 days to cure, such additional period of time the Foundation reasonably requires to cure such failure, provided the Foundation promptly commences its cure upon receipt of notice and with due diligence is thereafter continuously prosecuting such cure to completion, then Developer may
elect either to: (a) terminate this Agreement by giving 10 days written notice to the Foundation with a copy to the Title Company, and if the Foundation has not cured such default within such 10 day period, the Deposit, plus all interest accrued thereon, shall be returned immediately to Developer by the Foundation
and the Title Company, as applicable pursuant to this Agreement; or (b) to seek specific performance of this Agreement on or before six months after the Foundation’s default during which time the Closing will be postponed until such time as the Foundation has cured its default. The remedies herein for a breach prior
to Closing shall be the only remedies available to Developer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Foundation defaults on any of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, then Developer’s remedies shall not be as so limited above with respect to any such default(s) and Developer shall have the right to pursue any and all remedies available to Buyer at law or in equity with respect to any such default(s), subject to the conditions and limitations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
17 4822-6660-1165\6

therewith including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all costs of appeal including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred on appeal. This provision shall survive Closing or termination hereof.
Article 16 Broker’s Commission
The Foundation and Developer represent and warrant to each other that they have not employed, used the services of or otherwise dealt with any brokers, finders or the like in connection with this transaction. Each party shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless against all claims, damages, costs, or expenses of or for any other such fees or commissions resulting from their actions or agreements regarding the execution or performance of this Agreement, and shall pay all costs of defending any legal
action brought against the other party to recover any other such fees or commissions, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. The provisions of this section shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.
Article 17
Effective Date
The “Effective Date” of this Agreement shall be the date that the last party executed this Agreement as evidenced by the dates in the signature blocks of this Agreement. If either party fails to date this
Agreement by its signature, the date by the signature of the other party shall constitute the Effective Date.
Article 18 Title Company as Escrow Agent
Title Company shall hold, invest and disburse the Deposit as provided in this Agreement. Upon receipt of any written certification from the Foundation or Developer claiming the Deposit, Title Company shall promptly forward a copy thereof to the other party hereto and, unless such party within five business days thereafter objects by written notice to Title Company to such disbursement, Title Company shall disburse the Deposit to the party demanding the same and shall thereupon be released and discharged from any duty or obligation hereunder. Title Company is acting as escrow agent only with respect to the Deposit, to the extent deposited by Developer, and if there is any dispute as to whether Title Company is obligated to deliver the Deposit, or as to whom the Deposit is to be delivered, Title Company may refuse to make delivery and may continue to hold the Deposit until receipt by Title Company of an authorization, in writing, signed by the Foundation and Developer, directing the disposition of the Deposit; in the absence of such written authorization, Title Company may hold the Deposit until a final determination of the rights of the
parties by appropriate proceeding or may bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Deposit in a court of competent jurisdiction pending such determination. The Foundation and Developer recognize that Title Company’s duties hereunder are only as specifically provided herein and are purely
administerial in nature; and the Foundation and Developer therefore agree that Title Company shall, so long as it acts in good faith and in accordance with this Agreement, have no liability to either Developer or the Foundation, except for its willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Foundation and Developer do hereby further indemnify Title Company against, and agree to hold, save and defend Title Company harmless from, any costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by Title Company in discharging its duties hereunder, except for willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Article 19 General
The section and paragraph headings or captions appearing in this Agreement are for convenience only, are not a part of this Agreement, and are not to be considered in interpreting this Agreement.

Recommended Guidance for Use of Centennial Lakes Fund Balance
November 9, 2020
Background: These monies were originally collected as incremental property taxes attributed to
the completion of multiple projects at Centennial Lakes. The eligible boundaries to use the fund
balance is shown on the attached map. Some projects in the current Capital Improvement Plan
rely on this Fund. The fund balance remains due to repayment of interfund loans. This fund
balance is estimated to be $1.6 million in 12/31/2026.
The following guidelines should be applied when selecting projects to be funded:
1)Invest in capital projects that deliver long-term value and benefit to Edina
2)Focus on delivery of public improvements including related design, engineering and
administrative costs
3)Outcomes should contribute to economic development in commercial and industrial
portions of Edina. Desired outcomes include: strengthening tax base, job creation,
commercial stability, retaining commercial businesses, attracting new commercial
investment, and multi-modal traffic improvements as each of these outcomes
contributes to the quality of life in Edina
4)Prioritize projects that:
a.Do not have a dedicated funding source, or
b.Are not included in the current Capital Improvement Plan,
c.Supplement a budget to elevate a capital improvement from Class B to Class A,
(for example, improved energy efficiency, elevated design or material selection,
or inclusion of public art), or
d.Complement adjacent or nearby privately funded redevelopment
5)Full investment of these funds should be completed by 2028, if not earlier.
6)Examples of projects to consider include:
a.Acquisition of property rights or construction costs to deliver public parking at
44th & France
b.Traffic signal improvements on France Ave from 65th to 77th Streets
c.Replacement of pedestrian bridge spanning MnDOT Hwy 62 west of Valley View
Road near Rosland Park

Re: Re-use and Redevelopment of 5146 Eden Avenue
This vacant property has been the subject of several redevelopment discussions in the past 12 years.
Previous discussions did not yield a redevelopment strategy that was implemented. This 3.3 acre site
has monetary value. In its current tax-exempt and vacant state, it is not contributing to Edina’s
property tax base nor is it delivering any of the community goals identified in the 2012 Grandview
Framework Plan.
After 12 years of considering a variety of different options, staff recommends that the Edina HRA
consider selling or leasing at least a portion of the site so that it can put to productive use. Staff
recommends that the redevelopment of this site be actively pursued in 2021.
RECENT BACKGROUND
• Previous studies have not been able to identify a new public facility that can be delivered on
the 3.3 acre site without significant increases to the City’s debt burden
• The Edina Fire Department is evaluating whether this site is appropriate for a future Fire
Station #3. The 2019 Five Bugles study recommends that an additional fire station be
pursued in the next 5-10 years. The intention of this new facility is to reduce response times
to the north-east quadrant of Edina while providing additional support for the north-west
and other quadrants of the City.
• The Frauenshuh Company remains interested in working with the Edina HRA to develop a
multi-phase, mixed-use project on the site.
• Other developers also remain interested in pursuing new ventures in Edina. There is certain
to be interest in this site if it is made available for redevelopment.
Staff Memo
November 9, 2020

RECOMMENDED REDEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
1) Complete evaluation to determine if a portion of the site should be retained for a future
Fire Station #3. (December 2020)
2) Prepare a draft Request for Proposal (RFP)to solicit competitive offers to sell or lease a
portion of the property. (January 2021)
3) Identify the type, scale and general parameters of redevelopment that is preferred on the
site, being cautious to select a realistic number of community objectives to deliver on the
site (January 2021)
a. Follow the Grandview 7 Guiding Principles in considering the outcomes
b. 2 to 3 elements, maximum
c. Setbacks along Eden and Arcadia
d. Public green space
e. Pedestrian crossing over railroad tracks
f. Follow the Grandview 7 Guiding Principles in considering the outcomes
4) Prepare a simple and effective process to consider multiple offers (January 2021)
5) Present draft RFP and process to Edina HRA for review and approval (Q1 2021)
6) Issue RFP and seek offers from private developers (Q1 2021)
7) Select a developer and enter into contract (Q2 2021)
8) Seek to entitle the property, design the new facilities and arrange financing by Q4 2021
9) Plan for construction to begin Spring 2022
