Motion carried.
V. COMMUNITY COMMENT
Lori Grotz, 5515 Park Place, asked why the City has not required the property owners of 7200/7250
to address the recent graffiti. She inquired about the Pentagon TIF district and if the easement for
this access road to Fred Richards Park was solely to serve as a public access road and should not
allow the developer to use the road and impede public access as the Seven Fields Academy project
would impede access. She concluded with the Pentagon Park TIF district and parking ramp and
asked if there had been an amendment to the district to allow the residents of Eddy Apartment
building to park there as this ramp should be used only by the public for a public purpose and not
for the financial benefit of the property owner.
VI. ADOPTION OF CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED
Motion by Commissioner Jackson, seconded by Commissioner Pierce, approving the

Motion carried.
VII. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
VII.A. AMENDMENT TO 7001 FRANCE AVENUE REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS
WITH MDI FRANCE AVENUE, LLC – APPROVED
Economic Development Manager Neuendorf shared this item pertained to the redevelopment of
commercial property located at 7001 France Avenue. On June 30, 2022, the HRA, City and
developer entered into Redevelopment Agreements to pledge the use of incremental property taxes
after the projects were completed. The ongoing economic challenges have impacted the project
schedule and amendments were proposed to the Site A and Site B/C Agreements to extend the
starting and completion dates of the project and noted the developers have been working to secure
financing for the project. He explained the project in detail and what areas would be affected by the
amendment if approved then noted the project cost was $254 million and that $22 million in TIF
notes had been pledged upon successful completion. He added the City had contributed no dollars
Minutes/HRA/November 30, 2023
Page 2
to this project to date and the risk fell solely on the developer. Mr. Neuendorf outlined the
amendments in detail which were prepared by the HRA's legal counsel at Dorsey & Whitney and
staff recommended approval of these amendments which would delay the start date for construction
to September 2025 and the completion date until July 2027.
Ted Carlson, Orion Investments, said graffiti had been an ongoing battle but would be addressed
right away. He commented on their intent to still bring this project forward and noted while the
interest rate was high there was still a high demand for the project and that they were confident
lenders and banks would return into the market soon. He noted that as interest rates continued to
increase there were unable to identify a lender even if they had wanted to move forward but added
they remained poised to be prepared when liquidity returns.
The Board asked questions and provided feedback.
Motion by Commissioner Jackson, seconded by Commissioner Pierce, approving the
first amendment to the June 30, 2022, TIF redevelopment agreement for 7001 France
Avenue – Site A and Site B/C – with MDI France Avenue, LLC.
Roll call:
Ayes: Jackson, Pierce, and Hovland

PAYABLE IN 2024 – ADOPTED
Mr. Neal shared the HRA was a separate taxing authority formed by the City Council in 1974. The
purpose of the levy was to pay a portion of the administrative expenses and other economic
initiatives that were necessary to operate the HRA. The levy proposed for 2024 was $251,700,
which was a $7,300 (three percent) increase over the 2023 HRA levy amount. He said HRA
adoption of this resolution was required to establish the HRA levy for 2024 and was recommended
for approval. He noted if no levy and budget resolutions are passed on December 5, then the
Council and HRA are required by statute to act at the next meeting on December 19, 2023.
Commissioner Jackson introduced and moved adoption of Resolution 2023-08 adopting
the proposed budget and establishing the proposed tax levy payable in 2024. Seconded

COMMUNITY IMPACT:
This project will meet many of the seven guiding principles such as enhance the district’s economic viability,
design for the present and the future by pursuing logical increments of change using key parcels as stepping
stones to a more vibrant, walkable, functional, attractive, and life-filled place, organize parking as an effective
resource for the district by linking community parking to public and private destinations while also providing
parking that is convenient for businesses and customers, improve movement within and access to the district
for people of all ages by facilitating multiple modes of transportation, and preserve future transit opportunities
provided by the rail corridor and create an identity and unique sense of place that incorporates natural spaces
into a high quality and sustainable development reflecting Edina’s innovative development heritage.

DESCRIPTION:This project will build a pedestrian bridge over CP Rail, connect to the upper and lower
levels of the Grandview Parking Ramp and provide a sidewalk facility to Arcadia Avenue along the north
property line of the old Public Works Site located at 5146 Eden Avenue. Project ideas and concepts were
shared with the HRA in 2020. The HRA directed staff to continue with this specific bridge project and
awarded a contract in 2021. The bridge was selected to improve connectivity within the Grandview District,
provide additional parking options and routes for properties east of the railroad tracks, and to provide access
to the future development at 5146 Eden Avenue or the former Public Works site. This project aligns with the
Grandview Framework, the 7 guiding principles of the Grandview District and the 2016 Grandview
Transportation Study.
This change order is to update the contract amount to reflect changes encountered during construction. Major
items include
1. Temporary chain link fence at the top of the slope to keep kids off the slope.
