VII.C. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING PERTAINING TO REDEVELOPMENT OF
5146 EDEN AVENUE – APPROVED
Economic Development Manager Neuendorf said the item pertained to the potential re-use and
redevelopment of vacant land owned by the Housing & Redevelopment Authority located at 5146
Eden Avenue. The re-use of this site has been discussed for many years and potential ideas have
been pursued since 2008. None of those previous concepts was able to move forward. A
Memorandum of Understanding had been prepared by City Attorney Kendall to establish a
temporary working arrangement with Frauenshuh and United Properties to see what could
realistically be constructed on this site. He outlined the four specific items desired for this site
included a new commercial building, new housing development for-sale/cooperative project for
seniors, public plaza and new pedestrian bridge over railroad tracks with future access path if the
train was no longer used as freight line. Mr. Neuendorf said the City would not want to see any
park and ride as Metro Transit no longer wanted one in this area then explained the site would not
include any publicly-owned facility as it had been concluded a new facility was not big enough and
too expensive. He spoke about fair value of the land and while the City would not receive the
highest price through this method it would be a fair process and include the developer outlining
their methodology on how they determined purchase price and agreed upon prior to any next steps.
He said staff recommended approval of the Memorandum of Understanding.
The Commission asked questions regarding clarification of language in Paragraph C and the 60-day
timeline for approval. Mr. Neuendorf explained the language was designed so a decision was made
in a timely manner and the methodology was not a firm dollar amount but a method explained for
valuation upon full site plan submittal for the property. He outlined the process in more detail then
suggested language amendments to consider methodology for developer’s determination of pricing
within 60 days.
Bill Anderson, Frauenshuh, said it was important within the 60-day timeline to set a framework for
methodology for how valuation would be determined but not necessarily agree to any price. He
said the discussion would be based on specific uses, mix of use, and density and the objective was
not to determine price at this time and felt comfortable they would be able to do so within 60 days.
City Attorney Kendall said if the understanding was that this was just consideration and no approval
staff could modify the memorandum to removal approval language and change to characterization
based on what the development partners wanted as well.
The Commission expressed concerns with the proposal to determine valuation as it could be unfair
to other property owners. Mr. Neuendorf clarified when the buyer and seller were on different
paths a project could potentially not be worth moving forward so the memorandum would provide
direction early on for a realistic plan that both parties would accept.
Minutes/HRA/January 28, 2021
Page 3
Alex Hall, Frauenshuh, confirmed their group would be supportive of proposed density especially
and the would be impacted by the City’s participation with affordable units and density. Mr.
Neuendorf confirmed the City would work with our advisors as well before any decision was made.
The Commission spoke about how project did not include a public building and was contrary to the
Grandview Plan then stressed the importance of concepts and values achieved in any public space.
They stated Paragraph 2G was important as it was non-binding and established valuation framework
and representation for the parties to move forward to next steps and stressed the importance of
seeking independent valuation data as part of this process and be clear on the intent of any property
with appropriate public and mixed use that allowed the developer to be creative to that goal.
Mr. Neal explained the difficulty of this discussion of public space and how staff felt this provision
had been driving the discussions on how to include public buildings. He outlined reasons why the
site could no longer be considered for uses such as a community center, art center, and fire station
and staff’s realization that these uses were no longer feasible.
Motion by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commission Pierce, to approve the
memorandum of understanding as amended in paragraph 4C, consider a methodology
for developers’ determination of purchase price within 60 days of the effective date of
the MOU.
Roll call:
Ayes: Commissioners Anderson, Jackson, Pierce, Staunton, and Chair Hovland
Motion carried.

Methodology to Determine Fair Market Value
March 11, 2021
In order to redevelop the vacant site in a manner consistent with the Grandview Framework Plan and
achieve other goals of the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA), the land is anticipated to
be made available for sale at fair market value provided that the project type desired by the Edina HRA is
constructed. The prospective buyers – Frauenshuh and United Properties – are anticipated to prepare
market-driven development plans that reflect a financeable and buildable project based on fair market land
value.
The parties agree to use the following methodology to establish the land price and terms that allow the
site to be effectively returned to productive use.
(a) The parties recognize that the desired combinations of project types (medical office and senior
co-operative housing) are unlikely to maximize the land value of the vacant site. A more dense
combination of rental housing is likely to be the highest use under current economic conditions.
(b) The buyers agree to share accurate estimates of the total development pro formas to confirm
the appropriateness of the land acquisition costs without inflating developers profit beyond
normally expected returns.
(c) The purchase price of comparable sites with comparable project types located in the 13-county
Twin Cities metropolitan area will be used to determine the fair market value of the site.
(d) Comparable sites are limited to only the specific use types of the buildings included in the
proposed development – medical office and senior co-operative housing, in combined or
separate transactions. Other types of housing including rental apartments and condominiums are
not directly comparable to senior co-operatives. Other types of commercial buildings including
retail and restaurants are not directly comparable to traditional multi-story suburban style
medical office buildings.
(e) The developable square footage of the medical office project and the unit count of the co-
operative residential project will be used to calculate the total fair market value of the land. The
land area used to expand the existing roadways will be deducted from the available square
footage of the property.
(f) Sales of comparable sites will be adjusted to reflect existing and known site conditions including:
(i) land area, topography, geotechnical conditions, environmental conditions, and perimeter
access of site, (ii) date of transaction, (iii) surface parking versus structured parking, and (iv)
center city, urban and suburban location of the sites.
5146 Eden Avenue - Methodology to Determine Fair Market Value Page 2
(g) Fair market value will be adjusted to reflect any increase in the number of affordably-priced
residential units beyond the ten percent (10%) require by City policy.;
(h) Fair market value will be adjusted downward to account for dedicated public access ways,
public plazas or public easements that limit development of the site and are not necessary for
building operations nor required to be included in the FAR, residential density, open space,
setback or permeability requirements of the City or other regulatory agency like the Watershed
District.
(i) Fair market value will be adjusted to reflect unusual site work including environmental
remediation beyond that anticipated by the previously completed geotechnical and
environmental studies and extraordinary engineering solutions required due to existing
topography.
(j) Fair market value will take into consideration the party who bears financial responsibility to
improve the adjacent streets and right of ways.
• The City and HRA will fund improvements to portions of Eden Avenue and the
Eden/Arcadia intersection.
• The City and HRA will fund improvements to portions of Brookside Avenue.
• The buyer will fund additional improvements to Eden Avenue that are essential for the
operation of the site.
• The buyer will fund improvements to adjacent portions of Arcadia Avenue.
• The City and HRA are anticipated to fund or reimburse the developer for costs of
installing a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks.
For the purpose of determining fair market value, the parties agree that the following will NOT be used:
(1) asking prices for properties on the market that may or may not be directly comparable and are
not under contract;
(2) Projects that have received tax increment financing or other governmental assistance for the
purpose of reducing the buyer’s total development cost unless an adjustment is made in the land
acquisition costs of the comparable site; and
(3) land sales or contracts for comparable sites prior to 2014.

Home Rehabilitation Program
Information / Background:
Staff is seeking to create a housing rehabilitation pilot program to augment the program offered by Hennepin
County. The City of Edina provides a limited amount of home rehabilitation funding to Hennepin County
through our allocation of CDBG funds. As these funds are Federal, there are strict parameters for how they
can be used and who is eligible to use them. Staff is seeking to create a pilot program within the City with
broader criteria to fulfill two city goals: 1) Preserve modest homes, and 2) Promote sustainability.
The rehab program administered by Hennepin County is limited to households with income at or below
80% of the Area Median Income. The loan is deferred with a zero-percent interest rate and is forgiven after
15 years if the borrower remains in the home.
The program proposed by staff would be available to households with incomes up to 125% of the Area
Median Income; is deferred with a 2% simple interest, with the option for principal and interest forgiveness if
the house is sold to the HRA to be placed into a Land Trust through West Hennepin Affordable Housing
Land Trust or is added to the Metro HRA affordable housing program.
Loans must be used first to address health, safety and outstanding code violations. If there are no
outstanding health, safety or code violations the funds may be used for energy improvements as
recommended through a Home Energy Squad Visit. If all of the previous items are addressed, or are not
needed, the funds may be used for any permanent interior or exterior improvement including, but not
limited to: increasing physical accessibility, roofing, siding, windows, doors, garage repair or replacement,
interior remodeling, sidewalks/steps, driveways, solar installations and permanent landscaping. Ineligible
activities would include recreation or luxury items, playground equipment, non-permanent fixtures, etc.
Program Guidelines
Please refer to Exhibit A. In Sum:
• Loan Amount: $2,000-$30,000
• Loan Terms: 2% deferred for 30-years

• Income limit: 125% of AMI
• House value limit: $450,000
• Loan to Value Ratio: 110%
• Loan Administrator: Center for Energy and the Environment
• Loan Servicer: Community Reinvestment Fund
Budget Implications
Staff is seeking $250,000 for this pilot program. These funds will be augmented by the funding received for
the Home Energy Squad for their visits.

Sustainability
The Home Rehabilitation Program has been designed in partnership with the Sustainability Coordinator to
help improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of Edina’s older housing stock. To that end, in addition
to a home advisor meeting with the borrowers to discuss health, safety and code issues, the borrowers will
also meet with the Home Energy Squad to identify mechanisms to increase energy efficiency. The Home
Energy Squad program is already offered to Edina Homeowners, so this pairing of the two program brings
rehabilitation dollars to help address identified issues.
Equity and Inclusion
The primary purpose of this proposed program to is assist low- and moderate-income homeowners with
their rehabilitation needs, including addressing accessibility issues. A secondary goal is to potentially secure
moderate homes for future affordability. The loan with be secured by a mortgage with a term of 30-years.
If a borrower sells their home within the 30-years they can either sell on the open market and repay the
HRA the principal plus interest, or if they sell to the HRA for the appraised value, the loan will be forgiven.
STAFF REPORT Page 3
This is a mechanism to help preserve homes for future affordability. There is no guarantee that any home
with be preserved, but it brings this option directly to the borrower.
Engagement
This type of program was recommended by the Housing Strategy Task Force:
Strategy: Encourage Preservation and promotion of Diverse Housing Stock
• Encourage the preservation, maintenance and rehabilitation of existing subsidized
and naturally occurring affordable rental and ownership housing.
• Support program(s) for assisting income eligible property owners with rehabilitating
their homes to extend their useful life.
The Home Rehabilitation Loan program has been reviewed and is supported by the Edina Housing
Foundation.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Home Rehabilitation Pilot Program and authorization to engage City
Attorney to draft loan documents and contracts with Center for Energy and the Environment and
Community Reinvestment Fund.

I N TR O D U C TI O N:
On November 12, 2020, the H R A approved $2,000,000 to expand the M etro H R A’s Family Affordable Housing
P rogram. T he basics of the approved program were as follows:
· Edina H R A would acquire single family houses and lease to M etro H R A for $1.00 each.
· M etro H R A would maintain and manage the houses and make available to families who qualify for
their program.
After further consideration and in consultation with the C ity attorney and financial advisor, Staff proposes
amending the approved program to instead provide the M etro H R A with a $2,000,000 forgivable loan whereby
they acquire the single family houses, own, maintain and manage. T his would streamline the process as E dina
already has an agreement with Metro H R A rather than creating a brand new program.

On November 12, 2020, the HRA approved $2,000,000 to expand the Metro HRA’s Family Affordable
Housing Program. The basics of the approved program were as follows:
• Edina HRA would acquire single family houses and lease to Metro HRA for $1.00 each.
• Metro HRA would maintain and manage the houses and make available to families who qualify for
their program.
After further consideration and in consultation with the City attorney and financial advisor, Staff proposes
amending the approved program to instead provide the Metro HRA with a $2,000,000 forgivable loan
whereby they acquire the single family houses, own, maintain and manage. This would streamline the
process as Edina already has an agreement with Metro HRA rather than creating a brand new program.
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 will increase.
Loan Terms
• 25-years, 0% interest
• Forgiven at year 25 when all conditions are met:
o Houses are rented to households with TIF compliant incomes.
o Metro HRA provides annual reports to Edina HRA.
o Properties are maintained.

S taff has been in communication with R euter Walton Development regarding their redevelopment concept for the
P erkins restaurant site at 4917 E den Avenue.
T he developers have requested that the H R A explore the use of Tax I ncrement Financing on this site. T I F could
be a useful financial strategy to redevelop the site and achieve goals of the community. For example, the
Grandview Framework and T ransportation plans envision several roadway improvements in this area. T I F could
be an effective mechanism to achieve this type of community benefit.
S taff intends to explore T I F financing options for this site in the weeks ahead. Updates will be provided when
options are identified.
