VII. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
VII.A. GRANT AGREEMENT WITH OH CREPE LLC – APPROVED
Economic Development Manager Neuendorf said in 2021, the HRA established the SPARC Fund to
support job creation and investment in Edina. The SPARC Streamlined Grant Program was intended
to provide grants up to $24,000 for the re-occupancy of vacant commercial spaces or expansion of
commercial businesses. He outlined the SPARC program in further detail then said the first business
to use this program was Oh Crepe, LLC. This new coffee shop and crepe bakery located at 4408
France Avenue and would re-occupy the commercial storefront formerly occupied by Caribou
Coffee. The space was last remodeled prior to the adoption of the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) and the front entrance needs to be remodeled in order to create an accessible entrance to
the space. He noted the building was built in the 1920s and remodeling triggered WAC/SAC fees
as well as the rear parking lot needed adjustments. He said staff recommended approval of this
grant agreement then outlined the project amount in detail that totaled $140,000 and the
reimbursable grant amount of $18,000 for opening yet this summer.
Minutes/HRA/May 16, 2024
Page 2
Claire Corvaiser, Oh Crepe, shared her background and further information about her proposed
business. She said she loved the look of the building and how it would fit well with her business and
shared her excitement with being in the community. She shared about the increased costs to
renovate the space due to current requirements which resulted in the request for the grant and said
she was excited to serve the community. She also shared about her current partnership with a cider
company for her product and her excitement to continue that service here.
Steve Young, Arbor Sunnyside Properties Commercial Group, shared their excitement to partner
with Ms. Corvaiser and her crepe offerings then commented about the intended work on the parking
lot to meet the current ADA requirements.
The Board asked questions and provided feedback.
Motion by Commissioner Jackson, seconded by Commissioner Agnew, to approve the
grant agreement with Oh Crepe LLC as presented.
Ayes: Agnew, Jackson, Pierce, and Hovland
Nay: Risser
Motion carried.
VII.B. GRANT AGREEMENT WITH ARBOR SUNNYSIDE PROPERTIES, LLC – APPROVED
Mr. Neuendorf said this grant agreement was also related to the new coffee shop and crepe
bakery located at 4408 France Avenue. He said while the tenant was responsible for the interior
construction and main entrance, the property owner was responsible for other construction on the
site. The small parking lot in the rear of the building had not been improved in many years. The
current design created a single step into the rear of each tenant space. This step limited access into
the rear entrance of the new Oh Crepe business. With this grant funding, the property owner
would reconstruct the parking lot to eliminate the single step that was a barrier for all tenant spaces
and create an accessible parking space compliant with modern codes. Without the grant, the
property owner indicated this reconstruction would be cost prohibitive. He outlined the total
investment of $40,000 with a reimbursable grant amount of $20,000 to open summer of 2024. Staff
recommends approval of the Grant Agreement.
Motion by Commissioner Agnew, seconded by Commissioner Pierce, to approve the
grant agreement with Arbor Sunnyside Properties, LLC as presented.
Ayes: Agnew, Jackson, Pierce, and Hovland
Nay: Risser
Motion carried.
VII.C. 5146 EDEN AVENUE – HOUSING REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS – REPORT
RECEIVED
Mr. Neuendorf said staff had received many inquiries from developers since the previous housing
developer terminated the purchase contract for a portion of the property at 5146 Eden Avenue.
The restaurant partner remained strongly interested in constructing a new restaurant on an adjacent
portion of the site. Based on suggestions and preferences expressed from the HRA Board members,
staff was preparing a Request for Proposal to be released to the real estate development community.
Staff presented key elements of the RFP for discussion and said final input was requested from the
HRA Board before the RFP document was formally released. He outlined the purpose of being open
and transparent, maximized outcomes for the HRA, intention to select the most qualified developer,
site plan details, and purchase price and transaction details to be negotiated as the site plan evolved.
He spoke about the distinct elements for a new place in Edina that included public green space,
restaurant, parking, housing, and walkability. He shared further about the preferred development
program of for-sale townhomes that included the number of units and price point to meet a variety
of income groups then reviewed the amenities balanced against the affordability, materials, and other
Minutes/HRA/May 16, 2024

Stephanie Hawkinson, Affordable Housing Development Manager
Adopt Resolution No. 2024-03 Supporting the Preservation of Affordable Housing at 3400
Parklawn Avenue South and 5010 Summit Avenue
Information / Background:
CommonBond Communities is seeking an $850,000, 0% interest, deferred loan for the refinancing of South
Haven (3400 Parklawn Avenue South) and Summit Point (5010 Summit Avenue). Together these two
buildings provide affordable housing to 129 extremely low-income seniors and individuals with disabilities.
CommonBond acquired the buildings in 2005 and completed moderate renovations in 2006. No significant
improvements have happened since that time.
CommonBond needs to refinance their first mortgage on both properties. Their loan term is 20-years with
30-year amortization that is due this summer. CommonBond also needs financing to address physical and
operational needs. As both properties have been serving very low-income households since 2006, there is
insufficient cash flow to address major mechanical upgrades or aesthetic improvements.
This summer CommonBond is pursuing bond financing together with 4% tax credits from Minnesota
Housing and financial assistance from Hennepin County. The $850,000 deferred loan from the Edina HRA
would be is co-terminus with a deferred loan from Minnesota Housing. The total cost to refinance and
complete necessary improvements on both buildings is estimated at $39,298,388.
Property Information and Resident Population:
Both Summit Point and South Haven were developed in the 1980’s and serve seniors and people with
disabilities with very low incomes. Although older, both properties are well maintained.
South Haven is a 100-unit, 7-story property located at 3400 Parklawn Avenue
Summit Point is a 29-unit, 3-story property located at 5010 Summit Avenue
All 129 units have rental assistance via project-based Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contracts
with the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) (i.e. project-based Section 8). The
HAP contracts are administered by Minnesota Housing. Based on the HAP contracts, residents pay
30% of their income towards rent.
No units are currently reserved for homeless households.
STAFF REPORT Page 2
New restrictions due to refinancing:
o 102 units restricted at 30% AMI or below.
o 13 units designated for homeless households and restricted at 30% AMI or below as required
by Minnesota Housing.
o 14 units restricted at 50% AMI or below:
These 50% AMI units are being added to prevent displacement. Some resident
incomes have grown and if all units remained restricted at 30% AMI, these households
would not income qualify to remain at the properties.
Renovation Scope of Work:
The renovation work CommonBond completed in 2006 was moderate (approximately $35,000/unit worth
of work) and both properties continue to have some of the original components from the 1982
construction. Those original components and other items requiring replacement or repair to extend the
useful life of the properties physical components and/or enhance resident quality are the focus of the scope
of work.
CommonBond is working with LHB Architects and Frerichs Construction to finalize the scope of work for
each building. Initial anticipated scope items include:
Replace and repair sidewalks and parking lot;
Replace windows and first floor sliding glass doors and exterior doors;
Upgrade common areas (flooring, doors, painting, including possible reconfiguration of space);
Upgrade residential units (kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, painting, etc.);
Upgrade accessibility features in common areas where applicable;
Replace mechanical systems (boilers, hot water heaters, water softeners);
Replace waste and vent pipes (South Haven only);
Replace and upgrade site lighting, including common area lighting, with energy efficient LED fixtures;
Upgrade resident access system, and security camera systems.
Since the 2006 renovation, regular maintenance and preventative maintenance have been implemented to
respond to regular physical needs at the property. In addition, property reserves have been utilized for
some more substantial improvements including:
South Haven: parking lot and garage repairs, community renovations, elevator upgrades, security
cameras and CCTV, and LED upgrades.
Summit Point: parking lot, retaining wall and sidewalk repairs, elevator upgrades, and sprinkler system
repairs/upgrades.
Owner Information:
Formed in 1971, CommonBond Communities is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation with a vision that “…every
person has a dignified, affordable home that supports independence and advancement within a flourishing
community.” CommonBond developed, owns and manages over 7,000 affordable rental apartments across
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and South Dakota, including three in Edina. They offer supportive services to
residents to help them be successful renters and to thrive in community.
STAFF REPORT Page 3
Financial Information:
The source for CommonBond’s $850,000 request is the Southdale II TIF Pooled Funds. If awarded, the
balance in this pool will be $1,907,294. The HRA request is 2.2% of the total development cost, or $6,589
per unit. CommonBond is contributing a $5,630,000 Sellers Note and $676,664 Deferred Developer’s Fee.

Alignment With City Values:
Community Engagement
South Haven and Summit Point have been serving some of the most vulnerable and disenfranchised Edina
residents since 2006: very low-income seniors and people with disabilities. This is not the population that
traditionally participates in the public process. Therefore, the Affordable Housing Development Manager and
the Community Engagement Police Officer went to them to share information about the City and to open
lines of communication. Public financial support to help with safety and aesthetic improvements of these
two buildings symbolizes to these Edina residents that they are an important part of our community.
Health in all Policies
The financial request is to support affordable housing where the tenant’s portion of the rent is capped at
30% of their income, thus no resident is housing cost burdened which is a source of stress for 49% of Edina
renters*. The funding will also address the physical health by addressing accessibility, safety and security
needs. In addition, as the buildings have not been renovated in 18-years they appear tired and in need up
upgrades. Investment in the physical environment could be beneficial to the tenants’ lived experiences.
Race and Equity
The refinancing and rehabilitation of both South Haven and Summit Point are necessary for the on-going
operation of these two affordable apartments that serve 129 seniors and people with disabilities who have
very low-incomes. They are two of very few apartments that are 100% covered by HAP contracts.
Although the total project cost, including refinancing the first mortgage, for this work is significant at
$304,639 per unit, it is less than what it would cost to newly construct these two buildings. Their
STAFF REPORT Page 4
preservation maintains the ability for the tenants to stay in Edina, with no alternatives if the buildings were
to increase the rents to market rate, get sold or demolished.
Sustainability
Generally renovating buildings is more environmentally sustainable than demolishing with debris going to
landfills and building new using natural resources. More specifically, the renovation of South Haven and
Summit Point will adhere to the Sustainable Buildings Policy by achieving the required points from Enterprise
Green Communities. For example, CommonBond will be installing more energy efficient mechanical
systems and windows, LED lighting, and energy efficient appliances.

Sustainable Building Policy Waiver Request for South Haven and Summit Point
Information / Background:
Edina’s Sustainable Building Policy was adopted in 2021 requiring developments that seek financial assistance
from the City of Edina or land use incentives to be certified under an eligible Sustainable Building Rating
System at the listed rating level, and meet the standards set forth in the Edina Overlay. The Sustainable
Building Policy supports Edina’s Climate Action Plan goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 45% by 2030
by focusing on new developments and major renovations to minimize emissions and reduce its
environmental impact.
The policy applies to:
1. Major renovations, defined as renovation work performed on an existing building or portion
thereof consisting of at least 10,000 gross square feet (2,500 for municipal buildings) that requires
installation or replacement of mechanical, ventilation or cooling systems.
2. New construction, defined as the planning, design, construction, and commission of a new building.
3. Additions of at least 10,000 square feet to existing buildings if such addition requires installation of
new mechanical, ventilation, or cooling systems.
Applicability to South Haven and Summit Point
The development team for South Haven, 3400 Parklawn Ave and Summit Point, 5010 Summit Ave are
requesting funding from the Housing & Redevelopment Authority, which qualifies as “financial assistance”
per the Sustainability Building Policy. Both projects are major renovations consisting of more than 10,000
square feet and will result in the installation or replacement of mechanical, ventilation or cooling systems.
As such, the requirements of the Sustainable Building Policy will apply if financial assistance is granted.
STAFF REPORT Page 2
Waiver Request

o Waiver request: Install conduit for future charger installation for 15% of parking stalls.
• Edina Overlay for Energy Efficiency Standard
o Requirement: For projects with at least one affordable unit serving residents at or below 60%
AMI in rental buildings, achieve 15 points Enterprise Green Communities 5.2b or a
combination of 5.2a and 5.3b. All other commercial projects must follow B3 Sustainable
Building 2030 Energy Standard.
o Waiver request: Comply with Enterprise Green Communities criteria 5.1b, install new Energy
Star windows, and make each site solar-ready for future solar PV installation. Projects will

o Waiver request: None.
The project development team provided a letter with additional detail on each waiver request and
justification which is included as an attachment to this report.
Waiver Recommendation
If the Housing & Redevelopment Authority grants South Haven or Summit Point’s funding request, triggering
the Sustainable Building Policy, the Sustainability Division recommends granting a partial waiver for both
projects with the following conditions.
STAFF REPORT Page 3
• Sustainable Building Rating System
o Waiver requirement: Waive certification requirement if development team submits a letter of
assurance from Minnesota Housing to confirm project meets their requirements of 2020
Enterprise Green Communities with the 2023-2024 Minnesota Overlay. The development
team must also provide the list of achieved Enterprise Green Communities criteria to the
Sustainability Division to explain how projects achieve a minimum of 70 optional points in
Enterprise Green Communities with the Minnesota Overlay, as well as Intended Methods

These two affordable properties provide housing to seniors who are at or below 30% AMI. Both buildings are over 40 years old, with the last moderate renovation occurring 18 years ago. They are in need of roofing, windows, siding, masonry restoration, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and low voltage work, along with dwelling unit improvements to kitchens, bathrooms, finishes and fixtures. This scope of work is carefully balanced to stabilize the buildings for the next 20 years and incorporate efficiency updates to improve overall building performance and minimize operational costs. The justification for partial waivers is noted below, as applicable to the individual Sustainable Building Policy criteria. In general, this request is being made due to financial burden on the project and infeasibility to implement with the anticipated scope of work. The following summary outlines compliance with and waiver requests for each Sustainable Building Policy Criteria Sustainable Building Rating System Requirement We are requesting a waiver from the certification requirement due to financial burden to certify the project. Based on recent Green Communities certification of another project, this effort adds over $40,000 to the design team fee without substantially increasing sustainability of the building. In lieu of certification, the project proposes the following: Design and renovate both properties to meet 2020 Enterprise Green Communities with the 2023-2024 Minnesota Overlay, as required by Minnesota Housing. Full certification is not required by Minnesota Housing, as they recognize the cost burden to do so. The design team will submit Green Communities documentation at various stages of the project to confirm compliance with program requirements to Minnesota Housing. These documents include the Intended Methods Worksheets (IMW), along with other worksheets as required based on project type and criteria selected. Minnesota Housing will observe implementation of sustainable design strategies during construction.
MARISA BAYER PAGE 2 CITY OF EDINA The project team will request a letter of assurance from Minnesota Housing to confirm points and details of criteria met. We have reviewed this request the Erika Arms, Minnesota Housing Architect, and she agrees to provide a letter at project closeout as needed. Edina Overlay Requirement for Building Greenhouse Gas Emission Predictions Project team will follow this overlay requirement. Edina Overlay Requirement for Electric Vehicle Charging Capability We are requesting a partial waiver of this overlay requirement due to population demographics and financial burden. In lieu of full compliance, the project proposes the following: The project will include electric vehicle charger rough-in for 15% of the surface parking stalls. This deviates from the requirement of 5% installed and 10% roughed in, but provides the required quantity. This requirement was reviewed with property management and residents, who reported that there are no residents, nor staff, on site with electric vehicles currently and none are expected in the foreseeable future. Including EV rough-in will allow the properties to add chargers at a future date if and when the need arises. Edina Overlay Requirement for Energy Efficiency Standard We are requesting a waiver of this overlay requirement due to infeasibility of the strategy. This criteria was reviewed with Scott Thomas of Cain Thomas Associates, who advised that achieving the 15 optional points required from either Green Communities 5.2b or 5.2a and 5.3b combined is not achievable with the given scope of work. In lieu of full compliance, the project proposes the following: The project will be designed to comply with criteria 5.1b, prescriptive path, which includes minimum efficiency requirements for mechanical equipment being replaced, outdoor air rest controls, boiler pipe insulation, ECMs for new air handling units and air conditioner unit insulated covers. Windows will be replaced with new units that meet Energy Star prescriptive requirements for Climate Zone 6. In addition, both sites will include a minimum of 70 optional points in the 2020 Enterprise Green Communities with the 2023-2024 Minnesota Overlay, which is twice the optional points required for a rehabilitation project. Examples of optional criteria to be included at each site: Rough-in for future roof-mounted Solar/PV, WaterSense labeled irrigation controller, water conserving fixtures that exceed Green Communities minimum efficiencies, and strategies to encourage resident recycling and a smoke-free building policy. Edina Overlay Requirement for Bird Safe Glazing Project team will follow this overlay requirement.

EDINA HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
CITY OF EDINA
HENNEPIN COUNTY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 2024-05
MODIFYING THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR THE EDEN WILLSON
REDEVELOPMENT TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT LOCATED WITHIN THE
SOUTHEAST EDINA REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA.
It is hereby resolved by the Board of Commissioners (the "Board") of the Edina Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (the "HRA") as follows:
1. Recitals.
a. The HRA has heretofore established the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Project Area and adopted
the Redevelopment Plan therefor and, through passage of Resolution #2021-12 (the “HRA
Establishing Resolution”) and the City Council’s approval under its Resolution #2021-99 (the “City
Resolution”), established therein the Eden Willson Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District
(the “TIF District”) and adopted a Tax Increment Financing Plan (the “Plan”) therefor.
b. The HRA is the administrative authority for the TIF District and submitted the Plan to the
Minnesota Department of Revenue and Office of the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes
469.175, Subd. 4a and to the Hennepin County Auditor (the “Auditor”) for certification of the TIF
District on June 20, 2022.
c. As a portion of Parcel #18-028-24-32-0029 (the “Parcel”) lies outside the intended TIF District, the
Auditor confirmed it would not be able to certify the TIF District until a division occurs or the
Parcel is removed from the TIF District.
d. The HRA desires to proceed to certify the TIF District and it has been proposed that the HRA
modify the Plan (the “Plan Modification”) for the TIF District all pursuant to and in conformity with
applicable law, including Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 through 469.179 (the “Act”), all
inclusive, as amended, all as reflected herein, and presented for the Board’s consideration.
Generally, the substantive changes to the Plan include an administrative modification to clarify the
removal of the Parcel from the listed property to be included in the TIF District.
e. The HRA has determined that the removal of the Parcel meets the requirements of Minnesota
Statutes 469.175, Subdivision 4(e) as the net tax capacity of the Parcel proposed to be eliminated
from the TIF District equals or exceeds the net tax capacity of the Parcel as originally adopted.
HRA Resolution 2024-05
Page 2
f. The HRA has performed all actions required by law to be performed prior to the adoption and
approval of the proposed Plan Modification. Because of the nature of this Plan Modification, and
because this Plan Modification does not entail an enlargement of geographic area, an increase in the
amount of bonded indebtedness, an increase to the amount of interest on debt, an increase in the
portion of the captured net tax capacity, or an increase in the total estimated tax increment
expenditures, this Plan Modification is not subject to a public hearing requirement.
2. The HRA hereby modifies the description of the property to be included in the TIF District to reflect
the removal of the Parcel as described and illustrated in Exhibit A attached hereto.
3. The HRA hereby reaffirms the original findings for the TIF District, namely: that the TIF District is in the
public interest and is a “redevelopment district” under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 10.
4. The HRA hereby approves the Plan Modification and directs the HRA Executive Director to file the
Plan Modification with the State Department of Revenue, the Office of the State Auditor and the
County Auditor in order to the clarify the original certification request.
Approved by the Board on June 13, 2024.
