(the “Enabling Ordinance”), the City Council established the Edina West Housing Improvement Area (the “Edina
West HIA”) in order to facilitate certain improvements to property described in the Enabling Ordinance and
designated the City as the implementing entity, all in accordance with the Housing Improvement Act.
1.03 Owners of approximately 89.5% of the housing units within the Edina West HIA (which exceeds
the requirement for owners of at least 50% of the housing units pursuant to Section 428A.12 of the Housing
Improvement Act and the requirement for owners of at least 70% of the housing units pursuant to the City’s

Association, including but not limited to improvements to the building exteriors; improvements to garages and
tunnel; site and driveway improvements and water mitigation; improvements to common areas and the swimming
pool, and mechanical system, plumbing, and electrical improvements and upgrades, all in accordance with

provided in Sections 428A.14 and 428A.15 of the Housing Improvement Act.
