Mr. McDonald noted based on the last discussion with the City Council, the

be relocated. He also noted Ryan Companies has invested a substantial
amount of resources to determine the feasibility of the project. He introduced
Mark Schoening of Ryan Companies.
Mr. Mark Schoening indicated Ryan Companies expressed support of the
restated interim agreement and noted Ryan Companies would not be
continuing to explore the project if they did not believe they could find a
solution for a redevelopment project. He noted they are very encouraged by
the cooperation shown by all involved parties.
Mr. Tom Carrico, regional real estate manager for Target Corporation, was
recognized. He indicated Target is interested in the potential redevelopment
of the 42ndf\Vinnetka A venue site. He expressed support for the project.
Commissioner Stauner expressed concern regarding language contained in

substance subdistrict within the district if eligible costs exist and for such
period of time and for such parcels as permitted by statute".
The EDA agreed with Mr. Schoening's recommendation to change the word
"will" to "is willing to consider".
Commissioner Hoffe inquired of the financial aspects.
Mr. Jim Casserly of Krass Monroe reported that additional financial
information would be completed by July 31 and shared with the
Council/EDA. Mr. Casserly commented on the impact of lower property
valuations related to tax increment.
The EDA briefly discussed the project including the relocation of the school
district administration office, the negotiation process with businesses in the
project area, project finances, and the interim agreement. Mr. McDonald noted
if it is determined the project is not feasible, the agreement could be
terminated prior to August of 2009 by mutual agreement of the parties.
Mr. Schoening spoke of Ryan Companies' experience vvith similar projects
and noted they use highly qualified professionals to conduct the necessary
research in determining project feasibility.
The EDA expressed its appreciation for Ryan Companies' efforts.

$1.00 of the unpaid payment to defray the costs of the Lender incident to collecting such
late payment. This late charge shall apply individually to all payments past due and
there will be no daily pro rata adjustment. This provision shall not be deemed to excuse

notice of non-payment are waived. Consent is given to any extension or alteration of
the time or terms of payment hereof, any renewal, any release of any part or all of the
security given for the payment hereof, any acceptance of additional security of any kind,
and any release of, or resort to any party liable for payment hereof. To the extent
permitted by law all rights and benefits of any statute of limitations, and any moratorium,
reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption,
appraisement, exemption and homestead laws are waived.
12. Savings Clause. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of
the Borrower and Lender at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable
United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge,
take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of interest than permitted under state law)
and that this section shall control every other covenant and agreement in this Note and
any other Loan Document. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to
render usurious any amount called for under this Note or under any other Loan
Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note ("indebtedness"), or if the Lender's exercise of
the option to accelerate the maturity of this Note, or if any prepayment by the Borrower
results in the Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable
law, then it is the express intent of the Borrower and Lender that all excess amounts
theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the Principal Balance and all other
amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the Principal Balance and
all other Indebtedness (or, if this Note and all other Indebtedness have been or would
3
thereby be paid in full, refunded to the Borrower), and the provisions of this Note and
the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts
thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the
execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to
permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder.
All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of
the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Indebtedness until
payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness
does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to
the Indebtedness for so long as the Indebtedness is outstanding. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is
not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not
accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of
such acceleration.
13. Notices. Any notices and other communications permitted or required by
the provisions of this Note (except for telephonic notices expressly permitted) shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served by depositing the
same with the United States Postal Service, or any official successor thereto,
designated as Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, bearing adequate postage, or
deposited with reputable private courier or overnight delivery service, and addressed as
hereinafter provided. Each such notice shall be effective three (3) days after being
deposited or delivered as aforesaid. The time period within which a response to any
such notice must be given, however, shall commence to run from the date of receipt of
the notice by the addressee thereof. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability
to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to
be receipt of the notice sent. By giving to the other party hereto at least ten (10) days'
notice thereof, either party hereto shall have the right from time to time to change its
address and shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the
United States of America.

Hello Curtis,
PPL has recently applied ror and been awarded $300,000 from Hennepin County Affordable Housing
Incentive Funds program. We applied ror these funds so we could have assistance \vith holding costs in this
slow housing market. In order to get the funds released to PPL we must do the rollowing:
In accordance with the HCHRA legislation; the HCHRA is required to obtain municipal authorization to fund
an AHIF project that is located within the corporate limits or the municipality. Acceptable authorization is an
executed Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA); Economic and Development Authority (EDA) or
City Council Board Resolution rrom the municipality prior to the loan closing.
I am attaching a drart resolution you can use ror the EDA to approve PPLs use or these funds. Your help in
getting this on the agenda is very appreciated. Please let me h10'YV if you have any additional questions or
need additional inrormation.
Thalli<:s agam ror your help.

PPL will continue to coordinate our marketing efforts with area aaencies, specificallY Northside
Neighborhood Housina Services (NHS), Community Action for Suburban Henneoin (CASH), and
Powderhorn Residents Grouo (PRG), which soecialize in servina underserved oooulations throuah
homebuyer workshoos. The agencies are spread throughout the Twin Cities in order to best serve
all ootential buyers. NHS is located in North Minneapolis, PRG in South Minneapolis and CAPSH has
various locations.
These oraanizations orovide certified homebuyer trainina courses, as well as one-to-one counselina
for primarily first-time homebuyers. They target their outreach to persons who lack access to more
traditional avenues to purchasing a home, due to lanquaae and/or cultural barriers, unfamiliarity
with the standard documentation required bv lenders, and/or orevious negative experiences with
unscruoulous members of the housina industry.
PPL will continue to provide marketing and contact information on these houses to all of these
organizations, which, in turn, will continue to refer interested homebuyers who have completed
their training course(s). All agencies maintain a list of people interested in for sale oroperties.
Both PPL and NHS/PRG/CASH work together with orospective homebuyers interested in one of
I these houses to identify a reputable lender or link up with one of special financing programs offered
I throuah the Citv or State. The homebuyer trainina to be orovided bv NHS, CASH and/or PRG is
2008 He HOME Homeownership Application

critical since most financing programs available from the City or State, and many offered through
private lenders, require completion of a certified homebuver training course.
PPL utilizes a "Purchase Agreement Guidelines and Preferences" sheet (see Tab N) during the
marketing period. The sheet, which outlines our guidelines and preferences, allows PPL to assure
that our properties are sold to the targeted populations.
In addition to these special marketing efforts, PPL has recently selected Edina Realtv to be the
marketing/listing agent. PPL, Edina Realty and MindSpark Creative have developed a marketing
plan to achieve the greatest market exposure. Other less traditional marketing efforts and even
options of last resort have been developed as well incase our current efforts are not sufficient. A
summary of our marketing plan and strategies are attached as Tab O.
The project has many unique features that will appeal to the underserved population we are
targeting. We are proposing a variety of unit designs and sizes that will work well for a variety of
household types.. Young families with children, extended families, single parents, the differently-
abled and seniors will all find plans and options that will well serve their needs and lifestvles.
Finallv, PPL has a strong reputation for providing quality housing at affordable prices and is known
for our willingness and skill in serving homebuvers' needs before, during, and after the sale.

I Project Description
Provide a brief description of the project. Discuss any unique features of the project and provide a
precise description of the targeted population(s) to be served including the anticipated income
levels and affordability of the units for the targeted population. (Limit one page)
In September 2007, PPL completed the construction of Linden Park Condominiums, a 41 unit
condominium project I\Jew Hope. To date we have closed on 11 units (includino 1 HOME unit),
Prices for the l+den, 2, 2+den, and 3+den units range $139,900 to $199,900. Sales of
approximatelv half of the units are restricted to households earnino 80% or less of the Area fv'ledian
Income and the balance are market rate. Based on the previous two years of marketing the taroet
market for this development has been voung as well as mature households with few or no children,
with emplovment. familv or social connection in and around the New Hope area. Manv of these
I households earn around the median income or less and thev have found the sales prices to be both
affordable and competitive compared to comparable developments.
Interest in the development has been strono since we beoan presales in 2005, however, the
tiohtening of the mortgage credit markets have made purchasing no lonoer an option for manv
families and the overall downturn in the real estate market has sionificantly decreased our
anticipated sales absorption rate to about 1 unit per month. ror example, empty nesters have
found this development to be attractive but thev have either been reluctant to sion purchase
agreements or have delaved their c1osinos because of the difficulty thev face in sellino their
existino homes. This soft market has resulted in projected financing gap of approximately
$650,000. Based on the current absorption schedule, without additional assistance we project that
we will not earn a developer fee and in fact will lose approximatelY $200,000.
iv'linnesota Housino has committed an additional $100,000 in value gap financing to the proiect to
help close the oap.
2008 He HOME Horneo\\'11ership Application
15
Our request to Hennepin Countv is is for $390,000 in value gap assistance to increase the per unit
HOME subsidy amount on the original 6 HOME units from $45,000 to $60,000 and to support an
additional 5 HOME units at $60,000 per unit (total of 11 HOME units). We are also requesting
$50,000 in affordability gap to assist 5 additional HOME buyers.
We are aware that we are asking Hennepin County to increase the per unit HOME subsidy amount
above the typical per unit amount and we do not make this request lightly. We have taken
numerous steps and made significant efforts in the hopes of keeping this project in balance without
the need for additional assistance. Here are just a few:
-Changed General Contractors after the bid. In doing so we were able to reduce the construction
cost by nearly $400K through value engineering (bringing it back in line with the original budget)
and increase the quality of the construction at the same time.
-Successfully petitioned the State Department of Revenue for a sales tax exemption for building
materials, saving over $100,000.
-Renegotiated the construction loan saving approximately $50,000 durinq the 12 month
construction period.
-Increased marketing efforts and changed approach. Such as increased print and direct advertisinq,
enhanced marketing materials, participated in the Parade of Homes and Affordable Home Tour, and
changed realtors as of 1.1.08.
-Reduced our developer fee.
Our primary objective at this point is to sell units and increase the absorption rate. The longer it
takes to sell out, the higher our holding costs and construction loan interest will be. Bringing
additional HOME value gap assistance into the project will benefit the proiect in a number of ways.
First, a reduction in the construction loan of $390,000 will save the project about $30,000 annually
in interest. Next, the additional assistance will improve our bottom line which will allow us the
flexibilitv to reduce prices if that is necessary to keep to our absorption goals (I would note that we
would likely reduce prices on the HOME units since the sales of the HOME-assisted units have not
kept pace thus far). Finallv, additional subsidy will reduce the amount of equity we will have to put
into the project and therefore reduces the likelihood that we will default on the construction loan
with the construction lender. Defaulting on the oroiect not only has dire consequences for PPL but
I also wipes out any affordability requirement attached to the project.
I We are hooeful that with the continued supoort of our oartners and with a siGnificant oroanizational
and financial commitment on our Dart we will be able to realize a hard-foucht but successful c1ose-
I out of this oroiect.
I
I
I We also ask that the term of the existinG HOME assistance be extended.
I
Describe how the project creates new affordable housing units; preyents the loss of viable units or
significantly changes the composition of those units.
The oroiect creates 41 new units with very affordable sales orices. Our larger reauest will create 5
additional HOrVlE units and the additional assistance may in fact prevent the loss of viable units.
Finally, additional assistance will eliminate or lessen our losses on the oroiect and supoorts the
financial will beina of our orGanization ensurina our ability to continue to be a siGnificant producer
of affordable housina in the I win Cities.

I Project Affordability
Describe the length of time the project is proposed to provide long-term affordable housing and
how this will be achieved and the applicants/others involvement long term to ensure this.
I Describe the desired terms of the HOME assistance to address the required Resale/Recapture
provisions for all HOME-assisted homeownership units.
The term of the value gap assistance is to be a grant. The affordabilitv assistance made directly to
the buver will be secured bv a 15-vear mortqaqe.
Describe the need in the market for this homeownership option. Describe any other options for the
population you intend to serve. For proposed land trust models include a specific description of the
market for the land in the area and how it influences the cost of housing in the market. Attach any
documentation (market study! local comprehensive plans! etc.) for project need at TAB P.
Although the real estate market has slowed, the need for affordable for-sale housing of this tvpe in
New Hope is still great. New Hope is an attractive communitv with excellent amenities and a
growing employment base. The market study developed by Maxfield Research forecasts rapid iob
growth in New Hope and even stronger job growth in Plymouth (located immediatelv west of the
project site), however, manv of the iobs created pav low to moderate wages and there are few
ownership opportunities affordable to these workers. Resale values of townhomes and
condominiums in the Studv Area increased from a median price of $106,558 in 1999 to $165,595
as of June 2003, a gain of 55.4% in less than four vears. The tvpe of emplovment growth in this
reqion combined New Hope's location as a first ring suburb creates a natural market and need for
ownership opportunities for households earning less than 80% of the area median income. The
need is there currentlv, and will continue to be there, however the soft market means that
absorption rates are lenathened.
Other factors illustrate the need for new affordable ownership options in New Hope as well.
Typically, multi-familv for sale housing provides the most affordable ownership option in a
community and this housing tvpe has been very limited in New Hope. At the time of the Market
Study, there were three active for-sale townhome developments in the Market Area: Town Gardens
in Brooklyn Parle Parkside Acres in Crystal. and Sunrise Marsh in Plymouth. Prices are from the low
$200's to the low $400's. Since 2006 there have been three other for-sale multifamily
developments completed in New Hope: a 180 unit Ryland townhome development with sales from
the $180's to the $300's; a townhouse development by Master Engineering with sales from the
$220's to $300,000; and a senior cooperative near our project site with 2-bedroom units with sales
from the $150's to the $250's. According to the fv1LS data as of Feb 2008 the median sale price of
townhomes built in New Hope since 2000 is $237,175. The median sale price of condos/coops built
since 2004 in New Hope (including Linden Park) is $164,955.
I
, Also, this deyelopment creates life-cycle housina choice and we have found that market has
responded well to this. The 11 units we have closed to date represent both ends of the spectrum of
the demoaraphic continuum--from singles Durchasina their first home to empty nesters downsizina
from their sinqle-family homes.
Finally, the need for this proiect is consistent with the aoals articulated for the HOME program;
1. Supports a Hiah Prioritv aoal of the 2005-2009 Hennepin Countv Five-Year Consolidated Plan of
2008 He HOME Homeovmership Application
17
providing increased opportunities for homeownership to households with incomes below 80% of the
area median income.
2. Development creates new affordable units.
3. Provides additional housing choices by creating lower priced L 2 and 3 bedroom condominium
units.
4. Location on a bus line in an established inner-ring suburb provides links to transportation, iobs,
and services.
The market study prepared by Maxfield Research in 2003 that was submitted with our original
annlication is attached as Tab P.
Property lLocation(s)
Describe how the location(s) of the housing opportunities in whole or part, of the HOME assistance,
provide and promote greater choice and will not create undue concentration of poverty of any given
area.
The proposed development is in a suburb of Minneapolis that is not povertv concentrated. As stated
earlier, the project's location in a city with a homogenous housing stock is designed to provide
expanded choice for households who are not currently well served in the area. The development
provides greater housing choice by creating housing types (such as entry-level and move-down
housing for empty nesters, accessible housing, association maintained housing, etc.) that is not
present in the City of New Hope, is not being developed, or is not affordable to the target
population.
Describe how the project location(s) will connect the population to jobs, transportation, and
community resources.
Linden Park Condominiums are located on Boone Avenue North in New Hope, 1/4 mile south of
Countv Road 10 Transit Corridor (Bass Lake Road) which will be of particular benefit to residents.
Public transit routes are located on both of these routes orovide connections to area services and
emplovment centers such as New Hooe Mall (Route 756 on Boone Ave), Brookdale (Route 715 on
54th St), and Crossroads North Business Park, North Hennepin Communitv Colleqe, Henneoin
Technical College and the MN Workforce Center (Route 721 on Bass Lake Rd). Other nearbv
employers include Liberty Diversified Industries located in the manufacturinq and technolooy
I business park adjacent to Hwy 169 and North Ridge Care Center located across the street.
I The project is located nearby a variety of communitv resources including city oarks and fields,
I schools, recreational facilities, retail and convenience centers, and healthcare providers (see the
Map attached as Tab D).
