the proposed levy of a special benefit levy pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section  469.033, subdivision 6 and approval of a preliminary budget for fiscal year 2021.    Mr. Kirk McDonald, city manager, recommended setting the preliminary EDA  levy at $365,000, which is an increase of $17,000 from last year. He stated the EDA  levy helps fund redevelopment projects.     Council Member London commented that a large portion of the EDA budget is to  cover salaries. He noted the initial objective of the EDA levy was to acquire  properties for rehabilitation. He suggested the city increase the number of homes  acquired for redevelopment.    It was noted the EDA budget will be reviewed at the September work session.    RESOLUTION 2020‐08  Item 4  Commissioner Elder introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption  “RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PROPOSED LEVY OF A SPECIAL

I:\RFA\COMM DEV\2020\EDA\Scattered Site Housing\Q ‐ 4215 Louisiana Ave N Lot Sale 09‐28‐20.docx    Request for Action  September 28, 2020    Approved by: Kirk McDonald, City Manager  Originating Department: Community Development  By: Jeff Alger, Community Development Specialist;   Jeff Sargent, Director of Community Development  Agenda Title  Resolution approving purchase and redevelopment agreement with Great Buy Homes, Inc. for the sale of 4215  Louisiana Avenue North (improvement project no. 1047)  Requested Action  Staff requests that the Economic Development Authority conduct a public hearing and approve a resolution  approving the sale of the scattered site lot located at 4215 Louisiana Avenue North to Great Buy Homes.  Policy/Past Practice  The Economic Development Authority reviews proposals for the redevelopment of scattered site housing  properties prior to executing a contract with the preferred buyer/builder.  Background  The Economic Development Authority (EDA) acquired the property located at 4215 Louisiana Avenue North  for $125,000 in March of 2020, as part of the city’s scattered site housing program. The building was constructed  in 1961 as a single‐family home and was later converted into office space. The building was demolished in July  of 2020 and the lot has been prepared for construction of a new single‐family home. The parcel was rezoned  from CB, Community Business to R‐1, Single‐family Residential in July and a Request for Proposals (RFP)  marketing the lot was sent to more than 20 builders on July 28, 2020. The non‐negotiable minimum lot sale  price was set at $60,000 and builders were allowed the opportunity to submit a higher offer in order to make  their proposal more competitive. The RFP stipulated that the proposed house “must be an owner‐occupied,  single‐family home.” The occupancy requirement applies to the first buyer for period of two years. The RFP  required the installation of a fence along the south property line and coniferous trees at the southwest corner  of the lot to help with screening the adjacent commercial properties. Language was included within the RFP  encouraging bidders to provide additional landscaping along the south property line to aid in screening. It was  stated within the RFP that the evaluation process would involve a review of landscaping plans and submissions  that included such plans would be viewed favorably. The RFP also required that curbing be restored along  Louisiana Avenue North. Proposals were due on August 12, 2020. The EDA received two proposals from the  following builders:   Great Buy Homes (preferred)   Novak‐Fleck, Inc.  Staff reviewed the proposals with the city manager and selected the submittal from Great Buy Homes as the  “preferred” proposal. The proposal includes the highest lot purchase price ($69,000), the highest projected sale  price ($380,000), the most finished square footage (2,537), the most bedrooms (5) and bathrooms (3), and a three‐ stall garage. The proposed home features a split‐level design with a high level of curb appeal, including  cultured stone façade that incorporates address numbers into the design, board and batten siding, and front  door sidelights. The builder submitted a landscaping plan that shows a wood fence along the south property  line, seven feet tall behind the front‐of‐house and 42 inches tall in front of the house. It includes the three  required coniferous trees at the southwest corner of the lot and the two required deciduous trees within the  Agenda Section EDA Item Number  4    Request for Action, Page 2    front and rear yard. In addition to what was required in the RFP, the landscaping plan includes four additional  coniferous trees along the south property line to aid the fence in screening the adjacent property.    The base characteristics and attributes of each proposal are summarized as follows:

Great Buy Homes is a mid‐sized custom home builder based out of Anoka. The city has sold six lots to Great  Buy Homes over the past four years. Each of the homes has sold for higher than the projected sale price.  Addresses for those homes, sale price, and year of sale are as follows:   5400 Yukon Ave N: $297,000 (2017)   6065 Louisiana Ave N: $325,000 (2018)   6067 Louisiana Ave N: $323,900 (2018)   7215 62nd Ave N: $350,821 (2019)   5353 Oregon Ave N: Plans under review (original projected sale price of $350,000, listed for $380,000)   5355 Oregon Ave N: Under construction (original projected sale price of $350,000, listed for $365,000  and pending on MLS)    Cost & Tax Impact of Improvements  It is anticipated that expenses associated with the project will be approximately $170,441.53. Revenue from the  sale of the lot will be $69,000, resulting in an estimated loss of $101,441.53. The proposed improvements would  result in a substantial increase in the taxable value of the property. If the lot were to be valued at $380,000 in    Request for Action, Page 3    2021, approximately $131,000 in market value would be added to the property upon completion. Such a  valuation would result in an estimated increase of $786, or 43.41%, in taxes payable to the city in 2022, as  compared to taxes payable in 2020. Due to lower than expected demolition costs, a higher than expected lot  sale price, and a higher than expected projected taxable market value for the future home, this is $304, or  16.78%, higher than what was projected when the acquisition of the property was approved in February of  2020.    Old House New House  Taxable Market Value 2019,  Payable 2020

Payable 2022 (estimated)  Change % Change  $1,810.79 $2,596.79 $786.00 43.41%    City staff worked with the city’s financial consultant, AEM, to develop a new template for evaluating scattered  site housing projects. The template has modified Return On Investment (ROI) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR)  calculations to include assumptions. It utilizes an estimated 3% tax value growth rate, which is applied to both  the original taxable market value for the old home and the increased taxable market value for the new home,  both over 30 years. These calculations are shown on the “Tax Calculator” spreadsheet, which is attached. The  annual difference between the values is shown in the “New Taxable Value” tab within the spreadsheet. The  projected increase in taxes allocated to the city each year for the subject parcel is shown in the “Projected City  Taxes on New Taxable Market Value” tab and is calculated based on the new taxable value. As stated in the  Tax Calculator spreadsheet, “The equation for calculating property taxes, in its most simplistic form, is Taxable  Market Value X Property Tax Class Rate X City Tax Rate. The Taxable Market Value in this calculation is  assumed based on the cityʹs projections for growth in property value due to the improvements. The Property  Tax Class Rates are set by the State of MN and stay fairly consistent from year to year (there have been changes  in commercial industrial, however; residential is mostly constant). The city’s Tax Rate changes every year based  on the levy certified and the overall tax value of the city. So, the Tax Rate used in this illustration is an  assumption. The city’s rate has varied between 58‐63% in recent years. Property taxes are calculated on taxable  market value, not estimated market value. It is of important note, that this calculation does not take into  consideration the market value exclusion which is applied to residential properties under $413,800 in value.”    While developing the new template, AEM also recommended a change in the way ROI is calculated for each  project. Previously, the formula used was (Total Returns+Selling Price‐Investment Cost)/Investment Cost. The  adjusted formula subtracts the sale price from the divisor. It is (Total Returns+Selling Price‐Investment  Cost)/(Investment Cost‐Selling Price). This more accurately represents the city’s net upfront investment into a  project.    The city’s initial investment of $101,441.53 into the project would result in additional taxes being allocated to  the city from the subject property. The following table illustrates the ROI and tax benefit associated with the  estimated increase in taxable property value with an assumed 3% tax value growth rate over the next several  years:       Request for Action, Page 4    # of Years (Year) Additional Taxes

The estimated ROI for the project over 30 years is ‐63.14%. The Internal Rate of Return (IROR) for the project  over 30 years is ‐5.01% (calculation attached). As stated previously, the method for calculating ROI has changed  since the last analysis was presented.    The primary focus of the scattered site program is to target distressed single‐family properties throughout the  city, with the goal of improving residential neighborhoods. It is understood that potential losses are incurred  on each project, as the cost to acquire and redevelop distressed properties often exceeds the value of the new  or rehabilitated home.    Development Agreement and Next Steps  Staff worked with the assistant city attorney to draft a resolution and Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement  for the sale of the lot. The agreement ensures that the provisions set forth in the RFP will be met and sets the  purchase price of the lot at $69,000. The agreement included in the attachments is considered complete by staff  and the city attorney; however, some minor revisions may be necessary once fully reviewed by the buyer. Any  substantial changes to the agreement would be presented to the EDA for approval. The RFP stipulates that  closing must occur within 60 days of approval of the sale. The Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement  stipulates that the home must be completed within a year of the closing date.  Funding  Funding for this project would come from the EDA budget. The city has an annual budget of $250,000 for  scattered site projects and has expended approximately $207,304 on projects this year.

Representations of Buyer. As an essential part of this Agreement and in order to induce Seller to enter into this Agreement and sell the Property, Buyer hereby represents to Seller: a. SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING REPRESENTATIONS BY SELLER, BUYER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER IS PURCHASING THE PROPERTY IN “AS IS” CONDITION AS TO THE USE OF THE PROPERTY.

Buyer has the right, at its own expense to take soil samples for the purpose of determining if the soil is suitable for construction of the homes described in paragraph 10 below.

To insure the intent of the parties that the home constructed on the Property is purchased by an owner- occupant, Buyer will record restrictive covenants and assessment agreement against the Property prohibiting the leasing of the home for a period of two (2) years after the sale of such home by Buyer to an owner-occupant of the home. The restrictive covenants and assessment agreement shall be substantially in the form of the documents attached hereto as Exhibits C and D, respectively. Further, the restrictive covenants and assessment agreement shall provide that the EDA may levy a $20,000.00 assessment on the Property prior to the sale if the lot is not being sold to an owner-occupant. The EDA shall release the Property from these restrictive covenants and assessment agreement upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the construction of the home on the Property and upon the receipt by the EDA of an affidavit signed by Buyer and the owner- occupants verifying owner-occupants’ intent to reside in the homes as their primary residence in compliance with the restrictive covenants described herein in the form attached as Exhibit C. 3 c.

Title Commitment and Policy. a. Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Commitment for an ALTA Form B owner's policy of title insurance (the “Commitment”) issued by a title insurance company of Buyer’s choice (“Title Company”) and covering title to the Property, in the amount of the Purchase Price. Buyer agrees to pay the costs associated with the preparation and issuance of the Commitment; Buyer shall pay the premium for the owner’s policy, if any, and the lender’s policy, if any, along with the price for any endorsements requested by Buyer or Buyer’s lender. b. Buyer shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Commitment to review and approve the title to the Property and to object to any exception to title that is disclosed in the Commitment or which is otherwise discovered by Buyer. In the event that Buyer does not within such fifteen (15) day period give notice to Seller objecting to any such exceptions, then all such exceptions shall be deemed approved and shall be considered a part of the Permitted Encumbrances. If Buyer timely objects to an exception to title, then on or before the tenth (10) day following Buyer’s notice of exception, Seller shall remove the exception or notify Buyer that Seller is unwilling or unable to remove the exception. Within five (5) days of any notice by Seller that Seller it is unable to remove an exception to title, Buyer may elect by notice to Seller to either: (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon all of the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and the parties shall be released from all further obligations hereunder except obligations under this Agreement which provide for continued exercise following the cancellation or other termination of this Agreement; or (ii) elect to have this Agreement remain in effect, in which event Buyer will be deemed to have approved the previously-cited exception and the same shall be considered part of the Permitted Encumbrances. 4 6. Closing. a. Closing shall occur on or before November 30, 2020 (the “Date of Closing” or “Closing”), unless both parties agree, in writing, to an earlier or later time. b.

Seller will pay general real estate taxes payable in the year prior to the year of closing and all prior years. Buyer shall pay at Closing the cost of the owner’s policy or lender’s policy of title insurance (if any), sales tax (if any) resulting from the Closing, the fees required for recording the Deed, the Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement, the assessment agreement and restrictive covenants and all customary closing fees charged by the Title Company or other closing agent to both Seller and Buyer, if any, utilized to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. General real estate taxes payable in the year of closing shall be prorated by Seller and Buyer as of the closing date based upon a calendar year. Each party shall pay its own attorney’s fees. 8.

Construction of the Minimum Improvements must be substantially completed within one (1) year following Closing. Construction will be considered substantially complete when the final certificate of occupancy has been issued by the City of New Hope building inspector. d. Promptly after substantial completion of the Minimum Improvements in accordance with those provisions of the Agreement relating solely to the obligations of Buyer to construct such Minimum Improvements (including the date for completion thereof), Seller will furnish Buyer with a Certificate of Completion for such improvements. Such certification by Seller shall be (and it shall be so provided in the Deed and in the certification itself) a conclusive determination of satisfaction and termination of the agreements and covenants in the Agreement and in the Deed with respect to the obligations of Buyer and its successors and assigns, to construct the Minimum Improvements and the dates for completion thereof. The certificate provided for in this paragraph of this Agreement shall be in such form as will enable it to be recorded in the Hennepin County Recorder’s Office and other instruments pertaining to the Property. If Seller shall refuse or fail to provide any certification in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, Seller shall, within thirty (30) days after written request by Buyer, provide Buyer with a written statement, indicating in adequate detail in what respects Buyer has failed to complete the Minimum Improvements in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, or is otherwise in default, and what measures or acts it will be necessary, in the opinion of Seller for Buyer to take or perform in order to obtain such certification. e. Buyer represents and agrees that until issuance of the Certificate of Completion for the Minimum Improvements: (i) Buyer has not made or created and will not make or create or suffer to be made or created any total or partial sale, assignment, conveyance, or lease, or any trust or power, or transfer in any other mode or form of or with respect to this Agreement or the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein, or any contract or agreement to do any of the same, to any person or entity (collectively, a “Transfer”), without the prior written approval of Seller. The term "Transfer" does not include encumbrances made or granted by way of security for, and only for, the purpose of obtaining construction, interim or 6 permanent financing necessary to enable Buyer or any successor in interest to the Property, or any part thereof, to construct the Minimum Improvements or component thereof. (ii) If Buyer seeks to effect a Transfer prior to issuance of the Certificate of Completion, Seller shall be entitled to require as conditions to such Transfer that: (1) any proposed transferee shall have the qualifications and financial responsibility, in the reasonable judgment of Seller, necessary and adequate to fulfill the obligations undertaken in this Agreement by Buyer as to the portion of the Property to be transferred; and (2) Any proposed transferee, by instrument in writing satisfactory to Seller and in form recordable in the public land records of Hennepin County, Minnesota, shall, for itself and its successors and assigns, and expressly for the benefit of Seller, have expressly assumed all of the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement as to the portion of the Property to be transferred and agreed to be subject to all the conditions and restrictions to which Buyer is subject as to such portion; provided, however, that the fact that any transferee of, or any other successor in interest whatsoever to, the Property, or any part thereof, shall not, for whatever reason, have assumed such obligations or so agreed, and shall not (unless and only to the extent otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or agreed to in writing by Seller) deprive Seller of any rights or remedies or controls with respect to the Property, the Minimum Improvements or any part thereof or the construction of the Minimum Improvements; it being the intent of the parties as expressed in this Agreement that (to the fullest extent permitted at law and in equity and excepting only in the manner and to the extent specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement) no transfer of, or change with respect to, ownership in the Property or any part thereof, or any interest therein, however consummated or occurring, and whether voluntary or involuntary, shall operate, legally, or practically, to deprive or limit Seller of or with respect to any rights or remedies on controls provided in or resulting from this Agreement with respect to the Property that Seller would have had, had there been no such transfer or change. In the absence of specific written agreement by Seller to the contrary, no such transfer or approval by Seller thereof shall be deemed to relieve Buyer, or any other party bound in any way by this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Property, from any of its obligations with respect thereto. (3) Any and all instruments and other legal documents involved in effecting the transfer of any interest in this Agreement or the 7 Property governed by this subparagraph shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Seller. (iii) If the conditions described above are satisfied then the Transfer will be approved and Buyer shall be released from its obligation under this Agreement, as to the portion of the Property that is transferred, assigned, or otherwise conveyed. The provisions of this paragraph (iii) apply to all subsequent transferors. (iv) Upon issuance of the Certificate of Completion, Buyer may transfer or assign the Minimum Improvements and/or Buyer's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Property without the prior written consent of Seller. f. Buyer agrees that (a) it will use the Minimum Improvements as only a single family, owner-occupied homes, (b) it will not seek exemption from real estate taxes on the Property under State law, and (c) it will not transfer or permit transfer of the Property to any entity whose ownership or operation of the property would result in the Property being exempt from real estate taxes under State law (other than any portion thereof dedicated or conveyed to the City of New Hope or Seller in accordance with this Agreement). The covenants in this paragraph run with the land, survive both delivery of the Deed and issuance of the Certificate of Completion for the Minimum Improvements, and shall remain in effect for at least 30 years after the Date of Closing. g. Buyer shall comply with all recommendations of the City Engineer. h. Buyer’s construction plans shall be approved by the City Building Official. 10. Revesting Title in Seller upon Happening of Event Subsequent to Conveyance to Buyer. In the event that subsequent to conveyance of the Property or any part thereof to Buyer and prior to receipt by Buyer of the Certificate of Completion of the Minimum Improvements, Buyer fails to carry out its obligations with respect to the construction of the Minimum Improvements (including the nature and the date for the completion thereof), or abandons or substantially suspends construction work, and any such failure, abandonment, or suspension shall not be cured, ended, or remedied within thirty (30) days after written demand from Seller to Buyer to do so, then Seller shall have the right to re-enter and take possession of the Property and to terminate (and revert in Seller) the estate conveyed by the Deed to Buyer, it being the intent of this provision, together with other provisions of the Agreement, that the conveyance of the Property to Buyer shall be made upon, and that the Deed shall contain a condition subsequent to the effect that in the event of any default on the part of Buyer and failure on the part of Buyer to remedy, end, or abrogate such default within the period and in the manner stated in such subdivisions, Seller at its option may declare a termination in favor of Seller of the title, and of all the rights and interests in and to the Property conveyed to Buyer, and that such title and all rights and interests of Buyer, and any assigns or successors in interest to and in the Property, shall revert to Seller, but only if the events stated in this paragraph have not been cured within the time periods provided above. 8 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, Seller shall have no right to reenter or retake title to and possession of a portion of the Property for which a Certificate of Completion has been issued. 11.

The Taxable Market Value in this calculation is assumed based on the city's projections for growth in property value due to the improvements. The Property Tax Class Rates are set by the State of MN and stay fairly consistent from year to year (there have been changes in commercial industrial, however; residential is mostly constant). The city’s Tax Rate changes every year based on the levy certified and the overall tax value of the city. So, the Tax Rate used in this illustration is an assumption. The city’s rate has varied between 58-63% in recent years. Property taxes are calculated on taxable market value, not estimated market value. It is of important note, that this calculation does not take into consideration the market value exclusion which is applied to residential properties under $413,800 in value.
