in New Hope and retain existing labor base was emphasized. The present facility is

feet in size. Mr. Sulentic explained that the 11.7 acres at the 8801 Science Center
Drive site would provide future expansion opportumties.
The EDA encouraged Mr. Sulentic to serve as a business representative on the City

Section 1.2. Statement and Finding of Public Purpose. In August of 1980 the HRA
Commissioners of the HRA Authority determined that there was a need to undertake certain
actions designed to encourage, ensure and facilitate the private sector to (1) develop and
redevelop underutilized and unused land located within the corporate limits of the City; (2)
improve the tax base of the City, the County and the School District thereby enabling them to
better utilize existing public facilities and provide needed public services; (3) improve the
general economy of the City, the County, the School District and the State; and, (4) provide
additional employment opportunities for residents of the City and surrounding area. It was
found that there were certain parcels of property within the City which were potentially more
useful, productive and valuable than was being realized under existing conditions and
therefore were not contributing to the tax base of the City, the County, the School District
and the State to their full potential. The HRA Commissioners determined that said parcels of
property were deemed to be vacant, underutilized, or blighted due to poor planning and
subdivision and zoning practices, and to existing structures which because of (i) dilapidation,
(ii) obsolescence, (iii) overcrowding, (iv) faulty arrangement or design, (v) lack of
ventilation, light and sanitary facilities, (vi) excessive land coverage, (vii) inadequate land
coverage, (viii) deleterious land use or (ix)obsolete layout, or (x) any combination of these or
other factors, were detrimental to the safety, health, morals or welfare of the City, pursuant to
the HRA Act.
Therefore, the HRA Commissioners determined it was necessary to exercise its
authority to develop, implement and finance a Plan for improving the Project Area to (1)
provide an impetus for private development and redevelopment; (2) maintain and increase
1-3
employment; (3) utilize existing potential; and, (4) provide other facilities as outlined in
Section 1.4. of the Plan.
The HRA Commissioners also determined (1) that the proposed development or
redevelopment would not occur solely through private investment in the foreseeable future;
(2) that the Tax Increment Financing Plans proposed herein were consistent with the Plan;
(3) that the Tax Increment Financing Plans would afford maximum opportunity, consistent
with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the
Project Area by private enterprise; and (4) that the Plan conformed to the comprehensive
plan of the City.
The I-IRA Commissioners further determined that the welfare of the City as well as
the State required active promotion, attraction, encouragement and development of
economically sound housing, industry and commerce to carry out its stated public purpose
objectives.
Subsequently the City established an EDA Authority and on April 10, 1989 the HRA
Commissioners transferred control, authority and operation of its Redevelopment Projects
and Tax Increment Financing Districts to the EDA Authority At the time of this transfer, the
EDA Commissioners reaffirmed the statement and finding of public purpose originally set
forth by the HRA Commissioners. At the time of the adoption of the Plan, the EDA
Commissioners again affirmed the statement and finding of public purpose.
Section 1.3. Statutory Authority. The HRA Commissioners determined that it was
desirable and in the public interest to designate a specific area within the corporate limits of
the City as the Project Area and to establish, develop and implement a Plan pursuant to the
provisions of the HRA Act, as amended and supplemented from time to time. Upon its
receipt of the Redevelopment Projects and Tax Increment Financing Districts from the HRA
Authority, the EDA Commissioners supported the HRA Commissioners' determinations
pursuant to the provisions of the EDA Act, as amended and supplemented from time to time.
Funding of the necessary activities and improvements in the Project Area was and
shall be accomplished, in part, with any funds the HRA Authority had and the EDA
Authority may have available from any source, including funds made available by the City
and through tax increment financing in accordance with the Tax Increment Act.
The Tax Increment Act authorized the establishment of tax increment financing
districts within the Project Area, pursuant to the requirements as set forth in Section 469.174.
The Tax Increment Act also set forth the procedures and requirements necessary to establish
tax increment financing districts, designated the types of tax increment financing districts to
be created, and established the limitations and requirements that applied to the activities and
1-4
public improvements which can be financed for each type of tax increment financing district.
Section 1.4. Statement of Obiectives. The HRA Commissioners originally
determined, and its determinations were reaffirmed by the EDA Commissioners, that the
establishment of the Project Area would provide the City with the ability to achieve certain
public purpose goals not otherwise obtainable in the foreseeable future without intervention
in the normal development or redevelopment process. These public purpose goals included:
(1) restoration and improvement of the tax base and tax revenue generating capacity of the
Project Area; (2) increased employment opportunities; (3) realization of comprehensive
planning goals; (4) removal of blighted conditions; and, (5) revitalization of the property
within the Project Area to create an attractive, comfortable, convenient and efficient area for
housing, industrial, commercial and related uses.
The Plan objectives originally established by the HRA Commissioners and restated
by the EDA Commissioners and further affirmed by this Plan include the following:
1. Promote and secure the prompt development or redevelopment of certain
property in the Project Area, which property is not now in productive use or in its highest and
best use, in a manner consistent with the City's comprehensive plan and with a minimum
adverse impact on the environment and thereby promote and secure the development of other
land in the City.
2. Promote and secure additional employment opportunities within the Project
Area and the City for residents of the City and surrounding area, thereby improving living
standards, reducing unemployment and the loss of skilled and unskilled labor and other
human resources in the City.
3. Secure the increased valuation of property subject to taxation by the City,
County, School District and other taxing jurisdictions in order to better enable such entities
to pay for governmental services and programs required to be provided by them.
4. Provide for the f'mancing and conslruction of public improvements in and
adjacent to the Project Area necessary for the orderly and beneficial development or
redevelopment of the Project Area and adjacent areas of the City.
5. Promote the concenlration of new desirable residential, commercial, office and
other appropriate development or redevelopment in the Project Area so as to maintain the
area in a manner compatible with its accessibility and prominence in the City.
6. Encourage local business expansion, improvement, development or
redevelopment whenever possible.
1-5
7. Create a desirable and unique character within the Project Area through
quality land use alternatives and design quality in new and remodeled buildings.
8. Encourage and provide maximum opportunity for private development or
redevelopment of existing areas and structures which are compatible with the Plan.
9. Create viable environments which would upgrade and maintain housing stock,
maintain housing health and safety quality standards, and maintain and strengthen individual
neighborhoods.
10. Stimulate private activity and investment to stabilize and balance the City's
housing supply.
11. Eliminate code violations and nuisance conditions that adversely affect
neighborhoods.
12. Revitalize property to create a safe, attractive, comfortable, convenient and
efficient area for residential use.
13. Recreate and reinforce a sense of residential place and security which creates
neighborhood cohesiveness through City investment in neighborhood infrastructure and
public improvements, including landscaping, park improvements, local street modifications
to reduce traffic impacts, street repaying, curb and gutter replacement, and streetlight
updating.
14. Encourage infill development and redevelopment that is compatible in use and
scale with surrounding neighborhoods.
15. Rehabilitate the existing housing stock and preserve existing residential
neighborhoods wherever possible.
16. Demolish and reconstruct, where necessary, aging residential buildings to
preserve neighborhoods.
17. Removal of substandard structures.
Section 1.5. Estimated Proiect Costs and Revenue. The estimated project costs and
revenues associated with the Project Area are described on Exhibit I-A. The City may issue
Tax Increment Bonds to pay the estimated costs of the public improvements in the amounts
described on Exhibit I-A.
1-6
Section 1.6. Environmental Control. The proposed development or redevelopment in
the Project Area does not present significant environmental concerns. All municipal actions,
public improvements and private development or redevelopment shall be carried out in a
manner consistent with existing environmental standards.
Section 1.7. Administration and Maintenance. Maintenance and operation of the
public improvements will be the responsibility of the City Manager who shall also serve as
Administrator of the Project Area. Each year the Administrator will submit to the EDA
Authority the maintenance and operation budget for the following year.
The Administrator will administer the Project Area pursuant to the provisions of the
Act and the Tax Increment Act; provided, however, that such powers may only be exercised
at the direction of the EDA Authority. No action taken by the Administrator pursuant to the
aforementioned powers shall be effective without authorization by the EDA Authority.
Section 1.8. Rehabilitation. Owners of properties within the Project Area will be
encouraged to rehabilitate their properties to conform with the applicable state and local
codes and ordinances, as well as any design standards. Owners of properties who purchase
property within the Project Area from the City may be required to rehabilitate their properties
as a condition of sale of land. The EDA Authority will provide such rehabilitation assistance
as may be available from federal, state or local sources.
A developer or redeveloper may be any person, business, corporation or government
unit, including the City. A developer or redeveloper may initiate a plan and participate with
the City in the development or redevelopment thereof.
Section 1.9 Relocation. The EDA Authority accepts its responsibility for providing
for relocation, if and when applicable, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.133.
Section 1.10. Boundaries. The boundaries of the Project Area are described on
Exhibit I-B and illustrated on Exhibit I-C.
Section 1.11. Parcels to be Acquired. The EDA may acquire any of the parcels

Section 2.13 Tax Rate. The pay 2002 tax capacity rate is 1.41880.
Section 2.14 Tax Increment. Annual initial tax increment has been calculated at
approximately $128,835 assuming a static tax capacity rate and a valuation increase of zero
percent (0.0%) compounded annually. A financial analysis is provided on Exhibit II-C.
Section 2.15 Ty~e of TIF District. The TIF District is, pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 12, an economic development district.
Section 2.16 Duration of TIF District. The duration of the TIF District is expected to
2-2
eight (8) years from receipt of the first tax increment. The date of receipt of the first tax
increment is estimated to be July, 2004. Thus, it is estimated that the TIT District, including
any modifications for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate in the year 2012.
Section 2.17 Estimated Impact on Taxing Jurisdictions. The estimated impact on
other taxing jurisdictions assumes construction would have occurred without the creation of
the TIT District. If the construction is a result of tax increment financing, the impact is $0 to
other entities. Notwithstanding the fact that the fiscal impact on the other taxing jurisdictions
is $0, due to the fact that the financing would not have occurred without the assistance of the
EDA Authority, Exhibit II-E reflects the estimated impact of the TIT District if the "but for"
test were not met.
Section 2.18 Modification of the TIF District and/or TIT Plan. As of September 9,
2002, no modifications to the TIT District or the TIT Plan have been made.

"BUT FOR" ANALYSIS OF
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 02-1
Navarre Corporation proposes to construct a warehouse of up to 130,000 square feet adjacent
to its existing facility (the "Adjacent Site"). It also proposes to construct a
warehouse/trucking facility of up to 10,000 square feet on a site referred to as the relocation
site (the "Relocation Site"), a site which the City has targeted for redevelopment for a
number of years. Both the Adjacent Site and the Relocation Site, while not contiguous, are
in the TIF District. The Adjacent Site currently contains a business which must be relocated
and the existing structure demolished. The Adjacent Site also has sewer and water lines
which must be relocated. The Relocation Site has extremely poor soils which must be
corrected before any building can be constructed. In addition, a storm water pond must be
placed on the Relocation Site to accommodate both the site and the adjacent areas. Without
tax increment assistance for both the soil correction on the Relocation Site, and the utility
relocation, business relocation and structure demolition on the Adjacent Site, this
development would not proceed. In addition to creating between 40 and 50 additional
employment opportunities, this development will provide an additional $6.5 million to the
City's tax base. Finally, without tax increment assistance, the developer would have had to
develop its business outside of the City.

employment opportunity will be at least equal to ~% of the federal minimum wage
per hour in effect as of the date of this Agreement.
(b) Within five (5) years after the Benefit Date, the Redeveloper estimates the
creation ora total of full-time employment opportunities. The wage for each

2. Repayment of Business Subsidy.
(a) As security for the Redeveloper's compliance with the Wage and
Job Goals, the Redeveloper hereby agrees that in the event the Redeveloper does not

Agreement the Redeveloper determines that it will not be able to meet the Wage and Job
Goals within the time specified in Section 1 of this Agreement, request an extension of

after a public hearing as required by law, grants such an extension then the repayment of
the Business Subsidy shall be deferred for the agreed-upon period (which period shall not
exceed one year).
(c) If the Redeveloper only partially meets the Wage and Job Goals by
the deadlines imposed by Section 1 of this Agreement and, if applicable, as extended by

RESOLUTION APPROVING LETTER OF (AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE BROOKLYN PARK ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND THE NEW HOPE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FOR THE
SECOND SUBURBAN REMODELING PLANBOOK PROJECT, SPLIT-LEVELS AND SPLIT-ENTRYS AT A
COST OF $5,000 (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 623)
ACTION REQUESTED
Staff is requesting Council consideration of a resolution approving a letter of agreement between the Brooklyn
Park Economic Development Authority and the New Hope Economic Development Authority for the second
suburban remodeling planbook project, split-levels and split-entrys at a cost of $5,000.
POLICY/PAST PRACTICE
City goal//2 is to pursue the maintenance and redevelopment of commercial and residential properties within
the City. The City Council has been addressing the residential portion of this goal through the City's many
housing activities, including participation in the previous planbook completed for cape cods and ramblers and
commitment to this second remodeling planbook project.
BACKGROUND
On April 8, 2002, the EDA passed a motion authorizing participation in the second suburban remodeling
~lanbook project, split-levels and split-entrys. The EDA allocated a maximum of $6,250 for this project
($75,000 divided among the twelve participating jurisdictions) with the understanding that if additional
jurisdictions participate, the cost will be adjusted accordingly. Since that time, Columbia Heights has agreed to
participate in the project with a $5,000 contribution, increasing the total amount raised to $73,000.
Brooklyn Park is coordinating the contract with the architecture firm. On April 8, Staff informed the EDA that
the attached Letter of Agreement between the City of Brooklyn Park and the City of New Hope outlining the
responsibilities of each jurisdiction would be forthcoming. Per the consortium and attached Letter of
Agreement, the Brooklyn Park EDA is requesting $5,000 from the New Hope EDA for the project.
The Contract and Letter of Agreement are identical to the one utilized when the last consortium of cities
developed the Cape Cod and Rambler Planbook and have only been updated to reflect the Brooklyn Park
EDA as the contract holder. The purpose of the contract with the Architect is to produce the content of the
Planbook and that the iudsdictions will then need to raise the funds for publishin~l. The Contract amount is
MOTION BY ~ SECOND BY
Request for Action Page 2 9-9-02
$75,000 and the funds will be deposited with the Brooklyn Park EDA, who will then execute the Contract with
the Architect and will pay on the Contract from those funds. If there are any remaining funds, the Brooklyn
Park EDA will utilize those funds to offset the costs associated with printing the planbooks.
The Letter of Agreement contains the following items:
The Brooklyn Park EDA agrees to execute a contract with Robert Gerloff Residential Architects in the
amount of $75,000 for the preparation of a remodeling planbook for housing in fully developed and/or
inner-ring cities of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area.
The City agrees to pay $5,000 to the Brooklyn Park EDA as its share of the cost to be incurred by the
Brooklyn Park EDA for the services of the Architect in preparing the remodeling planbook as described
in the Professional Services Agreement. As a condition of the contractor's responsibility to perform
under this Agreement, the Brooklyn Park EDA must procure the participation of at least fifteen
communities and/or counties. If this condition is not satisfied, the contractor is excused from
performing under the contract.
It is the Brooklyn Park EDA's intent that the architect produce drawings and other material, which can
be used in preparing the remodeling planbook. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Brooklyn Park EDA agrees to provide the City with as least a computer disc containing the remodeling
planbook drawings and other materials.
The Brooklyn Park EDA acknowledges that it has sole responsibility for paying all amounts due to the
Architects for preparation of the remodeling planbook. The Brooklyn Park EDA agrees that if, after
paying the Architect fees, insufficient funds remain for publishing and printing the remodeling planbook,
the Brooklyn Park EDA will provide the City with a copy of the computer disc produced by the
Architects with the remodeling planbook on the disc.
Except for an breach of the representations of the EDA, any willful misrepresentation of any willful or
wanton misconduct of the EDA, or the negligence or other wrongful act or omission of any officers,
agents and employees of the EDA. The City of New Hope agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Brooklyn Park EDA and its officers, agents and employees against any claim, demand, suit, action or
other proceeding arising pursuant to this Agreement resulting from actions or failures to act by the EDA
or its governing body members, officer, agents or employees, provided that the foregoing
indemnification shall not be effective for any actions of the EDA that are not contemplated by the
Agreement.
The Brooklyn Park EDA agrees that the $5,000 paid by the City of New Hope pursuant to the
Agreement will be used solely for the purpose of producing a remodeling planbook as described in this
Agreement. The Brooklyn Park EDA further agrees to refund any portion collected under this
Agreement of a pro-rata basis among the participating entities.
In 1997, the EDA authorized city participation in the initial suburban remodeling planbook project, "Cape Cods
& Ramblers: A Remodeling Planbook for Post-WWII Houses." The planbook was produced through a
collaborative effort of fifteen metropolitan area jurisdictions, including New Hope and architect Robert Gerloff.
The planbook initiative was undertaken as an additional tool for the encouragement of residents to remodel
and expand their homes. The planbook is available at City Hall and several residents have utilized it in their
remodeling projects.
The initial planbook received the National League of Cities 1999 Innovation Award, "Building a Nation of
Communities" awarded at the Congress of Cities conference in Los Angeles, California, and was highlighted in
Nation's Cities Weekly. Also, the planbook won the Minneapolis Hedtage Preservation Commission Award,
MN Chapter of the American Planning Association Public Education Award, National League of Cities
"Investing in Community Award" and the MN AIA "Special Award." The planbook was featured in the
Minneapolis Star Tdbune and Twin Cities edition of the Broker Agent Magazine, Americas Trade Publication
Request for Action Page 3 9-9-02
for the Real Estate Professional. In addition, the planbook is currently available for purchase through American
Planning Association's bookstore.
Due to the success of the previous planbook, staff from thirteen jurisdictions, including Brooklyn Park,
Bumsville, Coon Rapids, Golden Valley, Maplewood, Minnetonka, Mounds View, Plymouth, Roseville,
Columbia Heights, Dakota County CDA, Washington County HRA and New Hope have started to work
together on this second planbook focusing on split-level and split-entry houses. New Hope has an abundance
of this type of housing. Although several residents took advantage of the previous planbook to remodel and
expand cape cods and ramblers, staff feels that this second planbook focusing on splits will be even more
successful.
The City of Brooklyn Park sent out a request for qualifications for the project to several architecture firms and
only Robert Gerloff Residential Architects submitted a proposal. Robert Gerloff Residential Architects is the
same firm that completed the original planbook. The firm has submitted a bid of $75,000 to complete the
planbook (Please see the attached Profession Services Agreement). The agreement is to include the
following:
· Compact Disc with the remodeling planbook fully designed and printer ready;
· High quality scans to each City for web pages and reference;
· 10 water color images, and;
· Over 900 total hours at between $60 and $100 per hour.
Staff recommends approval of this resolution.
FUNDING
$5,000 is the amount requested for the project. There are funds available in the 2002 EDA budget for this
project. As in the last planbook project, additional contributions will be sought from outside organizations to
facilitate printing.
