IMP. PROJECT 971
Item 4
President Hemken introduced for discussion EDA Item 4, Resolution
authorizing the execution of a first amendment to contract for private
redevelopment with Industrial Equities, New Hope, LLC (improvement
project no. 971).
Mr. Aaron Chirpich, community development specialist, stated in early
2015, Industrial Equities purchased the vacant and distressed industrial
building located at 9449 Science Center Drive with the intent of
redeveloping the site. He stated the city provided $250,000 in TIF
assistance to pay for demolition, abatement and soil corrections on the
site. He stated demolition of the building and clearing of all other site
improvements began in late February of 2016. Following the demolition
of the primary building, the excavating contractor discovered
unexpected poor soils beneath the building and around the perimeter of
the foundation. Engineers who have examined the site speculate the
EDA Meeting
Page 2 May 23, 2016
building was built in a natural depression in order to limit the amount of
excavation needed to accommodate the original basement. The footings
of the former building extended well below the basement slab. The
deeper than usual footings were built in an effort to compensate for the
poor soil conditions that were not remediated at the time of construction
in 1960. Because the poor soils were found beneath the building, it would
have been impossible to plan for such a find.
Mr. Chirpich stated the owner has notified staff there is an additional
$300,000 of soil correction work needed on the property due to poor soils
discovered underneath the building.
Mr. Chirpich stated the Industrial Equities Renewal and Renovation TIF
District has a maximum duration of 16 years. Based upon current
estimates, the repayment term for the original $250,000 TIF note is 10
years. The EDA can choose to extend the duration of the assistance to
include the full 16 years. Increasing the duration of the district could
provide the developer with an additional $120,000 to help pay for the
additional soil corrections. He indicated staff from Ehlers has assessed
the request for additional assistance and have found the request
reasonable. If additional assistance is provided, the projected cash on cost
return to the developer would actually decrease. Therefore, providing
additional funding will not unduly enrich the developer.
He indicated the Council reviewed the request for additional TIF
assistance at the April 18 work session and the majority of the Council
was supportive of the request. He stated staff was directed to draft an
amendment to the redevelopment contract. He stated it is not unusual to
find adverse soil conditions and amendments are common. He noted the
key provisions and outcomes of the amendment include:
The maximum amount of additional assistance (applied to the TIF
note principal) is capped at $120,000
The owner will have to certify all costs for additional soil correction
work
If the actual costs incurred by the owner for additional soil
corrections are less than the estimated $300,000, the amount of
additional TIF assistance provided by the city will decrease
proportionally.
The duration of the TIF district will be extended to the full 16 years
allowed by statute.
Commissioner London pointed out the transaction was a private sale,
and he believes the applicant negotiated a lower price based on the
property’s condition. He noted he does not support additional financial
assistance.
EDA Meeting
Page 3 May 23, 2016
Mr. John Allen of Industrial Equities was recognized. Mr. John Allen
explained the land value and purchase price. He confirmed his desire to
move forward with the development even though it is not highly
profitable. He emphasized a new building with higher end users will
create jobs in New Hope. He commented he does not believe the project
will require the full 16 years of tax increment financing. Mr. Allen
thanked the EDA for its cooperation and patience.
Commissioner Lammle reported there are several redevelopment sites in
New Hope with poor soils, and the Council/EDA has previously agreed
to offset costs to remediate adverse soil conditions on other projects such
as the Parkview development.

May 9 meeting and selected Regal Homes LLC as the preferred builder
for 4415 and 4417 Nevada Avenue North. Also at the May 9 meeting the

demolition activities, the City Forester identified trees on the property that should be removed. Following
demolition of the home and initial tree removal, staff and the City Forester identified additional trees for
potential removal on the northern property line. Staff reached out to the owner of the neighboring property
