Item 4 the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority's loan to the
Boisclair Corporation as a 2016 Affordable Housing Incentive Fund program loan
recipient for property at 8007 Bass Lake Road.
Mr. Jeff Sargent, director of community development, explained Boisclair
Corporation has received a loan from Hennepin County Housing and
Redevelopment Authority and the local jurisdiction must approve the owner of
the property as the loan recipient. The Park Acres development at 8007 Bass Lake
Road has been governed by a project -based Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment
contract since its inception in 1978. It also received low income housing tax credits
for a 15 -year period. The owner is in the process of re -syndicating the low income
housing tax credits for an additional 15 -year period. Park Acres is deemed a
Preservation priority and received some funding for building improvements.
Additional funding was necessary to complete the required improvements, and
Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority has authorized a
preliminary loan of up to $400,000.
He stated renovations greater than $5,000 per unit will be made to the complex.
EDA Meeting
Page 1 March 13, 2017
Ms. Lori Boisclair was recognized. She stated the property includes six buildings
with apartments and townhomes totaling 41 units. She stated they were built in
1978 and 1979 and since 1990 there was only one substantial rehab project.
Commissioner London noted there were 67 police calls to the property in the last
12 months.
Ms. Boisclair indicated she receives monthly reports and believes the figure
mentioned by Mr. London is inaccurate.
Chief Fournier pointed out the number includes medical and alarm calls. He noted
calls on crime -related instances are much lower.
Ms. Boisclair commented that the property will realize $4.8 million in
improvements. She noted there is a three-year wait list for new occupants and
there is a low turnover rate. She noted the corporations perseverance with the
competitive loan process as they applied three consecutive years before being
successful.
The EDA thanked Ms. Boisclair for undertaking the improvements.

ALATUS PURCHASE President Hemken introduced for discussion EDA Item 3, Resolution authorizing
& DEVELOPMENT the execution of a purchase and development agreement with Alatus New Hope,
AGREEMENT LLC (project no. 964).
Item 3
Mr. Jeff Sargent, director of community development, thanked the EDA for
holding a special meeting to consider approval of a loan for the cost of a Variable
Refrigerant Flow (VRF) HVAC system as part of the development agreement for
Alatus for the project at 8400 Bass Lake Road. He stated at the February 27 EDA
Meeting the majority of the EDA supported the concept subject to the terms of the
loan being brought back to the EDA for approval. He asked Stacie Kvilvang of
Ehlers to review the terms and conditions.
Ms. Kvilvang stated the development agreement that was agreed to at the end of
last year has not yet been signed so the loan will be incorporated into the
agreement as section 3.11. She stated the loan is up to $344,000 for five years at 4%
interest. She noted 4% is reasonable as the EDA is earning less than 1% on its funds
in the bank.
Ms. Kvilvang also pointed out the necessity of storm water pond improvements
located on the city's golf course (rip rap along the pond's edge) that will be
undertaken by Alatus as part of their project but the city will be required to
reimburse them approximately $70,000. She stated this will be added to the
development agreement as Section 4.3(h).
EDA Meeting
Page 1 March 20, 2017
She also stated Section 4.3(d) of the agreement was updated to address other golf
course items: trash enclosure on the golf course property will no longer need to be
relocated, and Alatus will construct the joint entrance and some minor
modifications to the golf course's parking lot.
Ms. Kvilvang stated the resolution before the EDA approves the updated purchase
and development agreement, authorizes the TIF note and allows the EDA to enter
into a loan agreement.
President Hemken inquired of the terms of the TIF note. Ms. Kvilvang stated it is
still 23 years and the principal note and term remains unchanged.
Commissioner London inquired whether the value of the building will be
increased by $700,000 for the alternate HVAC system. Ms. Kvilvang stated the
valuation will likely not be increased based on the HVAC system. She noted they
will have a marketable advantage and the energy savings will be passed on to the
tenants.
Commissioner London asked whether there are any federal tax incentives
available. Ms. Kvilvang stated she is not aware of any but there may be an Xcel
Energy rebate.
Commissioner London inquired of the return amounts to the developer. Ms.
Kvilvang stated the cash on cash return is 10%. She stated investors are putting
30% cash ($14 million) into the $43 million project, the annual return is the cash on
cash, and the industry standard is a minimum of 10%. She noted Commissioner
London was referring to a cash on cost return and in the metro area investors
typically want that figure to be between 6.5 and 7%.
EDA RESOLUTION Commissioner Elder introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption
2017-17 "RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A PURCHASE AND
Item 4 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH ALATUS NEW HOPE, LLC". The
motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was seconded by
