Mr. Aaron Chirpich, community development specialist, explained approval of

Agenda Title
Resolution approving purchase and redevelopment agreement with Tollberg Homes, LLC, for the sale of
7303 62nd Avenue North (improvement project no. 1007).
Requested Action
Staff requests that the EDA approve a resolution approving the purchase and redevelopment agreement for
the sale of the EDA-owned property located at 7303 62nd Avenue North.
Policy/Past Practice
Proposals for the redevelopment of EDA-owned scattered site lots are reviewed by the EDA prior to
executing a contract with the preferred buyer/builder.
Background
Staff sent RFPs to 20 builders marketing the lot located at 7303 62nd Avenue. The non-negotiable sales price
was set at $55,000. The EDA received proposals from the following builders:
• Tollberg Homes, LLC
• Great Buy Homes Inc.
Staff reviewed the proposals with the city manager, and designated Tollberg Homes as the “preferred by
staff” builder. However, staff would like to review the base characteristics and attributes of each proposed
home to ensure that all proposals are considered by the EDA. The base criteria listed below were used by
staff to assess each proposal.
Tollberg Homes Overview
• Split-entry home design over garden view basement
• Above-average curb appeal
• Mid-level trim package for the cabinets, flooring, doors, and fixtures
• Master suite
• Three-car garage
• 2,244 finished square feet
• Typical exterior finishes, vinyl siding with cultured stone accents
• Anticipated sales price = $309,900

Agenda Section
EDA
Item Number 4
Request for Action, Page 2
• Master suite
• Three-car garage
• 2,039 finished square feet
• Typical exterior finishes, vinyl siding with cultured stone accents
• Anticipated sales price = $295,000
Experience with Recommended Builder
The EDA has not previously sold a scattered site lot to Tollberg Homes. Tollberg Homes is a moderate sized
builder/developer that has built several scattered site homes in the cities of Crystal, Coon Rapids, Anoka, and
Columbia Heights. Community development staff from the city of Crystal gave a positive review of Tollberg
Homes, and staff has no concerns working with the builder.
Development Agreement and Next Steps
Staff has worked with the city attorney and the buyer to draft a 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 $55,000. 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 brought to the EDA for approval. Once the
agreement is fully executed, staff anticipates that the closing of the lot sale will take place in May, 2018.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the EDA approve the resolution approving the purchase and redevelopment
agreement for the sale of 7303 62nd Avenue North to Tollberg Homes, LLC.

3. Representations of Seller. Seller represents and agrees as follows:

4. 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 understands and agrees that the Purchase Price is the fair
market value of the Property in its “AS IS” condition. Buyer acknowledges that
they have inspected or have had the opportunity to inspect the Property and agree to
accept the Property "AS IS." 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
home described in paragraph 10 below. If the soil is determined to be unacceptable
Buyer may rescind this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which case the
Agreement shall be null and void and all earnest money paid hereunder shall be
refunded to Buyer.
b. Buyer agrees the first sale of the home on the Property will be sold to owner-
occupants. An “owner-occupant” shall be defined as an individual(s) that

against the Property prohibiting the leasing of the home for a period of twelve
(12) months after the sale of such home by Buyer to an owner-occupant of the

Further, the restrictive covenants and assessment agreement shall provide that the

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-
3
occupants verifying owner-occupants’ intent to reside in the home as their
primary residence in compliance with the restrictive covenants described herein in
the form attached as Exhibit D.
c. Within one (1) year of Closing, Buyer shall complete the construction of the
single family home on the Property (the Improvements). The Improvements must
be consistent with all building and zoning requirements and the restrictive
covenants applicable to the Property.
The representations set forth in this paragraph shall be incorporated into appropriate documents
to be recorded against the Property (whether by declaration, restrictive covenants, or
development agreement as hereinafter defined) subject to approval by Seller and Buyer as a
condition of Closing.
5. 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 Midland Title (“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:

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

be deemed to have approved the previously-cited exception and the same
shall be considered part of the Permitted Encumbrances.

8. Condemnation. If, prior to the Date of Closing, all or any part of the Property shall be

completing the purchase contemplated by this Agreement, in which event all
condemnation proceeds or claims thereof shall be assigned to Buyer, or (b) canceling this
Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded and this Agreement shall
be terminated with neither party having any rights against or obligations to the other
except rights or obligations under this Agreement which provide for continued exercise
following closing or cancellation or other termination of this Agreement, and Seller shall
be entitled to any and all condemnation proceeds.
9. Construction of Home. Buyer agrees that it will construct a new single family home on
the Property. This covenant shall survive the delivery of the Deed.
5
a. The single family home described in this paragraph is referred to as the
"Minimum Improvements.”
b. The Minimum Improvements shall consist of one new single family home, and
shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the RFP Guidelines attached
as Exhibit F and the proposal approved by Seller on February 26, 2018 attached
as Exhibit G.
c. 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
6
construction, interim or 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 home, (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
8
only if the events stated in this paragraph have not been cured within the time periods
provided above.
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. Resale of Reacquired Property; Disposition of Proceeds. Upon the revesting in Seller
of title to and/or possession of the Property or any part thereof as provided in paragraph
10, Seller shall apply the Purchase Price paid by Buyer under paragraph 1 of this
Agreement as follows:
a. First, to reimburse Seller for all costs and expenses incurred by Seller, including but
not limited to proportionate salaries of personnel, in connection with the recapture,
management, and resale of the Property or part thereof (but less any income derived
by Seller from the Property or part thereof in connection with such management);
all taxes, assessments, and water and sewer charges with respect to the Property or
part thereof (or, in the event the Property is exempt from taxation or assessment or
such charge during the period of ownership thereof by Seller, an amount, if paid,
equal to such taxes, assessments, or charges (as determined by Seller assessing
official) as would have been payable if the Property were not so exempt); any
payments made or necessary to be made to discharge any encumbrances or liens
existing on the Property or part thereof at the time of revesting of title thereto in
Seller or to discharge or prevent from attaching or being made any subsequent
encumbrances or liens due to obligations, defaults or acts of the Buyer, its
successors or transferees; any expenditures made or obligations incurred with
respect to the making or completion of the Minimum Improvements or any part
thereof on the Property or part thereof; and any amounts otherwise owing Seller by
the Buyer and its successor or transferee; and
b. Second, to reimburse Buyer for the balance of the Purchase Price remaining after
the reimbursements specified in paragraph (a) above. Such reimbursement shall
be paid to Buyer upon delivery of executed, recordable warranty deed to the
Property by Buyer to Seller.
12. Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given and received (a) two (2) business days after depositing of the same in the
mail if sent by regular, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the party to whom
directed, at such party's address herein set forth; or (b) upon delivery, or attempted
