Voting in favor: Erickson, Williamson, Wehling, Otten; Abstained: Enck. Motion carried. NEW HOPE TERRACE President Erickson introduced for discussion Item 4, AGREEMENT Consideration of Request by LaNel Financial Group, Inc. Item 4 for Changes to New Hope Terrace Assessment Agreement. Mr. Donahue stated the assessment agreement specifies a certain minimum market value to the Emerald Pointe Apartment complex {formerly known as New Hope Terrace). The request by LaNel Financial Group is to modify the assessment agreement and bring it more in line with what Hennepin County assessors would actually appraise the market value to the project. Springsted, a financial consultant, was hired to review the request and report on the advantages and disadvantages to the City and developers. Springsted has analyzed the project and will summarize their analysis results. Mr. Barry Fick, Springsted Inc., was recognized and explained their findings. He stated they first analyzed the financial effects to the City 1} if the assessment agreement remained in place as is and 2) if it was modified. He stated if the agreement is amended as proposed, there would be a decrease of $800,000 in the total amount of funds available through year 2003 {current expiration of the district). Also, Springsted reviewed the actual finances of the project to determine projected returns. In addition to projecting the return, they projected the effect the proposal would have on their financial situation and the magnitude of that effect. LaNel provided operating data for the project for 1992 which was projected forward. Springsted found that taking all factors into New Hope EDA April 12, 1993 Page 1 consideration the return on their equity under the current assessment agreement would be a low positive number. The alternative where their assessment agreement would be modified showed the return on equity would be increased but it is still not a high figure. Mr. Fick stated the difficulty with doing such an analysis and projecting an industry standard is that the industry standard is somewhat vague, but based on the information we have been able to use the return that LaNel would be projected to receive throughout the life of the project is slightly on the lower side of the range. Their analysis has purposely · not taken into account the possibility of what would occur if LaNel were to eventually sell the project. The speculation of the future market value is too indefinite to make a judgement. commissioner Enck inquired whether a guarantee could be built into the agreement whereby the assessment agreement could be artificially increased in order to cover the life of the bond issue. Mr. Steve Sondrall, City Attorney, stated regardless of the assessed value, the agreement could be written to include assurance that the tax amount is sufficient to maintain a viable TIF district. Commissioner Enck questioned the effect a future sale of the property would have on the assessment agreement. Mr. Sondrall stated the assessment agreement will remain binding to anyone who purchases the property. Commissioner Enck expressed his intent to approve an amendment to the agreement with LaNel. President Erickson initiated discussion regarding LaNel's previous proposal to subsidize ten rental units. He questioned whether they were willing to offer a similar proposal in exchange for the amendment to the assessment agreement. Mr. Frank Lang, LaNel, was recognized and commented that although such an offer appeared economically feasible previously, they could not offer it now due to operation costs. President Erickson stated a monthly subsidy of $100 for ten units would amount to $12,000 per year. In lieu of the subsidy, the City would be willing to accept a donation of $12,000 to use for human services programs. New Hope EDA April 12, lgg3 Page 2 Mr. Lang stated the project will have a difficult time even with the reduction in estimated market value. He urged the EDA to not include such a condition as it is not a matter of greed but a matter of allowing the complex to function well. Commissioner Williamson mentioned that Emerald Pointe is one of the nicest apartment complexes in New Hope and she is pleased to have the opportunity to assist the property owners for maintenance re-investment. Motion was made by Commissioner Williamson, seconded by Commissioner Otten, to approve the amendment. Commissioner Enck interjected the amended agreement should contain language specifying an annual or semi-annual review. Mr. Donahue suggested that the EDA authorize staff to work out the details with LaNel and draft an amended assessment agreement outlining the conditions. He noted LaNel asked for a final recommendation by the end of April. He stated the agreement could be presented to the EDA for final approval at the April 26th EDA Meeting. MOTION Motion was made by Commissioner Enck, seconded by Item 4 Commissioner Otten, tabling the item until April 26, 1993. All present voted in favor. Motion carried.

IMPROVEMENT President Erickson introduced for discussion Item 6, PROJECT 474 Resolution Authorizing the President and Executive Item 6 Director to Execute Purchase Agreement and Lease for Foremost Property at 7528 42nd Avenue North (Improvement Project No. 474). New Hope EDA April 12, 1993 Page 3 The resolution authorizes execution of the purchase agreement and lease agreement in connection with the Foremost property at 7528 42nd Avenue North. The acquisition price is $450,000 and Foremost will be allowed to occupy the property for a 2-year period commencing on the date of the closing. Foremost is responsible for operating expenses and real estate taxes during the course of the rental period. They also will be allowed to remove all machinery and fixtures from the property when the lease expires. Foremost also is paying all past due real estate taxes and unpaid special assessments. Commissioner Enck stated if the City is named as an additional insured he would recommend the policy limit be set at a minimum of $1,000,000. He also suggested amending the City's insurance policy to ensure that adequate insurance is being provided and that the City's interests are being protected. Mr. Sondrall pointed out that execution of the purchase agreement and lease is contingent upon receipt of the abstract ensuring proper title. EDA RESOLUTION Councilmember Enck introduced the following resolution and 93-06 moved its adoption: 'RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT Item 6 AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECI~TE PURCHASE AGREENENT AND LEASE FOR FORENOST PROPERTY AT 7528 42ND AVENUE NORTH (INPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 474)'.

IMPROVEMENT President Erickson introduced for discussion Item 8, PROJECT 467 Consideration of Request for Extension on Development Item 8 Contract Improvements, Autohaus, Inc., 7709 42nd Avenue North (Improvement Project No. 467). Mr. Donahue stated Autohaus has requested an additional extension to complete the development improvements. The request involves a one-year extension to complete the front lot improvements which were to be completed by October 31, 1992. The request also involves a 3-4 year extension to the rear lot improvements which are to be completed by October, 1993. Commissioner Enck questioned the completion date for the area north of the south property line. Mr. Oestreich stated it should be completed within 45-60 days. He commented that the area is muddy and requires immediate attention. He noted the contractor has experienced problems which contributed to the delay. The only area changed is the surmountable curb portion which they intend to pave then landscape and install fence to improve the front appearance. He also noted their intent to install a new sign. Mr. Donahue recommended approval of a one-year extension on the front lot improvements which would require completion by October, 1993. He noted rather than installing bituminous curb as specified in the site plan, Autohaus is proposing to paint striping for the display area. Commissioner Enck noted that he is uncomfortable with a four-year extension on the development for the rear portion of the lot. Mr. Tom Oestreich, Vice President of Autohaus, pointed out that the site has significantly improved compared to its previous condition. He stated due to the economic recession in the automobile industry they have been unable to fund the entire development. Commissioner Enck proposed to extend the contract for the front portion of the lot until October 31, 1993, and the rear portion of the lot until October 31, 1994, with the understanding that if Autohaus is unable to complete the improvements for the rear lot by October 31, 1994, a New Hope EDA April 12, 1993 Page 5 letter should be submitted to the City by March, lg94, with an explanation and request for extension. Mr. Oestreich acknowledged acceptance of the EDA's terms. He stressed the fact that the area has already been dramatically improved. Mr. Donahue next informed the EDA that Mr. Boettcher has requested that the City release the $26,300 certificate of deposit to fund a portion of the work. He did not recommend releasing the financial security since it secures performance under the Development Contract. He stated since Mr. Boettcher is ahead of the loan repayment schedule by $23,000, the City could refund this amount to Autohaus. MOTION Motion was made by Commissioner Wehling, seconded by Item 8 Commissioner Otten, approve the extension request {October 31, 1993 for the front lot improvements and October 31, 1994 for the rear lot improvements) on Development Contract Improvements for Autohaus {7709 42nd Avenue North); and authorization to return advance loan payments. All present voted in favor. Motion carried. Commissioner Wehling noted the lapse of time between correspondence to Autohaus and questioned whether this is typical. Mr. Donahue indicated staff frequently had verbal communications with Mr. Boettcher; the written correspondence serves as formal documentation. ADJOURNMENT Motion was made by Commissioner Wehling, seconded by Commissioner Otten, to adjourn the meeting. All present voted in favor. The New Hope EDA adjourned at 12:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Valerie Leone City Clerk New Hope EDA April 12, 1993 Page 6 cub I ~ REQUF~T FOR ACTION Originating Department Approved for Agenda Agenda Section City Manager EDA  4-26-93 Kirk McDonald Item No. By: Management Assistant By: 4 / MOTION APPROVING EXECUTION OF ADDENDUM TO ASSESSMENT AGREEMENT FOR EMERALD POINTE APARTMENT COMPLEX, FKA NEW HOPE TERRACE Enclosed is a revised Addendum to the July 28th, 19.86, Assessment Agreement in connection with the New Hope Terrace Complex, now know as Emerald Pointe.

The Addendum allows an extension on the improvements north of the south building line until October, 1993, and allows an extension on the improvements south of the south building line until October, 1994. It is understood that if Autohaus finds that it cannot make the rear improvements by the fall of 1994, that Autohaus may seek an additional extension. The Addendum does not release the Letter of Credit, as requested by Autohaus, and Autohaus has been invited to attend a future EDA meeting to discuss this issue with the EDA if they so desire.

As you know, we would like to BrvIW complete the proposed work as soon as practical, but would reiterate some of the things that I told you of. MI=I:IGEDES First of all, we were planning on doing the work north of the south line of the building last fall. Because of the weather and scheduling conflicts, that could VOLVO not be accomplished. We are planning on having that work completed as soon as the spring weather and road conditions would allow. AGORA We would request the City, though, to help this project, release the certificate of deposit in the amount of $26,300 to fund a portion of this work. As you know, T O Y O T A the car sale business has been slow and I have had some internal accounting problems here that have delayed and affected our ability to complete the work initially contemplated in a timely fashion. PORSCHE ! would also like to remind you of the $187,000 initially borrowed. That balance JAGUAR is now down to approximately $118,000. We have been trying to pay that in advance as cash flow would allow, and our records reflect that we have paid approximately $23,000 ahead of schedule. I would request that you take that into consideration in releasing the certificate of deposit. ,, 7709 42nd Avenue North ~r Minneapolis, MN 55427 * (612) 535-5707 Page 2 City of New Hope, March 18, 1993 I would also like to note that we have done a substantial amount of improvements and betterment to the property. We have painted the building, installed new awnings and have a new sign ordered to be installed this spring. The building's appearance has been dramatically improved by these efforts. In regard to the back portion of the lot, we would request that you allow a delay of between three and four years to complete that part of the work. You know that we have done a lot of work back on that property, too, and have done grading after removing bad material and products that have been dumped there. We have also grassed in the area, so it will be neat in appearance. The automobile industry has been severely hampered by the economic recession that we have had. In the history of the United States, automobile companies themselves have suffered some of the largest losses in history. Our business is progressing, but we have not made the strides, nor had the sales that we had hoped for, and that is another reason for the request for delaying some of this additional work. We have removed the building in the front part, which was an eyesore, and are doing everything within our power to meet these development goals and deadlines. We would appreciate your consideration for this last request. ! will be waiting to hear from you in the hopes that we can resolve these matters on an amicable basis. Thank you for your consideration.
