Golden Valley Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting
June 18, 2024
Agenda Item
3.A. Sentinel Development First Amendment to Contract for Private Development and Subordination
of Development Contract
Prepared By
Christine Costello, Housing & Economic Development Manager
Maria Cisneros, City Attorney
Summary
On June 20, 2023, the Golden Valley Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) approved the tax
increment financing (TIF) plan and related development agreements for a mixed use housing and
development at 8200 and Golden Valley Road and 8250 Golden Valley Drive.
The commercial portion of the development included the replacement and relocation of the Wells
Fargo Bank on the southwest corner of the site. The new bank has been constructed and the
developer will begin removal of the old bank shortly. The housing portion of the development will
include a 303-unit mixed income multifamily rental community that will include a total of 257 market
rate units and 46 units at 60% AMI for a period of twenty years. This is the first multifamily rental
community under the City's Mixed Income Housing Policy. The units will be a mix of studio, one-, two-,
and three-bedroom apartment homes and will include a 450 space parking ramp wrapped around the
building.
In conformance with land use approval requirements imposed by the City, the developer recently
completed a replat the site, which resulted in new legal descriptions for the two parcels. Accordingly,
the development agreement and related agreements must be amended to reflect the new legal
description.
In addition, the HRA approved a Renewal and Renovation TIF District and a PAYGO note with a
principal amount of up to $11,243,000 generated by the project based on an interest rate of 6%. The
developer is responsible for incurring all upfront costs of the project, then the developer will be
reimbursed from tax increment revenue as it is received. As part of development process often
developers will secure a bridge loan to continue a development project to ensure it will proceed
without delay. The developer has requested a bridge loan from their lender to continue development.
As part of that process a TIF subordination agreement is required. This agreement ensures the lender
will be paid back its loan amount before the developer receives any TIF and is contemplated in and
authorized by section 7.1 of the Development Agreement.
3
Financial or Budget Considerations
There is no budget impact to the HRA related to these agreements. No TIF has been received since the
development is not complete and the City still retains the full letter of credit for the public
improvements (Exhibit G) per the development agreement.
Legal Considerations
Legal counsel and reviewed both agreements to ensure they meet the HRA's best interest.
Equity Considerations
This development meets the City's goals to preserve and promote economically diverse housing
options in our community by creating high quality housing in Golden Valley for households with a
variety of income levels.
Recommended Action
Motion to approve First Amendment to Contract for Private Development and Subordination of
Development Contract in the form approved by the City Attorney.

CONTRACT FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT
This Contract for Private Development (the "Agreement") is made this day of
2023, by and between the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the
City of Golden Valley, a public body corporate and politic under the laws of Minnesota, having
its principal office at 7800 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, MN 55427 (the "HRA"), and 640

office at 5215 Edina Industrial Blvd., Suite 100, Edina, MN 55439 (the "Developer").

Statutes, sections 469.001 through 469.047, as amended, to encourage development and
redevelopment in the Redevelopment Project Area; and
WHEREAS, the HRA finds that it is in the public interest, helpful for the tax base and
beneficial for the health, safety and welfare of the community as a whole to promote mixed use
redevelopment of the Redevelopment Project Area with, among other uses, market rate and
affordable housing in locations where it is compatible with surrounding land uses; and

project consisting of approximately 303 multifamily rental apartments, approximately 440 to 450
spaces of structured parking and a new commercial building (collectively, the "Minimum
Improvements"), as more fully described herein; and
WHEREAS, the HRA believes the Developer's proposal is in the vital and best interests
of Golden Valley and the health, safety and welfare of its residents, and in accord with the public
purposes and provisions of the applicable state and local laws and requirements for which the

incurring the Qualifying Costs while constructing the Minimum Improvements, the HRA will issue

GL135-48-868513.0
16
to the Developer the Note in the principal amount up to $11,243,000 in substantially the form set forth
in the Authorizing Resolution attached hereto as Exhibit D. The HRA and the Developer agree that
the consideration from the Developer for the purchase of the Note will consist of the Developer's
payment of the Qualifying Costs which are eligible for reimbursement with Tax Increment and which
are incurred by the Developer in at least the principal amount of the Note. The Authorizing Resolution
will authorize delivery of the Note by the HRA's Executive Director upon satisfaction by the
Developer of all the conditions precedent specified in section 3.3 of this Agreement and interest will
begin accruing on the date of delivery of the Note. Any statement or estimate of Qualifying Costs
will not be treated as a limitation on reimbursement for any single category of Qualifying Costs
provided the Qualifying Costs in total do not exceed the principal amount of the Note.
b) Subject to the provisions thereof, the Note shall bear simple, non -compounding
interest at the rate of 6.0% per annum. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months. Principal and interest on the Note will be payable on each
Payment Date; however, the sole source of funds required to be used for payment of the HRA's
obligations under this Agreement and under the Note shall be the Available Tax Increment
received in the 6-month period preceding each Payment Date. On each Payment Date the
Available Tax Increment shall be credited against the accrued interest then due on the Note and
then applied to reduce the principal. In the event the Available Tax Increment is not sufficient to
pay the accrued interest, the unpaid accrued interest shall be carried forward without interest. All
Tax Increment in excess of the Available Tax Increment necessary to pay the principal and accrued
interest on the Note is not subject to this Agreement, and the HRA retains full discretion as to any
authorized application thereof. To the extent that the Available Tax Increment is insufficient
through the Final Payment Date to pay all amounts otherwise due on the Note, said unpaid amounts
shall then cease to be any debt or obligation of the HRA whatsoever. No interest will accrue during
any period in which payments have been suspended pursuant to this Agreement unless it is
determined that the suspension of payments was not warranted under this Agreement either by the
HRA or by adjudication.
c) The Developer understands and acknowledges that the HRA makes no
representations or warranties regarding the amount of Available Tax Increment or that revenues
pledged to the Note will be sufficient to pay the Note. Any estimates of Tax Increment prepared
by the HRA or its municipal advisors in connection with the TIF District or this Agreement are for
the benefit of the HRA and are not intended as representations on which the Developer may rely.
Section 3.3. Conditions Precedent to Issuance of the Note. Notwithstanding anything in

the Developer only after all of the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:

Section 3.5. No Business Subsidy. All of the Public Assistance offered by the HRA to the
Developer under this Agreement is with regard to the residential component of the Minimum
Improvements. In addition, the Developer's acquisition cost of the Development Property and site
preparation exceeds 70% of the assessor's current year's estimated market value of the property.
Accordingly, this project qualifies for exceptions under Minnesota Statutes, section 116J.993,
subd. 3(7) and (17) and the Public Assistance is not a business subsidy within the meaning of the
Business Subsidy Act.

addition to the requirements of this Agreement, construction of the Minimum Improvements will
9
GL135-48-868513.v7
18
necessitate compliance with the City Approvals and possible approvals by other governmental
agencies. To the extent such approvals have not already been obtained, the Developer agrees to
submit in a timely manner all applications for and pursue to their conclusion all other approvals
needed prior to constructing the Minimum Improvements.
Section 4.2. Prelimin4r y Plans and Construction Plans. (a) The Developer has submitted
and the HRA has approved the Preliminary Plans listed in Exhibit B attached hereto. Prior to
beginning construction on the Minimum Improvements, the Developer shall submit dated
Construction Plans to the City. The Construction Plans shall provide for the construction of the
Minimum Improvements and shall be in substantial conformity with the Preliminary Plans and this
Agreement. The City will approve the Construction Plans, including plans for Phasing, if they (1)
are substantially consistent with the Preliminary Plans; (2) conform to all applicable federal, State
and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; (3) are adequate to provide for the construction
of the Minimum Improvements; (4) conform to the State building code; and (5) if there has
occurred no uncured Event of Default on the part of the Developer. Except as otherwise set forth
herein, no approval by the City shall relieve the Developer of the obligation to comply with the
terms of this Agreement and the terms of all applicable federal, State and local laws, ordinances,
rules and regulations in the construction of the Minimum Improvements. Except as otherwise set
forth herein, no approval by the City shall constitute a waiver of an Event of Default. The City
shall use good faith efforts to review the Construction Plans and either approve or reject them in
writing within 15 business days after receipt. Any rejection, in whole or in part, shall set forth in
detail the reasons for rejection.
b) The Plans for Phasing shall be approved at the time of issuance of the building
permit for the residential component of the Minimum Improvements based on the provisions for
fire, life safety, mechanical, ingress/egress and parking for each portion of building for which a
partial Certificate of Completion is sought. Notwithstanding the above, the building envelop of
the residential component of the Minimum Improvements must be completed in compliance with
section 103-10 of City code.
c) If the Developer desires to make any Material Change in the Construction Plans
after approval, the Developer shall submit the proposed change to the City for its approval on
behalf of the HRA. If the proposed change is consistent with the Preliminary Plans or is otherwise
acceptable to the City and meets all other requirements of section 4.2(a) above, the City shall
approve the proposed change. Such change in the Construction Plans shall be deemed approved
by the City unless rejected, in whole or in part, by written notice by the City to the Developer,
setting forth in detail the reasons for rejection. Such rejection shall be made within 15 business
days after receipt by the City of the written notice of such change from the Developer.
Section 4.3. Commencement and Completion of Construction. (a) Subject to Unavoidable
Delays, the Developer agrees to commence construction of the commercial portion of the
Minimum Improvements on or around July 31, 2023 and the residential portion no later than July
31, 2024. All work with respect to the Minimum Improvements to be constructed or provided by
the Developer on the Development Property shall be in substantial conformity with the
Construction Plans. The Developer shall make such periodic reports to the HRA regarding
construction of the Minimum Improvements as the HRA deems necessary or helpful in order to
10
GL135-48-868513.0
19
monitor progress on construction of the Minimum Improvements. Subject to Unavoidable Delays,
the Developer agrees to have achieved Substantial Completion of the commercial portion of the
Minimum Improvements on or around August 31, 2024 and of the residential portion by December
31, 2026. The structured parking facility is a component of the residential portion of the Minimum
Improvements and will be completed on or around December 31, 2026.
b) The Developer agrees to utilize in its contract with its general contractor and all
subcontractors a subcontractor addendum, in a form acceptable to the HRA, which allows the
general contractor to withhold payment or cancel the contract if violations occur (the "Subcontract
Addendum"). The Developer shall prohibit the use of all contractors appearing on the State
disqualified" list of contractors. The Developer and all contractors and subcontractors shall
comply with all federal, State and local labor laws and regulations. If a claim is filed with the
State Department of Labor regarding any contractor or subcontractor working on the Minimum
Improvements, the Developer agrees to cooperate with the State and cause the subcontractors to
do the same and take all reasonable actions required by the State. The Developer agrees to fully
enforce the contract with its general contractor and the subcontractors, including requiring the
general contractor to enforce the Subcontract Addendum. The Developer shall certify to the HRA
prior to issuance of the Certificate of Completion that property payments have been made to all
contractors, subcontractors and laborers.
Section 4.4. Certificate of Completion. (a) After Substantial Completion of the
commercial and residential components of the Minimum Improvements in accordance with the
Construction Plans and at the written request of the Developer, the HRA will, within 20 days
thereafter, furnish the Developer with an appropriate Certificate of Completion regarding the
respective element so certifying in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto. Such Certificate of
Completion by the HRA shall be a conclusive determination of satisfaction and termination of the
agreements and covenants in this Agreement with respect to the obligations of the Developer to
construct the respective element of the Minimum Improvements and the dates for the beginning
and completion thereof.
b) Each Certificate of Completion shall be in such form set forth in Exhibit C and as
will enable it to be recorded in the proper County office for the recordation of deeds and other
instruments pertaining to the Development Property. If the HRA shall refuse to provide a
Certificate of Completion in accordance with the provisions of this section 4.4, the HRA shall
promptly notify Developer within the same 20 day period following receipt of request by the
Developer for the Certificate of Completion, and such notification from the HRA shall include a
written statement, indicating in clear detail in what respects the Developer has failed to complete
the relevant portion of the Minimum Improvements substantially in accordance with the
Construction Plans and what measures or acts will be necessary, in the opinion of the HRA, for
the Developer to take or perform in order to obtain such certification. If the HRA fails to issue
such a written statement within such 20-day period, the HRA shall be deemed to have waived its
right to do so and shall be deemed to have issued a Certificate of Completion to the Developer.
The Developer shall have 90 days following receipt of the HRA's written response to cure or agree
to terms with the HRA regarding issues to be resolved prior to the Developer obtaining a
Certification of Completion from the HRA.

Section 4.5. Public Improvements. (a) Redevelopment of the Development Property and
construction of the Minimum Improvements requires the construction of certain Public
Improvements which will primarily benefit the Development Property. The list of Public
Improvements, the estimated cost of each element and a map of the improvements is included in
Exhibit G attached hereto. The Developer will construct the Public Improvements at its expense.
The Developer has submitted preliminary plans and specifications and must submit final
construction plans for the Public Improvements prepared and signed by a registered professional
engineer. The final construction plans must be approved by the City prior to start of work by the
Developer. The City shall inspect all work on the Public Improvements at the Developer's
expense. The Developer, its contractors and subcontractors, shall follow all reasonable
instructions received from the City's inspectors regarding construction of the Public
Improvements. Prior to beginning construction of the Public Improvements, the Developer or the
Developer's engineer shall schedule a preconstruction meeting with all parties concerned,
including the City staff and engineers, to review the program for the construction work.
b) Within 45 days after the completion of all of the Public Improvements, the
Developer shall supply the City with a complete set of reproducible "as constructed" plans and
three complete sets of paper "as constructed" plans, each prepared in accordance with City
standards and in AutoCAD format based on Hennepin County coordinates. All Public
Improvements shall be completed on or around December 31, 2026.
c) The Developer agrees to require its contractor to provide to the City a warranty
bond against defects in labor and materials for the Public Improvements for a period of two years
from the date of their acceptance by the City. During such period, the Developer agrees to repair
or replace any Public Improvement, or portion or element thereof, which shows signs of failure,
normal wear and tear excepted. A decision regarding whether a Public Improvement shows signs
of failure shall be made by the City in the reasonable exercise of its judgment. If the Developer
fails to repair or replace a defective Public Improvement during the warranty period, the City may
repair or replace the defective portion and may use the Letter of Credit to reimburse itself for such
costs. The Developer agrees to reimburse the City fully for the cost of all Public Improvement
repairs or replacement if the cost thereof exceeds the remaining amount of the Letter of Credit.
Such reimbursement must be made within 45 days of the date upon which the City notifies the
Developer of the cost due under this section. If the Developer fails to make required payments to
the City, the Developer hereby consents to the City levying special assessments for any
unreimbursed amount associated with such costs against the Development Property. The
Developer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, acknowledges the benefit to the
Development Property of the repair or replacement of the Public Improvements and hereby
consents to such assessment and waives the right to a hearing or notice of hearing or any appeal
thereon under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429.
Section 4.6. Letter of Credit. (a) To ensure completion of the Public Improvements
required under this Agreement, the Developer agrees to deliver to the City prior to beginning any
construction or work on the Public Improvements a letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit"), or cash
in the amount of $1,482,416.50. This amount required represents 125 percent of the estimated
cost of the Public Improvements as detailed in Exhibit G attached hereto. The Letter of Credit
shall be delivered to the City prior to beginning any work on the Public Improvements and shall
12
GL13548-868513.v7
21
renew automatically thereafter until released by the City. The Letter of Credit shall be issued by
a bank licensed to do business in the United States determined by the City to be solvent and
creditworthy and shall be in a form acceptable to the City. The Letter of Credit shall allow the
City to draw upon the instrument, in whole or part, to complete construction of any or all of the
Public Improvements.
b) The City agrees that prior to drawing on the Letter of Credit it will provide notice
to the Developer and a period of no less than 30 days for the Developer to cure the default.
Notwithstanding the above, the City shall not be obligated to allow a cure period which extends
beyond the expiration date of the Letter of Credit.
c) The amount of the Letter of Credit may be reduced as the Public Improvements are
completed upon written request from the Developer. Upon such request, the City agrees to reduce
the Letter of Credit to an amount roughly equal to 150 percent of the cost of the remaining work.
The Letter of Credit shall be released in full and returned to the Developer within 60 days following
completion and acceptance of all Public Improvements. Prior to releasing any portion of the Letter
of Credit or accepting another letter of credit in replacement, the City shall first be satisfied
regarding the quality and completeness of the work and that the Developer has taken such steps as
may be necessary to ensure that no liens will attach to public property. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Letter of Credit shall not be reduced to less than $50,000, until such
time as the City releases the entire Letter of Credit and subject to delivery of the required warranty
bond to the City.
d) It is the intention of the parties that the City at all times have available to it a Letter
of Credit in an amount adequate to ensure completion of all elements of the Public Improvements.
To that end and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all requests by the Developer for
a reduction or release of the Letter of Credit shall be evaluated by the City in light of that principle.
e) If at any time the City reasonably determines that the bank issuing the Letter of
Credit no longer satisfies the City's requirements regarding solvency and creditworthiness, the
City shall notify the Developer and the Developer shall provide to the City within 60 days a
substitute Letter of Credit from another bank meeting the City's requirements. If within 60 days
of notice the Developer fails to provide the City with a substitute Letter of Credit from an issuing
bank satisfactory to the City, the City may draw under the existing Letter of Credit.
Section 4.7. Declaration Reaardine Income Restrictions. The Developer agrees that the
residential portion of the Minimum Improvements will be subject to the following tenant income
restrictions:
a) The Developer will cause at least 15 percent (46 units) of the Rental Housing Units
in the Minimum Improvements to be occupied by Qualifying Tenants whose household income is
60 percent or less of the area median gross income, all as further described in the Declaration
attached hereto as Exhibit F. The Rental Housing Units which will be made available to Qualifying
Tenants will include five studios, 29 one -bedroom units and 12 2-bedroom units and will be
interspersed with the market rate Rental Housing Units and not concentrated in one or more
portions of the Minimum Improvements. Prior to any payment under the Note, the Developer
13
GL135-48-868513.v7
22
will deliver the executed Declaration to the HRA in recordable form. The Declaration shall be in
effect for a minimum of 20 years from the date of issuance of Certificate of Completion for the
residential Minimum Improvements.
b) As a condition to initial and continuing occupancy, each person who is intended to
be a Qualifying Tenant will be required annually to sign and deliver to the Developer a certification
in which the prospective Qualifying Tenant certifies as to his or her income. In addition, the person
will be required to provide whatever other information, documents, or certifications are reasonably
deemed necessary by the HRA's Executive Director to substantiate his or her income, on an
ongoing annual basis, and to verify that the tenant continues to be a Qualifying Tenant.
Certifications will be maintained on file by the Developer with respect to each Qualifying Tenant
who resides in a Rental Housing Unit or resided therein during the immediately preceding calendar
year.
c) The form of lease to be utilized by the Developer in renting any Rental Housing
Unit to any person who is intended to be a Qualifying Tenant must provide for termination of the
lease and consent by the person to immediate eviction for failure to qualify as a Qualifying Tenant
as a result of any material misrepresentation made by the person with respect to income.
d) On or before April 15 of each year during the term of the Declaration, commencing
on the first April 15 after issuance of the Certificate of Completion for the residential Minimum
Improvements, the Developer must submit evidence of tenant incomes, showing that tenants of at
least 46 of the Rental Housing Units meet the income restrictions set forth in the Declaration.
e) While the covenants in this Section 4.7 are in effect, the HRA and its
representatives will have the right at all reasonable times, and after reasonable notice, to inspect
and to examine and copy all books and records of the Developer and its successors and assigns
relating to the covenants described in this Section 4.7 and in the Declaration.
f) The Developer acknowledges that the primary purpose for requiring compliance by
the Developer with the rental restrictions provided in this Agreement and the Declaration is to
ensure compliance of the Minimum Improvements with the income covenants set forth herein and
the City's Mixed Income Housing Policy. If prior to the Termination Date the HRA reasonably
determines, based on the reports submitted by the Developer or otherwise that the residential
portion of the project no longer meets the requirements of the City's Mixed Income Housing
Policy, such event will be deemed an Event of Default by the Developer under this Agreement;
provided, however, that the HRA may not terminate this Agreement so long as the determination
is being contested in good faith and has not been finally adjudicated.
g) The Developer covenants and agrees that the Developer will cause or require as a
condition precedent to any conveyance, transfer, assignment, or any other disposition of the
Minimum Improvements prior to the Termination Date that the transferee assume in writing, in a
form acceptable to the HRA, all duties and obligations of the Developer under this section 4.7 and
the Declaration regarding income restrictions and verification of Qualified Tenants by means of
an assumption agreement acceptable to the HRA. The Developer will deliver an executed copy of
the assumption agreement to the HRA prior to the transfer.

Opportunity, Affirmative Marketing and Fair Housing practices with regard to marketing and
renting all Rental Housing Units. The Equal Housing Opportunity statement ("We do business in

ARTICLE VI
Payment of Taxes, Use of Tax Increment
Section 6.1. Taxes. The Developer agrees that prior to the Termination Date: (i) it will
not seek administrative or judicial review of the applicability of any tax statute determined by any
Tax Official to be applicable to the Minimum Improvements or the Development Property or raise
the inapplicability of any such tax statute as a defense in any proceedings, including delinquent
tax proceedings; (ii) it will not seek administrative or judicial review of the constitutionality of any
tax statute determined by any Tax Official to be applicable to the Minimum Improvements or the
Development Property or raise the unconstitutionality of any such tax statute as a defense in any
proceedings, including delinquent tax proceedings; and (iii) except as described in paragraph (e)
below, it will not cause a reduction in the assessed value of the Minimum Improvements or the
Development Property through:
a) willful destruction of the Minimum Improvements or any part thereof,
b) an application to the commissioner of revenue of the State or to any local taxing
jurisdiction requesting an abatement or deferral of real estate taxes on the Minimum Improvements
or the Development Property;
c) a transfer of the Minimum Improvements or the Development Property, or any part
thereof, to an entity exempt from the payment of real estate taxes under State law and that entity
applies for tax exemption; or
d) any other proceedings, whether administrative, legal or equitable, with any
administrative body within the County or the State or with any court of the State or the federal
government.
e) The Developer may seek through petition or other means to have the market value
for the Development Property or Minimum Improvements reduced. Until the Note is fully paid,
such activity must be preceded by written notice from the Developer to the HRA. Upon receiving
such notice, or otherwise learning of the Developer's intentions, the HRA may suspend payments
due under the Note until the actual amount of the reduction is determined, whereupon the HRA
will make the suspended payments less any amount that the HRA is required to repay the County
as a result of any reduction in market value of the Development Property or the Minimum
Improvements. During the period that the payments are subject to suspension, the HRA may make
partial payments on the Note if it determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the amount retained
will be sufficient to cover any repayment which the County may require. The HRA's suspension
of payments on the Note pursuant to this section shall not be considered a default under this
Agreement.
Section 6.2. Right to Collect Delinquent Taxes and Special Assessments. The Developer
acknowledges that at all times prior to the Termination Date the HRA shall have the right to sue
the Developer or its successors and assigns to collect delinquent real estate taxes and any penalty

in which the HRA prevails, the HRA shall also be entitled to recover its reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses, including attorney fees.

increment financing district within the meaning of section 469.174, subd. 10a of the TIF Act.
Except for payments to the Developer as provided for in this Agreement and the Note, the HRA
shall be free to use any Tax Increment it receives from the County with respect to the TIF District
for any purpose for which such increment may lawfully be used under the TIF Act and the HRA
shall have no obligations to the Developer with respect to the use of such Tax Increment.
ARTICLE VII
Restrictions on Sale of Minimum Improvements; Termination of Agreement
Section 7.1. Prohibition Against Sale of Minimum Improvements.
a) The Developer represents and agrees that its use of the Development Property and
its other undertakings pursuant to the Agreement, are, and will be, used for the purpose of
construction of the Minimum Improvements on the Development Property and not for speculation
in land holding. The Developer represents and agrees that, prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Completion regarding both portions of the Minimum Improvements, there shall be no Sale of all
or any portion of the Development Property or the Minimum Improvements constructed thereon
nor shall the Developer suffer any such Sale to be made, without the prior written approval of the
HRA, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided however, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Developer shall be entitled to lease Rental Housing Units to third parties or transfer
or assign the that portion of the Development Property that contains the commercial
nonresidential) use without the prior written approval of the HRA. As a condition of approval of
any such sale, the HRA shall require, at a minimum, that the proposed transferee shall have entered
into an agreement whereby the transferee expressly assumes all of the Developer's obligations
under this Agreement. Any such agreement shall include the HRA as a party and otherwise be in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to the HRA.
b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Developer is
authorized, without the approval of HRA, to obtain construction and permanent financing for the
Minimum Improvements and to mortgage the Development Property and collaterally assign
payments under the Note to provide security for the construction and permanent financing, and the
HRA shall subordinate this Agreement to such mortgage.
c) After a Certificate of Completion has been issued, Developer or other transferor
may freely, without the approval of HRA, sell or transfer the respective portion of the Minimum
Improvements or the Development Property to any person at any time. In connection with such a
sale or transfer, Developer may assign its interest in this Agreement and the Note to the buyer or
transferee, provided that such buyer or transferee assumes and agrees to perform the obligations
of Developer hereunder. In the event that the Developer or other transferor enters into an
agreement to sell or transfer the Minimum Improvements or the Development Property or any
17
GL135-48-868513.v7
26
portion to any person, then, within 15 days after request, the HRA shall acknowledge and certify
certain facts in connection with this Agreement and the status of obligations of
Developer/transferor under this Agreement. The HRA shall provide this certification to
Developer/transferor and any potential buyer or transferee of the Minimum Improvements or the
Development Property or any portion thereof. The certification shall reference the following: (1)
that the Developer/transferor and transferee may rely on the representations and agreements made
by the HRA in the certification; (2) the status of the completion of the construction obligations of
the Minimum Improvements; (3) the amount of payments made under the Note and the outstanding
principal balance of the Note, if any, and that any amounts owed under the Note will be paid to
Developer and not the transferee unless the rights under the Note are specifically assigned to the
transferee; (4) that the Developer and not the transferee remains responsible for construction
obligations under this Agreement, and that transferee and any subsequent owners of the Minimum
Improvements or the Development Property are released from all construction obligations under
this Agreement; (5) that the transferee and not the Developer/transferor shall be responsible for all
non -construction obligations under this Agreement arising subsequent to the sale or transfer of the
Minimum Improvements or the Development Property for the portion of the Development
Property owned by the transferee so long as the transferee has assumed such obligations by written
instrument, and that the Developer/transferor is released from all such non -construction
obligations under this Agreement; (6) whether or not there exists any defaults, events of default,
or conditions which with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute a default under
this Agreement and (7) such other matters as may be reasonably requested by the Developer or the
transferee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior written approval from the HRA shall not be required for any
transfer or assignment prior to or after issuance of a Certificate of Completion: (i) to any entity
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Developer; (ii) to any entity in which
the majority equity interest is owned by the parties that have a majority equity interest in the
Developer; (iii) that after giving effect to such transfer or assignment does not result in a change
in control of the Developer; or (iv) that portion of the Development Property that contains the
commercial (nonresidential) use.
Section 7.2. Termination of Agreement. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date,
the parties agree to execute and record a document terminating this Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII
Events of Default
Section 8.1. Events of Default Defined. Each and every one of the following shall be an
Event of Default under this Agreement:

Section 8.2. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default referred to in
section 8.1 of this Agreement occurs, the non -defaulting party may take any one or more of the
following actions after providing 30 days written notice to the defaulting party of the Event of
Default, but only if the Event of Default has not been cured within said 30 days from the receipt
of Notice or, if the Event of Default is by its nature incurable within 30 days, the defaulting party
does not provide assurances to the non -defaulting party reasonably satisfactory to the non -
defaulting party that the Event of Default will be cured and will be cured as soon as reasonably

necessary or desirable to the non -defaulting parry to collect any payments due under this
Agreement, including reimbursement of the Public Assistance previously granted, or to enforce
performance and observance of any obligation, agreement, or covenant of the defaulting party
under this Agreement.
The HRA recognizes and agrees that any lender who is the beneficiary of a mortgage
recorded against the Development Property, shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to
cure any default by the Developer under the same terms as the Developer, and any cure by such
lender shall be accepted or rejected as if made by the Developer.
Section 8.3. Remedies after Certificate of Completion. The HRA may exercise its rights
under Section 8.2(c) only for the following Events of Default:

within 45 days after written demand by the HRA to do so; or
2) the Developer takes or permits an action prohibited by section 6.1 of this
Agreement; or
3) the Developer transfers the Minimum Improvements or the Development Property,
or any part thereof, to an entity exempt from the payment of real estate taxes under State law.
Section 8.4. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy conferred herein or reserved to the parties
is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every remedy
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power
accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver

the Project.
Occupancy Restrictions. The Developer represents, warrants, and covenants that:

GL135-48-868513.v7
60
a) QualiLjnig Tenants and Rent. Throughout the Qualified Project Period, 15 percent
46) of the Rental'Housing Units shall be administered in accordance with 42 USC Section 3607(b)
and Minnesota Statutes, Section 363A.21, subdivision 2 and shall be occupied (or treated as
occupied as provided herein) or held vacant and available for occupancy by Qualifying Tenants.
Qualifying Tenants" means those persons and families who are determined from time to time by
the Developer to have combined adjusted income that does not exceed 60% of the median income
for the standard metropolitan statistical area which includes Golden Valley, Minnesota, as that
figure is determined and announced from time to time by HUD, as adjusted for family size (the
Median Income") for the applicable calendar year. For purposes of this definition, the occupants
of a Rental Housing Unit will not be deemed to be Qualifying Tenants if all the occupants of such
Rental Housing Unit at any time are "students," as defined in Section 152(f)(2) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), not entitled to an exemption under the Code.
The determination of whether an individual or family is a Qualifying Tenant will be made at the
time the tenancy commences and on an ongoing basis thereafter, determined at least annually. If
during their tenancy a Qualifying Tenant's income exceeds 140% of the Median Income, the next
available Rental Housing Unit (determined in accordance with the Code and applicable
regulations) (the "Next Available Unit Rule") must be leased to a Qualifying Tenant or held vacant
and available for occupancy by a Qualifying Tenant. If the Next Available Unit Rule is violated,
the Rental Housing Unit will not continue to be treated as a Qualifying Unit.
b) Certification of Tenant Eligibility. As a condition to initial and continuing
occupancy, each person who is intended to be a Qualifying Tenant will be required annually to
sign and deliver to the Developer a Certification of Tenant Eligibility substantially in the form
attached as Exhibit B hereto, or in any other form as may be approved by the HRA (the "Eligibility
Certification"), in which the prospective Qualifying Tenant certifies as to having a qualifying low
or moderate income. The Qualifying Tenant will be required to provide whatever other
information, documents, or certifications are deemed necessary by the HRA to substantiate the
Eligibility Certification, on an ongoing annual basis, and to verify that the tenant continues to be
a Qualifying Tenant within the meaning of Section 3(a) hereof. Eligibility Certifications will be
maintained for the duration of the Qualified Project Period on file by the Developer with respect
to each Qualifying Tenant who resides in a Rental Housing Unit or resided therein during the
Qualified Project Period.
c) Lease. The form of lease to be utilized by the Developer in renting any Rental
Housing Units in the Project to any person who is intended to be a Qualifying Tenant will provide
for termination of the lease and consent by the person to immediate eviction for failure to qualify
as a Qualifying Tenant as a result of any material misrepresentation made by the person with
respect to the Eligibility Certification.
d) Annual Report. The Developer covenants and agrees that during the term of this
Declaration, it will prepare and submit to the City on or before July 1 of each year, a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, executed by the Developer, (a) identifying
the tenancies and the dates of occupancy (or vacancy) for all Qualifying Tenants in the Project,
including the number and percentage of the Rental Housing Units of the Project which were
occupied by Qualifying Tenants (or held vacant and available for occupancy by Qualifying
Tenants) at all times during the year preceding the date of the certificate; (b) describing all transfers

or other changes in ownership of the Project or any interest therein; and (c) stating, that to the best
knowledge of the person executing the certificate after due inquiry, all the Rental Housing Units
were rented or available for rental on a continuous basis during the year to members of the general
public and that the Developer was not otherwise in default under this Declaration during the year.
e) Notice of Non-Com aliance. The Developer will immediately notify the City if at
any time during the term of this Declaration fewer than 15 percent (46) of the Rental Housing
Units in the Project are occupied or available for occupancy by Qualifying Tenants as required by
the terms of this Declaration. The 46 Rental Housing Units reserved for Qualifying Tenants will
include five studios, 29 one -bedroom units and 12 two -bedroom units and will be interspersed with
the market rate Rental Housing Units and will not be concentrated in one or more portions of the
Project.
4. Transfer Restrictions. The Developer covenants and agrees that the Developer will
cause or require as a condition precedent to any conveyance, transfer, assignment, or any other
disposition of the Project prior to the termination of the Occupancy Restrictions provided herein
the "Transfer") that the transferee of the Project pursuant to the Transfer assume in writing, in a
form acceptable to the HRA, all duties and obligations of the Developer under this Declaration,
including this Section 4, in the event of a subsequent Transfer by the transferee prior to expiration
of the Rental Restrictions and Occupancy Restrictions provided herein (the "Assumption
Agreement"). The Developer will deliver the Assumption Agreement to the HRA prior to the
Transfer.

a) The Developer will permit, during normal business hours and upon reasonable
notice, any duly authorized representative of the HRA to inspect any books and records of the
Developer regarding the Project with respect to the incomes of Qualifying Tenants.
b) The Developer will submit any other information, documents or certifications
requested by the HRA which the HRA deems reasonably necessary to substantiate the Developer's
continuing compliance with the provisions specified in this Declaration.
c) The Developer acknowledges that the primary purpose for requiring compliance by
the Developer with the restrictions provided in this Declaration is to ensure compliance of the
property with the housing affordability covenants set forth in Section 4.7 of the Agreement and
the City of Golden Valley's Mixed Income Housing Policy, and by reason thereof, the Developer,
in consideration for assistance provided by the HRA under the Agreement that makes possible the
construction of the Project (as defined in the Agreement) on the Development Property, hereby
agrees and consents that the HRA will be entitled, for any breach of the provisions of this
Declaration, and in addition to all other remedies provided by law or in equity, to enforce specific
performance by the Developer of its obligations under this Declaration in a state court of competent
jurisdiction. The Developer hereby further specifically acknowledges that the HRA cannot be
adequately compensated by monetary damages in the event of any default hereunder.

harmless, the HRA from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including

in connection with Borrower’s construction on the Land of a project consisting of approximately
303 multifamily rental apartments, approximately 440 to 450 spaces of structured parking, a
new commercial building and certain public improvements (the “Project”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Development Contract, the Authority is to execute that
certain Taxable Tax Increment Revenue Note in the maximum principal amount of up to
$11,243,000.00 (the “TIF Note”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Development

WHEREAS, pursuant to a certain loan agreement dated as of _____________, 2024 by
and between Borrower and Lender (“Loan Agreement”), the Lender has agreed to make a bridge

GL135-48-958529.v2
delivered by Borrower and payable to the order of the Lender in the original principal face
amount of $[8,660,000.00] (the “Note”) and is secured, inter alia, by (i) a certain Second
Construction Mortgage, Security Agreement, Fixture Filing and Assignment of Leases and
Rents dated as of _______________, 2024 from Borrower in favor of Lender encumbering the
Project (together with all renewals, amendments, modifications, increases and extensions
thereof, the “Mortgage”), filed of record in the office of the Hennepin County Recorder on or
about the date hereof; and (ii) certain other instruments (such other documents evidencing or
securing the Loan, together with the Note, the Loan Agreement and the Mortgage, as the same
may be amended, modified, replaced or restated from time to time, are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Loan Documents”); and
WHEREAS, the Lender has required, as a condition to making the Loan, that (a) the
Borrower assign all of its rights under the Development Contract and TIF Note to the Lender to
secure the obligations of the Borrower to the Lender under the Loan Documents pursuant to that
certain Assignment of Development Contract and TIF Note dated as of _____________, 2024
between Borrower and Lender (the “TIF Assignment”), (b) the rights of the Authority under the
Development Contract be subordinated to the Mortgage, and (c) the Authority agree to certain
other matters, all as more fully contained herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.TIF Assignment. The TIF Assignment constitutes a present and absolute
assignment to Lender of Borrower’s rights under the Development Contract and of the TIF
Note; provided, however, Lender confers on Borrower the right to enforce the terms of the
Development Contract so long as no Event of Default (as defined in any of the Loan Documents)
has occurred and is continuing under any of the Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, Lender may, in Lender’s sole discretion,
give notice to the other parties to the Development Contract of its intent to enforce the rights of
Borrower under the Development Contract and may initiate or participate in any legal
proceedings respecting the enforcement of said rights. Nothing in this Agreement or in the TIF
Assignment shall give Lender a greater right than Borrower to enforce the Development
Contract. Nothing in this Agreement or the TIF Assignment shall be deemed an assignment by
Borrower or an assumption by Lender of Borrower’s obligations, duties, covenants or
representations under the Development Contract.
2.Intentionally Deleted.
3.Intentionally Deleted.
4.Authorization to the Authority. The Authority agrees and acknowledges that the
TIF Assignment constitutes a perfected, absolute and present assignment, provided that the
Lender shall have no right under the TIF Assignment or this Agreement to enforce the
provisions of the Development Contract or the TIF Note or exercise any of its rights or remedies
under this Agreement until an Event of Default (as that term is defined in any of the Loan
Documents) shall occur and be continuing. The payments under the TIF Note shall be paid
86
3
GL135-48-958529.v2
directly to the Lender until such time as the Debt (as defined in the Loan Agreement) has been
paid in full, at which time the Lender shall promptly provide notice to the Authority (with a
copy to Borrower) that such payments are to be made to the Borrower. The Lender and the
Authority acknowledge that in the TIF Assignment, the Borrower irrevocably authorized and
directed the Authority to make payments under the TIF Note directly to the Lender and to
recognize the claims of the Lender or its assigns without investigating the reason for any action
taken or the validity of or the amount of indebtedness owing to the Lender or its assigns or the
existence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and that the Borrower
irrevocably directed and authorized the Authority to pay exclusively to the Lender or its assigns
all sums due under the TIF Note. The Lender and the Authority acknowledge that in the TIF
Assignment, the Borrower agreed that to the extent such sums are paid to the Lender or its
assigns, the Authority shall have no further liability to the Borrower for the same and that the
sole receipt by the Lender or its assigns of any sum paid by the Authority shall be in discharge
and release of that portion of any amount owed by the Authority.
5.Intentionally Deleted.
6.Event of Default; Remedies. Subject to the provisions set forth in this Paragraph
6, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as that term is defined in any of the Loan
Documents), the Lender may, without affecting any of its rights or remedies against the
Borrower under any other instrument, document or agreement, exercise its rights under this
Agreement as the Borrower’s attorney-in-fact in any manner permitted by law and, in addition,
the Lender shall have the right to exercise and enforce any and all rights and remedies available
after a default to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State
of Minnesota. If notice to the Borrower of any intended disposition of collateral or of any
intended action is required by law in any particular instance, such notice shall be deemed
commercially reasonable if given at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the intended disposition
or other action. Furthermore, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default (as that term is defined in any of the Loan Documents), Lender shall have the right (but
not the obligation), upon written notice to the Authority, to assume all obligations of Borrower
under the Development Contract. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect or impair
any rights which Lender may have under the Loan Documents.
7.Consent; Representations and Warranties of the Authority. The Authority
acknowledges that the Lender is making the Loan to the Borrower and consents to the same.
The Authority also consents to and approves the assignment of the Development Contract and
TIF Note (when and if issued) by the Borrower to the Lender as collateral for the Loan;
provided, however, that this consent shall not deprive the Authority of or otherwise limit any of
the Authority's rights or remedies under the Development Contract and TIF Note and shall not
relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations under the Development Contract and TIF Note.
The Authority further represents and warrants to the Lender that (a) the Authority has
the corporate power and authority to perform its obligations under the Development Contract
(and under the TIF Note once issued), (b) the Development Contract (and the TIF Note once
issued) are valid agreements enforceable in accordance with their terms, are in full force and
effect and have not been amended, modified, altered, cancelled or surrendered, (c) the Authority
is not in default under the Development Contract and that all covenants, conditions, agreements
87
4
GL135-48-958529.v2
and payments have been performed as required therein, except those not to be performed until
after the date hereof, and (d) except for this Agreement and the TIF Assignment, the Authority
has not received any notice of a sale, transfer, assignment, hypothecation, encumbrance or
pledge of the Development Contract or the TIF Note. To the actual knowledge of the Authority,
the Borrower is not in default under the Development Contract.
8.Intentionally Deleted.
9.Subordination.
(a)The Authority hereby agrees that the rights and remedies of the Authority under
the Development Contract hereby are and shall remain at all times completely and
unconditionally subject and subordinate to the liens, rights and security interest created by the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and to any and all amendments, modifications,
extensions, replacements or renewals of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall be construed as subordinating the requirements contained in
the Development Contract that the Project be used in accordance with the provisions of Section
9.3 of the Development Contract and that the residential portion of the Project, located on Lot
1, Block 1, Sentinel GV, be subject to the Declaration of Income Restrictions in accordance
with Section 4.7 of the Development Contract. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Authority shall continue to have the ability to suspend, adjust, or terminate payments on the
TIF Note in accordance with its terms if an Event of Default (as defined in the Development
Contract) occurs as provided in Section 8.2 of the Development Contract.
10.Approval of Financing. The Authority hereby approves the financing of the
Project as contemplated by the Loan Documents.
11.Notice to the Authority. The Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to provide the Authority with all default notices sent to the Borrower pursuant to the
Loan Documents.
12.No Assumption. The Authority acknowledges that the Lender is not a party to
the Development Contract, and by executing this Agreement does not become a party to the
Development Contract, and specifically does not assume and shall not be bound by any
obligations of the Borrower to the Authority under the Development Contract and that the
Lender shall incur no obligations whatsoever to the Authority except as expressly provided
herein. The TIF Assignment is given only as collateral security, and the Lender shall not be
obligated to perform or discharge any obligation or liability of the Borrower under the
Development Contract or the TIF Note.
13.Notice from the Authority; Lender Right to Cure and Perform. So long as the
Development Contract remains in effect, the Authority agrees to give to the Lender copies of
notices of any default or event of default given to the Borrower under the Development
Contract. Prior to any termination of the Development Contract and/or the TIF Note, Lender
shall have an opportunity to cure such default within a reasonable time. Furthermore, regardless
of whether a default or event of default has occurred under the Development Contract, the
Authority agrees to accept from Lender any performance tendered under the Development
Contract by Lender as if the same were tendered by Borrower; provided however that it is
88
5
GL135-48-958529.v2
understood and agreed (a) that by tendering performance under any of said agreements, Lender
does not assume any of the obligations or duties of Borrower under or with respect to the
Development Contract unless Lender expressly assumes the Development Contract in writing
as provided in Paragraph 6 above, and (b) Lender shall not be obligated to cure any defaults of
Borrower under the Development Contract.
14.Amendments. The Authority hereby represents and warrants to Lender for the
purpose of inducing Lender to make advances to Borrower under the Loan Documents that it
will not agree to any amendment or modification to the Development Contract or to the TIF
Note issued under the Development Contract that materially affects the amount or the collection
of Available Tax Increment (as defined in the Development Contract) or that in any way affects
the Project without the Lender's written consent.
15.Waiver. This Agreement can be waived, modified, amended, terminated or
discharged only explicitly in writing signed by the parties hereto. A waiver by the Lender shall
be effective only in a specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Mere delay or failure
to act shall not preclude the exercise or enforcement of any of the Lender’s rights or remedies
hereunder. All rights and remedies of the Lender shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singularly or concurrently at the Lender’s option, and any and exercise or enforcement of any
one such right or remedy shall neither be a condition to nor bar the exercise or enforcement of
any other.
16.Headings. The descriptive headings for the several sections of this Agreement
are inserted for convenience only and not to confine or limit any of the terms or provisions
hereof.
17.Addresses for Notice. Any notice from, request, demand or communication
hereunder shall be deemed fully given if delivered or served by depositing the same with the

rights conferred upon the Borrower under the Development Contract, provided that no condition
of default exists and remains uncured beyond applicable cure periods in the obligations of the
Borrower under the Development Contract. Further, Lender, or a transferee of Lender, shall
have the right to treat the Development Contract as prior to the lien of the Loan Documents and
may further assign Borrower’s rights under the Development Contract to a purchaser of the
Project at the foreclosure or to any purchaser from Lender (or its affiliate) following the
acquisition of the Project at the foreclosure or to any purchaser from Lender (or its affiliate)
following the acquisition of the Project by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, provided that no

3.B. Closing Date Extension to the Contract for Development Between the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) for 208
Meander Road and 4707 Circle Down
Prepared By
Christine Costello, Housing & Economic Development Manager
Summary
On July 5, 2023 Special HRA meeting , a public hearing was held and the Contract for Development
(Development Agreement) for three properties, that included 208 Meander and 4707 Circle Down,
was approved. (Motion carried 5-0). HRA obligations from the Development Agreement have taken
longer than anticipated and in the meantime GMHC has been working on other projects throughout
the Twin Cities. Thus, it has taken longer for closing to occur and for the construction to begin on the
HOPE projects. Per the Development Agreement any extension that exceeds six months from the date
provided in the agreement must be approved by the HRA Board.
GMHC is ready to close on 208 Meander within the coming month and is planning to begin
construction this year. 4707 Circle Down is finalizing the platting process and will be able to close with
GMHC by the the end of the year so they can begin construction in 2025. We are requesting that the
extensions be given until December 31, 2025 in order to give staff and the developer enough time for
their due diligence and construction period.
Financial or Budget Considerations
Pursuant to the terms of the Development Agreement the HRA is writing down the land and conveying
it to the developer for one dollar ($1).
Legal Considerations
Closing extension templates were reviewed by the City Attorney.
Equity Considerations
The Home Ownership Program for Equity meets the City’s goals to preserve and promote economically
diverse housing options in our community by creating high quality housing in Golden Valley for
households with a variety of income levels, ages, and sizes. Dedicated publicly owned land for more
affordable housing for homeownership is a valuable resource to meet our affordable housing goals.

Minnesota Housing Impact Fund for Single-Family, Duplex, and Rowhomes for HOPE. On December 15,
2023 the city was notified of an award for the HOPE program sites.
