amendment to the GVEC LLC Development Agreement extending the deadline for
construction of the remainder vf the project. He explained that the bank would like to work

market the property without being in default.
Commissioner Harris asked about the length of the extension. Burt said an extension could
be anywhere from 18 months to 2 years.
Commissioner Clausen asked what would happen to the property if it is not economical for
the bank to finish the project. Burt stated that the HRA could decide to dissolve the TIF

Approval of Second Amendment and Assignment - GVEC Properties, LLC Private
Development Agreement
Andre explained that that GVEC development project had been in default under the GVEG
Private Development agreement due to non-payment of taxes and is under threat of
foreclosure for default on loan payments. As of December 21, 2011, the developer further
defaulted by not meeting canstruction deadlines for Phases II and III of the project, as
established in the First Amendment to the Development Agreement. She stated that the
mortgage holder, Bank Mutual, is seeking to take over this property by securing a deed in
lieu of foreclosure in order to secure 4ngoing tax-increment financing suppart for the
project. She explained that this proposed second amendment to the Development
Agreement would allow the following: Bank Mutual will take ownership of the property and
market it to a developer while continuing to keep current on the taxes, the new Phases II
and III construction deadline will be �ecember 31, 2013, The HRA must approve any
prospective buyer/developer and such developer will assume all of the obligations in the
Development Agreement and the Tax Increment Note will continue to exist, with no further
interest accrued.
Harris asked about the reasans leading to default. Andre stated that the developer wasn't
able to sell the units and speculated that the economy might have been a factor.
Pentel asked if new units will need to be built in the same style as the existing units. Andre
stated that would be discussed with any future developer of the property.
Harris asked if Bank Mutual has a certain type of developer in mind. Andre said she didn't
know but explained that it could be something different from what was proposed or built in
the past.
MOVED by Clausen, seconded by Scanlon and motion carried unanimausly to approve #he

Amending Golden Hills Redevelopment Plan (to be renamed I-394 Corridor
Development Plan)
A. Public Hearing - Amendment to Redevelopment Plan
B. Adoption of Resolution Approving Revision of the Redevelopment Plan for the
Golden Hills Redevelopment Project and Renaming it the I-394 Carridor
Redevelopment Plan - Resolution 12-3
Andre gave a brief history of the Golden Hills Redevelapment Plan and explained that the
goal of this current proposal is to amend the existing redevelopment plan ta incorporate
changes implemented 2008 and to expand the geographic area in the Plan to better
correspond to the I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District.
Pentel asked Andre to explain the importance of adopting an updated redevelapment plan.
Andre stated that redevelopment plans allow the City and private developers to have a
clear view of what is possible and what is desirable in certain areas.
Pentel added that adopting a redevelopment plan in no way requires the Gity to use Tax
Increment Financing. Andre stated that a detailed financing plan is done if and when a
project comes forward or if there is a public improvement that needs bonding.
Harris asked if the City is taking advantage of promoting this plan to the development
community. Andre stated that the City usually only promotes a redevelopment project
through a Request for Proposals (RFP) if the HRA controls the land. In this area, the HRA
doesn't control any of the land.
Pentel opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Pentel
closed the public hearing.
MOVED by Harris, seconded by Scanlon and motion carried unanimously ta adopt
Resolution 12-3, Resolution Approving Revision of the Redevelopment Plan for the Golden
Hills Redevelopment Project and Renaming it the I-394 Corridor Redevelopment Plan.

7. Public Hearing- Sale of Land to Global One Golden Valley Private Development Agreement (for
Three•Nine•Four Development)
Prepared By
leanne Andre, Assistant Director, Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Summary
Since 2010 the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) has been working with Global One
Commercial on the possible redevelopment of undeveloped land at the northwest quadrant of
Trunk Highway 100 and Interstate 394 that was acquired by the Minnesota Qepartment of
Transportation (MnDOT) in the 1980s. Some of the property was taken for the expansion of the
highway, with the residual property used as a staging area during the conversion of U.S. Highway
12 into Interstate 394. The residual property has remained vacant since the completion af the
freeway and is available for development. The parcel is located in the City's Golden Hills
Redevelopment Area.
When excess MnDOT property is sold, the City's Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is
given the right of first refusal concerning the sale of the land for redevelopment purposes.
Otherwise MnDOT would dispose of the land by public auction to the highest bidder and the HRA
and City would have no means, other than standard planning approvals, to guide development of
the site.
The developer has worked with staff on the attached Global One Golden Valley Private
Development Agreement. The agreement sets forth a plan ta proceed with the development of
the MnDOT parcel, in conjunction with an ad}acent parcel. The proposed development includes
two structures, a 212-unit, six-story, market-rate apartment building and a 149-unit, five-story
senior apartment building. Both buildings have underground parking. The site plan also includes
surface parking and a storm-water retention pond.
Staff and the developer have worked through a number of major issues related to this project,
including traffic, access and accommodation of the new Metropolitan Council Environmental
Services sewer interceptor. HRA staff and the developer will be available to address questions
about the project and related concerns.
Terms of Development Agreement
As noted earlier, the MnDOT parcel is in a redevelvpment area and can be sold to the HRA for
redevelopment purposes. The HRA can then, through a Private Development Agreement, sell the
property to a developer for an identified project. The development agreement sets forth a
number of steps necessary for the sale af land to occur involving a number of parties, including
MnDOT, the adjacent property owner, and the City of Golden Valley. If the development
agreement is approved by the HRA the following activities are necessary.
1. The developer must pay for and secure a land survey and appraisal of the MnDOT property
and establish a purchase price acceptable to MnDOT.
2. The developer must purchase the adjacent parcel from a private owner.
3. When MnDOT has agreed ta an appraised value, it will participate, with the developer, in
seeking planning appravals for redevelopment of the site. (MnDOT does not enter into
purchase agreements but will provide a letter outlining its terms for selling the property.)
4. The developer will apply to the City for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to secure
municipal approval for the development of the property (separate consideration of
preliminary and final applicationsj. The PUD applicant must hold a neighborhaod public
meeting to inform the neighborhood about the development concept and obtain information
and suggestions regarding the development from the neighborhood. The PUD process also
involves two informal public hearings held by the Planning Commission and two pubfic
hearings held by the City Council.
5. If the developer secures PU� approval for the project, the HRA must approve the final PUD
site plan for the project prior to the sale of the property.
6. The sale of land would be a pass through, with the HRA purchase of the land followed
immediately by the sale to Global One Golden Valley, LLC.
7. If the project is approved, the developer will provide for relocation benefits for tenants of
apartment units impacted by the development.

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting
April 10, 2012
Agenda Item
8. Review of Tax Increment Financing Policy
Prepared By
Jeanne Andre, Assistant Director, Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Summary
In 2003 the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) adopted a policy and procedure related
to Tax Increment Financing. At the time of its adoption, the HRA requested an annual reuiew of
the policy to see if it should be continued or revised. Attached is the current version of the policy,
which was last changed in 2006. In keeping with the HRA request for annual review the current
policy is presented for consideration by the HRA. Staff has no recommended changes to the
poliey in 2012.
There were no recommended changes to the policy in 2011. In 2009 the Council requested
changes to the application form, but not the policy. In 2008 staff recommended changes in �he
fee structure to provide for an initial fee of$10,000 with an open-ended supplemental
applicatian fee, paid in increments af$5000, which the Commissioners approved. Staff
recommends continuing this fee structure.
Attachments
• Tax Increment Financing Policy as adopted by Resolution 06-03, April 11, 2006, with
application and fee changes (3 pages)
Recommended Action
Determine if changes to Tax Increment Financing Policy as adopted by Resolution 06-03, should
be considered by the HRA at its July, 2012 Meeting and direct staff as to the nature of the desired
changes.
If no changes are recommended, a motion to affirm the existing Tax Increment Financing Palicy
as set forth in Resalution 06-03 is in order.
GOLDEN YALLEY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
GOLDEN VALLEY, MINNESOTA
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING POLICY
REVISED: April 11, 2006
I. POLICY PURPOSE
For the purposes of this document, the term "HRA" shall include the Go/den Valley
Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
The purpose of this policy is to establish the position of the Golden Valley HRA relating
to the use of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) for private development above and beyond
the requirements and limitations set forth by State Law. This policy shall be used as a
guide in the processing and review of applications requesting tax increment assistance.
The fundamental purpose of tax increment financing in Golden Valley is to encourage
desirable development or redevelopment that would not otherwise occur but forthe
assistance provided through TIF.
Regardless of authorized expenditures under the law, it is the intent of the HRA to
provide the minimum amount of TIF at the shortest term required for the project to
proceed. The HRA reserves the right to approve or reject projects on a case by case
basis, taking into consideratian established policies, project criteria, and demand an city
services in relation to the potential benefits from the project. Meeting policy criteria does
not guarantee the award of TIF to the praject. Approval or denial af one project is not
intended to set precedent for approval or denial of another project.
II. OBJECTIVES OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
As a matter of adopted policy, the HRA will consider using TiF to assist private
development projects to achieve one or more of the following objectives:
A. To retain local jobs and/or increase the number and diversity of jobs that offer
stable employment and/ar livable wages and benefits.
B. To encourage additional unsubsidized private development in the area, either
directly or indirectly through "spin off" development.
C. To facilitate the development process and to achieve development on sites which
would not be developed without TIF assistance.
-1-
D. To remove blight and/or encourage redevelopment of commercial and industrial
areas in the city that result in high quality redevelopment and private
reinvestment.
E. To offset increased costs of redevelopment (i.e. contaminated site clean up) over
and above the costs normally incurred in development.
F. To create opportunities for affordable housing.
G. To contribute to the implementation of other public policies, as adopted by the
city from time to time, such as the promotion of quality urban or architectural
design, energy conservation, and decreasing capital and/or operating costs of
local government
H. Foster sustainable development and work ta establish a balance between urban
and natural systems. Encourage the application of green building and
infrastructure techniques. Examples include law-impact development that
maintains the natural functions af the land, reduces storm water runoff and
fosters resource conservation and the use of renewable systems in new
construction.
III. POLICIES FOR THE USE OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
A. The priority for the use of TIF funds is:
1. Public improvements, legal, administrative, and engineering costs.
2. Site preparation, site improvement, land purchase, soil correction,
environmental remediation and demolition.
3. Capitalized interest, bonding costs.
B. TIF assistance will be pravided to the developer upon receipt of the increment by
the City, otherwise referred to as the pay-as-yau-go method. Requests for up
front financing will be considered on a case by case basis.
C. A maximum of ten percent (10%) of any tax increment received from the district
shall be retained by the Gity to reimburse administrative costs.
, D. Any developer receiving TIF assistance shall provide an equity investment in the
project.
E. TIF will be used to purchase land and/or property anly at fair market value.
F. TIF shall not be used for projects that would place extraordinary demands on city
services or for projects that would generate significant environmental impacts.
-2-
G. The developer must provide adequate financial guarantees to ensure campletion
of the project, including, but nat limited to: assessment agreements, letters of
credit, personal guaranties, escrow deposits, etc.
H The developer shall adequately demonstrate, to the City's sole satisfaction, an
ability to complete the proposed project based on past development experience,
general reputation, and credit history, among other factors, including the size and
scope of the proposed project.
I. For the purposes of underwriting the propasal, the developer shall provide any
requested market, financial, environmental, or other data requested by the City or
its consultants.
IV. SUBSIDY AGREEMENT & REPORTING REQUlREMENTS
All developers/businesses receiving tax increment financing assistance from the Golden
Valley HRA shall be subject to the provisions and requirements set fiorth by state statute
116J.993 and summarized below.
A. All developers/businesses receiving TIF assistance shall enter into a subsidy
agreement with the Golden Valley HRA that identifies: the reason for the subsidy,
the public purpose served by the subsidy, and the goals for the subsidy, as well
as other criteria set forth by statute 116J.993.
