7. Winnetka and Medicine Lake Road Project Area - Liberty Crossing Project -Approval of
Amended Development Agreement and Interfund Loan
Prepared By
Marc Nevinski, Physical Development Director
Summary
The HRA is asked to consider approval of a new resolution and revised development agreement
with Liberty Crossing Investment Partners, LLC. A development agreement was approved by the
HRA in December of 2015, however, the developer was unable to close on private financing in
the time frame expected. The development agreement was not signed and the project did not
commence as anticipated, resulting in the need to revise the development agreement.
The developer proposes to construct 242 units of multi-family housing at the southeast corner of
Medicine Lake Road and Winnetka Avenue. The project will include 55 townhome units and 187
market rate apartment units, along with underground parking and a variety of amenities for
residents. Currently the site contains a vacant industrial building, car wash, restaurant, and a
multi-tenant building. In addition, the project will create additional flood storage of 5.4 acre feet
for the DeCola Ponds sub-watershed area to reduce flooding of streets, businesses, and
neighborhoods. The flood storage will be located at the intersection of Medicine Lake Road and
Rhode Island Avenue North and will consist of an open pond and underground vault. Two cul-de-
sacs will be constructed on Rhode Island Avenue to provide access to adjacent properties. A
portion of the existing Rhode Island Avenue roadway will be removed and used for a trail and
flood storage.
The parcels proposed for redevelopment were included in the Medicine Lake and Winnetka
Redevelopment Project Area by the HRA on July 14, 2015. The HRA and City Council established a
redevelopment TIF district in the area on September 1, 2015 to facilitate redevelopment and
make the construction of additional flood storage possible. Under the terms of this development
agreement, the HRA will incur debt to assist the developer and to fund construction of additional
flood storage. The new property taxes (e.g. the tax increment) generated by the development will
be used to repay debt. The HRA anticipates selling bonds and borrowing from internal funds to
fund the project, using TIF to reimburse the internal funds and pay off the bonds.
The resolution approves the revised development agreement and rescinds Resolution 15-07
which was adopted in December. The resolution also authorizes an interfund loan and loan
terms. A second interfund loan resolution will be necessary in the future as part of the project
financing package.
Development Agreement Summary
Highlights include:
1. Payment of$1 million to the developer for a flood storage easement, demolition, and
installation of utilities. Payment to occur within seven days of execution of the
agreement, including receipt in full amount of acceptable letters of credit. An internal
loan from the Storm Utility Fund with the HRA will finance the payment. The loan will be
paid back with TIF proceeds.
2. HRA/City to construct flood storage infrastructure with bond and internal loan proceeds.
This includes flood storage required to be constructed as a result of the development and
the additional flood storage.
3. The development agreement contains a minimum assessment agreement for each parcel
in the development to ensure a minimum tax value of the property sufficient to make
annual debt service payments. The assessment agreement is subject to the approval of
the County Assessor.
4. The developer will submit a letter of credit in the amount of$3.5 million sufficient to
cover the costs of public infrastructure and bond or debt issuance until the project is
completed. Additionally, the letter of credit required under the PUD Agreement will be
pledged to cover bond or debt issuance until the project is completed. It should be noted
that proceeds used from internal funds will not be fully secured by letters of credit.
Revisions to the development agreement include:
1. The developer will commence construction of the improvements by May 31, 2016.
Townhomes will be completed by June 30, 2017. The apartment will be completed by
October 31, 2017.
2. Flood mitigation improvements will be completed by the City by October 31, 2017.
3. Developer must close on its financing and deliver to the HRA all required securities by
May 1, 2016 or the development agreement will terminate.

Improvements, nothing contained in this Section or any other Section of this Agreement
shall be deemed to permit or authorize such Holder, either before or after foreclosure or
action in lieu thereof, to undertake or continue the construction or completion of the
Improvements (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect Improvements or
construction already made) for more than 90 days after the Holder has received notice
of such default pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, without first having expressly assumed
the obligation to the HRA, by written agreement reasonably satisfactory to the HRA, to
complete, in the manner provided in this Agreement and in conformance with the
Development Plans, the Improvements. If the Holder enters into an agreement
assuming the obligations of Developer under the Agreement, such agreement shall
provide that all obligations of the Holder thereunder shall terminate at such time as the
Holder assigns the Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1 of the
Agreement or in accordance with the following paragraph. Any Holder who shall
properly complete the Improvements shall be entitled, upon written request made to the
HRA, to a certification by the HRA to such effect in the manner provided in Section 4.3
of this Agreement.
In addition to the assignments permitted pursuant to Section 8.1 of the
Agreement, if the Holder of a First Mortgage acquires the interest of Developer under
the terms of the Agreement, the Holder shall be permitted to assign its interest in the
Agreement with the consent of HRA, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. In exercising its judgment as to whether or not to grant such consent, the
HRA shall take into account only the financial condition and experience of the proposed
assignee and its capacity to perform the obligations remaining to be performed under
the Agreement at the time of such assignment. In addition, the Holder may assign its
interest at any time without the consent of the HRA to a person with a verifiable net
15
worth in excess of $5,000,000. Any such assignee shall agree in writing with the HRA,
for itself and its successors and assigns, to be bound by the terms and conditions of the
Agreement, the Assessment Agreements, and the Plan, and not to transfer, mortgage
or otherwise convey any portion of the Development Property except as permitted in the
Agreement.
Section 7.4. HRA's Option to Cure Default on First Mortgage. Any First
Mortgage executed by Developer with respect to the Development Property, or any
improvements thereon, shall provide that, in the event that Developer is in default
thereunder, the mortgagee, within ten (10) days after it has declared or given notice to
Developer of a default, shall notify the HRA in writing of:
(a) the fact of the default;
(b) the elements of the default; and
(c) the actions required to cure the default.
The HRA shall have the right to cure any such default which occurs prior to
issuance of all of the Certificates of Completion. The HRA shall have a period of 45
days after notice from a Holder to any such default, cure, provided that the HRA gives
Developer advance written notice of its intent to cure. The Holder may exercise any of
its rights and remedies during the 45-day period which do not interFere with the HRA's
right to cure. In the event of such cure prior to issuance of the Certificates of
Completion, the HRA shall thereupon be entitled, in addition to and without limitation
upon any other rights or remedies to which it may be entitled, to reimbursement from
Developer or any successor or assignee of any reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the HRA in curing such default. Interest shall accrue on any amounts due
the HRA under this paragraph at the reference rate of interest then in effect at U.S.
Bank Minneapolis, N.A. until such amounts are paid, and such amounts shall result in
the creation of a lien on the Development Property in favor of the HRA, subordinate to
the lien of any First Mortgage.
Section 7.5 Subordinate Liens. Until all of the Certificates of Completion have
been issued, Developer agrees that it will not create, incur, assume or suffer any
security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, or encumbrance upon the
Development Property except for a First Mortgage permitted under this Article.
Developer may, at its own expense, in its own name and in good faith, contest any
involuntary lien, charge or encumbrance and not be in default hereunder provided
Developer first posts a bond or provides other security to the HRA or to the Holder, or to
an agent of the Holder, including, without limitation, a title insurance company, which
the HRA reasonably determines is adequate to protect the interest of the HRA.
Developer also agrees that this Agreement, the Assessment Agreements and the
Easement Agreement will be recorded before any First Mortgage or other mortgage
granted by Developer against the Development Property, and that any First Mortgage or
other mortgage granted by Developer against the Development Property prior to
16
recording this Agreement, the Assessment Agreements and the Easement Agreement
shall be released prior to recording this Agreement, the Assessment Agreements and
the Easement Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII

been issued by the HRA, this Agreement and Developer's interest in the Development
Property may not be sold, transferred or assigned by Developer without the prior written
consent of the HRA, which consent may be granted or withheld by the HRA in its sole
discretion.

to December 31, 2043, this Agreement and Developer's interest in the Housing Property

be of sufficient financial condition, experience, and reputation to perform fully under this
Agreement, and the purchaser first agrees in writing with the HRA, for itself and its
successors and assigns, to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
and not to sell, transfer, mortgage or otherwise assign any portion of the Housing
Property except as permitted herein. In that event, Developer shall be released from
any obligation or liability hereunder to the extent of the interest purchased and the
guarantor shall be released from his or its guaranty. After the Certificates of Completion
have been issued by the HRA, but prior to December 31, 2043, this Agreement and
Developer's interest in the Housing Property (or any part thereofl may be sold,
transferred or conveyed by Developer free of the foregoing conditions, but, in such
event, Developer shall remain primarily liable for performance of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement for the remainder of its term.
The Parties agree that the terms and conditions hereof run with the land and,
unless and until terminated by the terms of this Agreement, shall be binding upon their
successors and assigns.
Upon completion of each townhome, Developer may sell the townhome and the
purchaser shall take the townhome free of the obligations under this Agreement except
for the Assessment Agreement, provided that no Event of Default by Developer has
occurred and is then continuing.
Section 8.2 Indemnification. Developer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the HRA, and its officials, officers, employees and agents, against
any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, judgments, damages, penalties, costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of any wrongful actions or
omissions by Developer, its employees and agents, in connection with the Project,
except to the extent of any bad faith, gross negligence or intentional misconduct by the
17
HRA or other person seeking indemnification. This provision shall continue after the
termination of this Agreement.

result in a claim for indemnification under this Section, and cooperate with Developer in
defense of any such claim.

of the one-year warranty period, City agrees to perform a warranty
inspection of the subject landscape and plant materials. Within ten
additional days City will provide Developer with either a list of corrections
or final release documentation (provided by Developer) suitable for
releasing the 33% retainage. If corrections are required and upon notice
by Developer that the corrections have been made, the ten-day inspection
and ten-day notification or release will be followed. The City shall treat
any cash deposit under this Section as a separate account on its books
and the deposited funds shall be held, at the City's election, at the
Minnesota Municipal Money Market Fund or a depository institution
selected by the City in accordance with City policies and City Council
resolutions, in either event in account or fund type(s) selected by the City.
All account and fund fees and charges shall be paid from the deposit. All
interest accrued on any such deposit shall be reported under Developer's
tax identification number, shall be deemed part of the deposit made under
this Section, and shall only be disbursed to the Developer upon the
Developer being entitled to a full release of the entire deposit made under
this Section.

The Developer shall submit to the City a cash deposit or stand-by irrevocable
letter of credit in a form acceptable and issued by a local banking institution
acceptable to the City Attorney for the following:
a. $1,796,250 for the Public Improvements Constructed by Developer
("Security for Public Improvements Constructed by Developer"). This
letter of credit or cash deposit shall be reduced or released to the
Developer only upon the completion of the Improvements (as defined in
the HRA Development Agreement) and the issuance of the final Certificate
of Completion (as defined in the HRA Development Agreement) for the
G-9
Project; provided, however, if such final certificate is issued less than one
year after the City's final acceptance of the Public Improvements
Constructed by Developer, then in all events five percent (5%) of the
Security for Public Improvements Constructed by Developer will be
retained by the City for a full one-year warranty period following the City's
final acceptance of the Public Improvements Constructed by Developer.
Within thirty days after the notice by Developer of conclusion of the one-
year warranty period, City agrees to perform a warranty inspection of the
subject construction. Within ten additional days City will provide
Developer with either a list of corrections or final release documentation
(provided by Developer) suitable for releasing the 5% retainage. If
corrections are required and upon notice by Developer that the corrections
have been made, the ten-day inspection and ten-day notification or
release will be followed. The City shall treat any cash deposit under this
paragraph as a separate account on its books and the deposited funds
shall be held, at the City's election, at the Minnesota Municipal Money
Market Fund or a depository institution selected by the City in accordance
with City policies and City Council resolutions, in either event in account or
fund type(s) selected by the City. All account and fund fees and charges
shall be paid from the deposit. All interest accrued on any such deposit
shall be reported under Developer's tax identification number, shall be
deemed part of the deposit made under this paragraph, and shall only be
disbursed to the Developer upon the Developer being entitled to a full
release of the entire deposit made under this paragraph.
b. Developer shall submit a cash deposit (escrow) for construction
observation services in the amount of$100,000. When any amount
becomes due and payable for construction observation services, the City
shall deduct the amount from the deposit upon the City's receipt of
invoices for the same. After the payment of all such amounts, the City
shall refund to the Developer the balance of the deposit, if any. A letter of
credit may not be deposited for this financial security. The City shall treat
the cash deposit under this paragraph as a separate account on its books
and the deposited funds shall be held, at the City's election, at the
Minnesota Municipal Money Market Fund or a depository institution
selected by the City in accordance with City policies and City Council
resolutions, in either event in account or fund type(s) selected by the City.
All account and fund fees and charges shall be paid from the deposit. All
interest accrued on any such deposit shall be reported under Developer's
tax identification number, shall be deemed part of the deposit made under
this paragraph, and shall only be disbursed to the Developer upon the
Developer being entitled to a full release of the entire deposit made under
this paragraph.
In the event the Developer provides a letter of credit pursuant to any of the
foregoing provisions of this Agreement, it shall concurrently therewith
deliver to the City an executed letter-of-credit deposit agreement in form
G-10
and substance acceptable to the City. If the event the Developer elects to
satisfy more than one of the security deposit requirements under this
Agreement by depositing letters of credit (to the extent the Agreement
permits letters of credit to satisfy deposit requirements), the Developer
may satisfy such requirements by depositing a single letter of credit,
provided the initial stated amount of such single letter of credit equals the
total cumulative amount of the required security deposits that are being
satisfied with the single letter of credit.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and the HRA
Development Agreement, this Agreement and the HRA Development
Agreement shall automatically terminate on May 1, 2016, if Developer
has not closed on the financing required for it to complete the Project and
delivered to the HRA and the City all of the letters of credit and cash
deposits required under this Agreement and the HRA Development
Agreement by that date, provided, however, that such termination shall not
release Developer from its obligation to pay the City any money then owed
by Developer under any agreement with the HRA or the City, and such
termination shall not limit any claim any party has for a breach of this
Agreement or the HRA Development Agreement by any other party that
occurred prior to the date of such termination.
If the City incurs any expenses or costs as a result of an Event of Default
(defined below), the City may draw upon any securities then on deposit
with the City in an amount necessary to pay or reimburse the City for any
such expenses or costs incurred by the City as a result of such Event of
Default, in accordance with this Agreement. To the extent the securities on
deposit are insufficient to pay any such expenses or costs, the Developer
will be responsible for the payment of such expenses or costs and the City
will bill the Developer for such expenses or costs as they occur, in
accordance with this Agreement. The City's rights with respect to any
letter-of-credit or cash deposit provided hereunder shall not limit any other
remedy to which the City is entitled under this Agreement or at law or
equity, except to the extent that the City damages are reduced by its
recovery from the securities on deposit. If after an Event of Default, all of
the Developer's obligations hereunder are completed by the Developer in
accordance with this Agreement (or by the City acting on the Developer's
behalf in accordance with this Agreement) and all Event(s) of Default have
been cured, then the City shall release all remaining securities on deposit
to the Developer in the manner set forth in this Agreement.
13. Developer's Default. Upon an Event of Default (defined below), the City shall be
entitled to all the remedies permitted by law or equity. Without limiting the
foregoing, with respect to an Event of Default by the Developer as to any of the
work to be performed by it hereunder, the City may, at its option, perform the
work and the Developer shall promptly reimburse the City for any expense
incurred by the City, provided the Developer is first given notice of the work in
G-11
default, not less than five (5) days in advance, provided such five (5) day
advance notice period shall be shortened in the event the City needs to take
earlier action to protect public safety or is otherwise authorized to act with
respect to the Subject Property under applicable law before the expiration of
such five (5) day period. The Developer grants the City full authority and a
license to act as set forth in the previous sentence following an Event of Default,
and it shall not be necessary for the City to seek a court order for permission to
enter the land. When the City does any such work, the City may, in addition to its
other remedies, levy the cost in whole or in part as a special assessment against
the Subject Property. The Developer waives its right to notice of hearing and
hearing on such assessments and waives the right to appeal such assessments
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.081. The following shall be an
"Event of Default" under this Agreement: (i) the failure by the Developer to pay
when due and invoiced the amounts required to be paid by Developer under any
provision of this Agreement and such failure continues for a period of sixty (60)
days following written notice from the City to Developer; or (ii) failure by the
Developer to observe and perform any covenant, condition or obligation on its
part to be observed or performed under this Agreement and such failure
continues for a period of sixty (60) days following written notice from the City to
Developer; provided the Developer's obligation to deposit and maintain securities
with the City under Sections 11 and 12 of this Agreement shall not be subject to
any such notice and cure period.
14. Responsibilitv for Costs.
a. Except as otherwise specified herein, the Developer shall pay all
documented costs incurred by it or the City in conjunction with the
approval of the PUD and ensuring compliance with the Final Plans,
including but not limited to reasonable legal, planning, engineering and
inspection fees and expenses incurred in connection with approval and
acceptance of the PUD, the preparation of this Agreement and other legal
documents, and all reasonable costs, expenses, legal, engineering and
planning fees incurred by the City in reviewing the application and related
documents, and in monitoring and inspecting the progress of the Project.
b. The Developer shall indemnify and hold the City and its officers,
employees and agents harmless from claims for damages sustained or
costs directly incurred resulting from development of the Project,
construction and operation, except for such damages or costs resulting
from the gross negligence, intentional misconduct or intentional violation
of this Agreement or applicable laws and ordinance by the City, or its
officers, agents or employees.
c. The Developer shall reimburse the City for reasonable costs incurred in
the enforcement of Developer's obligations under this Agreement,
including engineering, building official, planning and attorney's fees, and
for the City's performance of Developer's obligations under this
Agreement in the event that the Developer fails to commence or complete
such obligations on a timely basis or as otherwise required herein.
G-12
d. The Developer shall pay in full all documented bills submitted to it by the
City for obligations properly incurred under this Agreement within sixty
(60) days after receipt; if the bills are not paid on time, the City may halt all
development work and construction on the Property until the bills are paid
in full, and may draw on any of the security deposited hereunder to
discharge such obligations. Bills not paid within sixty (60) days shall
accrue interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per year.
15. Failure to Pav. In addition to any other remedies permitted by law, in the event
the Developer fails to pay any amount payable to the City hereunder when due
following the expiration of applicable cure periods as set forth in this Agreement,
the City may charge such amount, in whole or in part, as a special assessment
against the Subject Property.
16. Miscellaneous.
a. The Developer represents to the City that, to the best of Developer's
knowledge, the development of the Subject Property as contemplated
herein complies with all City, county, metropolitan, state and federal laws
and regulations including, but not limited to: subdivision ordinances,
zoning ordinances and environmental regulations.
b. Third parties shall have no recourse against the City under this
Agreement.
c. In addition to any other remedies available to the City, the existence and
continuance of any breach of any term of this Agreement by the Developer
shall be grounds for denial of building permits, including for any portion of
the Subject Property sold to third parties.
d. If any portion, section, subsection, sentence, clause, paragraph or phase
of this Agreement is for any reason held invalid, such decision shall not
affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Agreement.
e. The action or inaction of the City shall not constitute a waiver or
amendment to the provisions of this Agreement. To be binding,
amendments or waivers shall be in writing, signed by the parties and
approved by written resolution of the City Council. The City's failure to
promptly take legal action to enforce this Agreement shall not be a waiver
or release.
f. This Agreement, any amendments hereto, and conditions of the
Ordinance are binding on all successors and assigns of the Developer,
shall run with the land and shall be recorded against the title to the Subject
Property. This Agreement must be recorded in the appropriate Hennepin
County land records at the expense of the Developer and a copy of the
recorded executed Agreement provided by the Developer to the City. This
Agreement shall have priority over all mortgage liens to which the Subject
Property may be subject. The Developer shall provide evidence
satisfactory to the City that, when this Agreement is recorded, it is prior to
all mortgage liens to which the Subject Property may be subject. In the
event there are any mortgage liens having priority over this Agreement,
G-13
the City shall require the Developer to obtain an acceptable subordination
agreement from the holders of the applicable mortgage liens, the City's
acceptance of such subordination agreement not to be unreasonably
withheld or denied.
g. Developer, its successors and assigns, agree to provide the execution of
amendments to this Agreement, as are necessary to effect the recording
and priority hereof. After the Developer has completed all the work and
obligations required of it under this Agreement, at the Developer's request,
the City will execute and deliver a release to the Developer as for the
obligations related to such work.
h. Each right, power or remedy herein conferred upon the City is cumulative
and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied,
now or hereafter arising, available to the City, at law or in equity, or under
any other agreement, and each and every right, power and remedy herein
set forth or otherwise so existing may be exercised from time to time as
often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the City and shall
not be a waiver of the right to exercise at any time thereafter any other
right, power or remedy.
i. Developer may not assign this Agreement, and the Developer's rights and
obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned, without the written
permission of the City, which permission will not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned. The City agrees it will consent to an
assignment of the Developer's rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including an assignment by operation of law, foreclosure, or deed in lieu
of foreclosure) to an assignee that has acquired and assumed all of the
Developer's rights and obligations under the HRA Development
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of the HRA
Development Agreement, provided such assignee shall also assume all of
the Developer's rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to
an assumption agreement reasonably acceptable in form and substance
to the City.
j. The Developer represents to the City that , with respect to itself(and with
respect to thirds parties, to its actual knowledge,) no material
misrepresentations have been or will be made, nor has any materially
inaccurate information was or will be provided to the City by the Developer
during the City's review process of the PUD application or the Project.
k. Nofinrithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the full
extent permitted by State laws, any further development or construction of
new improvements and any additions or alterations to existing
improvements not expressly approved under this Agreement will require
additional approvals from the City, as required by City ordinances, and in
full compliance with any amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan or
Zoning Ordinance requirements enacted after the date of this Agreement.
