CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: MAY 11, 2015
AGENDA#: 9A
PREPARED BY: DAN ROGNESS, COMMUNITY& ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
PRESENTED BY: DAN ROGNESS
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION
OF A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH PRIOR LAKE LEASED HOUS-
ING ASSOCIATES FOR GATEWAY REDEVELOPMENT
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of a Development Agree-
ment with Prior Lake Leased Housing Associates I, LLP for Dominium's Gateway
Center redevelopment housing project. This agreement specifies the public fi-
nancing assistance in the form of tax increment financing and a direct payment
from the developer's park dedication fee. This action follows the City Council's
earlier approval of: (1) modifying the existing Municipal Development District No.
1; (2) establishing TIF District No. 1-5; and (3) approving a TIF Plan.
History
On March 9, the City Council adopted resolutions amending the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan to R-HD Residential Urban High Density and approving a Prelim-
inary PUD Plan; it also approved an ordinance rezoning the property to PUD. On
April 13, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the Final PUD Plan and
PUD Agreement. Dominium applied for public financing assistance in the form
of Tax Increment Financing (TIF), waiver of city fees, and City Revenue Conduit
Bond financing. Now, a public hearing is being held by the Council on May 11 to
consider the public financing proposals for TIF and Bond assistance. As part of
the full approval process, the City must approve a Development Agreement with
Prior Lake Leased Housing Associates I, LLP (Dominium).
Current Circumstances
The proposed Development Agreement establishes the responsibilities of the de-
veloper and the city. Key elements of this agreement include:
1. Tax increments will be provided to the developer in the form of a Pay-as-
you-go Note; this allows the city to reimburse the developer for eligible
project cost from the property tax proceeds that are received annually up
to the maximum principal amount in the Note. The city will retain 5% of
the annual increment for administrative costs.
2. The TIF Note has a total principal value of$1,637,000 with an interest rate
of 3.0%; the maximum term of the Note is 20 years. The current financial
analysis shows the Note being fully paid in the 19th year(unless TIF pool-
ing from Shepherd's Path is later approved by the City Council)
3. Once 25% of the project is completed, the City will reimburse the devel-
oper$187,500,which will come from an internal loan from the Park Fund's
additional revenue from this project of$637,500.
4. The developer must construct a 170-unit multifamily senior housing pro-
ject on the redevelopment site.
5. With the Housing TIF District, the developer will be required to have at
least 20% of the housing units (34) affordable to households with incomes
at/below 50% of the Area Median Income, adjusted by HUD annually.
6. The developer agrees to pay annual property taxes promptly.
At the April 20th EDA meeting, a unanimous vote (4-0) recommended public fi-
nancing assistance for the Dominium redevelopment project as proposed by
staff. In addition, the EDA discussed and recommended a business financing
program for potential assistance that would support the move of three businesses
in the Gateway Center (McGeez Closet, Pizza & Pasta, and Prior Lake Shoe
Service)to move to other commercial property in Prior Lake. That recommended
program is provided in a separate agenda item under New Business.
Conclusion
Staff and the City's consultants, including Northland Securities (financial) and
Briggs & Morgan (legal) have evaluated this agreement based upon what is ben-
eficial to the City and to Dominium. All financial and legal consulting costs asso-
ciated with this agreement are being paid by Dominium.
ISSUES: Staff has worked closely with Dominium staff to develop this final proposal. The
City will see the following benefits from the Dominium redevelopment project:
• An underutilized commercial area will be redeveloped into a new use,
which may also spur other improvements in the Gateway area.
• The market value of the property will increase ten-fold to $17 million.
• After the TIF District is complete within 15-20 years, an estimated total
property tax revenue will be over $150,000 annually to be divided by the
taxing jurisdictions.
• Affordable high-quality housing will be available to the growing senior
population in and around Prior Lake.
• This project will help the city achieve its affordable and life-cycle housing
goals identified in the Comprehensive Plan.
• Single family housing being vacated by seniors for this rental option will
make more affordable housing available to families.
• The city's Park Fund will see a net revenue gain of$450,000 for city park
improvements.
• The city's sewer and water trunk funds will see an estimated net revenue
gain of$297,500 in 2015.
• The city's Building Inspection division will see a gain of permit revenue of
nearly $117,500 in 2015.
• A high level of construction jobs will be in Prior Lake for this project within
an estimated 14-month timeframe.

7038763v1
ARTICLE III.
UNDERTAKINGS BY DEVELOPER AND CITY
Section 3.1 Site Improvements. The costs of the Site Improvements shall be paid by
the Developer. The City shall reimburse the Developer for the lesser of$1,637,000 or the costs of
the Site Improvements actually paid by the Developer(the "Reimbursement Amount") as further
provided in Section 3.2 hereof. Upon completion of 25% of the Project, the City will reimburse
the Developer the sum of$187,500 for costs of the Project upon submission by the Developer of
paid invoices totaling such amount.
Section 3.2 Reimbursement: Tax Increment Revenue Note. The City shall reimburse
the Developer the Reimbursement Amount identified in Section 3.1 through the issuance of the
City's Tax Increment Revenue Note in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit
B, subject to the following conditions:
(1) The Note shall be dated, issued and delivered as of the date of execution of this
Agreement. The Developer shall submit paid invoices for Site Improvements in an amount not
less than the Reimbursement Amount.
(2) The unpaid principal amount of the Note shall bear simple, non-compounding
interest from the date that the City has determined the paid invoices are in compliance with the
terms of the Development Agreement, at 3% per annum. Interest shall be computed on the basis
of a 360 day year consisting of twelve (12) 30-day months.
(3) The principal amount of the Note and the interest thereon shall be payable solely
from the Tax Increments.
(4) On each Note Payment Date and subject to the provisions of the Note and Section
3.3, the City shall pay, against the principal and interest outstanding on the Note, Tax Increments
received by the City during the preceding 6 months. All such payments shall be applied first to
accrued interest and then to reduce the principal of the Note.
(5) The Note shall be a special and limited obligation of the City and not a general
obligation of the City, and only Tax Increments shall be used to pay the principal and interest on
the Note. If, on any Note Payment Date, the Tax Increments for the payment of the accrued and
unpaid interest on the Note are insufficient for such purposes, the difference shall be carried
forward, without interest accruing thereon, and shall be paid if and to the extent that on a future
Note Payment Date there are Tax Increments in excess of the amounts needed to pay the accrued
interest then due on the Note.
(6) The City's obligation to make payments on the Note on any Note Payment Date or
any date thereafter shall be conditioned upon the requirement that (A) there shall not at that time
be an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement and (B) this
Agreement shall not have been rescinded pursuant to Section 4.2(b).
(7) The Note shall be governed by and payable pursuant to the additional terms thereof,
as set forth in Exhibit B. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Note and the terms
7
7038763v1
of this Section 3.2, the terms of the Note shall govern. The issuance of the Note pursuant and
subject to the terms of this Agreement, and the taking by the City of such additional actions as
bond counsel for the Note may require in connection therewith, are hereby authorized and
approved by the City.
Section 3.3 Execution of Assessment Agreement; Market Value.
(1) Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Developer and the City
shall execute an Assessment Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.177, Subdivision 8, specifying the Assessor's Minimum Market Value for the Development
Property and the Project for calculation of real property taxes. Specifically, the Developer shall
agree to a market value for the Development Property and the Project which will result in a market
value as of January 2, 2016 of not less than$ until the Termination Date(such
minimum market value at the time applicable is herein referred to as the "Assessor's Minimum
Market Value"). Nothing in the Assessment Agreement shall limit the discretion of the Assessor
to assign a market value to the property in excess of such Assessor's Minimum Market Value nor
prohibit the Developer from seeking through the exercise of legal or administrative remedies a
reduction in such market value for property tax purposes, provided however, that the Developer
shall not seek a reduction of such market value below the Assessor's Minimum Market Value in
any year so long as the Assessment Agreement shall remain in effect. The Assessment Agreement
shall remain in effect until the Termination Date. The Assessment Agreement shall be certified
by the Assessor for the County as provided in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subdivision
8, upon a finding by the Assessor that the Assessor's Minimum Market Value represents a
reasonable estimate based upon the plans and specifications for the Project to be constructed on
the Development Property and the market value previously assigned to the Development Property.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subdivision 8,the Assessment Agreement shall
be filed for record in the office of the county recorder or registrar of titles of Scott County, and
such filing shall constitute notice to any subsequent encumbrancer or purchaser of the
Development Property (or part thereof), whether voluntary or involuntary, and such Assessment
Agreement shall be binding and enforceable in its entirety against any such subsequent purchaser
or encumbrancer, including the holder of any mortgage recorded against the Development
Property.
(2) Notwithstanding the previous paragraph,the Developer will not seek a reduction in
the Market Value (as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.02) for the tax collection years
of 2032 through 2036. In the event that the Developer obtains a reduction in Market Value that
results in the City having to make a payment to the County (the "County Payment") for the tax
collection years of 2017 through 2031,the Developer agrees that:
(a) If the TIF Note remains outstanding, the next Tax Increments to be paid to
the Developer shall be reduced by the County Payment, and
(b) If the TIF Note is no longer outstanding, Developer shall pay the amount of
the County Payment to the City within thirty (30) days after written notice from the City
as to the amount of the County Payment.
Section 3.4 Compliance with Low and Moderate Income Requirements.
8
7038763v1
(1) The City and the Developer understand and agree that the Tax Increment District

Accordingly, in compliance with Section 469.1761, Subd. 3 of the Tax Increment Act, the
Developer agrees that the Project must satisfy,or be treated as satisfying,the income requirements
for a qualified residential rental project as defined in Section 142(d)of the Internal Revenue Code.
The parties further agree that no more than 20%of the square footage of the Project(which is the
only building receiving assistance from Tax Increments) may consist of commercial, retail, or
other nonresidential uses. The Developer must meet the above requirements as follows:
(a) At least 20% of the residential units in the Project must be occupied or
available for occupancy by persons whose incomes do not exceed 50% of the County

(b) The limits described in clause (A) must be satisfied commencing with the
date on which at least 10% of the units in the Project are occupied and continuing through
the Termination Date. Income for occupants of units described in clause (A) shall be
adjusted for family size in accordance with Section 142(d) of the Internal Revenue Code
and related regulations.
(2) On or before each January 1 and July 1,commencing on July 1,2017,the Developer
or an agent of the Developer must deliver or cause to be delivered to the City a Compliance
Certificate executed by the Developer covering the preceding six months together with written
evidence satisfactory to the City of compliance with the covenants in this Section. This evidence
must include a statement of the household income of each of qualifying renter, a written
determination that each qualifying renter's household income falls within the qualifying limits of
this Section (and Section 142(d) of the Internal Revenue Code), and certification that the income
documentation is correct and accurate (and that the determination of qualification was made in
compliance with Section 142(d) of the Internal Revenue Code). The City may review, upon
request, all documentation supporting the Developer submissions and statements. In determining
compliance with this Section, the Developer must use the County median incomes for the year in
which the payment is due on the TIF Note, as promulgated by the Minnesota Housing Finance
Agency based on the area median incomes established by the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development.
Section 3.5 Real Property Taxes. Prior to the Termination Date, the Developer shall
pay all real property taxes payable with respect to all and any parts of the Development Property
acquired and owned by it and pursuant to the provisions of the Assessment Agreement until the
Developer's obligations have been assumed by any other person pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement or title to the Development Property is vested in another person.
The Developer agrees that prior to the Termination Date:
(1) It will not seek administrative review or judicial review of the applicability of any
tax statute relating to the ad valorem property taxation of real property contained on the
Development Property determined by any tax official to be applicable to the Project or the
Developer or raise the inapplicability of any such tax statute as a defense in any proceedings with
9
7038763v1
respect to the Development Property, including delinquent tax proceedings; provided, however,
"tax statute" does not include any local ordinance or resolution levying a tax;
(2) It will not seek administrative review or judicial review of the constitutionality of
any tax statute relating to the taxation of real property contained on the Development Property
determined by any tax official to be applicable to the Project or the Developer or raise the
unconstitutionality of any such tax statute as a defense in any proceedings, including delinquent
tax proceedings with respect to the Development Property; provided, however, "tax statute" does
not include any local ordinance or resolution levying a tax;
(3) It will not seek any tax deferral or abatement, either presently or prospectively
authorized under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.1813, or any other State or federal law, of the
ad valorem property taxation of the Development Property between the date of execution of this
Agreement and the Termination Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 3.5 shall be interpreted to limit the
Developer's rights under Section 3.3.
10
