ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. HRA 2013-05 CERTIFYING THE 2014 HRA PROPERTY TAX LEVY TO BE $200,000 AND APPROVING THE 2014 HRA BUDGET OF $200,000 Getschow said the HRA approved the proposed 2013 HRA property tax levy and budget on September 3, 2013. Also on September 3, 2013, the Eden Prairie City Council adopted resolutions consenting and approving the proposed 2013 HRA property tax levy. Minnesota Law authorizes the HRA to levy a tax with the consent of the City Council. He noted the amount of the HRA levy has been set at $200,000 for more than ten years.

Aho said he just wanted people to know we are definitely not taxing at the maximum level. MOTION: Butcher Wickstrom moved, seconded by Nelson, to adopt Resolution HRA No. 2013-05 to approve the proposed 2014 property tax levy to be $200,000 and to accept the proposed 2014 budget of $200,000.

HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AGENDA

DATE: July 14, 2014

DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: Community Development: Janet Jeremiah, David Lindahl, Molly Koivumaki

ITEM DESCRIPTION: HRA ITEM NO: III. Public Hearing to approve Eden Gardens housing project and housing agreement, set income and price requirements, and approve the purchase and sale of the property at the southwest corner of Scenic Heights Road and Eden Prairie

Requested Action: Move to: • Close the public hearing; and • Adopt the Resolution determining to carry out a Housing Development Project (the “Project”), identifying the project area and adopting findings; and • Adopt the Resolution approving purchase and sale of the project area and establishing terms and conditions for the Project; and • Authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the Purchase Agreement, Housing Project Agreement and such other documents as are necessary to consummate the transaction. Synopsis: The Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie (the “HRA”) is considering the purchase of an approximately 8.4 acre parcel from MnDOT for $900,000 and immediately selling the same parcel to Eden Gardens, LLCs for $950,000 for the Eden Gardens Green Mid-Market single-family housing development. The parcel is located at the southwest corner of Eden Prairie Road and Scenic Heights Road. The $50,000 difference between the HRA purchase price and the price at which the property will be sold to the Developer will be used to cover various costs incurred by the City. Minnesota Statutes Chapter 469.001 to 469.047 (the “HRA Statute”) provides authority for the HRA to undertake the Project to provide affordable housing for persons of moderate income and their families. A Purchase Agreement and Housing Project Agreement establish specific requirements of the Developer. Background: The Strategic Plan for Housing and Economic Development, adopted by the City Council in October, 2012, included a course of action for establishing a Green, Mid-Market neighborhood at the southwest corner of Scenic Heights Road and Eden Prairie Road. The Project accomplishes the City Council’s goal and meets the following purposes identified in MS §469.001: 1) to provide a sufficient supply of adequate, safe, and sanitary dwellings in order to protect the health, safety, morals, and welfare of the citizens of this state; and 2) to remedy the shortage of housing for moderate income residents. The HRA Statute states that public participation in activities intended to meet the purposes of sections 469.001 to 469.047 and the exercise of powers confined by sections 469.001 to 469.047 are public uses and purposes for which private property may be acquired and public money spent.

The parcel is currently owned by MnDOT and is left over from construction of Highway 212. The goal is to create an environmentally sustainable single family neighborhood with a majority of homes sold to qualified buyers at moderate income price ranges. In April, 2013, the City held a neighborhood meeting for initial feedback and then released a Request for Proposals seeking a developer for this Project. Following a thorough review of four submittals (one incomplete), the Eden Garden proposal by Homestead Partners (now Eden Gardens, LLC) was selected by the City Council in August, 2013. The Eden Gardens proposal has consistently included 36 singlefamily homes which will all be Green Path certified and a common open space with community gardens and other amenities. Additional neighborhood meetings and public hearings to gain feedback on the specific design and potential neighborhood impacts have resulted in certain plan amendments and traffic mitigation to address neighborhood ideas and concerns. MnDOT’s original appraisal indicated a property value of $950,000. Staff requested and received a reduction in the price to $900,000 due to the need for approximately $50,000 of unanticipated soil correction costs. The HRA will sell the property to Eden Gardens, LLC for $950,000. The $950,000 price constitutes a reduction in Eden Gardens, LLC’s original offer to the City as the Developer will be responsible for the unanticipated soil correction costs as well as other matters. The HRA will use the $50,000 difference between the purchase and sale price to cover City/HRA closing, legal, financial consultant review, and development review costs (including a noise study and Planning staff time). The City hired an independent consultant to review Eden Gardens, LLC’s pro-forma to ensure that its anticipated costs and profit are within industry standards. The review indicated that its anticipated costs are within standards and its profit margin will be low by industry standards. Eden Gardens, LLC must provide proof of financing for the Project prior to closing. The closing will be simultaneous with the City’s purchase of the property from MnDOT. Preference for all home types will be given to buyers who currently live or work in Eden Prairie. To accommodate life-cycle housing, floor plans will include a one-level living option. Sixteen (16) units will be sold at market-rate. This is necessary in order to achieve the goal of providing housing affordable to moderate income homebuyers at an affordable price and to avoid the need for a public cash subsidy for the Project. Twenty (20) of the housing units will be sold only to moderate income homebuyers. Moderate income eligibility is defined as 80-120% of the Area Median Income (“AMI”) or $66,320 - $99,480 with the AMI at $82,900 for homes sold in 2014. This number is adjusted annually by HUD, however the adjustments are generally minor and the AMI remains fairly consistent from year to year. Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) annually determines the home cost or loan limits for the 11 County metro area based upon the moderate income range, which is currently $248,000 - $372,000 with the median home cost at $310,000. In order to carry out this Project without a cash subsidy and provide the twenty (20) units for moderate income homebuyers, the actual price ranges of the mid-market homes are anticipated to be in the $330,000-$360,000 range and will therefore likely only be accessible to the upper 20-25% of the income eligibility range. Income eligibility will be overseen by staff in the office of Housing & Community Services, using an application and income verification system that is consistent with the City’s current Housing Rehabilitation and First Time Homebuyer programs. The Developer has and will continue to involve Hennepin Technical College in the development process. Specifically, the Developer will involve students in opportunities such as framing a home,

learning how “green” mechanical/electrical systems work and learning green techniques used in stormwater management. The Developer will construct the Project in a manner that meets specified Green standards according to the final PUD plans and development approval by the City. All homes will be Green Path certified and include solar options, green and energy efficient construction, water efficiency, and low-mow grass lawns. The neighborhood will include community gardens, a shelter with a green roof and solar panels, rain gardens, walkable streets, solar sidewalk lighting, and primarily native landscaping that requires minimal water and mowing. Prior to closing on homes to individual buyers, the Developer must complete all common infrastructure improvements and amenities (including, but not limited to the alleys, streets, sanitary sewer, water, shelter, tot lot, and storm sewer). Park dedication fees for moderate income buyers will be deferred and will be waived entirely if the housing unit remains owned by a qualified moderate income buyer for 10 years. If any moderate income housing unit is resold within 10 years to a buyer who does not meet moderate income eligibility requirements, the seller or buyer must pay the deferred park dedication fee. The amount of park dedication is fixed at the 2014 rate. Further after the initial sale of a moderate income unit by the Developer, the seller of a unit to a buyer who does not meet moderate income eligibility requirements must remit a portion of the profit received by the seller in that transaction to the City for reinvestment in low and moderate income housing initiatives. Both look back requirements will end ten years after the date of the initial purchase of the housing unit from the Developer. Attachments: Resolutions Purchase Agreement Housing Project Agreement

6.

Moderate Income Limits. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development annually determines the area median income for Hennepin County (“Area Median Income”). The Area Median Income is published annually in December for use in the following year. The HRA hereby determines that the moderate income limits for the Project (the “Moderate Income Limits”) shall be 80% to 120% of the Area Median Income. (For example, the Area Median Income for Hennepin County published in December 2013 for use in the year 2014 was $82,900. The moderate income limits for all Moderate Income Units sold in 2014 is $66,320 to $99,480.)

7.

Affordable Housing Prices. Based upon the Area Median Income the Minnesota Housing Finance Authority annually sets a loan limit for the 11-County Metro (“Area Affordable Price”). The Area Affordable Price is published in December for use in the following year. For purposes hereof, the affordable housing prices for persons of moderate income for the Project shall be 80% to 120% of the Area Affordable Price (the “Affordable Housing Prices”) (For example, the Area Affordable Price published in December 2013 for use in the year 2014 was $310,000. Consequently, the Affordable Housing Prices for all Moderate Income Units sold in 2014 is $248,000 to $372,000.)

EXHIBIT D TO PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Housing Project Agreement HOUSING PROJECT AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT, made as of the 14th day of July, 2014, by and between the Housing Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, a municipal corporation and political subdivision organized and existing under the Constitution and the laws of the State of Minnesota (the "HRA") and Eden Gardens, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (the "Developer"), WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, pursuant to Minn. Stat. 469.017, the HRA has the authority to complete a housing development project; WHEREAS, the HRA adopted H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-01 at a duly noticed meeting on July 14, 2014. In H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-01 the HRA found that there is a shortage of decent, safe, and sanitary housing for persons of moderate income and their families in the City and determined to carry out a housing development project to partially alleviate the shortage (the “Project”); WHEREAS, the property on which the Project will be constructed is located at the southwest corner of Eden Prairie Road and Scenic Heights Road as illustrated on attached Exhibit A (“Project Area”) and is legally described on attached Exhibit B. WHEREAS, the goals for the Project are to increase environmental sustainability/energy efficiency and single family housing affordability for moderate income individuals and their families. The intent of the Project is to create an environmentally sustainable single family neighborhood with implementation of “green” measures with 20 of the housing units to be sold to people with moderate incomes as defined below; WHEREAS, in order to ensure that the housing development project partially alleviates the shortage of moderate income housing, the HRA in H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-01 established moderate income and affordability limits for the Project; WHEREAS, based on evidence presented by developers who responded to the Project Request for Proposals, in order to make the Project feasible and to provide the desired moderate income housing, the HRA has determined that 16 of the housing units in the Project may be sold at market rates. The market rate housing units shall be located on Lot 1, Block 1 and Lots 1-15, Block 5, Eden Gardens. The remaining 20 housing units (collectively the “Moderate Income Units”) must be sold to people with incomes that fall within the range of the “Moderate Income Limits” (as defined below in Paragraph 1.B hereof) and at prices that fall within the range of “Affordable Housing Prices” (as defined below in Paragraph 1.C hereof), that are applicable at the time of such sale. The Moderate Income Units shall be located on Lots 1-5, Block 2, Lots 15, Block 3, and Lots 1-10, Block 4, Eden Gardens; and

27

WHEREAS, the HRA adopted H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-02 at a duly noticed public hearing on July 14, 2014. In H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-02 the HRA approved the purchase and sale of the Project Area; set the estimated market value of the Project Area; and selected Developer to complete the Project subject to the condition that Developer and HRA enter into this Housing Project Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual obligations of the parties hereto, each of them does hereby covenant and agree with the other as follows: 1. Housing Criteria. The Project shall consist of 36 single family units. Twenty units shall be Moderate Income Units. The remaining 16 units may be sold at market rates. The size of the 20 Moderate Income Units shall range between 1600 and 2200 square feet above grade and the 16 market rate units shall range between 1600 and 2600 square feet above grade. Floor plans available for potential buyers shall include a one-level living floor plan option. The 20 Moderate Income Units shall be priced and sold based on the following calculations: A.

Project Feasibility. Based on evidence presented by developers who responded to the Project Request for Proposals, in order to make the Project feasible and to provide the desired moderate income housing, 16 of the housing units in the Project may be sold at market rates. The market rate units shall be built on Blocks 1 and 5 as shown on the Preliminary Plat of Eden Gardens. The 20 Moderate Income Units must be sold: (i) to people who qualify under the Moderate Income Limits set forth below in B; and (ii) at the Affordable Housing Prices set forth below in C.

B.

Moderate Income Limits. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development annually determines the area median income for Hennepin County (“Area Median Income”). The Area Median Income is published annually in December for use in the following year. The HRA hereby determines that the moderate income limits for the Project (the “Moderate Income Limits”) shall be 80% to 120% of the Area Median Income. (For example, the Area Median Income for Hennepin County published in December 2013 for use in the year 2014 was $82,900. The moderate income limits for all Moderate Income Units sold in 2014 is $66,320 to $99,480.)

C.

Affordable Housing Prices. Based upon the Area Median Income the Minnesota Housing Finance Authority annually sets a loan limit for the 11-County Metro (“Area Affordable Price”). The Area Affordable Price is published in December for use in the following year. For purposes hereof, the affordable housing prices for persons of moderate income for the Project shall be 80% to 120% of the Area Affordable Price (the “Affordable Housing Prices”) (For example, the Area Affordable Price published in December 2013 for use in the year 2014 was $310,000. Consequently, the Affordable Housing Prices for all Moderate Income Units sold in 2014 is $248,000 to $372,000.)

28

2. Minnesota’s Green Path Development Standards. The Developer shall construct the Project in a manner that meets Minnesota’s Green Path (“Green Path”) standards as required in the attached as Exhibit C. 3. Community Involvement. The Developer shall engage the community by involving Hennepin Technical College. Specifically, the Developer shall involve students through opportunities such as framing a home, learning how ‘green’ mechanical/electrical systems work or learning green techniques used in stormwater management. 4. Sale of the Project Area. For purposes of this Agreement, “sale” includes any transfer of a housing unit including but not limited to sale, conveyance, gift, and involuntary transfer. The Developer may not close on the sale of any Moderate Income Unit unless all of the following conditions have been met: A.

All infrastructure including streets, sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer, but not including landscaping and the final wear course on streets and other items that cannot reasonably be completed due to winter weather conditions and that do not materially affect the use or function of such items of infrastructure, are substantially complete and accepted in writing by the City;

B.

All public space including common areas, parks and community buildings are complete and accepted in writing by the HRA;

C.

The residential structure on the lot to be sold has been issued a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy; and

D.

The sale has been approved in writing by the HRA prior to closing in order to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In order to request such approval for the sale of each Moderate Income Unit, Developer, or any subsequent owner that is selling a Moderate Income Unit, shall submit a complete application to the HRA for the sale of each Moderate Income Unit in such form and substances as required by the HRA, which shall include at a minimum all information required by the HRA to verify the income of the prospective purchaser. Upon receipt of a complete application the HRA shall inform the Developer or other requesting party, in writing and within five business days, whether the application is approved. If the HRA fails to respond to a complete application within five business days, the application will be deemed approved.

5. Initial Sale of Housing Units by Developer. Initial sale of Moderate Income Units by the Developer shall comply with the income and pricing requirements set forth in Paragraph 1. In addition, during the Preference Period, the initial sale of all housing units by the Developer shall give preference to prospective buyers who live or work in the City of Eden Prairie. During the Preference Period, Developer shall market to residents and employees of Eden Prairie businesses and permit those who live or work within the City of Eden Prairie to have the first opportunity to sign a purchase agreement for their desired lot, or if no specific lot is specified, for a lot within the Project. As used herein, the phrase “Preference Period” shall refer 29

to the period of time that elapses between the date hereof and the 180th day after the date of the issuance of the first building permit for the Project. 6. Future Sale of Housing Units. After the initial sale of any Moderate Income Unit by the Developer, the seller in any subsequent sale of a Moderate Income Unit that consists of a “Non-Qualifying Sale” and that is closed within 10 years of the date of the initial sale by the Developer of the subject Moderate Income Unit, shall remit the “Applicable Portion of the Profit” received by such seller in such transaction to the City for reinvestment in low and moderate income housing initiatives. As used herein, the phrase “Non-Qualifying Sale” shall be defined as the sale of a Moderate Income Unit that is closed within 10 years of the date of the initial sale of such Moderate Income Unit by the Developer and that is made either: (i) to a buyer that has income in excess of the Moderate Income Limits or (ii) at a price that is in excess of the Affordable Housing Prices, both as measured in the year in which the closing of such sale of the Moderate Income Unit occurs. The Seller of any Moderate Income Unit may apply to the HRA pursuant to Paragraph 4.D hereof for a determination that a prospective sale of such Moderate Income Unit shall not constitute a Non-Qualifying Sale. As used herein, the phrase “Applicable Portion of the Profit” shall refer to the portion designated pursuant to the chart set forth below in Paragraph 6.B. A.

Profit. The “Profit” from the subsequent sale of a Moderate Income Unit shall be defined as the funds received by the seller from the buyer at the closing of such sale, after deduction of the sum of the following: (i) all costs and fees listed on the settlement statement (which costs shall include any park dedication fee paid pursuant to Paragraph 7 hereof), excluding amounts necessary to satisfy any mortgages recorded against the property; (ii) the amount of the seller’s basis in the Moderate Income Unit as of the date of its acquisition thereof; plus (iii) the cost of improvements made by the seller as defined in IRS publication 523 which increase the seller’s basis in the Moderate Income Unit.

B.

Remittance. The amount of any “profit” that is required to be remitted to the City by the seller of a Moderate Income Unit in a Non-Qualifying Sale shall be as follows:

Time elapsed since the date of the initial purchase of the housing unit from the Developer Less than 1 year At least 1 year but less than 2 years At least 2 years but less than 3 years At least 3 years but less than 4 years At least 4 years but less than 5 years At least 5 years but less than 6 years At least 6 years but less than 7 years At least 7 years but less than 8 years At least 8 years but less than 9 years 30

EXHIBIT D to H.R.A. RESOLUTION NO. 2014-02 Housing Project Agreement HOUSING PROJECT AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT, made as of the 14th day of July, 2014, by and between the Housing Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, a municipal corporation and political subdivision organized and existing under the Constitution and the laws of the State of Minnesota (the "HRA") and Eden Gardens, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (the "Developer"), WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, pursuant to Minn. Stat. 469.017, the HRA has the authority to complete a housing development project; WHEREAS, the HRA adopted H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-01 at a duly noticed meeting on July 14, 2014. In H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-01 the HRA found that there is a shortage of decent, safe, and sanitary housing for persons of moderate income and their families in the City and determined to carry out a housing development project to partially alleviate the shortage (the “Project”); WHEREAS, the property on which the Project will be constructed is located at the southwest corner of Eden Prairie Road and Scenic Heights Road as illustrated on attached Exhibit A (“Project Area”) and is legally described on attached Exhibit B. WHEREAS, the goals for the Project are to increase environmental sustainability/energy efficiency and single family housing affordability for moderate income individuals and their families. The intent of the Project is to create an environmentally sustainable single family neighborhood with implementation of “green” measures with 20 of the housing units to be sold to people with moderate incomes as defined below; WHEREAS, in order to ensure that the housing development project partially alleviates the shortage of moderate income housing, the HRA in H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-01 established moderate income and affordability limits for the Project; WHEREAS, based on evidence presented by developers who responded to the Project Request for Proposals, in order to make the Project feasible and to provide the desired moderate income housing, the HRA has determined that 16 of the housing units in the Project may be sold at market rates. The market rate housing units shall be located on Lot 1, Block 1 and Lots 1-15, Block 5, Eden Gardens. The remaining 20 housing units (collectively the “Moderate Income Units”) must be sold to people with incomes that fall within the range of the “Moderate Income Limits” (as defined below in Paragraph 1.B hereof) and at prices that fall within the range of “Affordable Housing Prices” (as defined below in Paragraph 1.C hereof), that are applicable at the time of such sale. The Moderate Income Units shall be located on Lots 1-5, Block 2, Lots 15, Block 3, and Lots 1-10, Block 4, Eden Gardens; and 42

WHEREAS, the HRA adopted H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-02 at a duly noticed public hearing on July 14, 2014. In H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-02 the HRA approved the purchase and sale of the Project Area; set the estimated market value of the Project Area; and selected Developer to complete the Project subject to the condition that Developer and HRA enter into this Housing Project Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual obligations of the parties hereto, each of them does hereby covenant and agree with the other as follows: 1. Housing Criteria. The Project shall consist of 36 single family units. Twenty units shall be Moderate Income Units. The remaining 16 units may be sold at market rates. The size of the 20 Moderate Income Units shall range between 1600 and 2200 square feet above grade and the 16 market rate units shall range between 1600 and 2600 square feet above grade. Floor plans available for potential buyers shall include a one-level living floor plan option. The 20 Moderate Income Units shall be priced and sold based on the following calculations: A.

Project Feasibility. Based on evidence presented by developers who responded to the Project Request for Proposals, in order to make the Project feasible and to provide the desired moderate income housing, 16 of the housing units in the Project may be sold at market rates. The market rate units shall be built on Blocks 1 and 5 as shown on the Preliminary Plat of Eden Gardens. The 20 Moderate Income Units must be sold: (i) to people who qualify under the Moderate Income Limits set forth below in B; and (ii) at the Affordable Housing Prices set forth below in C.

B.

Moderate Income Limits. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development annually determines the area median income for Hennepin County (“Area Median Income”). The Area Median Income is published annually in December for use in the following year. The HRA hereby determines that the moderate income limits for the Project (the “Moderate Income Limits”) shall be 80% to 120% of the Area Median Income. (For example, the Area Median Income for Hennepin County published in December 2013 for use in the year 2014 was $82,900. The moderate income limits for all Moderate Income Units sold in 2014 is $66,320 to $99,480.)

C.

Affordable Housing Prices. Based upon the Area Median Income the Minnesota Housing Finance Authority annually sets a loan limit for the 11-County Metro (“Area Affordable Price”). The Area Affordable Price is published in December for use in the following year. For purposes hereof, the affordable housing prices for persons of moderate income for the Project shall be 80% to 120% of the Area Affordable Price (the “Affordable Housing Prices”) (For example, the Area Affordable Price published in December 2013 for use in the year 2014 was $310,000. Consequently, the Affordable Housing Prices for all Moderate Income Units sold in 2014 is $248,000 to $372,000.)

43

2. Minnesota’s Green Path Development Standards. The Developer shall construct the Project in a manner that meets Minnesota’s Green Path (“Green Path”) standards as required in the attached as Exhibit C. 3. Community Involvement. The Developer shall engage the community by involving Hennepin Technical College. Specifically, the Developer shall involve students through opportunities such as framing a home, learning how ‘green’ mechanical/electrical systems work or learning green techniques used in stormwater management. 4. Sale of the Project Area. For purposes of this Agreement, “sale” includes any transfer of a housing unit including but not limited to sale, conveyance, gift, and involuntary transfer. The Developer may not close on the sale of any Moderate Income Unit unless all of the following conditions have been met: A.

All infrastructure including streets, sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer, but not including landscaping and the final wear course on streets and other items that cannot reasonably be completed due to winter weather conditions and that do not materially affect the use or function of such items of infrastructure, are substantially complete and accepted in writing by the City;

B.

All public space including common areas, parks and community buildings are complete and accepted in writing by the HRA;

C.

The residential structure on the lot to be sold has been issued a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy; and

In order to request such approval for the sale of each Moderate Income Unit, Developer, or any subsequent owner that is selling a Moderate Income Unit, shall submit a complete application to the HRA for the sale of each Moderate Income Unit in such form and substances as required by the HRA, which shall include at a minimum all information required by the HRA to verify the income of the prospective purchaser. Upon receipt of a complete application the HRA shall inform the Developer or other requesting party, in writing and within five business days, whether the application is approved. If the HRA fails to respond to a complete application within five business days, the application will be deemed approved.

5. Initial Sale of Housing Units by Developer. Initial sale of Moderate Income Units by the Developer shall comply with the income and pricing requirements set forth in Paragraph 1. In addition, during the Preference Period, the initial sale of all housing units by the Developer shall give preference to prospective buyers who live or work in the City of Eden Prairie. During the Preference Period, Developer shall market to residents and employees of Eden Prairie businesses and permit those who live or work within the City of Eden Prairie to have the first opportunity to sign a purchase agreement for their desired lot, or if no specific lot is specified, for a lot within the Project. As used herein, the phrase “Preference Period” shall refer 44

to the period of time that elapses between the date hereof and the 180th day after the date of the issuance of the first building permit for the Project. 6. Future Sale of Housing Units. After the initial sale of any Moderate Income Unit by the Developer, the seller in any subsequent sale of a Moderate Income Unit that consists of a “Non-Qualifying Sale” and that is closed within 10 years of the date of the initial sale by the Developer of the subject Moderate Income Unit, shall remit the “Applicable Portion of the Profit” received by such seller in such transaction to the City for reinvestment in low and moderate income housing initiatives. As used herein, the phrase “Non-Qualifying Sale” shall be defined as the sale of a Moderate Income Unit that is closed within 10 years of the date of the initial sale of such Moderate Income Unit by the Developer and that is made either: (i) to a buyer that has income in excess of the Moderate Income Limits or (ii) at a price that is in excess of the Affordable Housing Prices, both as measured in the year in which the closing of such sale of the Moderate Income Unit occurs. The Seller of any Moderate Income Unit may apply to the HRA pursuant to Paragraph 4.D hereof for a determination that a prospective sale of such Moderate Income Unit shall not constitute a Non-Qualifying Sale. As used herein, the phrase “Applicable Portion of the Profit” shall refer to the portion designated pursuant to the chart set forth below in Paragraph 6.B. A.

Profit. The “Profit” from the subsequent sale of a Moderate Income Unit shall be defined as the funds received by the seller from the buyer at the closing of such sale, after deduction of the sum of the following: (i) all costs and fees listed on the settlement statement (which costs shall include any park dedication fee paid pursuant to Paragraph 7 hereof), excluding amounts necessary to satisfy any mortgages recorded against the property; (ii) the amount of the seller’s basis in the Moderate Income Unit as of the date of its acquisition thereof; plus (iii) the cost of improvements made by the seller as defined in IRS publication 523 which increase the seller’s basis in the Moderate Income Unit.

Regardless of the number of times a Moderate Income Unit is sold, the requirements of this Paragraph 6 shall apply to any subsequent sale of such Moderate Income Unit that consists of a Non-Qualifying Sale and shall be based on the amount of time that has elapsed from the date of the initial sale of the housing unit by the Developer; provided, however, the provisions of this Paragraph 6 shall not be applicable to any sale of any Moderate Income Unit that closes at any time subsequent to the 10th anniversary of the closing of the initial sale of such Moderate Income Unit by the Developer. 7. Park Dedication Fee. The park dedication fee of $6,500.00 per unit shall be waived for each Moderate Income Unit; provided, however, if any closing upon the sale of a Moderate Income Unit in a Non-Qualifying Sale occurs at any time within 10 years of the date of the initial sale of the Moderate Income Unit by the Developer, the waiver of the park dedication fee for that Moderate Income Unit shall be revoked and such park dedication fee in the amount of $6,500.00 shall be due and payable at the time of the closing of such Non-Qualifying Sale. 8.

Stat. 469.017, the HRA has the authority to complete a housing development project; WHEREAS, the HRA adopted H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-01 at a duly noticed meeting on July 14, 2014. In H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-01 the HRA found that there is a shortage of decent, safe, and sanitary housing for persons of moderate income and their families in the City and determined to carry out a housing development project to partially alleviate the shortage (the “Project”); WHEREAS, the property on which the Project will be constructed is located at the southwest corner of Eden Prairie Road and Scenic Heights Road as illustrated on attached Exhibit A (“Project Area”) and is legally described on attached Exhibit B. WHEREAS, the goals for the Project are to increase environmental sustainability/energy efficiency and single family housing affordability for moderate income individuals and their families. The intent of the Project is to create an environmentally sustainable single family neighborhood with implementation of “green” measures with 20 of the housing units to be sold to people with moderate incomes as defined below; WHEREAS, in order to ensure that the housing development project partially alleviates the shortage of moderate income housing, the HRA in H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-01 established moderate income and affordability limits for the Project; WHEREAS, based on evidence presented by developers who responded to the Project Request for Proposals, in order to make the Project feasible and to provide the desired moderate income housing, the HRA has determined that 16 of the housing units in the Project may be sold at market rates. The market rate housing units shall be located on Lot 1, Block 1 and Lots 1-15, Block 5, Eden Gardens. The remaining 20 housing units (collectively the “Moderate Income Units”) must be sold to people with incomes that fall within the range of the “Moderate Income Limits” (as defined below in Paragraph 1.B hereof) and at prices that fall within the range of “Affordable Housing Prices” (as defined below in Paragraph 1.C hereof), that are applicable at the time of such sale. The Moderate Income Units shall be located on Lots 1-5, Block 2, Lots 15, Block 3, and Lots 1-10, Block 4, Eden Gardens; and

20

WHEREAS, the HRA adopted H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-02 at a duly noticed public hearing on July 14, 2014. In H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-02 the HRA approved the purchase and sale of the Project Area; set the estimated market value of the Project Area; and selected Developer to complete the Project subject to the condition that Developer and HRA enter into this Housing Project Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual obligations of the parties hereto, each of them does hereby covenant and agree with the other as follows: 1. Housing Criteria. The Project shall consist of 36 single family units. Twenty units shall be Moderate Income Units. The remaining 16 units may be sold at market rates. The size of the 20 Moderate Income Units shall range between 1600 and 2200 square feet above grade and the 16 market rate units shall range between 1600 and 2600 square feet above grade. Floor plans available for potential buyers shall include a one-level living floor plan option. The 20 Moderate Income Units shall be priced and sold based on the following calculations: A.

Project Feasibility. Based on evidence presented by developers who responded to the Project Request for Proposals, in order to make the Project feasible and to provide the desired moderate income housing, 16 of the housing units in the Project may be sold at market rates. The market rate units shall be built on Blocks 1 and 5 as shown on the Preliminary Plat of Eden Gardens. The 20 Moderate Income Units must be sold: (i) to people who qualify under the Moderate Income Limits set forth below in B; and (ii) at the Affordable Housing Prices set forth below in C.

B.

Moderate Income Limits. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development annually determines the area median income for Hennepin County (“Area Median Income”). The Area Median Income is published annually in December for use in the following year. The HRA hereby determines that the moderate income limits for the Project (the “Moderate Income Limits”) shall be 80% to 120% of the Area Median Income. (For example, the Area Median Income for Hennepin County published in December 2013 for use in the year 2014 was $82,900. The moderate income limits for all Moderate Income Units sold in 2014 is $66,320 to $99,480.)

C.

Affordable Housing Prices. Based upon the Area Median Income the Minnesota Housing Finance Authority annually sets a loan limit for the 11-County Metro (“Area Affordable Price”). The Area Affordable Price is published in December for use in the following year. For purposes hereof, the affordable housing prices for persons of moderate income for the Project shall be 80% to 120% of the Area Affordable Price (the “Affordable Housing Prices”) (For example, the Area Affordable Price published in December 2013 for use in the year 2014 was $310,000. Consequently, the Affordable Housing Prices for all Moderate Income Units sold in 2014 is $248,000 to $372,000.)

21

2. Minnesota’s Green Path Development Standards. The Developer shall construct the Project in a manner that meets Minnesota’s Green Path (“Green Path”) standards as required in the attached as Exhibit C. 3. Community Involvement. The Developer shall engage the community by involving Hennepin Technical College. Specifically, the Developer shall involve students through opportunities such as framing a home, learning how ‘green’ mechanical/electrical systems work or learning green techniques used in stormwater management. 4. Sale of the Project Area. For purposes of this Agreement, “sale” includes any transfer of a housing unit including but not limited to sale, conveyance, gift, and involuntary transfer. The Developer may not close on the sale of any Moderate Income Unit unless all of the following conditions have been met: A.

All infrastructure including streets, sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer, but not including landscaping and the final wear course on streets and other items that cannot reasonably be completed due to winter weather conditions and that do not materially affect the use or function of such items of infrastructure, are substantially complete and accepted in writing by the City;

B.

All public space including common areas, parks and community buildings are complete and accepted in writing by the HRA;

C.

The residential structure on the lot to be sold has been issued a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy; and

D.

The sale has been approved in writing by the HRA prior to closing in order to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In order to request such approval for the sale of each Moderate Income Unit, Developer, or any subsequent owner that is selling a Moderate Income Unit, shall submit a complete application to the HRA for the sale of each Moderate Income Unit in such form and substances as required by the HRA, which shall include at a minimum all information required by the HRA to verify the income of the prospective purchaser. Upon receipt of a complete application the HRA shall inform the Developer or other requesting party, in writing and within five business days, whether the application is approved. If the HRA fails to respond to a complete application within five business days, the application will be deemed approved.

5. Initial Sale of Housing Units by Developer. Initial sale of Moderate Income Units by the Developer shall comply with the income and pricing requirements set forth in Paragraph 1. In addition, during the Preference Period, the initial sale of all housing units by the Developer shall give preference to prospective buyers who live or work in the City of Eden Prairie. During the Preference Period, Developer shall market to residents and employees of Eden Prairie businesses and permit those who live or work within the City of Eden Prairie to have the first opportunity to sign a purchase agreement for their desired lot, or if no specific lot is specified, for a lot within the Project. As used herein, the phrase “Preference Period” shall refer

22

to the period of time that elapses between the date hereof and the 180th day after the date of the issuance of the first building permit for the Project. 6. Future Sale of Housing Units. After the initial sale of any Moderate Income Unit by the Developer, the seller in any subsequent sale of a Moderate Income Unit that consists of a “Non-Qualifying Sale” and that is closed within 10 years of the date of the initial sale by the Developer of the subject Moderate Income Unit, shall remit the “Applicable Portion of the Profit” received by such seller in such transaction to the City for reinvestment in low and moderate income housing initiatives. As used herein, the phrase “Non-Qualifying Sale” shall be defined as the sale of a Moderate Income Unit that is closed within 10 years of the date of the initial sale of such Moderate Income Unit by the Developer and that is made either: (i) to a buyer that has income in excess of the Moderate Income Limits or (ii) at a price that is in excess of the Affordable Housing Prices, both as measured in the year in which the closing of such sale of the Moderate Income Unit occurs. The Seller of any Moderate Income Unit may apply to the HRA pursuant to Paragraph 4.D hereof for a determination that a prospective sale of such Moderate Income Unit shall not constitute a Non-Qualifying Sale. As used herein, the phrase “Applicable Portion of the Profit” shall refer to the portion designated pursuant to the chart set forth below in Paragraph 6.B. A.

Profit. The “Profit” from the subsequent sale of a Moderate Income Unit shall be defined as the funds received by the seller from the buyer at the closing of such sale, after deduction of the sum of the following: (i) all costs and fees listed on the settlement statement (which costs shall include any park dedication fee paid pursuant to Paragraph 7 hereof), excluding amounts necessary to satisfy any mortgages recorded against the property; (ii) the amount of the seller’s basis in the Moderate Income Unit as of the date of its acquisition thereof; plus (iii) the cost of improvements made by the seller as defined in IRS publication 523 which increase the seller’s basis in the Moderate Income Unit.

B.

Remittance. The amount of any “profit” that is required to be remitted to the City by the seller of a Moderate Income Unit in a Non-Qualifying Sale shall be as follows:

Time elapsed since the date of the initial purchase of the housing unit from the Developer Less than 1 year At least 1 year but less than 2 years At least 2 years but less than 3 years At least 3 years but less than 4 years At least 4 years but less than 5 years At least 5 years but less than 6 years At least 6 years but less than 7 years At least 7 years but less than 8 years At least 8 years but less than 9 years

At least 9 years but less than 10 years

5%

Regardless of the number of times a Moderate Income Unit is sold, the requirements of this Paragraph 6 shall apply to any subsequent sale of such Moderate Income Unit that consists of a Non-Qualifying Sale and shall be based on the amount of time that has elapsed from the date of the initial sale of the housing unit by the Developer; provided, however, the provisions of this Paragraph 6 shall not be applicable to any sale of any Moderate Income Unit that closes at any time subsequent to the 10th anniversary of the closing of the initial sale of such Moderate Income Unit by the Developer. 7. Park Dedication Fee. The park dedication fee of $6,500.00 per unit shall be waived for each Moderate Income Unit; provided, however, if any closing upon the sale of a Moderate Income Unit in a Non-Qualifying Sale occurs at any time within 10 years of the date of the initial sale of the Moderate Income Unit by the Developer, the waiver of the park dedication fee for that Moderate Income Unit shall be revoked and such park dedication fee in the amount of $6,500.00 shall be due and payable at the time of the closing of such Non-Qualifying Sale. 8. Bond. Prior to issuance of any grading or building permits for the Project Area, Developer shall provide to the HRA a bond equal to $100,000 to secure the Developer’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement, including to reimburse the HRA for costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the HRA in any action to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Agreement (the “Security”). The HRA may draw down on or make a claim against the Security, as appropriate, upon five (5) business days’ notice to the Developer, for any violation of the terms of this Agreement or if the Security is allowed to lapse prior to the end of the required term. If the Security has not then been renewed, replaced or otherwise extended beyond the expiration date, the HRA may also draw down or make a claim against the Security as appropriate. If the Security is drawn down on or a claim is made against the Security, the proceeds shall be used to cure the default(s) and to reimburse the HRA for all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fee, incurred by the HRA in enforcing this Agreement. Any amount of the Security that is drawn by the HRA shall be held by the HRA in trust and disbursed only if, and to the extent, that the Security may be disbursed hereunder. Developer shall be released from any further obligation to maintain the Security and all amounts of such Security that may then exist shall be released to Developer upon the earlier of the following: (i) the sale of all Moderate Income Units by the Developer; or (ii) the termination of Developer’s obligations to sell the Moderate Income Units as set forth in Paragraph 12 below. 9. warranties:

The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is not prevented, limited by or conflicts with (unless all necessary waivers, consents or the like have been obtained) or results in a breach of, material terms, conditions or provision of any contractual restriction, evidence of indebtedness, agreement or instrument of whatever nature to which the Developer is now a party or by which they are bound, or constitutes a material default under any of the foregoing.

10. City Development Agreement. Prior to issuance of any grading or building permits for the Project Area, Developer shall enter into a Development Agreement with the City of Eden Prairie with respect to the Project and such Development Agreement shall be recorded against the Project Area. 11. Revision of Limits and Prices. If there are no prospective purchasers for any of the Moderate Income Units within six months following the issuance of the first building permit for the Project and upon written request of the Developer, the HRA shall revise the Moderate Income Limits and Affordable Housing Prices. 12. Moderate Income Units. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, the Developer’s obligation to sell the Moderate Income Units subject to the requirements in Paragraph 1, and the conditions applicable to the Developer’s sale of any Moderate Income Units in Paragraph 4, shall terminate upon the earlier of: (i) no Moderate Income Units have sold within 36 months following the issuance of the first building permit for the Project; or (ii) no Moderate Income Units have sold in the previous 12 months. Developer shall submit to the HRA evidence substantiating such lack of sales and the HRA shall execute an amendment to this Agreement terminating the obligation in Paragraph 1 and conditions in Paragraph 4. Upon such termination, the provisions of Paragraph 6 shall be deemed terminated with respect to any unsold Moderate Income Units, the waiver of the park dedication fee for unsold Moderate Income Units set forth in Paragraph 7 shall be revoked and the park dedication fee for all unsold Moderate Income Units shall become immediately due and payable by the Developer. Any Moderate Income Units which have been sold prior to termination shall remain subject to Paragraphs 6 and 7. All obligations in this Agreement not specifically amended or terminated by this Paragraph shall survive, including but not limited to applicable provisions concerning the remittance of a portion of “Profits” set forth in Paragraph 6 for Moderate Income Units sold prior to such termination. 13. Binding. This Agreement shall be recorded against the Project Area. Provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and enforceable as real covenants that “run” with the title to all lots within the Project Area, and shall also be enforceable against, and inure to the benefit of the HRA and the Developer; provided, however, and notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, although the provisions of Paragraphs 6 and 7 herein constitute real covenants that run with title to the Moderate Income Units and that are enforceable against future owners of Moderate Income Units to the extent provided therein, Developer shall have no personal

25

obligation to perform any of the covenants of Paragraphs 6 and 7 hereof, provided the Developer is not the seller in any transaction that constitutes a Non-Qualifying sale. 14. Remedies. Developer acknowledges, on its own and for all successors and assigns, that the rights of HRA to perform the obligations of Developer contemplated in this agreement are special, unique, and of an extraordinary character, and that, in the event that Developer violates, or fails, or refuses to perform any covenant, condition, or provision made herein, HRA may be without an adequate remedy at law. Developer agrees, therefore, that in the event Developer violates, fails, or refuses to perform any covenant, condition, or provision made herein, HRA may, at its option, institute and prosecute an action to specifically enforce such covenant, to enjoin conduct or activities that violate the terms hereof, withhold building permits, or seek any other remedy available at law or in equity. In the event of any litigation between the HRA and Developer to enforce or interpret the provisions hereof in which the HRA is the prevailing party, the HRA shall be entitled to an award requiring Developer to reimburse the HRA for all of its costs and expenses in such action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. No remedy conferred in this agreement is intended to be exclusive and each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy. The election of any one or more remedies shall not constitute a waiver of any other remedy. 15. No HRA Liability. No failure of the HRA to comply with any term, condition, covenant or agreement herein shall subject the HRA to liability for any claim for damages, costs or other financial or pecuniary charges. No execution on any claim, demand, cause of action or judgment shall be levied upon or collected from the general credit, general fund or taxing powers of the HRA. 16. Recording. This Agreement shall be recorded at the County Recorder and / or Registrar of Titles at the closing of the Developer’s purchase of the Project Area from the HRA. This Agreement shall be recorded after the deed from the HRA to Developer and prior to any mortgages or encumbrances. No land alteration or building permits for the Project Area shall be issued until proof of filing of the Agreement is submitted to the HRA. 17. Right of Entry. The Developer hereby grants to the HRA and the City of Eden Prairie, their agents, employees, officers and contractors a license to enter the Project Area to perform all work and inspections deemed appropriate by the HRA or City in conjunction with this Agreement. 18. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except with respect to Developer, the HRA, and the covenants hereof that “run” with title to the lots within the Project pursuant to Paragraph 13 hereof, no provision of this Agreement inures to the benefit of any third person, including the public at large, so as to constitute any such person as a third-party beneficiary of the Agreement or of any one or more of the terms hereof, or otherwise give rise to any cause of action for any such person.

Resolution No. 2014-01 established moderate income and affordability limits for the Project; WHEREAS, based on evidence presented by developers who responded to the Project Request for Proposals, in order to make the Project feasible and to provide the desired moderate income housing, the HRA has determined that 16 of the housing units in the Project may be sold at market rates. The market rate housing units shall be located on Lot 1, Block 1 and Lots 1-15, 1

Block 5, Eden Gardens. The remaining 20 housing units (collectively the “Moderate Income Units”) must be sold to people with incomes that fall within the range of the “Moderate Income Limits” (as defined below in Paragraph 1.B hereof) and at prices that fall within the range of “Affordable Housing Prices” (as defined below in Paragraph 1.C hereof), that are applicable at the time of such sale. The Moderate Income Units shall be located on Lots 1-5, Block 2, Lots 1-5, Block 3, and Lots 1-10, Block 4, Eden Gardens; and WHEREAS, the HRA adopted H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-02 at a duly noticed public hearing on July 14, 2014. In H.R.A. Resolution No. 2014-02 the HRA approved the purchase and sale of the Project Area; set the estimated market value of the Project Area; and selected Developer to complete the Project subject to the condition that Developer and HRA enter into this Housing Project Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual obligations of the parties hereto, each of them does hereby covenant and agree with the other as follows: 1. Housing Criteria. The Project shall consist of 36 single family units. Twenty units shall be Moderate Income Units. The remaining 16 units may be sold at market rates. The size of the 20 Moderate Income Units shall range between 1600 and 2200 square feet above grade and the 16 market rate units shall range between 1600 and 2600 square feet above grade. Floor plans available for potential buyers shall include a one-level living floor plan option. The 20 Moderate Income Units shall be priced and sold based on the following calculations: A.

Project Feasibility. Based on evidence presented by developers who responded to the Project Request for Proposals, in order to make the Project feasible and to provide the desired moderate income housing, 16 of the housing units in the Project may be sold at market rates. The market rate units shall be built on Blocks 1 and 5 as shown on the Preliminary Plat of Eden Gardens. The 20 Moderate Income Units must be sold: (i) to people who qualify under the Moderate Income Limits set forth below in B; and (ii) at the Affordable Housing Prices set forth below in C.

B.

Moderate Income Limits. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development annually determines the area median income for Hennepin County (“Area Median Income”). The Area Median Income is published annually in December for use in the following year. The HRA hereby determines that the moderate income limits for the Project (the “Moderate Income Limits”) shall be 80% to 120% of the Area Median Income. (For example, the Area Median Income for Hennepin County published in December 2013 for use in the year 2014 was $82,900. The moderate income limits for all Moderate Income Units sold in 2014 is $66,320 to $99,480.)

C.

Affordable Housing Prices. Based upon the Area Median Income the Minnesota Housing Finance Authority annually sets a loan limit for the 11-County Metro (“Area Affordable Price”). The Area Affordable Price is published in December for use in the following year. For purposes hereof, the affordable housing prices for persons of moderate income for the Project shall be 80% to 120% of the Area 2

Affordable Price (the “Affordable Housing Prices”) (For example, the Area Affordable Price published in December 2013 for use in the year 2014 was $310,000. Consequently, the Affordable Housing Prices for all Moderate Income Units sold in 2014 is $248,000 to $372,000.) 2. Minnesota’s Green Path Development Standards. The Developer shall construct the Project in a manner that meets Minnesota’s Green Path (“Green Path”) standards as required in the attached as Exhibit C. 3. Community Involvement. The Developer shall engage the community by involving Hennepin Technical College. Specifically, the Developer shall involve students through opportunities such as framing a home, learning how ‘green’ mechanical/electrical systems work or learning green techniques used in stormwater management. 4. Sale of the Project Area. For purposes of this Agreement, “sale” includes any transfer of a housing unit including but not limited to sale, conveyance, gift, and involuntary transfer. The Developer may not close on the sale of any Moderate Income Unit unless all of the following conditions have been met: A.

All infrastructure including streets, sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer, but not including landscaping and the final wear course on streets and other items that cannot reasonably be completed due to winter weather conditions and that do not materially affect the use or function of such items of infrastructure, are substantially complete and accepted in writing by the City;

B.

All public space including common areas, parks and community buildings are complete and accepted in writing by the HRA;

C.

The residential structure on the lot to be sold has been issued a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy; and

D.

The sale has been approved in writing by the HRA prior to closing in order to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In order to request such approval for the sale of each Moderate Income Unit, Developer, or any subsequent owner that is selling a Moderate Income Unit, shall submit a complete application to the HRA for the sale of each Moderate Income Unit in such form and substances as required by the HRA, which shall include at a minimum all information required by the HRA to verify the income of the prospective purchaser. Upon receipt of a complete application the HRA shall inform the Developer or other requesting party, in writing and within five business days, whether the application is approved. If the HRA fails to respond to a complete application within five business days, the application will be deemed approved.

5. Initial Sale of Housing Units by Developer. Initial sale of Moderate Income Units by the Developer shall comply with the income and pricing requirements set forth in Paragraph 1. In addition, during the Preference Period, the initial sale of all housing units by the Developer shall 3

give preference to prospective buyers who live or work in the City of Eden Prairie. During the Preference Period, Developer shall market to residents and employees of Eden Prairie businesses and permit those who live or work within the City of Eden Prairie to have the first opportunity to sign a purchase agreement for their desired lot, or if no specific lot is specified, for a lot within the Project. As used herein, the phrase “Preference Period” shall refer to the period of time that elapses between the date hereof and the 180th day after the date of the issuance of the first building permit for the Project. 6. Future Sale of Housing Units. After the initial sale of any Moderate Income Unit by the Developer, the seller in any subsequent sale of a Moderate Income Unit that consists of a “Non-Qualifying Sale” and that is closed within 10 years of the date of the initial sale by the Developer of the subject Moderate Income Unit, shall remit the “Applicable Portion of the Profit” received by such seller in such transaction to the City for reinvestment in low and moderate income housing initiatives. As used herein, the phrase “Non-Qualifying Sale” shall be defined as the sale of a Moderate Income Unit that is closed within 10 years of the date of the initial sale of such Moderate Income Unit by the Developer and that is made either: (i) to a buyer that has income in excess of the Moderate Income Limits or (ii) at a price that is in excess of the Affordable Housing Prices, both as measured in the year in which the closing of such sale of the Moderate Income Unit occurs. The Seller of any Moderate Income Unit may apply to the HRA pursuant to Paragraph 4.D hereof for a determination that a prospective sale of such Moderate Income Unit shall not constitute a Non-Qualifying Sale. As used herein, the phrase “Applicable Portion of the Profit” shall refer to the portion designated pursuant to the chart set forth below in Paragraph 6.B. A.

Profit. The “Profit” from the subsequent sale of a Moderate Income Unit shall be defined as the funds received by the seller from the buyer at the closing of such sale, after deduction of the sum of the following: (i) all costs and fees listed on the settlement statement (which costs shall include any park dedication fee paid pursuant to Paragraph 7 hereof), excluding amounts necessary to satisfy any mortgages recorded against the property; (ii) the amount of the seller’s basis in the Moderate Income Unit as of the date of its acquisition thereof; plus (iii) the cost of improvements made by the seller as defined in IRS publication 523 which increase the seller’s basis in the Moderate Income Unit.

B.

Remittance. The amount of any “profit” that is required to be remitted to the City by the seller of a Moderate Income Unit in a Non-Qualifying Sale shall be as follows: Time elapsed since the date of the initial purchase of the housing unit from the Developer Less than 1 year At least 1 year but less than 2 years At least 2 years but less than 3 years At least 3 years but less than 4 years At least 4 years but less than 5 years At least 5 years but less than 6 years 4

At least 6 years but less than 7 years At least 7 years but less than 8 years At least 8 years but less than 9 years At least 9 years but less than 10 years

30% 20% 10% 5%

Regardless of the number of times a Moderate Income Unit is sold, the requirements of this Paragraph 6 shall apply to any subsequent sale of such Moderate Income Unit that consists of a Non-Qualifying Sale and shall be based on the amount of time that has elapsed from the date of the initial sale of the housing unit by the Developer; provided, however, the provisions of this Paragraph 6 shall not be applicable to any sale of any Moderate Income Unit that closes at any time subsequent to the 10th anniversary of the closing of the initial sale of such Moderate Income Unit by the Developer. 7. Park Dedication Fee. The park dedication fee of $6,500.00 per unit shall be waived for each Moderate Income Unit; provided, however, if any closing upon the sale of a Moderate Income Unit in a Non-Qualifying Sale occurs at any time within 10 years of the date of the initial sale of the Moderate Income Unit by the Developer, the waiver of the park dedication fee for that Moderate Income Unit shall be revoked and such park dedication fee in the amount of $6,500.00 shall be due and payable at the time of the closing of such Non-Qualifying Sale. 8. Bond. Prior to issuance of any grading or building permits for the Project Area, Developer shall provide to the HRA a bond equal to $100,000 to secure the Developer’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement, including to reimburse the HRA for costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the HRA in any action to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Agreement (the “Security”). The HRA may draw down on or make a claim against the Security, as appropriate, upon five (5) business days’ notice to the Developer, for any violation of the terms of this Agreement or if the Security is allowed to lapse prior to the end of the required term. If the Security has not then been renewed, replaced or otherwise extended beyond the expiration date, the HRA may also draw down or make a claim against the Security as appropriate. If the Security is drawn down on or a claim is made against the Security, the proceeds shall be used to cure the default(s) and to reimburse the HRA for all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fee, incurred by the HRA in enforcing this Agreement. Any amount of the Security that is drawn by the HRA shall be held by the HRA in trust and disbursed only if, and to the extent, that the Security may be disbursed hereunder. Developer shall be released from any further obligation to maintain the Security and all amounts of such Security that may then exist shall be released to Developer upon the earlier of the following: (i) the sale of all Moderate Income Units by the Developer; or (ii) the termination of Developer’s obligations to sell the Moderate Income Units as set forth in Paragraph 12 below. 9. warranties: A.

Developer Warranties.

B.

The Developer has obtained funds sufficient for the acquisition or construction of the Project.

C.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is not prevented, limited by or conflicts with (unless all necessary waivers, consents or the like have been obtained) or results in a breach of, material terms, conditions or provision of any contractual restriction, evidence of indebtedness, agreement or instrument of whatever nature to which the Developer is now a party or by which they are bound, or constitutes a material default under any of the foregoing.

10. City Development Agreement. Prior to issuance of any grading or building permits for the Project Area, Developer shall enter into a Development Agreement with the City of Eden Prairie with respect to the Project and such Development Agreement shall be recorded against the Project Area. 11. Revision of Limits and Prices. If there are no prospective purchasers for any of the Moderate Income Units within six months following the issuance of the first building permit for the Project and upon written request of the Developer, the HRA shall revise the Moderate Income Limits and Affordable Housing Prices. 12. Moderate Income Units. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, the Developer’s obligation to sell the Moderate Income Units subject to the requirements in Paragraph 1, and the conditions applicable to the Developer’s sale of any Moderate Income Units in Paragraph 4, shall terminate upon the earlier of: (i) no Moderate Income Units have sold within 36 months following the issuance of the first building permit for the Project; or (ii) no Moderate Income Units have sold in the previous 12 months. Developer shall submit to the HRA evidence substantiating such lack of sales and the HRA shall execute an amendment to this Agreement terminating the obligation in Paragraph 1 and conditions in Paragraph 4. Upon such termination, the provisions of Paragraph 6 shall be deemed terminated with respect to any unsold Moderate Income Units, the waiver of the park dedication fee for unsold Moderate Income Units set forth in Paragraph 7 shall be revoked and the park dedication fee for all unsold Moderate Income Units shall become immediately due and payable by the Developer. Any Moderate Income Units which have been sold prior to termination shall remain subject to Paragraphs 6 and 7. All obligations in this Agreement not specifically amended or terminated by this Paragraph shall survive, including but not limited to applicable provisions concerning the remittance of a portion of “Profits” set forth in Paragraph 6 for Moderate Income Units sold prior to such termination. 13. Binding. This Agreement shall be recorded against the Project Area. Provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and enforceable as real covenants that “run” with the title to all lots within the Project Area, and shall also be enforceable against, and inure to the benefit of the HRA and the Developer; provided, however, and notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, although the provisions of Paragraphs 6 and 7 herein constitute real covenants that run with title to the Moderate Income Units and that are enforceable against future owners of Moderate Income 6

Units to the extent provided therein, Developer shall have no personal obligation to perform any of the covenants of Paragraphs 6 and 7 hereof, provided the Developer is not the seller in any transaction that constitutes a Non-Qualifying sale. 14. Remedies. Developer acknowledges, on its own and for all successors and assigns, that the rights of HRA to perform the obligations of Developer contemplated in this agreement are special, unique, and of an extraordinary character, and that, in the event that Developer violates, or fails, or refuses to perform any covenant, condition, or provision made herein, HRA may be without an adequate remedy at law. Developer agrees, therefore, that in the event Developer violates, fails, or refuses to perform any covenant, condition, or provision made herein, HRA may, at its option, institute and prosecute an action to specifically enforce such covenant, to enjoin conduct or activities that violate the terms hereof, withhold building permits, or seek any other remedy available at law or in equity. In the event of any litigation between the HRA and Developer to enforce or interpret the provisions hereof in which the HRA is the prevailing party, the HRA shall be entitled to an award requiring Developer to reimburse the HRA for all of its costs and expenses in such action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. No remedy conferred in this agreement is intended to be exclusive and each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy. The election of any one or more remedies shall not constitute a waiver of any other remedy. 15. No HRA Liability. No failure of the HRA to comply with any term, condition, covenant or agreement herein shall subject the HRA to liability for any claim for damages, costs or other financial or pecuniary charges. No execution on any claim, demand, cause of action or judgment shall be levied upon or collected from the general credit, general fund or taxing powers of the HRA. 16. Recording. This Agreement shall be recorded at the County Recorder and / or Registrar of Titles at the closing of the Developer’s purchase of the Project Area from the HRA. This Agreement shall be recorded after the deed from the HRA to Developer and prior to any mortgages or encumbrances. No land alteration or building permits for the Project Area shall be issued until proof of filing of the Agreement is submitted to the HRA. 17. Right of Entry. The Developer hereby grants to the HRA and the City of Eden Prairie, their agents, employees, officers and contractors a license to enter the Project Area to perform all work and inspections deemed appropriate by the HRA or City in conjunction with this Agreement. 18. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except with respect to Developer, the HRA, and the covenants hereof that “run” with title to the lots within the Project pursuant to Paragraph 13 hereof, no provision of this Agreement inures to the benefit of any third person, including the public at large, so as to constitute any such person as a third-party beneficiary of the Agreement or of any one or more of the terms hereof, or otherwise give rise to any cause of action for any such person. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties to this Agreement have caused these presents to be executed as of the day and year aforesaid. [signatures on following pages] 7
