Additional information provided for items 8. and II.
4.
Consideration to authorize annual pavrnent of the amended Contract of Deed between the City
and the Otter Creek GrouP. LLC.
Since the HRA was not involved in the acquisition and development of the 14-acre site for the
A VR, the HRA Attorney suggested the HRA table any action relative to ratifying payment for
the additional 53 acres via the Contact for Deed exercised between the City and Otter Creek
LLC. This will allow staff the opportunity to work with the Finance Department requesting a
copy of the City's uses and sources statement associated with the A VR settlement and
submission of construction invoices for eligible costs to be approved by the HRA.
Commissioner Fair made a motion to table payment of the exercised Contract for Deed
between the City and Otter Creek LLC in the amount of$1, 269, 900.33 and to authorize
the 2006 payment of the Contractfor Deed between the City and Otter CreekLLC in the

In an analysis completed by Ehlers & Associates, the Ending Fund Balance (2009) for TIF
District No.1-25 was projected to be $37,603 and the projected uncommitted revenues was
$12,100. In an interpretation oflaw by HRA Attorney Bubul, an authorization to expend the
$12, I 00 for eligible costs was necessary prior to the retirement of the $32,000 pay-as-you-go
note in August 2006.
Therefore, Commissioner Andrews made a motion to adopt a resolution approving the
Decertification ofTIF District No. 1-25, an Economic District (Blue Chip.)
Commissioner Fair seconded the motion and with no fUrther discussion, the motion
carried. Yeas: Andrews, Fair, and Lahr. Nays: None. Abstention: Barger.

District No.I-23 was projected to be $179,487 and the projected uncommitted revenues was
$67, I 00. In an interpretation of law by HRA Attorney Bubul, an authorization to expend the
$67,100 for eligible costs was necessary prior to the retirement of the $181,000 Tax Increment
Revenue Note in August of2006.
Therefore, Commissioner Andrews made a motion to adopt a resolution approving the
Decertification ofTIF District No. 1-23, an Economic District (Allied Properties.) The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Fair and with no fUrther discussion, the motion
carried. Yeas: Andrews, Fair, and Barger. Nays: None.
7. Consideration to review smead sheet of revenues and expenditures on Otter Creek Crossing
Phase I and II and assess need to amend discount price of $1.00 per so ft.
The commissioners reviewed a draft copy of a spreadsheet of revenues and expendi lures on
Otter Creek Crossing Phase I and II. The gentlemen's agreement between the City and HRA
was an understanding the HRA would act as the agent for marketing and sales of Otter Creek
Crossing. The City and HRA matched funds and paid cash for the first 35 acres purchased
from Otter Creek LLC (Chadwick.)
.
Total HRA cost to purchase the 120 acres and the Rask property is $3,247,283. The amount
ofP&I expended by the HRA for land to date is $2,152,971.21 (pending.) The estimated cost
by WSB for construction of infrastructure was $2,822,000. The cost for the bids of Phase I
2
.
HRA Minutes - 12/06/06
and II plus grading costs is $2,750,365. Phase III yet to be purchased and completed. Trunk
fees were estimated at $7,947 per acre in 2003 and proposed at $13,876 per acre in 2007.
The HRA sold two lots (10.724 acres) for $647,678 and expect to generate $554,037 (NPV)
in tax increment. The City donated 12 acres to AVR at a value of$I,385,208. The HRA
requested a clearer estimate of the developable/sellable acres and expenditures, and the amount
contributed by the city for the A VR site prior to determining a need to increase the $1.00 per
sq. ft. If need be, perhaps, the best alternative is to eliminate the no trunk fee. The
commissioners agreed that the $3,245/net acre ponding fee was not applicable to the HRA
since the HRA donated the land and pays for construction of the ponds. No action taken.
8. Consideration to respond to negotiations bv Steve Conroy.
.
The commissioners reviewed the emails from Mr. Conroy relative to his negotiations with
Froslie and noted the most recent email stating the Springborg building had sold. The
commissioners inquired to the sales price of the Springborg property. Noting their desire to
purchase both properties, the HRA took a "think about it" approach. They did discuss and
agreed they were not interested in a ten-year operation on the Froslie property. They noted the
difference between the $500,000 and $327,789 HRA offer was $172,211. Again, the
commissioners agreed to a "think about it" approach.
9.
Consideration to discuss and act on second reauest from Walker In-store.
The HRA was somewhat unclear to the amount of acreage Mr. Walker desired. Walker had
submitted a site concept for a 10,240 sq ft facility on the designated site (Lot 2, Block I, Otter
Creek Crossing}'d Addition) and front, rear, and side elevations. Walker noted they could not
accept the HRA offer for the designated lot due to the close proximity to the concrete ready
mix plant and were interested in finding a site suitable to both the HRA and Walker.
Koropchak had not calculated the maximum amount of land Walker could purchase using a
10,240 sq ft facility since they requested a 1.5 acre site at $1.00 per sq ft. Commissioner
Lahr made a motion to offer the designated site (Lot 2, Block 1, Otter Creek Crossing 3m
Addition) to Walker at a total price of$43, 560 with no assessments and no trunkfees.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Fair and with no fitrther discussion, the
motion carried. Yeas: Lahr. Fair, and Barger. Nays: None.
10. Consideration to authorize payment ofHRA bills.
Commissioner Fair made a motion to authorize payment of the attached HRA invoices.
Seconded by Commissioner Lahr and with no discussion, the motion carried. Yeas: Fair,
Lahr, and Barger. Nays: None.
.
II.

In addition to the written report, Koropchak indicated a good lead from an engineering firm.

BRA Agenda - 02/07/07
4.
Tabled - Consideration to ratifv Davment of the exercised Contract for Deed between
the City and Otter Creek GrouD. LLC in the amount of $1.269.900.33.
A. Reference and backl!round:
At the HRA meeting in December, the commissioners made a motion to table payment on the
Contract for Deed between the City and Otter Creek LLC in the amount of$1,269,900.33 in
order to allow time to work with the Finance Department and to review the City's uses and
sources statement for acquisition/relocation/infrastructure costs associated with the A VR. This
was the suggestion of the HRA Attorney. The HRA serves as the fiscal, negotiating, and
marketing agent for Otter Creek Crossing property.
On August 23, 2006, the City had exercised its right within the Contract for Deed in order to fill
its obligation within the Agreement between the City and A VR and the $1,269,900.33
Contract for Deed payment was paid and coded as an expenditure to the HRA General Fund.
However, no revenues had been identified or coded to the HRA General Fund for the land
purchase and improvements associated with the 12-14 acre site given to A VR by the city which
had a market price of $2.65 per square foot.
Working with the Finance Director, a transfer from the Interchange Project Fund in the amount
of$1,385,208 (12 acres X $2.65) to the HRA General Fund was completed year-end 2006.
B. Alternative Action:
1. A motion to ratify payment of the exercised Contract for Deed between the City and
Otter Creek Group, LLC in the amount of$1,269,900.33.
2. A motion to deny ratifying payment of the exercised Contract for Deed between the
City and Otter Creek Group, LLC in the amount of$1,269,900.33.
3. A motion to table action.
C. Recommendation:
Given the revenues were transferred into the HRA General Fund by the Finance Department
thereby satisfying the suggestion of the HRA Attorney, the HRA Executive Director
recommends Alternative No. 1.

HRA Agenda - 02/07/07
5.
Consideration to approve enterinl! into the Preliminarv Development Al!reement
between the BRA and Walker In-Store.
A. Reference and backl!round:
At the December HRA meeting, the commissioners agreed to offer Walker In-Store the
property described as Lot 2, Block 1, Otter Creek Crossing Third Addition, for a total price of
$43,560 with no assessment and no trunk fees. The entire lot is approximately 5.82 acres and
consists of 1.55 acres developable land and the remainder is ponding and power line
easements. An option to purchase a maximum 1.6 acre site at the market price of$3.00 plus
2007 trunk fees was also offered.
Via a telephone conversation on January 9, 2007, Brian Walker informed me that he and his
wife had again walked the designated site next to the A VR site and they'd decided to take the
HRA's offer for Lot 2, Block 1, Otter Creek Crossing Third Addition.
The HRA officers executed the Preliminary Development Agreement prior to mailing the
agreement to the developer with the intent if the agreement and deposit was returned, the
process for establishment of the TIF District and PurchaselDevelopment Contract would be
authorized.
Mr. Walker was invited to the HRA meeting in February to meet the commissioners and give a
more detailed description of the nature of their business and proposed project. I assume he'll
be bringing the executed agreement and deposit to the meeting.
B.
Alternative Action:
1.
A motion to approve entering into the Preliminary Development Agreement between
the HRA and Walker In-Store.
2.
A motion to deny entering into the Preliminary Development Agreement between the
HRA and Walker In-Store.
3.
A motion to table action.

HRA Agenda - 02/07/07
6.
Consideration to assess the Transformation Home Loan Prol!ram and approve
continuation of the Prol!ram.
A. Reference and backl!round:
The HRA initiated the Transformation Home Loan Program in 2005 earmarking $150,000
from pooling dollars ofTIF District No. 22 to fund the renovation program. The HRA
requested an annual assessment of the program. In 2006, the HRA agreed to continue the
program and modified the criteria.
The HRA has approved three Transformation Home Loan Programs since its initiation;
however, only two projects met the program definition of "substandard" through the inspection
process by the City Building Official.
Transformation Beginning Fund Balance
$150,000
Loans:
Petersen (1023 West Broadway)
Breiwick (511 Elm Street)
$19,846
$20,000
Ending Fund Balance
$110,154
In addition to the application that did not meet the definition of "substandard", there were about
seven other inquiries about the program in 2006.
Attached is the 2006 Application Package which outlines the criteria and the 2006 marketing
flier for your review.
B. Alternative Action:
1. A motion to continue the Transformation Home Loan Program for 2007 with or without
changes to the criteria.
2. A motion to discontinue the Transformation Home Loan Program.
3. A motion to table any action.
1
.
BRA Agenda - 02/07/07
c.
Recommendation:
The program is in place, a good program, and funds are available. The HRA Executive
Director recommends continuation of the program. Two considerations for amending the
criteria: I) Increase assessed market value. 2) Some contractors have inquired about the
program, perhaps some language about intent to sell for purpose of owner occupancy.

Housing and Redevelopment Authority
in and for the City of Monticello, Minnesota
TRANSFORMATION HOME LOAN
2006 APPLICATION PACKAGE
PURPOSE
A "home transformation" means a major home remodel, increasing its livable space and its
value. Residents who enjoy living in the core city and know the benefits ofliving within
walking distance of the Mississippi River, the community center, and the schools are choosing
to adapt and redevelop their existing homes to meet their current needs. The Transformation
Home Loan was developed to provide incentives for homeowners or home buyers in
Monticello to begin major redevelopment/remodeling activities.
The Transformation Home Loan seeks to promote and foster a vibrant core city by:
· Encouraging redevelopment of structurally substandard homes.
· Encouraging home owner-occupancy.
· Encouraging investment into the core city.
· Increasing housing market value.
TARGET AREA
The Transformation Home Loan program is available for existing single-family detached
homes located within the core city described as:
· North ofI-94.
· East of Otter Creek
· South of Mississippi River.
· West of Hospital and Middle School.
TARGET VALUE
The Transformation Home Loan program is available for existing single-family detached
homes with a 2006 assessed market value of $175,000 or less.
I
.
.
.
TARGET CRITERIA
The Transformation Home Loan program is available for existing single-family detached
homes that meet the redevelopment qualification requirement of structurally substandard as
defined by Tax Increment Financing Law, 469.174.
"Strncturally substandard" shall mean containing defects in structural element
or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and
ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of
interior partitions, or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of
sufficient total significance to justifY substantial renovation or clearance.
A building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building
code applicable to new buildings or could be modified to satisfy the building
code at a cost of less than 15 percent of the cost of constructing a new structure
of the same square footage and type on the site. The municipality may find that
a building is not disqualified as strncturally substandard under the preceding
sentence on the basis of reasonably available evidence, such as the size, type,
and age of the building, the average costs of plumbing, electrical, or strnctural
repairs, or other similar reliable evidence. The municipality may not make such
a determination without an interior inspection of the property, but need not
have an independent, expert appraisal prepared of the cost of repair and
rehabilitation of the building.
FUNDING SOURCE
The Transformation Home Loan program is a one-year pilot program commencing January I,
2005, with a limited amount of funds, $150,000. The program was extended in 2006 for one
year.
Program Features:
~ Pre-Remodeling Condition Report. The Monticello Building
Department must assess the age of mechanical systems, measure
square footage, and otherwise note the condition of the home prior
to remodeling. Please call 763-295-3060 for an appointment.
~
The Transformation Loan. The Monticello Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) characterized the Transformation
Loan as an "incentive loan". The incentive is just a little more
fmancing with terrific terms, so that a homeowner may feel equipped
2
.
.
.
to move forward on their remodeling project. To apply for the loan,
the cost of your remodeling project must be $30,000 or more. The
loan may be 25% of your remodeling project, when the cost of
remodeling is $30,000 or more. The maximum loan amount is
$20,000. The loan is interest-free, and is payable upon sale of your
property or forgiven after five (5) years. If you have questions, call
763-271-3208. Funds are limited.
Application Procedure:
1. Prior to starlin!!: vour oroiect. obtain this application package which includes the
builder requirements and summary of design consideration, loan application form, a
list ofremodelers (contractors), and a remodeler form for remodelers who have not
worked under the program previously.
2. Submit a complete application. A commitment of funds can only be made when all
required items have been received. Please note: The City of Monticello's Building
Department must approve all building plans, and may have requirements
independent of loan requirements. All setback and zoning requirements must
also be met.
3.
Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority being
given to projects that are most ready to move forward. Project readiness will be
determined by those that have completed drawings, have total project funding in place
(e.g. have a loan commitment or have closed on mortgage financing), and lor have a
remodeler under contract. Funding will not be held for projects that are not ready.
4. Once an application and other required documents have been received and reviewed,
a loan commitment will be made. Meeting the eligibility criteria does not entitle an
applicant to funding. The distribution of funds is the sole decision of the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority.
Conditions of the Transformation Incentive Loan:
1. Submitted applications will be reviewed for appropriateness and completeness.
Projects generally must be value-added improvements such as renovation or
expanding space. Plans will be reviewed for design considerations.
2.
The loan will be calculated at up to 25% of the initial contract price if the contract
price for remodeling is $30,000 or more, but not to exceed $20,000. The
commitment of funds is made at the beginning of the project.
3
.
.
.
3.
Funds are limited. You may want to call ahead of time to find out if funds are still
available.
4. A Pre-Remodeling Condition Report is required by the HRA to meet city financing
and auditing requirements. A property evaluator (not an appraiser) contracted by the
HRA will spend approximately an hour at your home to assess the age of mechanical
systems, measure square footage, and otherwise note the condition of the home prior
to remodeling. This is a one-time report for HRA records and incurs no cost to the
homeowner.
5. Loans will not be considered for work in progress or work completed. The
Transformation Loan can only be considered for projects not yet begun.
6. You will be sent a commitment letter verifying the reservation of funds to be provided
at closing. A copy of the letter will be provided to your lender.
7. A copy of a letter of commitment from your lender verifying approval of the primary
loan is required.
8.
The Transformation Home Loan funds will be deposited in an escrow account and
disbursed by a title company. Upon satisfactory verification of work in progress or
upon completion, the escrow account will be drawn upon in pro-rated increments
simultaneously as funds are drawn upon from the primary loan to make payments to
the remodeler. Work must be completed prior to final disbursement.
9. The Transformation Home Loan shall be secured by a Mortgage Deed and Note.
10. Final payment of the committed Transformation Loan must be disbursed by the title
company by no later than six months after the date of lender's closing.
Please be informed that financial data shall be submitted to the Lender for purposes of this
loan application. However, the fact that you apply for a Transformation Home Loan, the final
loan amounts are considered public data according to Minnesota Statute Chapter 13.
General Remodeler and Design Criteria:
The HRA does not recommend any particular remodeler. Selected remodelers must
complete a Remodeler Form, and comply with the general criteria established by the
Monticello HRA. "Sweat equity" maybe applied toward eligibility costs associated with
interior improvements such as painting, flooring, etc. or by a Minnesota Licensed Residential
4
. Contractor and when verified by a certified appraisal at the applicant's expense.
Summary of Remodeler Reauirements
It is the homeowner's responsibility to check on contractors thoroughly before selecting them.
Your builder should:
I. Demonstrate financial capability by providing a statement from a financial institution of
sufficient construction capital.
2. Possess adequate Builder's Risk, Comprehensive General Liability and Worker's
Compensation insurance coverage.
3. Have a written warranty policy to be shared with the homeowner or written evidence
of commitment to perform warranted repairs required by the Minnesota State Statute.
If the remodeler has not participated in the Transformation Home Program previously, the
HRA will require a Remodeler Form to be completed. A form is attached.
Summary of Housinl! Desi~
The HRA will require the following:
I. Each home shall remain a detached single-family dwelling.
2. Each home shall be owner-occupied.
.
3.
Garage space may be maintained or expanded, but not reduced.
4. The house building lines, roof lines, doors and window placement should minimize
blank wall mass. House and garage orientation to the street must present a balanced
and pleasing view from all sides.
5. Exterior materials should be low maintenance. Masonite type siding materials are not
acceptable.
5
6. The site must be fully landscaped, including attractively placed foundation plantings
and complete sod installation, lot line to lot line.
7. Adjoining properties must not be disturbed by the construction process. Construction
planning is important since five foot side yard setbacks limit construction space.
8.
The construction process, site grading, and the finished structure must improve or not
have a detrimental impact on storm water drainage pattems in the neighborhood. Re-
working an existing site grade to improve neighborhood drainage may be requested.
If a roof is pitched towards neighboring homes, gutters may need to be installed to
divert storm water, in addition to improved grading.

BRA Agenda - 02/07/07

Consideration to review estimated revenues and expenditures for Otter Creek
Crossin!!: and assess need to amend discount price of $1.00 per sa. ft.
A. Reference and back!!:round.
At the HRA meeting in December, the commissioners reviewed a confusing spread sheet and
requested in simple terms the estimated costs associated with the business center. Using the
assessment roll for Phase I improvements and estimated costs for Phase II and III and grading
costs, Shuman calculated the interest amount for the total improvements. Land cost include
Chadwick's 120 acres plus interest and the Rask property. Of the 122.5 acres purchased or
to be purchased, according to WSB about 79 acres are developable. The undevelopable land
consist of wetlands, roads, and power line and ponding easements.
The estimated expenditures for land and improvements based on developable acres is $2.31
per sq. ft. without trunk or platting fees. The estimated revenues from current land sales with
projected TIF is $2.41 per sq ft..
Staff and WSB both agreed the HRA should not have to pay for the Storm Sewer ponding fee
of $8, 176 per acre since this is part of the improvement costs. The remaining acres for sale is
estimated to be 53.3 acres.
The per sq. ft. expenditures should be set; however, the per sq. ft. revenue needs to increase.
Remember, the current market price is $3.00 per sq. ft. The Rask parcel at the entrance to the
park (Chelsea & 90th) I believe is currently zoned commercial which would command a higher
per sq. ft. purchase price. I've mentioned to a couple of developers that we are looking for a
office type project at this comer with perhaps some glass to set the tone of the business center.
The HRA may want to discuss charging for some of the property under the power lines as it
can to used for hard surface; however, buildings can not be constructed in these areas.

Consideration to resDond to nel!Otiations bv Steve Conrov (carrv-over.)
A. Reference and backl!round:
At the HRA meeting in December, the commissioners took a "to think about it" approach
relative to the purchase of the Froslie property. This decision was based on the fact that the
Springborg property had sold and the HRA's interest to purchase both properties.
According to Conroy via Wright County documents, the Springborg property sold on a
Contract for Deed. The amount subject to the CFD is $250,000, which would not include a
down-payment. Thus, according to Conroy, the HRA knows the sale price was at least
$250,000.

agenda in February.

BRA Agenda - 02/07/07
11. Reports:
A. Economic DeveloDment ReDort.
Leads: Via verbal commitment Walker In-Store has agreed to purchase Lot 2, Block 1, Otter
Creek 3'd Addition. The company proposes to construct a 10,240 sq ft building and will
employ 11 full-time permanent people at an average hourly wage of at least $18.81 per hour
without benefits. I'm waiting for return of the executed Preliminary Development Agreement
and deposit prior to engaging Ehlers and Kennedy & Graven. Spring construction.
* Big Lake Htg & PIg - Call from lender looking at $1 land price. Suggested other land
options in Monti.
* Karlburger Foods - I visited their new facility on January 23 with Mike Maher. It is a great
project and certainly a step-up for them. Project on schedule for completion end of February
and move-in soon after.
* 43,000 sq ft FSI building for sale - I talked with Jack Peach on January 17. 16,000 sq ft
warehouse, 12,000 sq ft office, and 15,000 production/open work space. 7.5 acres.
* 500,000 sq. ft. manufacturing user (wet industry). Sixteen sites identified. Don't know name
of company or much else. Only listed as a lead. Monticello currently does not have water and
wastewater treatment capacity to accommodate their needs.
* Local contractor - on behalf of manufacturer - looking for 10-15 acres, 100,000 sq ft
building. 1-19-07
* Another local contractor - on behalf of clients - looking for land for 32,000 sq ft facility and
100,000 sq ft facility.
BRE (Business Retention & Expansion):
* Precision Technologies, Inc. - Thanks to everyone who attended the Welcome/Open House
on January 18. Photo booklet mailed January 26.
* Washburn Computer Group - Moved in. Isn't it good to see cars in the parking lot? They'll
be in City Hall to expand parking lot and are interested in excess city land when and if Fallon
Avenue is re-aligned.
* I sat in on the meetings with individual businesses and WSB, Inc. (Bret Weiss and Shibani
Bisson). WSB did a fine job at explaining the proposed improvements for along Chelsea Road.
,. ttnllul _! !6Jm11SIttB liB ]'lre1"Med ll) 'NSB': On January 22, the Council accepted the
Feasibility Study without the pathway and lighting as an option paid for by fees and called for a
public hearing date of February 12.
* I attended a meeting between the Mayor and Don Tomann, UMC. Don expressed his
concerns about a potential re-zone of the property to the west from II-A to Commercial
(retail).
* Damn Lahr, Xcel Energy, has taken a new position within the company. He will now be in
the transmission power line division rather than community relations manager. He'll remain a
resident of Monticello and wishes to continue as a member of the HRA and EDA. For those of
you who knew Arnie Hendrickson, Minnegasco, he is retiring after 34 years with the company.
I
.
BRA Agenda - 02/07/07
* Attended the annual meeting of the Wright County Economic Development Partnership on
January 19. I'm no longer on the Board of Directors as I maximized my term limit. The
Partnership has matured and provides educational seminars to members and businesses. Prior
to being a board member, I helped to initiate the formation of the Partnership.
* Attended the first Comp Plan Task Force meeting of January 11. The next meeting of
February 1 will focus on industrial. Members were given some homework questions.
* Attended the Manufacturer's & Food Processors Round Table Discussion on January 31.
Tips for dealing with a multi-generational workforce and new apprentice training program.
* Paul Mastey and myself attended the annual Public Finance Seminar, February 1 and 2, put
