Lucille Bryant Present
Guy Glover AJsent
Greg Schmit Present
Ronald Smith Present
3. Approval of Minutes
The minutes were approved as submitted.
4. Approval of Agenda
The agenda was accepted as proposed.
5. Communications
A. The membership was instructec to call Chairman Fischer (777 -5037) or
Staff (770-4560) if they canrot attend a meeting.
B. Beginning with the February meeting, the west gate (across from Van
Dyke Avenue) will be the only entrance open in the evening for the
Public Works facility.
C. The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) approved Sam Cave's Ivy
Place Development for an allocation of 35 mortgages financed from tax -
exempt mortgage revenue bond proceeds.
Woodmark Inc.'s Bennington Woods Development was approved as an
alternative. They would receive funding if one of the approved projects
could not proceed.
D. The application for the Maplewood's first -time home program was submitted
to the MHFA on January 3, 1983. A local contribution of 15.8% or
$1,147,547 was proposed. This contribution will be generated from loan
originator and developer commitment fees, seller fees and the tax -
i ncrement generated from eaci of the seniors' developments. At this time,
it appears that Maplewood's pplication is the strongest of the six
submitted.
6. Committee Reports
None
7. Unfinished Business
A. First -time Home Buyer Program (FTHB)
Commissioner Schmit withdrew rom the discussion.
The membership refined the selection criteria for FTHB new construction

1. Preference will be given in the following order for location:
a. In -fill development within a "target area" (Attachment A).
No purchase price ceiling other than the $94,380 required
by statute will be imsosed.
b. In -fill development o tside of a "target area." The purchase
price must be $75,680 (1982) or less.
c. Non in -fill developme t. The purchase price ceiling must be
$75,680 (1982) or les•.
Note: In -fill development is defined as the construction of a
single or doub e dwelling on an existing lot. Subdivision
of an existing lot into no more than two parcels will be
permissable.
2. Unit mix -- non - infill development
Preference will be given io developments including a mix of units
affordable to persons ear ing more than and less than an adjusted
income of $31,500.
Notes: (a) Income credits are $750 per adult up to two persons and
$500 per child dependent.
(b) Federal law reouires that for the first six months,
100% of a deve oper's allocation of mortgage money must
be for units a fordable to persons within an adjusted

B. 1983 Small Cities Development Grart
A three -part housing rehabilitaticn program proposal was accepted by the
membership. A description of each program proposal is given in Attachment B.
Staff will submit an application to the State later in the month. If
approved, the programs would probably be initiated in April, 1983.
8. New Business
A. Metro HRA-- Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program
The membership recommended that the City Council authorize the Metro HRA to
administer the rental rehabilitation program in Maplewood. This program is
meantto compliment the existing Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program for
rental units which is presently administered in Maplewood by the Metro HRA.
B. HRA Annual Report
The membership agreed the objectives for 1983 should include:
1. Continue to facilitate the development of Maplewood's Senior Citizen/
First -Time Home Buyer tandem housing program.
2. Develop a plan for assembling substandard tax - forfeited lots to sell to
adjoining property owners. The objectives would be to eliminate the
opportunity for construction on these parcels, resolve any maintenance
problems that may exist, and ring the parcels back onto the tax rolls.
3. Seek Council approval of a zo ing code amendment to reduce the minimum
floor area requirement for bi level dwellings, establish a minimum for
tri -level dwellings and elimi ate the minimum requirements set forth in
the zoning code for all attac ed housing.
3-
4. Continue to participate in the following Metro HRA administered
programs:
a. Section 8 Rental Assistance -- Existing Construction
b. Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation of Rental Dwellings
c. Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program
d. MHFA Home Improvement Loan Program for low income home owners
5. Oversee the administration of a housing rehabilitation program for
rental and owner- occupied structures to complete the Metro HRA
programs, if Small Cities Development Grant funding is approved for
the program.
6. Revise the Housing Plan to eliminate reliance on discontinued federal
programs. Programs should also be developed to expend recaptured
monies from the Senior Citizen /FTHB program and deferred loans made
with Small Cities Development Grant funds.
7. Evaluate the feasibility of establishing a commercial
rehabilitation program in Maplewood. This program would entail the
sale of tax - exempt bonds to create a below market rate rehabilitation
loan pool for area businesses.
8. Evaluate the need for an ordinance to control the conversion of
apartments to condominium or cooperative residences.
9. Submit articles to the Maplewood in Motion to advertise the
availability of various housing - related programs.
10. Survey the present condition of homes that were rehabilitated under
the home improvement grant program. The objective would be to
determine if this program was effective in creating an incentive to
continue to maintain these properties.
11. Monitor any subsidized housing proposals for consistency with Maple -
wood's Housing Plan.
12. Hold a joint meeting with the City Council in April to review our
year's performance and to outline a work program for the coming year.
9. Commission Presentations
None

4. Approval of the Agenda
The agenda was accepted as proposed.
5. Communications
A. Fair Share Housing Goal Revision:
The Metropolitan Council housing staff is currently working on the
needs analysis. They anticipate . preliminary draft of the pro-
posed goals to be available for discussion in March 1984.
B. Home Energy Loan Program Allocation:
Maplewood, together with Eastern eights State Bank, received a
$30,000 allocation of home improvement loan funds to be used for
energy conservation improvements. These funds were received in
November 1983. From November through January 31, 1984 these funds
are available only to the residen s of the Farrell Street neighbor-
hood just north of the 3M complex After February 1, any eligible
Maplewood resident may receive a oan with these funds. The loan
interest is 7.5% for a household ith a $24,000 or less adjusted
annual income and 8.5% for higher income households.
C. Tax Exempt Financing Status:
The Ullman legislation which had .uthorized the use of tax - exempt
mortgage financing for housing and commercial rehabilitation programs
expired on December 31, 1983. So e form of new enabling legislation
is expected later in 1984. Until hat time, several of the more
popular housing rehabilitation and first -time home buyer mortgage
programs will not be able to be fu ded.
D. Rental Dwelling Inventory:
A listing of the location, owners, monthly rent and number of units
by bedroom type is being compiled. Information on the potential for
conversion to owner - occupied unit. is also being requested. Twenty -
six complexes, accounting for 201 units, exist in Maplewood according
to the Ramsey County Assessor's r-cords. Most appear to rent for less
than the moderate income ceiling of $525 /month. Conversion to owner -
occupied units is being considere• by at least two of the owners.
E. Fair Share Housing Court Decision:
In 1983 the New Jersey Supreme Court reaffirmed its 1975 landmark
decision requiring suburbs to of irmatively use government subsidies
and innovative zoning techniques to assure that lower income housing
is actually built. These cases .re referred to as Mt. Laurel I and II,
respectively.
6. Unfinished Business
A. Condominium Conversion Notification Ordinance
At least one conversion has occu red in Maplewood. The 190 unit complex
at McKnight Road and Londin Lane has converted and is referred to as the
McKnight Townhomes. The owners •f two of the other complexes, accounting
for 39 units, are also consideri g converting to owner - occupied units.
Maplewood does not appear to hav: the statutory required shortage of low
and moderate income rental units to adopt an ordinance to regulate these
conversions. A notification ord nance should be considered to permit
the City to gather data on how conversions are effecting the achievement
of housing plan goals.
The membership deferred action o recommending the adoption of a notifica-
tion requirement until the issue is discussed with Council at the annual
meeting in March.
B. 1980 Census Data
Preparation of a one -page summar of the 1980 Neighborhood Census was
discussed. No action was taken.
7. New Business
A. 1984 -1985 Objectives
The membership agreed to the following work program for 1984-1985;
1. Hold a joint meeting with Council in March to review the annual report
and proposed 1984 -85 objectives. Items proposed for discussion were:
(1) whether to require developers to notify the City of the conversion
of rental units to owner- oc•upancy, (2) first -time home buyer program
status and opportunities, a d (3) the need to study solar energy issues,
such as aesthetic problems .ssociated with the placement of solar
collectors on existing home -, whether the location and height of solar
windmills should be regulat:d, whether a developer should be given credit
for designing a development to accommodate active and passive solar
energy technologies.
2. Revise the Housing section of the Comprehensive Plan. The programs
proposed to achieve low and moderate and modest cost housing goals
are primarily based upon federal programs which are no longer available.
3. Adopt a plan for transferring the ownership of substandard, tax - forfeit
parcels to adjoining property owners. (The inventory of parcels and
much of the ground work with the County were completed in 1983.) The
objectives would be to eliminate the requested for construction on
these parcels, resolve any rraintenance problems that may exist, and
bring the parcels back on to the tax rolls.
4. Continue to participate in the following Metro HRA administered programs:
a. Section 8 Rental Assistance -- Existing Construction
b. Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation of Rental Dwellings
c. Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program
d. MHFA Home Improvement Loan Program for Low Income Home Owners
5. Seek out partnerships similar to that currently with Eastern Heights
State Bank to deliver home improvement loan programs at no expense to
the City other than nominal up -front staff time.
6. Submit articles to Maplewood in Motion to advertise the availability of
various housing - related programs.
7. Monitor any subsidized housing proposals for consistency with the
Housing Plan.
8. Survey the present condition of homes that were rehabilitated under
the home improvement grant program. The objective would be to determine
if this program was effective in creating an incentive to continue to
maintain these properties.
B. 1983 -84 Annual Report
The exhibit material for the 1983 -84 report was presented for review and
comment. Chairman Fischer will d aft the cover letter for the February
meeting.
C. Resignation of Commissioners Brya t and Zugschwert
Commissioner Larson moved and Com issioner Schmit seconded to approve a
letter of appreciation for each o these resigned commissioners.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Manager
FROM: Associate Planner /HRA Staff Liaison -- Johnson
SUBJECT: Joint Meeting HRA and City Council
DATE: June 1, 1983
Request
The HRA requests the City Council to set a joint meeting date for the latter
part of June or early July.
Background
Due principally to changed market conditions, Health Resources, Inc. and
Woodmark, Inc. have requested the city to drop consideration of the $7 million
bond issue for the first -time home buyer program. They have suggested a
scaled -down program as an alternative, which would be discussed at the joint
meeting.
The developers need direction from the HRA and Council as soon as possible
in order to be able to move forward with the creation of the tax increment
district yet this year.
A second agenda item would be to discuss the HRA's recommendations for
reductions in the present minimum floor area requirements for single dwellings.
Recommendation
Set a joint meeting with the HRA for late June or early July.

A. Hazel Ridge Planned Unit Development Amendment
Fred Hoisington was in attendance to explain Health Resources,
Inc.'s reasoning for requesting that the tunnel proposed with
the original site plan be eliminated.
Commissioner Schmit moved and Commissioner Zugschwert seconded
to recommend that the City Council amend the Hazel Ridge plan-
ned unit development to el'minate the proposed tunnel between
the proposed seniors' cooperative residence and the existing
community service center, on the basis that:
1. There are no essential services located in the community
service building that are normally found in similar senior
residences.
2. There are no ordinance provisions that require the physical
connection between the existing and proposed structure.
3. The applicant's market studies show that the tunnel would be
an impedient to the marketing of the units.

tunnel will be incorporated in the proposed seniors' coopera-
tive structure.
Motion carried unanimously.
B. Tandem Senior Citizen /First Time Home Buyer (FTHB) Program
Alternative
David Briggs and Ted DeZurik of Woodmark, Inc. explained their
proposal for proceeding with a modified senior citizen /first -time
home buyer program. This odification came about because both
Woodmark and Health Resour es, Inc. notified the City on May 3,
1983 that they no longer viewed the $7 million FTHB bond issue
as attractive. On May 3, the HRA required a modified FTHB program
to proceed with tax increm:nt assistance.
Woodmark reasoned that emp asis of the overall program should be
placed on lowering the cost of the seniors' units rather than assist-
ing them to sell their exiting homes.
The HRA recapped their objectives for originally proposing the
seniors housing program. he membership felt that the present
proposal had departed subsiantially from the original objectives
in terms of unit cost (orioinally $65,000 to $75,000 up to $85,000
to $95,000), limited assis ance to first -time home buyers, and a
questionable lower age lim t for purchase of the seniors units (a
public purpose question of the need to subsidized persons 45+ years
of age whose disposable in and equity position would most likely
be near or at its peak).
Commissioner Bryant moved ;nd Commissioner Schmit seconded to reject
the Woodmark proposal as o tlined in the June 9, 1983 staff report.
Motion carried unanimously

A. Minimum Floor Area Require ents
Chairman Fischer agreed to provide slides for the joint meeting in
July with Council to illustrate the recommended minimum floor areas.
A representative of Edina Realty agreed to be in attendance to
answer marketing - related suestions regarding attached and detached
dwellings.
B. Joint Meeting with City Council
July 6, 1983 was agreed u'on in accordance with Council's preference.
8. C. Plan Amendment - -RH to LSC (Gervais Avenue West of White Bear Avenue)
Commissioner Schmit moved and Commissioner Zugschwert seconded to
concur with the staff report recommendation of June 9, 1983 to retain
the present RH, residenti;1 high density land use designation, based
upon the following justif' cation:
The land use element of Maplewood's comprehensive plan is based in
part on the housing and human rights goals contained in the plan. These
goals respect the right of each in.ividual to live in decent housing, and
provide for a maximum choice of ho ing types and location, both rental
and ownership.
Our dedication to these goals i. presently being tested. Recognition
must be given to the fact that Mapl-wood's densities for all classes of
residential areas are lower than th- average density in similar classifi-
cations in the metropolitan area. further, for a variety of reasons, over
the past years a shift has occurred in the number of acres available for
the various housing densities.
% of :ores % of acres % of acres
R . I . R.M. R.H.
Original 7 17 6
Present 81 13 6
Further erosion of the land available for higher densities will be occur-
ring in the near future as a result of council initiated plan amendments.
If the integrity of the plan, and i s commitment to the human rights and
housing goals is to be retained, la d plan changes which remove acreages
from any density should be counter- •alanced by a corresponding move of
other acres into the density. Thus when considering a change from one
land use to another, equal consideration must also be given to what other
location would be more appropriate or the existing designation.
The site north of Gervais Avenue, w:st of White Bear Avenue, is convenient
to a park and a church, and would b; excellent for multiple dwellings.
Traffic can flow on to Gervais Aven e, not through a residential neighbor-
hood. The topography, trees and proposed trail can act as a buffer to the
north. Locating another RH site wh ch has these characteristics would not
be easy. For these reasons, the HRA is in agreement with the staff report
that the site is well- suited for residential development and should remain
planned as such.
Motion carried unanimously.
In the event the Council determines that the On mCnu'ment from
RH to LSC is warranted, Co issioner Schmit moved and Commissioner
Zugschwert seconded to reco mend that Council table any further
action until the impact on housing plan goals is evaluated.
Motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Schmit was req ested to attend the Council's 6 -27 -83
meeting to present the abov- recommendations. Commissioner Zugschwert
agreed to serve as an alter ate in the event Commissioner Schmit
cannot attend.

A. Reduction of Minimum Floor A ea Requirements
1. Double and Multiple Dwellings
Mayor Greavu and Council ember Bastian were receptive to the
HRA's recommendation of 475 sq. ft., 650 sq. ft., 785 sq. ft.
and 940 sq. ft. for one through four - bedroom units. Council -
members Anderson and Juker felt the requirements should be higher.
A, compromise was arrived at: 580 sq. ft., 740 sq. ft., 860 sq.
ft. and 1040 sq. ft. for one through four - bedroom units. This
set of requirements woull also apply to all double and multiple
dwelling units, unlike i the past where individual requirements
existed for townhouse, a.artment /condominium and double dwellings.
It was acknowledged tha the present code provision requiring
120 sq. ft. of storage area in addition to the minimum required
area should be retained. Councilmember Bastian expressed concern
that the suggested requirements were too large.
2. Single Dwellings
Mayor Greavu and Councilmembers Anderson and Bastian accepted
the HRA's proposed minimun foundation area requirements of
720 sq. feet - -12 story; 816 sq. ft. - -bi level; 765 sq. ft. - -tri
level and 520 sq. ft-- two - story. Councilmember Juker thought
these requirements, excluding the tri -level proposal were too
small. No revised foundation areas were proposed.

8. New Business
A. Tax Exempt Mortgage Revenue Binding Authority:
It was explained that this bonding authority should be relinquished,
since the first -time home buyer /senior citizen program will not be
pursued. A local contribution of 15.8 percent would require a tax -
increment district. The entire $7.25 million authorized would also
most likely have to be issued. With an improved housing market, it
was suggested that council take a "wait and see" attitude until
December 1984 before considering a tax - increment district for family
housing. A letter was authorized to be sent to the Minnesota Housing
Finance Agency to relinquish Maplewood's 1983 allocation of tax -
exempt bonding authority.
B. Election of Officers:
Tabled until all five members are present
9. Next Meeting Date
The body decided not to meet in August unless absolutely necessary. The
next regular meeting was set for Tuesday, September 13, 1983.
