G1
The city’s Gladstone Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan states: “Key components of the Master
Plan include intense development at the core of the Frost Ave and English Streets and integrated
land use patterns with 650 new housing units.”
Background:
Tax Increment Financing
On July 22, 2019, the city adopted a modified enabling resolution for the Maplewood Economic
Development Authority which grants the EDA authority to use tax increment financing. Tax
increment financing is a funding tool that takes advantage of the increase in property taxes that
result from redevelopment. The increase in tax revenue is a result of the investment in the property
and the resulting increase in property taxes. TIF captures only the increase in taxes and not the
current or base amount of taxes that are currently paid. The increment can be used by the EDA to
repay debt, obligations, or certain costs incurred by the city as a result of the development. For this
application, the City would issue a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) TIF Note to the developer for costs
associated with the redevelopment project. The PAYGO TIF Note would obligate the city to pay a
portion of the annually generated tax increment over a specified period of time. The goal of the
proposed TIF district is to support redevelopment of the site that would not occur “but for” the
financial assistance from the EDA.
Proposed Development
The developer, Reuter Walton (also referred to as Frost Avenue Group, LLC), is proposing to
demolish the former Maplewood Marine building at 1136 Frost Avenue which would be combined
with the vacant property at 1160 Frost Avenue in order to redevelop the site into a market-rate
apartment building. The building would be five stories of above-ground wood-framed construction;
and a floor of underground parking. The entire building would be approximately 237,993 gross total
square feet, with an approximately 39,044 square foot footprint.
The 150-unit building includes the following approximate unit mix: 13 percent studios/alcoves, 33
percent one-bedrooms, 15 percent one-bedrooms with a den, 28 percent two-bedroom, and 11
percent three-bedrooms. Parking is programmed to be 1.62 stalls per unit, with at least one stall
per unit within a secured parking garage.
The proposed building will be constructed with contrasting light and dark cement lap siding and
wood-look lap siding accent boards. A brick façade will be used on lower levels, and cementitious
trim boards will be used throughout the building. Amenities will include a clubroom, fitness room,
roof deck, outdoor pool, pickle ball court, and dog run.
TIF District and TIF Plan
The first resolution before the EDA would create a new redevelopment TIF district by adopting a tax
increment financing plan. This plan outlines the district boundaries, objectives and policies, fiscal
impacts, and the maximum budget for the district. The TIF plan itself does not grant any specific TIF
assistance or city financial obligations to support development within the district. The specific terms
of the TIF assistance are provided in the development agreement between the EDA and the
developer.
Term Sheet
On May 8, 2023, the EDA considered and approved a revised term sheet with Reuter Walton to
support the redevelopment project. The agreement includes the following terms:
The developer will construct a 5-story building with approximately 150 units of market-rate
rental housing and related amenities.
The developer will acquire all of the redevelopment property by June 30, 2023.
EDA Special Meeting Packet Page Number 4 of 103
G1
The developer will commence construction by December 31, 2023 and complete
construction by December 31, 2025.
The developer will pay a $54,684 park dedication fee to the city.
The EDA will reimburse the developer through available tax increment for up to a total of
$4,500,000 (present value) of qualified costs for the project. Qualified costs include
acquisition, demolition, remediation, site improvement, and infrastructure costs.
The EDA will make payments to the developer through a PAYGO TIF Note from the
annually available tax increment over a maximum term of 14 years at a rate the lesser of
5.25% or the rate of the developer’s first mortgage lien.
The public assistance is subject to a lookback upon completion of construction. If the total
development costs actually incurred is less than the amount of the estimated total
development costs, the present value of the public assistance will be reduced by 50% of the
difference.
Development Agreement
City staff and our legal and financial advisors have negotiated the attached development agreement
which outlines the final details of the financial assistance.
The development agreement provides $4.5 million of present value of financial assistance to the
developer.
The proposed agreement includes the following additional terms:
The EDA will issue a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) Note in the principal amount of $4,500,000.
The note will bear simple, non-compounding interest at the lesser of 5.25% or the rate of the
developer’s first mortgage.
The note is issued for reimbursement of qualifying costs, which include site acquisition,
public infrastructure, site preparation and site improvements, not to exceed the amount of
the note.
The EDA would pledge the tax increment generated from the project for payment of the
principal and any accrued interest.
The EDA would only pay the developer from increment annually generated and nothing
more. If the amount of increment annually generated is not enough to pay the PAYGO Note,
the EDA is not obligated to pay the difference. The developer assumes the financial risk.
The term of the note is a maximum of 14 years.
The developer will pay a park fee in the amount of $54,684.
The developer will commence construction by December 1, 2023 and complete construction
by December 31, 2025.
The developer will construct the building in accordance to the Green Building Code and
divert 75% of the demolition materials from landfills.
Interfund Loan Resolution
It is also recommended that the EDA approves an interfund loan from the EDA’s general fund to
pay any upfront costs of establishing and administering the TIF district and negotiating and drafting
the development agreement not already paid by the developer. Should the EDA need to draw on
the interfund loan, it will be paid back by the EDA’s retained share of the tax increments set aside to
pay for administrative expenses.

CONTRACT FOR PRIVATE REDEVELOPMENT
This Contract for Private Redevelopment (the “Agreement”) is made this _____ day of
___________, 2023, by and between the Maplewood Economic Development Authority, a public
body corporate and politic under the laws of Minnesota, having its principal office at 1830 County
Road B E, Maplewood, Minnesota 55109-2702 (“Maplewood Economic Development Authority”
or “MEDA”), and Frost Avenue Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company having its
principal office at 4450 Excelsior Boulevard, Suite 400, St. Louis Park, Minnesota 55416, (the
“Redeveloper”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, MEDA finds there to exist within residential areas of the community
properties that have a blighting influence on surrounding properties and are structurally
substandard due to their poor physical condition or functional obsolescence and others with
remnants of previous developments which have not been completely removed and which, because
of those conditions, threaten the health, safety and welfare of the community; and
WHEREAS, MEDA finds that it is in the public interest, helpful for the tax base and
beneficial for the health, safety and welfare of the community as a whole to remove structurally
substandard buildings and to redevelop those properties and adjacent parcels in ways which will
expand the housing options available in the community; and
WHEREAS, MEDAfinds that, due to market conditions which exist today and are likely
to persist for the foreseeable future, the private sector alone is at times not able to accomplish
redevelopment of the type needed and, therefore, such will not occur without public intervention;
and
WHEREAS, in order to foster the type of redevelopment described above, the city of
Maplewood established Development District No. 1 and adopted a Development District Program
to implement the goals and objectives thereof,all pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, sections 469.124
through 469.133; and
WHEREAS, to implement the goals of the Development District Program, MEDA
established Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-17 and adopted a tax increment financing plan
related thereto, all pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, sections 469.174 through 469.1794; and
WHEREAS, the Redeveloper has proposed to redevelop the properties located at 1136 and
1160 Frost Avenue E., 0 Phalen Place, and intervening rights-of-way in Maplewood, Minnesota
through a project which MEDA believes is in the vital and best interests of Maplewood and the
health, safety and welfare of its residents, and in accord with the public purposes and provisions
of the applicable state and local laws and requirements for which Development District No. 1 and
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-17 were established.

G1, Attachment 2

will provide for the registration of ownership of the Note and the registration of transfers
and exchanges of the Note.
(ii) Upon surrender for transfer of the Note duly endorsed by the registered
owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an
attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar will authenticate
and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, a new Note of a like
aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Note will not be transferred to any person other than an affiliate, or other
related entity, of the owner unless MEDA has been provided with an investment letter in a
form substantially similar to the investment letter submitted by the owner or a certificate
of the transferor, in a form satisfactory to MEDA, that the transfer is exempt from

of and interest on the Note and for all other purposes, and all the payments so made to any
registered owner or upon the owner’s order will be valid and effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability of MEDA upon the Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(vi) For every transfer or exchange of the Note, the Registrar may impose a
charge upon the owner thereof sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee, or
other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange.

Registrar will deliver a new Note of like amount, maturity dates and tenor in exchange and

the Executive Director and will be executed on behalf of MEDA by the signatures of its President
and Executive Director. In case any officer whose signature appears on the Note ceases to be the

actual costs to MEDA for comparison with the estimated costs listed on Exhibit F. If the actual
total redevelopment costs are more than $50,000 lower than the estimated total redevelopment
costs listed in Exhibit F, the principal amount of the Note will be reduced by one-half of the amount
by which the estimated costs exceed the actual costs. The Note will not be issued until MEDA has
compared actual with estimated total redevelopment costs as described herein and adjusted the
principal amount of the Note, if necessary.

requirements of this Agreement, construction of the Minimum Improvements will necessitate
compliance with the City Approvals and possibly approval of other governmental agencies. To
the extent such approvals have not already been obtained, the Redeveloper agrees to submit all
applications for and pursue to their conclusion all other approvals needed prior to constructing the
Minimum Improvements.
(b) The Developer agrees to pay the City all fees required to construct the Minimum
Improvements, including plan review fee, building permit fee and state surcharges, in the amounts
provided under the City’s then-current fee schedule. The Minimum Improvements and
Redevelopment Property must meet the requirements of the Maplewood Green Building Program.

75 percent of the materials removed must be diverted from landfills. A full report detailing the
de-construction procedure must be submitted with the permit. The County Department of Health
must be notified at least 10 days prior to issuance of the de-construction permit.
Section 4.2. Commencement and Completion of Construction. The Redeveloper agrees
to acquire all of the Redevelopment Property in fee by June 30, 2023. Subject to Unavoidable
Delays, the Redeveloper shall commence construction of the Minimum Improvements by no later

Redevelopment Property by demolition, grading, excavation or other physical preparation work.
The Minimum Improvements shall be Substantially Complete by no later than December 31, 2025.
Section 4.3. Certificate of Completion. After Substantial Completion of the Minimum
Improvements in accordance with all terms of this Agreement and at the written request of the

on the Redevelopment Property are damaged or destroyed before issuance of a Certificate of
Completion, the Redeveloper agrees, for itself and its successorsand assigns, to reconstruct or
cause the reconstruction of the Minimum Improvements on the Redevelopment Property within

reconstructed in accordance with the original construction plans, or such modifications thereto as
may be agreed to by the City and MEDA.

all times prior to the Termination Date, MEDA shall have the right to sue the Redeveloper or its

from or a deferral of property tax on the Minimum Improvements or Redevelopment Property
pursuant to any law, or transfer or permit transfer of the Minimum Improvements or
Redevelopment Property to any entity whose ownership or operation of the property would result
in the Minimum Improvements or Redevelopment Property being exempt from real property taxes
under State law.
(b)The Redeveloper agrees to notify MEDA within 10 days of filing any Tax Appeal.
If as of any Payment Date, any Tax Appeal is then pending, MEDA will continue to make
payments on the TIF Note but only to the extent that the Available Tax Increment relates to
property taxes paid with respect to the market value not being challenged as part of the Tax Appeal,
as determined by MEDA in its sole discretion. MEDA will withhold the Available Tax Increment
related to property taxes paid with respect to the market value being challenged as part of the Tax
Appeal, as determined by MEDA in its sole discretion. MEDA will apply any withheld amount
to the extent not reduced as a result of the Tax Appeal promptly after the Tax Appeal is fully
resolved and the amount of Available Tax Increment, as applicable, attributable to the disputed tax
payments is finalized.

tax appeal regarding the market value of the Redevelopment Property or the Minimum
Improvements, regardless of the then-current market value, during the final three years prior to the

represents and agrees that its use of the Redevelopment Property and its other undertakings
pursuant to the Agreement, are, and will be, used for the purpose of construction of the Minimum
Improvements and not for speculation in land holding. The Redeveloper represents and agrees
that, prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Completion regarding the Minimum Improvements,
there shall be no Sale of the Redevelopment Property or the Minimum Improvements constructed
thereon nor shall the Redeveloper suffer any such Sale to be made, without the prior written
approval of MEDA, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
provided however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Redeveloper shall be entitled to lease units
in the apartment building to third parties without the prior written approval of MEDA. As a
condition of approval of any such sale in cases where such approval is required, MEDA shall
require, at a minimum, that the proposed transferee shall have entered into an agreement whereby
the transferee expressly assumes all of the Redeveloper’s obligations under this Agreement. Any
such agreement shall include MEDA as a party and otherwise be in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to MEDA. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Redeveloper shall not

Completion.

thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be
deemed expedient. In order to entitle MEDA or the Redeveloper to exercise any remedy reserved
to it, it shall not be necessary to give notice, other than such notice as may be required in Article
IX of this Agreement.

MEDAwill have no obligation to pay principal of and interest on this Note on each
Payment Date from any source other than Available Tax Increment, and the failure of MEDA to

interest that may remain after the final Payment on February 1, 2039.
4.Optional Prepayment. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under

MEDA’s obligation to make any payments under this Note will be discharged upon the occurrence

RESOLUTION _________
MAPLEWOOD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING INTERFUND LOAN FOR
ADVANCE OF CERTAIN COSTS IN CONNECTION WITH
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 1-17
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the Maplewood Economic Development
Authority (“MEDA”) as follows:
Section 1. Background.
1.01. MEDA has established Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-17 (the “TIF District”),
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 through 469.1794, as amended (the “TIF Act”).
1.02. MEDA has and will incur certain costs (the “Preliminary Costs”) related to the TIF District
prior to such time as tax increment will be available to pay for such costs.
1.03. Pursuant to Section 469.178, subdivision 7 of the TIF Act, MEDA is authorized to advance
or loan money from its general fund or any other fund from which such advances may be legally authorized in
order to finance the Preliminary Costs.
1.04. MEDA will loan funds from its general fund (the “General Fund”), or any other fund
designated by MEDA, to finance the Preliminary Costs in accordance with the terms of this resolution (the
“Interfund Loan”).
Section 2. Interfund Loan Authorized.
2.01. MEDA hereby authorizes the advance of up to $50,000 from the General Fund or other
funds or so much thereof as may be required to pay the Preliminary Costs. MEDA shall reimburse itself
for such advances together with interest at the rate stated below. Interest accrues on the principal amount
from the date of each advance. The maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged is limited to the
greater of the rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 and Section 549.09 as of the date
the loan or advance is authorized, unless the written agreement states that the maximum interest rate will
fluctuate as the interest rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09 are
from time to time adjusted. The interest rate shall be 5.0 percent and will not fluctuate.
2.02. Principal and interest (the “Payments”) on the Interfund Loan shall be paid semiannually
on each February 1 and August 1 (each a “Payment Date”), commencing on the first Payment Date on
which MEDA has Available Tax Increment (defined below), or on any other dates determined by MEDA’s
Executive Director, through the date of last receipt of tax increment from the TIF District.
2.03. Payments on the Interfund Loan are payable solely from Available Tax Increment, which
shall mean, on each Payment Date, tax increment available after other obligations of the TIF District have
been paid, or as determined by MEDA’s Executive Director, generated in the preceding six months with
respect to the property within the TIF District and remitted to MEDA by Ramsey County, Minnesota, all
in accordance with the TIF Act. Payments shall be applied first to accrued interest, and then to unpaid
principal. Payments on the Interfund Loan may be subordinated to any outstanding or future bonds or notes
issued by MEDA and secured in whole or in part with tax increment from the TIF District.

2.04. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under the Interfund Loan are prepayable
in whole or in part at any time by MEDA without premium or penalty. No partial prepayment shall affect
the amount or timing of any other regular payment otherwise required to be made under the Interfund Loan.
2.05. The Interfund Loan is evidence of an internal borrowing by MEDA in accordance with
Section 469.178, subdivision 7 of the TIF Act, and is a limited obligation payable solely from Available
Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof under this resolution. This Interfund Loan and the interest
hereon shall not be deemed to constitute a general obligation of the State of Minnesota or any political
subdivision thereof, including, without limitation, MEDA or the city of Maplewood. Neither the State of
Minnesota nor any political subdivision thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the
Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto except out of Available Tax Increment, and neither the full
faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof is pledged
to the payment of the principal of or interest on the Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto. MEDA
shall have no obligation to pay any principal amount of the Interfund Loan or accrued interest thereon,
which may remain unpaid after the final Payment Date.
2.06. MEDA may at any time determine to forgive the outstanding principal amount and accrued
interest on the Interfund Loan to the extent permissible under law.
2.07. MEDA may from time to time amend the terms of this resolution to the extent permitted
by law, including without limitation amendment to the payment schedule and the interest rate; provided,
however, that the interest rate may not be increased above the maximum specified in Section 469.178,
subdivision 7 of the TIF Act.
2.08. MEDA officials and consultants are hereby authorized and directed to execute any
documents or take any actions necessary or convenient to carry out the intent of this resolution.
Section 3. Effective Date. This resolution is effective upon approval.

Part 1: Executive Summary
Purpose of the Evaluation
LHB was hired by the City of Maplewood to inspect and evaluate the properties within a Tax Increment Financing
Redevelopment District (ÐTIF DistrictÑ) proposed to be established by the City. The proposed TIF District is located at the
corner of Frost Avenue East and Phalen Place North (Diagram 1). The purpose of LHBÓs work is to determine whether the
proposed TIF District meets the statutory requirements for coverage, and whether one (1) buildingon three (3) parcels and
one ROW area, located within the proposed TIF District, meetsthe qualifications required for a Redevelopment District.
Diagram 1: Proposed TIF District
Scope of Work
The proposed TIF District consists of three (3) parcels and one ROW area with one (1) structure and one (1) outbuilding. One
(1) building was inspected on February 15, 2022. Building Code and Condition Deficiency reports for the buildings that were

Conclusion
After inspecting and evaluating the properties within the proposed TIF District and applying current statutory criteria for a
Redevelopment District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10, it is our professional opinion that the
proposed TIF District qualifies as a Redevelopment District because:
The proposed TIF District has a coverage calculation of 100 percent which is above the 70 percent requirement.
100 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard which is above the 50 percent requirement.
The substandard buildings are reasonably distributed.
The remainder of this report describes our process and findings in detail.
Part 2: Minnesota Statute 469.174, Subdivision 10
Requirements
The properties were inspected in accordance with the following requirements under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
Subdivision 10(c), which states:
Interior Inspection
ÐThe municipality may not make such determination \[that the building is structurally substandard\] without an interior
inspection of the property...Ñ
Exterior Inspection and Other Means
ÐAn interior inspection of the property is not required, if the municipality finds that
(1)the municipality or authority is unable to gain access to the property after using its best efforts to obtain
permission from the party that owns or controls the property; and
(2)the evidence otherwise supports a reasonable conclusion that the building is structurally substandard.Ñ
Documentation
ÐWritten documentation of the findings and reasons why an interior inspection was not conducted must be made and
retained under section 469.175, subdivision 3(1).Ñ
Qualification Requirements
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10 (a) (1)requires three tests for occupied parcels:
1.COVERAGE TEST
a.Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(a)(1) states:
Ðparcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, or paved or
gravel parking lotsÈÑ
b.The coverage required by the parcel to be considered occupied is defined under Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174, Subdivision 10(e), which states:
ÐFor purposes of this subdivision, a parcel is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots,
or other similar structures unless 15 percent of the area of the parcel contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved or
gravel parking lots, or other similar structures.Ñ

2. CONDITION OF BUILDINGS TEST
a.Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(a) states:
ÐÈand more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree
requiring substantial renovation or clearance;Ñ
b.Structurally substandard is defined under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(b), which states:
ÐFor purposes of this subdivision, Òstructurally substandardÓ shall mean containing defects in structural elements 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.Ñ
i.We do not count energy code deficiencies toward the thresholds required by Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174, Subdivision 10(b)defined as Ðstructurally substandardÑ, due to concerns expressed by the State of
Minnesota Court of Appeals in the Walser Auto Sales, Inc. vs. City of Richfield case filed November 13, 2001.
c.Buildings are not eligible to be considered structurally substandard unless they meet certain additional criteria, as set
forth in Subdivision 10(c) which states:
ÐA 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 structurally substandard under the preceding sentence on the basis of reasonably available evidence, such as the
size, type, and age of the building, the average cost of plumbing, electrical, or structuralrepairs, or other similar
reliable evidence.Ñ
ÐItems of evidence that support such a conclusion \[that the building is not disqualified\] include recent fire or police
inspections, on-site property tax appraisals or housing inspections, exterior evidence ofdeterioration, or other similar
reliable evidence.Ñ
i.LHB counts energy code deficiencies toward the 15 percent code threshold required by Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c)) for the following reasons:
1)The Minnesota energy code is one often building code areas highlighted by the Minnesota Department of
Labor and Industry website where minimum construction standards are required by law.
2)Chapter 13 of the 2015 Minnesota Building Code states, ÐBuildings shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with the International Energy Conservation Code.Ñ Furthermore, Minnesota Rules, Chapter
1305.0021 Subpart 9 states, ÐReferences to the International Energy Conservation Code in this code mean
the Minnesota Energy Code ÈÑ
3)Chapter 11 of the 2015 Minnesota Residential Code incorporates Minnesota Rules, Chapters, 1322 and
1323 Minnesota Energy Code.
4)The Senior Building Code Representative for the Construction Codes and Licensing Division of the
Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry confirmed that the Minnesota Energy Code is being enforced
throughout the State of Minnesota.
5)In a January 2002 report to the Minnesota Legislature, the Management Analysis Division of the Minnesota
Department of Administration confirmed that the construction cost of new buildings complying with the
Minnesota Energy Code is higher than buildings built prior to the enactment of the code.
6)Proper TIF analysis requires a comparison between the replacement value of a new building built under
current code standards with the repairs that would be necessary to bring the existing building up to current
code standards. Foran equal comparison to be made, all applicable code chapters should be applied to
both scenarios. Since current construction estimating software automatically applies the construction cost
of complying with the Minnesota Energy Code, energy code deficiencies should also be identified in the
existing structures.

3.DISTRIBUTION OF SUBSTANDARD BUILDINGS
a.MinnesotaStatutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10, defines a Redevelopment District and requires one or more of
the following conditionsÐreasonably distributed throughout the district.Ñ:
Ð(1) Parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved
or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures and more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including
outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance;
(2)the property consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropriately used, or infrequently used rail yards, rail
storage facilities, or excessive or vacated railroad rights-of-way;
(3)tank facilities, or property whose immediately previous use wasfor tank facilitiesÈÑ
b.Our interpretation of the distribution requirement is that the substandard buildings must be reasonably distributed
throughout the district as compared to the location of all buildings in the district. For example, if all of the buildings in
a district are located on one half of the area of the district, with the other half occupied by parking lots (meeting the
required 70 percent coverage for the district), we would evaluate the distribution of the substandard buildings
compared with only the half of the district where the buildings are located. If allthe buildings in a district are located
evenly throughout the entire area of the district, the substandard buildings must be reasonably distributed throughout
the entire area of the district. We believe this is consistent with the opinion expressed by the State of Minnesota
Court of Appeals in the Walser Auto Sales, Inc. vs. City of Richfield case filed November 13, 2001.
Part 3: Procedures Followed
LHB inspected one (1) buildingduring the day of February 15, 2022.
Barns and outbuildings:
For the purposes of our work, we are defining buildings as those structures inhabited by human beings. These structures
would typically include water, sewer, and electricity. Barns and small storage facilities are considered ÐoutbuildingsÑ which are
not typically considered in TIF analysis because they have very few code requirements and are not intended for human
occupation.
A small three-sided structure on Parcel D was identified as an ÐoutbuildingÑ and not inspected.
Part 4: Findings
1.Coverage Test
a.The total square foot area ofthe parcel in the proposed TIF District was obtained from City records, GIS mapping
and site verification.
b.The total square foot area of buildings and site improvements on the parcels in the proposed TIF District was
obtained from City records, GIS mapping and site verification.
c.The percentage of coverage for each parcel in the proposed TIF District was computed to determine if the 15 percent
minimum requirement was met. The total square footage of parcels meeting the 15 percent requirement was divided
into the total square footage of the entire district to determine if the 70 percent requirement was met.

FINDING
The proposed TIF District met the coverage test under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(e),
which resulted in parcels consisting of 100 percent of the area of the proposed TIF District being occupied by
buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures (Diagram 2). This exceeds the 70
percent area coverage requirement for the proposed TIF District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
Subdivision (a) (1).

2.Condition of Building Test
a.BUILDING INSPECTION
i.The first step in the evaluation process is the building inspection. After an initial walk-thru, the inspector makes a
judgment whethera building ÐappearsÑ to have enough defects or deficiencies of sufficient total significance to
justify substantial renovation or clearance. If it does, the inspector documents with notes and photographs code
and non-code deficiencies in the building.
b.REPLACEMENT COST
i.The second step in evaluating a building to determine if it is substandard to a degree requiring substantial
renovation or clearance is to determine its replacement cost. This is the cost of constructing a new structure of
the same square footage and type on site. Replacement costs were researched using R.S. Means Cost Works
square foot models for 2022.
Frost Avenue East TIF District
LHB Project No. 220122 Page 6 of 9Final Report
EDA Special Meeting Packet Page Number 72 of 103
G1, Attachment 4
ii.A replacement cost was calculated by first establishing building use (office, retail, residential, etc.), building
construction type (wood, concrete, masonry, etc.), and building size to obtain the appropriate median
replacement cost, which factors in the costs of construction in Maplewood, Minnesota.
iii.Replacement cost includes labor, materials, and the contractorÓs overhead and profit. Replacement costs do not
include architectural fees, legal fees or other ÐsoftÑ costs not directly related to construction activities.
Replacement cost for each building is tabulated in Appendix A.
c.CODE DEFICIENCIES
i.The next step in evaluating a building is to determine what code deficiencies exist with respect to such building.
Code deficiencies are those conditions for a building which are not in compliance with current building codes
applicable to new buildings in the State of Minnesota.
ii.Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), specifically provides that a building cannot be
considered structurally substandard if its code deficiencies are not at least 15 percent of the replacement cost of
the building. As a result, it was necessary to determine the extent of code deficiencies for each building in the
proposed TIF District.
iii.The evaluation was made by reviewing all available information with respect to such buildings contained in City
Building Inspection records and making interior and exterior inspections of the buildings. LHB utilizes the current
Minnesota State Building Code as the official code for our evaluations. The Minnesota State Building Code is a
series of provisional codes written specifically for Minnesota only requirements, adoption of several international
codes, and amendments to the adopted international codes.
iv.After identifying the code deficiencies in each building, we used R.S. Means Cost Works 2022; Unit and
Assembly Costs to determine the cost of correcting the identified deficiencies. We were then able to compare
the correction costs with the replacement cost of each building to determine if the costs for correcting code
deficiencies meet the required 15 percent threshold.
FINDING
One (1) out of one (1) buildings (100 percent) in the proposed TIF District contained code deficiencies exceeding the
15 percent threshold required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c). Building Code, Condition
Deficiency and Context Analysis reports for the buildings in the proposed TIF District can be found in Appendix B of
this report.
d.SYSTEM CONDITION DEFICIENCIES
i.If a building meets the minimum code deficiency threshold under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
Subdivision 10(c), then in order for such building to be Ðstructurally substandardÑ under Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(b), the buildingÓs defects or deficiencies should be of sufficient total significance
to justify Ðsubstantial renovation or clearance.Ñ Based on this definition, LHB re-evaluated each of the buildings
that met the code deficiency threshold underMinnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), to
determine if the total deficiencies warranted Ðsubstantial renovation or clearanceÑ based on the criteria we
outlined above.
ii.System condition deficiencies are a measurement of defects or substantial deterioration in site elements,
structure, exterior envelope, mechanical and electrical components, fire protection and emergency systems,
interior partitions, ceilings, floors, and doors.
iii.The evaluation of system condition deficiencies was made by reviewing all available information contained in
City records, and making interior and exterior inspections of the buildings. LHB only identified system condition
deficiencies that were visible upon our inspection of the building or contained in City records. We did not
consider the amount of Ðservice lifeÑ used up for a particular component unless it was an obvious part of that
componentÓs deficiencies.
iv.After identifying the system condition deficiencies in each building, we used our professional judgmentto
determine if the list of defects or deficiencies is of sufficient total significance to justify Ðsubstantial renovation or
clearance.Ñ
Frost Avenue East TIF District
LHB Project No. 220122 Page 7 of 9Final Report
EDA Special Meeting Packet Page Number 73 of 103
G1, Attachment 4
FINDING
In our professional opinion, one (1) out of one (1) buildings (100 percent) in the proposed TIF District are structurally
substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance, because of defects in structural elements 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. This exceeds the 50 percent requirement of Subdivision
10a(1).
3.Distribution of Substandard Structures
e.Much of this report has focused on the condition of individual buildings as they relate to requirements identified by
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10. It is also important to lookat the distribution of substandard
buildings throughout the geographic area of the proposed TIF District (Diagram 3).
FINDING
The parcels with substandard buildings are reasonably distributed compared to all parcels that contain buildings.

MAPLEWOOD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITYSTAFF REPORT
Meeting Date June 26, 2023
REPORT TO:
Melinda Coleman, Executive Director
REPORT FROM: Michael Martin, AICP, Assistant Community Development Director
PRESENTER:
Danette Parr, Community Development Director
AGENDA ITEM: Support of Affordable Housing Project, JB Vang– Gladstone Village II,
1880 English Street North
a.Resolution Supporting Use of Tax Increment Financing
b.Letter of Support from EDA President
c.Acknowledgment of Receptivity of a Metropolitan Council LCA
Funding Award
Action Requested: Motion Discussion Public Hearing
Form of Action: Resolution OrdinanceContract/Agreement Proclamation
Policy Issue:
Earlier this spring, the city council approved JB Vang’s Gladstone Village, a 65-unit affordable
multifamily apartment project located at 1310 Frost Avenue. JB Vang has started to work on a
second phase of the project which would be a 56-unit new construction mixed-income
affordable rental housing development targeting families, located at 1880 English Street North –
directly to the south of the approved project.
JB Vang is pursuing funding via Housing Tax Credits from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency
to support this second-phase project. As part of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency’s
application process, a resolution of support for the use of tax increment financing and a letter from
the President of the Economic Development Authority (EDA) is required to be submitted. This
funding source also includes dollars from the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council can
only provide funding to other units of government. Because of this, the EDA is required to submit a
form committing that any funding awarded to this project will be made available to the developer.
The EDA is being asked to approve a resolution supporting the use of tax increment financing, a
letter of support from the EDA President, and the Acknowledgment of Receptivity of a Metropolitan
Council LCA Funding Award form.
Recommended Action:
a.Motion to approve the Resolution of Support for the JB Vang Partners project at 1880
English Street North.
b.Motion to approve the EDA President’s Letter of Support for the JB Vang Partners project at
1880 English Street North.

The city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan establishes the goal to “Improve the availability of affordable
housing for both homeowners and renters” and identified an action item to “Partner with
Metropolitan Council and other agencies and programs to provide funding assistance (to
developers, and also to those in need of housing) to provide for affordable housing units in the
community.”
Background:
JB Vang proposes Gladstone Village II, a 56-unit new construction mixed-income affordable rental
housing development targeting families. This development will provide one-, two-, three-, and four-
bedroom units at a range of incomes. Gladstone Village II would work to address the need for
additional affordable housing in Maplewood directly. The addition of 56 new affordable housing
units, all set at 30 percent, 50 percent, and 60 percent area median income, will increase the
options for the residents of Maplewood. The development is proposed to start in 2024 and will cost
approximately $21.9 million. This property is guided by the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan as
Mixed Used Neighborhood High Density which encourages multi-family residential uses.
JB Vang has identified a funding gap in their proposed projects – which is common for affordable
housing developments – and is working to secure funding via Housing Tax Credits from the
Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. They have also indicated that they would request tax
increment financing from the city. See the attached memo from Ehler’s – the city’s financial
consultant – on the requested tax increment financing amounts.
Staff wants to emphasize that approval of the attached resolution, letter, and Metropolitan Council
form does not bind the city or EDA to any financial agreement. All projects are mandated to submit
the required financial and land use applications, which would then go through a full public review
process. This will include negotiating the appropriate level of public funding if any, the EDA deems
necessary to contribute to the project.

THE MAPLEWOOD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
OF THE CITY OF MAPLEWOOD
RESOLUTION NO.
SUPPORTING USE OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING FOR A RENTAL
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
WHEREAS, the Maplewood Economic Development Authority (the “EDA”) was
created pursuant to the Economic Development Authorities Act, Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 469.090 to 469.1080 (the “EDA Act”), and is authorized pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes §469.174 to §469.1794 (the “TIF Act”) to use Tax Increment Financing to carry
out the public purposes described herein;
WHEREAS, the EDA has received a request to provide tax increment financing
assistance to JB Vang Partners (or an affiliated entity, the “Developer”) for construction of
a 56-unit multifamily workforce rental housing apartment (the “Project”) to be located on
approximately 1.16 acres of land at 1880 English Street in Maplewood, Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, in connection with its application to Minnesota Housing for tax credits
for the Project, the Developer has requested that the EDA indicate its support of the use
of tax increment financing for the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Commissioners of the
Maplewood Economic Development Authority (the “Board”) as follows:
The EDA supports the use of tax increment financing for the Project in an amount
not to exceed $327,000 payable over approximately 26 years; provided, however, that
authorization of tax increment financing for the Project is solely within the discretion of the
City Council after satisfaction of all conditions required pursuant to the EDA Act and the
TIF Act, including without limitation, (i) a public hearing; (ii) determining that tax increment
financing assistance is necessary for the Project; and (iii) verification of development
financing need that substantiates that “but for” the use of tax increment financing the
Project would be unable to proceed.
The foregoing resolution was introduced by Commissioner ____ and duly seconded by
Commissioner ___ . The following Commissioners voted in favor of the resolution:
_______. The following Commissioners voted against the resolution: _______. The
following Commissioners were absent: _______. Whereupon the resolution was adopted.

RE: Letter of Support for JB Vang Partners
The Maplewood Economic Development Authority supports JB Vang Partners’ application for
Minnesota Housing Tax Credits to construct a 56-unit apartment building for affordable housing.
The City intends to process an application for a Tax Increment Financing district supporting the
Project, including a 26-year TIF Note of up to $327,000 in principal to address a funding gap.
Housing is an integral component of our City’s landscape. It is important to the Maplewood
Economic Development Authority that a range of housing options be available to meet the needs of
individuals and families throughout their lives, such as single-family detached homes, townhomes,
condominiums, apartments and senior housing. An important component in providing that cross-
section of housing options is the availability of affordable housing. This includes consideration of the
cost of housing relative to the wages of those working in and around Maplewood.
The cost and availability of housing, specifically rental, is an increasing concern throughout the
Metropolitan region, including here in Maplewood. The lack of and rising housing costs is negatively
impacting our local businesses, both new and existing. Local business leaders have identified a
lack of rental and affordable housing and indicate that such housing benefits the City, their ability to
attract and retain employees, and those employees themselves. With the substantial employment
increase, Maplewood has already experienced and will continue to experience, affordable housing
for workers is an important priority for the City.
As JB Vang Partners moves through the city’s formal TIF approval process and determines the final
amount of assistance, the project will be required to complete the required public hearings and
meet all state guidelines for TIF, including the “but for test”.
The Maplewood Economic Development Authority believes JB Vang Partners’ project is an
excellent opportunity to help meet some of the housing needs in our community that are currently
underserved. In turn, we need development partners such as Minnesota Housing to assist us with
our business and community housing needs. We encourage you to fund this needed project for our
community.
Sincerely,
Marylee Abrams
President of the Maplewood Economic Development Authority
