PREPARATION OF A HOUSING PROGRAM
(THE MAPLEWOOD TOWNHOMES PROJECT)

(a) Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C (the "Act") confers upon cities,
the power to issue revenue bonds to finance a program for the purposes of
planning, administering, making or purchasing loans with respect to one or
more multi-family housing developments within the boundaries of the City;

within the community; encourage the development of affordable housing
opportunities for residents of the City; encourage the development of
housing facilities designed for occupancy by low-to-moderate income
persons; and encourage the development of blighted or underutilized land
and structures within the boundaries of the City; and the Project will
assist the City in achieving these objectives;
(d) The Developer is currently engaged in the business of real estate
development. The Project to be financed by the Bonds is the acquisition,
construction and equipping of an approximately 894,514 square foot multi-
family rental housing development of approximately 176 town houses located
at the southeast cornerof McKnight Road and Lower Afton Road; in the City

thereon which will result in the provision of additional rental housing
opportunities to persons of low-to-moderate income within the community;
- (e) The City has been advised by representatives of the Developer
that conventional, commercial financing to pay the capital costs of the
Project is available only on a limited basis and at such high costa of
borrowing that the economic feasibility of operating the project would be
significantly reduced, but the Developer has also advised the City that
with the aid of municipal financing, and resulting low borrowing costs,
the Project is economically more feasible; and
(f) No public official of the City has either a direct or indirect
financial interest in the Project nor will any public official either
directly or indirectly benefit financially from the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAPLEWOOD,

sufficient to pay, when due, the principal and interest on the Bonds in the
_ principal and interest on the Bonds in the total principal amount of approximately
$10,500,000 to be issued pursuant to the Act to finance the acquisition and
construction of the Project; and said agreement may also provide for the entire
interest of the Developer therein to be mortgaged to the purchasers of the Bonds,
or a trustee for the holder(s) of the Bonds; and the City, acting by and through

such terms and conditions.
2. At the option of the City, the financing may be structured so as to take

3. On thebasis of information available to the City it appears, and the City
hereby finds, that the Project constitutes a multi-family housing development
- within the meaning of subdivision 5 of Section 46X.02 of the Act; that the
availability of the financing under the Act and the willingness of the City to
furnish such financing will be a substantial inducement to the Developer to
undertake the Project, and that the effect of the Project, if undertaken, will be
to encourage the provision of additional multi-family rental housing opportunities
to residents of low-to-moderate income of the City, and to promote more intensive
development and use of land within the City.

revenue bonds, is hereby given preliminary approval by the City subject to the

purpose. The Bonds shall not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or
