Preparation of Tax Increment

APPROVED: [Mg avid Hagen, Director
BACKGROUND
SYNOPSIS
This memo addresses the question as to what scope/size and type of tax
increment financing district should be created for the Victoria
Village.
BACKGROUND
)
At the study session of January 9, the consensus was that the EDA
should give form al direction to staff to begin preparation of the tax
increment financing plan at the next EDA meeting. In addition to
providing that direction, a decision needs to be made as to whether
the tax increment financing district created should be larger than the
project site. A total of approximately $840,000 could be collected
from increments from the Victoria Village site after the Victoria
Village project obligations are satisfied to meet other comm unity
development needs in the area.
If the EDA is not inclined to create a district larger than the site
itself, then a qualified housing district should be created so that
state aid penalties to the City are avoided. If the EDA is inclined
to use the increments collected after obligations to the Victoria
Village project expire to address other community development needs,
then a decision needs to be made as to what type of tax increment
financing district, qualified housing or redevelopment, is to be
created and the next section addresses that question.
Expanded Qualified Housing Versus Expanded Redevelopment TIF District
The creation of a qualified housing district has the advantage of
avoiding state aid penalties which are estimated to amount to
approximately $250,000 over the life of the district. The
disadvantage of creating a qualified housing district is that either

20% of the units in the project must be occupied by households under
50% of the median income or 40% of the units must be occupied by
households under 60% of the median income. The developer has
indicated that this restriction is no more demanding than occupancy
restrictions resulting from the tax credits that will be used to raise
some of the equ ity for the project. It would be necessary for other
housing assisted with these tax increments to also meet these
occupancy requ irements. Given the large numb er of multi-family
stru ctures that need rehabilitation that could be included in this TIF
District this should not pose a problem in making use of those
increments e
A disadvantage of creating a redevelopment district is that the
parcels included in the district must meet cert ain criteria relating
to the presence and sub standardness of buildings on the parcels or to
the parcel being vacated railroad right-of-way. The same numb er of
years of increment (25) can be captured from qu alified housing and

TO: Economic Development Authority
FROM: Jeffrey Fine
DATE: February 3, 1995
RE: Tax Increment Financing/Victoria Village
I am opposed to the creation of tax increment financing agreement
in any form with regard to the proposed Victoria Village project, and
believe very strongly that the members of the Economic Development
Authority should also oppose it. My reasons are as follows:
As an owner and manager of multi-family properties in the City of
st. Louis Park, and an involved participant in the St. Louis Park
multi-family coalition, I have become aware of the fact that "The
city" has a substantial concern with regard to the status, condition,
and/or well-fare of its current aging or older multi-family housing
stock. If there is proper basis for concern, there are a number of
reasons for the conditions of concern existing.
The substantial, if not explosive, creation and/or development of
new multi-family units in the mid-1970's, carrying through to the mid-
1980's, created a situation of substantial over-supply in the
availability of apartments. As that over-supply peaked, failure of
the Savings & Loan Institutions and tax reform all combined, as you
know, with some very negative impacts on the multi-family industry.
To the extent that the physical condition of older apartment
properties in the City of st. Louis Park have not been maintained
and/or improved to levels the City would find acceptable or
appropriate, the cause has been one of financial hardship wrought on
those properties, in general, because of the economic conditions that
have affected the industry since approximately 1985, and more
specifically because from 1985 until now, high vacancy factors and
aggressive competition to obtain tenants have depressed rents to the
point that it has not been financially possible for many owners of
older properties to spend monies as was necessary to maintain and
improve their real estate. Admittedly, the condition of over-supply
is starting to correct itself by reason of the fact that there has
been no substantial new construction since approximately 1988, and the
over-supply is being absorbed.

)
There is still no financial justification in the market place to
support any new construction in the apartment field. Stabilized
occupancy at acceptable levels will now allow for adjustments in rent
that were not possible over the period of the last seven years or
more. Both factors will combine to provide an opportunity for owners
of older multi-family property to begin reinvesting in the physical
well-being and appearance of the properties they own.
It is wrong in this economic climate for a governmental entity to
provide financial incentives to encourage new multi-family
construction which is exactly what you are considering doing with tax
increment financing of the Victoria Village scheme. I recognize that
the City of st. Louis Park is not alone in considering subsidizing
something that is not otherwise financially feasible in the market
place. The State, with tax credits, and the Federal government, with
its incentives, will also have a hand in this ill-advised action, if
it proceeds.
The second reason I am opposed is because some of the arguments
and positions in support of this project are fallacious. I have heard
the justification that City involvement will encourage the development
of property that has long stood neglected and undeveloped and which is
assumed to be undevelopable without some form of governmental
assistance. The truth is that this land holding was, for a number of
years, held as inventory for future commercial/business/ industrial
development. No attempt was made toward the development of this
property while properties contiguous to it in a more favorable and
accessible location were being developed. At some point in the
"recent" past, when commercial/business/industrial development could
have taken place on the subject land area, opposition to that type of
land use was voiced by the residential properties surrounding the land
area, and the City responded by rezoning the property to, I believe, a
limited multi-family use only. Bearing in mind that neither the
economy in general, or specifically, the multi-family industry in area
was favorable and/or would support new development after 1985 through
and including this moment, it is not surprising that this land has not
yet been developed.
I firmly believe that if this property is, today, offered
publicly and broadly for sale, it would be of interest to a private
developer with conventional financing supported by appropriate
economic circumstances, within the next 3 to 4 years such that the
site will be developed without the involvement of City of St. Louis
Park subsidies.

)
Another reason I have heard in support of this project is that
its creation will somehow encourage current St. Louis Park residents
in the age group of 65 or older to sell their single-family homes in
order to occupy this property, thereby making their homes available
for younger families. It sounds good in theory, but in practice I ask
two questions. If this property is developed, is it possible that
once an assured occupancy date can be determined, a current senior
citizen homeowner is going to have time to list his property for sale
and, in fact, accomplish that sale in a timely enough fashion to take
advantage of the opportunity to occupy this subsidized project? What
assurances is the developer giving that he will not rent up this
property to senior citizens now living outside of st. Louis Park, as
opposed to holding it vacant and available to show preference to st.
Louis Park residents only?
Incidently, if, in fact, the prospective resident for Victoria
Village is a current homeowner in the City of st. Louis Park, do they
really need "a financial subsidy" in order to be encouraged to sell
their home and live in this property? It seems to me that the Federal
and State governments, when they designed their incentive programs for
low and moderate income housing development, did not have it in mind
that they would be encouraging homeowners to sell the private family
home in favor of living in this type of property. Couldn't these
funds be better used to create homes for the homeless?
In addition to the above concern and opposition to the creation
of tax increment financing for this project is the fact that I do not
believe government involvement or intervention in general, or
specifically in this project, is necessary or appropriate. A market
place, free-enterprise system will be more than capable of developing
and meeting the needs of this property and the City of St. Louis Park
now and in the near future. There is currently no need for this type
of luxury senior housing that should be met or encouraged by public
charitable funds. Why should every homeowner in the City of st. Louis
Park pay any sum (47¢) for the privilege of subsidizing seniors who
are comfortably lodged today in their own homes elsewhere. Is it
possible the recent message sent by "the people" in the last national
election has not reached local political levels? We need less
governmental involvement, less bureaucracy, and more private industry
response in meeting the day to day social needs of all people.

extension of structural beam support in floor system, interior finish modifications,
addition of plastic laminate sills, deletion of rigid insulation or spandrel glass, and
relocation of handrail.
3. Detail lA/3-4 - Add Embed Plate For Snowgate Pipe Anchorage $149.00

4. RFP#I0-Signage Revisions <$2,784.00>
HGA revised the signage requirements by deleting the following signs: one S7, three
S8's, three Sl0's, one S15, three S16's, three S19's, two S23's, three S25's, two S26's, one S28,

5. ASI #6 - Precast In Skyway Connection No Charge
Clarification of the precast panel/ skyway A connection, The precast panel at level 2
southeast comer of the ramp, extends in front of the concrete masonry wall of the ramp
and walkway. A concrete masonry wall and the cast-in-place concrete curb will be set
back as indicated on the details.
6. RFP #llR - Sketch 12R-2 Grade Beam For Ramp Slab $8,050.00
Special construction and engineering was required between grid 8.6 and grid 8 on the
ramp in order to avoid differential settlement. HGA's engineer changed the slab on
grade to a structural slab supported by a retaining wall at grid 8.6 and by a 38" deep x 16"
wide grade beam along grid line 8. The grade beam is supported off piers at each end.
These piers go from the bottom of the grade beam to the top of the pile caps, which are
setting on top of the special concrete piling.
7. RFP #12 - Methane Detection and Alarm System $9,361.00
HGA's electrical engineer, per requirements of the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency, added a methane detection and alarm system. This included one 4-channel
receiver, two gas sensor transmitters, one automatic telephone dialer and the associated
conduit, cable and connection requirements.

8. RFP #7 - Concrete Apron at Door 101P $245.00
This item included the deletion of the asphalt and the addition of concrete in front of the
door due to a work difficulty situation. The asphalt installer could not get inside the
bollards (just outside the door) to properly place the asphalt. Therefore, the asphalt was
deleted and concrete was installed.
9. RFP #13 Item #1 - Add Ramp Asphalt, Delete Concrete $8,486.00
This change from concrete to asphalt was considered to be an advantage in the project's
maintenance program. Since the ramp is on dump material, anticipated settlement
would result in the breaking up of the concrete slab, which would require repair or
replacement. Repair of asphalt in this area would be easier and less costly. In addition,
a special asphalt was installed which would allow water to permeate. The asphalt
material ( called popcorn asphalt) would allow for better drainage and help avoid the ice
buildup.
RFP #13 Item #2 - Cap on Retaining Wall $1,966.00
A cap on the retaining wall was a requirement to complete the ramp substitution option.
Originally the concrete slab was to be poured over the top of the retaining wall. This
would not be a wise condition for asphalt. Therefore, a break was made by capping the
retaining wall with concrete and placing the asphalt next to the concrete cap.
10.
11. RFP #13 Item #3 - Revise Existing Concrete Stair $2,052.00
The stair at the center of level 2, which connected the scissor levels of the ramp for
access to the level 2 lobby, had a clearance problem. The head clearance was
approximately 6'-5" which did not meet code requirements. Thus, the stair was
relocated in order to accommodate code clearance requirements.
12. RFP #13 Item #4 - Widen Skyway A 2,128.00
A conflict in dimensions between the architectural and structural drawings mandated
corrective action. This action consisted of adding some steel structural supports on the
outside to increase the width to accommodate an inside dimension of 12 foot.
13. RFP #13 Item #5 - Security Cable For Elevator $1,002.00
The security cable for the elevator was added to accommodate a camera. This camera is
monitored 24 hours a day for security purposes.
14. RFP #2, CP #3 - Move Bollards No Charge
HGA relocated two bollards from the inside of the ramp entry to just outside the ramp
entry. This action, being completed before the installation of the original bollards,
resulted in no cost.

Ramp Frost Correction $14,000.00
During the winter frost had gone down as far as 9 foot in the dump area on the ramp.
The soils engineer, Braun Intertec, informed us that soil stability would require removal
of all frozen material and replacement with good material. Since this item had
previously been installed and compacted per contract requirements, a change order was
requested. A&P, along with their excavation contractor, Carl Bolander & Sons,
requested an add of $28,000.00. After negotiations a compromise was reached wherein a
value of $14,000.00, a split of the cost, was agreed to plus a 14 day time extension.
Add Nine Stair Lights, Level 3 Exit Light, South Stair Light For $2,399.00

During a walkthrough with the City Inspectors, it was decided that additional lighting
for safety and exit lighting for directional purposes was required. We complied with the
City's request.
Add Signage At Fire Extinguishers and Stand Pipe, AAA Signs $564.00
and Lower Level Clearance Sign
The additional fire extinguisher signage and stand pipe signage was requested by the
Fire Marshal during his walkthrough for Certificate of Occupancy. The AAA signage
was added by the City to accommodate their agreement with AAA, and the lower level
clearance sign was added by Park Nicollet to identify clearance problems.
Add Fire Extinguishers and Paint Backgrounds $1,578.00
During a walkthrough with the Fire Marshal, the Fire Marshal requested nine
additional fire extinguishers. These fire extinguishers were furnished and installed,
and the concrete behind these extinguishers was painted.
Ramp Soil Correction - East Side $1,519.00
During final preparation prior to the installation of class 5 and asphalt material, Braun
Intertec inspected the areas after the frost went out of the ground to verify suitability of
bearing surface. An area along the east side of the ramp was wet and unsuitable.
Under the direction of Braun Intertec, this material was removed and replaced with
engineered fill.

September 27, 1994
22.1 Test Pits in Dump Material $527.00
In the spring when the frost was coming out of the dump material, our testing engineer
requested the mechanical contractor on site, who had a backhoe available, dig into the
dump material to locate the frost depths. There was a serious concern about whether the
frost would come out naturally or whether special measures had to be taken in order to
continue construction and get the ramp opened. Frost monitoring by Braun Intertec in
the dump material was a request of the Owner.
22.2 Special Pipe Supports $1,269.00
Special construction was needed for the installation of the underground drainage
system in the dump area. The mechanical contractor ran into unsuitable soils, which
in the opinion of the engineer, would not properly support the pipe. Yale was required to
provide a special deeper foundation for the below grade storm piping as designed by
HGA and installed under the direction of Braun Intertec.
23. Frost Ripping $18,407.00
Early in the project the concrete displacement pile contractor informed us that he was
concerned about the support of his crane over the dump material. Therefore, he
requested that the Class 5 material underneath the asphalt be left in place to stabilize the
dump site. Further, a pathway had to be maintained in the dump material to
accommodate his movement through the dump area from pile cap location to pile cap
location. This, along with the changes in the foundation plan, which was a result of the
displacement pile testing program, added time to the schedule, which resulted in
pushing the pile cap excavation into January/February. Original pile cap excavation
had been scheduled to complete in December. Thus, additional frost ripping occurred at
a cost of $22,907.00, less the $4,500.00 anticipated in their original bid, resulting in a net
request of$18,407.00.
24. Pefco Panels $13,819.00
In A&P's Change Order #2 a credit was taken of $13,819.00 for a Pefco panel substitution.
During the shop drawing process and the sample submittal process, it was discovered
that the substitution could not meet the architect's requirements. Thus, it is required that
the original Pefco panel being reinstated and installed as noted on the architect's
drawings.
25. Correct Bollards Loosened By Test $1,282.00
This item is contested. Bollards were tested as a result of incorrect installation of some
bollards. The Owner feels that the random testing by A&P under the guidance of
Braun Intertec was a good faith effort to verify to the owner that the remaining bollards
were correctly installed. This was followed up by a letter accepting responsibility for
corrective action of any bollard that failed due to improper installation.
26. Sign Solution Allowance Adjustment and Sign Addition <$2,613.00>
The contract specifications included an allowance of $3,000.00 for the addition of various
signs. This allowance is now being adjusted minus the addition of 10 aluminum T-
brackets for mounting of handicap signs, the addition of two 3 x 25" raised copy and
Braille signs for electrical and elevator rooms, the addition of 12 signs for low clearance.

27. Bollards and Pipe Guard Additions $3,689.00
Pipe bollards were added in various locations at Grids B3 and D3. Two additional pipe
bollards were installed at each location for storm drain piping protection. At Grid C18
behind column A19 a bollard was installed for safety reasons. This reduced the space
between the stub column and the precast which was greater than 6". On level 3 from
Grid D2 to Grid Dl two additional bollards were installed to protect the sprinkler
standpipe. During Certificate of Occupancy inspection is was discovered that some
clean-outs were not accessible. The guards protecting these pipes were relocated or
modified to make the clean-outs accessible.
28. Level 3 Relocate Sprinkler Standpipe $3,069.00
The standpipe as shown on the architectural drawings was located on level 3 at Grid D2.
Since the columns from below did not continue on level 3, the standpipe was exposed to
damage. Therefore, it was decided to relocate this standpipe to Grid Dl, which required
the x-raying of the slab so no post-tensioning tendons would be damaged. The core
drilling of the slab and the additional pipe from moving from Grid D2 to Dl is included.
29. Correction to Expansion Joint Level 3 $2,345.00
A conflict in details for the expansion joint between the ramp and the elevator tower
resulted in a joint situation that was not workable. In order to correct and address this
situation, Hammel, Green & Abrahamson met with the contractor to expedite field
modifications. This included the caulking of the joint and the addition of an
aluminum threshold specially sized for this particular joint.
30. Expansion Joint Alignment in the Ramp $3,815.00
In two portions of the ramp, both outside portions, a settlement occurred at the expansion
joint area. After design review, it was ascertained that this was not an installation
problem but resulted from the characteristics of the concrete PT/resteel design system.
The contractor suggested a repair method to correct the elevation alignment problem.
The recommendation was reviewed by HGA and accepted.
31. Crack Repairs/Filling To Date $2,812.00
Due to the normal actions of concrete, one of which is shrinkage, cracks appear at
various locations throughout the ramp deck. The cracks, although not structurally
harmful, do allow water to drip to the lower level. In an effort to reduce the water
droppings on cars parked below, crack repair/filling was suggested. The contractor,
utilizing his forces, proceeded with this at a cost of $2,812.00.
32. Add Second Coat of Paint to Soffit Under Walkway $350.00
Under previous change order, the entire underside of the ramp was reduced to one coat
of paint. Most of the ramp on the underside is concrete and one coat is sufficient. On
the soffit for the walkway, it appears that a second coat of paint would provide a better
finish. Therefore, a second coat of paint was requested.

3 3 . RFP #15 - Stair PC Repair $3,242.00
A design problem occurred on Stair PC which resulted in the stair concrete shrinking
and cracking. HGA reviewed the problem and designed a fix. The fix includes
sawcutting loose one end of the stair and installing a bearing assembly which will
allow the stair to move with the changes in temperature and ramp size.
34. Add Ladder to Elevator Pit $338.00
During a previous change order, where the traction elevator was deleted and a
hydraulic elevator was added at a savings close to $30,000.00, the ladder in the elevator
pit was overlooked. To add this ladder back in, a cost of $338.00 is requested.
35. Medical Waste $3,018.00
During footing excavation along Grid Line 8, medical waste was encountered. The
contractor was directed to install plywood protection along the bank and relocate
medical waste excavation to a special container. The contractor was told to leave his
forms in place, pour the concrete both inside and outside the formwork, thus covering
the entire area with a protective layer of concrete. The cost for this is included in this
change order.

O
Precast Appearance Credit at Stair Tower <$2,000.00>
The precast panels as erected at the stair tower contain color variations in the finish.
These color variations (per Spancrete) will dissipate over time. An appearance credit
was offered, which the Owner is accepting.
37. Settlement Credit <$11,342.00>
During Change Order No. 4 review and discussions, various areas of agreement and
disagreement were addressed. Resolution was established through compromise which
resulted in this negotiated settlement.

BACKGROUND
At the January 9 City Council meeting the proposed plan was presented
and the loan repayment provisions were discussed. The consensus of
the Council at that time was to move forward with the project by
addressing the variance question and further refining the repayment
terms.
)
VARIANCES
Attached is a list of the 22 variances that would be required for this
project under the Zoning Ordinance. Also attached is a summary
comparing the proposed assisted living to similar projects in other
cities. The proposed project has much higher density (units/acre)
than other projects. It may be justifiable to allow increased density
on this site because of its location next to the park and
consideration should be given to modifying the Zoning Ordinance to
allow for that if these variances are approved to restore credibility
to the ordinance.
REPAYMENT TERMS
Attached is a calculation indicating that the present value of the
developer's proposed repayment of the $800,000 loan is $625,500.
Staff has proposed that interest rates of half the 8% market rate be
used through 1997 and that at that point the loan accrue interest at
8%. This repayment method has a present value of $728,000 as
indicated on the attachment. Staff's proposal utilizes the standard
method of compounding interest whereas the developer's proposal uses
simple interest until the district expires in 2001.
Staff's proposal includes repayment of the $880,586.00 of principal
and interest from tax increments received until increments are no
longer received at which time the remaining principal balance is
amortized over a five year period at an 8% interest rate with equal

payments being received twice per year until the entire balance is
retired. Although the developer has indicated a desire for a longer
period of time to pay back the remainder, staff believes this proposal
would be accepted.
SCHEDULE
