Recitals. 1.01. The city council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota (the “city’) and the authority have heretofore approved the establishment of the Beltline Station Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 (the “TIF district no. 1”), a housing district, and Beltline Station Tax Increment Financing District No. 2 (the “TIF district no. 2” and together with TIF district no. 1, the “TIF districts”), a renewal and renovation district, within Redevelopment Project No. 1 (the “project”) and have adopted tax increment financing plans for the purpose of financing certain improvements within the project. 1.02. Minnesota statutes, section 469.176, subdivision 4n (“subd. 4n”) authorizes the authority to spend available tax increment from any existing tax increment financing district (“available TIF”), notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, to provide improvements, loans, interest rate subsidies, or assistance in any form to private development consisting of construction or substantial rehabilitation of buildings and ancillary facilities, if the following conditions exist: (a) Such assistance will create or retain jobs in the state of Minnesota (the “state”), including construction jobs; (b) Construction commences before December 31, 2025; (c) The construction would not have commenced before December 31, 2025 without the assistance; (d) available TIF under the spending plan is spent by December 31, 2025; and (e) The city council (the “council”) of the city approves a written spending plan (after a duly noticed public hearing) that specifically authorizes the authority to take such actions. Docusign Envelope ID: 1EAF6625-7FB1-4DAE-864C-862F3FA15505 1.03. The authority and the council have heretofore adopted a spending plan (the “spending plan”) pursuant to Minnesota statutes, section 469.176, subdivision subd. 4n, which authorizes the use of available TIF to provide improvements, loans or assistance for private development that satisfies the criteria listed above and as further described in the spending plan (“qualified projects,” singularly, a “qualified project”). The spending plan expressly authorizes available TIF assistance to qualified projects including to the development (as hereinafter defined). 1.04. The authority, and Beltline Development LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“beltline development”), or an entity related thereto or affiliated therewith (collectively, the “Beltline development entities”), each own portions of certain property within the project (the “development property”), which has been the subject of various prior agreements between the parties for purposes of constructing a mixed-use (market rate and affordable multi-family residential and commercial) development and related parking, including a parking ramp serving in part as a park & ride facility for Metro Transit’s proposed Southwest Light Rail Transit Beltline station on certain property in the project (the “development”). 1.05. To facilitate the development of the development property, the authority and Beltline Mixed Use LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Beltline development (the “developer”), entered into a contract for private development, dated July 24, 2023 as amended by the first amendment to contract for private development, between the authority and the developer, dated October 2, 2023 (collectively, the “original agreement”) which provides for the construction by the developer on the development property of (a) a building to include approximately 146 units of market rate housing with approximately 96 underground parking spaces an affordable rental housing facility (the “market-rate housing component”); (b) a building to include approximately 152 units of market rate rental housing and approximately 18,200 rentable square feet of commercial space (the “mixed-use component”); and (c) an approximately 571-space parking ramp with approximately 1,850 square feet of commercial space (including approximately 208 spaces to serve the mixed-use component, approximately 95 spaces to serve the market-rate housing component, and approximately 268 spaces to be dedicated as public transit park & ride spaces) and driver restroom (the “parking ramp component,” and collectively with the market-rate housing component and the mixed-use component, the “minimum improvements”). Due to changing market conditions and delays, the developer has requested additional changes to the original agreement and to that end, the parties have prepared an amended and restated contract for private development (the “agreement”). 1.06. Due to the costs of developing the minimum improvements, the developer has requested certain financial assistance from the authority. To make the construction of the minimum improvements economically feasible, the agreement provides that the authority will issue separate tax increment revenue notes (individually, the “market-rate housing TIF note” and the “mixed-use component TIF note,” and together, the “TIF notes”) to the Beltline development entities. In addition, the authority will provide a grant in the maximum amount of $1,710,109 from available TIF (the “authority TIF grant”) for the construction of the mixed-use component as allowed under the spending plan. Docusign Envelope ID: 1EAF6625-7FB1-4DAE-864C-862F3FA15505 1.07. As part of the development, the authority proposes to convey the property legally described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “authority parcels”) to the Beltline development entities, and the Beltline development entities intend to acquire the authority parcels for purposes of constructing the development. 1.08. To facilitate the development, the authority and Beltline development entered into a purchase agreement, dated July 7, 2022, as amended four times (as heretofore amended, the “original purchase agreement”), which provides for the conveyance of the authority parcels to the Beltline development entities, provided that following closing on the conveyance and replatting of the development property certain rights of way will be owned by the city. 1.09. Due to changes in market conditions since the execution of the original purchase agreement, Beltline development has requested changes to how the purchase price is paid to the authority, changes to the conditions for closing and changes to certain deadlines in the documents. As such, the authority and Beltline development have negotiated an amended and restated purchase agreement (the “purchase agreement”). The authority proposes to sell the authority property at the price of $3,390,001.00 of which $1.00 will be paid for the property upon which an affordable housing development will be constructed (the “affordable parcel”) and $3,390,000 will be paid for the property upon which the mixed-use and market-rate housing components (the “mixed-use property”) will be constructed. The costs of the mixed- use property will be paid with the purchase price note (the “purchase price note”) in the amount of $3,390,000 which will be repaid by the developer. The purchase price note will be secured by a mortgage on the mixed-use property (the “purchase price mortgage”) 1.10. As required by Minnesota statutes, section 469.105, as amended, on the date hereof, the board conducted a duly noticed public hearing regarding the conveyance of the authority parcels to beltline development and the beltline development entities pursuant to the purchase agreement, at which all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard, and hereby finds that the execution of the purchase agreement and performance of the authority’s obligations under the purchase agreement, including the conveyance of the authority parcels to Beltline development and the Beltline development entities, are in the best interest of the city and its residents. 1.11. The mixed-use component TIF note, the authority TIF grant, and the purchase price note allocable on a pro rata basis to the commercial component of the mixed-use component, constitute a business subsidy (the “business subsidy”) pursuant to Minnesota statutes, sections 116J.993 to 116J.995, as amended (the “business subsidy act”). In connection therewith, the authority and the developer will execute the agreement in accordance with the proposed terms on file with the authority, which constitutes a “business subsidy agreement” as required under the business subsidy act. Docusign Envelope ID: 1EAF6625-7FB1-4DAE-864C-862F3FA15505 1.12. As required by section 116J.994, subdivision 5 of the business subsidy act, on the date hereof, the board conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed business subsidy to be provided to the developer and setting the wage and job goals at zero in accordance with the business subsidy act. The views of all interested persons were heard and considered at the public hearing. 1.13. The developer expects to receive one or more loans (the “NBC loan”) from National Bank of Commerce, a national banking association (“National Bank of Commerce”), to provide financing for the minimum improvements. In connection with the NBC loan, national bank of commerce will require that the developer assign its interests in the TIF notes to National Bank of Commerce. 1.14. The developer also expects to receive one or more loans (the “Bridgewater loan”) from Bridgewater Bank, a Minnesota banking corporation (“Bridgewater Bank”), to provide financing for the market-rate housing component and the mixed-use component. As a condition to providing the Bridgewater loan, Bridgewater Bank will require that the authority subordinate its rights, interests, and liens in the market-rate housing component and the mixed-use component and the property on which such components will be constructed arising under or pursuant to the agreement, the purchase price mortgage, the purchase price note, and the purchase agreement to the interests and rights of Bridgewater Bank under the documents executed in connection with the Bridgewater loan. 1.15. The Beltline developer previously acquired a portion of the property for the construction of the parking ramp (the “Vision Bank parcel”) from a third party, and the authority financed a portion of the acquisition cost of the Vision Bank parcel pursuant to a loan agreement between the authority and developer, as subsequently amended six times (the “loan agreement”), pursuant to which the authority loaned $3,100,000 (the “EDA Vision Bank loan”) to the Beltline developer to finance such acquisition as evidenced by a promissory note, as subsequently amended (the “Vision Bank note”) and secured by a mortgage, as subsequently amended (the “Vision Bank mortgage”). The authority and beltline developer have negotiated and now propose to execute a seventh amendment to the loan agreement, a seventh amended promissory note, and a seventh amended mortgage (together, the “loan amendment documents”) to further extend the deadline for the repayment of the EDA Vision Bank loan. 1.16. The agreement requires that the developer comply with certain construction timelines for the construction of approximately 82 units of affordable multifamily rental housing together with approximately 59 underground parking spaces (the “affordable minimum improvements”) on a portion of the development property or pay a fee (the “affordable housing fee”) to the authority as set forth in the agreement. The payment of the affordable housing fee will be secured by a letter of credit and a guaranty from George Sherman and Sherman Development Holdings (collectively, the “security”) delivered at closing on the development property. Docusign Envelope ID: 1EAF6625-7FB1-4DAE-864C-862F3FA15505 1.16. The board has reviewed the loan amendment documents, the purchase agreement, and the agreement and finds that the execution thereof and performance of the authority’s obligations thereunder are in the best interest of the city and its residents. Section 2. Findings for authority TIF grant and business subsidy. 2.01. The board hereby finds that the mixed-use component is a qualified project because: (a) the mixed-use component will create and retain jobs in the state; (b) construction on the mixed-use component will commence in the fall of 2025 and requires financial assistance to make the project financially feasible. The developer has represented that the mixed-use component would not be economically feasible within the reasonably foreseeable future and would not have commenced construction before December 31, 2025 if the developer does not receive the authority TIF grant; (c) the construction of the mixed-use component would not have commenced before December 31, 2025 without the authority TIF grant and there is a significant need for construction of mixed-use component to commence prior to such date so that the mixed-use component is completed prior to the commencement of service by light rail transit and to provide additional housing options in the city of which there is a significant need; and (d) the available TIF for the mixed-use component will be spent under the spending plan by December 31, 2025. 2.02 The board further finds that the authority TIF grant meets the spending plan goal of providing financial assistance to advance construction of the development is authorized pursuant to the spending plan and Minnesota statutes, section 469.176, subd. 4n. 2.03. After a public hearing held by the board on the date hereof, the board hereby determines that the public purposes of the proposed mixed-use component and the business subsidy provided thereto include creating a mixed-use transit oriented development, helping spur development along the light rail, eliminating blight and blighting factors in the city, increasing the tax base in the city, putting underutilized property to productive use, and stimulating construction and construction jobs. The authority hereby determines that the creation or retention of jobs is not a goal of the proposed development for purposes of the business subsidy act. Therefore, the wage and job goals may be set at zero in the agreement in accordance with the business subsidy act. Section 3. Approval of documents and conveyance of authority parcels. Docusign Envelope ID: 1EAF6625-7FB1-4DAE-864C-862F3FA15505 3.01.
