ATTACFiMENTS: HRA MEMO, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT APP VED Y:
For some time now the Dakota County HRA and the City and its Port Authority
have been engaged in preliminary discussions regarding a 40 unit senior
housing project . As you will recall, there was considerable study given to
the question of location for the facility befare the "Old Baptist Church"
site was recently selected by the Port Authority, a decision that must be
confirmed through the City' s normal rezoning process .
At the January 4 meeting the Port Authority approved a development
agreement that would allocate community development bloek grant funds and
excess TIF money for acquisition of the site. The HRA would act as the
developer and co�struct, finance, and operate the building.
Attached for City Council review and approval is the development agreement
and cooperation agreement. The latter pledges the City�s cooperation with
the HR.A in completion of the project. In particular the City agrees to get
utilities to the site for which the HRA would pay the cost, agrees that the
project will be tax exempt, agrees to vacate any easements as may be
necessary to the project and convey th� property to the HRA without charge.
The development agreement establishes a project plan and budget ($580, 000
for the Port Authority share) for the project. As the attached HRA memo
indicates, if the project costs exceed $580, 000 an amended agreement would
be negotiated.
RECOI�NDED ACTION: Motion to a.pprove the development agreement and
cooperation agreement between the Dakota Count�r HRA and the City of
Rosemount initiating the development process for construction of a 40
unit senior housing praject.

FROM: Dakota County Housing & Redevelopment Authority
DATE: January 18, 1994
SL�"BJECT: SENIOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND
COOPERATION AGREEMENT
Attached is the Development Agreement and Caoperation Agreement for
the proposed senior housing project in Rosemaunt. The Development
Agreement encompasses the financial and site decision agreed to by
the Rosemount Port Authority at their January 4 , 1994 meeting.
The Agreements call for the development of a 40-unit senior housing
project by the Dakota County HRA to be located at Cameo Avenue in
between 146th Street and Upper 147th Street. The estimated budget
totals $580, 000 in funding for site acquisition, demolition, and
relocation costs which consists of the church property and at least
six residential praperties. In the event acquisition costs exceed
the estimated budget due to the need af a larger site or in the
event poor soils are encountered, the Agreement will be amended at
that time to accommodate any changes.
The Dakota Caunty HRA is excited about this project and the
possibility af providing attractive affordable senior housing in
the City of Rosemount. Once the Agreements are executed by all
three parties, the HRA will begin acquiring property pursuant to
the 1994 budget.
Tracie Chamberlin and Diane Nordquist of our office will be at the
Council meeting should there be any questions concerning this
matter.

municipai carporation organized and exis�ing under the laws of the
State of Minnesota.
WHEREAS, the Authority is in the pracess of deve�oping and carrying out
a developm�nt withir. the Municipality which it i;� intended will result
in the cc�nstruction of a 40-unit seniar rental faci.lity (the
"Projwct") ; and
WHEREAS, the Municipality and RPA believe that the successful
undertaking and completi4n by the Authority af the Project will be of
substantial benefit to the Municipality and its residents; and
WHEREAS, the Municipality and RPA desire to assist the Authority in the
development of the Project; and
WHEREAS, the Authority intends at this time to proceed with the
acquisition of portions of the property on which the Project is
intended to be located; and
WHEREAS, the ultimate viability and economic feasibility of the project
will require infusion of funding from sources other than the Authority;
and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to set forth their understandings as
to the sources of such fur�ding in order to provide the Autharity with
a level of assurance regarding the Project's longer term economic
viability; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469 . 041 and 471. 59, and other relevant
statutes to set forth their understandings concerning the undertaking
of the Project.
NdW, THEREFORE, the Municipality, the Authority, and RPA do hereby
agree as followsz
Section 1. Authoritu Pro-iect Activities. The Authority shall be
xesponsible for all aspects of undertaking and administering the
Project. Such activities shall include, but not be limited to, the
acquisition of all properties necessary for the Project, including the
use of eminent domain if the Authority determines such use to be
necessary and desirabZe, the rezoning of the Praject properties and the
obtaining of the financing and construetion of the Project; provided,
that the Municipality agrees to cooperate in the Authority's efforts to
reaone the Proj�ct site to multiple residential zoning. AIl
acquisitions shall be undertaken in accordance with Section 3 of this
Agreement. The funding of the acquisition� shall be as set forth in
Section 2 of this Agreement.
_ 2 _
Section 2. a) Fundinq. It is presently anticipated that in order to
accomplish the acquisition of all parcels necessary to undertake the
Project, it will involve the expenditure of appraximately $580, 000.
The Municipality, RPA, and the Authority agree that such acquisitions
will be funded through the use of RPA tax inerement financing funds and
Municipality Community Development Block Grant funds, in the years and
in the amounts set forth below:
Estimated Project Acquisition Costs
Source T994 1995 1996 1997 Totals
Rosemount TIF Funds 0 56 55 55 $166, 000
City CDBG Grants *264 0 150 0 5414 �-000
264 56 205 55 $580, 000
* Includes reprogrammed 1992 CDBG funds
b) Additional Fundina. It is anticipated that the dollar amount
indicated in section 2 (a) (the "Estimated Project Acquisition Cost")
will be sufficient to permit the Authority to acquire and assemble a
site with the required number of square feet to facilitate construction
of the Project. In the event acquisition costs exceed the Estimated
Project Acquisition Cost due to the need to correct poor soil
conditions, the existence of environmentally "hazardous substances" as
defined at Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 115B, the need to acquire
additional land in order to comply with the Municipality zoning or
subdivision ordinances, or due to any other factor which prevents the
Authority from assembling a site far the Project within the Estimated
Project Acquisition Cost, then all parties will mutually agree to
equitably fund the excess of the Estimated Project Acquisition Cost.
Section 3 . Selection of Acquisition Properties. Properties to be
acquired by the Authority shall be selected in the manner provided in
this Section. Because the funding to undertake such acquisitions will
not be available in its entirety at this time and will be provided at
the times and in the amounts set forth in Section 2 above, it is
intended that properties will be acquired from willing sellers on a
lottery basis. The Authority will provide notices to awners of
properties on which the Project is proposed to be located informing
such owners that the Authority is interested in acquiring their
property and that such owners should respond if they desire to have
their properties acquired by the Authority. Owners will be further
informed that properties which are unoccupied, as well as properties
the owners of which have executed waivers of relocation benefits and
services under State and federal law, will be given priority in the
selection process. pwners of proper�ies which are unoccupied and
owners who have executed xelocation waivers will have their properties
acquired by the Authority on a lottery basis. If no such owners
respond, then owners who request the Authority to acquire their
properties will have their properties acquired on a lottery basis to be
- 3 -
conducted by the Authority. Properties will be acquired if and to the
extent that fundi.n� is available to the Au�.hority acc�rding to the
funding schedule set forth in Section 2 ab�;v�. All acquisit�an and
relacatian activity will follaw the federal zy�gulations and procedures
as r�quired under the Unifarm Relocation As< :.sfi ance and Rea3 Prop�r_ty
�cq�aisiti�n Po��_c.�.ies Act of l�"70.
A11 parties a�ree and uraderstand that the obtaining af reloc�tion
waivers fra�t prvspective sellers of praperty may give rise to c:Laims
for 3iability far relocation benefits or serE�ices under app1�.=�abl.e law,
Ta the extent that any such claim� arise and are found to be valid, the
amount of such claims may be considered a project cost ta be shared by
the parties.
Section 4. Cooperation Agreement. It is anticipated that as of
�� d�, 1994 , the Municipality and the Authority will enter into a
�aaperation Agreement, a copy of which Cooperation Agreement is
�attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such Cooperation Agreement is intended
to set forth the agreements, and payments in lieu af taxes during the
operation o€ the Project, The Authority and the Municipality agree
that it may, in the future, be necessary to make certain modifications
to the Cooperation Agreement in order to insure the continued economic
viability of the Project subsequent to constructian of the Project, and
each agrees that it will negotiate with the other in good faith
concerning any such proposed modifications.
Section 5. Project Timinq. It is presently anticipated that if t�e
Authority is able to acquire all properties on which the Project is to
be located, actual construction of the Project may commence in 1997 .
At such time, �he' Authority intends, subject to applicable law and
feasibility analyses, to issue housing bands in order to finance such
development. The Autharity intends that it will operate the Project as
a senior rental facility for a period af not less than 20 years.
Thereafter, the use may be changed with the approval of all the parfi�ies
to this Agreement.
Section 6. Termination of Aetreement. This Agreement may be terminated
by written agreement of all of the parties.

"AN �QUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER"
DAROTA COUNTY HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
PROPOSED 90 UNIT SENIDR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
Question & Answer (2/1/94)
1. What is the Dakota County Senior Housing Capital Improvement
Pragram (CIP) ?
Since 1988 the Dakota County HRA and the Dakota County Board of
Commissioners have provided ongoing support and commitment to
senior housing development in Dakota County. The Senior Housing
Development Program provides a vehicle by which the HRA, the County
Board and Cities within Dakota County can work together to develop
affordable housing for seniors.
2. Why senior housing?
The Dakota County HRA recently completed updating its Needs
Assessmen� and Market Demand Study for Senior Housing in Dakota
County (conducted by Health Planning and Management Resources,
Inc. } . According to this study:
* Senior population growth in Dakota county increased 500
between 1987 and 1992 . The senior population grew faster in
Dakota County than other Metropolitan Gounties.
* In 199? there will be a total demand of 3 ,207 assisted
housing units from seniors living in Dakota County.
* The trend of elderly parents moving to be near children is
increasing. In 1997, almost 1,700 families in Dakota County
will have an immediate need for housing assistance for their
elderly parents.
* There are approximately 1., 548 elderly households on waiting
lists for subsidized housing in Dakota County. The average
wait is about 24 months and even longer for HRA
developments.
The Dakota County HRA's senior housing projects provide affordable
housing for seniors who need to mave out of their homes, often to
be near adult children and senior oriented services. These
buildings have all the facilities needed to incorporate a
congregate housing service program which will allow seniors to "age
in place. "
3. What experience does the Dakota County HRA have in developing
successful senior housing faailities?
With the County's support, the Dakota County HRA has already made
significant progress toward achieving the goals of the Dakota
County Senior Housing CTP. To date, the Dakota County HRA has
completed and fully leased five buildings in Lakeville, West St.
Paul, Hastings, Burnsvil.le, and Eagan. A 20 unit addition to the
Burnsville development was recently completed and a 51 unit
building in Inver Grove Heights is under canstructian. In the
spring of 1993, the Dakota County HRA also financed an addition to
the building in Lakeville and a 50 unit building in Apple Valley on
which construction is e�ected to begin in the spring of 1994,
Three other senior housing developments are planned for the future
and are to be located in the cities of Rasemount, Mendota Heights
and South St. Paul.
9. Why was the Cameo site recommended over the Burma site?
When considering development sites, the Dakota County HRA analyzes
some of the following criteria:
a. proximity to community services, health care, and retail
facilities like grocery shopping
b. architectural criteria - site criteria including site
layout, topography, streetJutility access, surrounding
neighborhood characteristics, etc.
c. cost of site acquisition, and in the case of redevelopment
where existing structures are acquired and cleared, this
includes costs for reloeation and willingness of owners to
se31, and demolition costs.
Based in large part upon this criteria, the Dakota County HRA has
concluded that the Cameo site is the preferred deveiopment site
because:
a. The Cameo site has a more residential feel and would not be
affected by noise from trains, the grain elevator and truck
traffic as would be the case on the Burma site.
b. Preliminary budgets show the Cameo site to be less expensive
in large part due to the potential for vacating a city
street, a potential loss of access for a neighboring
business, and "unwilling sellers. "
5. How are these Dakota County HRA senior developments paid for?
The senior developments are financed by issuing tax exempt bonds
(most recently general obligation bonds) which are supported by
project rents, the Dakata County HRA special benefit levy, and in
some cases signifieant contributions from Cities in the form of tax
increment financing. All Cities have also contributed their
Community Development Block Grant funds to acquire sites.
6. �ho pays for assessments incurred as a result of the senior
development?
The Dakota County HRA pays for all project related costs assessed
to the senior development. The Cooperation Agreement between the
Dakota Caunty HRA and the City of Rosemount states that the Dakota
County HRA will pay ta the City the amount as would be assessed
against the senior development just as if it were a privately owned
project.
7. Nhat about the potential loss of taxes that wauld have been
collected if a private entity were developinq this project?
As per the Cooperation Agreement between the Dakota County HRA and
the City of Rosemount, Dakota County HRA will be required to make
payments in lieu of taxes once the project is occupied and
throughout the operation of the project.
8. What assurance is there that the development will remain a
seaior renta3 facility in the future?
The Development Agreement into which the City of Rosemount, the
Rosemount Port Authority and the Dakota County HRA each enter,
clearly states that: "The Authority (Dakota County HRA) intends
that it will operate the Project as a senior rental facility for a
period of not less than 20 years. Thereafter, the use may be
changed with the approval of all the parties to this Agreement."
9. What is the estimated cost af this senior develapment to the
City of Rosemount?
The City of Rosemount will be raspansible for the acquisition,
relocation and demolition costs associated with the senior
development. The total costs are estimated to be approximately
$580, 000.
l0. Aho controls what the senior develapment is to look like?
The Dakota County HRA usually has a basic development concept in
mind when the site selection is taking place. The basic
development is a three story, 40 unit building with a no
maintenance exterior such as vinyl siding with brick accents.
The Dakota County HRA is always willing to work with the Cities
regarding upgrades to the senior housing developments. However,
because upgrades increase the cost of project development, all
project upgrades are funded through additianal contributions from
the City in which the facility is located. For example, the City
of Hastings provided additional funds to provide an all brick
exterior on Mississippi Terrace, the City of West St. Paul provided
additional funds to make Haskell. Court a two and three level
development, the City of Eagan provided additional funds to both
increase the number of housing units and to provide a stucco
exterior on Oak Woods of Eagan.
Because this project is at an extremely early stage in the
development process, there are no design specifics available at
this time. While the Uakota County HRA can provide examples of
what other completed senior developments look like, it is likely
that the Rosemount development will differ somewhat based upon the
characteristics of the site and the preferences of the City of
Rosemount. �,
Past developments have had 40 to 60 units, with a c�mbination of
one and two bedrooms. Each unit within the senior develapments
contain electric appliances, separate thermostat controls,
emergency call systems in bedside and bath, and air conditioning.
These developments also include a community room equipped with a
commercial grade kitchen, lounges, an elevator, laundry room, on-
site caretaker and under ground heated parking.
11. How does the property acquisition and =esidential relocation
praaess work?
Each property owner will be negotiated with individually for
acquisition of their property. In addition, most property owners
will be eligible for relocatian benefits which will assist them in
locating a comparable replacement home that is functionally
equivalent to {equal to or better) their present home. The Dakota
County HRA will be responsible for all property
acquisition/relocation activities. Because Federal funds will be
used to acquire properties, the Dakota County HRA will abide by the
requirements established within the Uniform Relacation Assistance
and Rea1 Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA) .
12. What is the timeline for this development?
The adoption of the Development and Cooperation Agreements by the
Rosemount Port Authority and the Rosemaunt City Council are the
first step in developing a senior housing facility in Rosemount.
It is expected that construction of a senior housing development
would begin early in 1997 .
A more detailed project schedule is attached for your reference.
13. �hat is going to be done about the natural gas pipeline that
runs through the site?
The Dakota Caunty HR.A is ;�urrently researching options regarding
the pipeline. It is the Dakota County HRA' s first pzeference to
relocate the pipeline so that it does not have to be a
consideration in the design of the senior project.
In the event that relocation is not feasible, the Dakota County HRA
will work with the City of Rosemount to ensure that all zoning and
code requirements are adhered to. Th;3s entire issue will be
researched thoroughly in cooperation with the City of Rosemount and
Peoples Natural Gas.
Any budget revisions as a result of activity with the pipeline _
would have to be approved/negotiated by all parties as this would
not be considered a normal project assessment.
14. When wiil there be an oppartunity for �:ublic co�ent regardinq
this senior housiag development?
Throughout the process it will be necessary for the City of
Rosernount staff inembers/commission members and the Dakota County
HRA to work closely together. Public hearings will be required to
obtain certain approvals during the development process {prior to
any construction taking place) . At this time it is impossible to
forecast the dates on which public hearings would be taking place,
however, it appears likely that such meetings will be taking place
in mid to late 1996.
15. Who can I contact with questions about this senior housing
development?
Citizens should feel free to contact either or both of the
