PURCHASE AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT — KLODT DEVELOPMENT
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion upon closing the public hearing: Move
to approve the Purchase and Development Agreement between the Hopkins Housing &
Redevelopment Authority and Klodt Development, LLC, contingent upon the City of
Hopkins transferring ownership to the Hopkins Housing & Redevelopment Authority.
With this motion it is understood that the Executive Director and Chair have the authority to
execute the agreement and that it is contingent upon the City of Hopkins transferring
ownership and an assignment of the Hennepin County TOD grant requirements.
Overview
As planning for the SW LRT progressed, the vision of 8th Avenue as the connector from
the SW LRT station on Excelsior Boulevard to Mainstreet solidified. In order for 8th Avenue
to be a gateway, the uses along and design of 8th Avenue must be transformed in to an
inviting pedestrian, bike, and automobile corridor. A key site along this corridor, the Park
Nicollet clinic, became available when the clinic was closed in August of 2009.
The HRA entered into an option to purchase the property. A request for proposals went
out in June of 2010 and in March 2011 Klodt Development was selected as the developer
for the site. The City of Hopkins secured a portion of the funds necessary to purchase the
property through grant funds, and the City exercised the option and purchased the
property.
Redevelopment projects are typically undertaken under the powers of the Housing &
Redevelopment Authority. Because the City of Hopkins acquired the property, a transfer
of ownership from the City to the HRA must take place before the property can be sold by
the HRA to the developer. Staff has been in contact with Hennepin County, who provided
grant funds for the acquisition, and they have indicated they will support the transfer to the
HRA for purposes of fulfilling the intent of the grant agreement.

SUMMARY OF CONTRACT FOR PRIVATE REDEVELOPMENT
BETWEEN
HOPKINS HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AND
KLODT DEVELOPMENT, LLC
The following is a brief summary of the major terms of the above referenced development
agreement:
1. Redeveloper. The Redeveloper is Klodt Development, LLC, a Minnesota limited
liability company.
2. Minimum Improvements. The Redeveloper proposes to acquire the former Park
Nicollet site from the Authority and construct in 2 phases a 105 to 120 unit housing development
with approximately 4,500 square feet of space designed to be used for studios, galleries, or
live/work space (the "Flexible Space"). Phase I will abut on 8th Avenue and will consist of
approximately 72 units of rental housing and the 6 units of Flexible Space. Phase II will abut on
9th Avenue and will consist of approximately 39 units of rental housing. All improvements
constructed must conform to construction plans to be submitted to and approved by the
Authority.
3. Purchase Price. The Redeveloper will pay as a purchase price for the property
$10,000 multiplied by the number of residential units to be constructed by the Redeveloper on
the property. The Redeveloper will also attempt to acquire the Lutheran Digest property (the
"Acquisition Property"). If the Redeveloper acquires the Acquisition Property the purchase price
is capped at $1,120,000.
4. Timing of Construction. Demolition of the existing improvements will start in
March, 2013. Subject to excused delays, construction of Phase I will start in April, 2013, and be
substantially completed in May, 2014, and construction of Phase II will start in May, 2013, and
be substantially completed in October, 2014.
5. Compliance with Grant Agreement. The City has received a grant from the
Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority to finance a portion of the cost of
acquiring the Park Nicollet site. The Redeveloper has agreed to comply with all terms of the
grant agreement under which the grant was made.
6. Authority Costs. The Redeveloper will pay all of the Authority's and City's out-
of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the agreement, up
to a maximum of $25,000. If the Redeveloper defaults under the agreement, there is no limit on
the Redeveloper's liability for costs.
7. Leasing of Flexible Space. The agreement provides that the leasing of the
Flexible Space units will be subject to market conditions. The Redeveloper will initially lease
those units to residential tenants. Commencing on the earlier of (i) January 1, 2021 or (ii) the
date on which the Southwest Light Rail Transit Line commences operation within the City
limits, as residential tenants vacate portions of the Flexible Space, such portions shall be listed
with a commercial broker, reasonably acceptable to the Authority, for at least two hundred
seventy (270) days, at an initial rent of $18.00 per square foot (as of 2012, subject to market rate
adjustments in future years), with an improvement allowance of $20.00 per foot. If the Flexible
Space cannot be leased for Flexible Space uses the Redeveloper may lease the space to
residential tenants. However, if the City receives a grant from the Metropolitan Council under
its Livable Communities Demonstration Account Transit Oriented Development Grant Program
and any portion of the grant is made available to the Redeveloper for Phase I, the Redeveloper
will have to repay 1/2 of the amounts made available prorated bases on how much of the Flexible
Space is leased for Flexible Space uses, as opposed to residential uses.
