Council Report 2012-129
METROPOLITAN COUNCIL TAX BASE REVITALIZATION ACCOUNT GRANT
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Approve Resolution 2012-083 authorizing
an application to Metropolitan Council for Tax Base Revitalization Account grant funds for the
Gallery Flats development on the Lutheran Digest and Park Nicollet sites.
Overview
The Metropolitan Council's Tax Base Revitalization Account (TBRA) provides funds to
investigate and clean up polluted land in areas that have lost commercial activity to make them
available for economic redevelopment that enhances the tax base of the applying community.
It also intends to promote job retention or job growth and/or the production of affordable
housing.
This source of funding is intended for projects that have recently completed investigation and
are seeking assistance with the cost of implementing a cleanup plan and begin redevelopment.
This is the case for the Gallery Flats (Park Nicollet/Lutheran Digest) site.
Staff is recommending an application for $15,000 to be used for cleanup including soil
handling, tank removal, asbestos and lead-based paint abatement.
Primary Issues to Consider
• What does the application consist of?
• Why should Hopkins apply for TBRA funding?
• What other sources are being sought for cleanup on the Gallery Flats site?

Analysis of Issues
What does the application consist of?
The application requests project information including terms of the development agreement,
unit and job counts, and an overall project budget. Past, current, and future site characteristics
are described. Significant detail about the environmental investigation and cleanup to date is
also included.
Why should Hopkins apply for TBRA funding?
TBRA and other sources of environmental funding are excellent ways to support
redevelopment projects without an impact to the city budget. The improved environmental
condition of property in Hopkins is a benefit to the entire community.
What other sources are being sought for cleanup on the Gallery Flats site?
The table below summarizes past and pending grant applications for environmental
investigation and cleanup for the Gallery Flats project. The grant application pertaining to this

Metropolitan Council TBRA Grant Program Coordinator (651) 602-1054
1: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
The Metropolitan Livable Communities Act (MN Statutes Chapter 473.252) created the Tax Base
Revitalization Account (TBRA). The Tax Base Revitalization Account provides funds to investigate and
clean up polluted land in areas that have lost commercial/industrial activity to make them available for
economic redevelopment that enhances the tax base of the recipient municipality while promoting job
retention or job growth and/or the production of affordable housing.
Contamination cleanup grants are intended for applicants that have recently completed their cleanup site
investigation and are seeking public funding to assist with the cost of implementing a cleanup plan and
begin redevelopment. TBRA contamination cleanup funds arc awarded on a competitive basis to
redevelopment projects that will start construction within three -years of receiving a grant award.
The TBRA funds are raised by a legislatively authorized levy capped at $5 million annually. Funding
available for contamination cleanup applications this funding cycle is up to $2.25 million. Up to $125,000
may also be added if insufficient eligible applications are received for contamination site investigations.
Applications will be accepted on November I. The Account is coordinated with complementary programs
at the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (PCA), the Minnesota Department of Employment and
Economic Development (DEED), Hennepin County and Ramsey County.
2: ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS
The following entities arc eligible to apply: statutory or home rule charter cities or towns that are
participating in the .1lelropolilan Livuhle Communities Housing Incentives Program. Metropolitan
counties and local development authorities (e.g., Housing and Redevelopment Authority, Economic
Development Authority or Port Authority) are also eligible to apply for projects that are located in LCA -
participating communities. A list of communities currently participating in LCA may be found at
http://www.mctn,cuuniiL0111 SCr\irr, 11\ C0111111 I (_Ar0nnnnniitirs.hun.
Cleanup -site applications will be detennined ineligible for funding if an analysis of the proposal
determines:
• the funding requested is not needed in order for the project to proceed;
• eligible cleanup costs are equal to one percent ( I`/o) or less than the total project development
costs. (it is expected that modest cleanup costs can be reasonably absorbed without Council
assistance.);
• redevelopment proposals that will not generate property taxes or payments in lieu of taxes
(PILOT);
• the application does not score at least 401% (60 points) of the total points available to be awarded
(150 points): or
• project has an application under review for cleanup of contamination through the Livable
Communities Transit -Oriented Development program with an overlapping review period
Cleanup -site applications may be determined ineligible for funding if:
• adequate clean-up funding is available from other public and private sources;
• the project requires extensive new (regional) infrastructure beyond that which is already planned
• the proposal is not consistent with the redevelopment component of the municipality's
comprehensive plan (Minn. Stat. §473.1159, Subd. 5).
3: ELIGIBLE and INELIGIBLE USE OF FUNDS
Soil and ground water contamination cleanup
TBRA funding can help pay the cost difference between building on a contaminated site and building on
a clean site. Costs directly related to cleaning up contaminated soil or ground water or combinations
thereof are eligible for TBRA grant funds.
All cleanup costs must be incurred after the grant award date to be eligible for reimbursement.
(Applicants with previously incurred cleanup costs that are seeking additional funding for projects that
have already received TBRA funding should refer to the section Cleanup Funding for Costs Already
Incurred below.)
Eligible Uses:
• Excavation, transportation, disposal fees for removal of contaminated soil, back fill and grading
of clean soil conducted according to the RAP submitted with the application are eligible for grant
funding. Projects that have requested a RAP amendment and received approval from the PCA
must submit the updated documents to the TBRA coordinator prior to submission of the
corresponding payment request for soil or groundwater remediation.
• The costs for replacing contaminated fill with clean fill are eligible to the extent that the soil
replacement is related to removing contamination.
• Costs associated with soil vapor mitigation based on data analysis provided that demonstrate soil
vapors exceed PCA intrusion screening value thresholds.
• Actions documenting environmental monitoring systems or the successful implementation of a
RAP such as technical writing are eligible for reimbursement.
Ineligible Uses:
• Excess contaminated soil that does not exceed the appropriate cleanup standards (Tier I
Residential or Tier II Industrial) but does not meet the standard for "clean fill" is eligible for
reimbursement of disposal costs only. (The standard costs for excavating, loading and
transporting of mildly contaminated soil are not eligible.)
• The costs related to improving the geotechnical qualities of the soil for building purposes are not
eligible.
• The cost of removing clean fill or excess clean soil.
• Non -hazardous wastes, such as household waste, construction debris and solid waste such as old
tires are not eligible for TBRA funding.
In order to minimize the amount of funds needed to replace contaminated soils, applicants are encouraged
to design and implement projects in a way that minimizes the amount of backfill needed to replace the
contaminated soils (e.g. underground parking, basements). Any underground use must be consistent with
the approved RAP.
Asbestos or lead-based paint abatement
TBRA funding can help pay the cost of adaptive reuse of an existing building or pre -demolition activities
related to blighted or obsolete structures. TBRA contamination cleanup funding may be used for costs
associated with asbestos and lead-based paint abatement in accordance with state and federal standards
established by the Minnesota Department of Health, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act
(AHERA) and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting
Rule.
All abatement costs must be incurred after the grant award date to be eligible for reimbursement.
(Applicants with previously incurred abatement costs that are seeking additional funding for projects that
have already received TBRA funding should refer to the section Cleanup Funding for Costs Already
Incurred below.)
Eligible Uses:
• Abatement area containment
• Asbestos removal or encapsulation
• Lead-based paint removal or stabilization
• Asbestos and/or lead-based paint loading, transport and disposal
Ineligible Uses:
Interior demolition not directly needed for abatement purposes is not eligible for funding
reimbursement.
Costs for abating other types of hazardous contamination found in buildings, such as mercury in
thermostats, oils in door closers, and other contamination related to HVAC systems, are generally
not eligible for reimbursement.
Handling or removal of non -hazardous wastes, such construction debris and solid waste are not
eligible for TBRA funding.
Other ineligible costs
Also ineligible are "soft costs" such as administrative overhead, travel expenses, legal fees, bonds,
insurance, permits, licenses or authorization fees, costs associated with preparing grant proposals or
applications or bids, project coordination costs, operating expenses, planning costs, and prorated lease and
salary costs.
More detail on eligible and ineligible costs is available on the Metropolitan Council website. See YBRA
Eligible/IneligiN t t()i ( rant",
Cleanup Funding for Costs Already Incurred
Only projects with a prior active TBRA grant are eligible for requesting additional grant funding for
cleanup activities that will occur prior to a grant award date. In order for such supplemental
contamination cleanup activities to be considered eligible for funding applicants must meet the following
four conditions:
A. The additional cleanup work for which funding is being requested must have been done no earlier
than 180 days before the TBRA application deadline (typically November 1" or May I")
B. For soil and ground water remediation work the PCA must have approved a RAP for the project
prior to commencing work; for asbestos abatement a Minnesota Department of Health (MDH)
licensed inspector/contractor must have completed an asbestos evaluation and plan according to
Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) standards; for lead-based paint abatement
an MDH licensed inspector/contractor must have completed a lead-based paint evaluation
according to MDH and TSCA standards
C. The applicant must have contacted the Metropolitan Council TBRA staff prior to commencing
any of the cleanup work that will be requested for reimbursement. A site visit with the applicant
and TBRA staff is recommended so that there is clear understanding of the project and the
proposed remediation.
D. Before starting the cleanup work the applicant must provide a letter to the Council TBRA staff
that explains why the applicant needs to commence the cleanup work prior to the TBRA
application deadline and states:
1) The applicant is going to start project cleanup work before the next TBRA application
deadline; and the applicant has the appropriate approvals (see B above)
2) The applicant understands that while this notification process makes the work done after the
Council receives the letter eligible for consideration in the next TBRA grant round, it DOES
NOT commit the Council to funding the project.
Environmental Site Investigation
TBRA grants funds may also be used for recently incurred environmental site investigation costs related
to contaminated site cleanup.
The investigation work must be done within the 180 -days prior to the TBRA application deadline
for the proposed redevelopment.
Eligible uses of funds include:
o conducting Phase I and Phase II environmental site investigations and preparation of
Response Action Plans (RAPS) developed in conjunction with the PCA for hazardous waste;
or Development Response Action Plans (DRAPs) developed in conjunction with the PCA for
petroleum; or
o preparing asbestos abatement plans that meet AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency
Response Act) and Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) standards; or
o preparing lead-based paint abatement plans that meet Minnesota Department of Health
(MDH) standards and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
• The costs for the investigation work incurred included in a contamination cleanup grant request
will only be reimbursed if the TBRA applicant's overall project is recommended for funding.
Matching DEED funds - TBRA funds may be requested to provide up to 13% of the total eligible
project cleanup costs as part of the 25% local match for cleanup costs required in DEED's Contamination
Cleanup Grant Program. Applicants may request more than 13% of the total eligible cleanup costs from
TBRA in unmatched funds. However, DEED's program requires that 12% of the total cleanup costs
requested from DEED be from local funds. There is no matching fund requirement for TBRA
contamination cleanup grants.
Affordable Housing - if the proposed redevelopment includes an affordable housing component, for
TBRA applications submitted in 2012 affordable housing is defined as ownership or rental housing
affordable to households earning 60% of the area median income (AMI). Projects are evaluated on the
amount of affordable housing relative to the amount of TBRA funding requested for the project.
Affordability limits for 2012 include any units for sale at $171,500 or less. For 2012, the maximum gross
rent affordable at the 60% level was based on the number of bedrooms as follows: efficiency $882, 1 -
bedroom $945, 2 -bedrooms $1,134, 3 -bedrooms $1,309, 4 -bedrooms $1,461 including tenant -paid
utilities.
iv
4: AWARDING GRANTS/ COMPETITIVE PROCESS
The Livable Communities Act requires that the Metropolitan Council consider certain factors in order to
ensure the highest return in public benefits for the public costs incurred. In order to evaluate applications,
the following criteria will be assigned point values to compare each applicant's proposal against the
others in the grant cycle. Upon review. applicants must score at least 40% (60 points) of the total
points available (150 points) in order to be eligible for grant funding. Consultation with Council staff
and external partners, including DEED the PCA, and others informs the process of evaluating the
applications.
If cleanup costs for a project are greater than the amount of funding available in the current grant round,
applications for additional funding may be submitted in future grant rounds. However, commitments to
complete the cleanup and proceed with redevelopment must not be contingent on subsequent awards of
clean-up funding.
Each award of TBRA funding is expected to be expended and redevelopment construction must begin
before the expiration of the grant term. Contamination cleanup grants awarded for applications received
in the fall will have a grant term ending December 31, 2015. Applicants that are unable to start
construction within the grant term but have made significant progress toward that goal will have an
opportunity to request a two-year grant extension related to the cleanup and start of construction of the
redevelopment project.
Applications for contamination cleanup will be evaluated according to the extent to which they
demonstrate the following:
25points)
Increase the tax base of the recipient municipality
20 points
Add tax revenue in the near term. (Projects not in a TIF (Tax increment Finance)

The applicant's Housing Performance Score will be converted from a 100 point 20 points
scale to a 20 point scale. If a proposed project includes new affordable housing or if
affordable housing is located within the project site/area, the proposal will be held
harmless by assigning the higher of the community's actual score or the average
score for this section from all proposals.
TOTAL 150 oints
If applications for grants exceed the available funds for an application cycle, no more than one-half of the
funds may be granted to projects in a single city and no more than three-quarters of the funds may be
granted to projects located in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
5: LOCAL SUPPORT
Any application for funds under this program must include a resolution from the local unit of government
within which the proposed project is located. The resolution must affirm that the project would not occur
through private or other public investment without Council funding.
Municipalities occasionally partner with counties or other agencies (e.g., a county, housing or
development/redevelopment authorities; collectively, "Partners") when preparing application for funds;
however, only one eligible entity may be cited as the applicant. If the application is successful, that
applicant will become the grantee. When applications are submitted by a Partner, resolutions of support
must be included from both the municipality and the Partner. The named applicant is expected to
administer the grant should the application be successful. [See example, Attachment B.]
vi
6: REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Recipients of Tax Base Revitalization Account grants must submit progress and annual reports.
Semiannual progress reports are required during the grant term for active grants. Additional annual
reports are required in the spring atter the termination of the grant period and three years annually
thereafter to the Metropolitan Council. Annual reporting includes:
1) the site cleanup and/or development activities completed in the previous calendar year,
2) the amount of net tax capacity and the total property taxes paid on this parcel(s) (land and
buildings) for the preceding year, and
3) the number of full-time equivalent jobs ( FTEs) including both part-time and full-time jobs on the
site at the end of the previous year, and the number of the FTEs that are at or above living -wage
level.

Site History
Summarize the previous land use(s) on the project site.
The site was developed with 8 houses and a store in the southeast
corner by 1889. By 1930 two more houses were added and the store
was converted to apartments. Houses in the northwest portion were
razed in the 1960s and a bank was constructed in this area in 1970,
accompanied by the razing of the remaining houses on the site. Park
Nicollect Clinic was built in 1977. The bank building was sold to
Lutheran Digest in 1992 and both buildings have been vacant since
2008.

Section
6: Redevelopment Market Demand and Status
1.
Describe the anticipated market demand for the proposed redevelopment identified in Section 2.
This location offers uniquely favorable conditions that are difficult to surpass in other Twin City locations,
so the proposed development will have a very high market demand. The site is within a very short
walking distance to both a main street retail environment as well as the future light rail station. It is also
at the hub of a regional bike trail system that heads out in four directions. The dwelling units that are
being proposed will be occupied by people of all ages that desire to be close to these amenities. Klodt
Incorporated and its related holding companies have developed 300 similar luxury rental units in south
Minneapolis along the Hiawatha Light Rail corridor and currently sit with buildings that are 100%
occupied. From young people just starting out on their own, to retired seniors that are living
independently and still want to be in their own neighborhood, the population in these buildings will be as
broad as the whole marketplace. New luxury rental units are scarce in the immediate Hopkins downtown
area, and this development will fill that need.
The Hopkins Station Area Plan proposed creation of the 8th Avenue Promenade that would include the re-
designation of the sidewalks along 8th Avenue between Main Street and Excelsior Boulevard as a quality
pedestrian environment—tree lined boulevards, sidewalk pavers, enhanced street lighting, complete with
banner arms, etc. This will visually and physically improve the link between the City's Main Street "heart"
and its transit connection to points beyond Hopkins and be located along the east property boundary of
the proposed development. The plan also includes a trolley shuttle along 8th Avenue connecting
downtown and the transit station enhancing the live/work environment that is in high demand.

Section 9: Redevelopment Framework 2030 Goals
1.
Redevelopment Density
How does the proposed redevelopment project accommodate growth'? For the purpose of this application,
growth is measured by assessing the proposed redevelopment project's density using the gross floor area
ratio (FAR) of the site (gross square footage of all proposed new or renovated structures on the site divided
by gross square footage of the project area). For housing projects, please also include units per acre. (The
project "site arca" is defined as the extent of the contamination and the area immediately around it that is
essential to cleaning up the site and implementing the proposed redevelopment construction within 3 years.)
For commercial/industrial and mixed-use projects 178,448 / 78,797 — 2.26
Fluor area site area (FAR)
For projects that include housing (including mixed use): 91.00 units per acre.

❑other (Describe):
How does the proposed housing to be constructed selected above diversify existing local housing options?
The majority of the rental apartment stock near downtown Hopkins are older buildings that were built in
the 60s and 70s that do not offer the conveniences and amenities that the Gallery Flat project will offer.
They include underground enclosed parking, laundries within each unit, balconies or patios, energy
efficiency, and modern kitchens, to name a few. The project itself, will offer over 20 different floor plans. A
smaller new rental project was built a couple blocks away, on Main Street, that opened up this past
summer and it has completely filled. This is a product that will be in demand in this community.
3.
Affordable Housing
If the proposed redevelopment includes an affordable housing component, for TBRA applications submitted
in 2012, affordable housing is defined as ownership or rental housing affordable to households earning 60%
of the area median income (AMI). Affordability limits for 2012 are not available. Affordability limits for
2012 include any units for sale at $171,500 or less. For 2012. the maximum gross rent affordable at the 60'%O
level was based on the number of bedrooms as follows: efficiency $882, l -bedroom $945, 2 -bedrooms
$1,134, 3 -bedrooms $1.309, 4 -bedrooms $1.461 including tenant -paid utilities.
Ownership Units Rental Units
Total Units 163
Affordable Units 1
When are the units expected to be ready for occupancy'? 4/2014 (month & year)
The Metropolitan Council evaluates each LCA participating community's efforts to provide affordable
housing and provides a score for each community. (The applicant community's Housing Performance Score
will be converted from a 100 point scale to a 20 point scale. If a proposed project includes new affordable
housing or if affordable housing is located within the project site/area, the proposal will be held harmless by
assigning the higher of two scores — the community's actual score or the average score for this section from
all proposals.)

Section
12: Consistencv with Local Comprehensive Plan
Describe how the proposed redevelopment is consistent with the planned land use identified in the local
comprehensive plan that has been reviewed by the Metropolitan Council and any adopted area or
neighborhood plants)
The comprehensive plan states mixed land use is intended to capture anticipated redevelopment
initiatives associated with the proposed LRT station. The density range for this category establishes a
minimum threshold of 30+ units per acre. It is assumed the mixed use category will develop at 60%
residential and 40% commercial. The Hopkins Station Area Plan completed in 2008 addresses preferred
density range and uses at the Hopkins LRT station. It proposes mixed-use development to serve the
proposed downtown LRT station at 8th Avenue. In this area, the City envisions higher density residential
with offices to create a live/work environment. Retail development associated with redevelopment
should be limited to 8th Avenue, with the majority of retail located along Main Street.
The proposed redevelopment will be a mixed-use apartment complex with retail stores and restaurants at
street level with apartments above that will coincide perfectly with the desired land use outlined in the
comprehensive plan and Hopkins Station Area Plan. The development will also revitalize the blighted and
underutilized former medical clinic building and former Lutheran Digest building and create a walkable
community link between the Hopkins LRT Station and downtown.
If inconsistent, describe how the plan and the project will be made consistent.
