SUBJECT: Carver County Community Development Agency Community Growth
Partnership Initiative Program
PROPOSED MOTION
"The City Council Adopts a Resolution Approving Application for Funding from the
Carver County Community Development Agency Community Growth Partnership
Initiative Program for the Frontier Redevelopment Site."
City Council approval requires a simple majority vote of the City Council Present.
BACKGROUND
United Properties is pursuing the redevelopment of the Frontier Building. The development
includes an 18,000 square-foot specialty grocery store and a 130-unit market-rate apartment
complex.
ANALYSIS
The proposed development involves extensive site work with the removal of the existing
building and the construction of underground parking.
Staff supported the redevelopment of the site for the following reasons:
1. The existing building has had a useful life cycle and the new buildings will have a higher
quality of design.
2. Both uses are permitted in the zoning district.

Carver County CDA Funding Application
January 23,2017
Page2
In order to assist the developer in defraying the unexpected costs,the city will be applying for
funding from the Carver County Community Development Agency's (CDA) Community
Growth Partnership Initiative Program. This initiative was approved by the CDA in January 2016
with the goals to increase the tax base and improve the quality of life in Carver County. There
are three categories for funding:
• Affordable Housing
• Community Development
• Redevelopment
The redevelopment program is intended to assist cities with redevelopment plan goals. Blighted
and underutilized areas do not maximize their potential economic value and can negatively
impact the livability of a community. We are requesting the maximum grant allowed of$60,000.
The next funding cycle deadline is February 1St. Staff will be making application on behalf of
United Properties.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution approving application for funding from the
Carver County Community Development Agency Community Growth Partnership Initiative
Program for the Frontier Redevelopment Site.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor& City Council
FROM: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
DATE: December 12, 2016
SUBJ: Review Concept Plan for Redevelopment of the Frontier Building and
Request for Tax Increment Financing(TIF)Assistance
Attached is a concept plan by United Properties to redevelop the Frontier building located on
three parcels in the downtown (see Attachment#1). Currently the Frontier building is zoned
central business district. United Properties is proposing to demolish all of the existing buildings
that are located on two of the three lots. In their place, United Properties proposes to build a
18,000 square-foot specialty grocery store and a 130-unit market-rate apartment complex.
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE
The developer is requesting assistance of$1.3 million through a Redevelopment Tax Increment
Financing District (see Attachment#2). An overall assessment of the condition of the buildings
has been completed and it has been determined that it"does meet"the redevelopment district's
criteria for blight standards. The TIF district would exist for 26 years. The total life of the TIF
district is estimated to create $4.2 million (present value)before costs and repayment assistance
(see Attachment#3). The repayment assistance would be given through a pay-as-you-go note
($1.3 million), which means the increment is only disbursed as it is received. The time frame for
the project is that construction will begin by June 1, 2017 with completion no later than August
1, 2018.
The City Council has the power, should it be deemed necessary, to grant tax increment
assistance. In the past, the city has provided TIF assistance to encourage economic development
and a broad range of housing opportunities in the form of affordable housing, senior housing,
and assisted living throughout the community.
This project will promote the redevelopment objective of enhancing the city's tax base by
expanding the market-rate housing opportunities, and increasing the range of goods and services
provided by a specialty grocery business in the core downtown.

ANALYSIS OF REDEVELOPMENT
PROS
• It would boost tax revenues (Attachment #3) by five times the amount being paid today.
Additionally, it would enhance the market value by ten times the current value.
After
Frontier Property Currently Redevelopment
Market Value $2,542,100 $25,050,000
Total Taxes $95,686 $482,720
City Portion of Total Taxes $7,540 $75,730
• The proposed redevelopment is compatible with the existing transit area.
• Adding 130 housing units to the core downtown will help all retailers in the downtown area.
• The Maxfield Housing Study, funded by the Carver County CDA in 2014, stated that
Chanhassen could support 875 general occupancy rental units between 2014 and 2040.
• The culTent redevelopment site is underutilized. With this development, the site would meet
its full development potential.
• Improving the aesthetics of the area by introducing quality architecture.
• Promote redevelopment objectives and removal of blight to enhance the tax base.
• Maximize the full utilization of the existing infrastructure improvements made with the
SouthWest Transit Station.
CONS
• The project will create additional traffic on Market Boulevard between Highway 5 and
West 78th Street. This may require that Market Boulevard be upgraded sooner than later.
Some of the costs associated with the upgrade could come from future increment derived
from the TIF district. Roadway improvement costs are estimated at $3.2 million.
• Potential loss of existing tenants from the Frontier Building. There are opportunities for
these tenants to relocate in the community, but their rental rates will most likely be higher.

• The developer is requesting$1.3 million of assistance to be used for building demolition, soil
corrections, special assessment write-down, and land write-down. The city's financial
advisor from Ehlers, Inc. has completed a preliminary review of the developer's "But-For
Test"regarding the assistance and whether the criteria satisfies state statute. Based on their
review, they have determined that the project meets the"But-For Test" and would not
happen solely through private investment in the foreseeable future. Staff believes the
redevelopment with public investment will yield a net increase in market value for the site,
and the redevelopment of this site would not occur without TIF.
COUNCIL ACTION
Staff is looking for direction from the City Council to proceed with the negotiation of a private
redevelopment agreement and the creation of a Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing
District. The increment generated from this district will assist the developer with$1.3 million in
TIF assistance to construct a 18,000 square-foot specialty grocery store and a 130-unit market-
rate apartment complex.

UNITED PROPERTIES
CREATING DEEP ROOTS
United Properties— Downtown Chanhassen Mixed-Use
525 W. 78th Street
Redevelopment Summary
December 5, 2016
Introduction
United Properties is pleased to present a mixed-use redevelopment opportunity in downtown
Chanhassen that will include approximately 130 market-rate apartment units and an 18,000 sf
Aldi grocery store. The address for the proposed redevelopment is 525 West 78th Street and is
bordered by the Chanhassen Movie Theater and Country Inn & Suites to the west,the
Chanhassen Dinner Theater to the East, and the SW Metro Park & Ride to the south. This
location is very appealing for people seeking to live in Chanhassen MN that desire close
proximity to Chanhassen's substantial arts, entertainment, outdoor, civic, and retail offering
while having immediate access to public transit as well has highway 5. The site is approximately
4 acres and currently contains a partially occupied multi-tenant retail building commonly
known as the Frontier Building.
Site Redevelopment
The sites redevelopment will include demolition of the existing Frontier Building and
construction of a new 192,000 sf mixed use building. Due to the existing shared parking and
access easements on the site it is necessary to construct any new building in the same footprint
as the existing Frontier Building. This space constraint posed a significant challenge to our
design effort which was aimed at maximizing the sites use with a high floor to area ratio (aka:
high site density) while offering an excellent place to live along with a new grocery offering to
the downtown Chanhassen marketplace. Through several months of design effort we have
established a design that accepts the sites constraints and meets the design objectives.
Site Uses
At the onset of our redevelopment effort we solicited retail interest in this location from four
different grocers that we believed could be viable for this small footprint site. The four grocers
were Aldi, Whole Foods, Fresh Thyme and Trader Joes. We are fortunate that one of the four
(Aldi) expressed a desire for this location. We were reminded of this good fortune throughout
the design process as we quickly realized that due to the site (easement) constraints, any grocer
over 18,000 sf would be very difficult to spatially accommodate along with an apartment
3600 American Blvd.W. Suite 750 Minneapolis,
MN 55431
T 952.835.5300 uproperties.com
building. The 18,000 sf Aldi grocery store is an ideal size to coexist with a market-rate
apartment building. This compatibility allows the stores primary customer entrance to face W.
78th street but also affords space for the apartment building to have a prominent W. 78th street
entrance that will include the leasing office for prospective tenants. The Aldi customer parking
needs will be met with the northern surface parking lot along W. 78th while the primary
residential parking needs will be met by the southern surface parking lot and the 134 stall
enclosed and climate controlled parking garage.
Aldi is a leading global supermarket chain with over 10,000 stores in 18 countries. Aldi stores
focus on a select assortment of essentials or "must haves" and offer many name brands as well
as brands that are unique to Aldi. Customers utilize their own reusable grocery bags, and
shopping carts are kept in one convenient location as opposed utilizing eco-unfriendly bags and
parking lot cart corrals that waste a lot of space and often give a parking lot a disorganized
appearance. Aldi's conservative approach allows them to deliver and maintain a quality store
and shopping experience. This conservative approach also affords Aldi to offer a high quality
product at a lower price than their competitors which will provide the Chanhassen shopper a
new alternative.
Public Benefits
In addition to being a great place to live and shop the redevelopment will provide a very visible
and high quality building next to the Landmark Chanhassen Dinner Theater. The six story build
will be visible from highway 5 and help to further establish downtown Chanhassen as a place to
be and live. The 130 residential units will contain a mix of 1, 2, and 3 bedrooms. A resident
population of 250 is likely for a building of this size. Our market study of the area shows strong
demand from the "empty-nester" (55+) and millennial demographic. We anticipate that our
residents will not only be frequent customers of the grocery store at their doorstep but
customers throughout downtown Chanhassen. The location will offer our residents the
convenience to walk or bike throughout Chanhassen if they choose to leave their vehicle in the
garage. The walkability of this site will increase pedestrian presence and activity throughout
downtown Chanhassen.
Another public benefit is the strength and stability of the Aldi grocery chain. There is little
worse for the vibrancy of an area than closed businesses and storefronts. A closed business at
the base of an apartment building would have a very negative impact on residential leasing and
vacancy. Aldi Inc. is one of the world's largest privately owned companies. Their business
model combined with their outstanding and virtually unmatched credit provides great certainty
that an Aldi store within our proposed redevelopment will remain open and thriving for many,
many years.
The public will also benefit financially from this redevelopment. The total redevelopment
budget is in excess of$30 million with a construction cost alone of approximately$25 million.
The design and construction of this redevelopment will create approximately 200 (full time and
part time) new jobs. The grocery store operations and residential management will create
approximately 50 (full and part time) new jobs.
The property location and blighted condition of the existing buildings results in the potential
establishment qualified redevelopment TIF district. The property tax base that is generated by
the redevelopment will exceed the tax base of the existing property by many times. The
increased tax base (or Tax Increment) combined with the establishment of a TIF district will
allow the City to utilized the available tax increment. Due to the high cost of construction in
2017 and market rent achievable within the market we are requesting the City Council to
approve $1.3 million of the available tax increment to offset a portion of redevelopment cost
and make the redevelopment financially viable and achieve the associated public benefit. The
balance of available tax increment could be utilized by the City of Chanhassen for offsite
improvements.
Timing/Phasing
Predicated upon municipal approvals the first half of 2017 we anticipate redevelopment to
commence in summer 2017. The projects construction duration is expected to be
approximately 14 months which will result in a grand opening of the grocery store and
apartment building in fall of 2018.
Conclusion
We are excited to present a redevelopment opportunity that we can deliver and will make a
positive impact on the community. If City support is received, we are prepared and ready to
begin the next phase of the redevelopment effort. We truly believe that this redevelopment
will be a great addition to downtown Chanhassen, is the right use for this location, and we
respectfully request that the Mayor and City Council of Chanhassen provide their support for
the mixed-use redevelopment and tax increment financing described in this memo.

MEMORANDUM
'TO: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
Kate Aanenson,Community Development Director
FROM: Gordon Hughes and Cathy Bennett, ULI Minnesota
DATE: April 11, 2012
SUBJECT: ULI Minnesota Navigating the New Normal Workshop
On behalf of UL1 Minnesota,thank you for the opportunity to meet with you, the City Council,
Planning Commission and staff on April 2,2013.Our ULI MN workshop team enjoyed our
dialogue with you and appreciated your hospitality. We also appreciated the time that you spent
with us in preparation for this workshop.
As a follow up to the workshop,we would like to take a moment to summarize some of the key
observations expressed during our dialogue and panel discussion.
• Data on demographics,employment and jobs in Chanhassen,presented at the workshop,
offered a point of reference for trends that will affect the City in coming years. Please
feel free to contact us if you have any follow up questions on the data presented at the
workshop.
• Chanhassen has a number of key strengths and assets. It has two excellent school
districts,a healthy tax base, strong market acceptance and long-term, committed elected
and appointed officials. In addition,Chanhassen benefits from an authentic downtown
that virtually all cities yearn for and try to replicate.These assets position the City to be a
very desirable development/redevelopment location.
• The Next Generation is not just looking for a community, but also a sense of place which
includes jobs,social and technological connectedness,restaurants,diversity, quality
housing at affordable price and access to state of the art technology. Density,
walkability,creativity and access to services such as recreation and fitness facilities are
key desires of this group.These characteristics are also important to Boomers in their
selection of communities for the next phase of their lives. As the Next Generation ages,
their interests expand to include quality schools, safe neighborhoods and quality housing
at an affordable price.
• Chanhassen is a"seller community", i.e. a community that is well-situated with strong
demographics and market. Notwithstanding this strong position, the City should realize
that the Great Recession has seriously affected the development community.Qualified
1
developers who remain in business are selective about the communities in which they
work and are looking for predictability and flexibility during times of scarce resources.
Cities which embrace collaborative approaches to solving problems, identify and pursue
partnerships, manage development risks, improve decision making skills and develop
clear expectations will rise to the top during difficult economic times.
• Difficulties with accessing private capital have increased the complexity of development
deals. It will be critical that the City's response to private development and
redevelopment remains collaborative while reasonable risks are considered to achieve
community goals. A risk position on the part of the City is not necessarily a bad thing as
long as the City evaluates its risk tolerance and plans accordingly. To that end, it is
important for the City to prioritize its wants and needs and its willingness to be a
financial participant if the deal advances the City's goals. .
• Successful communities develop a clear vision,react appropriately to opportunities,
create innovative financial tools and leverage their key assets. Leadership and
"consistency of vision"are keys to successful communities,especially the alignment of
policy direction between elected officials and staff. Developers' greatest enemies arc
uncertainty and risk. Both developers and lenders are even more risk averse now due to
steeper equity requirements and higher tenant commitments, so communities that can be
very clear about their expectations and have policies and procedures that expedite
approvals for projects that are consistent with their vision will prevail. This starts by
having a council that is all on the same page.Communities led by divided councils do not
create atmospheres that are conducive for investment.This is not the case in Chanhassen.
• Successful communities are smart about community engagement. The city may be better
served by involving the community more in the planning and policy development stage
(creating the standards)and less at the project approval stage. The development
community also values cities which "own their process", i.e.do not abdicate their
leadership role and decision making to neighborhood groups and naysayers.
• Successful communities maintain a strong mutually respectful relationship with their
staff. Staff members are usually the first people to meet with developers and other
prospective investors. Those investors need to know that the staff understands what the
Council wants and expects so they can respond accordingly.
• Chanhassen has done a great job in positioning itself as a successful community due
principally to the commitment of its elected and appointed officials and staff.
2
Based on these observations, Chanhassen may wish to pursue the following ideas:
• Chanhassen enjoys the many benefits afforded by an "authentic"downtown. The
incorporation of higher density, mixed income housing in potentially taller buildings in
the downtown core may be a great approach for attracting new younger residents and
retaining existing residents (primarily Boomers)who arc looking for a different style of
housing in close proximity to the amenities offered downtown.
• Chanhassen has done a good job in aligning City financial resources with the needs of
particular development and redevelopment initiatives. Nevertheless, Chanhassen should
revisit the financial role the City would consider for future development and
redevelopment opportunities. As noted earlier, quality developers will continue to seek
out communities that have crafted a well-reasoned and predictable partnership model
with respect to public/private ventures - especially those cities which are viewed by
private lenders as being committed to the ultimate success of a project.
• The City should evaluate a plan to improve the sidewalk and trail system not only within
neighborhoods but as connectors to important community assets such as downtown.
Walkability is highly valued by both the Next Generation and Boomers. Improvements to
the sidewalk and trail system will provide an excellent return on investment for the City.
• The City should review providing programs and/or partnerships that support affordable
workforce housing to diversify the housing stock and increase the availability of options
for younger families and children of the Boomers in your City.
• We provided copies of ULI MN (Re)Development-Ready Guide-a tool to establishing
(re)development policies and practices that use scarce public dollars to attract private
investment,grow jobs,and build tax base for the well-being of your city. We encourage
you to consult this guide as a way to evaluate your policies and practices.
On behalf of ULI MN, thank you again for hosting this workshop.
