June 1, 2005 ~ Sand Companies Tax Credit Application Discussion DATE: RE: BACKGROUND The Sand Companies have acquired the property at the northwest comer of new Highway 212 and the relocated Highway 101. Within their entire development, which is proposed to include 150 housing units and six acres of commercial development, they intend to construct a 48 unit apartment complex. The Sand Companies have had success in the past in constructing apartment complexes that are in the more affordable price range than many of the housing options currently available. The Sand Companies are in the process of applying for the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency 2005 Housing Tax Credit Program. This is a very competitive process, as numerous applications are submitted for a finite amount of resources. One way in which their application can gain additional points is for the local jurisdiction to assist in their application. There are numerous ways in which the city could help, and they include: . Waiver of assessments . Density bonuses . Reduced setbacks . Decrease road widths . Flexibility in standards . Waiver of fees . Tax Increment Financing Their PUD application is being considered by the Planning Commission on June ih, with an anticipated City Council date of June 2ih. The tax credit application is due on June 28th, so they are looking for any direction possible for their application. Some of the above items may be addressed in the PUD which is currently being developed (setbacks, flexibility in standards, etc.). However, the developer is interested in learning if the city council is willing to create a Tax Increment Financing (TIP) district to help support the project. If a district were to be created, staff would recommend that it be structured similar to the Presbyterian Homes district. In that case, the developer is receiving 90% of the increment produced for five years, then 50% of the increment produced for another two years (total of seven years). While exact numbers would have to be fleshed out, a preliminary analysis would look like this: The City of Chanhassen . A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play 48 units paying $1,200/year in taxes 90% of increment for five years 50% of increment for two additional years Estimated total contribution $57,600 $259,200 $57,600 $316,800 This is a very preliminary number, and cannot predict future tax rates or property assessments. A full process, including a financial analysis and public hearings, would still need to be followed in order for a TIP district to be approved. Representatives from the Sand Companies will be present at Monday's meeting to make a brief presentation about their company and project. RECOMMENDATION Since the deadline for the tax credit application is rapidly approaching, the developer would like some direction on what, if any, assistance the City is interested in approving. While formal approvals cannot be provided by the deadline, a letter of support indicating what the City is willing to provide will assist the developer in their application process. --~.

Gateway Place . A Multifamil;9 Livil1fj Communit;9 Executive Summary The proposal described herein is to request support from the City of Chanhassen for a 48 unit affordable housing, tax credit development at the northwest comer of new Highways 101 and 212 called "Gateway Place". The three story apartment style building will include underground heated parking with six one bedroom units, twenty-seven two bedroom units and fifteen three bedroom units. The location of Gateway Place is a perfect fit for the Smart Growth concept as the site does not require extensions of water and sewer, is near many services and jobs and has easy access to transportation as it is just north of the future Southwest Metro Transit Station. With support and assistance from the City of Chanhassen, Gateway Place will be a secure, well-maintained and managed community that offers life cycle housing opportunities for the residents of Chanhassen.

Development Location Future Residential & Commercial Future SW Metro Transit Station Site w/Highways 101 &212 t:i~l Gateway Place Development Plans 2 Development Site On May 2, 2005, Sand Properties, Inc. purchased 20.17 acres from James and Barbara Curry which encompasses land at the northwest and southwest quadrants of future Highways 101 and 212. (See Attachment I) Development Site The development site for Gateway Place is 2.19 acres in size and fronts future Lake Susan Drive to the north, future Highway 212 to the south and the newly aligned Highway 101 to the east. The property to the west of the site is also being developed by Sand Companies, Inc. and its proposed use is residential townhomes. The site will share a common access with the townhomes with signage located at the access point. The site will be fully landscaped with trees, shrubs, sod and lawn irrigation system. A private tot lot for the children of Gateway Place will be located in the courtyard on the east side of the building along with a patio area with grills, picnic tables and benches. Forty-eight surface parking stalls are proposed along with an access drive on the south end of the building to the underground parking garage. Catch basins for storm water will be located throughout the parking area and will drain to a common retention pond. The site will be fully lighted with lighting types that meet the City Ordinance. t{i~!' Gateway Place Development Plans 3 Building Description Gateway Place will consist of forty-eight units within one building. The building will be three stories above grade and will incorporate wood frame construction.

Sand Companies, Inc., who currently manages over 1,100 rental units and six limited service hotels, will manage the day-to-day and ongoing operations of Gateway Place. Sand Companies, Inc. started in the business of rental property management in 1998 when it became challenged with the poor third party management and maintenance of its properties. Since Sand Companies, Inc. is a long-term owner of its properties, high quality management practices are the goal and the standard. With hands-on management, potential property and resident problems are headed off and the continual practice of preventive maintenance preserves the long-term quality of the developments. A visit to any of the sites managed by Sand Companies, Inc. will show how important attention to detail is to the company. Sand Companies, Inc. will be responsible for hiring and training the manager, marketing the property, setting up strict resident selection criteria, along with daily communications, regular site visits, accounting, human resources, renovations and purchasing on behalf of the property. t:i~l Gateway Place Development Plans 5 As a manager and owner, Sand Companies, Inc. has a very strict and stringent resident screening process and is an active member of the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program wherever available. All potential residents sign off on receiving the specific screening criteria before filling out an application. Sand Companies, Inc. not only does local checks on applicants, but also out of state checks, as applicable. The following is a brief summary of Sand Companies, Inc.'s minimum screening criteria. Sand Companies, Inc. reserves the right to be more stringent. 1. Age: All applicants must be at least 18 years of age. Any residents 18 years of age or older must be listed on the lease and also meet the screening criteria. 2. Income: For income restricted units, total gross household income must be at least two times the amount of rent, including utilities. 3. Credit: Applicants with consistent history of NSF checks will be denied. Applicants with outstanding collections or judgments will be denied. Any applicants with an unlawful detainer will be denied. Applicants that have filed for bankruptcy in the last three years may be denied. Extenuating circumstances may be considered in the event of medical or other catastrophe. Applicants with a consistent history of late payment of their financial obligations will be denied. Sand Companies, Inc. also establishes minimum credit "beacon" scores. 4. Unlawful/Criminal History: Applicants with a history of unlawful or criminal activity will be denied. Persons involved in drug related criminal activity will be denied. Sand Companies, Inc. also uses the Crime/Drug Free lease addendum, which is signed by all residents (18 years of age or older) of the household and is made part of the lease. Applicants with dependents in the household with criminal offenses will be denied. 5. Rental History: Applicants with a rental history must provide at least one verifiable rental landlord reference with a minimum of one-year rental history. Applicants with a history of late rental payments, verified housekeeping problems and/or a history of disturbing the peace will be denied. The Need for Life Cycle Housing According to the Family Housing Fund, a non-profit funder for affordable housing in the Twin Cities metro area, housing is "affordable" if a family pays no more than 30 percent of its income for housing costs. In the Twin Cities metro area, more than 185,000 lower income households pay more than this amount for housing. Almost half live in the suburbs. GV A Marquette Advisors reported that the average rent for a two bedroom and three bedroom apartment in Chanhassen was approximately $1,050 and $1,250 per month, respectively. Based on 30% of household income going for rent, a resident would have to earn an annual wage of $42,000 ($20.19/hr.) to afford a two bedroom and $50,000 ($24.04/hr) to afford a three bedroom apartment in Chanhassen. ~fi~l Gateway Place Development Pl<ms 6 With a significant number of employers in Chanhassen being retail, service and manufacturing related, most positions offer wages well below the housing affordability level currently available in Chanhassen. The projected contract rents for Gateway Place make housing affordable (30% of income for rent) to residents for a one bedroom unit that make an annual wage of $26,000 ($12.50/hr.), $33,000 ($15.87/hr.) for a two bedroom unit and $36,000 ($17.31/hr.) for a three bedroom unit. Professions that fit this wage include bank tellers, medical records technicians, school bus drivers, teacher's aide, home health aide, office/administrative support, retail sales and many others. The Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan states that"... One of the primary purposes of a community is to serve as a place of residence for its citizens. Assuming this charge, offering a mix of life cycle housing opportunities becomes a challenge for local governments...". "... While committed to providing life cycle housing, the city must overcome obstacles to their development. One of the most difficult impediments to providing one facet of life cycle housing and/or affordable housing, is land cost..." ".. . Developers must be brought in as partners in providing life cycle housing...". Sand Companies, Inc. is offering to help meet some of the life cycle housing needs in the City of Chanhassen at a location that is ideal for this type of housing. As the City Comprehensive plans states, the city can not do this alone and we as a developer can not do it alone either. We are proposing a partnership with resources from Sand Companies, Inc., the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHF A) and the City of Chanhassen to complete a life cycle housing development that offers an affordable housing option to working families of Chanhassen in a manner and design that is no different than a typical market rate multifamily development. Local Participation - A Key to Being Selected The main funding source for Gateway Place is proposed to be federal housing tax credits which are allocated annually by MHF A. The Section 42 tax credit program is a national program that started in 1987. It is one of the most successful housing programs ever in the United States as it promotes private development of affordable housing versus public ownership and management. The application for funding is due to MHF A on June 28, 2005 for an allocation of 2006 credits. Because of the program's success, getting awarded a tax credit project is extremely competitive with much of the State's allocation going to non-profits in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The MHF A application weighs heavily on local participation as this allows more State dollars to fund more projects. Without local participation, an application by a for-profit developer has little or no chance of being funded. (See Attachment IV) Since the inception of the tax credit program, the City of Chanhassen has only received two allocations for projects in the city. One allocation was back in 1990 and the most recent one was nearly five years ago in 2000. Considering the growth, size and location of Chanhassen, only two projects is highly unusual. As a comparison, the City of Chaska has at least seven projects and an additional application coming in this year in which the city is participating with tax increment financing. ttirl Gateway Place Devc10pment Plans 7 As an experienced owner and developer of tax credit projects, Sand Companies, Inc. has had very good success by being awarded ten housing tax credit developments in the cities of Lakeville ('95), Albany ('96), Hutchinson ('97), Mahtomedi ('98), Chaska ('99), Shakopee ('00), Blaine ('01), Bloomington ('01), Shakopee ('02) and St. Joseph ('04). We are confident that with local participation, the Gateway Place application will be very competitive. Local participation from the City can come in many forms from financial to flexibility in development standards along with letters of support. Of course, the more the City is willing to participate with, the higher the project will score on the tax credit application. (See Attachment III) Below are a list of participation methods and options we ask the City to consider for Gateway Place. Weare not asking for all of them, but rather just providing a list for the City to pick and chose from based on what it feels most comfortable with. Fee Wavier or a Portion Options to Consider Agree to establish a housing TIF district similar to other past projects in Chanhassen Agree to the waiver of the $22,500 in assessments relating to the site Allow higher density thus reducing per unit land costs Reduce setbacks Red.uce parking needs Allow a private drive into the site versus a public road Work with us on such things as flexibility in the building materials and fast track approvals City SAC/WAC Park Dedication Water Quality/Quantity Development Fees $ 145,440 $ 148,800 $ 17,950 $ ??? Participation Method Tax Increment Financing Waiver of Assessments Density Bonuses Reduce Setbacks Parking Requirements Decrease Road Widths Flexibility in Standards Because of the high land costs associated with this site along with the significant fees in Chanhassen for multifamily projects, flexibility in development standards will probably not be enough to help this project get selected by MHF A, especially with State cuts in MHFA's funding sources. We strongly encourage the City of Chanhassen to agree to set up a housing tax increment district for the project. The City does not need to establish a TIF district and have all the details worked out by the time of application, but just needs to commit to this if the project is selected. (See Attachment II) t~91 Gatcway Placc Dcvelopmcnt Plans 8 Development Timeline We have compiled and reviewed a substantial amount of information as it relates to Gateway Place in Chanhassen. Our research and knowledge of the industry indicates the development of this multifamily housing concept appears to be timely and feasible. We have targeted June 1, 2007 as the opening date. To meet these target dates, the following critical path of events is necessary: 1. Letter of Commitment from City of Chanhassen for local participation. 2. Make application for tax credits & financing to MHF A. 3. Gateway Place receives award from MHF A. 4. Complete City approval process. 5. Final plans & specifications. 6. Closing on financing. 7. Begin construction. 8. Initiate Marketing Plan. 9. Construction Complete. June 2005 June 28, 2005 October 2005 January 2006 April 2006 July 2006 July 2006 April 2007 June 2007 Conclusion The site for Gateway Place accommodates all the principals of Smart Growth including linkage, jobs, land use and transportation. The site is a new development area and neighborhood issues relating to affordable housing will be minimal. The proposed development plans mirror the goals outlined in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan. With local participation from the City of Chanhassen, local dollars can be leveraged against much greater State and Federal Funds. When complete, Gateway Place will offer life cycle housing options for the residents and employees of Chanhassen. Thank you for your consideration! tfi~l Gateway Place Dcvelopmcnt Plans 9 .

GA TEW A Y PLACE, CHANHASSEN. Dear Multifamily Development: The Chanhassen City Council, at its meeting held on June _' 2005, has reviewed and endorsed the housing development proposal called Gateway Place which proposes forty- eight units of apartment homes within the City of Chanhassen. This endorsement is based upon the findings that the project will meet locally identified housing needs and that the proposed housing is in short supply in the local housing market. This need is evidenced by the gap between the local supply and demand for the proposed type of housing. (If applicable) The City also proposes local financial assistance for this project as part of its endorsement through the use of tax increment finance (TIF). The Chanhassen City Council has approved TIF at _% for _ years. Based on preliminary tax figures, the approximate value of the assistance over the life of the TIF is $ The City Council and Planning Commission have also reviewed the development plans for Gateway Place and will offer flexibility in development standards such as reduced set-backs, density bonuses and fast track permitting and approvals.

If necessary, the city is willing to reduce needed setbacks for the Fairview Townhomes. Decreased Road Widths. The city will allow the utilization of private roads into the development property to access the townhome units.

By allowing the use of the private roads, the width is reduced to approximately 24' with no required right-of-way. Flexibility of Development Standards & Code Requirements. The city will be flexible in its development standards within the R-3 zoning along with flexibility within the code requirements for the Fairview Townhomes. Fast-track Permitting & Approval. Fairview Townhomes will be required to meet all building code requirements. Timing can be essential for the success. of a project and the city and its building official will, to the best of their abilities, work with owner to allow for fast-track permitting approvals. As has been previously stated, the City of Arlington is committed to the development and completion of work force housing within the city. As part of our cooperatively developed plan and agreement to complete this, we support the Fairview Townhome development. We ask that you participate with us to help meet our common goal of affordable housing in the City of Arlington by funding this development.

The proposed development includes thirty-two Townhomes within the City of St. Joseph. This endorsement is based upon the findings that the project will meet locally identified housing needs and the proposed housing is in short supply in the local housing market. This is evidenced by a housing study prepared in 2001 by Admark Resources. Evidence of the City endorsement is evident when reading the attached letter of support. The City would not have approved the financial relief in building permit fees or park dedication fee nor would they support variance from the design standards of the newly revised St. Joseph Code of Ordinances if the project were not needed.

Hosch RE: Morningside Townhomes St. Joseph, Minnesota Dear Multifamily Development: Councilors AI Rassier Ross Rieke Gary Utsch Dale Wick On behalf of the City of St. Joseph I would like to thank you in advance for consideration of the tax credit application of Sand Companies to develop a moderate income housing development. Like most communities, the City of St. Joseph is experiencing considerable growth. Part of managing growth is to assure that housing is available for all ages and incomes, commonly labeled Life Cycle Housing. The concern for Life Cycle Housing in the St. Cloud Area became a focal point in 2002. During that time five St. Cloud area cities (St. Cloud, Waite Park, Sartell, Sauk Rapids, St. Joseph) collectively met and executed a Joint Powers Agreement whereby each City agreed to require 15% of new housing stock to meet the definition of affordable housing. To assist the Cities with implementation, an outside agency has been hired. This agency coordinates quarterly meetings of the Cities, assists with marketing the affordable homes, provides gap financing to qualified buyers and prepares an annual report. St. Joseph is committed to the goals and objectives outlined in the Joint Powers Agreement. In April of2004 the City was presented with a concept plan prepared by Sand Companies for the development of an area known as Morningside Acres. The proposed development included single family homes and a portion labeled "Rental Life Cycle Housing". The Rental Life Cycle Housing is defined as housing where the rent is no greater than 30% of the monthly income of households earning 65% or less of the area median income, adjusted for the size of the unit, as specified and periodically updated by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Rental Life Cycle Housing Units (entitled Morningside Townhomes) will maintain the aforementioned income levels for a period of not less than 15 years. The Rental Life Cycle Housing project presented by Sand Companies meets the requirements as stated in the Joint Powers Agreement providing needed affordable housing for the area. The City of St. Joseph recognizes the increasing cost of new construction, and further recognizes that these costs limit the ability of developers to provide affordable housing. Just as developers are limited financially, so are cities. St. Joseph is committed to the provision of Affordable Housing, and offers the following in support of the Morningside Townhomes: 2.)"

July 19,2004 Minnesota Housing Finance Agency Page - 2 - Waiver of Plan Review Fee: Every building permit for the City of St. Joseph is charged a Plan Review Fee which is equal to 10% ofthe Building Permit Fee. This fee is assessed to ensure that each building meets the State Building Code and St. Joseph Code of Ordinances. The process will still be completed, but the fee for that service will be waived resulting is a City contribution of approximately $ 70.00 per unit or $ 2,240.00. Waiver of Park Dedication Fee: The City of St. Joseph requires all developments to connect to the St. Joseph Park and Trail System. This fee is part of the Park Dedication Fee but calculated separately. Based on an estimate, the Council waived $ 9,617 ofthe connection fee. Increased Density: The area known as Morningside Acres is located in Planning District 13 of the St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan. This area was identified for Single Family Development. The City Council and Planning Commission unanimously approved an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to allow for increased density and multiple family zoning. This amendment was significant, as the Comprehensive Plan has only been adopted for one year. Without seeing the plan, there was hesitancy to amend the Plan as it was just adopted. However, after reviewing the development plan of Sand Companies the hesitancy disappeared. Reduced Setbacks: The Planning Commission has reviewed the plat for Morningside Acres and acknowledged that certain setback requirements cannot be met. Therefore, the Planning Commission authorized the public hearing for variance of the rear-yard setback. Without the variance the density would be reduced. The Planning Commission encouraged the application for variance so the additional housing units will be available. Relief from Design Standards: St. Joseph spent considerable time and resource revising the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. In this review, the Subdivision Ordinance was amended prohibiting private streets, requiring all buildings to front a public street and imposed setback requirements from holding ponds and wetland areas. Based on the submitted plan, a variance will be needed from the same design standards amended. However, the ability to provide Life Cycle Housing is important enough to grant the needed variances. Private Streets: As stated above the proposed development includes use of private streets. In a typical subdivision streets are platted with a width 66', paving a width of 36'. In an effort to reduce the road costs, the City is allowing the use of private streets with a width of24' and no additional right-of-way. Expediency of Process: The City recognizes that timing of projects is essential. The normal platting process in the City typically extends over a three month period. Typically if a deadline is missed, the plat is held back until the next meeting date. However, with regard to Morningside Acres, the City allowed the plat to move forward prior to having all the final documents and considered the plat within a 30 day period. As stated throughout this letter, St. Joseph is committed to providing Life Cycle Housing and demonstrated this commitment by working with the developer to reduce construction costs through both July 19,2004 Minnesota Housing Finance Agency Page - 3 - financial concession and relief of design standards. On behalf of the City of St. Joseph, I would respectfully request that the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency consider this as a worthwhile project, as does St. Joseph, and fund the Morningside TownllOme Development.

To receive points under this category, an applicant is required to complete and submit with the application materials, the Narratives, Forms and Submissions outlined in Part F of the Supportive Housing Section of the Housing Resource Application Guide and Checklist. Materials include, but not limited to, a plan outlining the services to be provided, a budget to support the plan, and such other items as are required by the MHF A for applications serving persons experiencing long-term homelessness.
