A
D22
meeting
of
the
housing,
Bloomington
housing
and
Bloomington
Housing
and
Redevelopment
Authority,
let
the
record
show
a
quorum
is
present.
Our
first
item
of
business
is
approval
of
the
agenda.
Are
there
any
additions
or
corrections
to
the
agenda
hearing?
None
do
I,
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda.
C
A
A
A
D
Thank
you
chair.
One
I
just
want
to
note
for
our
secretary
that
Commissioners,
Coulter
and
Martin
are
absent
this
evening
and
commissioner
chair
who
he
excuse
me
chair
Lewis,
commissioner
huhim
and
commissioner
Thorson
are
present
just
because
we
have
a
secretary
that
does
keep
the
minutes
for
us
so
to
the
staff
report
for
excuse
me
for
oxboro,
Heights,
tax-based,
revitalization
account
environmental
response
fund
Grant
application.
D
As
stated
in
all
contract
agreements,
what
I
do
want
to
bring
up
is
MWF
properties
is
the
a
developer
that
did
do
Lyndale
Flats,
which
is
the
81
unit,
complex
off
of
9820
Lindale,
and
they
did
receive
or
apply
for
and
receive
these
same
funds
for
that
property
for
that
Redevelopment
and
this
property
at
600.
West
93rd
is
just
kitty
corner
to
that
site,
and
so
they
are
applying
looking
to
apply
for
the
same
cleanup
funds
with
the
approval
of
this
body.
Any
questions.
C
Who
came
thank
you
chair,
since
you
brought
up
the
fact
that
they
have
applied
previously
is:
does
that
hurt
them
or
give
them
a
better
opportunity
by
chance
for
reapplying
like
I
just
didn't
know
if
they,
if
the
county
or
or
whatever
tries
to
maybe
give
it
or
the
Metropolitan
Council
tries
to
you
know,
give
it
to
New
grantees
or
if
it's
something
that
they
would
so.
D
To
answer
your
question,
thank
you
for
the
question
commissioner
huhim
one
there.
They
release
them
in
rounds,
so
when
they
applied
was
maybe
in
2018-2019.
D
Second
of
all,
Hennepin
County
and
Metropolitan
council
do
prioritize.
Suburban
can
a
pen
or
the
suburbs
in
particular
and
so
Bloomington
would
be
applying,
and
then
we
would
be
able
to
show
that
this
is
for
an
affordable
senior
project
actually,
and
so.
I
think
that
we
we
as
Bloomington,
have
a
stronger
standing
as
the
Bloomington
HRA
have
a
stronger
standing
in
the
application
with
the
developer.
B
D
You
for
the
question,
commissioner:
Thorson
I
would
say
that
it's
not
highly
competitive,
because
you
do
have
to
have
that
contamination
and
do
have
to
have
the
experience
and
be
able
to
mitigate
it
appropriately
and
document.
D
B
Property
will
require
soil,
Vapor
mitigation.
Is
that
for
sure,
is
that,
based
upon
whatever
testing
is
done.
D
That
is
for
sure
the
Lindell
Flats
property
has
required
soil
Vapor
mitigation.
Okay,
thank
you.
C
Commissioner,
who
came
thank
you
chair,
I,
know,
I,
believe
it's
a
little
later
in
the
agenda
that
we'll
be
talking
about
this
property,
a.
C
D
If
it
does
not
go
through,
the
developer
would
be
able
to
have
other
plans
as
the
developers
looking
to
do
an
affordable
project,
and
so
they
would
like
to
apply
for
the
funding,
but
they
do
need
to.
They
would
have
to
Pivot
and
show
that
they
can
do
do
it.
Otherwise,
but
it's
chicken
or
the
egg
for
lack
of
a
better
analogy,
because
in
order
to
get
the
funds,
you
need
to
show
that
you
need
them.
C
No
with
that
I
would
I
would
make
a
promotion.
All
right.
I
can
read
that
I
would
make
the
motion
to
approve
the
resolution.
Approving
application
for
tax-based
revitalization
account
and
environmental
response
fund
Grant
committing
a
local
match
and
authorizing
contract
signature.
The
contract
signature,
the
oxboro
heights
Housing
Development,
located
at
600
West
93rd
Street,
is.
A
Second
by
commissioner
Thorson
to
approve
the
resolution
approving
application
for
task
tax-based,
revitalization
account
and
environmental

fund
Grant

and
authorizing

The
oxboro

Housing

located

West

Is
there
any
discussion
hearing
none
I
will
call
for
a
vote
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I
I
opposed
the
motion
passes
three
to
zero.
A
Thank
you.
Moving
on
to
item
number
5.1,
the
HRA
board
meeting
calendar
Amendment.
May
we
have
the
staff
report
please.
Yes,.
D
Thank
you,
chair
Lewis,
so
I
am
proposing
that
we
reschedule
our
November
22nd
2022
HRA
board
meeting
our
regular
meeting
to
Tuesday
November
15
2022
at
5
PM
in
council
chambers.
The
reason
for
this
amendment
is
there
is
an
upcoming
holiday
that
week,
November
22nd,
there's
a
holiday
on
Thursday
and
we
do
not
have
a
meeting
on
November
8th
because
it
is
elections
and
we
are
not
allowed
to
hold
a
meeting.
D
A
B
A
D
Thank
you,
chair,
Lewis
I
do
have
a
PowerPoint
for
you
this
evening,
so
on
September
14th,
the
community
development
director
did
provide
an
update
on
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance
to
the
city
council.
That
is
a
requirement
that
is
set
forth
in
the
ordinance
specifically
that
the
community
development
director
provide
an
update
to
city
council
prior
to
October
1st
every
year.
So
attached
is
an
update
about
the
usage
of
the
oh
and
developments
underway
that
I
wanted
to
bring
forward
to
you
all.
D
First
I
wanted
to
ground
Us
in
where
we
are
in
terms
of
rent
and
income
limits
for
2022.
the
area.
Median
income
for
2022
for
the
Minneapolis-St
Paul
or
for
Minnesota
in
particular,
has
gone
up
to
118
200.
Therefore,
that
means
that
the
income
bans
thirty
percent
fifty
percent
sixty
percent.
D
Eighty
percent
are
all
based
on
that
118
200,
which
also
means
that
the
affordability
level
at
those
income
bans
for
rents
has
increased,
and
so
I
want
to
highlight
just
the
60
Ami
that
inefficiency
at
1232
is
considered
affordable
at
sixty
percent
Ami,
and
so
this
is
what
we
are
working
towards
and
working
with,
as
we
do.
Our
work
here
so,
as
you
know,
the
oh
does
provide
incentives,
whether
they
are
development,
standard
flexibility
or
financial
base
to
incentivize.
D
The
creation
of
affordable
units
that
are
affordable
at
sixty
percent
Ami
or
below
here
is
a
list
of
those
incentives.
I
will
not
walk
through
them,
but
I'm
sure
you
all
are
familiar,
especially
with
the
financial
ones
that
you
get
to
hear
about
here
and
make
decisions
on
incentives
utilized
by
project.
It's
really
important
to
show
how
they've
been
used
and
over
the
last
year,
and
so
Lindell
Flats,
which
we
mentioned
this
evening,
which
was
put
into
place.
Excuse
me,
was
applied
for
and
approved
on.
D
The
7th
of
October
in
2019,
so
almost
exactly
three
years
ago,
did
use
quite
a
bit
of
the
incentives
in
terms
of
parking
stall
reduction.
The
reason
there's
a
plus
sign
there
is
because
they
went
above
and
beyond
the
flexibility
that
was
allowed
to
them,
and
so
they
had
additional
flexibility
above
the
opportunity.
Housing
ordinance.
D
This
is
a
better
bar
graph
to
show
how
the
the
percentage
of
projects
that
utilize
the
incentives,
as
you
can
see,
parking
style,
reduction.
Every
last
project,
I
use
parking
stall
reduction
and
then
tax
increment
financing
is
an
incentive,
and
it
was
used
quite
quite
a
bit
for
us
to
get
some
of
those
affordable
units.
D
D
So
I
like
to
always
bring
forward
our
our
goals
for
the
Metropolitan
Council
to
show
us
where
we
are
and
to
also
show
us
what
we're
working
towards.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
exceeded
our
goals
for
60
area
median
income,
and
we
are
a
little
bit
halfway
with
50,
but
we
are
really
focused
on
the
30,
as
approved
by
this
body,
from
the
recommendations
from
the
HRA
assessment,
that
that
is
where
our
focus
goes
on
rental,
as
well
as
home
ownership.
D
On
the
other
end
sole
developments,
there
is
a
development
map
that
is
on
our
webpage,
but
I
can
walk
through
it
so
Riser.
This
is
the
senior
building
that
is
in
the
South
Loop
and
it's
146
units
where
14
units
will
be
affordable
at
60
Ami.
It
is
under
construction,
Cadence,
formerly
known
as
8012
old
Cedar.
D
The
new
address
is
7990
old
Cedar,
but
this
is
68
units
where
54
are
affordable
at
60
percent,
eight
at
fifty
percent,
and
then
we
had
those
six
units
at
30,
which
did
include
one
three
bedroom
30
units
Air
apartments.
This
is
the
partial
conversion
at
the
Crowne
Plaza
Hotel,
where
there
are
some
floors
that
are
still
used
as
a
hotel
and
some
floors
that
are
Apartments,
which
is
really
nice,
because
the
apartments
do
have
access
to
some
of
the
amenities
that
are
offered
to
Hotel
guests.
D
So
this
is
for
apple
tree
Square.
It's
185
units
where
33
units
are
affordable
at
50
and
11
units
are
affordable
at
60
percent,
so
still
reaching
some
of
that
deeper
affordability
that
we're
looking
for
carbon
31.
This
is
also
in
the
South
Loop.
This
is
the
fourth
phase
of
Bloomington
Central
Station.
It
will
be
400
units
with
36
units
affordable
at
60
Ami,
and
it
will
also
include
a
grocery
store
and
then
Noble
Apartments,
8200
Humboldt,
where
this
building
has
been
the
old
office
building
has
been
demolished.
D
So
what's
next,
when
it
comes
to
the
opportunity,
housing
ordinance
right
now,
there's
no
changes
proposed
in
the
near
future.
There
is
a
need
to
update
the
Nexus
study.
This
was
a
study
that
got
us
to
the
point
of
saying
nine
percent
affordable
at
60
Ami,
based
on
what
the
market
is,
and
so
the
update
that
we
are
proposing
would
not
happen
until
2024
2025..
The
reasons
for
that
is
to
let
the
market
settle
for
us
to
have
more
of
a
stable
analysis.
D
We
do
need
to
budget
around
100
to
150
000
for
consultant
Services.
When
I
say
we
that's
all
encompassing
that's,
not
just
the
HRA,
that's
just
the
city,
we,
that
was
the
cost
that
it
was
previously
and
then
it
will
be
used
as
a
basis
for
future
updates
to
the
opportunity.
Housing,
ordinance,
incentives
and
provide
testing
of
the
incentives
is
what
we
will
be
looking
at
for
the
opportunity.
Housing,
ordinance
and
I
can
stand
for
any
questions
that
you
have
about
that
update.
A
Are
there
any
questions
for
commissioner
Coleman,
our
administrator
Coleman?
Sorry
all
right!
Well,
thank
you.
There
are
no
questions,
but
thank
you
for
that
update.
We
appreciate
that
all
right.
Moving
on
to
our
next
discussion
item
item
6.2
proposed
Redevelopment
update
on
oxboro
Heights.
May
we
have
the
staff
report.
Please
absolutely.
D
Thank
you,
commission,
chair,
Lewis,
so
oxboro
Heights
on
May
24th.
The
HRA
board
did
recommend
support
of
the
state
Bond
application
for
low-income
housing,
tax
credits
for
this
developer,
MWF
properties.
It
is
a
proposed
senior,
affordable,
multi-family,
Redevelopment,
on
a
privately
owned
parcel
and
on
June
13th.
The
city
council
did
approve
resolution
providing
preliminary
approval
to
the
issuance
of
bonds
for
the
proposed
multi-family
development.
That
resolution
did
go
back
to
city
council
as
it
needed
to
be
amended
on
July
18th,
and
that
was
approved.
D
D
The
developers
moved
forward
the
next
steps
for
this
proposed
development
and
they
have
submitted
an
application
to
this
city
for
financial
assistance,
which
is
a
part
of
the
incentives
for
the
opportunity,
housing
ordinance
as
well
as
required
amendments
for
regarding
rezoning
and
approval
of
preliminary
and
final
development
plans
in
Platt.
So
the
Planning
Commission
did
unanimously
approve
their
motion
for
the
regarding
rezoning
approval,
preliminary
and
final
development
plans
and
plat
on
September,
8th,
and
then
the
city
council
held
a
public
hearing
and
approved
the
aforementioned
recommendation
at
its
October
3rd
2022
meeting.
D
So
what
I
wanted
to
do
here
is
I
wanted
to
bring
this
back
before
you
just
so.
You
know
what
the
timeline
has
been
and
where
we
are
headed
next,
so
MWF
properties
is
proposing
redeveloping
three
Parcels
into
a
five-story
125
5
unit
senior,
affordable
building,
that's
a
little
bit
more
units
than
what
was
previously
presented
to
you,
and
so
the
proposed
building
would
be
located
at
a
20-foot
setback
with
from
West
93rd
Street
with
surface
parking
along
the
perimeter
and
one
level
of
structured
parking.
D
So
staff
is
reviewing
the
financial
assistance
request
available,
as
the
incentives
are
the
tax,
increment
financing
and
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
and
as
they
align
with
our
overall,
affordable
housing
goals,
City
and
HRA
priorities,
and
specifically
the
need
for
and
priority
of
deeper
affordable
units.
So
there
is
no
board
action
requested
at
this
time,
but
I
do
expect
this
item
to
come
back
before
you
in
November
for
a
request
or
approval
recommendation
of
approval
with
the
financial
request.
Potentially,
this
may
go
to
the
city
council.
D
First
and
what
I
want
to
stress
about
that
is
that
the
city
council
or
the
city,
it
is
their
Tiff,
they
do
allocate
it
and
that
it
is
their
affordable,
housing
trust
fund.
But
the
city
council
is
saying
HRA
you
can
use
this
Tiff
and
enter
into
an
agreement
with
the
developer
and
HRA.
You
can
enter
into
agreement
with
the
developer
around
the
revolving
loan
from
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
If
you
sold
choose
so
this
going
to
the
city,
council
first
is
not
actually
approving
the
developer
entering
into
agreements
with
the
HRA.
D
C
Thank
you
chair.
Just
one
like
question.
I
guess
is
with
the
changes
that
are
happening.
Is
this
still
something
that
we're
going
to
be
foreseeing
or
like
overseeing
kind
of
going
forward
when
it
comes
to
the
developmental
like
development
design,
like
you
know,
Green
spaces
things
like
that?
Are
we
still
going
to
have
communications
regarding
that
I?
C
Just
am
wondering
how
like
this
is
kind
of
probably
the
first
project,
possibly
that's
going
to
be
kind
of
a
joint
Venture
with
the
port
authority,
and
things
like
that,
so
I'm,
just
kind
of
wondering
and
maybe
I'm
wrong,
but
I
just
kind
of
want
to
see.
How
is
this
looking.
D
Great
question
great
question,
so
I
will
say
historically
what
the
HRA
has
done
is
we
have
used
Consultants
to
do
this
financial
analysis,
review
and
what's
happening
now
is:
is
the
HRA
and
the
port
are
working
together
and
when
I
say
that
I
mean
not
the
the
staff
So
within
Community
Development,
so
it
has
been
the
Port
Authority
staff
that
have
been
working
on
the
financial
analysis
with
myself
as
well
as
the
CFO,
and
so
we
are
following
that
process
and
then,
in
terms
of
this
development,
or
this
project
in
particular,
I,
don't
know
that
this
project
would
come
before
the
Port
Authority,
because,
like
I
said
that
the
city
council
has
a
tax
increase
or
the
city
has
tax
tax,
increment
financing.
D
The
city
has
said
that
the
HOA
can
use
five
percent.
The
port
can
use
five
percent
and
then
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
You,
as
you
know,
that
is
between
the
HRA
and
the
city
in
particular,
for
the
revolving
Loan
Fund.
So
those
items
are
still
coming
back
before
us.
So
in
bringing
those
requests
before
you,
we
would
also
bring
what
that
project
would
be.
So
what
does?
What
are
the
specs?
What
are
the
design
on
the
project
and
what
does
that
look
like.
C
A
A
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
That
was
like
you
said
kind
of
the
first
project.
It
was
a
really
good
one
to
talk
about.
Thank
you.
Moving
on
to
our
last
item
on
our
discussion
item
6.3,
commissioner
questions
and
comments:
do
the
Commissioners
have
anything
that
they
would
like
to
bring
up.
C
Where
are
we
sitting
with
applications
for
members
board
members
and
kind
of
where?
Where
is
that?
What
is
that
timeline?
Looking
like
a
good
question.
D
That
is
a
great
question.
I
will
have
to
follow
up
to
to
find
out
where
we
are
with
applications,
but
what
I
will
say
is
that
the
application
period
the
window
does
close
October
31st
and
then
we
expect
to
start
interviews.
Sorry
I
was
looking
for.
The
word
expect
to
start
interviews
within
the
two
weeks
after
that,
and
so
I'm
kind
of
excited
about
that.
But
I
will
follow
back
up
to
find
out
if
we
have
any
applications
and
if
so,
how
many.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
the
commissioners
hearing?
None
do
I,
hear
a
motion
for
adjournment
so
moved.
Second,
second,.
