The property may be considered if a variance can be obtained (see Section I.2.). 7. The property must be owner-occupied or vacant before the owner makes • application to the Program. Non-homesteaded vacant property will be considered for acquisition. Tenant-occupied properties will ftet be considered for purchasc or by the EDA on a case-by-case basis. 8. Prior to approval by the EDA for participation in the Program, properties over 50 years old must be evaluated for historical significance. This will be accomplished by forwarding general property information and a property photo to the Minnesota Historical Society for review. The EDA will not enter into a purchase agreement or award funding for demolition on a property which qualifies for the National Registry of Historical Structures. H. Program Priorities If more than one application for acquisition or demolition funding has been received during a given month, the Program Staff shall rank the applications to determine the best candidates for Program participation based on the information and criteria noted below: 1. Properties that can meet EDA established guidelines and time frame will be considered first. i 3 City of Mounds View Housing Replacement Program • Page 4 2. Properties with the lowest values and poorest visible conditions will be considered first. 3. Properties should be equally distributed by location and value throughout the City when possible, and provide a viable financial mix of properties to support Program financial requirements. I. Option 1: Acquisition of Property by EDA 1. Blight Qualification: Once an offering letter is received from the interested participant, Program Staff shall arrange, by appointment, an inspection of the interior of the home to establish blight qualification as outlined in Section G. The following information will also be obtained during the inspection: a. Demolition information for estimating demolition credit to builder. b. A determination as to the existence of any hazardous materials on the property. This includes: • (1) a visual inspection (2) a statement from the interested participant regarding any knowledge of the property's use for production, storage, deposit, or disposal of any toxic or hazardous wastes or substances or asbestos products whatsoever, during the time the interested participant owned the property and prior to the date of interested participant purchased property. Properties with environmental problems or hazards may be considered if the purchase price is reduced sufficiently to cover increased site clearance and preparation costs. If a property meets the blight test, acquisition procedures can continue. If the blight test cannot be met, the interested participant will be notified in writing indicating the reasons why the property cannot be considered for acquisition. 2. Need for Variances: If a variance is required to redevelop the property, the EDA may, at its sole discretion, choose not to acquire the property. This determination will be made based on the project time lines, available resources, and availability of other properties which do not require a variance. If the EDA chooses to pursue a variance to enable the acquisition of the property, an application shall be filed following the usual procedures. If a variance is not approved, the property cannot be considered for acquisition. • 4 City of Mounds View Housing Replacement Program Page 5 • 3. Appraisal; Determining Purchase Price: If the EDA chooses to continue with the acquisition, a fee appraisal shall be ordered at the EDA's expense and the result shall be used in determining the amount of the purchase price to offer to the interested participant. The independent fee appraiser shall be carefully instructed to document in specific terms the conditions of the property including details regarding structural condition and floor plan. The acceptance of these conditions in the market place should be discussed in the report. The appraiser's value judgement should reflect these conditions. A negotiated price considerably below the assessor's market value, may be accepted without an appraisal on a case by case basis if the interested participant concurs. 4. Purchase Agreement; Closing Procedures a. When a purchase price has been verbally agreed upon by both parties, Program Staff and Legal Counsel shall prepare a Purchase Agreement to be presented to the interested participant. The purchase price contained in the Purchase Agreement shall be within the range authorized by the EDA. The purchase • agreement shall be contingent on the completion of an environmental evaluation suggesting no evidence of hazardous waste on the property. The interested participant shall receive a copy of the purchase agreement including the following information: (1) The purchase price (2) How the purchase price was determined. (3) The amount of earnest money (4) A date to sign the Purchase Agreement (5) A closing date b. To enable the acquisition process to continue, the interested participant must execute the purchase agreement and "waiver of relocation benefits" form. The waiver of relocation must be clearly explained to the interested participant at this time, if not explained previously. c. The EDA Executive Director and President shall be signatories on the purchase agreement. d. The acquisition and disposition of the property must be in conformance with the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan. . 5 City of Mounds View Housing Replacement Program Page 6 e. Following EDA authorization of these agreements, interested participants and/or Program Staff will be requested to assemble and supply all required documentation prior to closing as outlined below. (1) An Abstract or RPA (as applicable)must be furnished to the Program Staff to facilitate the rendering of a title opinion. The interested participant will bear the cost of updating the Abstract or RPA as part of the closing procedures. (2) EDA Legal Counsel will be responsible for having the Abstract or RPA updated and will provide Program Staff and interested participant with a written opinion of title. EDA Legal Counsel will also secure title insurance. (3) If the title opinion indicates the property has a marketable title, purchase procedures will continue. If the title opinion does not indicate a marketable title, the EDA, at its sole discretion, may choose not to acquire the property. The EDA may determine remedies and evaluate their resolution, including the additional time and expense to • provide a marketable title. The EDA may proceed to correct title deficiencies to continue the purchase of the property dependant upon the additional time and expense incurred. (4) Simultaneously with the title opinion, an environmental evaluation may be obtained from an independent environmental engineering firm or other firm performing such service. If environmental hazards are found on the site, the EDA may choose not to acquire the property. f. The seller must be prepared to vacate the property on the day of closing unless other arrangements have been made with Program Staff. g. If the interested participant decides not to sell the property after execution of the purchase agreement then the interested participant must provide the EDA with the following: (1) A letter expressing their desire not to proceed with selling the property. (2) The full amount of earnest money received upon execution of the purchase agreement. 6 City of Mounds View • Housing Replacement Program Page 7 (3) Full payment of legal and consulting fees incurred by the EDA after the execution of the purchase agreement in preparation for the closing of the property. 5. Selection of Demolition Contractor and Procedures. After the property closing, Program Staff will select a demolition contractor by sending out Requests for Proposals (RFP)to at least three demolition contractors. The bid received with the lowest price will have priority. The demolition contractor must be able to meet project deadline as outlined in the RFP prior to awarding a contract. The demolition contractor will be required to obtain all necessary City permits and pay applicable fees. Overall demolition supervision will be provided by a designated Program Staff. 6. Marketing. Program Staff will advertise sale of the property by contacting the St. Paul Realtors Association, Residential Developers, interested buyers and posting signs on the property. 7. Selection of Developer. Program Staff will negotiate the purchase of the property by an acceptable buyer/developer or buyer/builder team. If a buyer/developer or buyer/builder • team can not be obtained, the EDA may consider selling property to a developer or builder for sale to the open market after completion. As part of the sale of the property, the buyer/developer team purchasing party must sign a development agreement with the EDA which will stipulate housing design and time frame for completion. J. Option 2: Funding of Demolition 1. Blight Qualification: Properties being considered for demolition funding must meet blight qualifications as outlined in Section G. and Section I.1. 2. Need for Variances: If a variance is required to redevelop the property,the homeowner must obtain the variance prior to the award of demolition funds. If a variance is not granted, demolition funds shall not be awarded. 3. Comprehensive Plan/Zoning: The Comprehensive Plan designation and the zoning on the property must allow for its redevelopment by construction of a replacement single family residence. 4. Development Agreement: The interested participant must enter into a Development Agreement with the EDA which will stipulate housing design and site development criteria and time frame for completion. The development agreement will include estimate 7 City of Mounds View • Housing Replacement Program Page 8 of new taxes generated based on the construction of replacement cost. 5. Demolition Contract: The interested participant must obtain three estimates for demolition which will assist in determining the amount of demolition funds to award for the project. The chosen demolition contractor must be able to meet project deadlines as outline by Program Staff. The demolition contractor will be required to obtain all necessary City permits and pay applicable fees. Overall demolition supervision will be provided by a designated Program Staff in conjunction with the interested participant.

The property is located just north of Hillview Road on the west side of Woodlawn Drive (see location map Exhibit B). The proposed property is currently vacant and is listed on the market by a real estate company. Staff has completed an inspection of the proposed property to verify the eligibility as outlined in the Housing Replacement Program (HRP)policy. Item G of the HRP policy states: • G. Property Eligibility Criteria Program Staff shall evaluate each property for which an application is received to determine its eligibility for the Program based on the criteria in this section. Program Staff shall prepare property fact sheets for each property for which owners have expressed an interest in participating in the Program, and shall make a drive by inspection. Properties will be evaluated based on the following criteria outlined below. To be eligible for participation, the house on the property must have at least one of the characteristics noted in 1, 2, 3 or 4 below. *1. Substandard as to condition, size or usage. *2. Obsolete and having a faulty design for block and area in which it is located. *3. Deterioration which has caused blight to other adjoining properties. 4. Detrimental to the safety or health of abutting properties in the block. Staff has determined that the subject property meets the characteristics as noted in item 1,2, and 3. Because the property meets at least 2 of the 4 outlined criteria, it must also meet item numbers 5-8 in Section G of the policy to be considered for purchase by the EDA. These items are as follows: *5. A geographic mix of properties is achieved. *6. The site can be developed with a single family home within city code requirements, including zoning and conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The property may be considered if a variance can be obtained(see Section I, Item 2.). 411 *7. The property must be owner-occupied or vacant before the owner makes application to the Program. Non-homesteaded vacant property will be considered for acquisition. Tenant-occupied properties will be considered by the EDA on a case-by-case basis. Staff Memo -Multi-Jurisdictional Remodeling Planbook February 5, 1998 Page 2 • 8. Prior to approval by the EDA for participation in the Program, properties over 50 years old must be evaluated for historical significance. This will be accomplished by forwarding general property information and a property photo to the Minnesota Historical Society for review. The EDA will not enter into a purchase agreement or award funding for demolition on a property which qualifies for the National Registry of Historical Structures. As noted, the proposed property meets the criteria in item numbers 5, 6 and 7. The city has not yet proceeded with the requirements of item number 8 which requires a historical significance evaluation. This will be completed if the EDA requests staff to proceed with acquiring the property.
