6. EDC BUSINESS
Review Single & Multifamily Residential Housing Issues
Business Development Coordinator Beeman informed the Commissioners that as part of
the 2018 EDC Priorities, the EDC identified the following as a goal: “Monitor and assist
with citywide housing issues & priorities and projects and older properties as well as
cooperating with multifamily property owners to assist with upgrading facilities”. The first
step in this process is to identify the properties and issues that are causing a concern.
The second step is to identify any existing financing programs available to address those
issues. The last step is for the EDC to determine which of the financing programs the
City should be using to address the housing issues and if a new financing program
should be created. Jacob Martin, the City’s Code Enforcement Officer, was present to
provide comments, feedback, and answer any questions as it related to code violation
trends. The EDC reviewed the chart of properties and violations and common trends for
EDC Minutes
March 16, 2018
Page 2 of 5
all of the properties and determined that Multi-Family properties had wall coverings,
paint, parking lots, carpet, appliances, and plumbing as common violations while the
single-family homes had windows, aesthetics, and landscaping, as the commons themes
for violations.
Officer Martin informed the Commission that his focus is safety and code violations.
Commissioner Dennis Farmer mentioned that the City should perhaps look into helping
single-family home owners who have naturally occurring affordable housing with
assistance programs to help them upgrade their buildings and property. Officer Martin
said the older properties may simply need a face-lift. Commissioner Ken Breske had met
with his tax advisor and provided the EDC with an update on the new tax laws as it
relates to landlords and property owners. Breske suggested that Officer Martin could
inform landlords of the new tax laws in an attempt to motivate them to make
improvements. Commissioner Gary Stevenson suggested that the City change its focus
or include a new component to the Code Enforcement’s role to address the outside
aesthetic issues in addition to the current safety and code enforcement role. Stevenson
brought attention to the age of the current apartment and housing stock. Some
apartment buildings may have looked great 30 years ago, but they are in dire need of
upgrades and outside appearances. The look of these buidings contributes to the tired
and run down look of the hosing stock in the city. Officer Martin informed the
Commission that if land lords improve their properties then likely the County Assessors
will increase the taxable value of those structures and therefore force the landlords to
increase rents to cover the additional property tax. Commissioner Jason Helgemoe
stated that with the new apartment buildings being built this could potentially cause
existing tenants to leave the old apartment buildings and occupy the new apartment
buildings. This may motivate the landlords who own older building to want to improve
their building in order to keep their tenants. Officer Martin informed the EDC that the
current apartments are 90-95% filled.
Commissioner Jim Freichels suggested that Coordinator Beeman send the EDC the
spreadsheet listing the current violations and between now and the next EDC meeting,
Commissioners can note their observations of apartment buildings and the housing
stock on the spreadsheet while they drive around the city and identify problem areas.
Beeman informed the Commission that when Commissioners bring back their comments
he will compile the comments into one master list and try to identify trends. Beeman
informed the Commission that he is trying to coordinate schedules to get a
representative from the Ramsey County Economic Development Department to attend
then April ECD meeting to inform the Commission of any existing financial programs that
might be able to address some of the identified issues. Chair Freichels thanked Code
Enforcement Officer Jacob Martin for this comments and observations and moved to the
next agenda item.
Update from Comprehensive Task Force Members
Commissioner Dennis Farmer provided the EDC with an update on the most recent
Comprehensive Task Force meeting. The main takeaways from the last meeting is that
the City needs to simplify its land use codes, the Task Force also talked about the
differences in neighborhood versus regional commercial area. Regional Commercial are
areas that outside residents drive to like the Mounds View Boulevard businesses. While
neighborhood commercial area are places like the old Snap Market business or smaller
EDC Minutes
March 16, 2018

convenience stores where only the local residents are likely to go to. County Road I
would be an example of neighborhood commercial buildings. They also reviewed
economic development goals such as sustainability, transportation. Much of the focus
has been along Mounds View Boulevard. There are areas that could be identified as
nodes that could serve as a cluster of similar businesses or uses. Each of the Task
Force Members participated in a Dotmocracy exercise where each members placed
different colored dots on a list of goals and priorities and the group tabulated the results
based on the most popular to least popular in the category of importance. Farmer
volunteered to provide a presentation to the EDC at the April meeting.
Update from Commissioner Muckala on New Business Categories to fill Vacant Space in
Mounds View
Commissioner Teresa Muckala provided an update on her efforts in assisting with the
new 2018 EDC goal, “Monitor & Explore New Business Categories through Trade
Groups like Medical Alley and Identify Available Spaces in Mounds View with the Intent
to Fill Those Vacancies with New Companies”. The idea is to attract start-up companies
to fill the vacant space in some of our industrial buildings and growing them. The
Minnesota High-Tech organization may be another place to look to partner with.
Eventually, a policy decision will need to be made on what if any the property owners
versus the City should be doing to fill these spaces. Beeman said there are some
opportunities in the flex space with some of the existing buildings. One thing to think
about is are we growing businesses out of Mounds View or is it important to fill these
spaces and encourage jobs or focusing on specific trades? Breske asked about vacancy
rates. Beeman said there are some lease vacancies available but little to none of the
buildings are for sale. Beeman said this can create an issue with the lack of corporate
citizenship. While business owners who own their own buildings are likely to participate
in the Festival in the Park, make donations, and participate on local boards and
commissions, the business owners who lease are less likely to participate locally and
they are more likely to see Mounds View as the place where they commute to go to work
and not much more.
7. REPORTS OF STAFF
Crossroad Pointe Redevelopment Project
Coordinator, Beeman provided the Commission with an update on the Crossroad Pointe
redevelopment site stating that at a recent City Council meeting, the Council passes an
ordinance amendment that did not include language to allow the discharge of firearms in
an approved firing range. Therefore, the gun range portion of the project will not be
developed. Since then City staff met with INH Properties to better understand their
intention for the development. INH prefers to do all apartments and if a mixed-use
component is considered, INH prefers to sell that piece to the commercial owner or have
the City retain that portion and the City would recruit a commercial business to that site.
INH claims that if they construct all apartments on the site they could potentially be in the
ground this year but if it is a mixed-use concept and/or TIF is requested then it may be
delayed to 2019. INH is proposing to build approximately 140 units give or take
depending on the configuration and if retail is included or not. There would be

underground parking and they would work with the City to sign a development
agreement that likely will include higher end finishes, aesthetics, and landscaping etc.
Rice Creek Commons
Coordinator, Beeman provided the Commission with an update on the Crossroad Pointe
redevelopment site stating that the infrastructure is expected to occur in 2019 and new
housing & commercial starts are expected in 2020.
North Metro Business Council
The North Metro Business Council meeting was held at the Mermaid Event Center
March 14 where the group heard an update from Barclay Kruse from the National Sports
Center (NSC) in Blaine. Beeman said the main takeaways are the NSC provided $79
million in annual tourism impact, a pedestrian bridge is planned over 105th Street in
Blaine and an overpass at 109th Street. Freichels provided additional information, he
said they are looking at building a hotel and Dist. 16 is looking to construct a magnet
school. They are also the largest armature site in the country. They are also looking at
bringing in an actual clinic on-site. The State of MN actually owns the site. Helgemoe
said the expansion plans are exciting and it has the second largest draw behind the Mall
of America and an international draw. They about 50 soccer fields and all of this helps
local businesses.
MWF Developers
Beeman informed the Commission that MWF Properties has requested Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) for their project. The Council created the housing TIF district recently
and the City is cooperating with the developer to acquire the tax forfeiture properties. TIF
plan a late fall 2018 start is all goes well. They found some contamination at the old gas
station and will be working through that. Beeman said he is meeting with two more
developers who are also proposing multi-family housing.
Other Upcoming Events/Reports
Beeman informed the Commission that the Mermaid is looking to refurbish the Mermaid
statute and will relocate it somewhere on site. They are looking at the possibility of
rebranding and updating their facilities.

Item Title/Subject: Review Ramsey County Housing Financing Programs
Background
As part of the 2018 EDC Priorities the EDC has identified the following goal: “Monitor and assist with citywide
housing issues & priorities and projects and older properties as well as cooperating with multifamily property
owners to assist with upgrading facilities”. The second step in this process is to identify available financing
programs that could assist landlords and homeowners in updating their facilities. MaryLou Egan, who works in
Community & Economic Development at Ramsey County has agreed to inform the EDC of its available programs.
Discussion
Ramsey County has a variety of housing financing programs available. Understanding these programs may
provide some assistance to landlords and homeowners to address the local housing issues identified by the EDC.
Mary Lou Egan, from the Community and Economic Development of Ramsey County will be providing information
on each of the programs.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the EDC hear Ramsey County’s presentation and ask questions about each financing
program trying to correlate the existing programs to the identified housing issues locally in Mounds View.

Neighborhood Revitalization &
Infrastructure
Contact us
Municipalities, property owners, agencies and organizations seeking funds to reduce
the local costs of projects that principally benefit suburban Ramsey County’s low- and
moderate-income residents (LMI) are eligible to apply for funds available through the
competitive funding pool.
Eligible projects may include infrastructure construction, neighborhood revitalization,
rental rehabilitation and other capital improvements.
Ramsey County has two sources of funding available: Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) and HOME. Applicants must be able to demonstrate that funds benefit
LMI individuals and families either by locating the project in a low and moderate income
census tract or other defined geographic area or by compiling income data on activity
participants.
In the past, funds have been used to replace deteriorating water and sewer lines, build
sidewalks from affordable rental housing to a neighborhood commercial center, install
accessibility improvements in public buildings, rehabilitate affordable privately owned
rental housing, replace roofing and siding at a condominium complex, and acquire land
for construction of single family homes by Habitat for Humanity.
How to apply
Agencies and organizations interested in applying for funding will need to complete
the the 2016 CDBG and HOME Common Funding Application.
Property Assessed Clean Energy
Program (PACE)
Contact us
The Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program is a way to finance energy
efficiency and renewable energy retrofits to eligible non-residential properties. PACE
overcomes challenges that hinder energy efficiency projects by eliminating up-front
costs, providing low-cost, long-term financing, and making it more efficient for building
owners to transfer repayment obligations to a new owner upon sale. Interested property
owners and their contractors evaluate measures that achieve energy savings and
receive 100 percent financing, repaid as a property tax assessment for up to 20 years.
On November 10, 2015, the Ramsey County Board designated the Saint Paul Port
Authority as the County’s implementing entity for the PACE program.
Process, eligibility and requirements
Applicants must be:
• The legal owner of the property and all of the legal owners of the property must agree to
participate.
• The interested property owner must be current on any existing mortgage and the property
owner must not have defaulted on the deeds of trust.
• Property must not be subject to any involuntary liens or judgments, not be delinquent on
property taxes
• The property owner must not be in bankruptcy.
Saint Paul Port Authority (SPPA) will perform a thorough credit analysis and
applications are approved by the SPPA’s Credit Committee prior to the SPPA
submitting an assessment request to the county. Following review by SPPA, SPPA
requests the county apply a special assessment and collect repayment on property tax
bills on behalf of the SPPA. Loan payments for PACE OF MN projects cannot exceed
20 percent of the property’s assessed value.
The Ramsey County Board is required to adopt by resolution each assessment. The
assessment stays with the property in the event of a sale. The special assessment
becomes a lien against the property at the point that it is extended to the tax rolls. If not
timely paid, the special assessment would accrue penalties and interest as with other
delinquent taxes and is subject to tax forfeiture. Unpaid assessments become a lien on
the property like any other special assessment or unpaid property taxes.
Getting started
Community and Economic Development office helps interested applicants for the PACE
program to be connected with the Saint Paul Port Authority. For more information, call
651-266-8000.
Multi-Family Development
Program
Contact us
Ramsey County Community and Economic Development (CED) and Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) partners with multi-family residential rental properties
to create affordable housing units.
Ramsey County has several tools that may be used to assist in the development and
preservation of affordable housing in suburban Ramsey County. However, because
Ramsey County is fully-developed, some resources, such as Tax Increment Financing
and Revenue Bond Financing, fall first under the local jurisdiction where the project will
be located. The Ramsey County HRA may issue rental housing revenue bonds or
501(c)(3) bonds under some circumstances.
Ramsey County provides Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds in the
form of flexible, below-market loans for affordable rental projects located in suburban
Ramsey County. Funds in amounts ranging from $150,000 to $350,000 are typically
provided as gap financing.
Funding is usually provided on a competitive basis annually. However, developers are
urged to contact CED/HRA staff throughout the year to discuss funding availability and
program requirements.
During the past decade, Ramsey County has provided financing for 1,500 new
suburban units, 175 of which will be affordable for 20 years or longer. New development
projects may include family town homes, senior cottages, apartments, transitional and
supportive housing.
To search for available commercial or industrial properties in Ramsey County, visit
MetroMSP.org and select "Search Properties." You can then use a GIS-based site
selection tool that enables you to locate buildings or land, pull up site-specific
demographic data and generate valuable reports.
Developers are encouraged to contact Community and Economic
Development/Housing and Redevelopment Authority staff to discuss project financing
needs and the potential impact of federal compliance requirements.
Rental Rehabilitation
Contact us
Ramsey County Community Economic Development (CED) and Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) works with developers and owners of rental properties
in suburban Ramsey County communities.
Direct services for renters are provided through a network of other area
organizations. For existing properties, Ramsey County can provide below-market,
flexible loan financing for weatherization and energy conservation, health and safety,
and other basic rehabilitation activities. More than half the units must be occupied by
tenants with low to moderate incomes at affordable rents.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership
Program (HOME) funds are generally available on a competitive basis annually.
However, property owners and landlords are encouraged to contact CED/HRA staff to
discuss fund availability and program requirements any time through the year.
Ramsey County has invested in improvements to the Marion Brittany Apartments in
Roseville, Golden Star in Maplewood and a number of smaller properties throughout
suburban Ramsey County. The county has also invested in the conversion of
recreational space to community service at Polynesian Village Apartments in New
Brighton.
