HRA AGENDA ITEM
Item No.: 1 Date: July 24 , 2017
Item Description: Consider Purchase Agreement of Orono Woods Land
Presenter: Doug Reeder Agenda Orono Housing and
Executive Director Section: Redevelopment
Authority
Purpose. To hold a public hearing on the sale of the land where Orono Woods is located and
approve a purchase agreement for the sale of the land
2. Background. When Orono Woods was built the Orono Housing and Redevelopment Authority
retained ownership of the land under the building as part of a developer's agreement and a ground lease.
At this time the Orono Woods Apartments are being sold and the new owners are requesting that the HRA
sell the property to the new owner for $1. At the same time the new owners will execute a Declaration of
Restrictive Covenants and an amendment to the Developers Agreement which will keep most of the
intended requirements of the ground lease. The City Council has already approved the Declaration of
Restrictive Covenants and the amendment to the Developers Agreement.
3. Staff Recommendation. I recommend that Orono Housing and Redevelopment Authority approve
the purchase agreement to sell the land under Orono Woods, The Declaration of Restrictive Covenants
and the Amendment to the Development Agreement
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
1. Hold the Public Hearing

Exhibit B
DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
This Declaration of Restrictive Covenants (the "Declaration") is made and executed as of
2017 (the "Effective Date"), by
LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company
("Declarant"), to and in favor of the Orono Housing and Redevelopment Authority, a politic
subdivision under the laws of the State of Minnesota (the "HRA").
BACKGROUND
The HRA was previously the owner of fee title to certain real property located in the City
of Orono, Hennepin County, Minnesota, as legally described on Exhibit A (the "Property").
The HRA, and the City of Orono, a Minnesota municipal corporation (the "City"),
entered into a Development Agreement dated November 30, 2001 (as amended to date, the
"Development Agreement"), with Orono Senior Housing, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability
company (the "Original Developer"). The HRA and the Original Developer also entered into a
99 -year Ground Lease of the Property dated November 30, 2001, filed December 4, 2001, as
Document No. 3466808, as amended by First Amendment to Ground Lease dated December 1,
2006, filed December 29, 2006, as Document No. 4342059, (collectively, the "Ground Lease").
The transactions contemplated under the Development Agreement and the Ground Lease
involve the construction by the Original Developer of a 62 -unit senior rental apartment
development, parking facilities and related improvements on the Property (collectively, the
"Project"). The Project was financed, in part, pursuant to the proceeds of the bonds issued by the
City as its Senior Housing Revenue Bonds (Orono Woods Apartment Project) Series 2001A, its
Senior Housing Revenue Bonds (Orono Woods Apartment Project) Taxable Series 2001B, and
its Senior Housing Revenue Note (Orono Woods Apartment Project) Subordinate Series 2001C
(together the "Housing Bonds").
The Project is subject to certain tax increment financing as more particularly set forth in
the Development Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Ground Lease, the Original Developer closed on the
mortgage financing made available through the proceeds of the Housing Bonds, constructed the
Project, leased the rental housing units to senior residents, and has managed and operated the
{00354123 }
Project up until the date hereof, all in compliance with the terms of the Development Agreement
and the Ground Lease.
With the approval of the City and the HRA, the Original Developer has, effective as of
the date of this document, sold and transferred its interest in the Project and under the Ground
Lease to the Declarant named above. In connection with the closing of the sale transaction, the
mortgage financing encumbering the Property and the Project securing the Housing Bonds has
been paid and satisfied in full, and of record. In addition, as part of the sale transaction, pursuant
to separate instruments, the HRA has simultaneously conveyed fee title to the Project and the
Property to Declarant, subject to the Development Agreement, and pursuant to separate
instruments, the parties have terminated and released the Ground Lease of record. Pursuant to a
separate instrument, the parties have amended the Development Agreement to delete any
reference to the Ground Lease, but the Development Agreement otherwise remains in full force
and effect, and as an encumbrance against the Property and the Project.
Even though the Ground Lease has been terminated, the parties intend that certain of the
covenants and restrictions previously contained in the Ground Lease will continue to encumber
the Property and the Project. Accordingly, the parties have entered into this Declaration for such
purposes.
NOW, THEREFORE, for One Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree
that the following restrictions and covenants will be deemed to be imposed on the Project and the
Property:
1. Recitals. The above "Background" recitals are expressly incorporated in this
Declaration by reference as if fully stated as additional terms and conditions of this Declaration.
2. Submission of Property to Declaration. This Declaration will be recorded
against the Property. The Property is hereby subjected to the provisions of this instrument, and
the Property will be owned, occupied, leased, sold, conveyed, mortgaged or otherwise
transferred subject to covenants of this instrument.
3. Covenants. The Declarant covenants that during the "Term" (as defined below):
a. The rental housing units in the Project will be rented only to persons fifty-
five (55) years of age or older (the "Senior Housing Restriction"). The Senior Housing
Restriction will be deemed satisfied if a married couple rents a rental housing unit in the
Project and one of the spouses is 55 years of age or older, even though the other spouse is
younger than 55 years of age. Moreover, if a housing unit is leased to a married couple,
one of whom is 55 years of age or older, and one of whom is less than 55 years of age,
and if the older spouse dies, or due to health reasons must relocate to a nursing home or
similar facility, then the younger spouse remaining in the housing unit will continue to be
deemed to meet and satisfy the Senior Housing Restriction, even if he/she is less than 55
years of age.
100354123 }
2
b. To the extent permitted by law, Declarant will give preference in the rental
of rental housing units in the Project which become vacant in the following order of
priority (the "Orono Preference Requirement"):
To persons who are residents or former residents of the City;
ii. To persons who have a child who is a resident of the City;
iii. Persons who have at any time been full time employees of the City
or an agency or department of the City; and
iv. Persons who are residents or former residence of the City of Long
Lake.
The Orono Preference Requirement will apply only if there is a waiting list for
available housing units.
Except for the Senior Housing Restriction and the Orono Preference Requirement
Declarant will not discriminate upon the basis of race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national
origin or sex, affectional preference, disability, marital status or status with regard to public
assistance, in the lease, or rental or in the use or occupancy of the Project. Any use of the Project
not authorized by this Section will be subject to the prior written approval of the HRA, which it
may deny in its absolute discretion.
4. Term. The restrictions and covenants of this Declaration will remain in effect
beginning on the Effective Date, and ending on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2042; or (ii) one
(1) year after the date of the substantial loss or destruction of the Property caused by fire,
windstorm, tornado, flood or other casualty, if the Project is not rebuilt within such year (the
"Term"). At the expiration of the Term, this Declaration will be null, void and of no further
force or affect without any further action, instrument or acknowledgment by the parties.
5. Covenants Running With the Land. Declarant hereby agrees that it is the
express intent that each of the affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions set forth above
shall be construed to be, deemed, and is hereby declared to be a covenant running with the
Property and that the benefit and burden of such covenants and restrictions shall pass to, and be
binding upon Declarant's successors and assigns and shall be perpetual during the Term. Each
and every contract, lease, conveyance, agreement or other instrument hereafter executed
covering or conveying the Property or any part or portion thereof shall conclusively be held to
have acquired such interest in the Property or any portion thereof subject to the encumbrance of
this instrument, regardless of whether or not such instrument is set forth or referred to, or
specifically agreed to be performed by any such transferee, in any such contract, lease,
conveyance, agreement or other such instrument.
6. Remedies, Enforceability. In the event of a violation, or attempted violation of
any of the covenants or restrictions above, the HRA may institute and prosecute any proceeding
at law or in equity to abate, prevent or enjoin any such violation or to specifically enforce the
100354123 }
3
covenants therein set forth. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, enforcement of these
covenants and restrictions shall not result in any claim against the Project, or against the rents or
other income from the property. Until terminated or deleted as hereinafter provided, the
provisions hereof are imposed upon and made applicable to the Property and the Project and
shall be enforceable against the Declarant, each purchaser, grantee, owner or lessee of the Project
and the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each. No delay in
enforcing the provisions of said covenants and restrictions as to any breach or violation shall
impair, damage or waive the right to enforce the same or to obtain relief against or recover for
the continuation or repetition of such breach or violation or any similar breach or violation
thereof at any later time or times.
7. Attorneys' Fees to Prevailing Party. In the event of any litigation between the
parties under any of the provisions of this instrument, the non -prevailing party to such
litigation agrees to pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, expert fees, costs of investigation, deposition costs, travel costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by the prevailing party in such litigation. The determination of
whether a party is a "prevailing party," and the reasonable amount of attorneys' fees and other
costs recoverable, will all be reserved to and decided by the Judge presiding over such litigation.
The parties agree that the amount of attorneys' fees and other costs which may be awarded must
bear a reasonable relationship to, and must be limited by the Judge to a reasonable amount in
view of, the amount recovered or the relief obtained by the prevailing party.
8. Estoppel Certificate. Within fifteen (15) days after written request by any party
to this instrument, the other party will provide an executed and acknowledged certificate in
recordable form confirming (to the extent accurate) that this instrument remains in full force and
effect at such time, that there are no defaults or claimed defaults by any party under this
instrument, and providing such further factual assurances as may be reasonably requested.
9. Notices. Any notice or election herein required or permitted to be given or
serviced by any party hereto upon the other will be in writing and delivered in person, by email,
