AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends approval of a development contract, an amended and restated TIF development
agreement, assignment of tax increment notes and release of a development agreement.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
Yes
Yes, held by Planning Commission 6 December 2021.
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The River’s Edge Apartments, located at 7701 River Road, was approved by the City Council on 23 July
2018. The proposed development includes 164 apartment dwelling units to be constructed in two phases.
The initial phase of 97 units has been completed and occupied and the property owner, Otsego Apartments
II, LLC, is proceeding with construction of Phase 2 consisting of 67 units. The property owner is pursing
financing for Phase 2 that is separate from Phase 1 and necessitates subdivision of the lot with the building
into two unit lots.
The proposed subdivision of Lot 1, Block 1, Riverbend North into two unit lots requires consideration of a
PUD Development Stage Plan amendment and a preliminary/final plat, and vacation of existing drainage
and utility easements. There are no additional public improvements to be constructed as a result of the
subdivision of the property into two unit lots. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on 6
December 2021 to consider the application and voted to recommend approval. The City Council approved
the applications at their meeting on 24 January 2022 subject to execution of a development contract.
In February 2022, the Developer met with and informed City staff that the previously approved
development contract and first amendment to the TIF development agreement needed further
modifications to meet financing requirements and formation of a new entity to develop phase two. The
respective development contract, approved by Resolution 2022-14 and first amendment to the TIF
development agreement approved by Resolution 2022-15 have not been executed or recorded and will
become superseded by the new documents pending City Council approvals at this meeting.
The City Attorney has drafted a revised development contract regarding the proposed final plat to bring
forward the requirements of the initial final plat approval and conditions and establish provisions specific
to the current application.
City staff has reviewed the status of the Phase 1 development, noting that all requirements have been met
by the Developer and that there is no longer a need to have the respective development agreement
recorded against the property. The City Attorney has drafted a release of development agreement for
Phase 1 and will be executed by City staff pending City Council approvals.
The City and Developer entered a TIF Development Agreement for the construction of the apartment
building phases and mini storage within Riverbend North. The City’s TIF Counsel (Mary Ippel, Taft) has
drafted an Amended and Restated TIF Development Agreement that memorializes similar changes to the
land use development contract such as developer entity and description of development property. One
additional change provides for the construction of Phase 2 to be completed by December 31, 2023, which
is an additional six months compared to the original TIF Development Agreement. In exchange for this
extension, the Developer has agreed to remove language for unavoidable delays.
Related to the TIF Development Agreement, the City’s TIF Counsel has drafted Assignment of Tax
Increment Revenue Notes documents. There are two assignment documents, the first assigning the
revenue notes from the Phase 1 developer (Otsego Apartments, LLC) to the Phase 2 developer (Otsego
Apartments II, LLC). The second assignments are from the Phase 2 developer (Otsego Apartments II, LLC) to
their financial institution (Wings Financial).
Section 10-5-3.B.8 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires that final plats be recorded within 100 days of
approval of the development contract addendum and TIF agreement addendum by the City Council.

▪ Resolution 2022-43 approving a Development Contract
▪ Development Contract
▪ Release of Development Agreement (Phase 1)
▪ Resolution 2022-44 authorizing Amended and Restated TIF Development Agreement
▪ Amended and Restated TIF Development Agreement

DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT
(Developer Installed Improvements)
RIVERBEND NORTH SECOND ADDITION
CONTRACT dated ____________________, 2022, by and between the CITY OF OTSEGO, a
Minnesota municipal corporation (“City”), and OTSEGO APARTMENTS II, LLC, a Minnesota limited
liability company (the “Developer”).
1. REQUEST FOR PLAT APPROVAL. The Developer has asked the City to approve a plat
for RIVERBEND NORTH SECOND ADDITION (referred to in this Contract as the "plat"). The land is
situated in the County of Wright, State of Minnesota, and is legally described as:
Lot 1, Block 1, Riverbend North Addition, Wright County, Minnesota, according to the
recorded plat thereof (“Original Lot”).
2. CONDITIONS OF PLAT APPROVAL. The City hereby approves the plat on condition that
the Developer enter into this Contract, furnish the security required by it, and record the plat with the
County Recorder or Registrar of Titles within 100 days after the City Council approves the final plat. The
plat further subdivides the Original Lot into two parcels to be known as Lot 1, Block 1, Riverbend North
Second Addition (“Phase 1 Lot”) and Lot 2, Block 1, Riverbend North Second Addition (“Phase 2 Lot”). The
Phase I Lot has been improved with 97-Unit apartment building according to the terms and conditions of
2
219911v9 Riverbend North Second Addition
Development Agreement Riverbend North Addition (the “Phase I Development Agreement”) dated January
28, 2019 recorded February 6, 2019 as Document No. A1389279 by and between Otsego Apartments,
LLC (“OA”), Otsego Mini Storage, LLC (“OMS”), and the City. The City approved development of the
Original Lot as a planned unit development according to the Phase I Development Agreement. Developer
intends to construct on the Phase 2 Lot what is described as Phase 2 in the Phase I Development
Agreement. This Agreement shall only encumber the Phase 2 Lot.
3. RIGHT TO PROCEED. Within the plat or land to be platted, the Developer may not grade
or otherwise disturb the earth or remove trees, unless a grading permit has been approved by the City
Engineer following approval of a preliminary plat by the City Council, construct sewer lines, water lines,
streets, utilities, public or private improvements, or any buildings until all the following conditions have been
satisfied: 1) this contract has been fully executed by both parties and filed with the City Clerk, 2) the
necessary security has been received by the City, 3) the necessary insurance for the Developer and its
construction contractors has been received by the City, and 4) the plat has been filed with the Wright
County Recorder or Registrar of Titles’ office.
4. PHASED DEVELOPMENT. The City acknowledges that OA and OMS have completed
the Phase I Improvements under the Phase 1 Development Agreement and this Agreement controls the
development of the Phase 2 Lot and any subsequent subdivisions or phases thereof. The Developer
shall install all listed improvements for Phase 2 by June 30, 2023, provided that the deadline shall be
extended for each day of Unavoidable Delay. For purposes of this Section, “Unavoidable Delays” means
delays, outside the control of the party claiming its occurrence, which are the direct result of strikes, other
labor troubles, unusually severe or prolonged bad weather, acts of God, fire or other casualty to the
Project, delays in delivery of materials for the construction of the Project, the soil conditions of the
Development Property, litigation commenced by third parties which, by injunction or other similar judicial
action or by the exercise of reasonable discretion, directly results in delays, or acts of any federal, state or
local governmental unit (other than the City) which directly result in delays.

219911v9 Riverbend North Second Addition
The City may refuse to approve final plats of subsequent phases if the Developer has breached this
Contract and the breach has not been remedied. Development of any subsequent phases may not
proceed until Development Contracts for such phases are approved by the City. Park dedication charges
referred to in this Contract are not being imposed on outlots, if any, in the plat that are designated in an
approved preliminary plat for future subdivision into lots and blocks. Such charges will be calculated and
imposed when the outlots are final platted into lots and blocks.
5. PRELIMINARY PLAT STATUS. If the plat is a phase of a multi-phased preliminary plat,
the preliminary plat approval for all phases not final platted shall lapse and be void unless final platted into
lots and blocks and outlots, within two (2) years after preliminary plat approval.
6. CHANGES IN OFFICIAL CONTROLS. For five (5) years from the date of this Contract, no
amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan or official controls shall apply to or affect the use,
development density, lot size, lot layout or dedications of the approved plat unless required by state or
federal law or agreed to in writing by the City and the Developer. Thereafter, notwithstanding anything in
this Contract to the contrary, to the full extent permitted by state law, the City may require compliance with
any amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan, official controls, platting or dedication requirements
enacted after the date of this Contract.
7. DEVELOPMENT PLANS. The Phase 2 Lot of the plat shall be developed in accordance
with the following plans by the Developer. The plans shall not be attached to this Contract. The plans may
be prepared, subject to the City Engineer’s approval, after entering the Contract, but before

prepared by a competent Minnesota registered professional engineer to the City for approval by the City
Engineer. If applicable, the Developer shall instruct its engineer to provide adequate field inspection
personnel to assure an acceptable level of quality control to the extent that the Developer’s engineer will be
able to certify that the construction work meets the approved City standards as a condition of City
acceptance. In addition, the City may, at the City’s discretion and at the Developer’s expense, have one or
more City inspectors and a soil engineer inspect the work on a full or part-time basis. The Developer, its

219911v9 Riverbend North Second Addition
contractors and subcontractors, shall follow all instructions received from the City’s inspectors. The
Developer’s engineer shall provide for on-site project management. The Developer’s engineer is
responsible for design changes and contract administration between the Developer and the Developer’s
contractor. The Developer or its engineer shall schedule a pre-construction meeting at a mutually
agreeable time at the City with all parties concerned, including the City staff, to review the program for the
construction work. Within thirty (30) days after the completion of the improvements and before the security
is released, the Developer shall supply the City with a complete set of reproducible “as-constructed” plans
and an electronic file of the “as-constructed” plans in an AutoCAD .DWG file or a .DXF file, all prepared in

219911v9 Riverbend North Second Addition
11. DEWATERING. Due to the variable nature of groundwater levels and stormwater flows, it
will be the Developer’s and the Developer’s contractors and subcontractors responsibility to satisfy
themselves with regard to the elevation of groundwater in the area and the level of effort needed to
perform dewatering and storm flow routing operations. All dewatering shall be in accordance with all
applicable county, state, and federal rules and regulations. DNR regulations regarding appropriations
permits shall also be strictly followed.
12. TIME OF PERFORMANCE. The Developer shall install all required public improvements
by June 30, 2023.
13. LICENSE. The Developer hereby grants the City, its agents, employees, officers and
contractors a license to enter the plat to perform all work and inspections deemed appropriate by the City in
conjunction with plat development on the Phase 2 Lot.
14. EROSION CONTROL. Prior to initiating site grading, the erosion control plan, Plan B, shall
be implemented by the Developer and inspected and approved by the City. The City may impose
additional erosion control requirements if they would be beneficial. All areas disturbed by the grading
operations shall be stabilized per the MPCA Stormwater Permit for Construction Activity. Seed shall be in
accordance with the City’s current seeding specification which may include temporary seed to provide
ground cover as rapidly as possible. All seeded areas shall be fertilized, mulched, and disc anchored as
necessary for seed retention. The parties recognize that time is of the essence in controlling erosion. If the
Developer does not comply with the MPCA Stormwater Permit for Construction Activity or with the erosion
control plan and schedule or supplementary instructions received from the City, the City may take such
action as it deems appropriate to control erosion. The City will endeavor to notify the Developer in advance
of any proposed action, but failure of the City to do so will not affect the Developer’s and City’s rights or
obligations hereunder. If the Developer does not reimburse the City for any cost the City incurred for such
work within ten (10) days, the City may draw down the letter of credit to pay any costs. No development,
7
219911v9 Riverbend North Second Addition
utility or street construction on the Phase 2 Lot will be allowed and no building permits will be issued unless
the plat is in full compliance with the approved erosion control plan.
15. GRADING. The Phase 2 Lot shall be graded in accordance with the approved grading
development and erosion control plan, Plan “B”. The plan shall conform to City of Otsego specifications.
Within thirty (30) days after completion of the grading and before the City approves individual building
permits (except three (3) model home permits on lots acceptable to the Building Official), the Developer
shall provide the City with an “as-constructed” grading plan for the Phase 2 Lot, if applicable, certified by a
registered land surveyor or engineer that all storm water treatment/infiltration basins and swales, have
been constructed on public easements or land owned by the City. The “as-constructed” plan, if applicable,
shall include field verified elevations of the following: a) cross sections of storm water treatment/infiltration
basins; b) location and elevations along all swales, wetlands, wetland mitigation areas if any, locations and
dimensions of borrow areas/stockpiles, and installed “conservation area” posts; and c) lot corner elevations
and house pads, and all other items listed in City Code. The City will withhold issuance of building permits
until the approved certified grading plan is on file with the City and all erosion control measures are in place
as determined by the City Engineer.
Before a building permit is issued, a cash escrow shall be furnished to the City in accordance with
the City’s current fee schedule to guarantee compliance with the erosion control and grading
requirements and the submittal of an as-built certificate of survey. If the final grading, erosion control and
as-built survey is not timely completed, the City may enter the Phase 2 Lot, perform the work, and apply
the cash escrow toward the cost. Upon satisfactory completion of the grading, erosion control and as-
built survey, the escrow funds, without interest, less any draw made by the City, shall be returned to the
person who deposited the funds with the City.
A certified as-built building pad survey must be submitted and approved for commercial, industrial
or institutional developments prior to issuance of a building permit.
16. CLEAN UP. The Developer shall clean dirt and debris from streets that has resulted from
construction work by the Developer, home builders, subcontractors, their agents or assigns. Prior to any
8
219911v9 Riverbend North Second Addition
construction in the plat, the Developer shall identify in writing a responsible party and schedule for erosion
control, street cleaning, and street sweeping.
17. OWNERSHIP OF IMPROVEMENTS. Upon completion of the work and construction
required by this Contract and final acceptance by the City, the improvements lying within public easements
shall become City property without further notice or action.

required water availability charges and sanitary sewer availability charges. The water and sewer
availability charges shall be collected according to Section 8-1-6-B of City Code including 9.0 RECs per

uses.
The Developer shall pay a cash fee in the amount of $81,270.45 for the Sewer Availability Charge
(“SAC”) at the time a building permit is issued which is calculated as follows:
9.0du/ac. X 3.13ac. X $2,885.00 = $81,270.45
19. TRUNK WATERMAIN. The Developer shall pay a cash fee in the amount of $56,734.38
for the Water Availability Charge (“WAC”) at the time a building permit is issued which is calculated as

22. PARK DEDICATION. The Developer shall pay a cash contribution of $271,819.00 in
satisfaction of the City’s park dedication requirements for the Phase 2 Lot. The charge is calculated as
follows:
67 units X $4,057.00 per unit = $271,819.00
23. LANDSCAPING. Before a building permit is issued for Phase 2, a cash escrow for the
Phase 2 Lot shall be furnished to the City in accordance with the City’s current fee schedule to guarantee
compliance with the approved landscaping plan requirements. If the landscaping is not completed in a
timely manner, the City may enter the lot, perform the work, and apply the cash escrow toward the cost.
Upon satisfactory completion of the landscaping the escrow funds, without interest, less any draw made
by the City, shall be returned to the person who deposited the funds with the City. All trees shall be
warranted to be alive, of good quality, and disease free for twelve (12) months after planting. Any
replacements shall be warranted for twelve (12) months from the time of planting. The Developer or
property owner is responsible for contacting the City when all the landscaping has been installed to set
up an inspection. Fifty percent (50%) of the security will be released when all the landscaping has been

petition or other means to have the market value for the Development Property reduced. Until the

OA2, or OMS, as applicable, to the City indicating its intention to do so. Upon receiving such
notice, or otherwise learning of the Developer's, OA2's, or OMS's intentions, the City may suspend
payments due under the TIF Notes until the actual amount of the reduction is determined,
whereupon the City will make the suspended payments less any amount that the City is required
to repay the County as a result any reduction in market value of the Development Property. During
the period that the payments are subject to suspension, the City may make partial payments on the
TIF Notes if it determines, in its sole and absolute discretion that the amount retained will be
sufficient to cover any repayment which the County may require. The City's suspension of
payments on the TIF Notes pursuant to this Section shall not be considered a default under this
Agreement.
Section 3.4 Look Back and Reduction of TIF Assistance. The financial assistance to be
provided to the Developer pursuant to this Agreement is based on certain assumptions regarding

Forma submitted to the City by the Developer and attached as Exhibit F). The City and Developer
agree that those assumptions will be reviewed at the time of completion of construction of the
Project and at the time of any sale of the Phase 1 Project or any portion thereof. At the time of
completion of construction of the Project (both the Phase 1 Project and the Phase 2 Project), if the
aggregate amount of Site Improvement costs incurred is less than the aggregate amount of Site
Improvement costs projected in Exhibit E, the TIF assistance for Site Improvement costs will be
reduced on a dollar for dollar basis in the amount of such deficiency and the principal amount of
TIF Note B will be adjusted accordingly.
Section 3.5 Property Sale. If the Developer or OA2 sells their respective interest in the
Project, or OMS sells the Mini Storage Project, to an unrelated third party during the term of this
Agreement, the Developer or OA2, as applicable, agrees to provide to the City's municipal advisor
(the "Consultant") certified cost and revenue information related to their respective interest in the
Project and income and expenses for the period from the date of this Agreement through such sale
(provided that the Developer, OA2, and the City agree that the calculation date will occur prior to
the actual transfer). The cost and revenue information will be prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. If the Consultant properly determines, based on such
73215736v2
11
review, that the actual profit realized by the Developer, OA2, or OMS has exceeded a 20% Internal
Rate of Return ("IRR") during that period (to be calculated in a manner comparable to the sample
attached as Exhibit G), then 100% of the excess amount of such profit over the 20% IRR will be
applied to reduce the amount payable under TIF Note B and the principal amount of TIF Note B
will be reduced accordingly. Such reduction will be effective upon delivery to Developer of a
written notice stating the amount of such excess profit as determined by the City in accordance
with this Section, accompanied by the Consultant's report.
