ROLL CALL/CALL THE HRA MEETING TO ORDER Chair Tyra-Lukens called the meeting to order at 7:02 PM. Council Members Butcher Wickstrom and Nelson were absent. II. APPROVE MINUTES OF HRA MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 5, 2016 MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Case, to approve the minutes of the HRA meeting held January 5, 2016. Motion carried 3-0. III. ADOPT RESOLUTION HRA NO. 2016-01 APPROVING AMENDMENT 3 TO HOUSING PROJECT AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION BY CHAIR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Getschow said this item is related to the Eden Gardens development. If the item is approved, there will be a subsequent item on tonight's Council agenda. Jeremiah said the developer has requested an adjustment to the number of required moderate income units in the housing project. After a couple of years of marketing, they have sold only seven of the moderate income units. They anticipate at least three additional sales of moderate income units, and possibly up to six sales. She noted there will be a slight clarification of the amendment to allow flexibility by specifying the number to be a minimum of ten units required so that it would be possible to increase the number beyond ten going forward. In addition, the amendment waives the repayment of property requirements of paragraph 6 for the moderate income units and requires the payment of park dedication fees for any units removed from the category of moderate income units. Aho asked what the original number of moderate income units was. Jeremiah replied it was 20 units. Aho noted that means it has come down to half the original number. Jeremiah said they have been successful in the goal of getting the units to residents of Eden Prairie and those who work in Eden Prairie. Rosow noted the motion should be changed to reflect the changes discussed.
