W hen commercial property owners and managers are asked about their portfolio’s greatest exposure to property damage, most invariably respond: fire. When it occurs, the destruction left behind is often fairly significant, and may even be enough to warrant a minute or two on the evening news. What many fail to realize, however, is that losses from flood pose a far more statistically significant threat. In fact, during a thirty-year mortgage, there is a 10.5% chance of a property experiencing a fire and a 26% chance of a flood. Almost three times as likely, and yet flood insurance is often overlooked, and even more often misunderstood. Now, as another long and snowy Minnesota winter slowly gives way to spring, is a good time to examine this specific coverage a bit more closely. Here we will discuss how flood insurance works for commercial property owners and managers, and attempt to dispel some commonly held misconceptions. As those that have dealt with a property claim can attest, commercial insurance is very often an exercise in double negatives. Special Form ISO Property policy language begins by essentially granting coverage for everything, then limits coverage through a series of exclusions. The mandatory flood exclusion is one of these, and its broad definition suggests it should be referred to as the “water exclusion” in order to more accurately convey its limitations beyond traditional “flooding” to insureds. In 2009, this exclusion was more clearly defined as a response to the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina and efforts by the insurance industry to draw a greater distinction between the coverage for damage caused by wind, which is covered, and water, which is not.

A property located within one of these communities will be assigned a predetermined “flood zone” that represents its risk of experiencing a flood within a certain timeframe, generally 100 years.

construction of the 222 Condo Building in DowntownMinneapolis late last year, a ruptured city water mainreleased millions of gallons of water onto city streets. Thisdeluge of surface water found its way into surroundingbasements and parking structures and caused a yetundetermined amount of physical damage to property andeven more in business interruption losses. While the finalinsurable result of this event is still being worked out, it isgenerally accepted that a significant portion of the total losswill be attributable to flood, and many may find that theyare without the protection of their property insurance carrier.

There is a saying in the insurance business that goes: After aloss, it’s always cheap. Perhaps with no other line coverageoutside the standard package does this ring more true forproperty owners and managers. Our unique geographicand sometimes volatile atmospheric situation here inMinnesota warrants a serious evaluation into a specificproperty’s exposure to flood losses. Ask your agent toprovide you with information regarding the NFIP or visitfloodsmart.gov. You may also request that they determinethe flood zone of individual properties under managementand provide a more detailed analysis using a variety ofsophisticated flood mapping software. After manydevastating events the common reaction is “I didn’t think itcould happen here.” Fire, tornado or hail all pose a seriousrisk to properties in every corner of the state, but the oneequally likely to occur, flood, may have been unwittinglydisregarded. As the snow begins to melt, it would be wise toreevaluate this important coverage.

Property Management

As consumers, we love the shopping center lights tokeep us safe at night; we love the convenience ofoutdoor trash cans; the flyers that retailers hand out

with specials are really helpful; and the more traffic there is,the more confidence a consumer has that the center isheaded in the right direction.

These same examples can benightmares for a residentialneighbor: the bright lights,blowing trash and too muchtraffic. So how can a propertymanager effectively addresstheir concerns while not makingit more difficult for consumersand not spend a lot of money?

Here are some simple tips on being a good commercialneighbor:

1. Ensure that parking lot lights are pointed down on the lotsand not spilling light across the street. Many electricalcontractors will do this at no cost when they are alreadyon your site to change out lamps or ballasts.

2. Make sure that your portering service contractor takes thetime to run across the street and pick up any trash thatmay have blown into the neighbor’s lawns or fences. Ifyou do not have a service that picks up the grounds, askthat the tenants swing by their neighbors at least once aday when they are addressing their own trash andgarbage cans.

3. Speed bumps are fairly inexpensive and very effective atslowing down vehicles. Slowed down traffic not onlydecreases the noise, but it also makes for a much saferparking lot.

4. Keep in contact with your residential neighbors. Sendthem a holiday card, call or email to check in with themfrom time to time and see if they have any concerns.

Many of those same neighbors frequent your center, somake sure they are happy neighbors as well as happyconsumers.

March’s program focused on retail development inthe city of Edina and how the first-ring suburb hascontinued to be a successful, established retail

community. The panel was comprised of: Bill Neuendorf,Economic Development Manager for the city of Edina;Lauren Carpenter, Director of Marketing and BusinessDevelopment at Simon Property Group and Jeffrey A.Herman, President of Urban Anthology. The moderator wasLisa Diehl, Principal of Diehl and Partners, LLC. The panelistsdiscussed Edina’s Commercial Districts.

In 2013, the city of Edina celebrates its 125th anniversary. Thevillage of Edina was created from a portion of the RichfieldTownship on April 5, 1888. Edina has grown to what is todaywith over 48,000 residences, an abundance of retail,services and an area of continued growth.

The 50th & France area is only a four square block area ofprime retail, in which retailers thrive off of one another. Thereare three shared public parking lots located in the north,middle and south regions of the 50th & France area, whichamounts to the largest quantity of free parking of anyneighborhood commercial area at 1,500 parking stalls. Theconstruction plans for additional parking were put on holddue to the unsustainable cost; today the city of Edina isresurrecting the plans and moving forward. In response toproblems associated with the disruption of construction onthe public and local retailers, the plans for additionalparking include first creating new parking and thenredeveloping the current parking.

Southdale Center is 1.3 million sf of retail and the first everenclosed mall in the Twin Cities. Simon’s 2007 purchase ledto redevelopment and Herberger’s replacing Mervyn’s,which closed in 2004. Every entrance has been redone, achildren’s play area and a brand new dining area pavilionhave been added, and an abundance of new retailersincluding Sephora, Francesca’s, Lucky, Soma, Madewell,Michael Kors, Bath and Body Works and ThingsRemembered, to name a few, have been added.

Recent projects to the Edina area also include a new retailredevelopment and Whole Foods Market. Some projects tolook for on the horizon are: Edina Medical Plaza, TransitCenter, Southdale Apartments, Byerly’s on France andbetter connections on the France Avenue streetscaping aswell as the Grandview District project currently indevelopment.

The MSCA Legislative Committee has been working very hard to remove the proposedbusiness-to-business service tax and sales tax on clothing from the Governor's proposedbudget as it would negatively impact the shopping center industry. Through our hard-fought

efforts, in mid-March, the Governor eliminated the business-to-business service tax and sales taxon clothing from his revised budget but that does not mean all business services or even theclothing sales tax are permanently off the table. It is imperative that we continue to advocatefor our businesses and our industry. If you're not at the table, you're on the menu!

Here's what you can do to help:

- Contribute to the MSCA Legislative Fund - This supports our lobbying efforts, creation and mailing of our Economic ImpactStudy brochure to the Governor and Legislators, our sponsorship and critical attendance at Business Day at the Capitol, andour one-on-one meetings with Legislators.

- Send us your Home District (or your home address and we can look it up for you) - This helps us when we speak withLegislators in your district to show how many of their constituents are members of MSCA.

- Reach out to your Representatives using the online Legislative Toolkit - Visit the MSCA website's Legislative Committee pageto utilize the Legislative Toolkit which provides talking points and a letter template for reaching out to your Representatives.
