a. It has been proposed that the City create a tax increment

be designated a redevelopment district as defined in Minnesota

b. In order to create this type of tax increment financing district, the
City must make a determination that before the demolition or
removal of substandard buildings, certain conditions existed.
c. The conditions found by the City to exist throughout the
proposed tax increment financing district are that parcels
consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied
• by buildings, streets, utilities, or other improvements and more
than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are
structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial
renovation or clearance.
d. In order to deem a parcel as being occupied by a structurally
substandard building, the City must first pass a resolution before
the demolition or removal that the parcel was occupied by one
or more structurally substandard buildings and that after
demolition and clearance, the City intended to include the parcel
within the proposed tax increment financing district.
e. There exists in the City's area of operation on each parcel or
parcels described in Exhibit A attached here to (collectively, the
"Parcels") one or more structurally substandard buildings to be
demolished or removed (the "Substandard Building Condition").
f. A parcel is deemed to be occupied by a structurally substandard
building if the Substandard Building Condition is met within
three years of the filing of the request for certification of the
parcel as part of the tax increment financing district with the
county auditor; and if certain other conditions are met.

Totals 78,010 87,577 11/15 7/11
Test 1: 70% of parcels need to be considered occupied.To be considered occupied, a minimum of 15%of the parcel area must contain buildings,
streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures. Per the table above, 11 out of the 15 parcels can be considered occupied.
Thus 73%of the parcels are occupied and meet this requirement.
Test 2:50% of buildings,not including outbuildings,must be considered structurally substandard.To be structurally substandard, a building
must contain defects in structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation,fire protection
including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors,which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance
to justify substantial renovation or clearance.A building is not structurallly substandard if it is in compliance with building code applicable to new
buildings or could be modified to satisfy the building code at a cost of less than 15 percent of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same
square footage and type on the site. Per the attached property summary sheets and the table above, seven out of the eleven houses in the area are
deemed structurally substandard. Thus 64%of the houses are considered structurally substandard and meet this requirement.
