AGENDA ITEM:
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION
ESTABLISHING THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR
DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 5 AND ESTABLISHING TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 5-1 AND THE
PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
PLAN THEREFORE (PREMIERE DANCE STUDIO).
DISCUSSION:
Introduction
The purpose of this item is to consider the following:
1. The establishment of the Development Program for Development
District No.5; and
2. The establishment of TIF District 5-1.
City Council is asked to establish Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1
for the purposes of assisting in the redevelopment of Lot 13, Block 13 & Lot
14 & west 12' of Lot 12 (4616 Colorado St.) in the downtown area, for the
future location of Premiere Dance Academy (PDA).
Historv
PDA has outgrown its current facility at 16210 Eagle Creek Ave (the Library
Resource Center). Over the last year PDA owner Dawn Schulberg has been
seeking larger space in Prior Lake and has decided to keep her business in
the downtown area, opting for property at 4616 Colorado St. The property
currently includes a severely blighted house. The structure has been
inspected and meets the statutory definition of blighted property.
Current Circumstances
PDA is proposing to construct a two story approximately 10,000 sq ft
building on the subject property. The property is currently zoned C-3, with
the 2030 Comprehensive Land Use Plan calling for that parcel to be
designated as C-TC (Town Center). The applicant plans on starting
demolition and construction as soon as possible, contingent upon City
approvals of the site I building plan-design and TIF.
Financing for the project will consist of bank financing and tax increment
financing. The tax increment financing plan (attached) indicates that there
are up to $330,000 in eligible expenses for which TIF could be requested.
The applicant is requesting $135,000 in TIF funds to be applied toward
eligible reimbursable costs of property acquisition and site preparation
(demolition I clearance). The TIF amount represents approximately 18% of
the total long term financing of the project.

The proposed use of TIF is "pay-as-you-go" method of reimbursing eligible
project costs. Pay-as-you-go TIF is when tax increment receipts generated
from the development are used to reimburse the developer and city for
qualified costs over the life of the district. This form of tax increment
financing does not guarantee a specific amount of benefits and therefore
the taxpayer is not at financial risk.
In accordance with State Statute, project eligibility is based on proposed
redevelopment activities, and passing of the "But For" test (a finding that the
proposed TIF assistance is necessary to bring about the proposed
development). Both the eligibility and "But For" test have been completed
and recommended for approval by city financial consultant Ehlers and
Associates as part of the Development Program for Development District
No.5, and Tax Increment Financing Plan for TIF District No. 5-1.
In accordance with State Statutes, the City must also enter into a private
development contract and business subsidy agreement with Premiere
Dance Academy. Those items will be before you at the March 20th meeting.
Conclusion
Revitalizing this severely blighted property and retaining the successful
dance studio business in the downtown through the use of tax increment
financing is in keeping with the downtown revitalization and economic
elements of the Comprehensive Plan and 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan.
This project is also consistent with the City's Business Subsidy Policy. The
proposed redevelopment project would not happen without the
establishment of Development District NO.5 and TIF District 5-1.
ISSUES:
The proposed TIF project, if approved, would be followed by the demolition
of the existing blighted house, and the construction of 10,000 sq. ft. building
for the dance academy. The project's design is currently under review by the
Development Review Committee. The company cannot commence
construction until TIF has been approved by the City Council.
In accordance with State Statutes, the proposed Development Program for
District NO.5 and TIF Plan for TIF District 5-1 have been sent to the other
affected taxing jurisdictions, including Scott County and the Prior Lake
Savage School District 719. The City has not received comments from the
jurisdictions other than the County regarding the TIF district. At its February
28th meeting, the County Board acknowledged that the district qualifies for
redevelopment purposes and provided comments regarding the potential
parking and student drop-off/pick up situation for the dance studio. The
County asked that their comments be made part of the March 6, 2006
hearing record. It is our belief that the 65 stall parking lot across the street
coupled with the addition of a car pull over lane, which is part of this project,
will address both of these concerns.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
The City is proposing to collect taxes that would normally be disbursed to
additional taxing jurisdictions and allow the reimbursement of project costs
back to the developer over a portion of the duration of the TIF District (The
full term of a Redevelopment District is 25 years). According to the cash flow
projection, the gross tax increment is estimated by the City financial
consultant Ehlers and Associates to be approximately $328,522 over the
duration of the TIF District, with a present value of $134,356. The proposed
TIF financing for the project is $135,000 to assist in property acquisition and
site preparation, and therefore, as highlighted on the associated cash flow
under "cumulative TIF", the district would extend 12 years rather than the full
25 years. The cash flow and impacts to the local taxing jurisdictions are
presented in greater detail in the attached TIF Plan for TIF District 5-1.

1. Adopt Resolution #OS-XX, approving the Development Program for
Development District NO.5 and the establishment of TIF District 5-1.

A comparative analysis of estimated market values both with and without establishment of the District and
the use oftax increments has been performed as described above. If all development which is proposed to be
assisted with tax increment were to occur in the District, the total increase in market value would be up to
$863,500. The present value of tax increments from the District is estimated to be $134,366. It is the
Council's fmding that no development with a market value of greater than $729,134 would occur without tax
increment assistance in this district within 25 years. This fmding is based upon evidence from general past
experience with the high cost of acquisition and demolition in the general area of the District. (See Cashflow
in Appendix D of the TIP Plan.)
3. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Planfor Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1 conforms to
the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The Planning Commission reviewed the TIP Plan and found that the TIP Plan conforms to the general
development plan of the City.
4. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Planfor Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1 will afford
maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or
redevelopment of Development District No.5 by private enterprise.
The project to be assisted by the TIP District will result in increased employment in the City and the State of
Minnesota, the renovation of substandard properties, increased tax base of the State and add a high quality
development to the City.

RE: Adoption of Tax Increment Financing District # 5-1
Dear Frank:
On March 6, the Prior Lake City Council will be conducting a public hearing regarding the establishment
of Tax Increment Financing District #5-1. The Scott County Board of Commissioners was given a
presentation on the proposed project at the County Board meeting on February 28, 2006. Although
the ultimate authority to approve the Tax Increment District rests with the City of Prior Lake, after
reviewing the plan of the proposed district, the Scott County Board of Commissioners would like to
submit these formal comments and recommendations for the City's consideration.
The County agrees that the district qualifies as a Redevelopment District by statute; the Scott County
Board of Commissioners concurs that the use of Tax Increment dollars to finance a project that tends
to the needs of a blighted area that contains a substandard building is a good use of tax increment
revenues.
However, the Scott County Board of Commissioners is concerned about issues of public safety, the
availability of parking, and street congestion and access. As such, we would like the City Council to
consider the following concerns in making its final decision:
· The street abutting the project property is narrow; has an elementary school located to the
west of the development; and was formally residentially in use so therefore has residential
properties adjacent to it. What will the impact be on the street with the increased traffic that
will arise due to the creation of this project?
· On site parking for clients. The business will need to utilize a municipal parking lot that is
diagonally located across Colorado Street from the business. Should a business that
accommodates the needs of families and children have sufficient on-site parking?
· Congestion, due to increased traffic, will impact the ability of the local residents to access their
property with ease, as clients will use on street parking for access to the facility. How can local
residents be assured that no access problems will occur due to this project?

4 Year Activity Rule
(~469.176 Subd 6)
After four years from the date of certification of the District one
of the following activities must have been commenced on each
parcel in the District:
· demolition
· rehabilitation
· renovation
· other site preparation (not including utility services such as
sewer and water)
If the activity has not been started by the approximately March,
2010, no additional tax increment may be taken from that parcel
until the commencement of a qualifying activity.
Within 5 years of certification revenues derived from tax
increments must be expended or obligated to be expended. Tax
increments are considered to have been expended on an activity
within the District if one of the following occurs:
the revenues are actually paid to a third party with respect to
the activity
· bonds, the proceeds of which must be used to finance the
activity, are issued and sold to a third party, the revenues are
spent to repay the bonds, and the proceeds of the bonds
either are reasonably expected to be spent before the end of
the later of (i) the five year period, or (ii) a reasonable
temporary period within the meaning of the use of that tenn
under 9. 148(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, or are
deposited in a reasonably required reserve or replacement
fund
· binding contracts with a third party are entered into for
perfonnance of the activity and the revenues are spent under
the contractual obligation
· costs with respect to the activity are paid and the revenues
are spent to reimburse a pay for payment of the costs,
including interest on unreimbursed costs.
Any obligations in the Tax Increment District made after
approximately March, 2011, will not be eligible for repayment
from tax increments.

TIF District Overview
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan (TIF Plan) for
Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1 (District), as required pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175,
Subdivision 3 are as follows:
1. Finding that Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1 is a redevelopment district as defined in MS., Section
469.174, Subd. 10.
The District consists of 1 parcel, with plans to redevelop the area for commercial purposes. At least 70 percent
of the area of the parcels in the District are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots
or other similar structures and more than 50 percent of the buildings in the District, not including outbuildings,
are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. (See Appendix F of the
TIF Plan.)
2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not reasonably be expected
to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased
market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing
would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after
subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of Tax Increment
Financing District No. 5-1 permitted by the TIF Plan.
The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through
private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future: This finding is supported by the fact that the
redevelopment proposed in the TIF Plan meets the City's objectives for redevelopment. Due to the high cost
of redevelopment on the parcels currently occupied by substandard buildings, the limited amount of commercial
property for expansion adjacent to the existing project, the incompatible land uses at close proximity, and the
cost offmancing the proposed improvements, this project is feasible only through assistance, in part, from tax
increment financing. The total amount of assistance to the project is $135,000. This amount will be used to
assist with redevelopment cost and help the project become more financially feasible. The assistance is being
used to assist with the purchase of the dilapidate building, demolition of the building (estimated to be $24,000)
and other redevelopment costs.
The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax
increment financing would be less than the increase in market value estimated to result from the proposed
development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of
the District permitted by the TIF Plan: This finding is justified on the grounds that the cost of site and public
improvements and utilities add to the total redevelopment cost. Historically, site and public improvements costs
in this area have made redevelopment infeasible without tax increment assistance. Therefore, the City
reasonably determines that no other redevelopment of similar scope is anticipated on this site without
substantially similar assistance being provided to the development.
A comparative analysis of estimated market values both with and without establishment ofthe District and the
use of tax increments has been performed as described above. If all development which is proposed to be
assisted with tax increment were to occur in the District, the total increase in market value would be up to
$863,500. The present value oftax increments from the District is estimated to be $134,366. It is the Council's
finding that no development with a market value of greater than $729,134 would occur without tax increment
assistance in this district within 25 years. This fmding is based upon evidence from general past experience with
the high cost of acquisition and demolition in the general area of the District. (See Cashflow in Appendix D of
the TIF Plan.)

general plan for the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The Planning Commission reviewed the TIF Plan and found that the TIF Plan conforms to the general
development plan of the City.
4. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1 will afford

redevelopment of Development District No. 5 by private enterprise.
The project to be assisted by the TIF District will result in increased employment in the City and the State of

development to the City.

Subsection 1-2. Statutory Authority
The City established Development District No.5 pursuant to the Development District Act. It is authorized
that the City will administer Development District No.5 and any tax increment financing districts.
Within Development District No.5, the City plans to create one or more tax increment financing districts
established pursuant to the Tax Increment Act to finance the public improvements proposed for the
Development District. The public improvements may be initially financed from other City sources, including,
but not limited to the use of improvement bonds issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, which
sources the City may reimburse from tax increment proceeds derived from tax increment districts to be
created within Development District No.5.
The tax increment district or districts will be created at such time as will enable the City to capture the
increase in taxable value of private improvements to be constructed within Development District No.5.
Subsection 1-3. Statement of and Finding of Public Purpose
In recent months, the City has been reviewing the future development of the community. This review has
defined several important roles for the City of Prior Lake.
· Facilitating development activities that are compatible with overall community development
objectives of the City.
· Removing the physical and economic barriers to development.
· Providing the infrastructure needed to support development.
. Providing sites for future development.
The City intends to use the powers allowed under the Development District Act to fill these roles, to promote
development and redevelopment throughout the City, and to pool resources in order to reduce financial
barriers to providing decent housing and development and redevelopment opportunities.
The City has found that there is a need for development and redevelopment within the Development District
based upon the following conditions:
1. The Development District suffers from a lack of necessary streets, utilities and site improvements
essential to preparing and making sites available for meaningful development.
2. The Development District requires active promotion, attraction, encouragement and development
of economically sound commerce through government action for the purpose of preventing
emergence and continuation of blight and the occurrence of conditions requiring redevelopment
3. The Development District contains vacant, unused, underused and inappropriately used land.
Therefore, the City has detennined to exercise its authority to develop a program for improving the
Development District to provide impetus for private development and redevelopment, to maintain and
increase employment, to provide infrastructure to serve citizens and employees of the City, to utilize existing
land for potential redevelopment and to provide other facilities as are outlined in the Development Program.
The City has also detennined that proposed developments to be assisted by the City would not occur solely
through private investment in the foreseeable future. The City finds that the welfare of the City, as well as
City of Prior Lake
Development Program for Development District No.5
1-2
the State, requires active promotion, attraction, encouragement and development of economically sound
industry and commerce to carry out its stated public purpose objectives.
The City has also detennined that any tax increment financing plans to be proposed herein will be consistent
with the Development Program, and that the tax increment financing plans will afford maximum opportunity,
consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the
Development District by private enterprise.
Subsection 1-4.
Statement of Objectives
The City detennines that it is necessary, desirable and in the public interest to establish, designate, develop
and administer the Development District. The City detennines that the establishment of Development District
No. 5 will provide the City with the ability to achieve certain public purpose objectives not otherwise
obtainable in the foreseeable future without City intervention in the nonnal development process. The City
seeks to achieve the following program objectives:
1. Promoting and securing the prompt development of property in the Development District in a
manner consistent with the City's planning and with a minimal adverse impact on the
environment, which property is less productive because of the lack of proper utilization and lack
of investment, and thereby promoting and securing the development of other land in the City;
2. Promoting and securing additional employment opportunities within the Development District
and the City for residents of the City and the surrounding area, thereby improving living
standards and preventing unemployment and the loss of skilled and unskilled labor and other
human resources in the City;
3. Securing the increase in value of property subject to taxation by the City, Independent School
District No. 719 and Scott County, and any other taxing jurisdictions in order to better enable
such entities to pay for public improvements and governmental services and programs required
to be provided by them;
4. Securing the construction and providing of moneys for the payment of the cost of public
improvements in the Development District, which are necessary for the orderly and beneficial
development of the Development District; and
Subsection 1-5.
Statement of Public Facilities and Costs to Be Financed
The preceding objectives will be promoted by providing improvements and opportunities within the
Development District which may include various types of site improvements, land acquisition,
redevelopment, demolition, parking, street, sewer, water and other public improvements. A description of
the items of expenditure and the estimated costs can be found in the Tax Increment Financing Plans for the
Tax Increment Financing Districts created within this Development District.
Subsection 1-6.
Funding of Developments and Redevelopments
To implement the established objectives, the City plans to utilize a number of public and private financing
tools. Funding of the necessary activities and improvements in the Development District is expected to be
accomplished through, and is not limited to, tax increment financing, special assessments, state aid for road
construction, proceeds from the sale of property, and federal and state grants.
Any public facilities within the Development District will be financially feasible and compatible with longer
range development plans. Any acquisition of property for the public improvements will be done to provide
City of Prior Lake
Development Program for Development District No.5
1-3
the impetus for private development within the Development District.
Subsection 1-7.
Environmental Controls
All municipal actions, public improvements and private development shall be carried out in a manner
consistent with existing environmental controls and all applicable Land Use Regulations.
Subsection 1-8.
Proposed Reuse of Property
The Development Program contemplates that the City may acquire property and reconvey the same to another
entity. Prior to formal consideration of the acquisition of any property, the City will require the execution
of a binding development agreement with respect thereto and evidence that Tax Increments or other funds
will be available to repay the Public Costs associated with the proposed acquisition. It is the intent of the City
to negotiate the acquisition of property whenever possible. Appropriate restrictions regarding the reuse and
redevelopment of property shall be incorporated into any development agreement to which the City is a party.
Subsection 1-9.
Open Space to Be Created
Any open space within the Development District will be created in accordance with the zoning and
ordinances of the City.
Subsection 1-10.
Administration and Maintenance of Development District No.5
Maintenance and operation of the Development District will be the responsibility of the City Clerk. Each
year, the City Clerk will submit to the City Council the maintenance and operation budget for the following
year.
The City Clerk will administer the Development District pursuant to the provision of the Development
Program; provided, however, that such powers may only be exercised at the direction of the City. No action
taken by the City Clerk pursuant to the above-mentioned powers shall be effective without authorization by
the City.
Subsection 1-11.
Rehabilitation
Owners of properties within the Development District may be encouraged to rehabilitate their properties to
conform with the applicable state and local codes and ordinances, as well as any design standards. Persons
who purchase property within the Development District from the City may be required to rehabilitate their
properties as a condition of sale of land. The City may provide such rehabilitation assistance as may be
available from federal, state or local sources.
Subsection 1-12.
Relocation
Any person or business that is displaced as a result of the Development Program will be relocated in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 117.50 to 117.56. The City accepts its responsibility for
providing for relocation assistance pursuant to the Development District.
Subsection 1-13.

Subsection 2-5. Description of Property in the District and Property To Be Acquired
The District encompasses all property and adjacent rights-of-way and abutting roadways identified by the
parcel listed below. See the map in Appendix B for further information on the location of the District.
Parcel Number
25-001103-0
The City may acquire any parcel within the District including interior and adjacent street rights of way . Any
properties identified for acquisition will be acquired by the City only in order to accomplish one or more of
the following: storm sewer improvements; provide land for needed public streets, utilities and facilities; carry
out land acquisition, site improvements, clearance and/or development to accomplish the uses and objectives
set forth in this plan. The City may acquire property by gift, dedication, condemnation or direct purchase
from willing sellers in order to achieve the objectives of this TIF Plan. Such acquisitions will be undertaken
only when there is assurance of funding to finance the acquisition and related costs.
Subsection 2-6. Classification of the District
The City, in determining the need to create a tax increment fmancing district in accordance with MS.,
Sections 469.174 to 469.1799, as amended, inclusive, fmds that the District, to be established, is a
redevelopment district pursuant to MS., Section 469.174, Subd. IO(a)(I) as defmed below:
(a) "Redevelopment district" means a type of tax incrementfinancing district consisting of a project,
or portions of a project, within which the authority finds by resolution that one or more of the
following conditions, reasonably distributed throughout the district, exists:
(1) parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area in the district are occupied by buildings, streets,
utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures and more than 50 percent
of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree
requiring substantial renovation or clearance;
(2) The property consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropriately used, or infrequently
used rail yards, rail storage facilities or excessive or vacated railroad rights-ol-way;
(3) tankfacilities, or property whose immediately previous use wasfor tankfacilities, as defined
in Section 115C, Subd. 15, if the tank facility:
(i) have or had a capacity of more than one million gallons;
(ii) are located adjacent to rail facilities; or
(iii) have been removed, or are unused, underused, inappropriately used or infrequently
used; or
(4) a qualifying disaster area, as defined in Subd. IOb.
(b) For purposes of this subdivision, "structurally substandard" shall mean containing defects in
structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities andfacilities, 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.
City of Prior Lake
Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1
2-2
(c) A building is not structurally substandard ifit is in compliance with the 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. The municipality may find that a building is not disqualified as structurally substandard
under the preceding sentence on the basis of reasonably available evidence, such as the size,
type, and age of the building, the average cost of plumbing, electrical, or structural repairs or
other similar reliable evidence. The municipality may not make such a determination without
an interior inspection of the property, but need not have an independent, expert appraisal
prepared of the cost of repair and rehabilitation of the building. An interior inspection of the
property is not required, if the municipality finds that (1) the municipality or authority is unable
to gain access to the property after using its best efforts to obtain permission from the party that
owns or controls the property; and (2) the evidence otherwise supports a reasonable conclusion
that the building is structurally substandard.
(d) A parcel is deemed to be occupied by a structurally substandard building for purposes of the
finding under paragraph (a) if all of the following conditions are met:
(1) the parcel was occupied by a substandard building within three years of the filing of the
request for certification of the parcel as part of the district with the county auditor;
(2) the substandard building was demolished or removed by the authority or the demolition or
removal was financed by the authority or was done by a developer under a development
agreement with the authority;
(3) the authority found by resolution before the demolition or removal that the parcel was
occupied by a structurally substandard building and that after demolition and clearance the
authority intended to include the parcel within a district; and
(4) upon filing the request for certification of the tax capacity of the parcel as part of a district,
the authority notifies the county auditor that the original tax capacity of the parcel must be
adjusted as provided by ~ 469.177, subdivision 1, paragraph (j).
(e) For purposes of this subdivision, a parcel is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved
or gravel parking lots or other similar structures unless 15 percent of the area of the parcel
contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures.
(j) For districts consisting of two or more noncontiguous areas, each area must qualify as a
redevelopment district under paragraph (a) to be included in the district, and the entire area of
the district must satisfy paragraph (a).
In meeting the statutory criteria the City relies on the following facts and findings:
· The District is a redevelopment district consisting of 1 parcel.
· An inventory shows that parcels consisting of more than 70 percent of the area in the District are
occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures.
· An inspection of the buildings located within the District finds that more than 50 percent of the buildings
are structurally substandard as defmed in the TIF Act. (See Appendix F).
Pursuant to MS., Sections 469.176 Subd. 7, the District does not contain any parcel or part of a parcel that
qualified under the provisions of MS., Sections 273.111 or 273.112 or Chapter 473Hfor taxes payable in
City of Prior Lake
Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1
2-3
any of the five calendar years before the filing of the request for certification of the District.
Subsection 2-7. Duration of the District
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the duration of the District must
be indicated within the TIF Plan. Pursuant to MS., Section 469.176, Subd. 1 b, the duration of the District
will be 25 years after receipt of the first increment by the City (a total of26 years of tax increment). The date
of receipt by the City of the first tax increment is expected to be 2008. Thus, it is estimated that the District,
including any modifications of the TIF Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after
2033, or when the TIF Plan is satisfied. Ifincrement is received in 2007, the term ofthe District will be 2032.
The City reserves the right to decertify the District prior to the legally required date.
Subsection 2-8. Original Tax Capacity, Tax Rate and Estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity
Value/Increment and Notification of Prior Planned Improvements
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and MS., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity
(ONTC) as certified for the District will be based on the market values placed on the property by the assessor
in 2005 for taxes payable 2006.
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.177, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall certify in each year (beginning
in the payment year 2007) the amount by which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of:
1. Change in tax exempt status of property;
2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district;
3. Change due to adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements;
4. Change in the use of the property and classification;
5. Change in state law governing class rates; or
6. Change in previously issued building permits.
In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value of the District declines below the ONTC, no
value will be captured and no tax increment will be payable to the City.
The original local tax rate for the District will be the local tax rate for taxes payable 2006, assuming the
request for certification is made before June 30, 2006. The ONTC and the Original Local Tax Rate for the
District appear in the table below.
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.174 Subd. 4 and MS., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, 2, and 4, the estimated
Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of the District, within Development District No.5, upon completion of
the project, will annually approximate tax increment revenues as shown in the table below. The City requests
100 percent ofthe available increase in tax capacity for repayment of its obligations and current expenditures,
beginning in the tax year payable 2008. The Project Tax Capacity (PTC) listed is an estimate of values when
the project is completed.

Pursuant to MS., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the City shall, after a due and diligent search, accompany its
request for certification to the County Auditor or its notice of the District enlargement pursuant to MS.,
Section 469.175, Subd. 4, with a listing of all properties within the District or area of enlargement for which
building permits have been issued during the eighteen (18) months immediately preceding approval of the
TIF Plan by the municipality pursuanttoMS., Section 469.175, Subd. 3. The County Auditor shall increase
the original net tax capacity of the District by the net tax capacity of improvements for which a building
permit was issued.
The City of Prior Lake has reviewed the area to be included in the District and determined that no
building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding approval ofthe TIF
Plan by the City.
Subsection 2-9. Sources of Revenue/Bonded Indebtedness
Public improvement costs, acquisition, relocation, utilities, parking facilities, streets and sidewalks, and site
preparation costs and other costs outlined in the Uses of Funds will be financed primarily through the annual
collection of tax increments. The City reserves the right to use other sources of revenue legally applicable
to the City and the TIF Plan, including, but not limited to, special assessments, general property taxes, state
aid for road maintenance and construction, proceeds from the sale of land, other contributions from the
developer and investment income, to pay for the estimated public costs.
The City reserves the right to incur bonded indebtedness or other indebtedness as a result of the TIF Plan.
As presently proposed, the project will be financed by a pay-as-you-go note. Additional indebtedness may
be required to finance other authorized activities. The total principal amount of bonded indebtedness,
including a general obligation (GO) TIF bond, or other indebtedness related to the use of tax increment
financing will not exceed $330,000 without a modification to the TIF Plan pursuant to applicable statutory
requirements. It is estimated that $330,000 in bonded indebtedness will be fmanced with tax increment
revenues.
This provision does not obligate the City to incur debt. The City will issue bonds or incur other debt only
upon the determination that such action is in the best interest of the City. The City may also finance the ac-
tivities to be undertaken pursuant to the TIF Plan through loans from funds of the City or to reimburse the
developer on a "pay-as-you-go" basis for eligible costs paid for by a developer.
The estimated sources of funds for the District are contained in the table below.

Subsection 2-10. Uses of Funds
Currently under consideration for the District is a proposal to facilitate the demolition and site clean-up of
an existing home and construction of a dance studio. The City has determined that it will be necessary to
provide assistance to the project for certain costs. The City has studied the feasibility ofthe development or
redevelopment of property in and around the District. To facilitate the establishment and development or
redevelopment of the District, this TIF Plan authorizes the use of tax increment fmancing to pay for the cost
of certain eligible expenses. The estimate of public costs and uses of funds associated with the District is
outlined in the following table.

PROJECT COSTS TOTAL
The above budget is organized according to the Office of State Auditor (OSA) reporting forms.
It is estimated that the cost of improvements, including administrative expenses and financing which will be
paid or financed with tax increments, will equal $330,000, which includes all authorized obligations, as is
presented in the budget above.
Estimated costs associated with the District are subject to change among categories without a modification
to this TIF Plan. The cost of all activities to be considered for tax increment financing will not exceed,
without formal modification, the budget above pursuant to the applicable statutory requirements. Pursuant
to MS., Section 469.1763, Subd. 2, no more than 25 percent of the tax increment paid by property within the
District will be spent on activities related to development or redevelopment outside of the District but within
the boundaries of Development District No.5, (including administrative costs, which are considered to be
spent outside of the District) subject to the limitations as described in this TIF Plan.
Subsection 2-11. Fiscal Disparities Election
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, the City may elect one of two methods to calculate fiscal
disparities. If the calculations pursuant to MS., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b, (within the District) are
followed, the following method of computation shall apply:
(1) The original net tax capacity shall be determined before the application of the fiscal disparity
provisions of Chapter 276A or 473F. The current net tax capacity shall exclude any fiscal
disparity commercial-industrial net tax capacity increase between the original year and the
City of Prior Lake
Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District NO.5-I
2-6
current year multiplied by the fiscal disparity ratio determined pursuant to MS., Section
276A.06, subdivision 7 or MS., Section 473F.08, subdivision 6. Where the original net tax
capacity is equal to or greater than the current net tax capacity, there is no captured tax capacity
and no tax increment determination. Where the original tax capacity is less than the current tax
capacity, the difference between the original net tax capacity and the current net tax capacity
is the captured net tax capacity. This amount less any portion thereofwhich the authority has
designated, in its tax increment financing plan, to share with the local taxing districts is the
retained captured net tax capacity of the authority.
(2) The county auditor shall exclude the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority from the
net tax capacity of the local taxing districts in determining local taxing district tax rates. The
local tax rates so determined are to be extended against the retained captured net tax capacity
of the authority as well as the net tax capacity of the local taxing districts. The tax generated by
the extension of the less of (A) the local taxing district tax rates or (B) the original local tax rate
to the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority is the tax increment of the authority.
The City will choose to calculate fiscal disparities by clause b.
According to MS., Section 469.177, Subd. 3:
(c) The method of computation of tax increment applied to a district pursuant to paragraph (a) or
(b) shall remain the same for the duration of the district, except that the governing body may
elect to change its election from the method of computation in paragraph (a) to the method in
paragraph (b).
Subsection 2-12. Business Subsidies
Pursuant to MS. Sections 116J.993, Subd. 3, the following forms offmancial assistance are not considered
a business subsidy:
(1) A business subsidy ofless than $25,000;
(2) Assistance that is generally available to all businesses or to a general class of similar businesses, such
as a line of business, size, location, or similar general criteria;
(3) Public improvements to buildings or lands owned by the state or local government that serve a public
purpose and do not principally benefit a single business or defined group of businesses at the time
the improvements are made;
(4) Redevelopment property polluted by contaminants as defined in MS., Section 116J.552, Subd. 3;
(5) Assistance provided for the sole purpose of renovating old or decaying building stock or bringing

assistance is equal to or less than 50% of the total cost;
(6) Assistance to provide job readiness and training services if the sole purpose of the assistance is to
provide those services;
(7) Assistance for housing;
(8) Assistance for pollution control or abatement, including assistance for a tax increment financing
hazardous substance subdistrict as defined under MS., Section 469.174, Subd. 23;
(9) Assistance for energy conservation;
(10) Tax reductions resulting from conformity with federal tax law;
(11) Workers' compensation and unemployment compensation;
(12) Benefits derived from regulation;
(13) Indirect benefits derived from assistance to educational institutions;

The City will comply with MS., Section 116J.993 to 116J.995 to the extent the tax increment assistance
under this TIF Plan does not fall under any of the above exemptions.
Subsection 2-13. County Road Costs
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.175, Subd. la, the county board may require the City to pay for all or part of
the cost of county road improvements if the proposed development to be assisted by tax increment will, in
the judgement of the county, substantially increase the use of county roads requiring construction of road
improvements or other road costs and if the road improvements are not scheduled within the next five years
under a capital improvement plan or within five years under another county plan.
If the county elects to use increments to improve county roads, it must notify the City within forty-five days
of receipt of this TIF Plan. The City is aware that the county could claim that tax increment should be used
for county roads, even after the public hearing.
Subsection 2-14. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes that the redevelopment contemplated by the TIF
Plan would occur without the creation of the District. However, the City has determined that such
development or redevelopment would not occur "but for" tax increment fmancing and that, therefore, the
fiscal impact on other taxing jurisdictions is $0. The estimated fiscal impact of the District would be as
follows if the "but for" test was not met:

The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax rate
used for calculations is the estimated 2005IPay 2006 rate. The total net capacity for the entities listed above
are based on estimated Pay 2006 figures. The District will be certified under the actual2005IPay 2006 rates,
which were unavailable at the time this TIF Plan was prepared.
Pursuant to MS. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b):
1. It is estimated that the total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the District
is $330,000
2. The probable impact of the District on police protection is not expected to be significant.
The probable impact ofthe District on fire protection is not expected to be significant according to
the Fire Chief. Typically new buildings generate few calls, if any, and are of superior construction.
The existing building, which will be eliminated by the new development, has public safety concerns
that include issues such as access, defects in structural elements, deficiencies in essential facilities,
such as fire protection and adequate egress. The levels of deficiencies in the existing building j ustify
substantial renovation or clearance. Thus, the impact of the District's new building on fire protection
will not be increased.
The impact ofthe District on public infrastructure is expected to be minimal. According to the public
works department, the current infrastructure for sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water will be able
to handle the additional volume generated from the proposed development. Based on the
development plans, additional costs, including street maintenance, sweeping, plowing, lighting and
sidewalks are minimal because no new roads are being constructed. The development in the District
is expected to contribute an estimated $4,900 in sanitary sewer (SAC) and water (WAC) connection
fees.

The probable impact of borrowing costs is expected to be minimal. It is not anticipated that there will
be any general obligation debt issued in relation to this project, therefore there will be no impact on
the City's ability to issue future debt or on the City's debt limit.
3. It is estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable
to school district levies, assuming the school district's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing
jurisdictions remained the same is $91,520;
4. It is estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable
to county levies, assuming the county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions
remained the same is $90,766;
5. No requests for additional infonnation from the county or school district regarding the proposed
development for the District were received.
Subsection 2-15. Supporting Documentation
Pursuant to MS. Section 469.175 Subd 1, clause 7 the TIF Plan must contain identification and description
of studies and analyses used to make the detennination set forth in MS. Section 469.175 Subd 3, clause (b)(2)
and the findings are required in the resolution approving the TIF district. Following is a list of reports and
studies on file at the City that support the Authority's findings:

Financing District as a Redevelopment District (by LHB on December 16, 2005)
Subsection 2-16.
Definition of Tax Increment Revenues
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.174, Subd. 25, tax increment revenues derived from a tax increment financing
district include all of the following potential revenue sources:
1. Taxes paid by the captured net tax capacity, but excluding any excess taxes, as computed
under MS., Section 469.177;
2. The proceeds from the sale or lease of property, tangible or intangible, to the extent the
property was purchased by the Authority with tax increments;
3. Principal and interest received on loans or other advances made by the Authority with tax
increments;

Pursuantto MS. Section 469.175 Subd. 4(f), the geographic area of the District may be reduced, but shall not
be enlarged after five years following the date of certification of the original net tax capacity by the county
auditor. If a redevelopment district is enlarged, the reasons and supporting facts for the determination that
the addition to the district meets the criteria of MS., Section 469.174, Subd. 10, paragraph (a), clauses (1) to
(5), must be documented in writing and retained. The requirements of this paragraph do not apply if (1) the
only modification is elimination of parcel(s) from Development District No.5 or the District and (2) (A) the
current net tax capacity ofthe parcel(s) eliminated from the District equals or exceeds the net tax capacity
of those parcel(s) in the District's original net tax capacity or (B) the City agrees that, notwithstanding MS.,
Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the original net tax capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net tax
capacity of the parcel(s) eliminated from the District.
The City must notify the County Auditor of any modification that reduces or enlarges the geographic area
of Development District No. 5 or the District. Modifications to the District in the form of a budget
modification or an expansion of the boundaries will be recorded in the TIF Plan.
Subsection 2-18. Administrative Expenses
In accordance with MS., Section 469.174, Subd. 14, administrative expenses means all expenditures of the
City, other than:
1. Amounts paid for the purchase of land;

or the total tax increments, as defined by MS., Section 469.174, Subd. 25, clause (1), from the District,
whichever is less.
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.176, Subd. 4h, tax increments may be used to pay for the County's actual
administrative expenses incurred in connection with the District. The county may require payment of those
expenses by February 15 ofthe year following the year the expenses were incurred.
Pursuant to MS., Section 469. 177, Subd. 11, the County Treasurer shall deduct an amount (currently .36
percent) of any increment distributed to the City and the County Treasurer shall pay the amount deducted to
the State Treasurer for deposit in the state general fund to be appropriated to the State Auditor for the cost
of financial reporting of tax increment financing information and the cost of examining and auditing
authorities' use of tax increment financing. This amount may be adjusted annually by the Commissioner of
Revenue.
Subsection 2-19. Limitation of Increment
The tax increment pledged to the payment of bonds and interest thereon may be discharged and the District
may be terminated if sufficient funds have been irrevocably deposited in the debt service fund or other escrow
account held in trust for all outstanding bonds to provide for the payment of the bonds at maturity or
redemption date.
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.176, Subd. 6:
if, after four years from the date of certification of the original net tax capacity of the tax increment
financing district pursuant to MS., Section 469.177, no demolition, rehabilitation or renovation of
property or other site preparation, including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to a parcel
but not installation of utility service including sewer or water systems, has been commenced on a
parcel located within a tax increment financing district by the authority or by the owner of the parcel
in accordance with the tax incrementfinancingplan, no additional tax increment may be takenfrom
that parcel and the original net tax capacity of that parcel shall be excluded from the original net
tax capacity of the tax increment financing district. If the authority or the owner of the parcel
subsequently commences demolition, rehabilitation or renovation or other site preparation on that
parcel including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to that parcel, in accordance with the
tax increment financing plan, the authority shall certify to the county auditor that the activity has
commenced and the county auditor shall certify the net tax capacity thereof as most recently certified
by the commissioner of revenue and add it to the original net tax capacity of the tax increment
financing district. The county auditor must enforce the provisions of this subdivision. The authority
must submit to the county auditor evidence that the required activity has taken place for each parcel
in the district. The evidence for a parcel must be submitted by February 1 of the fifth year following
the year in which the parcel was certified as included in the district. For purposes of this subdivision,
qualified improvements of a street are limited to (1) construction or opening of a new street, (2)
relocation of a street, and (3) substantial reconstruction or rebuilding of an existing street.
The City or a property owner must improve parcels within the District by approximately March, 2010 and
report such actions to the County Auditor.
Subsection 2-20. Use of Tax Increment
The City hereby determines that it will use 100 percent of the captured net tax capacity of taxable property

purposes prohibited by MS., Section 469.176, Subd. 4.
Tax increments generated in the District will be paid by Scott County to the City for the Tax Increment Fund
of said District. The City will pay to the developer(s) annually an amount not to exceed an amount as
specified in a developer's agreement to reimburse the costs of land acquisition, public improvements,
demolition and relocation, site preparation, and administration. Remaining increment funds will be used for
City administration (up to 10 percent) and the costs of public improvement activities outside the District.
Subsection 2-21. Excess Increments '
Excess increments, as defined inMS., Section 469.176, Subd. 2, shall be used only to do one or more of the
following:
1. Prepay any outstanding bonds;
2. Discharge the pledge of tax increment for any outstanding bonds;
3. Pay into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of any outstanding bonds; or
4. Return the excess to the County Auditor for redistribution to the respective taxing jurisdictions in
proportion to their local tax rates.

of the year. In addition, the City may, subject to the limitations set forth herein, choose to modify the TIF
Plan in order to fmance additional public costs in Development District No.5 or the District.
Subsection 2-22. Requirements for Agreements with the Developer
The City will review any proposal for private development to determine its conformance with the
Development Program and with applicable municipal ordinances and codes. To facilitate this effort, the
following documents may be requested for review and approval: site plan, construction, mechanical, and
electrical system drawings, landscaping plan, grading and storm drainage plan, signage system plan, and any
other drawings or narrative deemed necessary by the City to demonstrate the conformance of the development
with City plans and ordinances. The City may also use the Agreements to address other issues related to the
development.
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.176, Subd. 5, no more than 25 percent, by acreage, of the property to be
acquired in the District as set forth in the TIF Plan shall at any time be owned by the City as a result of

acquisition with the proceeds of bonds issued pursuant to MS., Section 469.178 to which tax increments from
property acquired is pledged, unless prior to acquisition in excess of 25 percent of the acreage, the City
concluded an agreement for the development or redevelopment of the property acquired and which provides
recourse for the City should the development or redevelopment not be completed.
Subsection 2-23. Assessment Agreements
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.177, Subd. 8, the City may enter into a written assessment agreement in
recordable fonn with the developer of property within the District which establishes a minimum market value
of the land and completed improvements for the duration of the District. The assessment agreement shall be
presented to the County Assessor who shall review the plans and specifications for the improvements to be
constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land upon which the improvements are to be
constructed and, so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears, in the
judgment of the assessor, to be a reasonable estimate, the County Assessor shall also certify the minimum
market value agreement.
Subsection 2-24. Administration of the District
Administration of the District will be handled by the City Clerk.
Subsection 2-25. Annual Disclosure Requirements
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.175, Subd. 5, 6, and 6b the City must undertake fmancial reporting for all tax
increment financing districts to the Office of the State Auditor, County Board, County Auditor and School
Board on or before August 1 of each year. MS., Section 469.175, Subd. 5 also provides that an annual
statement shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City on or before August 15.
If the City fails to make a disclosure or submit a report containing the infonnation required by MS., Section
469.175 Subd. 5 and Subd. 6, the OSA will direct the County Auditor to withhold the distribution of tax
increment from the District.
Subsection 2-26. Reasonable Expectations
As required by the TIF Act, in establishing the District, the detennination has been made that the anticipated
development would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected
to occur without the use of tax increment fmancing would be less than the increase in the market value
estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax
increments for the maximum duration of the District pennitted by the TIF Plan. In making said
detennination, reliance has been placed upon written representation made by the developer to such effects
and upon City staff awareness of the feasibility of developing the project site. A comparative analysis of
estimated market values both with and without establishment of the District and the use of tax increments has
been perfonned as described above. Such analysis is included with the cashflow in Appendix D, and
indicates that the increase in estimated market value of the proposed development (less the indicated
subtractions) exceeds the estimated market value of the site absent the establishment of the District and the
use of tax increments.
Subsection 2-27. Other Limitations on the Use of Tax Increment
1. General Limitations. All revenue derived from tax increment shall be used in accordance with the TIF
City of Prior Lake
Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1
2-14

Plan. The revenues shall be used To finance, or otherwise pay the capital and administration costs of
Development District No. 5 pursuant to the MS., Sections 469.124 to 469.134. Tax increments may not
be used to circumvent existing levy limit law. No tax increment may be used for the acquisition,
construction, renovation, operation, or maintenance of a building to be used primarily and regularly for
conducting the business of a municipality, county, school district, or any other local unit of government
or the state or federal government. This provision does not prohibit the use of revenues derived from tax
increments for the construction or renovation of a parking structure.
2. Pooling Limitations. At least 75 percent of tax increments from the District must be expended on
activities in the District or to pay bonds, to the extent that the proceeds of the bonds were used to finance
activities within said district or to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds. Not
more than 25 percent of said tax increments may be expended, through a development fund or otherwise,

following certification of the District, 75 percent of said tax increments that remain after expenditures
pennitted under said five year rule must be used only to pay previously committed expenditures or credit
enhanced bonds as more fully set forth in MS., Section 469.1763, Subd. 5.

PART 1- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PURPOSE OF EVALUATION
LHB was hired by the City of Prior Lake to inspect and evaluate the properties within a Tax
Increment Financing Redevelopment District ("TIP District") proposed to be established by the
city. The proposed TIF District is located at 4616 Colorado Street in the City of Prior Lake, in a
general area bounded by Colorado Street Southeast on the south and Eagle Creek Avenue
Southeast on the north and adjacent private properties on the east and west sides (Diagram 1).
The purpose of LHB' s work was to determine whether the proposed district meets the statutory
requirements for coverage, and whether the single residential building on a single parcel, located
within the proposed TIF District, meets the qualifications required for a Redevelopment District.
Diagram I - Proposed TIF District
Page 3
SCOPE OF WORK
The proposed district consists of one (1) parcel with one residential structure.
The building in the proposed district received an on-site interior and exterior inspection on
November 10, 2005. The Building code and Condition Deficiency report for the building
inspection by LHB are located in Appendix B.
CONCLUSION
After inspecting and evaluating the property within the proposed TIF District and applying
current statutory criteria for a Redevelopment District under Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174, Subdivision 10, it is our professional opinion that the proposed TIP District qualifies as
a Redevelopment District.
The remainder of this report describes our process and findings in detail.
PART 2 - MINNESOTA STATUTE 469.174. SUBDIVISION 10 REOUIREMENTS
The properties were inspected in accordance with the following requirements under Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), which states:
Interior Inspection
"The municipality may not make such determination [that the building IS structurally
substandard] without an interior inspection of the property..."
Exterior Inspection and Other Means
"An interior inspection of the property is not required, if the municipality finds that (1) the
municipality or authority is unable to gain access to the property after using its best efforts to
obtain permission from the party that owns or controls the property; and (2) the evidence
otherwise supports a reasonable conclusion that the building is structurally substandard."
Documentation
"Written documentation of the fmdings and reasons why an interior inspection was not
conducted must be made and retained under section 469.175, subdivision 3(1)."
Qualification Requirements
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10 (a) (1) requires two tests for occupied
parcels:
A. Coverage Test
... "parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings,
streets, utilities, or paved or gravel parking lots"
The coverage required by the parcel to be considered occupied is defined under
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision lOre), which states: "For purposes of
this subdivision, a parcel is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, or paved or gravel
Page 4
parking lots unless 15 percent of the area of the parcel contains building, streets, utilities,
or paved or gravel parking lots."
B. Condition of Buildings Test
. . . "and more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally
substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance;"
I. Structurally substandard is defined under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
Subdivision 10(b), which states: "For purposes of this subdivision, 'structurally
substandard' shall mean containing 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."
Definition of Substantial Renovation
Because "Substantial renovation" can mean different things to different people, LHB
has attempted to clarify exactly what we consider to be "substantial renovation" as it
relates to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(a) (1).
a. First we researched national standards as to how much building owners should
budget for annual maintenance and repair on their buildings as a percentage of
replacement cost of the building.
1. According to the University of California "Facilities Renewal Budget
Model" report of 1999, building owners should budget between two and
three percent of current replacement value of their buildings for maintenance
and repair work. This does not include routine janitorial work and routine
items such as changing light bulbs and filters.
2. According to the Building Research Board of the National Research Council,
one and one-half to three percent of a building's replacement value should be
budgeted for maintenance and repair.
b. Based on this information, LHB utilized two and one-half percent as the desired
amount of maintenance and repair that should be budgeted annually to keep a
building in good working condition. We recognize through experience that only
a small percentage of sophisticated building owners actually budget for and
spend this amount of money every year on maintenance and repair. This is
because most business owners are driven by other budgetary issues and tend to
neglect the building maintenance and repair line items in their annual budgets.
c. By establishing how much a building owner should be budgeting per year for
maintenance and repairs, LHB is of the opinion that we could more easily
establish an amount that would be considered "substantial" in comparison. If an
owner is budgeting 2.5 percent of the building's replacement cost annually, most
Page 5
business owners or home owners would have to take out a loan to cover the cost
of a substantial building improvement. Assuming they had a fixed level of
income to work with, they would have to keep the loan payment at a level very
near the original 2.5 percent they should have been budgeting each year. In
addition, they still would have to budget for the original 2.5 percent on top of the
loan. In most cases, the mortgage terms would have to extend out to a point
beyond the life expectancy of the building they were trying to improve, as most
buildings built in the past fifty years are not designed to last beyond 40 years.
d. Based on the calculations described above, we have defined substantial
renovation for purposes of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision
10(a)(1), as renovation with costs exceeding 20% of the building's replacement
value.
2. Buildings are not eligible to be considered structurally substandard unless they meet
certain additional criteria, as set forth in Subdivision lO(c) which states:
"A building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the 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. The municipality may find that a building is not
disqualified as structurally substandard under the preceding sentence on the basis of
reasonably available evidence, such as the size, type, and age of the building, the
average cost of plumbing, electrical, or structural repairs, or other similar reliable
evidence."
"Items of evidence that support such a conclusion [that the building is not
disqualified] include recent fire or police inspections, on-site property appraisals or
housing inspections, exterior evidence of deterioration, or other similar reliable
evidence."
PART3-PROCEDURESFOLLOWED
A. LHB was able to schedule an interior and exterior inspection of the building in the
proposed TIF District. Inspections were conducted on November 10,2005.
PART 4 - FINDINGS
A. Coverage Test
1. The total square foot area of each parcel in the proposed TIF District was obtained
from City records, GIS mapping and site verification.
2. The total square foot area of buildings and site improvements on the parcels in the
proposed TIF District was obtained from City records, GIS mapping and site
verification.
Page 6
3. The percentage of coverage for each parcel in the proposed TIF District was
computed to determine if the 15 percent minimum requirement was met. The total
square footage of parcels meeting the 15 percent requirement was divided into the
total square footage of the entire district to determine if the 70 percent requirement
was met.
Finding:
The district met the coverage test under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
Subdivision JO(e). The district consists of only one parcel that is occupied by
buildings, streets, utilities or paved drives or parking lots in excess of 15% of the
parcel's area (Diagram 2). Since this parcel is the only parcel in the proposed district
the coverage requirement is met by 100 percent of the parcels, this exceeds the 70
percent requirement for the proposed TIF District under Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174, Subdivision (a) (1).
Diagram 2 - Coverage Diagram
Page 7
B. Condition of Building Test
1. Replacement Cost
The first step in evaluating a building to determine if it is substandard to a degree
requiring substantial renovation or clearance is to determine its replacement cost.
This is the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on
site. Replacement costs were researched using R.S. Means Cost Works square foot
models for 2004.
A replacement cost was calculated by first establishing building use (office, retail,
residential, etc.), building construction type (wood, concrete, masonry, etc.), and
building size to obtain the appropriate median replacement cost, which factors in the
costs of construction in Prior Lake, Minnesota.
Replacement cost includes labor, materials, and the contractor's overhead and profit.
Replacement costs do not include architectural fees, legal fees or other "soft" costs
not directly related to construction activities. Replacement cost for the building is
tabulated in Appendix A.
2. Code Deficiencies
The next step in evaluating a building is to determine what code deficiencies exist
with respect to such building. Code deficiencies are those conditions for a building
which are not in compliance with current building codes applicable to new buildings
in the State of Minnesota.
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), specifically provides that a
building cannot be considered structurally substandard if its code deficiencies are not
at least 15 percent of the replacement cost of the building. As a result, it was
necessary to determine the extent of code deficiencies for each building in the
proposed TIF District.
The evaluation was made by reviewing all available information with respect to such
buildings contained in City Building Inspection records and making interior and
exterior inspections of the buildings. LHB utilizes the 2003 Minnesota State Building
Code as the official code for our evaluations. The Minnesota State Building Code is
actually a series of provisional codes written specifically for Minnesota only
requirements, adoption of several international codes, and amendments to the adopted
international codes.
We chose not to count energy code deficiencies toward the thresholds required by
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision W(b) and 10(c), due to concerns
expressed by the State of Minnesota Court of Appeals in the Walser Auto Sales, Inc.
vs. City of Richfield case filed November 13, 2001.
After identifying the code deficiencies in each building, we used R.S. Means Cost
Works 2004: Unit and Assembly Costs to determine the cost of correcting the
identified deficiencies. We were than able to compare the correction costs with the
Page 8
replacement cost of each building to determine if the costs for correcting code
deficiencies meet the required 15 percent threshold.
Finding:
The building in the proposed TIF District contained code deficiencies exceeding the
15 percent threshold required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision
10(c). A complete Building Code and Condition Deficiency report for the building in
the proposed TIF District can be found in Appendix B of this report.
3. System Condition Deficiencies
System condition deficiencies are a measurement of defects or substantial
deterioration in site elements, structure, exterior envelope, mechanical and electrical
components, fire protection and emergency systems, interior partitions, ceilings,
floors and doors.
The evaluation was made by reviewing all available information contained in City
records, and making interior and exterior inspections of the buildings.
LHB only identified system condition deficiencies that were visible upon our
inspection of the building or contained in City records. We did not consider the
amount of "service life" used up for a particular component unless it was an obvious
part of that component's deficiencies.
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), provides for the minimum
threshold of code deficiencies that must be met in order to consider a building
substandard. If a building meets the minimum code deficiency threshold under
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), then in order for such
building to be "structurally substandard" under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
Subdivision JO(b), the building's defects or deficiencies should be of sufficient total
significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance." Based on this definition,
LHB re-evaluated each of the buildings that met the code deficiency threshold under
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), to determine if the total
deficiencies warranted "substantial renovation or clearance" based on the criteria we
outlined above.
Finding:
In our professional opinion, the building in the proposed TIF District is structurally
substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance, because of
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.
Page 9
C. Distribution of substandard structures
Much of this report has focused on the condition of individual buildings as they relate
to requirements identified by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10. It
is also important to look at the distribution of substandard buildings throughout the
geographic area of the proposed TIF District.
Finding:
The substandard buildings are reasonably distributed throughout the geographic area
of the proposed TIF District.

The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan (TIF
Plan) for Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1 (District), as required pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.175, Subdivision 3 are as follows:
1. Finding that Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1 is a redevelopment district as defined in MS.,
Section 469.174, Subd. 10.
The District consists of 1 parcel, with plans to redevelop the area for commercial purposes. At least 70
percent of the area of the parcels in the District are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or
gravel parking lots or other similar structures and more than 50 percent of the buildings in the District,
not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or
clearance. (See Appendix F of the TIF Plan.)
2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not reasonably be
expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeablefuture and that the
increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax
increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the
proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the
maximum duration of Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1 permitted by the TIF Plan.
The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely
through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future: This finding is supported by the fact
that the redevelopment proposed in the TIF Plan meets the City's objectives for redevelopment. Due to
the high cost of redevelopment on the parcels currently occupied by substandard buildings, the limited
amount of commercial property for expansion adjacent to the existing project, the incompatible land uses
at close proximity, and the cost of financing the proposed improvements, this project is feasible only
through assistance, in part, from tax increment financing. The total amount of assistance to the project
is $135,000. This amount will be used to assist with redevelopment cost and help the project become
more financially feasible. The assistance is being used to assist with the purchase of the dilapidated
building, demolition of the building (estimated to be $24,000) and other redevelopment costs.
APPENDIX
G-l
The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax
increment jinancingwould be less than the increase in market value estimated to result from the proposed
development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax incrementsfor the maximum duration
of the District permitted by the TIF Plan: This finding is justified on the grounds that the cost of site and
public improvements and utilities add to the total redevelopment cost. Historically, site and public
improvements costs in this area have made redevelopment infeasible without tax increment assistance.
Therefore, the City reasonably determines that no other redevelopment of similar scope is anticipated on
this site without substantially similar assistance being provided to the development.
A comparative analysis of estimated market values both with and without establishment of the District
and the use of tax increments has been performed as described above. If all development which is
proposed to be assisted with tax increment were to occur in the District, the total increase in market value
would be up to $863,500. The present value of tax increments from the District is estimated to be
$134,366. It is the Council's finding that no development with a market value of greater than $729,134
would occur without tax increment assistance in this district within 25 years. This finding is based upon
evidence from general past experience with the high cost of acquisition and demolition in the general area
of the District. (See Cashflow in Appendix D of the TIF Plan.)
3. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1 conforms
to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The Planning Commission reviewed the TIF Plan and found that the TIF Plan conforms to the general
development plan of the City.
4. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Planfor Tax Increment Financing District No. 5-1 will afford
maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or
redevelopment of Development District No. 5 by private enterprise.
The project to be assisted by the TIF District will result in increased employment in the City and the
State of Minnesota, the renovation of substandard properties, increased tax base of the State and add a
high quality development to the City.
