Inc. related to public costs for the development of a 48-unit residential senior cooperative and a 120-unit
assisted living facility within the City. It has been stated, in writing, by Anchobaypro, Inc. to the City that
the project will not be viable without public participation.
The City, through this document, will be establishing Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-1 and also

Article II – Statement of Public Purpose and Authority
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 3
Section 2.01 Statement of Need and Public Purpose
The City Council of the City has determined that there is a need for the City to take certain actions
designed to encourage, ensure and facilitate development and redevelopment by the private sector of
underutilized, and unused land located within the corporate limits of the City in order to provide
additional employment opportunities for residents of the City and the surrounding area; to improve the tax
base of the City, the County and Independent School District No. 834 (the “school district”), thereby
enabling them to better utilize existing public facilities and provide needed public services; and to
improve the general economy of the City, the County and the State. Specifically, the City Council has
determined that the property within the Development District is either underutilized or unused due to a
variety of factors, including inadequate public improvements to serve the property; which has resulted in
a lack of private investment; that, as a result, the property is not providing adequate employment
opportunities, and is not contributing to the tax base and general economy of the City, the School District,
the County and the State to its full potential; and, therefore, that it is necessary for the City to exercise its
Authority under the Development District Act and the Tax Increment Financing Act to develop,
implement and finance a program designed to encourage, ensure and facilitate the commercial
development and redevelopment of the property located in the Development District, to further and
accomplish the public purposes specified in this paragraph.
The development proposed for the Development District would not occur solely through private
investment in the foreseeable future; the Tax Increment Financing Plan will afford maximum opportunity,
consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the
property to be located in the Development District by private enterprise.
The welfare of the City, the County and the State of Minnesota requires active promotion, attraction,
encouragement and development of economically sound industry and commerce by the City.
Section 2.02 Statutory Authorization
The Development District Act authorizes the City, upon certain public purpose findings by the City
Council, to establish and designate development districts within the City and to establish, develop and
administer development programs therefor to meet the needs and accomplish the public purposes
specified in Section 2.01. In accordance with the purposes set forth in Section 469.124 of the
Development District Act, the City Council has established the Development District comprising the area
described on the attached Exhibit I, IA, and IB and has adopted this Development Program therefor.
The TIF Act authorizes the City, upon certain findings by the City Council, to establish and designate tax
increment financing districts within the Development District and to adopt and implement a tax increment
financing plan to accomplish the Development Program established for the Development District.
In accordance with the Tax Increment Financing Act, the City has established Tax Increment Financing
District No. 1-1 in the Development District as a renewal and renovation district described in Section
469.174 subdivision 10a, and has adopted therefor the Tax Increment Financing Plan set forth in Article
IV hereof, which provides for the use of tax increment financing to finance the costs of qualified public
activities and improvements in the Development District, as specified in the Development Program and
the Tax Increment Financing Plan.
Article III – Development Program
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Section 3.01 Statement of Objectives
The establishment of the Development District in the City pursuant to the Development District Act, is
necessary and in the best interests of the City and its residents and is necessary to give the City the ability
to meet certain public purpose objectives that would not be obtainable in the foreseeable future without
intervention by the City in the normal development process.
The City intends, to the extent permitted by law, to accomplish the following objectives through the
implementation of the Development Program:
(1) Provide for the acquisition of land and construction and financing of the Site
Improvements in the Development District which are necessary for the orderly and
beneficial development of the Development District and adjacent areas of the City.
(2) Promote and secure the prompt and unified development of certain property in the
Development District, such property is not now in productive use or in its highest and
best use, with a minimum adverse impact on the environment, and thereby promote and
secure the desirable development of other land in the City.
(3) Promote and secure additional employment opportunities within the Development
District and the City for residents of the City and the surrounding area, thereby improving
living standards and reducing unemployment and the loss of skilled and unskilled labor
and other human resources in the City.
(4) Secure the increase of assessed values of property subject to taxation by the City, the
County, the Independent School District No. 834, the County, and other taxing
jurisdictions in order to better enable such entities to pay for governmental services and
programs that they are required to provide.
(5) Promote the concentration of new unified development consisting of desirable industrial
and other appropriate development in the Development District so as to maintain the area
in a manner compatible with its accessibility and prominence in the City.
(6) Encourage the expansion and improvement of local business, economic activity and
development, whenever possible.
(7) Create a desirable and unique character within the Development District through quality
land use alternatives and design quality in new buildings.
(8) Encourage and provide assistance for residential development, including single and
multifamily housing accommodations for low and moderate income families.
Section 3.02 Boundaries of the Development District
The area within the Development District is described in the attached Exhibit I.
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 4

pursuant to the Development District Act, the Tax Increment Financing Act and other applicable state
laws. In doing so the City anticipates that the following may, but are not required, to be undertaken by
the City:
(1) The making of studies, planning and other formal and informal activities relating to the
Development Program.
(2) The implementation and administration of the Development Program.
(3) The rezoning of land within the Development District.
(4) The acquisition of property, or interests in property, by purchase or condemnation, when

(8) The issuance of tax increment bonds to finance the Public Costs of the Development
Program, and the use of tax increments, or other funds available to the City, to pay or
finance the Public Costs of the Development Program incurred or to be incurred by it
pursuant to the Development Agreement.
(9) The use of tax increments to pay debt service on tax increment bonds or otherwise pay or
reimburse with interest the Public Costs of the Development Program.
Section 3.04 Payment of Public Costs
It is anticipated that the Public Costs of the Development District will be paid primarily from proceeds of
tax increment bonds or from tax increments. The City reserves the right to use other sources of revenue
including, but not limited to, special assessments and user charges, which the City may apply to pay a
portion of the Public Costs. Section 3.05 Environmental Controls; Land Use Regulations
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.
Section 3.06 Park and Open Space to be Created
Park and open space created within the Development District will be done so in accordance with the
zoning and platting ordinances of the City.
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 5
Article III – Development Program
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 6
Section 3.07 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 Council 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.
Section 3.08 Administration and Maintenance
Maintenance and operation of the Development District will be the responsibility of the City
Administrator who shall serve as administrator of the Development District. Each year the administrator
will submit to the City Council the maintenance and operating budget for the following year.
The administrator will administer the Development District pursuant to the provisions of Section 469.131
of the Development District Act; provided, however, that such powers may only be exercised at the
direction of the City Council. No action taken by the administrator pursuant to the above-mentioned
powers shall be effective without authorization by the City Council.
Section 3.09 Relocation
Any person or business that is displaced as a result of the Development Program will be relocated in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 117.50 to 117.56. The City accepts its responsibility for
providing such relocation assistance pursuant to Section 469.133 of the Development District Act.
Section 3.10 Amendments
The City reserves the right to alter and amend the Development Program, and the Tax Increment
Financing Plans, subject to the provisions of state law regulating such action. The City specifically
reserves the right to enlarge or reduce the size of the Development District and the Tax Increment
Financing District, the Development Program and the Public Costs of the Development Program and the
amount of Tax Increment Bonds to be issued to finance such costs by following the procedures specified
in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 4.
Section 3.11 Estimates of Public Costs and Budget
The eligible costs to be reimbursed by the City, in carrying out the Development Program, are described
in Exhibit II of the Tax Increment Financing Plan.

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN
Section 4.01 Statement of Need and Public Purpose
See Section 2.01 of the Statement of Public Purpose and Authority.
Section 4.02 Statutory Authorization
See Section 2.02 of the Statement of Public Purpose and Authority.
Section 4.03 Statement of Objectives
See Section 3.01 of the Development Program for the Development District.
Section 4.04 Renewal and Renovation District Designation
Renewal and Renovation districts are a type of tax increment financing district consisting of a project, or
portions of a project, within which the authority finds by resolution that:
(1) parcels comprising at least 70% of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets,
utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other improvements, and more than 20% of the buildings
(not including outbuildings) are structurally substandard, and 30 percent of the other buildings
require substantial renovation or clearance to remove existing conditions such as:
inadequate street layout, incompatible uses or land use relationships, overcrowding of
buildings on the land, excessive dwelling unit density, obsolete buildings not suitable for
improvement or conversion, or other identified hazards to the health, safety, and general
well-being of the community; A parcel is deemed "occupied" if at least 15% of the area of the
parcel contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar
structures; and
(2) the conditions described in clause (1) are reasonably distributed throughout the
geographic area of the district.
For districts consisting of two or more noncontiguous areas, each area must individually qualify under the
provisions listed above, as well as the entire area must also qualify as a whole.
The TIF District qualifies as a renewal and renovation district in that it meets all of the criteria listed in
(1) and (2) above. The supporting facts and documentation for this determination will be retained by the
City for the life of the TIF District and are available to the public upon request.
"Structurally substandard" is defined as buildings 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. A building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the
building code applicable to a new building, or could be modified to satisfy the existing code at a cost of
less than 15% of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on the site.
Article IV – Tax Increment Financing Plan
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 8
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. Items of evidence that support such a conclusion include recent fire or
police inspections, on-site property tax appraisals or housing inspections, exterior evidence of
deterioration, or other similar reliable evidence. Written documentation of the findings and
reasons why an interior inspection was not conducted must be made and retained by the City.
Failure of a building to be disqualified under the provisions of this paragraph is a necessary, but
not a sufficient, condition to determining that the building is substandard.
A parcel is deemed to be occupied by a structurally substandard building if the following conditions are
met: (1) the parcel was occupied by a substandard building within a three-year period prior to the parcel’s
inclusion in the district and request for certification from the County Auditor; and
(2) if the substandard building was demolished or removed within the three year period, such
demolition or removal was performed or financed by the City, or was performed by a developer
under a development agreement with the City. In addition, the City must have found by
resolution before such demolition or removal occurred that the building was structurally
substandard and that the City intended to include the parcel in the TIF District. In the case of (2) above, the County Auditor shall certify the original net tax capacity of the parcel to be
the greater of (a) the current tax capacity of the parcel, or (b) a computed tax capacity of the parcel using
the estimated market value of the parcel for the year in which the demolition or removal occurred, and the
appropriate classification rate(s) for the current year.
At least 90 percent of the tax increment from a redevelopment district or renewal and renovation district
must be used to finance the cost of correcting conditions that allow designation as a redevelopment
district. These costs include, but are not limited to, acquiring properties containing structurally
substandard buildings or improvements or hazardous substances, acquiring adjacent parcels necessary to
provide a site of sufficient size to permit development, demolition and rehabilitation of structures,
clearing of land, removal of hazardous substances, and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks, and
parking facilities for the site. The allocated administrative expenses of the City may be included in the
qualifying costs.
Section 4.05 Duration of the TIF District
Renewal and renovation districts may remain in existence 15 years from the date of receipt of the first tax
increment. Modifications of this plan shall not extend this limitation.
The City reserves the right to allow the TIF District to remain in existence the maximum duration allowed
by law (projected to be through the year 2026) but may decide to decertify the TIF District at an earlier
date. All tax increments from taxes payable in the year the TIF District is decertified shall be paid to the
City.
Article IV – Tax Increment Financing Plan
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 9
Section 4.06 Specific Development Expected to Occur Within the TIF District
See Exhibit IA & IB. The City intends to enter into a contract with Anchobaypro, Inc. regarding their
proposal to develop two phases of housing within the City. The first is a 48-unit residential senior
cooperative building that will be two stories in height and approximately 80,000 square feet in size. The
second will be a 120-unit assisted living facility approximately 107,000 square feet in size. The
construction is expected to be completed by late spring of 2011. This would result in the first tax
increments being available in taxes payable 2011(partial based on 2009 completion). The benefits to the
City include replacement of older housing stock, an addition of new housing units, including an assisted
living facility and an increased future tax base. It has been stated, in writing, by Anchobaypro, Inc. to the
City that the project will not be viable without public participation. The proposed development is within
the TIF District boundaries described in Exhibit IA & IB. No contracts have been entered into for the
proposed development at this time.
The entire project should be 100% assessed and on the tax rolls as of January 2, 2012 for taxes payable in
2013.
Section 4.07 Parcel(s) to be Included in the TIF District
The property to be included in the TIF District includes all, or portions of, ten parcels within the City.
The proposed boundaries of the TIF District are reflected on a map attached as Exhibit IA and include
any potential or current parcel splits. It is intended that a final plat will be submitted to the City that
reflects the proposed boundaries. The final plat will be approved by the City prior to the request for
certification of the TIF district. The following parcel identification number(s) (PID#’s) and
corresponding legal description(s), along with adjacent rights-of-way, will be included in the TIF District:
See Exhibit IB for the PID#’s and legal description of the parcels.
Section 4.08 Property to be Acquired in the TIF District
Anchobaypro, Inc. will be purchasing all of the parcels within the TIF district. None of the parcels are
are owned by the City. The City reserves the right to reimburse the developer for TIF eligible costs as
specified in Section 4.10 and Exhibit II.
Section 4.09 Findings and Need for Tax Increment Financing
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, the City makes the following findings in conjunction with the approval of
this tax increment financing plan:
(1) Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-1 is a renewal and renovation district as defined in
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 10a. The reasons and supporting facts for this
determination will be documented in writing and retained and made available to the public by the
City until the district has been terminated. The determination is described in Section 4.04 of this
TIF Plan.
(2) The proposed development or redevelopment, in the opinion of the City, 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 the TIF District permitted by the TIF Plan;
Article IV – Tax Increment Financing Plan
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 10
The reasons supporting this finding are that:
(i) This finding is supported by the fact that the redevelopment proposed in this TIF Plan
meets the City's objectives for redevelopment. The District is currently occupied by
residential housing, of which 50% has been designated substandard. Redevelopment will
require demolition and site clearance. The high cost of acquisition of the site represents
a substantial financial risk to Anchobaypro, Inc., which has represented to the City in
writing that it would not be feasible to undertake the proposed redevelopment without tax
increment financing assistance. The TIF is intended to mitigate the risk by providing
assistance for land acquisition costs related to the property. Therefore, the City
reasonably concludes that the proposed redevelopment of the District (including both
phases of housing) is not financially feasible or likely to occur in the foreseeable future
without the assistance described in this Plan.
(ii) This finding is based on the fact that the land in the District is now fully developed, with
a substandard use. Any increase in market value without tax increment assistance would
only occur if the existing owners made substantial improvements, or sold their property
for redevelopment through large-scale improvements similar to those proposed in this
Plan. The City has evidence to support the expectation that the existing owners will not
make improvements on their own. Further, there has been little interest in comprehensive
redevelopment in this area without public intervention. 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.
The above findings are stated in monetary terms in Exhibit V, which can be summarized
as follows:
a. The City's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the site will
increase without the use of tax increment financing is $0 (for the reasons
described above).
b. 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
$18,300,700.
c. The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration
of the district permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be $1,675,401.
d. Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur,
the Council finds that no alternative would occur that would produce a market
value increase greater than $16,625,299 (the amount in clause b less the amount
in clause c) without tax increment assistance.
(3) The Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-1
conforms to the general plan for development or redevelopment of the City of Oak Park
Heights as a whole.
The reasons for supporting this finding are that:
a. Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-1 is properly zoned; and
b. The Tax Increment Financing Plan will generally compliment and serve to implement
policies adopted in the City's comprehensive plan. The TIF Plan has been
Article IV – Tax Increment Financing Plan
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 11
adopted by the City Planning Commission after review and making the determination that
the TIF Plan complies with the City’s comprehensive plan.
(4) The Tax Increment Financing Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the
sound needs of the City of Oak Park Heights as a whole, for the development or
redevelopment of Municipal Development District No. 1, as modified, by private
enterprise.
The reasons supporting this finding are that:
The project to be assisted by the District will result in the preservation and enhancement
of the tax base and the redevelopment of a substandard area, and will provide
employment opportunities in the City.
Section 4.10 Estimated Sources of Revenue/Public Costs The estimated sources of revenue, along with the estimated public costs of the TIF District, are itemized
and attached as Exhibit II. Such costs are eligible for reimbursement from tax increments, and other listed
sources of revenue from the TIF District. The City reserves the right to administratively adjust the amount of any of the items in Exhibit II or to
incorporate additional eligible items, so long as the total estimated public cost (uses) is not increased.
The City anticipates providing financial assistance to the proposed development through the use of a pay-
as-you-go technique. As tax increments are collected from the TIF District in future years, a portion of
these taxes will be reimbursed to the developer for TIF eligible costs.
The City reserves the right to finance any or all public costs of the TIF District using pay-as-you-go
assistance, internal funding, general obligation or revenue debt, or any other financing mechanism
authorized by law. The City also reserves the right to use other sources of revenue legally applicable to
the Project Area to pay for such costs including, but not limited to, special assessments, utility revenues,
federal or state funds, and investment income. Section 4.11 Estimated Amount of Bonded Indebtedness The City does not anticipate issuing tax increment bonds to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF
District, but reserves the right to issue such bonds in an amount not to exceed $1,927,000.
Section 4.12 Original Net Tax Capacity Upon or after adoption of the tax increment plan, the County Auditor, upon request of the City, shall
certify the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. This value will be equal to the total net tax
capacity of all property in the TIF District as certified by the Commissioner of Revenue plus any amount
determined under M.S. Section 469.177 subd. 4. For districts certified between January 1 and June 30,
inclusive, this value is based on the previous assessment year. For districts certified between July 1 and
December 31, inclusive, this value is based on the current assessment year.
For projection puroposes, this will be based on the Estimated Market Value of all property within the TIF
District as of January 2, 2009, for taxes payable in 2010 which is currently $1,299,300. Upon
establishment of the TIF District it is estimated that the original net tax capacity of the TIF District will be
approximately $15,481. Reclassification and/or replatting of property will be incorporated into this
calculation.
Article IV – Tax Increment Financing Plan
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 12
As per M.S. Section 469.177, subd.1, each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount that the
original net tax capacity has increased or decreased as a result of, including but not limited to: (1) changes in the tax-exempt status of property; (2) reductions or enlargements of the geographic area of the TIF District; (3) changes due to stipulation agreements or abatements; or
(4) changes in property classification rates.
Section 4.13 Original Tax Capacity Rate
At the time of the initial certification of the original net tax capacity for the tax increment financing
district, the County Auditor shall certify the original local tax capacity rate that applies to the TIF District.
This is the sum of all the local tax rates that apply to the property in the TIF District. This rate certified is
the rate in effect for the same taxes payable year as the certified original net tax capacity.
The tax generated by the extension of the lesser of (a) the local taxing district tax rates or (b) the original
local tax capacity rate, to the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District is the tax increment.
The sum of all local tax rates that apply to property in the TIF District, for taxes levied in 2008 and
payable in 2009, is 86.432%. The County Auditor shall certify this amount as the original tax capacity
rate of the TIF District. For purposes of estimating the tax increment generated by the TIF District, the
sum of the local tax rates for taxes levied in 2008 and payable in 2009, is 87.312% as shown below:
2008/2009
Taxing Jurisdiction Local Tax Rate
City of Oak Park Heights 38.732%
Washington County 26.371%
Independent School District No. 834 17.714%
Other 3.615%
________
Total 86.432%
Section 4.14 Projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity and
Projected Tax Increment
Each year the County Auditor shall determine the current net tax capacity of all property in the TIF
District. To the extent that this total exceeds the original net tax capacity, the difference shall be known
as the captured net tax capacity of the TIF District.
The County Auditor shall certify to the City the amount of captured net tax capacity each year. The City
may choose to retain any or all of this amount. It is the City's intention to retain 100% of the captured net
tax capacity of the TIF District. Such amount shall be known as the retained captured net tax capacity of
the TIF District.
Exhibit III gives a listing of the various information and assumptions used in preparing a number of the
exhibits contained in this TIF Plan, including Exhibit IV, which shows the projected tax increment
generated over the anticipated life of the TIF District.
Article IV – Tax Increment Financing Plan
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 13
Section 4.15 Use of Tax Increment
Each year the County Treasurer shall deduct 0.36% of the annual tax increment generated by the TIF
District and pay such amount to the State's General Fund. Such amounts will be appropriated to the State
Auditor for the cost of financial reporting and auditing of tax increment financing information throughout
the state. Exhibit IV shows the projected deduction for this purpose over the anticipated life of the TIF
District.
The City has determined that it will use the remaining tax increment generated by the portion of the
captured net tax capacity specified above (See Section 4.14) for any of the following purposes:
(1) pay for the estimated public costs of the TIF District (see Section 4.10) and County
administrative costs associated with the TIF District (see Section 4.20);
(2) pay principal and interest on tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to finance the
estimated public costs of the TIF District;
(3) accumulate a reserve securing the payment of tax increment bonds or other bonds issued
to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District;
(4) pay all or a portion of the county road costs as may be required by the County Board
under M.S. Section 469.175, Subdivision 1a (see Section 4.17); or
(5) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County
and School District.
Tax increments from property located in one county must be expended for the direct and primary benefit
of a project located within that county, unless both county boards involved waive this requirement. Tax
increments shall not be used to circumvent levy limitations applicable to the City.
Tax increment shall not be used to finance 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, or for a commons area used as a public park, or a facility used for social, recreational or
conference purposes. This prohibition does not apply to the construction or renovation of a parking
structure, or a privately owned facility for conference purposes.
If there exists any type of agreement or arrangement providing for the developer, or other beneficiary of
assistance, to repay all or a portion of the assistance that was paid or financed with tax increments, such
payments shall be subject to all of the restrictions imposed on the use of tax increments. Assistance
includes sale of property at less than the cost of acquisition or fair market value, grants, ground or other
leases at less then fair market rent, interest rate subsidies, utility service connections, roads, or other
similar assistance that would otherwise be paid for by the developer or beneficiary.
Section 4.16 Excess Tax Increment
In any year in which the tax increments from the TIF District exceed the amount necessary to pay the
estimated public costs authorized by the TIF Plan, the City shall use the excess tax increments to:
(1) prepay any outstanding tax increment bonds;
(2) discharge the pledge of tax increments thereof;
Article IV – Tax Increment Financing Plan
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 14
(3) pay amounts into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of the tax increment bonds;
or
(4) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County
and School District. The County Auditor must report to the Commissioner of Education
the amount of any excess tax increment redistributed to the School District within 30
days of such redistribution.
Section 4.17 County Road Costs The County Board may require the City to pay all, or a portion of, the cost of county road improvements
out of increment revenues, if the following conditions occur:
(1) the proposed development will, in the judgment of the county, substantially increase the
use of county roads requiring construction of road improvements or other road costs; and
(2) the road improvement or other road costs are not scheduled for construction within five
years under the county capital improvement plan, or another formally adopted county
plan and in the opinion of the county, would not reasonably be expected to be needed
within the reasonably foreseeable future if the TIF plan were not implemented.
If the county elects to use tax increments to finance the road improvements, the county must notify the
City and municipality within 45 days after receipt of the proposed TIF plan under subdivision 2 and the
county and municipality must comply with the terms in M.S. Section 469.175, subd. 2(b).
Section 4.18 Four-Year Rule - Limitation on Property Not Subject to Improvements
If after four years from certification of the TIF District no demolition, rehabilitation, renovation or site
improvement, including a qualified improvement of an adjacent street, has commenced on a parcel
located within the TIF District, then that parcel shall be excluded from the TIF District and the original
net tax capacity shall be adjusted accordingly. Qualified improvements of a street are limited to
construction or opening of a new street, relocation of a street, or substantial reconstruction or rebuilding
of an existing street. The City must submit to the County Auditor, by February 1 of the fifth year,
evidence that the required activity has taken place for each parcel in the TIF District.
If a parcel is excluded from the TIF District and the City or owner of the parcel subsequently commences
any of the above activities, the City shall certify to the County Auditor that such activity has commenced
and the parcel shall once again be included in the TIF District. The County Auditor shall certify the net
tax capacity of the parcel, as most recently certified by the Commissioner of Revenue, and add such
amount to the original net tax capacity of the TIF District.
Section 4.19 Five-Year Rule - Tax Increment Pooling
90% of the tax increments (net of administrative expenses) from the TIF District must be expended on
activities within the district or to pay for bonds used to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF
District (see Section 4.04 for additional restrictions). All administrative expenses are considered to have
been spent outside of the TIF District. Tax increments are considered to have been spent within the TIF
District if such amounts are:
(1) actually paid to a third party for activities performed within the TIF District within five
years after certification of the district;
(2) used to pay bonds that were issued and sold to a third party, the proceeds of which are
reasonably expected on the date of issuance to be spent within the later of the five-year
Article IV – Tax Increment Financing Plan
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 15
period or a reasonable temporary period or are deposited in a reasonably required reserve
or replacement fund.
(3) used to make payments or reimbursements to a third party under binding contracts for
activities performed within the TIF District, which were entered into within five years
after certification of the district; or
(4) used to reimburse a party for payment of eligible costs (including interest) incurred
within five years from certification of the district; or
(5) in the case of a housing district, used for a housing project, as defined in section 469.174,
subdivision 11.
Beginning with the sixth year following certification of the TIF District, at 100% of the tax increments
must be used to pay outstanding bonds or make contractual payments obligated within the first five years.
When outstanding bonds have been defeased and sufficient money has been set aside to pay for such
contractual obligations, the TIF District must be decertified.
The City may also elect to increase by up to ten percentage points the permitted amount of expenditures
for activities located outside of the geographic area of the district. As permitted by M.S. Section 469.176,
subdivision 4k, the expenditures, including the prior permitted expenditures, need not be made within the
geographic area of the project if the expenditures:
(1) are used exclusively to assist housing that meets the requirement for a qualified low-
income building, as that term is used in Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code;
(2) do not exceed the qualified basis of the housing, as defined under Section 42 (c) of the
Internal Revenue Code, less the amount of any credit allowed under Section 42 of the
Internal Revenue Code; and
(3) be used to:
a) acquire and prepare the site of the housing;
b) acquire, construct, or rehabilitate the housing; or
c) make public improvements directly related to the housing.
Section 4.20 Limitation on Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses are defined as all costs of the City other than:
(1) amounts paid for the purchase of land;
(2) amounts paid for materials and services, including architectural and engineering services
directly connected with the proposed development within the TIF District;
(3) relocation benefits paid to, or services provided for, persons or businesses residing or
located within the TIF District; or
(4) amounts used to pay interest on, fund a reserve for, or sell at a discount, tax increment
bonds.
Article IV – Tax Increment Financing Plan
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 16
Administrative expenses include amounts paid for services provided by bond counsel, fiscal consultants,
planning or economic development consultants, and actual costs incurred by the County in administering
the TIF District. Tax increments may be used to pay administrative expenses of the TIF District up to the
lesser of (a) 10% of the total estimated tax increment expenditures authorized by the TIF Plan or (b) 10%
of the total tax increments from the district.
Section 4.21 Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
The City believes that, because the development would not have occurred without the tax increment
assistance, TIF District No. 1-1 has no impact on other taxing jurisdictions. However, assuming the
development would have occurred without tax increment assistance, making the anticipated captured tax
capacity available to other jurisdictions, the hypothetical impacts on other jurisdictions are presented
in Exhibit V. A positive impact on other taxing jurisdictions will occur when the TIF District is decertified
and the development therein becomes part of the general tax base.
Additional fiscal and economic impacts of TIF District No. 1-1, pursuant to Section 469.175, subd. 2
of the TIF Act, are listed below.
1. The total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the district is estimated to
be $2,897,237.
2. The probable impact of the district on city-provided services such as police and fire protection,
public infrastructure, and the impact of any general obligation tax increment bonds attributable to the district
upon the ability to issue other debt for general fund purposes, is minimal. Likewise, residential housing
developed in recent years has not created a substantial increase in service calls from police. Public
infrastructure costs, such as traffic impacts, water and sewer usage, and street maintenance, are estimated
to increase at a reasonable rate, as compared with the TIF District’s previous residential use.
The City does not plan to issue general obligation tax increment bonds, and therefore there should be
no effect on the ability of the City to issue other bonds. Therefore, there will be no impact of any general
obligation tax increment bonds attributable to the district upon the ability to issue other debt for general fund
purposes.
3. 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 estimated to be $593,781.
4. The amount of tax increment 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
estimated to be $883,967.
5. Neither the County nor the School District have requested additional information regarding size,
timing, or type of development in the TIF District. If the City receives such a request, the City will provide
the information requested.
Article IV – Tax Increment Financing Plan
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 17
Section 4.22 Prior Planned Improvements The City shall accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor (or notice of district
enlargement), with a listing of all properties within the TIF District for which building permits have been
issued during the 18 months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan. The County Auditor shall
increase the original net tax capacity of the TIF District by the net tax capacity of each improvement for
which a building permit was issued. There have been no building permits issued in the last 18 months in conjunction with any of the
properties within the TIF District.
Section 4.23 Development Agreements
No more than 10%, by acreage, of the property to be acquired within a project containing a housing
district may be purchased by the City with the proceeds of bonds issued pursuant to M.S. 469.178 to
which tax increment from the property being acquired is pledged unless prior to acquisition the City has
entered into an agreement for development which provides recourse for the property should the
development or redevelopment not be completed.
The City intends to enter into an agreement for development.
Section 4.24 Assessment Agreements
The City may, upon entering into a development agreement, also enter into an assessment agreement with
the developer, which establishes a minimum market value of the land and improvements for each year
during the life of the TIF District.
The assessment agreement shall be presented to the County or City Assessor who shall review the plans
and specifications for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to
the land, and so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears to be
an accurate estimate, shall certify the assessment agreement as reasonable. The assessment agreement
shall be filed for record in the office of the County Recorder of each county where the property is located.
Any modification or premature termination of this agreement must first be approved by the City, County
and School District.
The City does not intend to enter into an assessment agreement. Section 4.25 Modifications of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Any reduction or enlargement in the geographic area of the Project Area or the TIF District; increase in
the amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred; increase in the amount of capitalized interest; increase
in that portion of the captured net tax capacity to be retained by the City; increase in the total estimated
public costs; or designation of additional property to be acquired by the City shall be approved only after
satisfying all the necessary requirements for approval of the original TIF Plan. This paragraph does not
apply if:
(1) the only modification is elimination of parcels from the TIF District; and
(2) the current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminated equals or exceeds the net tax
capacity of those parcels in the TIF District's original net tax capacity, or the City agrees
that the TIF District's original net tax capacity will be reduced by no more than the
current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminated.
Article IV – Tax Increment Financing Plan
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 18
The City must notify the County Auditor of any modification that reduces or enlarges the geographic area
of the TIF District. The geographic area of the TIF District may be reduced but not enlarged after five
years following the date of certification. Section 4.26 Administration of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Upon adoption of the TIF Plan, the City shall submit a copy of such plan to the Minnesota Department of
Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor. The City shall also request that the County Auditor certify
the original net tax capacity and net tax capacity rate of the TIF District. To assist the County Auditor in
this process, the City shall submit copies of the TIF Plan, the resolution establishing the TIF District and
adopting the TIF Plan, and a listing of any prior planned improvements. The City shall also send the
County Assessor any assessment agreement establishing the minimum market value of land and
improvements in the TIF District, and shall request that the County Assessor review and certify this
assessment agreement as reasonable.
The County shall distribute to the City the amount of tax increment as it becomes available. The amount
of tax increment in any year represents the applicable property taxes generated by the retained captured
net tax capacity of the TIF District. The amount of tax increment may change due to development
anticipated by the TIF Plan, other development, inflation of property values, or changes in property
classification rates or formulas. In administering and implementing the TIF Plan, the following actions
should occur on an annual basis:
(1) prior to December 31, the City shall notify the County Assessor of any new development
that has occurred in the TIF District during the past year to insure that the new value will
be recorded in a timely manner.
(2) if the County Auditor receives the request for certification of a new TIF District, or for
modification of an existing TIF District, before July 1, the request shall be recognized in
determining local tax rates for the current and subsequent levy years. Requests received
on or after July 1 shall be used to determine local tax rates in subsequent years.
(3) as per M.S. Section 469.177, subd.1, each year the County Auditor shall certify the
amount of the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. The amount certified shall
reflect any changes that occur as a result of the following, including but not limited to:
a) the value of property that changes from tax-exempt to taxable shall be added to
the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. The reverse shall also apply;
b) the original net tax capacity may be modified by any approved enlargement or
reduction of the TIF District;
c) if laws governing the classification of real property cause changes to the
percentage of taxable market value to be applied for property tax purposes, then
the resulting increase or decrease in net tax capacity shall be applied
proportionately to the original net tax capacity and the retained captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District.
The County Auditor shall notify the City of all changes made to the original net tax capacity of the TIF
District.
Article IV – Tax Increment Financing Plan
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 19

City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 22
The annual statement must inform readers that additional information regarding each district may be
obtained from the City, and must explain how the additional information may be requested. The City
must publish the annual statement for a year no later than August 15 of the next year. The City must

The reporting and disclosure requirements outlined in this section shall begin with the year the district
was certified, and shall end in the year in which both the district has been decertified and all tax
increments have been spent or returned to the county for redistribution. Failure to meet these
requirements, as determined by the State Auditors Office, may result in suspension of distribution of tax
increment.
Section 4.28 Business Subsidy Compliance
The City, or other local government agency, must comply with the business subsidies law when providing
business subsidies to private entities. The requirements are specified in Minnesota Statutes, Sections
116J.993 to 116J.995. The City must adopt business subsidy criteria prior to granting a business subsidy.
The requirements include:
(1) the grantor must adopt the criteria following a public hearing;
(2) the criteria may not be adopted on a case-by-case basis;
(3) the criteria must set specific minimum requirements that recipients must meet in order to
be eligible to receive business subsidies;
(4) the criteria must include a specific wage floor for the wages to be paid for the jobs
created. The wage floor may be stated as a specific dollar amount or a formula that will
generate a specific dollar amount
(5) a grantor may deviate from its criteria by documenting in writing the reason for deviation
and attaching a copy of the document to its next annual report to the Department of
Employment and Economic Development;
(6) a copy of the criteria must be submitted to the Department of Employment and Economic
Development.
In addition, the City must enter into a subsidy agreement with the recipient of the subsidy. For subsidies
greater than $150,000 the grantor must provide public notice and a hearing on the subsidy. The subsidy
agreement must include:
(1) a description of the subsidy, including the amount and type of subsidy, and type of
district if the subsidy is tax increment financing;
(2) a statement of the public purpose for the subsidy;
(3) measurable, specific, and tangible goals for the subsidy;
(4) a description of the financial obligation of the recipient if the goals are not met;
(5) a statement of why the subsidy is needed;
Article IV – Tax Increment Financing Plan
City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota 23
(6) a commitment to continue operations in the jurisdiction where the subsidy is used for at
least five years after the benefit date;
(7) the name and address of the parent corporation of the recipient, if any; and
(8) a list of all financial assistance by all grantors for the project.
The statute provides specific requirements in the event the subsidy agreement goals are not met by the
recipient. Recipients are required to report to the grantor specific information as defined in statute. The

Statement 1:
If the projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity of the TIF District was hypothetically available to each of
the taxing jurisdictions above, the result would be a lower local tax rate (see Hypothetical Adjusted Tax Rate above)
which would produce the same amount of taxes for each taxing jurisdiction. In such a case, the total local tax rate
would decrease by 0.979% (see Hypothetical Adj. Local Tax Rate above). The hypothetical tax that the
Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity of the TIF District would generate is also shown above.
Statement 2:
Since the projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity of the TIF District is not available to the taxing jurisdictions,
then there is no impact on taxes levied or local tax rates.
(1) Taxable net tax capacity = total net tax capacity - captured TIF - fiscal disparities contribution - powerline.
(2) The impact on these taxing jurisdictions is negligible since they represent only 4.18% of the total tax rate.

PART 1 – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PURPOSE OF EVALUATION
LHB was hired by the City of Oak Park Heights to inspect and evaluate the properties within a
Tax Increment Financing Renewal and Renovation District (“TIF District”) proposed to be
established by the City. The proposed TIF District is located in the City of Oak Park Heights,
near the intersection of Oakgreen Avenue North and 58th Street North (Diagram 1). The
purpose of LHB‟s work was to determine whether the proposed TIF District meets the statutory
requirements for coverage, and whether six buildings on two parcels, located within the
proposed TIF District, meet the qualifications required for a Renewal and Renovation District.
Diagram 1 – Proposed TIF District
Page 4
SCOPE OF WORK
The proposed TIF District consists of two (2) parcels, with six (6) single family homes. A
partially constructed four-plex is also located in the Northwest corner of the proposed TIF
District. It is approximately 30 percent completed and not habitable, so we are not defining it as
a building for purposed of this analysis.
All six buildings in the proposed TIF District received an on-site interior and exterior
inspection. Building code and Condition Deficiency reports for each building inspected by
LHB are located in Appendix B.
CONCLUSION
After inspecting and evaluating the properties within the proposed TIF District and applying
current statutory criteria for a Renewal and Renovation District under Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.174, Subdivision 10a, it is our professional opinion that the proposed TIF District
qualifies as a Renewal and Renovation District.
The remainder of this report describes our process and findings in detail.
PART 2 – MINNESOTA STATUTE 469.174, SUBDIVISION 10a REQUIREMENTS
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 findings 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”
Page 5
The coverage required by the parcel to be considered occupied is defined under
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(e), which states: “For purposes of
this subdivision, a parcel is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, or paved or gravel
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 20 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard; and 30 percent of the
other buildings require substantial renovation or clearance to remove existing conditions
such as: inadequate street layout, incompatible uses or land use relationships,
overcrowding of buildings on the land, excessive dwelling unit density, obsolete
buildings not suitable for improvement or conversion, or other identified hazards to the
health, safety, and general well-being of the community.”
1. 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
Page 6
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
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. Our goal in applying this 20% test is to provide a consistent threshold
of renovation costs that must be met before we will even consider whether the
building is structurally substandard within the meaning of the statute. If
a building does not have building deficiencies that require renovation with costs
exceeding 20% of replacement value we will not classify that building as
structurally substandard. However, if a building does meet the 20% test we will
not automatically classify that building as structurally substandard merely
because it meets that test. A building that meets the minimum threshold test of
necessitating renovation with costs exceeding 20% of replacement value will
only be classified as structurally substandard if, in our professional judgment, the
types of building deficiencies and the cost to correct the deficiencies satisfy
the requirements of section 469.174, subd. 10(c)(1).
e. We do not count energy code deficiencies toward the thresholds required by
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(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.
2. Buildings are not eligible to be considered structurally substandard unless they meet
certain additional criteria, as set forth in Subdivision 10(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
Page 7
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.”
a. LHB counts energy code deficiencies toward the 15 percent code threshold
required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c)) for the
following reasons:
The Minnesota energy code is one of ten building code areas highlighted
by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry website where
minimum construction standards are required by law.
The index page of the 2007 Minnesota Building Code lists the Minnesota
Energy Code as a “Required Enforcement” area compared to an
additional list of “Optional Enforcement” chapters.
The Senior Building Code Representative for the Construction Codes and
Licensing Division of the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry
confirmed that the Minnesota Energy Code is being enforced throughout
the State of Minnesota.
In a January 2002 report to the Minnesota Legislature, the Management
Analysis Division of the Minnesota Department of Administration
confirmed that the construction cost of new buildings complying with the
Minnesota Energy Code is higher than buildings built prior to the
enactment of the code.
Proper TIF analysis requires a comparison between the replacement value
of a new building built under current code standards with the repairs that
would be necessary to bring the existing building up to current code
standards. In order for an equal comparison to be made, all applicable
code chapters should be applied to both scenarios. Since current
construction estimating software automatically applies the construction
cost of complying with the Minnesota Energy Code, energy code
deficiencies should also be identified in the existing structures.
PART 3 – PROCEDURES FOLLOWED
A. LHB was able to schedule interior and exterior inspections for six buildings in the
proposed TIF District. Inspections were conducted on February 2 and February 4, 2009.
Page 8
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.
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 proposed TIF District met the coverage test under Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174, Subdivision 10(e), which resulted in parcels consisting of 100 percent of the
area of the proposed TIF District being occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or
paved drives or parking lots (Diagram 2). This exceeds the 70 percent area coverage
requirement for the proposed TIF District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
Subdivision 10a (a) (1).

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 2009.
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 Oak Park Heights, 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 each 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 2006 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.
After identifying the code deficiencies in each building, we used R.S. Means Cost
Works 2009; Unit and Assembly Costs to determine the cost of correcting the
identified deficiencies. We were than able to compare the correction costs with the
replacement cost of each building to determine if the costs for correcting code
deficiencies meet the required 15 percent threshold.
Page 10
Finding:
Four (4) out of six (6) buildings (66.7 percent) 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 each building in the proposed TIF District can be found in
Appendix B of this report.
3. System Condition Deficiencies
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 10(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.
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 of system condition deficiencies 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.
After identifying the system condition deficiencies in each building, we used our
professional judgment to determine if the list of deficiencies would total more than 20
percent of the replacement value of the building when added to the cost of total code
deficiencies. For example, if a building with a replacement value of 100 thousand
dollars had 17 percent code deficiencies, we would look at the list of system condition
deficiencies and make a professional judgment that the cost of fixing the system
condition deficiencies would be at least $3,000 (3 percent), in order for that building
to be considered substandard.
Finding:
In our professional opinion, three (3) of the six (6) buildings (50 percent) in the
proposed TIF District are 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
Page 11
substantial renovation or clearance. This exceeds the 20 percent requirement of
Subdivision 10a. (a) (1) (ii).
Subdivision 10a. (a) (1) (iii)
Subdivision 10a. (a) (1) (iii) requires that at least 30 percent of the other buildings
(i.e., all buildings excluding the 20 percent minimum standard) meet the Subdivision
10a (1), clause (iii) test in which the “other” buildings require substantial renovation
or clearance to remove existing conditions such as: inadequate street layout,
incompatible uses or land use relationships, overcrowding of buildings on the land,
excessive dwelling unit density, obsolete buildings not suitable for improvement or
conversion, or other identified hazards to the health, safety, and general well-being of
the community.
Finding:
Six (6) out of the six (6) buildings (100 percent) in the proposed Renewal and
Renovation District exhibit existing conditions warranting renovation or clearance as
defined by Minnesota Statutes Subd. 10a. (1) (iii), described as follows:
As noted above, three buildings (1A, 1B, and 2A) were found to be
structurally substandard as defined by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
Subdivsion 10 (b) and (c). The factors under Subdivision 10a (1), clause (iii)
are broader, and include “obsolete buildings not suitable for conversion.”
Buildings with deficiencies significant enough to meet the structurally
substandard test are, in effect, buildings that are obsolete and not suitable for
improvement. Therefore, all three buildings found to be substandard in
Appendix A and B also meet the lesser “obsolescence” test of Subdivsion 10a
(1), clause (iii).
Buildings 1C, 1D, and 2B exhibited signs of deterioration, including code
deficiencies, but not at a level warranting a substandard finding. However, the
City of Oak Park Heights Comprehensive plan written in 1998 and updated in
2008 is redirecting this area to a Commercial land use, which makes the
single-family houses an obsolete land-use. The value of these properties is in
the underlying land, not the house sitting on the land, which over time, will
lead to further deterioration of the buildings.
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
and 10a. It is also important to look at the distribution of substandard buildings
throughout the geographic area of the proposed TIF District.
Page 12
Finding:
Buildings meeting the requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
Subdivision 10 and 10a are reasonably distributed throughout the geographic area of
the proposed TIF District (Diagram 3).

EXTERNAL MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 9, 2009
TO: Mr. Eric Johnson, City Administrator
Members of the City Council
CC:
FROM: Nick Skarich, Vice President
Northland Public Finance
RE: Oakgreen TIF Development
Dear Mr. Johnson and Council Members,
I have further reviewed the Anchobaypro, Inc. proposal and have provided the attached financial analysis
in efforts to aid the City in understanding the components of the proposed TIF project. I will be in
attendance at the April 14th City Council meeting to further discuss the City’s role in the TIF process and
the required steps moving forward.
The most recent proposal includes two components. The first is 48-unit residential senior cooperative
building that will be two stories in height and approximately 80,000 square feet in size. The second will
be a 120-unit assisted living facility approximately 107,000 square feet in size. The construction is
expected to be completed by late spring of 2011. This would result in the first tax increments being
available in taxes payable 2011(partial based on 2009 completion). The benefits to the City include
replacement of older housing stock, an addition of new housing units, including an assisted living facility
and an increased future tax base.
Procedurally, the City would start by first calling for a public hearing, which would typically be held
approximately 45 days in the future. At that point Northland Securities and Briggs & Morgan will start
the process of preparing the required documents and notices and forwarding those to the required parties.
The developer would not be able to proceed, including the pulling of a building permit, until the City
passes a resolution approving the establishment of the TIF district following the public hearing. The
attached timeline describes the steps involved.
The current request for financial assistance includes approximately $1,200,000 of tax increments to help
offset $1,600,000 of acquisition related costs of the existing homes on the property and allow for a
reasonable return on investment. This amounts to 5% of total project costs of approximately $24,000,000
which is a reasonable request. This would be accomplished based on the information provided. The
assistance would be provided through a “pay-as-you-go” mechanism. This means that as taxes are paid
on the property the tax increment portion would be returned to the City who would in turn reimburse the
Developer on an annual basis. The payment amount would be determined by terms negotiated in the
development agreement. The attached example reflects a 90% payout (10% admin to the City). The
assumptions are based on 48 units assessed at an average of $225,000 and an assessed value of
$15,000,000 on the assisted living as per the developer. Reimbursements are only made contingent on
taxes being paid. No taxes = no TIF. This alleviates any financial risk to the City that would be assumed
if the City were to issue bonds for instance. The statutory maximum duration for renewal and renovation
districts is 16 years of collection. Dependent on final assumptions, the TIF district could fulfill its
obligation in less than 16 years. Based on the attached analysis, and an assumed market value inflation of
0%, it would take 9 years for the assistance to be paid in full (interest rate at 6.00%). At that time the
properties would go back on the City’s tax rolls.
The developer is paying out-of-pocket for an independent third party study that will determine whether
property will qualify as a renewal and renovation TIF district as proposed. This report will be finalized
shortly. The current draft demonstrates that the district will qualify.
Overall, the project looks promising for the City of Oak Park Heights. The City will need to determine its
comfort level with the nature of the project, duration of the district, etc. We look forward to working with
you on this project. Feel free to contact me with any questions at (612) 851-5907. Thank you.

Statement 1:
If the projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity of the TIF District was hypothetically available to each of
the taxing jurisdictions above, the result would be a lower local tax rate (see Hypothetical Adjusted Tax Rate above)
which would produce the same amount of taxes for each taxing jurisdiction. In such a case, the total local tax rate
would decrease by 1.216% (see Hypothetical Adj. Local Tax Rate above). The hypothetical tax that the
Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity of the TIF District would generate is also shown above.
Statement 2:
Since the projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity of the TIF District is not available to the taxing jurisdictions,
then there is no impact on taxes levied or local tax rates.
(1) Taxable net tax capacity = total net tax capacity - captured TIF.
(2) The impact on these taxing jurisdictions is negligible since they represent only 4.15% of the total tax rate.
