MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Case, to approve the minutes of the HRA meeting
held on September 6, 2005. Motion carried 5-0.
III. ADOPT HRA RESOLUTION NO. 2005-02 RELATING TO TAX INCREMENT
FINANCING (REDEVELOPMENT) DISTRICT NO. 6; FINDING THE UNITED
PROPERTIES BUILDING STRUCTURALLY SUBSTANDARD PURSUANT TO
MINNESOTA STATUTES, SECTION 469.174, SUBDIVISION 10(b)
Neal explained this resolution relates to redevelopment of substandard buildings. LHB,
Inc. conducted an inspection of the building at 6509 Flying Cloud Drive on August 16,
2005, to determine if the property qualifies as a Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment
District. A full report was completed by LHB September 28, 2005, and submitted to the
City. According to the report, the building was found to be structurally substandard and
qualifies as a Redevelopment District. The purpose of establishing a Redevelopment
District is to help defray costs associated with the redevelopment of the former Physical
Electronics site in the Golden Triangle Area. Cities conduct such inspections to ensure
that TIF agreements based on structural deficiencies are legitimate.
Butcher asked if the property meets the Butfore test. Jeremiah explained this would not
be addressed until the public hearing. The current action is just to confirm that the
building is structurally deficient.
MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Case, to adopt HRA Resolution No. 2005-02
relating to Tax Increment Financing (Redevelopment) District No. 20; Finding the United
Properties Building Structurally Substandard Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174, Subdivision 10(B). Motion carried 5-0.
