WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1799 (the "Tax Increment Act") provides
that a City may create a tax increment financing district (a "TIF District") as a "redevelopment district" if
the City finds by resolution that parcels consisting of 70% of the area of the TIF District are occupied by
buildings, streets, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures, and more than 50% of the
buildings, not including out buildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial
renovation or clearance;
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subdivision 10(d), provides, among other things,
that a parcel may be deemed to be occupied by a structurally substandard building if (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 TIF District with the county auditor; (2) the substandard building was demolished or
removed by the City, the demolition or removal was financed by the City or was done by a developer
under a development agreement with the City; and (3) the City 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 City intended to include the parcel within the district.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Maplewood, Minnesota, as
follows:
1. At least 15% of the area of the Parcels is occupied by the Buildings or other buildings,

3. The developer of the proposed project intends to demolish the Buildings and the City
intends to subsequently include the Parcels in a redevelopment tax increment district established
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subdivision 10, which TIF District, if established, shall
be established within three years of the date hereof.
4. Upon filing the request for certification of the tax capacity of the Parcels as part of the TIF
District, the City will notify the county auditor that the original tax capacity of the Parcels must be
adjusted as provided in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, subdivision 1, paragraph (f).
