WITH R ESPECT TO A S UBSTANDARD B UILDING
WHEREAS, the City of Plymouth, Minnesota (the "City") intends to undertake a redevelopment
project in the City (the "Redevelopment Project"); and
WHEREAS, a part of the Redevelopment Project involves the demolition and clearance of a
certain blighted building (the "Building") described on Exhibit A attached hereto located on certain
parcels also described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Parcels"); and
WHEREAS, the City proposes to create a tax increment financing district including the Parcels as
a "redevelopment district"; and
WHEREAS, the deteriorated condition of the Building creates a health and safety concern
necessitating the demolition of the Building prior to the creation of a tax increment financing district;
and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1794 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 outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or
clearance; and
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 HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH,
MINNESOTA, as follows:
(1) At least 15% of the area of each parcel is occupied by the Building and other streets,
paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures.
(2) The Building is "structurally substandard" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.174, subdivision 10. The reasons and supporting facts for this determination
are on file with the staff of the City.

subdivision 1, paragraph (f).
(4) Effective Date. This resolution is effective upon the date of its approval.
