Section 1. Background.
. 1.01. This Council has duly established Development District No. 4 (the "District")
In accordance with the procedures set out in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 472A, and
adopted and amended a Development Program (the "Program") to construct various public
improvements (the "Project") in the District: and has directed the city staff to

Council all in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 273.73 to 273.78, (such
Sections and Chapter 472A referred to collectively as (the "Act").
1.02. The staff has developed an amended tax increment financing plan entitled "Tax
Increment Financing Plan, Tax Increment Financing District No. 4-2, City of Plymouth,
Hennepin County, Approved December 6, 1986", and Amended April 6, 1987 (the "TIF

1.04. the public hearing on the amended TIF Plan was duly held on this date and all
persons wishing to express an opinion, orally or in writing, were given a
opportunity to be heard.
1.05. This Council finds and determines for the reasons more fully set out
hereinafter that it is necessary and desirable for the sound financial management of
the City and its efficient and economic development and that amended TIF District
No. 4-2 be established in the District in accordance with the TIF Plan in order to
construct the Project and carry out the Program.
Sec. 2. Findings.
2.01. This Council has reviewed the amended TIF Plan and finds that it conforms to
the requirements of the Act and provides a workable plan for the construction and
financing of the development of the District.
2.02. Pursuant to Section 274.74, Subdivision 3 of the Act, this Council makes the
following specific findings:
a) The proposed TIF District is an Economic Development District.
The proposed TIF District is an economic development district as defined
In Section 273.73, Subdivision 12. The City Council finds that it is in
the public interest to undertake the Project and the Improvements
described in the TIF Plan within the District, because these Improvements
will: make feasible the development and induce and make feasible other
• new commercial development through the provision of an adequate roadways
transportation system, and create additional employment and enhance the
City's tax base through the encouragement of private commercial
development.
b) The proposed economic development described in the TIF Plan cannot, in
the opinion of the City Council, reasonably be expected to occur solely
through private development within the reasonable forseeable future and
therefore the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary.
The proposed development in the District has been planned and predicated
on the provision of an adequate roadways transportation system by the
City to service an area that previously was not serviced by roadways. A
traffic analyses conducted by an independent engineering consulting firm
and by the City staff has determined that there is insufficient traffic
capacity within the District to accommodate new commercial/industrial
growth. Therefore, the proposed development cannot reasonably be
expected to have occurred or to occur in the absence of the Project and
the Improvements. The Improvements described in the Plan will meet this
purpose.
(CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE)
c) The TIP Plan conforms to the general plan for the development of the City
as a whole.
The City's Planning Commission has reviewed the Program for the District
and the proposed Improvements, and found them to be in conformance with
the City's Comprehensive Plan, including the City's Capital Improvement
Program.
d) The TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound
needs of the City as a whole, for the development of the protect proposed
In the Program by private enterprise.
The opportunity and feasibility for development of the District by
private parties is maximized through the use of tax increment financing.
While a portion of the costs of the Improvements will be met through
special assessments, this source of funding is not sufficient by itself
to fund the Improvements. Given the unavailability of funding from other
governmental sources and the necessity of the Improvements as an
inducement to private development, the use of tax increment financing
will maximize the development opportunities within the District.
e) The City elects the method of tax increment computation set forth in
Section 273.76, Subdivision 6, Clause (b) of the Act.
Pursuant to Section 273.76, Subdivision 3, of the Act, the City elects
the method of tax increment computation as defined in clause (b), whereby
the contribution ratio' for the City under the Fiscal Disparities
10 requirements (Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 473F) will be applied
proportionately to all commercial/industrial properties within the City,
Including properties within the District.
