RESOLUTION APPROVING A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN AND ESTABLISHING
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT 1-5
IN MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1

Section 1. Background.
1.01. This Council has duly established Municipal Development District No. 1 (the
"District") in accordance with the procedures set out in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter
469 (Act), and adopted and amended a Development Program (the "Program") to construct

Increment financing district (the "TIF District") within the District for consideration
by the Planning Commission and the Council all in accordance with the Act.

"Tax Increment Financing Plan, Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-5, City of
Plymouth, Hennepin County, Approved February 1, 1988," (the "TIF Plan"). The TIF Plan
has been submitted to the Planning Commission for review. The TIF Plan has been

Sec. 2. Findings.
2.01. This Council has reviewed the amended district program and proposed TIF Plan and
finds that they conform to the requirements of the Act and provide a workable plan for
the construction and financing of the project.
2.02. Pursuant to Section 469.175, 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 469.174, Subdivision 12 of the Act. 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 wake 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 reasonably 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.
c) The TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for the development of the City as a
whole.
The City's Planning Commission has reviewed the Amended 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 project proposed in the
Program by private enterprise.

The opportunity and feasibility for development of the District -and the. TIF
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
469.177, Subdivision 3, Clause (b) of the Act.
Pursuant to Section 469.177, 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 Act (Minnesota
Statutes, Chapter - 473F) will be applied proportionately to all
commercial/industrial properties within the City, including properties within
the District.
