Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a special workshop meeting of the Housing and

held at 7800 Golden Valley Road in said City on July 10, 2012 at 10:20 pm, in the City

Possible HRA Focus Areas
Chair Pentel reviewed the possible HRA focus projects that were sent to them as part of
the agenda packet. She added that the goal of this exercise is to come to an agreement on
areas they would like to focus on for development or redevelopment. She stated that she is
interested in having housing at the northeast corner of Douglas Drive and TH 55.
Commissioner Freiberg indicated an interest in developing the northeast corner of TH 55
and Douglas Drive, but did not suggest a use.
Commissioner Clausen said she is interested in working with an existing business that
could help bring in a new cammunity center or fitness center, not at any specific location.
Commissioner Harris said he thinks the focus should continue to be on the I-394 Corridor
and the Douglas Drive/TH 55 intersection along with other areas all along Highway 55. He
stated that he would like to be more proactive in creating a marketing pian in order to
attract business and housing to Golden Valley. He would also like to have a visitor's bureau
and an action plan ready to go.
Commissioner Scanlon said she would like to see clustered senior housing on Winnetka
Avenue between Rhode Island south of TH 55.
The Commissioners discussed future senior housing expectations and how existing senior
housing facilities will need to adapt. Grimes said staff cQUld research what other cities have
done and how they've helped seniors move into the next transition of housing.
Burt stated that items will have to be prioritized and consideration needs to be given as to
how projects will be funded.
Pentel suggested they consider this item for a while longer and then get together with the
Planning Commission possibly in September to have another discussian with them. Andre
said in the meantime she would send the Commissioners some assignments regarding
projects in other communities that could serve as a basis for further discussion. Staff will
try and develop materials for a self-guided tour commissioners could visit during August.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:55 pm.

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a special workshop meeting of the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Hennepin County, Minnesota, was
held at 7800 Golden Valley Road in said City on September 11, 2012 at 6:30 pm, in the

Public Improvements - Tiburon Proiect - 55 West Area
Chair Pentel explained that the purpose of this workshop is to discuss whether or not the
HRA is willing to support creating a tax increment renewal and renovation district to help
fund the public improvements surrounding the proposed Tiburon apartment project on
Olson Memorial Highway.
Burt stated that there are several older and vacant properties in this area that are prime for
redevelopment. He explained that a Tax Increment Finance (TIF) district for this area will
help pay for sidewalks, street lights, bike lanes and improvements to the TH 55 slip ramp.
He noted that this request has been initiated by staff and not the developer of the Tiburon
project.
The Commissioners reviewed a map of the proposed TIF area and discussed their
concerns including other ways to pay for the possible public improvements, if creating this
TIF District will affect the creation of TIF Districts in other areas, if creating this TIF district
would have a negative impact on the City's debt load and if making the public
improvements would spur further redevelopment in the area.
After discussion, the consensus from the Commission was to move forward with th�
proposed TIF district. Burt said he would bring this item to the next HRA meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 7 pm.

Golden Valley Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting
October 9, 2012
Agenda Item
6 A. and B. Public Hearing-Adoption of Redevelopment Plan for Highway 55 West
Redevelopment Project Area and Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 (Renewal and
Renovation)
Prepared By
Jeanne Andre, Assistant Director, Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Summary
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and City Council have discussed making public
improvements in the area of 7th Avenue North and Golden Valley Road between Boane Avenue
North and Mendelssohn Avenue ta encourage revitalization of nearby private praperties.
Consideration of ways to finance these desired public improvements has become more urgent
given the recent rezoning of two parcels to high density residential and the proposed
development of a 142-unit apartment at this site. The proposed new development particularly
demands safer access to Highway 55 at Decatur Avenue North and improved pedestrian safety
for the anticipated new residents.
The proposed Highway 55 West Renewal and Renovation Area Plan (Redevelopment Plan)
outlines the identifies the statutory authority, highlights current conditions in the project area,
outlines anticipated improvements, and identifies goals, objectives, policies and administration
for the proposed project area. The Highway 55 West Renewal and Renovation Tax Increment No.
Financing Plan for District No. 1 (Financing Plan) outlines the anticipated income created by the
new district and planned expenditures. A public hearing to present the Redevelopment Plan and
Financing Plan is set for October 9, 2012.
Following the hearing the Housing and Redevelopment Authority will consider adopting both
plans and forwarding them to the City Council for consideration. Prior to consideration by the
City Council, the Planning Commission must review the Plans to determine if they are in accord
with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Hennepin County and School District 270 must also be
allowed to comment on the Plans. If the Plans are forwarded by the HRA, the Council would hold
another public hearing, probably in December, with the additional input from the Planning
Commission, County and School District, before considering their adoption.
If the Financing Plan is approved, state statutes allow the district to continue for 15 years.
However the City could choose to close the district when increment covering the expenditures
has been received. The Financing Plan creates an overall budget, but the City Council is still
required to authorize each project to be financed by the TIF.

Introduction
In the 1970s the City took the initiative to create a mixed-use, walkable downtown centered at the
historic village crossroads at Galden Valley Road and Winnetka Avenue. This area has many
community resources, including retail destinations, restaurants, the library, the post office, and City
Hall. Recently interest has grown in connecting the area west of Boone Avenue to this urban core.
The goal is to make better and safer connections for both pedestrians and vehicles and provide
better access to transit stops. It is anticipated that public improvements that improve vehicle and
pedestrian safety will promote private redevelopment in the area.
Recent rezoning of two parcels at 9220 and 9130 Olson Memorial Highway to high-density housing
is the immediate impetus to establish a new Highway 55 West Renewal and Renovation Area
(Project Area). A developer has proposed the construction of a 142-unit apartment building, adding
many new residents to the area and spurring the need to create improved transportation linkages.
This Plan will define the geographic area of proposed improvements, outline existing conditions,
identify possible improvements, and set goals and objectives and policies that will guide projeets as
they are implemented. The proposed Renewal and Renovation Area includes parcels on the north
and south side of Golden Valley Road west of Decatur Avenue North to 9400 Golden Valley Raad
and parcels on the south side of 7th Avenue North between Boone Avenue North and Qecatur
Avenue North (See Map, page 11).
Background
The Project Area has a wide range of land uses and building types, including 24 parcels and 21
buildings, from 12 to 86 years old. When parcels in the Project Area were originally developed,
Golden Valley Road served as the primary east-west arterial roadway in the area, which originally
contained farmsteads. In fact, a farmhouse built in 1926 still exists on the north side of Golden
Valley Road. Commercial Uses, which included a bowling alley, restaurants and office uses
devefoped over time. Single and multifamily housing now coexist with the commercial uses.
When Olson Memorial Highway (Highway 55) was constructed in the 1960s, some of the existing
uses ended up with frontage an both Highway 55 and Golden Valley Raad and the local street
system was truncated. The unusual shaped lots, highway orientation and truncated Iocal street
system create a challenge for development.
The Valley Square Redevelopment Area east of the Project Area has been redeveloped with a mix
of uses, but has a more urban pedestrian orientation that helps integrate the uses. The goal of the
Project Area is to develop public improvements that will support the current range of land uses and
encourage new development, including new high-density residential housing now proposed for the
area.
Public Improvements
Public improvements proposed in the area include improvements to the Highway 55 access/exit to
Decatur Avenue North, sidewalks and lighting to improve pedestrian safety, burial of overhead
electrical lines, addition of regional storm water facilities, and sanitary sewer lining. These
improvements are aimed to assist residents from the proposed 142-unit apartment move safely in
3
the area and to foster further development in the area by creating a safe neighborhood
environment. Pedestrian safety will also support walking programs promoted by existing local
businesses and connect residents and employees of businesses west of Boone Avenue to transit
stops on Wisconsin Avenue or Winnetka Avenue.
Statement of Need and Public Purpose, Statutory Authorization
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) finds there is a need for development within the
City and the Project Area in order to provide employment and housing opportunities, to improve
the local tax base, and to improve the general economy of the City and the State. The economic
security of the people in the City depends upon proper development of property that meets any
one of a number of conditions, including properties with values too low to pay for the public
services required or rendered and properties where lack of use or improper use has resulted in
stagnant or unproductive land that could otherwise contribute to the public health, safety, and
welfare.
The HRA finds that in many cases, such property cannot be developed without public participation
and assistance in various forms, including property acquisition and/or write-down; proper planning;
the financing of development costs associated with clearance, grading, and soils correction; and the
making of various other public and private improvements necessary for development. in cases
where the development of property cannot be done by private enterprise alone, the HRA believes
it to be in the public interest to consider the exercise of its powers, to advance and spend public
money, and to provide the means and impetus for such development.
The HRA finds that in certain cases, property within the Project Area would or may not be available
for development without the specific financial aid to be sought, that the Redevelopment Plan will
afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the needs of the City as a whole, for the
development of the Project Area by private enterprise, and that the Redevelopment Plan conforms
to the general plan for the development of the City as a whole.
Overall Objectives
The HRA seeks to achieve one or more of the following objectives with respect to the Project Area,
as the Authority may deem appropriate and necessary:
• promote and secure the prompt development of property within the Project Area, such
property which is not now in its most productive use, in a manner consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan of the City, thus realizing Comprehensive Plan, land use, and tax base goals
• assist development in the Project Area through the acquisition or write-down of certain
interests in property which is not now in productive use or in its highest and best use, to make
or defray the cost of soil corrections or site improvements on said property, and to canstruct or
reimburse for the construction of public improvements and other facilities on or for the benefit
of said property, thereby promoting and securing the development of other land within the
Project Area
4
• secure the increase and availability of rental housing property for individuals and families of low
to moderate income within the Project Area
• secure the increase of industrial and commercial property subject to taxation within the Project
Area
• promote and secure additional employment opportunities within the City and ta prevent the
loss of existing employment opportunities, thereby preventing the loss of valuable human
resources
• To provide funding for an ongoing development strategy and to prioritize the use of available
resources
• implement and revise from time to time, as may be deemed necessary or desirable, a
consolidated and unified Redevelopment Plan and to finance the associated development costs
on an area-wide basis
• employ any of the powers of the Authority for the benefit of the Project Area in such cases and
upon such terms as the Authority may deem appropriate
• construct ar acquire facilities deemed desirable for the development of the Project Area

Policies
land Use
The City will study planned land uses to determine the need or desirability of individual parcel or
area-wide comprehensive plan or zoning amendments to accommodate desired land uses.
The City and HRA will assure that its review processes, zoning, and building regulations will
promote desired development projects.
The City will assure that new uses in the redevelopment area are compatible with existing
development and the City's Land Use Plan.
6
The City and HRA will review existing properties in the area to cansider their long term viability
and/or options for alternative uses.
Land use plans will promote mixed use developments and increased density where appropriate, in
keeping with the Metropolitan Council's regfonal growth strategy.
Financing
The City and HRA will identify criteria to target redevelopment funds such as tax increment
financing, tax abatements, Livable Communities, Community Development Block Grants and other
funding made available by the Legislature or other agencies or governmental units.
The City and HRA will consider providing public assistance to redevelopment projects that serve a
substantial public purpose, remove blight, or mitigate contamination.
The City and HRA will consider using land write-downs to subsidize redevelopment projects.
Redevelopment funding will be paired with other funding options such as assessments, based on
the Golden Valley Special Assessment Policy.
The City will consider franchise fees and utility surcharges to underwrite the cost af utility and
infrastructure upgrades.
Design and Environmental Standards
The City will promote best practices ta meet the highest environmental standards.
The City and HRA will identify approaches and/or incentives to promote a corridor beautification
program. This program will include both public and private components.
The City will monitor ongoing research on sustainable development initiatives to guide
redevelopment and future updates of this plan.
Transportation
The City will work with Metropolitan Transit to monitor transportation needs of area residents and
workers and identify ways to improve transportation services, including improving transit routes
and working with area businesses to develop transportation management plans.
Boundaries of the Project Area and Redevelopment Oppartunities
The property within the City which constitutes the Project Area includes the property contained
within the baundaries described below and is illustrated on the attached map.
Area 1A
South of Golden Valley Road, north of Highway 55, and west of Decatur Avenue North
This area currently contains several small office buildings, the former bowling alley, and Valvoline
Rapid Oil Change. This area is very visible from Highway 55. The Tiburon, a six-story, 142-unit
apartment building is proposed to be constructed on the site of the former bowling alley and the
7
adjacent office building, which were recently rezoned to High-Density Residential. The remainder
of the Area 1A could remain commercial or move to residential uses.
Area 16
� South of Golden Valley Road and north of Highway 55,where it exits to Highway 169.
This area is located directly north of the Highway 169/Highway 55 interchange and is zoned
Commercial. National Camera Exchange is currently located at this site. It has relocated from
another site in the Area and may wish to further expand in the future.
Area 2
Narth of Golden Valley Road from Highway 169,east halfway to Decatur Avenue North
Two office buildings,two single family homes, and a five-building apartment complex (Trentwood,
54 units) are located in this area. Trentwood is zoned medium-density residential and the rest of
the parcels are zoned Business and Professional Offices. The easterly office building and single
family homes are currently listed for sale. If the parcels are joined and redeveloped, residential or
institutional uses on those properties would complement the existing and proposed residential
development in the area. Alternately, if redeveloped as Business and Professional Offices, the site
would relate to the office use to the west and north.
Area 3
North of Golden Valley Road from Decatur Avenue North,west to the mid-block
This area includes Red Lobster Restaurant and two fast food restaurants and is zoned Commercial.
While this area is appropriate for continued long-term commercial and retail use, it may develop
more densely in the future if the current uses end.
Golden Valley Road serves as the frontage road for Highway 55 in this area. The road currently ends
at Decatur Avenue North, with frontage road signage directing drivers north on Decatur Avenue
and east on 7t"Avenue. It may be beneficial to realign the frontage road in this area to provide a
continuous roadway and eliminate confusing turning movements. The current access to Highway
55 at Decatur does not provide standard,save vehicular movement.
Area 4
North of Highway 55 west of Boone Avenue North, south of 7th Avenue,and east of Decatur
Avenue North
This area contains two restaurants, an automotive service shop, and a vacant parcel, all of which
are zoned Commercial. With its highway visibility and proximity to the Boone Avenue/Highway 55
intersection, this area could redevelop into more intense uses, particularly if a number of the
parcels are consolidated.

Resolution 12-06 October 9, 2012
Commissioner introduced the following and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION OF THE HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
IN AND FOR THE CITY OF GOLDEN VALLEY, HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA,
ADOPTING THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR HIGHWAY 55 WEST
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 1 (RENEWAL AND RENOVATION)
BE IT RESOLVED by Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of
Galden Valley, Minnesota (the "Authority"), as follows:
1. Financinq Plan Review. The Authority has previously reviewed and approved the
Redevelopment Plan (the "Project Plan") for the Highway 55 West Redevelopment
Project Area (the "Redevelopment Project") and now has before it a Tax Increment
Financing Plan (the "Financing Plan") for Tax Increment Financing (Renewal and
Renovation) District No. 1 (the "District").
2. Adoption. The Financing Plan is hereby adopted, subject to approval by the
Planning Commission and the City Council as provided in Section 4, based on the findings
in Section 3 hereof.
3. Findings for Approval of the Financing Plan. The Authority hereby makes the
following findings:
3.01. The Financing Plan provides the means to finance certain public
redevelopment costs of the Redevelopment Project, including the redevelopment activities
described in the Financing Plan that benefit the District. The Financing Plan contains a
statement of objectives for the improvement of the Redevelopment Project, a statement as
to the development program for the District, and a statement of the property within the
Redevelopment Project which the Authority intends to acquire. The Financing Plan alsa
estimates the public redevelopment costs of the Redevelopment Project, the amount of
bonded indebtedness to be incurred, the sources of revenues to finance or otherwise pay
public costs of the District, the most recent net tax capacity of taxable real property within
the District, the captured net tax capacity of the District at completion, and the duration af
the District. The Financing Plan also describes and identifies the development activities to
be undertaken or expected to be undertaken in the District and all parcels to be included in
the District. The Financing Plan further contains alternative estimates of the impact of the
propased tax increment financing on the net tax capacities of all taxing jurisdictions in
which the District is located. All the captured tax capacity is necessary for the objectives of
the District.
3.02. The District consists of a contiguous geographic area within a "project" as
defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subdivision 8, and is a proper "tax
increment financing district" within the meaning of Section 469.174, subdivision 9. Based
on the information in the Financing Plan and representations of the developer, the District
contains the following conditions: Parcels consisting of 70% of the area of the District are
occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar
structures; 20% of the buildings are structuraNy substandard; and 30% of the other
buildings require substantial renovation or clearance to remove existing conditions, such as
inadequate street layout, incompatible uses or land use relationships, overcrowding of
buildings on the land, excessive dwelling unit density, obsolete buildings not suitable for
improvement or conversion, or other identified hazards to the health, safety, and general
well-being of the City. The foregoing conditions are reasonably distributed throughout the
geographic area of the District. Therefore, the District qualifies as a "renewal and reno-
vation district" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subdivision 10a.
3.03. The private redevelopment proposed to be encouraged in the Redevelopment
Project pursuant to the proposed Project Plan would not, in the opinion of the Authority,
reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably
foreseeable future and, therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary.
Furthermore, in the opinion of the Authority, the increased market value of the site that
could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be
less than the increase in the market value estimated to result fram the proposed
development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the
maximum duration of the District permitted by the Financing Plan. The studies and
analyses supporting these findings are identified in the Financing Plan.
3.04. The Financing Plan conforms to the general plan for the development or
redevelopment of the City as a whole. The redevelopment activities are compatible with the
City's zoning ordinances and other related regulations and encourage efficient use of
existing infrastructure as set forth in the City's Land Use Plan.
3.05. The Financing Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the
sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the District by
private enterprise. The redevelopment activities contemplated in the Project Plan would
help to retard blight in the Redevelopment Project and provide an increase in employment
and housing opportunities in the City and enhance the tax base of the City and overlapping
taxing jurisdictions.
4. Transmittai. The Authority does hereby transmit the Financing Plan to the
Golden Valley Planning Commission to affirm the findings of the Authority in Section 3.04,
and to Golden Valley City Council for approval after the same has been considered by the
Council subsequent to a public hearing to be held in accordance with Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 469.
5. Filin . Following approval by the City Council, the Director is hereby authorized
and directed to file the Financing Plan with the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department
of Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.175, subdivision 4a.

Section D Statement of Objectives
See Section D "Statement of Objectives"on page 2 of the of the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area.
Section E Designation of Tax Increment Financing District as a
Renewal and Renovation District
Renewal and Renovation districts are a type of tax increment financing district in which the following conditions exists;
1)
i) parcels comprising at least 70% of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets,
utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures;
ii) 20 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard;and
iii) 30 percent of the other buildings require substantial renovation or clearance to remove existing
conditions such as; inadequate street layout, incompatible uses or land use relationships,
overcrowding of buildings on the land, excessive dwelling unit density, obsolete buildings not
SPRINGSTED Page 1

suitable for improvement or conversion, or other identified hazards to the health, safety, and
general well-being of the community,
2) the conditions described in clause(1)are reasonably distributed throughout the geographic area of the district
For purposes of determining whethe� a building is structurally substandard, whether parcels are occupied by
buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures, or whether noncontiguous areas
qualify,the provisions of subd ivision 10, paragraphs(b)through(fl,apply.
For districts consisting of two more noncontiguous areas, each area must individually qualify under the provisions
listed above,as well as the entire area must also qualify as a whole,
The TIF District qualifies as a renewal and renovation district in that it meets all of the criteria listed in (1) and (2)
above. An executive summary of a report prepared by LHB Corporation that tletails the qualifications is included in
Exhibit VI, A copy of the entire report with supporting facts and documentation for this determination is on file with the
Authority and is available to the public upon request. The full report will be retained by the Authority for the life of the
TIF District.
"Structurally substandard" is defined as buildings containing defects or deficiencies in structural elements, essential
utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection (including egress), layout and condition of interior partitions,
or similar factors. Generally, a building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code
applicable to a new building, or could be modified to satisfy the existing code at a cost of less than 15°/a of the cost of
constructing a new structure of the same size and type.
A city may not find that a building is structurally substandard without an intenor inspection, unless it can not gain
access to the property and there exists evidence which supports the structurally substandard finding. Such evidence
includes recent fire or police inspections, on-site property tax appraisals or housing inspections, exterior evidence of
deterioration, or other similar reliable evidence. Written documentation of the findings and reasons why an interior
inspection was not conducted must be made and retained. A parcel is deemed to be occupied by a structurally
substandard building if the following contlitions are met:
(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 district;
(2) the demolition or removal of the substandard building was performetl or financed by the City, or was
performed by a developer under a development agreement with the City,
(3) the City fountl by resolution before such demolition or removal occurred that the building was structurally
substandard and that the City intended to include the parcel in the TIF district,and
(4) the City notifies the county auditor that the original tax capacity of the parcel must be adjusted upon filing
the request for certification of the tax capacity of the parcel as part of a district.
In the case of(4)above, the County Auditor shall certify the original net tax capacity of the parcel to be the greater of
(a)the current tax capacity of the parcel, or (b)a computed tax capacity of the parcel using the estimated market
value of the parcel for the year in which the demolition or removal occurred, and the appropriate classification rate(s)
for the current year.
A parcel is deemed "occupied" if at least 15% of the area of the parcel contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved or
gravel parking lots;or other similar structures,
At least 90 percent of the tax increment from a renewal and renovation district must be used ko finance the cost of
correcting conditions that allow designation as a redevelopment district, These costs include, but are not limited to,
acquiring properties containing structurally substandard buildings or improvements or hazardous substances,
pollution, or contaminants, acquiring adjacent parcels necessary to provide a site of sufficient size to permit
development, demolition and rehabilitation of structures, clearing of lantl, removal of hazardous substances or
SPRINGSTED Page 2
Housing and Redeve/opment Authority of the City of Go/den Valley, Minnesota
remediation necessary to develop the land, and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks, and parking facilities for the
site. The allocated administrative expenses of the Authority may be included in the qualifying costs,
Section F Duration of the TIF District
Renewal and Renovation districts may remain in existence 15 years from the date of receipt of the first tax increment.
The Authority anticipates that the TIF District will remain in existence the maximum duration allowed by law(projected
to be through the year 2030). Modifications of this plan (see Section Z) shall not extend these limitations. All tax
increments from taxes payable in the year the TIF District is decertified shall be paid to the Authority,
The Authority has elected to delay receipt of increment for a period of one year; therefore, the anticipated first
collection year will be 2015. The Authority reserves the right to allow the TIF District to remain in exiskence the
maximum duration allowed by law(projected to be through the year 2030), and anticipates that the TIF District may
be active for the maximum duration allowed (see Section P). However the Authority will decertify the TIF District as
early as possible should the projected increment be received in a shorter time period than originally projected, All tax
increments from taxes payable in the year the TIF District is decertified shall be paid to the Authority.
Section G Property to be Included in the TIF District
The TIF District is an approximate 4,46-acre area of land located within the Project Area. A map showing the location
of the TIF District is shown in Exhibit I, The boundaries and area encompassed by the TIF District are described

The area encompassed by the TIF District shall also include all street or utility right-of-ways located upon or adjacent
to the property described above.
Section H Property to be Acquired in the TIF District
The Authority may acquire and sell any or all of the property located within the TIF District; however, the Authority
does not anticipate acquiring any such property at this time.
Section I Specific Development Expected to Occur Within the TIF District
The proposed project includes the redevelopment of a currently blighted site by the construction of a 142-unit market
rate apartment project. Proposed to be constructed as a result of the apartment project are public improvements
SPRINGSTED Page 3
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
proposed for the area to include improvements to the Highway 55 access/exit to Decatur Avenue North, sidewalks
and lighting to improve pedestrian safety, burial of overhead electrical lines, regional storm water facilities and
sanitary sewer lining. These improvements are necessary to facilitate the redevelopment of the blighted site, by
facilitating a safer pedestrian neighborhood and removing costs prohibitive to the redevelopment of the project area,
The Authority anticipates using tax increment revenues to finance a portion of the eligible public costs related to
redevelopment of the project area,as well as related administrative expenses.
The Authority anticipates development commencing in 2013 for the apartment portion of the project. The public
improvements are slated to be undertaken in conjunction with the apartment project. It is likely that multiple projects
will occur within the District, although it is assumed that all project costs eligible for TIF assistance will have been
initiated by 2016.
Section J Findings and Need for Tax Increment Financing
In establishing the TIF District, the Authority makes the following findings:
(1) The TIF District qualifies as a renewal and renovation district;
The City of Golden Valley retainetl the services of LHB ta inspect and evaluate property
within the proposed Tax Increment Financing District to be established by the Authority.
The purpose of the evaluation was to determine if the proposed district met the statutory
requirements for coverage and if the buildings met the qualifications required for a
Renewal and Renovation District.
These findings are described more completely in Section E and Exhibit VI.
(2) The proposed development, in the opinion of the Authority, would not reasonably be expected to
occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and the increased
market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax
increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the
proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the
maximum duration of the district permitted by the TIF Plan.
Factual basis:
Proposed deve%pment not expected to occur.�
The proposed redevelopment consists of the acquisition and demolitionlrenovation of substandard buildings,and
the undertaking of necessary public improvements within the proposed TIF District boundaries in the City of
Golden Valley for development of new market rate apartments. The cost of acquisition and demolitionlrenovation
of the existing buildings coupled with the cost of the public improvements, make the total cost of this effort
significantly higher than reasonably incurred for similar developments on a clean site. The Authority anticipates
undertaking the public improvements necessary to provide for an area safe for both pedestrian and vehicle traffic,
and to remove costs prohibitive to the redevelopment of the project area.
No higher ma�ket value expected.�
If the proposed redevelopment did not go forward, for the same reasons described above, no large scale
altemative redevelopment of the project site would likely occur. The currently blighted building is now closed and
vacated, and it is highly unlikely that significant improvements would be made, It is conceivable that the existing
buildings could be rehabilitated and reopened, but even if that occurred, the result would be only a modest
increase in market value compared to the significant value growth created by the proposed redevelopment. In
short,there is no basis for expectation that the area would redevelop or be renovated in any significant way purely
SPRINGSTED Page 4
Housing and Redevelopmenf Authority of the City of Goiden Valley, Minnesota
by private action without public subsidy given the improvements necessary for the development of the project
area.
To summarize the basis for the Authority's findings regarding altemative market value, in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes,Section 469,175,Subd,3(d),the Authority makes the following determinations;
a. The Authority's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the site will increase
without the use of tax increment financing is anywhere from$0 to some modest amount based an small
scale renovation or redevelopment that could be possible without assistance; any estimated values
would be too speculative to ascertain.
b, If the proposed development to be assisted with tax increment occu�s in the District,the total
increase in market value would be approximately$25,905,935, including the value of the building (See
Exhibit II).
c. The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration of the district
permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be$3,229,283(See Exhibit�
d, Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur, the Authority
finds that no altemative would occur that would produce a market value increase greater than
$22,676,652(the amount in clause b less the amount in clause c)without tax increment assistance,
(3) The TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the Authority as
a whole,for development of the Project Area by private enterprise,
Factual basis: The anticipated redevelopment of the project site may include the construction of a new 142-unit
market rate apartment building,and the redevelopment of project area consistent with the City's design goals.
(4) The TIF Plan conforms to general plans for development of the Authority as a whole.
Factual basis: The City Planning Commission has determined that the development proposed in the TIF Plan
conforms to the City comprehensive plan.
Section K Estimated Public Costs
The estimated public costs of the TIF District are listed below. Such costs are eligible for reimbursement from tax
increments of the TIF District.
Land/Building Acquisition, Demolition, Special
Assessments,Public Utilities, Site $3,034,633

The Authority reserves the right to administratively adjust the amount of any of the items listed above or to
incorporate additional eligible items, so long as the total estimated public cost is not increased, The estimated cost of
capitalized interest is included in the loan interest payment amount. The Authority reserves the right to spend
available tax increment outside of the TIF District boundaries and within the project area,

Other
Total $5,915,441
The Authority anticipates using future tax increments for reimbursement of public costs incurred from Sectio� K. As
increments are collected from the TIF District in future years, these taxes will be reserved by the Authority as
reimbursement for public costs incurred, either through internal funding or general obligation or revenue debt, The
Authority reserves the right to finance any or all public costs of the TIF District using pay-as-you-go assistance,
internal funding, general obligation or revenue debt, or any other financing mechanism authorized by law, The
Authority also reserves the right to use other sources of revenue legally applicable to the Project Area to pay for such
costs including, but not limited to, special assessments, utility revenues, federal or state funds, and investment
income.
Section M Estimated Amount of Bonded Indebtedness
The Authority anticipates issuing tax increment bonds to finance a portion of the estimated public costs of the TIF
District, to intemally loan funds to the TIF District from allowable Authority andlor City in an amount not to exceed
$3,641,560(eligible costs+20%allowance for cost of issuance),
Section N Original Net Tax Capacity
The County Autlitor shall certify the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. This value will be equal to the total net
tax capacity of all property in the TIF District as certified by the State Commissioner of Revenue. For districts certified
between January 1 and June 30, inclusive, this value is based on the previous assessment year. For districts
certified between July 1 and December 31,inclusive, this value is based on the current assessment year.
The Estimated Market Value of all the land within the TIF District as of January 2, 2012, for kaxes payable in 2013, is
$3,457,000 and the original net tax capacity of the TIF District is $53,240. This assumes a portion of the property is
reclassified to rental, and the remaining area continues to be classified commerciallindustrial.
Each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount that the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased as
a result of:
(1) changes in the tax-exempt status of property;
(2) reductions or enlargements of the geographic area of the TIF District;
(3) changes due to stipulation agreements or abatements;or
(4) changes in property classification rates.
Section 0 Original Local Tax Rate
SPRINGSTED Page 6
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
The County Auditor shall also certify the original local tax rate of the TIF District. This rate shall be the sum of all local
tax rates that apply to property in the TIF District. This rate shall be for the same taxes payable year as the original
net tax capacity.
In future years, the amount of tax increment generated by the TIF District will be calculated using the lesser of(a)the
sum of the current local tax rates at that time or(b)the original local tax rate of the TIF District.
At the time this document was prepared, the sum of the final local tax rates that apply to property in the TIF District,
for taxes levied in 2012 and payable in 2013, was not yet available. When this total becomes available, the County
Auditor shall certify this amount as the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District, For purposes of estimating the tax
increment generated by the TIF District, the sum of the final local tax rates for taxes levied in 2011 and payable in
2012, is 143.443%as shown below.

Total 143.443%
Section P Projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity and
Projected Tax Increment
The Authority anticipates that the apartment project will be 75%completed by December 31, 2013, creating an initial
tax capacity for the TIF District of $210,271 as of January 2, 2014, The captured tax capacity as of that date is
estimated to be$157,031 and the first-year of tax increment is estimated to be $225,250 payable in 2015. The first
full year of increment is projected to be in $307,091 in taxes payable 2016. A complete schedule of estimated tax
inerement from the TIF District is shown in Exhibit IV,
The estimates shown in this TIF Plan assume that commercial class rates remain at 1.5% for the first$150,000 of
estimated market value and 2,0% of the market value above $150,000; and that rental class rates remain at 1.25%.
The projections also assume a 3%annual increase in market values.
Each year the County Auditor shall determine the current net tax capaciry of all property in the TIF District, To the
extent that this total exceeds the original net tax capacity, the difference shall be known as the captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District.
For communities affected by the fiscal disparity provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 473F and Chapter 276A,
the original net tax capacity of the TIF District shall be determined before the application of fiscal disparity, In
subsequent years, the current net tax capacity shall either(a)be determined before the application of fiscal disparity
or(b)exclude the product of any fiscal tlisparity increase in the TIF District (since the original net tax capacity was
certified)times the appropriate fiscal disparity ratio. The method the Authority elects shall remain the same for the life
of the TIF District, except that a single change may be made at any time from method(a) to method(b) above. »The
Authority elects method(a),or M.S. Section 469.177,Subdivision 3(a).
The County Auditor shall certify to the Authority the amount of captured net tax capacity each year. The Authority
may choose to retain any or all of this amount. It is the Authority's intention to retain 100% of the captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District. Such amount shall be known as the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District.
SPRINGSTED Page 7
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
Exhibit II gives a listing of the various information and assumptions used in preparing a number of the exhibits
contained in this TIF Plan, including Exhibit III which shows the projected tax increment generated over the
anticipated life of the TIF District.
Section Q Use of Tax Increment
Each year the County Treasurer shall deduct 0.36%of the annual tax increment generated by the TI F District and pay
such amount to the State's General Fund. Such amounts will be appropriated to the State Auditor for the cost of
financial reporting and auditing of tax increment financing information throughout the state. Exhibit III shows the
projected deduction for this purpose over the anticipated life of the TIF District.
The Authority has determined that it will use 100% of the remaining tax increment generated by the TIF District for
any of the following purposes:
(1) pay for the estimated public costs of the TIF District (see Section K) and County administrative
costs associated with the TIF District(see Section T);
(2) pay principal and interest on tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to finance the estimated
pubiic costs of the TIF District;
(3) accumulate a reserve securing the payment of tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to
finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District;
(4) pay all or a portion of the county road costs as may be required by the Counry Board under M,S,
Section 469.175, Subdivision 1a; or
(5) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County and School
District.
Tax increments from property located in one county must be expended for the direct and primary benefit of a project
located within that county, unless both county boards involved waive this requirement, Tax increments shall not be
used to circumvent levy limitatians applicable to the Authority,
Tax increment shall not be used to finance the acquisition, construction, renovation, operation, or maintenance of a
building to be used primarily and regularly for conducting the business of a municipality, county,school district, or any
other local unit of government or the State or federal government, or for a commons area used as a public park, or a
facility used for social, recreational, or conference purposes, This prohibition does not apply to the construction or
renovation of a parking structure or of a privately owned facility for conference purposes.
If there exists any type of agreement or arrangement providing for the developer,or other beneficiary of assistance,to
repay all or a portion of the assistance that was paid or financed with tax increments, such payments shall be subject
to all of the restrictions imposed on the use of tax increments. Assistance includes sale of property at less than the
cost of acquisition or fair market value, grants, ground or other leases at less then fair ma�ket rent, interest rate
subsidies, utility service connections, roads, or other similar assistance that would otherwise be paid for by the
developer or beneficiary.
Section R Excess Tax Increment
In any year in which the tax increments from the TIF District exceed the amount necessary to pay the estimated
public costs authorized by the TIF Plan, the Authority shall use the excess tax increments to:
SPRINGSTED Page 8
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
(1) prepay any outstanding tax increment bonds;
(2) discharge the pledge of tax increments thereof;
(3) pay amounts into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of the tax increment bonds;or
(4) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County and School
District, The County Auditor must report to the Commissioner of Education the amount of any
excess tax increment redistributed to the School District within 30 days of such redistribution.
Section S Tax Increment Pooling and the Five Year Rule
At least 75%of the tax increments from the TIF District must be expended on activities within the district or to pay for
bonds used to finance khe estimated public costs of the TIF District (see Section E for additional restrictions). No
more than 25% of the tax increments may be spent on costs outside of the TIF District but within the boundaries of
the Project Area,except to pay debt service on credit enhanced bonds. All administrative expenses are considered to
have been spent outside of the TIF District. Tax increments are considered to have been spent within the TIF District
if such amounts are:
(1) actually paid to a third party for activities performed within the TIF District within five years after
certification of the district;
(2) used to pay bonds that were issued and sold to a third party, the proceeds of which are reasonably
expected on the date of issuance to be spent within the later of the five-year period or a reasonable
temporary period or are deposited in a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund.
(3) used to make payments or reimbursements to a third party under binding contracts for activities
performed within the TIF District, which were entered into within five years after certification of the
district; or
(4) used to reimburse a party for payment of eligible costs(including interest) incurred within five years
from certification of the district.
Beginning with the sixth year following certification of the T IF District,at least 75%of the tax increments must be used
to pay outstanding bonds or make contractual payments obligated within the first five years. When outstanding bonds
have been defeased and sufficient money has been set aside to pay for such contractual obligations, the TIF District
must be decertified.
The Authority does not currently anticipate that tax increments will be spent outside the TIF District(except allowable
administrative expenses), but such expenditures are expressly authorizetl in this TIF Plan,
Section T Limitation on Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses are defined as all costs of the Authority other than:
(1) amounts paid for the purchase of land;
(2) amounts paid for materials and services, including architectural and engineering services directly
connectetl with the physical development of the real property in the project;
(3) relocation benefits paid to, or services provided for, persons residing or businesses located in the
project;
SPRINGSTED Page 9
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
(4) amounts used to pay principal or interest on, fund a reserve for, or sell at a discount bonds issued
pursuant to section 469.178;or
(5) amounts used to pay other financial obligations to the extent those obligations were used to finance
costs described in clause(1)to(3).
Administrative expenses include amounts paid for services provided by bond counsel, fiscal consultants, planning or
economic development consultants, and actual costs incurred by the County in administering the TIF District. Tax
increments may be used to pay administrative expenses of the TIF District up to the lesser of(a) 10%of the total tax
increment expenditures authorized by the TIF Plan or(b) 10%of the total tax increments received by the TIF District.
Section U Limitation on Property Not Subject to Improvements-Four Year Rule
If after four years from certification of the TIF District no demolition, rehabilitation, renovation, or qualifietl
improvement of an adjacent street has commenced on a parcel located within the TIF District, then that parcel shall
be excluded from the TIF District and the original net tax capacity shall be adjusted accordingly. Qualified
improvements of a street are limited to construction or opening of a new street, relocation of a street, or substantial
reconstruction or rebuilding of an existing street. The Authority must submit to the County Auditor, by February 1 of
the fifth year,evidence that the required activity has taken place for each parcel in the TIF District.
If a parcel is excluded from the TIF District and the Authority or owner of the parcel subsequently commences any of
the above activities, the Authority shall certify to the County Auditor that such activity has commenced and the parcel
shall once again be included in the TIF District. The Counry Auditor shall certify the net tax capacity of the parcel, as
most recently certified by the Commissioner of Revenue, and add such amount to the original net tax capacity of the
TIF District.
Section V Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
Exhibit IV shows the estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions if the maximum projected retained captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District was hypothetically available to the other taxing jurisdictions. The Authority believes that
there will be no adverse impact on other taxing jurisdictions during the life of the TIF District, since the proposed
development would not have occurred without the establishment of the TIF District and the provision of public
assistance. A positive impact on other taxing jurisdictions wiil occur when the TIF District is decertified and the
development therein becomes part of the general tax base.
The fiscal and economic implications of the proposed tax increment financing district, as pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 2, are listed below.
1. The total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the tlistrict is estimated to be
$5,936,814.
2. To the extent the project in the TIF District generates any public cost impacts on city-provitled services such
as police and fire protection, public infrastructure, and the impact of any general obligation tax increment
bonds attributable to the district upon the ability to issue other debt for general fund purposes,such costs will
be levied upon the taxable net tax capacity of the Authority,excluding that portion captured by the District.
3. The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to school district levies,
assuming the school districYs share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same,is
estimated to be$1,211,426.
4. The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to county levies,
assuming the county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same is
estimated to be$1,996,183,
SPRINGSTED Page 10
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
5. No additional infarmation has been requested by the county or school district that would enable it to
determine additional costs that will accrue to it due to the development proposed for the district.
Section W Prior Planned Improvements
The City shall accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor(or notice of district enlargement), with a
listing of all praperties within the TIF District for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months
immetliately preceding approval of the TIF Plan. The County Autlitor shall increase the original net tax capacity of the
TIF District by the net tax capacity of each improvement for which a building permit was issued,
There have been no building permits issued in the last 18 months in conjunction with any of the properties within the
TIF District.
Section X Development Agreements
If within a project containing a renewal and renovation district, more than 25% of the acreage of the property to be
acquired by the Authority is purchased with tax increment bonds proceeds (to which tax increment from the property
is pletlged), then prior to such acquisition, the Authority must enter into an agreement for the development of the
prope�ty. Such agreement must provide recourse for the Authority should the development not be completed.
The Authority does not anticipate acquiring any property located within the TIF District, or entering into an agreement
for development., However, the Authority does reseNe the right to acquire property and enter into an agreement if
deemed necessary.
Section Y Assessment Agreements
The Authority may, upon entering into a development agreement, also enter into an assessment agreement with the
developer, which establishes a minimum market value of the land and improvements for each year during the life of
the TIF District.
The assessment agreement shal! be presented to the County or City Assessor who shall review the plans and
specifications for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land, and
so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears to be an accurate estimate,
shall certify the assessment agreement as reasonable. The assessment agreement shall be filed for record in the
office of the County Recorder of each county where the property is located. Any modification or premature
termination of this agreement must first be approved by the City, County and School District.
The Authority does not anticipate entering into an assessment agreement; however, it does reserve the right to enter
into an assessment agreement for future projects if deemed necessary.
Section Z Modifications of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Any reduction or enlargement in the geographic area of the Project Area or the TIF District; a determination to
capitalize interest on the debt if that determination was not part of the original TIF Plan, increase in the portion of the
captured net tax capacity to be retained by the Authority; increase in the total estimated public costs;or designation of
property to be acquired by the Authority shall be approved only after satisfying all the necessary requirements for
approval of the original TIF Plan. This paragraph does not apply if;
SPRINGSTED Page 11
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
(1) the only modification is elimination of parcels from the TIF District;and
(2) the current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminated equals or exceeds the net tax capacity of
those parcels in the TIF DistricYs original net tax capacity, or the Authority agrees that the TIF
District's original net tax capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net tax capacity of the
parcels eliminated.
The Authority must notify the County Auditor of any modification that reduces or enlarges the geographic area of the
TIF District, The geographic area of the TIF District may be reduced but not enlarged after five years following the
date of certification.
Section AA Administration of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Upon adoption of the TIF Plan, the Authority shall submit a copy of such plan to the Minnesota Department of
Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor. The Authority shall also request that the County Auditor certify the
original net tax capacity and net tax capacity rate of the TIF District. To assist the County Auditor in this process, the
Authority shall submit copies of the TIF Plan, the resolution establishing the TIF District and adopting #he TIF Plan,
and a listing of any prior planned improvements. The Authority shall also sentl the County Assessor any assessment
agreement establishing the minimum market value of land and improvements in the TIF District, and shall request that
the County Assessor review and certify this assessment agreement as reasonable.
The County shall distribute to the Authority the amount of tax increment as it becomes available. The amount of tax
increment in any year represents the applicable property taxes generated by the retained captured net tax capacity of
the TIF District, The amount of tax increment may change due to development anticipated by the TIF Plan, other
development,inflation of property values,or changes in property classification rates or formulas, In administenng and
implementing the TIF Plan,the following actions should occur on an annual basis:
(1) prior to July 1, the Authority shall notify the County Assessor of any new development that has
occurred in the TIF District during the past year to insure that the new value will be recorded in a
timely manner.
(2) if the County Auditor receives the request for certification of a new TIF District,or for modification of
an existing TIF District, before July 1, the reques#shall be recognized in determining local tax rates
for the current and subsequent levy years. Requests received on or after July 1 shall be used to
determine local tax rates in subsequent years.
(3) each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount of the original net tax capacity of the TIF
District The amount certified shall reflect any changes that occur as a result of the following;
(a) the value of property that changes from tax-exempt to taxable shall be added to the
original net tax capacity of the TIF District. The reverse shall also apply;
(b) the original net tax capacity may be modified by any approved enlargement or reduction of
the TIF District;
(c) if laws governing the classification of real property cause changes to the percentage of
estimated market value to be applied for property tax purposes,then the resulting increase
or decrease in net tax capacity shall be applied proportionately to the original net tax
capacity and the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District.
The County Auditor shall notify the Authority of all changes made to the original net tax capacity of the TIF District.

RENEWAL AND RENOVATION QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE DISTRICT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PURPOSE OF EVALUATION
LHB was hired by the City of Golden Valley to inspect and evaluate the properties within a Tax
Increment Financing Renewal and Renovation District ("TIF DistricY') proposed to be established by
the City. The proposed TIF District is located in the City of Golden Valley, bounded by Golden Valley
Road on the North, Highway 55 on the South, and Decatur Avenue North on the West (Diagram 1).
The purpose of LHB's work is to determine whether the proposed TIF District meets the statutory
requirements for coverage, and whether five buildings on seven parcels, located within the proposed
TIF District, meet the qualifications required for a Renewal and Renovation D istrict.

Diagram 1 —Proposed TIF District
SCOPE OF WORK
The proposed TIF District consists of six (6) parcels and a section of public road, with five (5)
commercial buildings.
All five of the buildings received a curbside visual inspection. Three buildings in the proposed TIF
District received an on-site interior and exterior inspection. Building code and Condition Deficiency
reports for each building inspected by LHB are located in Appendix B.

Exhibit VI
CONCLUSION
After inspecting and evaluating the properties within the proposed TIF District and applying current
statutory criteria for a Renewal and Renovation District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
Subdivision 10a, it is our professional opinion that the proposed TIF District qualifies as a Renewal
and Renovation District because:
• The proposed TIF District has a coverage calculation of 100 percent which is above the 70
percent requirement.
• 20 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard which meets the 20 percent
requirement.
• 50 percent of the other buildings require substantial renovation or clearance which is above
the 30 percent requirement.
• The substandard buildings are reasonably distributed throughout the geographic area of the
proposed TIF District.
