SCOPE OF WORK The proposed TIF District consists of twelve (12) parcels and one (1) right of way parcel with twelve (12) buildings. Nine (9) buildings were inspected on the interior and exterior and one (1) building was inspected on the exterior on May 5, 2017 and May 16, 2017. Two (2) buildings were not inspected as they were assumed to be "Not Substandard" based on an exterior evaluation. Building Code and Condition Deficiency Reports for the buildings that were found to be substandard are located in Appendix B. CONCLUSION After inspecting and evaluating the properties within the proposed TIF District and applying current statutory criteria for a Redevelopment District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469. 174, Subdivision 10, it is our professional opinion that the proposed TIF District qualifies as a Redevelopment District because: • The proposed TIF District has a coverage calculation of 100 percent which is above the 70 percent requirement. • 66.7 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard which is above the 50 percent requirement. • The substandard buildings are reasonably distributed. The remainder of this report describes our process and findings in detail. PART 2 - MINNESOTA STATUTE 469.174, SUBDIVISION 10 REQUIREMENTS The properties were inspected in accordance with the following requirements under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(c), which states: INTERIOR INSPECTION "The municipality may not make such determination [that the building is structurally substandard] without an interior inspection of the property..." EXTERIOR INSPECTION AND OTHER MEANS "An interior inspection of the property is not required, if the municipality finds that (1) the municipality or authority is unable to gain access to the property after using its best efforts to obtain permission from the party that owns or controls the property; and (2) the evidence otherwise supports a reasonable conclusion that the building is structurally substandard." DOCUMENTATION "Written documentation of the findings and reasons why an interior inspection was not conducted must be made and retained under section 469.175, subdivision 3(1)."
