buildings compared with only the half of the district where the buildings are located. If all of the buildings in a district are located evenly throughout the entire area of the district, the substandard buildings must be reasonably distributed throughout the entire area of the district. We believe this is consistent with the opinion expressed by the State of Minnesota Court of Appeals in the Wl'alserAuto Sales, Inc. vs. City of Kicbfield case filed November 13, 2001. PART 3 - PROCEDURES FOLLOWED LHB inspected ten (10) of the twelve (12) buildings during the day of May 5, 2017 and May 16, 2017. Two (2) buildings were assumed to be "Not Substandard" based on an exterior evaluation. PART 4 - FINDINGS A. COVERAGE TEST 1. The total square foot area of the parcel in the proposed TIF District was obtained from City records, GIS mapping and site verification. 2. The total square foot area of buildings and site improvements on the parcels in the proposed TIF District was obtained from City records, GIS mapping and site verification. 3. The percentage of coverage for each parcel in the proposed TIF District was computed to determine if the 15 percent minimum requirement was met. The total square footage of parcels meeting the 15 percent requirement was divided into the total square footage of the entire district to determine if the 70 percent requirement was met. FINDING: The proposed TIF District met the coverage test under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469. 174, Subdivision 10(e), which resulted in parcels consisting of 100 percent of the area of the proposed TIF District being occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures (Diagram 2). This exceeds the 70 percent area coverage requirement for the proposed TIF District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision (a) (1).
