RE:
Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District #9 - Sand
Compames Gateway Place Housmg District
BACKGROUND
Last summer, the Sand Companies approached the City about providing support
for their affordable housmg tax credit application with the Minnesota Housmg
Finance Agency (MHFA). At the time of their application, the CIty provIded a
letter of support indIcating that the city would consider tax mcrement financing
(TIF) aSSIstance if the project was awarded tax credits. In October, the Sand
Companies were notified that they had been selected as a recipient of tax credits
by the MHFA.
Over the past few months, staff and the developer have been working with the
City's financial advisor, Ehlers and AssocIates, to develop a TIF plan for thIS
project. The highlights of the proposed TIF plan are as follows:
. The project area includes only the parcel where the proposed 48-umt
apartment project will be located. No other parcels will be included m the
TIF district.
. ThIS wIll be a housing district pursuant to State of Minnesota statutes,
where at least 40% of the units will be occupied with persons at 60% of
median income and rents will be restricted to IRS guidelines.
· The duratton of the district is proposed to be 25 years after receipt of the
first increment by the City. The City can choose to decertify the district
prior to this ttme, but establishing it in this manner provided the greatest
flexibility for any unknown future projects.
· The district is estimated to produce $1,465,000 in increment over the ltfe
of the district.
The developer has receIved preliminary plat and SIte plan approvals for theIr 48-
umt apartment bUIlding to be located at the corner of new Highway 212 and
relocated Highway 101. The Sand Companies have indicated that 47 of the 48
umts WIll be affordable under federal and state gUIdelines, with the single
excluded umt being reserved for a caretaker. Rent and income restnctions for this
project are further explained m Appendix E of the proposed TIF plan.
ReqUIrements for establishmg a new Tax Increment Financmg dIstrict include a
revIew by the planmng commIssion to ensure conformance WIth the CIty'S

comprehenSIve plan. The Chanhassen Planning Commission revIewed the
proposed TIP plan on March 21, 2006, and approved a resolution stating that the
plan did conform wIth the City's comprehensive plan.
Another requirement, which staff IS recommending tonight, IS that the city council
hold a public hearing on the proposed TIP plan. Notice of the public hearing and
project location map was publIshed In the Chanhassen Villager on March 30,
2006.
The contract for private development, which outlines the terms of assIstance the
city will provide the developer, was presented to the Economic Development
Authority before tonight's city council meeting for separate approval, but WIll not
take effect unless the TIP plan is approved by the City CouncIl.
RECOMMENDA TION
Staff recommends that the Chanhassen City Council hold a public hearing for the
establIshment of Tax Increment Financing District #9 (a housing district) and then
approve the attached resolution approving creation of the distnct and the attached
plan. Approval of this item requires a majority of the City Council.

MOTION BY:
SECONDED BY:
RESOLUTION ADOPTING A MODIFICATION TO THE REDEVELOPMENT
PLAN FOR THE DOWNTOWN CHANHASSEN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
AREA AND ESTABLISHING TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO.9
THEREIN AND ADOPTING A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN
THEREFOR.
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the "Council") of the City of Chanhassen, Minnesota
(the "City"), as follows:
Section 1.
Recitals.
1.01. The Board of Commissioners (the "Board") of the Chanhassen Economic Development
Authority (the "EDA") has heretofore established the Downtown Chanhassen Redevelopment Project
Area and adopted a Redevelopment Plan therefore. It has been proposed by the EDA and City that the
City adopt a Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for the Downtown Chanhassen Redevelopment
Project Area (the "Redevelopment Plan Modification") and establish Tax Increment Financing District
No.9 (the "District") therein and adopt a Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIP Plan") therefore (the
Redevelopment Plan Modification and the TIP Plan are referred to collectively herein as the "Plans"); all
pursuant to and in conformity with applicable law, including Minnesota Statutes ("M.S."), Sections
469.090 to 469.1082 and Sections 469.174 to 469.1799, all inclusive, as amended, (the "Act") all as
reflected in the Plans, and presented for the Council's consideration.
1 02. The City has investigated the facts relating to the Plans and has caused the Plans to be
prepared.
1.03. The City has performed all actions required by law to be performed prior to the
establIshment of the District and the adoption and approval of the proposed Plans, including, but not
limited to, notification of Carver County and Independent School District No. 112 having taxing
jurisdiction over the property to be included in the District, a review of and written comment on the Plans
by the City Planning Commission, approval of the Plans by the EDA on April 10, 2006, and the holding
of a public hearing upon published notice as required by law.
1.04. Certain written reports (the "Reports") relating to the Plans and to the actIvIties
contemplated therein have heretofore been prepared by staff and consultants and submitted to the Council
and/or made a part of the City files and proceedings on the Plans. The Reports include data, information
and/or substantiation constituting or relating to the basis for the other findings and determinations made in
this resolution. The Council hereby confirms, ratifies and adopts the Reports, which are hereby
incorporated into and made as fully a part of this resolution to the same extent as if set forth in full herein.
1.05. The City is not modifying the boundaries of the Downtown Chanhassen Redevelopment
Project Area but is, however, modifying the Redevelopment Plan therefore.
Section 2.
Findings for the Adoption and Approval of the Plans.
2.01. The Council hereby finds that the Plans, are intended and, in the judgment of this
Council, the effect of such actions will be, to provide an impetus for development in the public interest
and accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Plans, which are hereby incorporated herein.
Section 3.
Findings for the Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No.9.
3.01. The Council hereby finds that Tax Increment Financing District No.9 is in the public
interest and is a "housing district" under M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 11 and M.S. Section 469.1761, and
a "qualified housing district" under M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 29.
3.02. The Council further finds that the proposed development would not occur solely through
private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future, that the Plans conform to the general plan for
the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole; and that the Plans 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.
3.04. The City elects to calculate fiscal disparities for the District in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause a, which means the fiscal disparities contribution
would be taken from outside the District. It is not anticipated that the District will contain
commerciaVindustrial property. As a result, there should be no impact due to the fiscal disparities
provision on the District.
3.04. The Council further finds, declares and determines that the City made the above findings
stated in this Section and has set forth the reasons and supporting facts for each determination in writing,
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Section 4.
Public Purpose
4.01. The adoption of the Plans conforms in all respects to the requirements of the Act and will
help fulfill a need to provide housing opportunities, to improve the tax base and to improve the general
economy of the State and thereby serves a public purpose.
Section 5.
Approval and Adoption of the Plans.
5.01. The Plans, as presented to the Council on this date, including without limitation the
findings and statements of objectives contained therein, are hereby approved, ratified, established, and
adopted and shall be placed on file in the office of the City Manager.
5.02. The staff of the City, the City's advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed to
proceed with the implementation of the Plans and to negotiate, draft, prepare and present to this Council
for its consideration all further plans, resolutions, documents and contracts necessary for this purpose.
5.03 The Auditor of Carver County is requested to certify the original net tax capacity of the
District, as described in the Plans, and to certify in each year thereafter the amount by which the original
net tax capacity has increased or decreased; and the City is authorized and directed to forthwith transmit
this request to the County Auditor in such form and content as the Auditor may specify, together with a
list of all properties within the District, for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months
immediately preceding the adoption of this resolution.
5.04. The City Manager or EDA Director is further authorized and directed to file a copy of the
Plans with the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Revenue and the Office of the State
Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 469.175, Subd. 4a.
Passed and adopted by the Chanhassen City Council this 10th day of April, 2006.
ATTEST:
Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
Thomas A. Furlong, Mayor
YES
NO
ABSENT
(Seal)
EXHIBIT A
RESOLUTION NO.
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan (TIP Plan)
for Tax Increment Financing District No.9 (District), as required pursuant to Minnesota Statutes (M.S.), Section
469.175, Subd. 3 are as follows:
1. Finding that the District is a housing district, as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 11 and M.S.
Section 469.1761, and a qualified housing district as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 29.
The District consists of a portion of one existing parcel. The City is currently working with the land owner
to plat this portion of the property into several parcels, one of which will remain in the District. The
development will consist of 48 units of rental housing. At least 40% of the rental units must be occupied
with persons at 60% of median income and rents will be restricted to Section 42 (g) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986. No more than 20% of the square footage of buildings that receive assistance from tax
increments may consist of commercial, retail, or other nonresidential uses. Appendix E of the TIP Plan
contains background for the above finding.
2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not reasonably be
expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future: This finding
is supported by the fact that the development proposed in this plan is a housing district that meets the City's
objectives for development and redevelopment. The cost of land acquisition, site and public improvements
and utilities makes this affordable housing development infeasible wIthout City assistance. Due to the high
cost of building affordable new housing in the City and the cost of financing the proposed public
improvements, this project is feasible only through assistance, in part, from tax increment financing. The
developer was asked for and provided a letter and a proforma as justification that the developer would not
have gone forward with an affordable rental housing project without tax increment assistance (see
attachment in Appendix F of the TIP Plan).
The tax increment and other project funding provided by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency will
reduce the rents on the Chanhassen Gateway Place rental housing project. Without tax increment, the
project developer has stated that he will construct a market-rate residential rental housing project. The
assessed market value of rental housing is the same, whether or not the rents are reduced through federal,
state, and local assistance. To summarize this finding:
a. The amount by which the market value of the site will increase without the use of tax increment
financing is estimated to be $4,348,880.
b. The increase in the market value that will result from the proposed development to be assisted with tax
increment financing is estimated to be $4,348,880. (See Appendix F of TIP Plan).
c. The present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the district permitted by
the tax increment financing plan is estimated to be $656,034. (See Appendix F of TIP Plan)
3. Finding that the TlF Plan for the District conforms to the general plan for the development or
redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The Planning Commission reviewed the TIP Plan and found that the TIP Plan conforms to the general
development plan of the City.
4. Finding that the TlF Plan for the District will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound
needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the Downtown Chanhassen
Redevelopment Project Area by private enterprise.
Through the implementation of the TIP Plan, the City will provide an impetus for affordable residential
development, which is desirable or necessary to serve the City's increasing population and an increasing
need for life-cycle housing within the City.

In meeting the statutory criteria the City relies on the following facts and findmgs:
The District is a housing district consistmg of a portion of one existing parcel. The CIty is currently
working with the land owner to plat this portion of the property mto several parcels, one of which will
remain m the DIstrict.
The development will consist of 48 units of rental housing.
At least 40% of the rental units must be occupied with persons at 60% of medIan income and rents will
be restricted to Section 42 (g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
No more than 20% ofthe square footage of buildings that receIve assistance from tax mcrements may
consist of commercIal, retail, or other nonresIdential uses.
Subsection 2-7. Duration of the District
Pursuant to MS. Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the duration of the District must
be indicated within the TIF Plan. Pursuant to MS, Section 469.176, Subd. 1b, the duration of the District
will be 25 years after receipt of the first increment by the City (a total of26 years oftax increment). The date
of receIpt by the City of the first tax increment is expected to be 2008. Thus, it IS estImated that the Distnct,
includmg any modIfications of the TIF Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after
2033, or when the TIF Plan is satisfied. Ifincrement is received in 2007, the term of the District will be 2032.
The CIty reserves the right to decertify the DIstrict prior to the legally required date.
Subsection 2-8. Original Tax Capacity, Tax Rate and Estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity
Value/Increment and Notification of Prior Planned Improvements
Pursuant to MS, Section 469 174, Subd. 7 and MS, Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the Original Net Tax CapacIty
(ONTC) as certified for the District will be based on the market values placed on the property by the assessor
In 2005 for taxes payable 2006.
Pursuant to MS, Section 469.177, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall certIfy in each year (begmning
in the payment year 2008) the amount by which the origmal value has increased or decreased as a result of:
1. Change m tax exempt status of property;
2. ReductIon or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district;
3. Change due to adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements;
4. Change in the use of the property and classIfication;
5. Change in state law governing class rates; or
6. Change m previously issued building permits.
In any year In whIch the current Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value of the District declInes below the ONTC, no
value will be captured and no tax increment will be payable to the CIty.
The ongmal local tax rate for the Dlstnct will be the local tax rate for taxes payable 2006, assuming the
request for certificatIOn is made before June 30, 2006. The ONTC and the Origmal Local Tax Rate for the
Distnct appear m the table on the following page.
Pursuant to MS. Section 469.174 Subd. 4 and MS, Section 469177, Subd. 1, 2, and 4, the estimated
Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) ofthe Dlstnct, withm the Downtown Chanhassen Redevelopment Project
Area, upon completIon ofthe proJect, will annually approximate tax mcrement revenues as shown m the table
on the folloWIng page. The City requests 100 percent of the aVaIlable increase In tax capacity for repayment
of ItS obligations and current expenditures, beginning m the tax year payable 2008. The Project Tax Capacity

tax capacity rate of .75%, which would reduce the estimated annual tax increment.
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the City shall, after a due and diligent search, accompany its
request for certification to the County Auditor or its notice of the District enlargement pursuant to MS,
Section 469.175, Subd. 4, with a listing of all properties WIthin the District or area of enlargement for which
buIlding permits have been Issued during the eighteen (18) months immedIately preceding approval of the
TIF Plan by the municipality pursuant to MS., Section 469.175, Subd. 3. The County Auditor shall increase
the original net tax capacity of the DIstrict by the net tax capacity of improvements for which a building
permit was issued.
The City has reviewed the area to be included in the District and determined that no building permits
have been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the City.
Subsection 2-9. Sources of Revenue/Bonded Indebtedness
Public improvement costs, acqulSltIOn, relocation, utilities, housing Improvements, streets and SIdewalks, and
SIte preparation costs and other costs outhned in the Uses of Funds wIll be financed pnmarily through the
annual collection of tax increments. The City reserves the right to use other sources of revenue legally ap-
plicable to the CIty and the TIF Plan, including, but not limIted to, special assessments, general property
taxes, state aid for road maintenance and construction, proceeds from the sale of land, other contributions
from the developer and mvestment income, to pay for the estImated public costs.
The City reserves the right to mcur bonded indebtedness or other indebtedness as a result of the TIF Plan.
As presently proposed, the project will be financed by a pay-as-you-go note. AdditIOnal mdebtedness may
be required to finance other authonzed activitIes. The total prinCIpal amount of bonded mdebtedness,
mcluding a general obligation (GO) TIF bond, or other mdebtedness related to the use of tax mcrement
financing will not exceed $950,000 without a modification to the TIF Plan pursuant to applicable statutory
reqUlrements. Of the $950,000 m bonded indebtedness, it IS estImated that $200,000 m mterfund loans and
$750,000 m bond pnncipal or TIF note prinCIpal will be financed WIth tax mcrement revenues.
This proVIsIOn does not obhgate the CIty to mcur debt. The City WIll Issue bonds or mcur other debt only
upon the determinatIOn that such actIon is in the best interest of the City. The CIty may also finance the ac-
tiVItIes to be undertaken pursuant to the TIF Plan through loans from funds of the City or to reImburse the
developer on a "pay-as-you-go" baSIS for ehgible costs paid for by a developer.

before an expenditure.
Subsection 2-10. Uses of Funds
Currently under consideration for the Distnct is a proposal to facilitate construction of 48 units of affordable
rental housing near the intersection of the new Highway 212 and relocated Highway 101. The City has
determined that It will be necessary to provide assistance to the project for certam costs. The City has studied
the feasibilIty of the development or redevelopment of property in and around the District. To facilItate the
establIshment and development or redevelopment of the Distnct, this TIF Plan authorizes the use of tax
increment financing to pay for the cost of certain eligible expenses. The estimate of publIc costs and uses of
funds associated with the District is outlined in the following table.

The other financing uses list on the previous page is included for purposes of OSA reporting for the TIF
District. It IS not mtended to be cumulatIve. Transfers are included in case money is moved from one fund
to another before an expenditure. TIF is expected to be used for the project costs hsted on the prevIOUS page,
WhICh IS a not-to-exceed budget rather than an expected budget of costs.
It is estimated that the cost of Improvements, mcluding administrative expenses and financing WhICh will be
paid or financed with tax increments, will equal $3,165,000, which includes all authonzed obligations, as is
presented in the budget on the previous page.
Estimated costs assocIated with the Distnct are subject to change among categories without a modification
to this TIF Plan. The cost of all actIvIties to be considered for tax increment financing wIll not exceed,
without formal modification, the budget above pursuant to the applicable statutory reqUlrements. The City
may expend funds for qualified housing activities outsIde of the District boundanes.
Subsection 2-11.
Fiscal Disparities Election
Pursuant to MS, Section 469.177, Subd. 3, the CIty may elect one of two methods to calculate fiscal
disparities. If the calculations pursuant to MS., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause a, (outside the District) are
followed, the following method of computation shall apply:
(1) The original net tax capacity and the current net tax capacity shall be determined before the
application of the fiscal disparity provisions of Chapter 276A or 473F. Where the original net
tax capacity is equal to or greater than the current net tax capacity, there is no captured net tax
capacity and no tax increment determination. Where the original net tax capacity is less than
the current net tax capacity, the difference between the original net tax capacity and the current
net tax capacity is the captured net tax capacity. This amount less any portion thereof which the
authority has designated, in its tax increment financing plan, to share with the local taxing
districts is the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority.
(2) The county auditor shall exclude the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority from the
net tax capacity of the local taxing districts in determining local taxing district tax rates The
local tax rates so determined are to be extended against the retained captured net tax capacity
of the authority as well as the net tax capacity of the local taxing districts The tax generated by
the extension of the lesser of (A) the local taxing district tax rates or (B) the original local tax
rate to the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority is the tax increment of the
authority
The City will choose to calculate fiscal disparities by clause a. It is not anticipated that the District will
contain commercial/industrial property. As a result, there should be no impact due to the fiscal
disparities provision on the District.
According to MS , Section 469.177, Subd. 3
(c) The method of computation of tax increment applied to a district pursuant to paragraph (a) or
(b) shall remain the same for the duration of the district, except that the governing body may
elect to change its election from the method of computation in paragraph (a) to the method in
paragraph (b)

Subsection 2-13. County Road Costs
Pursuant to MS , Section 469.175, Subd. 1 a, the county board may reqmre the City to pay for all or part of
the cost of county road improvements if the proposed development to be assisted by tax increment will, in
the judgement of the county, substantially increase the use of county roads requiring construction of road
improvements or other road costs and If the road improvements are not scheduled wIthin the next five years
under a capItal improvement plan or within five years under another county plan.
The County roads that serve the housing development were scheduled for reconstruction as part of the
County's five year capital improvement plan prior to the proposed development of the rental housmg. The
reconstruction and realignment of Highway 101 was planned as part of the construction of the new state
Highway 212/312.
If the county elects to use increments to improve county roads, it must notify the City within forty-five days
of receipt of this TIF Plan. In the opinion of the City and consultants, the proposed development outlined
in this TIF Plan wlll have little or no impact upon county roads; therefore the TIF Plan was not forwarded
to the county 45 days pnor to the pubhc hearing. The CIty is aware that the county could claIm that tax
increment should be used for county roads, even after the public heanng.
Subsection 2-14. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
The estImated Impact on other taxmgJurisdictlOns assumes that the redevelopment contemplated by the TIF
Plan would occur without the creation of the District. However, the CIty has determined that such
development or redevelopment would not occur "but for" tax mcrement financing and that, therefore, the
fiscal impact on other taxmg jurisdIctions IS $0. The estImated fiscal Impact of the District would be as
follows if the "but for" test was not met:

The estimates lIsted on the previous page display the captured tax capacIty when all construction is
completed. The tax rate used for calculations is the actua12005/Pay 2006 rate. The total net capacity for the
entities lIsted on the previous page are based on actual Pay 2006 figures. The calculation above estimates
the captured tax capacity using tax capacity rate of 1.25% for rental housing. It is anticipated that the
Chanhassen Gateway housing project will be eligible for the reduced tax capacity rate of. 75%, which would
reduce the estimated fiscal impacts of the District.
Pursuant to MS. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b):
(1) It is estImated that the total amount of tax mcrement that will be generated over the life of the
DIstrict IS $1,465,000;
(2) An Impact of the DIStriCt on police protection is expected. The development of vacant land mto
residential rental housing is expected to generate an estimated two additional polIce calls per week
(104 calls annually). This estimate is based upon comparable property types and cannot be
considered a scientifically valId crime analysis. The CIty currently contracts with the Carver
County Shenffs Department for police services. The City does not expect that the proposed
development, in and of itself, will necessitate new capital investment in vehicles or facilities, or
reqUIre that the CIty expand ItS contract WIth Carver County. However, there may be an increase
m calls for service to the general area due to the increased traffic at the intersection of the new
Highway 212 and relocated Highway 101 and nearby development planned for the adjacent sites
that are not in the tax increment district.
The probable impact of the proposed project on fire protection and emergency medical services
would be approximately 1 call per week (52 annually) mcludmg medICal, false alarms, and traffic
accidents. New construction requires the building to be sprinkled, so fire risk IS minimized. Most
calls will be medical emergencies or vehicle accidents. The City has already planned to construct
a new fire station in 2007-2008.
The Impact ofthe Distnct on PublIc Works is expected to be minimal. The road and infrastructure
improvements around the site are being completed as part of the construction ofthe new HIghway
212/312, and were planned regardless of this housmg development being constructed. Other
infrastructure costs related to thIS specific land use, including samtary and storm sewer
Improvements, will be assessed to the property. The project is expected to pay sewer and water
connection fees totaling $349,344, which will be used, in part, to pay for the new water treatment
plant under construction.
The probable impact ofborrowmg costs is expected to be mimmal. It IS not anticipated that there
will be any general obligation debt Issued in relation to this project, therefore there will be no
Impact on the City's ability to issue future debt or on the City's debt limIt.
(3) It IS estimated that the amount of tax mcrements over the lIfe of the DIstrict that would be
attributable to school dIstrict levies, assuming the school distnct's share ofthe total local tax rate
for all taxmg jurisdictIOns remained the same IS $463,710;
(4) It is estImated that the amount of tax mcrements 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 taxmg
junsdIctIons remained the same IS $577,174;

2. Increase m amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred;
3. A determmatIOn to capItalize interest on debt if that determination was not a part ofthe onginal TIF
Plan, or to mcrease or decrease the amount of mterest on the debt to be capitalized;
4. Increase m the portIOn of the captured net tax capacity to be retained by the City;
5. Increase in the estimate ofthe cost of the project, mcludmg administrative expenses, that wIll be paid
or financed with tax mcrement from the Distnct; or

Pursuant to MS. Section 469.175 Subd. 4(f), the geographIc area of the District may be reduced, but shall not
be enlarged after five years following the date of certification of the ongInal net tax capacity by the county
auditor. If a housing district is enlarged, the reasons and supportIng facts for the determinatIOn that the
addition to the dIstrict meets the critena of MS., Section 469.174, Subd. 11 must be documented. The
requirements of this paragraph do not apply if (1) the only modIfication is elimination of parcel( s) from the
Downtown Chanhassen Redevelopment Project Area or the DIstnct and (2) (A) the current net tax capacity
of the parcel(s) elIminated from the DIstnct equals or exceeds the net tax capacIty of those parcel(s) In the
District's ongInal net tax capacIty or (B) the City agrees that, notwithstanding MS., Section 469 177, Subd.
1, the ongInal net tax capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net tax capacity of the parcel(s)
elimInated from the District.
The City must notify the County Auditor of any modification that reduces or enlarges the geographic area
of the Downtown Chanhassen Redevelopment Project Area or the DIstrict. Modifications to the District in
the form of a budget modification or an expanSIOn of the boundaries will be recorded In the TIF Plan.
Subsection 2-18. Administrative Expenses
In accordance wIth MS., Section 469.174, Subd. 14, administratIve expenses means all expendItures of the
CIty, other than:
I. Amounts patd for the purchase of land;
2. Amounts patd to contractors or others providing matenals and services, Including archItectural and
engIneenng services, directly connected 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; or
4. Amounts used to pay pnncipal or interest on, fund a reserve for, or sell at a dIscount bonds Issued
pursuant to MS , Section 469.178; or
5. Amounts used to pay other financial obligations to the extent those obligations were used to finance
costs described in clauses (1) to (3).
For distncts for which the request for certIficatIOn were made before August 1, 1979, or after June 30, 1982,
administrative expenses also include amounts patd for services provIded by bond counsel, fiscal consultants,
and planning or economic development consultants. Pursuant to MS., Section 469176, Subd. 3, tax
Increment may be used to pay any authorized and documented adminIstrative expenses for the District up
to but not to exceed 10 percent of the total estimated tax Increment expenditures authonzed by the TIF Plan
or the total tax Increments, as defined by MS., Section 469.174, Subd. 25, clause (1), from the DIstnct,
whichever IS less.
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.176, Subd. 4h, tax Increments may be used to pay for the County's actual
admInIstratIve expenses incurred In connection with the DIstnct. The county may reqUire payment of those
expenses by February 15 of the year following the year the expenses were Incurred.
Pursuant to MS., Section 469. 177, Subd. 11, the County Treasurer shall deduct an amount (currently .36
percent) of any Increment dIstributed to the City and the County Treasurer shall pay the amount deducted to
the State Treasurer for depOSIt in the state general fund to be appropnated to the State AudItor for the cost
of finanCial reporting of tax Increment financing Information and the cost of examining and auditing

Subsection 2-19. Limitation of Increment
The tax increment pledged to the payment of bonds and interest thereon may be discharged and the DIstrict
may be terminated if sufficient funds have been irrevocably deposited in the debt service fund or other escrow
account held in trust for all outstanding bonds to provide for the payment of the bonds at maturity or
redemption date.
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.176, Subd. 6:
if, after four years from the date of certification of the original net tax capacity of the tax increment
financing district pursuant to MS., Section 469.177, no demolition, rehabilitation or renovation of
property or other site preparation, including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to a parcel
but not installation of utility service including sewer or water systems, has been commenced on a
parcel located within a tax increment financing district by the authority or by the owner of the parcel
in accordance with the tax increment financing plan, no additional tax increment may be taken from
that parcel and the original net tax capacity of that parcel shall be excluded from the original net
tax capacity of the tax increment financing district. If the authority or the owner of the parcel
subsequently commences demolition, rehabilitation or renovation or other site preparation on that
parcel including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to that parcel, in accordance with the
tax increment financing plan, the authority shall certifY to the county auditor that the activity has
commenced and the county auditor shall certifY the net tax capacity thereof as most recently certified
by the commissioner of revenue and add it to the original net tax capacity of the tax increment
financing district. The county auditor must enforce the provisions of this subdivision. The authority
must submit to the county auditor evidence that the required activity has taken place for each parcel
in the district. The evidence for a parcel must be submitted by February 1 of the fifth year following
the year in which the parcel was certified as included in the district. For purposes of this subdivision,

Pursuant to MS., Section 469.176, Subd. 5, no more than 10 percent, by acreage, of the property to be
acqmred m the DIstrict as set forth in the TIF Plan shall at any tIme be owned by the City as a result of
acquisition with the proceeds of bonds issued pursuant to MS., Section 469 178 to which tax increments from
property acqUIred is pledged, unless prior to acqmsItIon m excess of 10 percent of the acreage, the City
concluded an agreement for the development of the property acquired and which provIdes recourse for the
CIty should the development not be completed.
Subsection 2-23. Assessment Agreements
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.177, Subd. 8, the City may enter into a wntten assessment agreement in
recordable form with the developer of property within the DIstrict which establishes a minimum market value
of the land and completed improvements for the duratIon of the District. The assessment agreement shall be
presented to the County Assessor who shall review the plans and specIficatIons for the improvements to be
constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land upon whIch the improvements are to be
constructed and, so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears, m the
judgment of the assessor, to be a reasonable estimate, the County Assessor shall also certify the mimmum
market value agreement.
Subsection 2-24. Administration of the District
AdmmIstration of the Distnct will be handled by the City Manager.
Subsection 2-25. Annual Disclosure Requirements
Pursuant to MS., Section 469.175, Subd. 5, 6, and 6b the City must undertake financial reporting for all tax
increment financing dIstricts to the Office of the State Auditor, County Board, County Auditor and School
Board on or before August 1 of each year. MS., Section 469.175, Subd. 5 also provides that an annual
statement shall be published m a newspaper of general circulation in the City on or before August 15.

469.175 Subd. 5 and Subd. 6, the OSA will direct the County Auditor to withhold the dIstributIon of tax
mcrement from the DIstrict.
Subsection 2-26. Reasonable Expectations
As requued by the TIF Act, m establishmg the District, the determmatlOn has been made that the antIcIpated
development would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value ofthe 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 subtractmg the present value of the projected tax
mcrements for the maximum duration of the DIstrict permitted by the TIF Plan. In makmg said
determmatIon, reliance has been placed upon written representation made by the developer to such effects
and upon CIty staff awareness of the feasibilIty of developing the project SIte. A comparative analYSIS of
estImated market values both wIth and without establIshment ofthe DIstrict and the use of tax increments has
been performed as described above. Such analysis is included wIth the cashflow in Appendix D, and
mdIcates that the mcrease m estimated market value of the proposed development (less the indicated
subtractions) exceeds the estimated market value of the SIte absent the establishment of the DIstnct and the
use of tax mcrements.

APPENDIX A
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project will consIst of 48 units of rental housing near the intersectIon of the new Highway 212 and
relocated Highway 101. Forty-seven (47) of the units will be restricted for rental to persons wIth incomes at
or below 60% of the area median income, adjusted for family size.
The Sand Compames has acquired the property at the northwest corner of new Highway 212 and the relocated
Highway 101. When completed, the entIre development will include 150 housing units and six acres of
commercial development. Only the site on which the Sand Companies intends to construct the 48 unit
apartment complex is included in the Tax Increment District.
The apartment project has received an award of federal housing tax credits and favorable financmg from the
Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. These funding sources, together with the proposed tax increment
assistance, will make 47 of the rental units initially affordable to families WIth incomes at or below 50% of
the median mcome.
It is anticipated that the project will be assisted with a "Pay-As-You-Go" Tax Increment Revenue Note issued
by the EDA. Under the terms of the Note, the EDA IS expected to pay 90% of the increment generated by
the project m Years 2009 through 2013, and 65% of the increment generated by the project m2014 and2015.

The two options for income limits on a qualified housing district are 20% of the units at 50% of median
income or 40% of the units at 60% of medIan income. At the time a dIstrict IS established, the project needs
to choose one of the options and meet those requirements for the life of the district. The City elects that 40%
of the units will be at 60% of the median income.

RE: Tax Increment Financing for Gateway Place.
Chanhassen, Minnesota.
Dear Honorable Mayor & City Council/EDA Members:
Chanhassen Gateway Place, LLC is requesting the use of pay-as-you-go tax increment
fmancing (TIF) for a 48 unit, affordable housing development in Chanhassen.
If the project does not receive the requested TIF assistance from the City and funding
from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, which has a TIP provision, we will not
proceed with the project as proposed. An alternate to the affordable housing project
would be a market rate apartment project with rents that will be significantly higher than
the housing goals of the City (see below). Although current market conditions would
have to improve before a market rate project would move forward.

We look forward to completing the project as proposed with the TIF assistance and
meeting the long-term affordability housing goals of the City. Thank you for your
consideration of our project.
