SUBJ:
Public Hearing; Consider Establishment of Development District No.6 and Tax
Increment District No.6-I.
Under Minnesota Statute, the city council must hold a public hearing when approving a tax
increment financing district (see Attachment #1). Staff has also prepared a development district
program outlining the public assistance needed to assist the developments within the boundaries
ofTIF District No. 6-1 (see Attachment #2). The plan's Statement of Objectives are to provide
the following:
1. Provide employment opportunities within the city.
2. Improve the tax base of the city and the general economy of the city and state.
3. Encourage development in areas of the city which have not been utilized to their full
potential.
4. Implement relevant portions of the Comprehensive Plan.
5. Provide funding for certain public roadway and infrastructure improvements which are
essential for full development of the Development District; specifically intersections,
roadways, sewer, water, water storage and park improvements.
Listed below are the estimated project costs:

Note: Some ofthe above funds will be spent directly for the cost of the listed improvements.
Other funds will be spent to reimburse qualified landowners for the cost of special assessments
levied to pay for the listed improvements.
The Planning Commission will be reviewing the plan at their May 21, 1997 meeting. Staff will
provide a verbal update on their action and whether or not they find the plan consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan on Monday evening.
Staffhas also provided notice to both Carver County and School District 112 (see Attachment
#3). No comments have been received, however, staff will be attending the May 29th District 112
School Board meeting to give an overview of the project.
The City Council also requested staff to prepare a conservative analysis of the tax increment
generated from the Gateway West project (see Attachment #4). In this analysis you will notice
that the example used does not generate enough increment to payoff the special assessment.
This was true when Chanhassen Lakes Business Park was developed. In the first 8 years, all of
the projects built in the park, only received special assessment write down due to high
assessment costs (trunk water and sewer, storm sewer, lateral water and sewer, roads, intersection
signals, etc.). Only after 8 to 9 years, when the specials were paid down, was there enough
increment available for land write down. Due to the length of this TlF District, 11 years and 9
years of collection, staff would not see the benefit of a land write occurring.
Mr. Don Ashworth
May 20, 1997

RECOMMENDATION
Based on this example, staff would recommend approving the resolution (Attachment #5)
adopting a Development District Program for Development District No.6 and Tax Increment
District No. 6-1 and providing financial assistance only in means of special assessment write-
down.
NOTE: If the City Council would like to table this action for further discussion, staff would
recommend that you approve the resolution adopting the Development District Program, so as to
beat the new TIF restrictions which go into effect June 1, 1997.

B. Statutory Authority
The City has determined that it is necessary, desirable and in the public interest to
establish Development District No.6, pursuant to the provisions of the Act. The City has also
determined that the funding of the necessary activities and improvements in Development District
No.6 shall be accomplished in part or in whole through tax increment financing in accordance
with the TIF Act.
C. Statement of Public Purpose
It is found that there is a need for the City to offer assistance for a 102 acre industrial
development proposed to be constructed within the City. The project will be constructed in
phases beginning in 1997 and ending in 2002. The effect of the project will be to increase
employment opportunities, improve the tax base and improve the general economy of Chanhassen
and the State. In order to accomplish this purpose, the City intends to incur those costs and
expenses specified in the Plan for TIF District No.6-I.
D. Statement of Objectives
The Authority seeks to achieve the following objectives through the Development District
Program:
1. promote and secure the prompt development of property in Development
District No.6 in a manner consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and with minimal
adverse impact on the environment, which property is currently less productive because
of the lack of proper utilization and lack of investment, thus promoting and securing the
development of other land in Chanhassen;
2. encourage additional employment opportunities within Development District
No.6 and Chanhassen for residents of the community and the surrounding area, thereby
improving living standards and preventing unemployment and the loss of skilled labor and
other human resources in the area;
3. secure the increase of property subject to taxation by the City, County,
School District and other taxing jurisdictions in order to better enable such entities to pay
for public improvements and governmental services and programs required to be provided
by them;
4. promote the concentration of appropriate industrial uses and related
development within Development District No.6 in order to develop the area in a manner
compatible with its highest and best use; and
5. encourage development within the District which is aesthetically pleasing
and which creates a positive visual image of the community.
RHB121772
CH130-64

E. Environmental Controls
It is not anticipated that any development within the Development District will present
environmental concerns which cannot be accommodated through compliance with applicable laws.
Because of the size of the proposed development, mandatory environment review will occur.
Portions of Development District No.6 contain wetlands. The Development District will contain
at least 15 acres of wetlands and 10 acres of upland woods. About 36 acres will be included in
a city park. The City will require that the developer comply with all statutes, regulations and
ordinances when developing any land within the District. All public improvements and private
development will be constructed and carried out in compliance with applicable environmental
standards.
F. Open Space to be Created
Open space within the Development District will be created in accordance with the
development controls of the City and will be adequate for the needs of the residents of the
community as well as those who work in or visit the Development District. A portion of the
Development District will be devoted to park purposes, which will serve the community at large
as well as the recreational needs of persons employed within the industrial park.
G. Public Facilities to be Constructed
All public facilities constructed within the Development District will be financially
feasible and compatible with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
H. Proposed Reuse of Property
The City does not intend to acquire property within Development District No.6. Property
within the Development District will be reused in accordance with the City's ordinances and
Comprehensive Plan as well as with this Program and the Plan for TIF District No.6-I. No
property will be acquired or sold by the City without entering into an agreement with the
developer regarding the specific reuse of the land.
I. Development District Financing
Within Development District No.6, the City will establish TIF District No. 6-1 to finance
the cost of development activities. Project costs for TIF District No. 6-1 will be met at least in
part through pledged increment. Details of project cost are contained in the TIF Plan which
follows this Program.

J. Relocation
Although no relocation is anticipated in connection with any project within Development
District No.6, the City accepts its responsibility for providing for relocation pursuant to section
469.133 of the Act. If relocation is necessary, provision will be made in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes, sections 117.50 through 117.56, as amended.
K. Administration of Development District
Maintenance and operation of the public improvements is the responsibility of the
administrator of Development District No.6. The administrator will be appointed by the City
Council. Each year the administrator will submit to the City the maintenance and operation
budget for the following year. The administrator will administer the Development District
pursuant to the provisions of section 469.131 of the Act; provided, however, that such powers
may only be exercised at the direction of the City. No action taken by the administrator shall
be effective without authorization by the City. The City has not and does not anticipate the need
to create an advisory board to advise it on the planning, construction or implementation of the
activities and improvements outlined in the Development Program.
L. Map of Development District
A map of the area to be included within Development District No.6 is attached hereto
as Exhibit A.

SECTION II. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
DISTRICT No.6-I.
A. Statutory Authority. Pursuant to section 469.175, subd 4 of the TIF Act, the City
is authorized to establish tax increment financing districts to facilitate and provide financing for
the development objectives articulated in the Development District Program. At the time of the
adoption of the Program for Development District No.6, the City also intends to establish TIF
District No. 6-1 pursuant to the TIF Act.
B. Statement of Objectives. The City seeks to achieve the following objectives
through the establishment of TIF District No. 6-1;
1. provide employment opportunities within the City;
2. improve the tax base of the City and the general economy of the City and
State;
3. encourage development in areas of the City which have not been utilized
to their full potential;
4. provide funding for certain public roadway and infrastructure improvements
which are essential for full development of the Development District; and
5. implement relevant portions of the Comprehensive Plan.
The City's specific objective in establishing TIF District No. 6-1 is to provide for
intersection, roadway, sewer and water, water storage, and park improvements in the vicinity of
a large industrial area. The development will be phased between 1997 and 2002 and will involve
an estimated total of 909,358 sq. ft. of space when completed.
C. Statement of Public Purpose. In adopting the Plan for TIF District No. 6-1, the
City will make the following findings:
1. Anticipated development would not reasonably be expected to occur solely
through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and, therefore, the use
of TIF is deemed necessary;
2. The TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound
needs of the City as a whole, for development of the Development District by private
enterprise;
3. The TIF Plan conforms to general plans for development of the City as a
whole; and
4. The area included within TIF District No. 6-1 qualifies as an economic
development TIF district within the meaning of the TIF Act.
The conclusions to be reached by the City Council regarding the above will be based upon
the recommendations of city staff and the planning commission as well as the familiarity
of members of the City Council with the properties involved and the likelihood that those
properties will develop within the reasonably foreseeable future solely through private
efforts. The City Council's conclusions will also be based on a calculation that the
RHB121772
CH130-64
5
increased market value of the land within TIF District No. 6-1 which could reasonably
be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the
increase in market value estimated to result from the proposed development after
subtracting the present value of the projected tax increment for the maximum duration of
the TIF District.
D. Development District Program. At the time of the establishing TIF District No.
6-1, the City also intends to adopt a Program for Development District No.6. The plan for
development of the City outlined in the Program will provide the basis of the City's efforts to
develop portions of the community which have not and remain unlikely to be developed solely
through private efforts. The Plan for TIF District No. 6-1 is consistent with the Program for
Development District No.6.
E. Description of TIF District. The TIF District is composed of five parcels. The
property identification numbers of the parcels and a map of the boundaries of TIF District No.
6-1 is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
F. Development District Contracts. The City has not yet entered into a development
contract with regard to the development of any property within TIF District No.6-I. Contracts
regarding property with TIF District No. 6-1 will be entered into in accordance with section
469.176, subd 5 of the TIF Act.
G. Classification of TIF District. TIF District No. 6-1 qualifies as an economic
development TIF district, pursuant to section 469.174, subd. 12 of the TIF Act.
H. Modification ofTIF Plan. The Plan for TIF District No. 6-1 may be modified by
the City, provided that any enlargement of the geographic area of the TIF District, increase in
amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred, including a determination to capitalize interest on
the debt if that determination was not a part of the original Plan, or to increase or decrease the
amount of interest on the debt to be capitalized, increase in the portion of the captured tax
capacity to be retained by the City, increase in total estimated tax increment expenditures or
designation of additional property to be acquired by the City shall be approved upon the notice
and after such discussion, public hearing and findings as required for approval of the original
Plan.
1. Use of Tax Increment. Pursuant to section 469.176, subd 4 of the TIF Act, all
revenues derived from TIF District No. 6-1 shall be used in accordance with the TIF Plan. The
revenues shall be used to finance or otherwise pay the capital and administrative costs of
development activities within the Project as identified in the Program and Plan.
J. Excess Tax Increment. Pursuant to section 469.176, subd 2 of the TIF Act, in any
year in which the increment exceeds the amount necessary to pay the costs authorized by the TIF
RHB121772
CH130-64
6
Plan, the City shall use the excess amount to do any of the following, in the order determined
by the City:
1. prepay the outstanding bonds or other obligations;
2. discharge the pledge of tax increment therefor;
3. pay into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of bonds or other
obligations; or
4. return the excess amount to the County auditor who shall distribute the
excess amount to the City, the County and School District in direct proportion to their
respective tax capacity rates.
The City may also choose to modify the TIF Plan in order to provide for other public
expenditures within the Project.
K. Limitation of Increment.
1. No increment shall be paid to the City from TIF District No. 6-1 after three
years from the date of certification of the original tax capacity of the property in the TIF
district by the County auditor unless within the three year period (a) bonds have been
issued pursuant to section 469.178 of the TIF Act, or (b) the City has acquired property
within TIF District No.6-I, or (c) the City has constructed or caused to be constructed
public improvements within TIF District No.6-I.
2. If, after four years from the date of certification of the original tax capacity
of TIF District No. 6-1, no demolition, rehabilitation, or renovation of property or other
site preparation, including qualified improvement of a street or right-of-way adjacent to
a parcel but not installation of underground utility service, including sewer or water
systems, have been commenced on a parcel located within TIF District No. 6-1 by the
City, or by the owner of the parcel in accordance with the TIF Plan, no additional
increment may be taken from that parcel, and the original tax capacity of that parcel shall
be excluded from the original tax capacity of the TIF District. If one of these activities
subsequently commences, the City shall so certify to the County auditor, and the tax
capacity of the property as most recently certified by the commissioner of revenue may
be added to the TIF District.
3. No tax increment shall in any event be paid to the City from TIF District
No. 6-1 after nine years from the date of receipt by the City of the first increment or 11
years from the date of approval of the Plan, whichever occurs first.
L. Limitation on Administrative EXDenses. Pursuant to section 469.176, subd 3 of
the TIF Act, Administrative Expenses are limited to 10 percent of the total tax increment
expenditures budgeted or actually incurred, whichever is less. Each time the City increases the
budget of TIF District No.6-I, the amount of increment allocated to Administrative Expenses
may be increased as long as the total of Administrative Expenses does not exceed 10 percent of
the total budget of the TIF District.
RHB121772
CH130-64

M. Limitation on Boundary Changes. The geographic area of TIF District No. 6-1
may be reduced, but cannot be enlarged after five years following the date of certification of the
original tax capacity by the County auditor.
N. Relocation. Although no relocation is anticipated, the City accepts as binding its
obligations under state law regarding relocation benefits and, if necessary, will administer
relocation services for families, individuals and businesses displaced by public action.
O. Parcels to Be Acquired Within the TIF District. It is not anticipated that the City
will acquire any property within TIF District No. 6-1, except such easements or other interests
in property as may be necessary to complete roadway and other infrastructure improvements.
P. TIF Account. The tax increment received with respect to the TIF District No. 6-1
shall be segregated by the City in a special account on its official books and records.

amount not to exceed $7,950,000 to finance the public costs authorized by the Plan for TIF
District No.6-I. The City may sell general obligation bonds to finance the public improvements
within the TIF District. The City may also enter into a "pay-as-you-go" revenue obligation with
the developers of industrial facilities to reduce their special assessment obligations.
RHB121772
CH130-64

s. Original Tax Capacity and Tax Increment. Pursuant to section 469.177, subd. 1
of the TIF Act, the original tax capacity for TIF District No. 6-1 is $13,407. Each year the
County auditor will measure the increase or decrease in the total tax capacity of property in the
TIF district. Any year in which the tax capacity of TIF District No. 6-1 exceeds $13,407, an
increment will be payable to the City. Any year in which the tax capacity is below $13,407, no
value will be captured and no increment will be payable to the City.
Each year after the certification of the original tax capacity, the County auditor will
increase or decrease the original tax capacity of property within TIF District No. 6-1 as a result
of:
1. change in the tax exempt status of the property;
2. reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the TIF District;
or
3. reduction of valuation by means of a court-ordered abatement, stipulation
agreement, voluntary abatement made by the assessor or auditor or by order of the
Minnesota commissioner of revenue.
In addition, each year the auditor will adjust the original tax capacity of the property
within TIF District No. 6-1 in compliance with the requirements of section 469.177, subd. 1(t)
of the TIF Act.
T. Duration of the TIF District. In accordance with section 469.176, subd 1 of the
TIF Act, the City wishes to retain its right to receive TIF payments until nine years from the date
of the receipt of the first increment, or 11 years from the date of approval of the Plan, whichever
first occurs.
u. Estimate of Captured Tax Capacity. Pursuant to sections 469.175, subd. 1 and
469.177, subd. 2 of the TIF Act, the estimated net captured tax capacity ofTIF District No.6-I,
will be $2,127,455 after completion of all proposed improvements in 2002. The captured tax
capacity was estimated in the following manner:
Tax Capacity After Completion (2002)
Original Tax Capacity
Captured Tax Capacity
$2,140,862
13,407
$2,127,455
Pursuant to section 469.177, subd. 2 of the TIF Act, it is found and declared that all of
the captured tax capacity generated by TIF District No. 6-1 is necessary to finance or otherwise
make permissible expenditures authorized by section 469.176, subd. 4 of the TIF Act.
v. Estimate ofImpact on Other Taxing Jurisdiction. In is anticipated that $3,169,908
in increment will be captured annually within TIF District No.6-I. This increment amount is
based on the value of the development following completion of all development in 2002. For
the purposes of estimating increment during the life of TIF District No. 6-1, no inflation has been
assumed in the value of the new development. The composite original tax capacity rate for the
affected property is 147.611 percent. Applying the percentage of the total tax capacity rate
RHB121772
CH130-64
9
attributable to each taxing jurisdiction to the annual increment of $3,169,908 reveals the annual
"loss" of tax dollars by each jurisdiction if the projects would have occurred without TIF.
Although the City believes the actual impact on other taxing jurisdictions is zero because
development would not have occurred within the reasonably foreseeable future without public
intervention, the assumed amount of tax dollars foregone by each jurisdiction is listed below:

Analysis of the Potential Benefits in Creating a Tax Increment Financing District
for the Gateway West Project
The City Council has requested staff to provide conservation analysis of the potential benefits in
creating a tax increment financing district for the Gateway West project. In the Gateway
Business Park development summary, they are proposing to build 1,156,937 square feet of office
industrial. Based on this information, staff reduced the development by 50% and produced the
following total amounts of incentive available for city public improvements as follows:

It should be noted that the city can only use TIF for the costs associated with the
industrial portion of development, not the commercial/retail. However, you can collect a
100% of commercial/retail increment to assist the industrial or write-down public
improvements benefiting just the industrial.

Based on this example, there would not be enough money to cover all the specials, thus, the property
owner would not qualify for a land-write down. The same would be for any other development.

RESOLUTION ADOPTING A DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
PROGRAM FOR DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 6 AND A
T AX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT
FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 6-1
BE IT RESOLVED By the City Council (the "Council") of the City of Chanhassen,
Minnesota (the "City") as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. It has been proposed that the City establish Development District No.6 pursuant
to Minnesota Statutes, ~~ 469.124 through 469.134 and create Tax Increment Financing District
No. 6-1 pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, gg 469.174 through 469.179 within Development District
No.6.
1.02. The Council has investigated the facts and has caused to be prepared a development
district program (the "Program") describing the public assistance needed within Development
District No.6 and a tax increment financing plan (the "Plan") describing the specific acts to be
taken to assist development within the boundaries of Tax Increment Financing District No.6-I.
1.03. The City has performed all actions required by law to be performed prior to the
establishment of Development District No.6 and Tax Increment Financing District No. 6-1 and
the adoption of a Program and Plan relating thereto, including, but not limited to, notification of
Carver county and Independent School District No. 112; a review of the Program and Plan by
the planning commission for their consistency with the general plans for development of the City;
and holding a public hearing regarding the Program and Plan upon such notice as is required by
law.
1.04. The Program and Plan are contained in a document entitled "Development District

1.05. The Council has fully reviewed the contents of the Program and the Plan and has
on this date conducted a public hearing thereon at which the views of all interested persons were
heard.
Section 2. Findings Related to Establishment of Develooment District No.6.
2.01. The Council hereby finds that the establishment of Development District No.6 is
intended, and in the judgment of the Council, its effect will be to provide an impetus for
industrial development, increase employment, and otherwise promote the public purposes and
objectives specified in the Program.
2.02. It is further found and determined that:
a) The land in the Development District No.6 would not be made available for
industrial development without the public intervention and financial assistance
described in the Program and Plan;
b) The Program will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs
of the city as a whole, for the development of the District by private enterprise;
and
c) In accordance with the findings made by the planning commission, the Program
conforms to the general plan for development of the community as set forth in the
city's comprehensive plan.
6-1.
Section 3. Findings Related to Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No.
3.01. It is the opinion of the Council that development of the properties included within
Tax Increment Financing District No. 6-1 would not reasonably be expected to occur solely
through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future due to the lack of adequate
public investment and that the increased market value of property within the TIF District would
be less than the increase in 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 TIF
District and that the use of tax increment financing is therefore necessary.
3.02. The Council finds that the Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 6-1
conforms to the general plan for development of the City, based upon the recommendations of
the planning commission.
3.03. The Council finds that the Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 6-1 will
afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for
development of the District by private enterprise.

purposes and accomplish the objectives specified in the Program and Plan.
3.05. The Council has relied upon the opinions and recommendations of its staff and
planning commission and the personal knowledge of the members of the Council in reaching its
conclusions regarding the creation of Tax Increment Financing District No.6-I.

economic development tax increment financing district within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes
~ 469.174, Subd. 12.
Section 4. Approval of Development District Program and Tax Increment Financing Plan:

reference.

described in Minnesota Statutes, section 469.177, subd. 3(a) with regard to fiscal disparities.
4.05. The City Manager is authorized and directed to transmit a certified copy of this
resolution together with a certified copy of the Plan to the auditor of Carver county with a
request that the original tax capacity of the property within Tax Increment Financing District No.
