FINDING THAT PARCELS ARE OCCUPIED
BY STRUCTURALLY SUBSTANDARD BUILDINGS
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority
(the "HRA"), as follows:
I. The HRA intends to include in a tax increment financing district to be created by HRA
under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1794 (the "TIF District"), five tax parcels
located in the City of Edina (the "City") at 4500 France Avenue South and 3903, 3905, and
3907 Sunnyside Road consisting of PID #s 0702824440066, 0702824440067,
0702824440068, 0702824440069, and 0702824440070 (the "Parcels"), on which the former
Edina Cleaners and Launderers, two single family residences, and one paved parking lot are
located.
2. The HRA has engaged Stantec to inspect the Parcels and the buildings located on four of the
five Parcels and to prepare a report as to the Parcels and the conditions of the buildings. A
copy of the report of Stantec dated October 9, 2018 (the "Stantec Report"), has been
presented to and reviewed by the Board of Commissioners. It is expected that the buildings
located on the Parcels will be demolished and removed by the City prior to the creation of
the TIF District, and the cost of such demolition and removal will be financed by the HRA
or done by a developer pursuant to a development agreement.
3. The Board of Commissioners hereby finds as follows:
(a) that the Parcels, consisting of 100 percent of the area of the proposed TIF District, are
occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, or paved drives or parking lots;
(b) that two of the four buildings (50 percent) located on the Parcels are structurally
substandard within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 10(b),
since they contain defects in structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in
essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate
egress, layout and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors, which defects or
deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or
clearance;
(c) that two of the four buildings (50 percent) located on the Parcels are not in compliance
with the building code applicable to new buildings and require substantial renovation and
could not be modified to satisfy the building code at a cost of less than 15% of the cost
of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on the Parcels;
