NOW, THEREFORE, BE TT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lakeville, Minnesota, as follows: 1. On the basis of the information presented to the Council at meetings. regarding the Modified Plans, information included in the Modified Plans, information provided at the public hearing and comments, if any, from the County Board and affected school boards, the Council hereby finds and determines: (a) The adoption of Modification No. 2 is in the public interest and to the. benefit of the health,. safety and welfare of the City; - (b) Modification No. 2 does not alter the designation of Tax Increment Financing District No. 8 as a housing district or expand the boundaries thereof, and the District continues to qualify as a housing district since it consists of a portion of a project intended for occupancy, in part, -by persons or families of low and moderate income, as set forth in the Modified Plans and the Interest Reduction Agreement for the Southfork I development (c) The Modified Plans will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whale, for the development of the Housing Development Project by .private enterprise since the Authority proposes only to facilitate private investment in housing and related commercial enterprises, and does not propose direct construction or ownership; (d) Based on review by the Planning Commission, the Modified Plans conform to the general plan for the development of the City as a whole; and (e) The proposed development in the Project, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably forseeable future and therefore the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary. In the case of the Meadows North area added to the Project by Modification No. 2, public assistance is deemed. necessary to facilitate development since the history of the site, as set forth in the Modified Plans, shows several unsuccessful attempts to develop the site in the past.. With respect to the Miller site added to the Project by Modification No. 2, Appendix B to the Tax Increment Financing Plan as modified by Modification No. 2 sets. forth the need for public assistance and is incorporated herein by reference. 2. The Modified Plans, including Modification No. 2, are hereby approved and adopted by the City substantially in the form on file with the City on this date. 3. The City Administrator is authorized and directed to take all action on behalf of the City, subject to such approval of this Council as is required by law, to . implement the Modified Plans. y.
