Community Development Director Rogness gave an overview of Tax Increment Financing(TIF) as a financing tool allowing cities to use property tax revenues generated by a development to finance some of the costs of that development. It is intended to enable private development that might not otherwise occur. When TIF district's costs have been paid, no more than eleven years, 2 ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING MARCH 6, 1996 or the district is decertified, the property tax proceeds revert back to the local taxes with approximately 50%to the school district, 25% to the county and 25% to the city. Rosemount has 4.1% of tax capacity captured in tax increments; while 5%to 10% would be considered average. Mayor Busho confirmed with the recording secretary that the Affidavits of Posted and Published Notice were on file. Mayor Busho called for public input. Kim Shoe-Corrigan, 12990 Shannon Parkway, voiced concerns if tax increment financing is really needed at this time. Rogness responded that the"but-for" criteria was applied to the Cannon Equipment proposal and staff felt they would not have chosen Rosemount unless tax increment financing was used as other communities were competing for their development. Cannon will bring about 200 jobs to this area and this will be good for Rosemount's economy. Other business development proposals within the Rosemount Business Park will not automatically receive TIF benefits. Staff and Council hope that getting a business in the park will increase the interest of others to come to Rosemount. MOTION by Wippermann to close the Public Hearing for the Rosemount Business Park Tax Increment Financing Plan/District. Second by Busho. Ayes: Five. Nays: None. MOTION by Edwards to approve the RESOLUTION APPROVING A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR THE ROSEMOUNT BUSINESS PARK TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann, Busho, Carroll. Nays: None. Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the revised preliminary plat and final development plan for Shannon Meadows. It is a 12.8 acre development with 29 single family lots on the northwest corner of Shannon Parkway and 145th Street West. Many of the large trees were saved and a more effective use of the land was made with revisions adding a cul-de-sac and shifting the alignment of an east/west street. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended its approval. Discussion was held. A long narrow strip, noted as the"pan handle", attached as an outlot to Lot 14, Block 2 which runs parallel to Shannon Parkway ending on 145th Street West was a concern, but no clear solution was imminent. Kevin VonReidl, consultant for RLK Associates Limited, said that the"pan handle" of Lot 14, was offered as free land to the adjoining land owner but he would have to pay legal expenses. He was not agreeable to that offer. Further negotiations may take place.
