SUBJECT: Substandard Building Findings for Tax Increment Finance District for
Phalen — Atlantic Area
Resolution No. 4161
Action Requested:
7he Port Authority Board of Commissioners determine:
• That the building at 1107-1147 East Seventh Street, the former Globe Building
Materiais, is substandard and should be demolished in preparation for the creation of
the "Phalen — Atlantic Area" tax increment financing district and redevelopment of the
property.
• Authorize the continued work by Port Authority management toward creation of the
tax +ncrement financing district and the use of tax increment and other funds to pay
costs associated with demolition, remediation and site improvements.
• And, authorize the use of the Port Authoritys EPA Revolving Loan Fund to pay costs
associated with demolition, remediation and site improvements.
Pubiic Purpose:
The redevelopment of these blighted and contaminated parcels along East Seventh
Street wi11 resuit in a minimum of 80 full time living wage jobs, given the Port Authority
minimum requirement of 1 job per 1000 square feet of building. Actual results at Great
Northern Business Center— South and North, Westminster Junction and Wil{iams Hiii
Business Centers suggest that the total number of jobs at this business site could reach
120. The sites sits immediately south of the new Phalen Boulevard and is a barrier to the
private investment seen further west along the roadway, including the Port Authority's
Westminster Junction Business Center. When redeveloped, this new business site wiil
generate private investment in a new building and equipment, and additional property
taxes for the City of Saint Paul. The business site wili also provide employment
opportunities for Saint Paul and Eastside residents, and generaliy eliminate biight and the
underutilization of industrial land.

8ackpround:
The Saint Paul Port Authority acquired the Globe Building Materials parcels af a
bankruptcy auction in May 2005. Since that time the Port Authority has investigated the
site and found it to be heavily contaminated both above and below ground. The site has
been entered into the MPCA's Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup program with the end
goal of securing a Certificate of Completion and delivering the site to and end user as
described above.
in March we are asking the Port Authority Board of Commissioners to review the report of
Short, Elliot, Hendrickson and opinion of legal counsel, regarding the Giobe Building
Materials parcels and find this property meets the requirements of Section 469.174,
Subd. 10 of Minnesota Statutes for inclusion in a Redevelopment Tax Increment District.
Specifically, that the property is 70% improved and the buildings are substandard as
defined in State law. Making these findi�gs will qualify this property for a 25-year
Redevelopment Tax Increment Disfrict, which yields the most funds to pay project costs.
The Port Authority Board by making findings described above is not approving a TIF
District, but only making findings now so this property can be included in the TIF District
which we will ask the Board to set up in the future. We will ask the Board to make similar
findings on other properties that may be acquired in the fiuture.
The requirements as contained in Section 469.174, subdivision 10, of a Redevelopment
District are briefly:
Parcels consisting of 70% of the area of the district are occupied by buiidings,
streets, utilities, paved or graveled parking lots, or other similar structures, and more
than 50% of the buildings, not including outbuifdings, are structuraify sub-standard
requiring substantial renovafion or clearance. To find that the buildings are
structurally substandard the buildings must confain "defects in structural e4ements or
a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation,
fire protection inciuding 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." In addition, a building is not substandard
if it can be modified to meet the building code app{icable to new buildings at a cost of
less than 15% of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage
and type on the site.
In order to make these findings, the Port Authority has retained Short, Elliot, Hendrickson,
a reputable architectural and engineering firm who speciaiizes in, among other things, the
inspection of buildings and property in order to meet tax increment finance guidelines.
The person doing the work is a registered architect with significant experience in this
regard.
The consultant made a thorough interior inspection of the building. A significant amount
of notations and photographs were generated during this inspection. The consultant
36072.1
� �'�� �
Page 3 SPPA-#36072-d2-Board_Memo TIF_Fi�dings_Globe_Building_Mais.DOC
inspected fhe building and determined where there were building code deficiencies.
These buiiding code deficiencies were then assigned a dollar value. The buildings
construction cost was then estimated and the deficiency amount was compared to the
new construction cost of the building to determine if the deficiencies equal 15% or more
of the new construction costs.
With regard fo these parcels, specifically, the consultanYs findings are as follows:
• Coverage Test - Parcels consisting of 100% of the area are improved by buiidings,
streets, and utilities, paved or graveled parking lots or other similar structures.
Therefore, these properties meet the requiremenfs that buildings, streets, utilities,
paved or graveled parking lots, or other similar structures occupy 70% of the area of
the district.
Condition of Building Test — One of one buildings (100%} meet the statutory
definition of substandard by using the methodology described above. This exceeds
the test standard whereby over 50% of buildings, not including outbuildings, must be
found "structuraliy substandard".
• Also, a letter from our legal counsel of Leonard, Street, and Deinard supporting
these findings is attached.
The demolition and site work to prepare these parceis for redevelopment wili be
presented and contract award for said work recommended in a subsequent board memo.
Recommendation
We recommend the Port Authority Board of Commissioners determine that the building at
1107-1147 East Seventh Street, the former Globe Building Materials, is substandard and
should be demolished in preparation fior the creation of a tax increment financing district
and redevelopment of the property; authorize the use of the Port Authorit�s EPA
Revolving Loan Fund to pay costs associated with demolition, remediation and site
improvements; and authorize the continued work by Port Authority management toward
creation of the tax increment financing district and the use of tax increment and other
funds to pay costs associated with demolition, remediation and site improvements.
