Z945201 EAST RIVER ROAD,SUITE 308 MINNEAPOLIS,MN 55421 August 25, 1992 Housing Redevelopment Authority of St. Anthony, Minnesota City of St. Anthony 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, MN 55418 Subject: Apache Mall Structural Evaluation UEI Project #92506 Ladies and Gentlemen: Ulteig Engineers, Inc. (UEI) is an independent engineering firm and was asked to complete a conditions report of the buildings in the Apache Mall complex on August 6, 1992 . The following report presents UEI 's findings. Introduction The Apache Mall complex consists of five (5) buildings. The largest building is the Apache Mall. The remaining buildings consist of a New Market Grocery building, a Sports and Health Club building, a Mobil Service Station building, and a Tires Plus building. The buildings were constructed at various times throughout the past 30 years. The Owner wishes to renovate the buildings in the complex and in connection with the proposed renovation has requested tax increment financing assistance from the St. Anthony HRA. It has been proposed that the St. Anthony HRA establish a tax increment financing district which will qualify as a redevelopment district under the Minnesota Tax Increment Financing Act. In order to qualify as a redevelopment district under the Minnesota Tax Increment Financing Act, at least 50% of the buildings must be "structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance" . UEI was retained to assist in the qualification of the New Market Grocery building, the Sports and Health Club building, and the Mobil Service Station. The qualification process will generally include a site visit, an evaluation of the remedial work necessary, assignment of costs for renovation work, and the conclusion that the three (3) buildings meet the TIF requirements.
