12 <br /> for building ventilation,exhaust, intake and relief. These requirements translate <br /> into a specified number of complete clean air exchanges for a building based on <br /> its occupancy type and occupant load. A deficiency in the mechanical code <br /> adversely affects the `health . . . and public welfare' of a building's occupants; <br /> therefore, a deficiency in the mechanical code is considered a deficiency in "light <br /> And ventilation". <br /> Note: The above list represents some of the more common potential code <br /> deficiencies considered in the assessment of the buildings in the proposed district. <br /> This list does not necessarily include every factor included in the data used to <br /> satisfy Step 1 for a particular building. Refer to individual building reports for <br /> specific findings. <br /> Finally,the tax increment law provides that the municipality may find that a building <br /> is not disqualified as structurally substandard under Step 2 on the basis of"reasonably <br /> available evidence, such as the size, type, and age of the building, the average cost of <br /> plumbing,electrical, or structural repairs, or other similar reliable evidence. Items of <br /> evidence that support such a conclusion [that the building is structurally substandard] <br /> include recent fire or police inspections, on-site property appraisals or housing <br /> inspections, exterior evidence of deterioration, or other similar reliable evidence." <br /> MEASUREMENTS AGAINST TECHNICAL TEST REQUIREMENTS <br /> Coverage Test <br /> SEH utilized a GIS (Geographic Information Systems)database, available through <br /> Ramsey County, to obtain individual parcel information. The GIS database contains both <br /> graphic information (parcel shapes) and numerical data based on county tax records. <br /> This information was used by SEH for the purposes of this assessment. <br /> The total square foot area of each property parcel was obtained from county records <br /> (GIS) and general site verification. <br /> The total extent of site improvements on each property parcel was digitized from <br /> recent aerial photography(Spring, 2000) and confirmed by general site verification. <br /> The total percentage of coverage of each property parcel was computed to determine if <br /> the 15% requirement was met. Refer to attached maps: Impervious Surfaces and % <br /> Impervious by Parcel. <br /> The total area of all qualifying property parcels was compared to the total area of all <br /> parcels to determine if the 70% requirement was met. <br /> Condition of Building Test <br /> Replacement Cost—the cost of constructing a new structure of the same size and type on <br /> site: <br /> 6 <br />
