APPOINT MILLER PARK COMMITTEE CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota March 14, 1985 Page 5 Mr. Asleson said the Apple Valley Commons project is proceeding with its building plans. Public hearings will be scheduled for the City Council meeting of April 11, 1985, on industrial revenue bond and tax increment bond financing for the project. The financing will be approximately $5,000,000 with an estimated market value in- crement of $4,000,000. This would generate approximately $190,000 per year in real estate taxes and because this would be an economic development district, the increment could be captured for up to eight years. The tax increment bond issue would be about $1,040,000 and used for land acquisition. For this reason, he would recommend obtaining an independent appraisal on the property. MOTION: of Savanick, seconded by Goodwin, authorizing Staff to secure an independent appraisal on the value of the land to be included in the Apple Valley Commons tax increment district.

If the dwelling units are increased, would another EAW be needed?
