> , ..., > ,.,. . . NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the New Brighton City Council that it makes the fo110wing findings of fact: 1. The City Council did, on September 28, 1976, hold a public hearing pursuant to proper and timely published notice as required by M.S.A. 462..,521 (Subd. 3) . 2. At said public hearing all persons wishipg to be heard were given an opportunity to express their position and reasons j:or that' position. 3. The City Councll has considered. all statements made in favor of and opposed to the request, the September 22, 1976 memorandum from the Executive Director of the HRA, and the character of the parcels proposed for acquisition and the area in which they are located. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proposed acquisition by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of New Brighton, Minnesota of the four parcels as legally described in this resolution above is hereby approved for the following reasons: 1. Parcels 3 and 4, as listed above, are hereby found to be blighted by virt\1e of faulty land planning, characterizeci'1 by inadequate size in the depth of the parcel and by virtue of soil characteristics unsuitable to building construction. 2. Parcels 1 and 2, as listed above, are hereby found to be blighted by virtue of faulty land planning characterized by inadequate size, irregular shape ,and inadequate access to a public street. 3. Acquisition of the parcels by the HRA will contribute to the elimination of these conditions of blight because of the BRA1s unique powers to acquire property, to combine parcels to produce parcels of adequate size and shape, to remove unsuitable soil or provide financial incentives sufficient to deal with unsuitable soil conditions, and to provide financial incentives to develop these parcels through write-down of acquisition costs funded through tax incre- ment financing. 4. No families or individuals will be displaced by the proposed acquisition since all parcels in question are vac~nt and undeveloped.
