Despite hardships of the previous year, GIPL is
committed to thriving and growing. Celine Swan
became the new Library Director. The Library
Board will create an updated strategic plan. A
beautiful crane sculpture and seating area, do-
nated by the Staab Family and Library Founda-
tion will be placed in front of the building. Com-
munity partnerships will be expanded. Projects
replacing the HVAC system will begin, as well as
continued updates to computer and ILS systems.
The COVID-19 Pandemic was an unprecedent-
ed time. The Library building was closed to the
public for 16 weeks. The Library continued pro-
viding services and completed important projects
such as collections inventories, curbside materi-
als pickup, virtual programming, and expanded
digital collections due to CARES Grant funding.
Many challenges were also met, including a staff
layoff, reduction in force to 18 FTE, and reduction
of weekly service hours from 62 to 46 per week.
GIPL eagerly kicked off our new fiscal year with
programs and other services such as regular
storytimes, Breakfast with Santa, AARP Tax Aide,
and Humanities Nebraska Prime Time. Patrons
enjoyed newly renovated common areas and
meeting rooms, a new teen section, Art Alcove,
and Makerspace. In-person library visits and pro-
gram attendance, as well as circulation and use of
other service continued to rise until mid-March
when the COVID-19 Pandemic hit Nebraska.
“You have kept us entertained during this
pandemic. The staff is exceptional —
helpful — friendly...and with a smile.
Thank You!“

Council Agenda Memo
From:Chad Nabity, AICP Director
Meeting:February 9, 2021
Subject:Rezone from RO Residential Office to R3 Medium
Density Residential, R3-SL Medium Density Residential
Small Lot and B2 General Business Zone property
located south of NE Highway 2 and west of
Independence Avenue to be platted as Highland North
Subdivision
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, AICP Director
Background
An application has been made to rezone a tract of land consisting from RO Residential
Office to R3 Medium Density Residential, R3-SL Medium Density Residential Small Lot
and B2 General Business Zone. This property is south of NE Highway 2 and west of
Independence Avenue to be platted as Highland North Subdivision.
Discussion
This property is zoned RO Residential Office. The RO zone allows for a variety of
residential uses with no maximum density and some commercial uses. The proposed
rezoning would limit the commercial uses on this property to the northeast corner of the
property at the intersection of Nebraska Highway 2 and Independence Avenue. The
proposed R3 medium density residential reduce the density of residential uses to 1
dwelling per 3000 square feet of lot area. The R3-SL zone would allow smaller lot sizes
and 1 detached dwelling per 3000 square feet of lot area and 1 attached dwelling
(townhome or row house) per 2100 square feet of lot area.
At the regular meeting of the Regional Planning Commission, held January 6, 2021 the
above item was considered following a public hearing.
O’Neill opened the public hearing.
Nabity stated the property is currently zoned as RO-Residential Office and was
planned for mixed-use commercial developments due to the proximity to a major
highway. Nabity went on to explain that as the property sits today a variety of
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 21 / 141
commercial uses is allowed and retail is limited to medial uses. He also noted that
the current zoning would allow for residential uses with no limits on density.
Nabity stated, the request is to rezone the property with some limited commercial
B2 General Business located in northeast corner near Highway 2, R3-SL Medium
Density Residential Small Lot, located in the middle of the property and R3-
Medium Density Residential, located at the south of the property backing onto the
existing residential houses. Nabity noted that the changes will change the density
from allowing the developer to build as many units with the only limitation being
parking stalls to allowing for only 1 dwelling per 3000 sq ft. (lot size). He stated
that the developer intends on developing these the lots that back onto existing
houses with 1400-1500 sq ft homes and there will be roughly 3 lots developed for
every 2 lots located on Utah Ave. Nabity mentions that this would allow for a
lower density of housed compared to what can be built with today’s zoning and
that the change from RO to R3 would protect the existing houses and provide a
buffer from the more intense and dense development to the north. He also express
the importance of more density allow the highway as it can buffer noise from
traffic and the railroad track.
Brad Dobesh – 4209 Utah – Mr. Dobesh explained his issues with the project are
water issues, drainage issues and increased traffic. Mr. Dobesh also opposes the
convenience store.
Brenda Piper – 4258 Utah Ave - Mrs. Piper explained her concerns. Mrs. Piper
said that the increase of traffic could cause issues.
Coree Sattley – 4234 Utah Ave – Mrs. Sattley stated she agrees with drainage
issues but has seen the proposed plan and talked to the developer. Mrs. Sattley
says she feels that the developer has plans for the drainage issues and is confident
that the issues will be addressed. Mrs. Sattley is in support of the zoning change.
Michael Lingeman – 4264 Nevada – Mr. Lingman asked where the drainage
would be put in. Chairman O’Neill explained that the water would have to drain
out to Hwy 2 to drain out to the west. Mr. Lingman showed the Planning
Commission members a picture taken April 4th of all the water on the field. Mr.
Lingman asked if all the water would drain to the north. Mr. Lingman felt that the
water would not go anywhere but to the south and believes that it is going to
cause problems.
Amos Anson – 4234 Arizona Ave. – Mr. Anson mentioned he invited everyone in
the area to attend an informational meeting he held at the Chocolate Bar. Mr.
Anson went on to explain his plans for the project.
O’Neill closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Randone and second by Rainforth to approve the change
of zoning from RO Residential Office to R3- Medium Density Residential, R3-SL
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 22 / 141

Adjacent Properties Analysis
Current zoning designations:North: AG-2: Secondary Agricultural Zoning District,
South: LLR: Large Lot Residential Zone,
East: RO: Residential Office Zone,
West: TA: Transitional Agriculture Zone
Intent of zoning district:AG-2: The (AG-2) Secondary Agricultural Zoning District
regulations are intended to provide for the preservation of
lands best suited for agricultural uses of all types including
feed lots and the commercial feeding of livestock to

encroachment of uses of land that could be mutually
incompatible and continue to provide for agricultural uses
as a major asset to the economy of the area of the use and
conservation of agricultural land, to protect the value of
such land, and to protect it from indiscriminate residential
and urban development and other incompatible and
conflicting land uses.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 26 / 141
LLR: The intent of this zoning district is to provide for a
transition from rural to urban uses, and is generally located
on the fringe of the urban area. This zoning district permits
residential dwellings at a maximum density of two dwelling
units per acre, as well as other open space and
recreational activities.
RO: The intent of this zoning district is to provide the

office, personal services and professional uses. This
zoning district is also used as a transitional zone between
lower density residential zones and business or
manufacturing zones.
TA: The intent of this zoning district is to provide for a

Limited animal agriculture
Existing land uses:North: Residential, Suburban Agriculture, Nebraska Hwy
2, BNSF Railway
South: Residential
East: Vacant Land
West: Vacant Land
EVALUATION:
Positive Implications:
Consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: The property is designated for
mixed use commercial development generally including medium to high density residential
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 27 / 141
and general business uses. This piece does back onto existing residential so residential
uses are most appropriate along the southern property line.
Accessible to Existing Municipal Infrastructure: City water and sewer services is available to
serve the rezoning area.
Would provide additional housing: This would provide modernized housing allowing for
more housing choices throughout the community.
Commercial Zoning at the intersection of Independence Avenue and Nebraska Highway 2
would provide for a local commercial node near these neighborhoods allowing for limited
neighborhood commercial services. This intersection is an appropriate place for some
commercial development and this is supported by the future land use map.
Negative Implications:
None foreseen:
Other Considerations
The majority of this property is planned for mixed use commercial development on the Future
Land Use Map for the City of Grand Island. These changes would allow for residential uses to
back onto the existing residential property located to the south of the proposed development
area, protecting current owners from the possibility of commercial uses being developed near
their property.
.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City Council
change the zoning on this site from RO: Residential Office Zone to B2: General Business
Zone,R3: Medium Density Residential Zone & R3-SL: Medium Density-Small Lot

preferred zoning districts for the Gateway Corridor Overlay because of the lot sizes and
required setbacks. This rezoning will make the zoning on this lot consistent with the lot
boundaries and consistent with the intent of the Gateway Corridor Overlay.
At the regular meeting of the Regional Planning Commission, held January 6, 2021 the
above item was considered following a public hearing.

with a variety of non-profit, recreational and educational
uses.
ME: Industrial Manufacturing, Administrative offices, Trade
schools, Gravel, sand or dirt removal, stockpiling,
processing or distribution and batching plant, Bus
Garaging and Equipment Maintenance.
TA: Agricultural uses, recreational uses and residential
uses at a density at a density of 1 unit per 20 acres.
Limited animal agriculture
Existing land uses:North: Industrial & Commercial
South: Vacant Land
East: Commercial & Vacant Land
West: Commercial
EVALUATION:
All of this property is within the Gateway Corridor Overlay Zone-GCO. The intent of the GCO
zone is to provide quality development appropriate to the entrances of the community from
Interstate 80. As part of that district it is recommended that only the RD Residential
Development, CD-Commercial Development and ME Manufacturing Estates Zones be
considered for undeveloped property within these corridors.
The ME Zone provides for greater landscaping and setbacks from the primary streets in the
hopes of creating a campus effect as people drive into the community.
The Positive Implications:
Consistent with the City of Grand Island’s current zoning regulations.
Accessible to Existing Municipal Infrastructure: City water and sewer services is available to
serve the rezoning area.
Would provide additional jobs to the workforce.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 36 / 141
Consistent with the Future Land Use Plan and requirements of the GCO Gateway Corridor
Overlay.
Monetary Benefit to Applicant: Would allow the applicant to develop the property for
Industrial uses.
Negative Implications:
None foreseen:
Other Considerations
The majority of this property is planned for manufacturing uses on the Future Land Use Map for
the City of Grand Island though it has been used for general business and agricultural uses.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City Council
change the zoning on this site from B2: General Business Zone & TA: Transitional
Agriculture Zone to ME: Industrial Estates Zone

Item F-2
#9815 - Consideration of Recommending Discontinuation of
Sanitary Sewer District No. 545; Parkview Subdivision (2nd and
Final Reading)
Staff Contact: John Collins PE - Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 42 / 141
Council Agenda Memo
From:John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Meeting:February 9, 2021
Subject:Recommending Discontinuation of Sanitary Sewer
District No. 545; Parkview Subdivision
Presenter(s):John Collins, Public Works Director
Background
Three (3) property owners requested creation of a sanitary sewer district on the south side
of Pioneer Boulevard, east of Blaine Street due to failing septic systems. At the October
13, 2020 regular meeting, the City Council created Sanitary Sewer District No. 545;
Pioneer Subdivision with their approval of Ordinance No. 9794. Legal notice of the
creation of the District was published in the Grand Island Independent on October 19,
2020, with notification being mailed to all involved property owners.
The boundary for Sanitary Sewer District No. 545; Parkview Subdivision was selected to
serve an area previously unserved that is located north of Mill River Road, east of South
Blaine Street. The district boundary would eliminate approximately eight (8) septic tanks
and provide sanitary sewer service to sixteen (16) lots. There is a portion of this area with
multiple lots, parcels, and vacated streets inclusive to a community building that will be
served as one (1) lot.
Discussion
The district completed the 30-day protest period at 5:00 p.m., Monday, November 23,
2020. There were eight (8) valid protests filed against this District by affected property
owners. These owners represent 854.40 front feet, or 31.12% of the total District frontage
of 2,745.20 feet.
After reviewing Sanitary Sewer District No. 545; Parkview Subdivision the City
Administration has decided to recommend to Council that this district be discontinued so
that the work can be combined with the South Interceptor Project.
The existing South Interceptor is nearing capacity and is anticipated to be replaced in
2030 with a higher capacity pipeline located to the south. If the existing South Interceptor
is to remain in service, rehabilitation will be necessary to address structural and
operational deficiencies. Combining construction of a Parkview Subdivision sanitary
sewer main with rehabilitation of the existing South Interceptor should significantly
reduce cost attributed to a Parkview Subdivision sanitary sewer main project.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 43 / 141
Rehabilitation of the existing South Interceptor cannot occur until the flow can be
diverted from it to the new South Interceptor. We currently anticipate this will start in
2030 or soon thereafter.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning this issue at hand. The
Council may:
1.Approve the discontinuation of Sanitary Sewer District 545.
2.Refer the issue to a Committee.
3.Postpone the issue to a future date.
4.Take no action on the issue.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the discontinuation of Sanitary Sewer
District 545; Parkview Subdivision.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the discontinuation of Sanitary Sewer District 545; Parkview Subdivision.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Stacy R. Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting:February 9, 2021
Subject:Amend City Code §2-74
Presenter(s):Stacy R. Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Background
Teresa Anderson, Director of the Central District Health Department, is recommending
that the City of Grand Island adopt an ordinance extending the requirement of facial
coverings as a means to prevent or retard the spread of COVID-19 to May 31, 2021. Ms.
Anderson’s letter to council is attached to this memo for background information.
Discussion
City Council has before it the option of extending the current facial covering requirement
from midnight on February 23, 2021 to midnight May 31, 2021. This Council adopted
changes to Chapter 2 of City Code in November of 2020 requiring the wearing of facial
coverings. The option to either extend or end this requirement early is granted to the City
Council. The request for extending the requirement to May 31, 2021, is from Teresa
Anderson, Director of the Central District Health Department. City Administration has no
position on this matter and brought this Ordinance forward at the request of Ms.
Anderson. The current mask ordinance will expire on its own on February 23, 2021. No
action on this proposed ordinance will allow the current mask requirement to expire on
February 23, 2021.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration has no recommendation on Ordinance No. 9817.

On March 24, 2020, via Resolution No. 2020-81, City Council approved Change Order
No. 2, in the amount of $15,000.00, which allowed for re-building of the temporary storm
water diversion structure due to continual rainfall experienced in 2019. Such change
resulted in a revised contract amount of $262,981.06.
On May 26, 2020, via Resolution No. 2020-124, City Council approved Change Order
No. 3, in the amount of $7,868.00 to address additional work for repair of damaged

Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:February 9, 2021
Subject:Approving Certificate of Final Completion for Sycamore
Street Underpass Rehabilitation; Project No. 2017-U-1
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The Diamond Engineering Company of Grand Island, Nebraska was awarded a
$1,794,404.38 contract for construction of Sycamore Street Underpass Rehabilitation;
Project No. 2017-U-1 on August 28, 2018 via Resolution No. 2018-252.
On August 27, 2019, via Resolution No. 2019-258, City Council approved Change Order
No. 1 to provide a time extension for substantial completion from August 1, 2019 to
November 12, 2019, with final completion from September 30, 2019 to January 7, 2020
with no contract amount modification.
On November 12, 2019, via Resolution No. 2019-339, City Council approved Change
Order No. 2, which allowed for both a time extension and additional work necessary to
complete the project. The time extension authorized substantial completion from
November 12, 2019 to May 1, 2020, with final completion from January 7, 2020 to May
15, 2020. The additional work allowed for the refeed of underpass lighting and
installation of a new electrical service, along with additional concrete repair and lowering
of a gas main due to a storm sewer conflict in the amount of $74,820.00, resulting in a
revised contract amount of $1,869,224.38.
The Sycamore Street Underpass was built in 1950 and an engineering analysis identified
a number of repairs and replacements necessary to preserve the structure. This included a
number of issues related to the retaining walls, the South Front Street Bridge, and the
storm sewer pumping system.
Work commenced on November 7, 2018 and was completed on August 17, 2020.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 92 / 141
Discussion
The project was completed in accordance with the terms, conditions, and stipulations of
the contract, plans and specifications. Construction was completed with an underrun of
$79,395.55, for a total cost of $1,789,828.83. The underrun on this project was due to the
reduced amount of traffic control necessary, as well as the additional North Front Street
Bridge deck repair not being needed, which was approved in Change Order No. 2.
Additional project costs are shown below.

Item G-5
#2021-23 - Approving Change Order #1 - Boiler Scaffolding at
Platte Generating Station
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 98 / 141
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting:February 9, 2021
Subject:Change Order #1 - Boiler Scaffolding
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The turbine generator receives boiler inspections during the fall outage at Platte
Generating Station. The fall outage was scheduled for October 19, 2020, through
November 19, 2020, during which time inspection and maintenance on the boiler was
performed. To conduct the maintenance on the boiler and maintenance on other areas of
the plant, scaffolding was erected to reach and repair these areas safely.
Specifications were developed by the plant maintenance staff for the scaffolding. The
contract included an additional 80 labor hours for smaller scaffolding projects that may
be needed during the outage.
The specification was issued for bid and the contract was awarded by Council on
September 8, 2020, to HTH Companies, Inc., from Union, Missouri in the amount of
$61,460.00 per Resolution 2020-208.
Discussion
During the outage, additional work was required above the base hours for scaffolding in
the turbine intercept valve, turbine exhaust, and precipitator. The additional work was
completed in accordance with the contracted time and materials. These additions and
modifications to the work scope resulted in an addition of $42,762.32, for a final contract
cost of $104,222.32.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 99 / 141
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends authorizing Change Order #1 with HTH Companies,
Inc., of Union, Missouri, for the Boiler Scaffolding for an addition of $42,762.32 to the
contract price, for a total contract price of $104,222.32.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Change Order #1 from HTH Companies, Inc., in the amount of
$42,762.32 for the Boiler Scaffolding.

#2021-24 - Approving Proposal for Renovation of Stolley Park
Concession Building - Parks and Recreation Department
Staff Contact: Todd McCoy, Parks & Recreation Director
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 105 / 141
Council Agenda Memo
From:Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Meeting:February 9, 2021
Subject:Approving Stolley Park Concession Building Renovation
Presenter(s):Todd McCoy, Parks and Recreation Director
Background
The concession building located inside Stolley Park was originally constructed in 1983 as
part of the Heritage Zoo. After the zoo was discontinued the building remained to serve
families at Kids Kingdom and the Stolley Railroad. The building is also used as a central
hub for children’s park programs and summer staff. Repairs are recommended for the
building because of age, weather degradation, and recent vandalism.
On December 27, 2020 the Parks and Recreation Department advertised a Request For
Proposals (RFP) to remove and dispose of asbestos shingles, existing siding, and
windows. The RFP also includes furnishing and installing new shingles, siding, gutters,
downspouts, and windows.
Discussion
Two proposals were received.
Obermiller Seamless of Grand Island, Nebraska
Lyon Pride Roofing, Inc. of Giltner, Nebraska
Staff recommends selecting Lyon Pride Roofing, Inc. of Giltner, Nebraska in the amount
of $47,550.50 to complete the proposed exterior renovations of the Stolley concession
building.
Renovation of the Stolley Park building was not originally specified in the 2020-21 City
budget; however, $385,000 that was budgeted from the Food and Beverage Tax to
develop a trail connection to Eagle Scout Park will not be spent this year. Because trail
project funding will go unused this year, staff recommends reallocating up to $60,000 to
complete the proposed exterior updates and additional interior renovations.

Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the City Council approve the reallocation of
$60,000 of capital project funding originally dedicated for trail development and hire
Lyon Pride Roofing, Inc. of Giltner, Nebraska in the amount totaling $47,550.50 for
proposed exterior renovations of the Stolley concession building.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Meeting:February 9, 2021
Subject:Bid Award for Fire Station 2 Addition
Presenter(s):Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Background
The fire department’s 2019-20 capital budget included $350,000.00 for an addition to fire
station 2. The proposed project consists of adding six private sleeping rooms, an office,
and a fire alarm and sprinkler system to the current station. Due to the uncertainty of the
economic impact of COVID on City finances, the project was postponed. It was
reapproved by Council for FY 2020-21.
Discussion
Bids were solicited for the proposed fire station 2 project. On December 22, three bids
were received and reviewed by City staff. Hackel Construction Inc. submitted the lowest
priced bid in the amount was $402,300.00. Although the bid is higher than estimated,
City Administration and Finance Department are comfortable moving forward with the
project. The fire department will have $10,000.00 from funds budgeted for ambulance
acquisition that may be used to help offset the overage. When the addition is completed,
the private bedrooms will reduce the possibility of spreading communicable diseases and
increase privacy for fire department staff.

Item H-1
Consideration of Forwarding Blighted and Substandard Area #32
to the Hall County Regional Planning Commission (Rhoads
Enterprises, Inc.)
Staff Contact: Chad Nabity
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 120 / 141
Council Agenda Memo
From:Chad Nabity, AICP
Meeting:February 9, 2021
Subject:Proposed Blighted and Substandard Area #32
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, Director Grand Island CRA
Background
Enclosed you will find a copy of a Substandard and Blight Study as prepared for Josh
Rhoads with Horizon Builders by Marvin Planning Consultants. This study is
approximately 60 acres of property north of Lilly Drive, south of Old Potash Highway
and west of North Road. The study as prepared and submitted indicates that this property
could be considered blighted and substandard. The full study is attached for your review
and consideration.
Josh Rhoads with Horizon Builders has submitted this study for the review and
consideration of the Grand Island City Council as permitted by Nebraska law. The
decision on whether to declare an area blighted and substandard is entirely within the
jurisdiction of the City Council with a recommendation from the Planning Commission.
If the study is approved it is anticipated that an application for Tax Increment Financing
would follow.
The question before Council will be whether to send the study to the Planning
Commission for its review and feedback. If the item is not sent to the Planning
Commission, the Council cannot declare the area blighted and substandard. Planning
Commission will meet March 3, and would have a recommendation ready following that
meeting.
Once an area has been declared blighted and substandard, the CRA can accept
redevelopment proposals for the area.
Discussion
The action item tonight relates to the study for proposed CRA Area No. 32 in south
central Grand Island as shown below. The study was prepared for 60 acres, all of which is
in the Grand Island City Limits.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 121 / 141
While practicing as Grand Island City Attorney, Jerry Janulewicz reviewed the Nebraska
Statutes and case law pertaining to the declaration of property as blighted and
substandard. His comments on this application are as follows:
The statutes which provide for the creation of a redevelopment area or redevelopment
project within a redevelopment area require the following procedure:
A request is made to the city council to declare an area to be substandard and blighted
and in need of development for purposes of enabling the creation of a redevelopment area
or a redevelopment project within a redevelopment area.
The city council submits the question of whether an area is substandard and blighted to
the planning commission for its review and recommendation prior to making its
declaration that an area is substandard and blighted.
The planning commission must hold a public hearing and submit its written
recommendations within 30 days holding a public hearing on the request.
Upon receipt of the recommendations from the planning commission the city council may
make its findings and declaration with respect to the property within an area.
Unless the city council of the city in which such area is located has, by resolution adopted
after a public hearing with notice, declared such area to be a substandard and blighted
area in need of redevelopment, the Community Redevelopment Agency cannot prepare a
redevelopment plan for a redevelopment project area.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 122 / 141
Following a declaration that an area is substandard and blighted, the Community
Redevelopment Agency is authorized to prepare or cause to be prepared and recommend
redevelopment plans to the governing body of the city and to undertake and carry out
redevelopment projects within its area of operation and may enter into contracts with
redevelopers of property containing covenants, restrictions, and conditions regarding the
use of such property for residential, commercial, industrial, or recreational purposes or
for public purposes in accordance with the redevelopment plan and such other covenants,
restrictions, and conditions as the authority may deem necessary to prevent a recurrence
of substandard and blighted areas or to effectuate the purposes of the Community
Development Law, and to provide grants, loans, or other means of financing to public or
private parties in order to accomplish the rehabilitation or redevelopment in accordance
with a redevelopment plan. Within the area of operation of the Community
Redevelopment Authority, the authority may exercise its statutory powers with respect to
the redevelopment project.
Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 18-2107; 18-2109.
As stated in Fitzke v. City of Hastings, 582 N.W.2d 301 (Neb. 1998):
A CRA is not authorized to prepare a redevelopment plan for a redevelopment
project area unless the governing body of the city first enacts a resolution
declaring such area to be “a substandard or blighted area in need of
redevelopment.” § 18–2109. After such a declaration has been made and a
redevelopment plan has been prepared and approved, a CRA is authorized to
enter into contracts with redevelopers of property containing covenants,
restrictions, and conditions regarding the use of such property for residential,
commercial, industrial, or recreational purposes or for public purposes in
accordance with the redevelopment plan and such other covenants, restrictions,
and conditions as the [CRA] may deem necessary to prevent a recurrence of
substandard or blighted areas ... and to provide grants, loans, or other means of
financing to public or private parties in order to accomplish the rehabilitation or
redevelopment in accordance with a redevelopment plan.§ 18–2107(4). The CRA
may utilize tax increment financing to pay for redevelopment projects undertaken
pursuant to the CDL. § 18–2124.
“Under this statutory scheme, a private development project would be eligible for tax increment
financing only if it is included within an area which has previously been declared blighted or
substandard and is in furtherance of an existing redevelopment plan for that area. The declaration
of property as blighted or substandard is not simply a formality which must be met in order to
assist a private developer with tax increment financing; it is the recognition of a specific public
purpose which justifies the expenditure of public funds for redevelopment.” Fitzke, id, citing
Monarch Chemical Works, Inc. v. City of Omaha, 203 Neb. 33, 277 N.W.2d 423 (1979). The
legislative intent underlying the Community Development Law is the elimination of blighted and
substandard areas and to prevent the reoccurrence of blight through a cooperative effort of the
public and private sectors, not to aid private developers. Fitzke, id.
At this point, Council is only making a decision about whether to forward the study to the
Planning Commission for its recommendation or not. According to NRSS §18-2109, it is
clear that the Planning Commission must hold a public hearing and have the opportunity
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 123 / 141
to review the Blight Study prior to Council declaring the property substandard and
blighted. If Council wishes to consider a declaration of substandard and blight, State
Statute requires that the question of whether an area is substandard and blighted is
submitted to the Planning Commission for hearing, review and recommendation.
Blighted Area of the Community
The City of Grand Island, as a City of the First Class, is permitted to designate an area of
up to 35% of the municipal limits as blighted and substandard. As of February 4, 2021,
22.76% of the City has been declared blighted and substandard. Area 32 would add 60
acres to the total of blighted and substandard property and would, if approved, add 0.31%
to the total area declared blighted and substandard bringing the total to 23.07%.
It does not appear that the declaration of Area 32 would significantly impact the City’s
ability to declare other areas blighted and substandard.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to forward the Study to the Planning Commission for its
recommendation.
2.Move to not forward the Study to the Planning Commission for its
recommendation.
3.Refer the issue to a committee.
4.Postpone the issue to future date.
5.Take no action on the issue.
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council move to forward the study to the
Planning Commission if Council wishes to consider the use of Tax Increment
Financing as a redevelopment tool for this property.
Sample Motion
Move to forward the Study to the Planning Commission for their review and
recommendation.

PURPOSE OF THE BLIGHT AND SUBSTANDARD STUDY
The purpose of completing this Blight and Substandard study is to examine existing conditions
within Study Area 32 of the city of Grand Island. This study has been commissioned by the Rhoads
Enterprises, Inc. in order to analyze the possibility of declaring the area as blighted and
substandard within this specific study area.
The City of Grand Island, when considering conditions of Blight and Substandard, will be looking
at those issues and definitions provided for in the Nebraska Community Redevelopment Law as
found in Chapter 18, Section 2104 of the Revised Nebraska State Statutes, as follows:
“The governing body of a city, to the greatest extent it deems to be feasible in carrying
out the provisions of the Community Development Law, shall afford maximum
opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the city as a whole, to the rehabilitation
or redevelopment of the community redevelopment area by private enterprises. The
governing body of a city shall give consideration to this objective in exercising its
powers under the Community Development Law, including the formulation of a
workable program, the approval of community redevelopment plans consistent with
the general plan for the development of the city, the exercise of its zoning powers, the
enforcement of other laws, codes, and regulations, relating to the use of land and the
use and occupancy of buildings and improvements, the disposition of any property
acquired, and the providing of necessary public improvements.”
The Nebraska Revised Statutes §18-2105 continues by granting authority to the governing body
for formulation of a workable program; disaster assistance; effect. The statute reads,
“The governing body of a city or an authority at its direction for the purposes of the
Community Development Law may formulate for the entire municipality a workable
program for utilizing appropriate private and public resources to eliminate or prevent
the development or spread of urban blight, to encourage needed urban
rehabilitation, to provide for the redevelopment of substandard and blighted areas, or
to undertake such of the aforesaid activities or other feasible municipal activities as
may be suitably employed to achieve the objectives of such workable program. Such
workable program may include, without limitation, provision for the prevention of the
spread of blight into areas of the municipality which are free from blight through
diligent enforcement of housing, zoning, and occupancy controls and standards; the
rehabilitation or conservation of substandard and blighted areas or portions thereof by
replanning, removing congestion, providing parks, playgrounds, and other public
improvements by encouraging voluntary rehabilitation and by compelling the repair
and rehabilitation of deteriorated or deteriorating structures; and the clearance and
redevelopment of substandard and blighted areas or portions thereof.”
“Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Community Development Law, where the
local governing body certifies that an area is in need of redevelopment or
rehabilitation as a result of flood, fire, hurricane, earthquake, storm, or other
catastrophe respecting which the Governor of the state has certified the need for
disaster assistance under federal law, the local governing body may approve a
redevelopment plan and a redevelopment project with respect to such area without
regard to the provisions of the Community Development Law requiring a general plan
for the municipality and notice and public hearing or findings other than herein set
forth.”
Based on the Nebraska Revised Statutes §18-2103 the following definitions shall apply:
“Blighted area means an area (a) which, by reason of the presence of a substantial
number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures, existence of defective or
inadequate street layout, faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or
usefulness, insanitary or unsafe conditions, deterioration of site or other improvements,
diversity of ownership, tax or special assessment delinquency exceeding the fair value
of the land, defective or unusual conditions of title, improper subdivision or obsolete
platting, or the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and
other causes, or any combination of such factors, substantially impairs or arrests the
Grand Island Council Session - 2/9/2021 Page 126 / 141

sound growth of the community, retards the provision of housing accommodations, or
constitutes an economic or social liability and is detrimental to the public health,
safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition and use and (b) in which there is at
least one of the following conditions: (i) Unemployment in the designated area is at
least one hundred twenty percent of the state or national average; (ii) the average
age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at least forty years; (iii) more
than half of the plotted and subdivided property in an area is unimproved land that
has been within the city for forty years and has remained unimproved during that time;
(iv) the per capita income of the area is lower than the average per capita income of
the city or village in which the area is designated; or (v) the area has had either stable
or decreasing population based on the last two decennial censuses. In no event shall
a city of the metropolitan, primary, or first class designate more than thirty-five percent
of the city as blighted, a city of the second class shall not designate an area larger
than fifty percent of the city as blighted, and a village shall not designate an area
larger than one hundred percent of the village as blighted. A redevelopment project
involving a formerly used defense site as authorized under section 18-2123.01 shall not
count towards the percentage limitations contained in this subdivision;”
“Extremely blighted area means a substandard and blighted area in which: (a) The
average rate of unemployment in the area during the period covered by the most
recent federal decennial census is at least two hundred percent of the average rate
of unemployment in the state during the same period; and (b) the average poverty
rate in the area exceeds twenty percent for the total federal census tract or tracts or
federal census block group or block groups in the area;”
“Substandard area means an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation,
light, air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or
the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes,
or any combination of such factors, is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease,
infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, and crime, (which cannot be remedied through
construction of prisons), and is detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, or
welfare; and”
“Workforce housing means:
(a) Housing that meets the needs of today's working families;
(b) Housing that is attractive to new residents considering relocation to a rural community;
(c) Owner-occupied housing units that cost not more than two hundred seventy-five
thousand dollars to construct or rental housing units that cost not more than two hundred
thousand dollars per unit to construct. For purposes of this subdivision (c), housing unit
costs shall be updated annually by the Department of Economic Development based
upon the most recent increase or decrease in the Producer Price Index for all
commodities, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics;
(d) Owner-occupied and rental housing units for which the cost to substantially rehabilitate
exceeds fifty percent of a unit's assessed value; and
(e) Upper-story housing.”
This Blight and Substandard Study is only for a portion of the corporate limits of the city which has
not previously been so designated. The Study is intended to give the Grand Island CRA, Hall
County Regional Planning Commission and Grand Island City Council the basis for identifying and
declaring Blighted and Substandard conditions existing within the City’s jurisdiction and as allowed
under Chapter 18, Section 2123.01. Through this process, the City and property owners will be
attempting to address economic and/or social liabilities which are harmful to the well-being of
the entire community.

The study area can be seen in Figure 1 of this report. A Redevelopment Plan to be submitted in
the future will contain, in accordance with the law, definite local objectives regarding appropriate
land uses, improved traffic, public transportation, public utilities and other public improvements,
and the proposed land uses and building requirements in the redevelopment area and shall
include:
The boundaries defining the blighted and substandard areas in question (including existing
uses and conditions of the property within the area), and
A list of the conditions present, which qualify the area as blighted and substandard.
BLIGHT AND SUBSTANDARD ELIGIBILITY STUDY
This study targets the entire corporate limits of the community for evaluation. The area is indicated
in Figure 1 of this report. The existing uses in this area includes several uses including, residential,
commercial, industrial, and public uses.
Through the redevelopment process, the City of Grand Island can guide future development and
redevelopment throughout the area. The use of the Community Redevelopment Act by the City
is intended to redevelop and improve areas of the community. Using the Community
Redevelopment Act, the City of Grand Island can assist in the elimination of negative conditions
and implement different programs/projects identified for the City.
The following is the description of the designated area within the City of Grand Island.
Point of beginning is the intersection of the centerlines of Old Potash Road and North Road;
thence, westerly along the centerline of Old Potash Road to the intersection with the extended
west line of the NE ¼ of the NE1/4 of 23-11-10; thence, southerly along said west line of the NE ¼
of the NE1/4 of 23-11-10 to the intersection with the extended centerline of Lillie Drive; thence,
easterly along the centerline of Lillie Drive to the intersection with the centerline of North Road;
thence, northerly along the centerline of North Road to the POB, +/-60 acres.

EXISTING LAND USES
The term “Land Use” refers to the developed uses in place within a building or on a specific parcel
of land. The number and type of uses are constantly changing within a community and produce
a number of impacts either benefitting or detracting from the community. Because of this, the
short and long-term success and sustainability of the community is directly contingent upon
available resources utilized in the best manner given the constraints the City faces during the
course of the planning period. Existing patterns of land use are often fixed in older communities
and neighborhoods, while development in newer areas is often reflective of current development
practices.
FIGURE 3: EXISTING LAND USE, Study Area 32 – 2021

Existing Land Use Analysis within Study Area
As part of the planning process, a survey was conducted through both in-field observations, as
well as data collection online using the Hall County Assessors website. This survey noted the use of
each parcel of land within the study area. These data from the survey are analyzed in the following
paragraphs. Figure 3 shows the different uses present within the corporate limits of the during
development of the Comprehensive Plan. The different uses also have the overall percent of the
total area.
FINDINGS OF BLIGHT AND SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS ELIGIBILITY STUDY
This section of the study examines the conditions found in the study area. The Findings Section will
review the conditions based upon the statutory definitions.
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS
There were a number of conditions examined and evaluated in the field and online. There are a
number of conditions to be reviewed in detail, on the following pages, while some of the statutory
conditions are not present.
Structural Conditions
Structural conditions were evaluated, structures were either rated as: Excellent, Very Good, Above
Normal, Normal, Below Normal, Poor or Very Poor. The data and rating system come from the Hall
County Assessor’s database and is the same database used to value properties in the area.
According to the data there are 24 primary structures in the study area.
Based upon the data provided to the planning team, the following is the breakdown for
structures in the study area:
0 (0.00%) structures rated as Excellent
0 (0.00%) structure rated as Very Good
0 (0.00%) structures rated as Above Normal
Agricultural
0.00%
Residential32.83%

Blight and Substandard Study – Area 32
Page 6 City of Grand Island, NE – Area 32 • February 2021
24 (100.00%) structures rated Normal
0 ( 0.00%) structures rated Below Normal
0 ( 0.00%) structures rated Poor
0 ( 0.00%) structure rated as Very Poor
Based upon these data, an assumption has been made that normal condition and less would
constitute the possibility of some or considerable deterioration. It is common for older structures to
need more maintenance and upkeep in order to maintain a good or higher condition. Even a
structure rated as normal will show some signs of deteriorating which in turn can become a
dilapidated structure in the future if it is not addressed over time. Overall, 100.00% of the structures
in this study area are considered as a normal condition.
Due to the stated conditions found in the Hall County Assessor’s data, the condition of the
structure is a contributing factor.
Deterioration of Site or Other Improvements
Sidewalk Conditions
Sidewalks, regardless of the area and uses within a community, should provide a safe means of
movement for pedestrians. Sidewalks become increasingly more important along transportation
routes considered to be arterials and highways. A sidewalk allows for pedestrian movement while
keeping people off heavily traveled streets.
The sidewalk conditions were analyzed in the Study Area. The sidewalks were rated on three
categories: Fair, Poor, and missing completely.
Within the study area there is approximately 8,875 lineal feet or 1.68 miles of area where sidewalk
could or should be located. After reviewing the conditions in the field, the following is how the
sidewalk conditions breakdown within the study area:
0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Excellent sidewalk
0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Good sidewalk
0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Average sidewalk
0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Fair sidewalk
8,875 (100.00%) lineal feet of Poor or Missing sidewalk
The study area does contain any sidewalks either within the Gosda Subdivision or along Old
Potash Road and North Road. Sidewalk is critical to the overall pedestrian movement of an
area, long-term. Even sidewalk constructed which at present goes no where will eventually
connect to several portions of the community.
Due to the lack of sidewalk, sidewalks are considered a direct contributing factor.

Curb and Gutter
Curb and Gutters have a number of direct and indirect roles in communities. Their primary function
is to be a barrier to collect and direct water to be drained away. On a secondary level, they can
help define where the streets start and stop, and they act as a physical barrier between
pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Curb and gutter for the Study Area were examined similarly to sidewalks. The curb and gutter were
graded as either Excellent, Good, Average, Fair, Poor and Missing. There is not any curb and gutter
within the study area. And is considered rural section drainage.
Within the study area there is approximately 7,125 lineal feet of curb and gutter possible. After
reviewing the conditions in the field, the following is how the curb and gutter conditions
breakdown within the corporate limits:
0 ( 0.0%) lineal feet of Excellent curb and gutter
0 ( 0.00%) lineal feet of Good curb and gutter
0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Average curb and gutter
0 (0.00%) lineal feet of Fair curb and gutter
7,125 (100.00%) lineal feet of Poor or Missing curb and gutter
The majority of the community’s streets and drainage have been designed and constructed in a
manner referred to as rural section. A rural section street/road is one where water drains directly
from the driving surface into ditches paralleling the street. This approach is adequate; however,
this design typically sees the ditches begin to silt in and/or have tall grass growing in them. These
factors quickly deteriorate the ability of the ditch to adequately drain away water from the driving
surface and this typically leads to localized flooding and ponding.
Due to the large amount of deteriorating and missing curb and gutter, the curb and gutter
conditions would be a direct contributing factor.
Streets
Streets within a community are essential to moving people and vehicles from place to place. Their
condition and construction have an impact on the appearance of a community, which leads
directly to how a community is perceived by the outside world.
Within the study area there is approximately 10,325 lineal feet or 1.96 miles of street possible. After
reviewing the conditions in the field, the following is how the street conditions breakdown within
the corporate limits:
0 ( 0.0%) lineal feet of Excellent street
0 ( 0.0%) lineal feet of Good street
7,875 (76.0%) lineal feet of Average street
0 ( 0.0%) lineal feet of Fair street
2,440 (24.0%) lineal feet of Poor street
Within the study area, the only paved streets are along Nebraska Highway 11 and Maple Street
north of the highway. Both of these streets are considered in either Good or Average condition.
The remaining 24.0% are considered in Poor Condition. Any streets, currently, dirt or gravel are

considered to be in poor condition. Some of the streets in the study area appear to have been
paved in some sort of asphaltic material or armor coated.
Age of Structure
Age of structures can be a contributing factor to the blighted and substandard conditions in an
area. Statutes allow for a predominance of structures 40 years of age or older to be a contributing
factor regardless of their condition. The following paragraphs document the structural age of the
structures within the Study Area. Note the age of structure was determined from the Appraisal
data within the Hall County Assessor’s website data.

Age of Structure
Within the study area there are 50 primary structures. After researching the structural age on the
Hall County Assessor’s website, the following breakdown was determined:
22 (91.7%) unit was determined to be 40 years of age or older.
2 ( 8.3%) unit was determined to be less than 40 years of age
However, when examining the age based upon a cumulative approach, as in Table 1 the
average age of the primary structures is equal to 45.46 years; thus, meeting the requirements of
the statutes.
The age of the structures would be a direct contributing factor.

Blighting Summary
These conditions are contributing to the blighted conditions of the study area.
Substantial number of deteriorating structures
o Within the study are 100.00% of the primary structures were deemed to be in an average
condition or worse.
Deterioration of site or other improvements
o Curb and gutter are missing throughout the study area.
o The study area has what is considered rural section (ditches) and the drainage areas
appear to be silting in.
o Streets through most of the study area were an average or poorer condition.
o Sidewalks are missing within the entire study area.
Diversity of Ownership
o There are many different property owners within the study area including the City of
Grand Island.
o The diversity of ownership may be a barrier to future development.
Criteria under Part B of the Blight Definition
The average age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at least forty years.
o 22 (91.7%) buildings or improvements were determined to be 40 years of age or older.
o 2 (8.3%) buildings or improvements were determined to be less than 40 years of age.
o The average age based upon a cumulative age calculation is 45.46 years.
The other criteria for Blight were not present in the area, these included:
Factors Which Are Impairing And/or Arresting Sound Growth
Insanitary and Unsafe Conditions
Dangerous conditions to life or property due to fire or other causes
Faulty Lot Layout
Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting
Stable or decreasing population based on the last two decennial censuses
Tax or special assessment delinquency exceeding fair value of the land.
Defective or unusual condition of title,
Unemployment in the designated area is at least 120% of the state or national average.
One-half of unimproved property is over 40 years old.
The per capita income of the area is lower than the average per capita income of the city
or village in which the area is designated.
These issues were either not present or were limited enough as to have little impact on the overall
condition of the study area.

Substandard Conditions
Average age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at least 40 years.
Age of structures can be a contributing factor to the blighted and substandard conditions in an
area. Statutes allow for a predominance of units that are 40 years of age or older to be a
contributing factor regardless of their condition. Note the age of structure was determined from
the Appraisal data within the Hall County Assessor’s website data.
Within the study area there are 24 primary structures. After researching the structural age on the
Hall County Assessor’s website, the following breakdown was determined:
22 (91.7%) buildings or improvements were determined to be 40 years of age or older.
2 ( 8.3%) buildings or improvements were determined to be less than 40 years of age.
However, when examining the age based upon a cumulative approach, as in Table 1, the
average age of the primary structures is equal to 45.46 years; thus, meeting the requirements of
the statutes.
The age of the structures would be a direct contributing factor.
Substandard Summary
Nebraska State Statute requires that “…an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of dilapidation,
deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or
open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence of conditions which
endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such factors, is
conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, and crime,
(which cannot be remedied through construction of prisons), and is detrimental to the public
health, safety, morals, or welfare;”
This Study Area meets the defintion of Substandard as defined in the Revised Nebraska State
Statutes.
