(a) That portion of the ad valorem tax on the real estate located in the
Redevelopment Project Area which is produced by levy at the rate fixed each year by or
for each public body upon the "redevelopment project valuation" (as defined in the Act)
of the Redevelopment Project Area shall be paid into the funds of each such public body
in the same proportion as all other taxes collected by or for the bodies; and
(b) That portion of the ad valorem tax on real property in the Redevelopment
Project Area in excess of such amount (the "Incremental Ad Valorem Tax"), if any, shall
be allocated to, is pledged to, and, when collected, paid into a special fund of the
Authority (designated in the Resolution as the "Note Fund") to pay the principal of, the
interest on, and any premium due in connection with the Indebtedness. When such
Indebtedness, including interest and premium due have been paid, the Authority shall so

Thousand Eight Hundred and no/100 Dollars ($159,800), in substantially the form shown on the
attached Exhibit C (“TIF Note”), for net funds available to be purchased by Redeveloper (“TIF
Note Purchaser”), in a written form acceptable to Authority’s attorney, and receive Note
proceeds from the TIF Note Purchaser in said amount. At the option of the Authority, the
Authority shall make a grant to Redeveloper in such amount, and such grant shall offset TIF Note
Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the TIF Note. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the
Resolution, the Authority’s Treasurer on behalf of the Authority shall have the authority to
determine the timing of issuing the Indebtedness and all the other necessary details of the
Indebtedness.
The Redeveloper agrees to purchase the Indebtedness at a price equal to the principal
amount thereof, in a private placement satisfactory to the Authority as to its terms and
participants (including any pledgee thereof). Neither the Authority nor the City shall have any
obligation to provide for the sale of the Indebtedness. It is the sole responsibility of the
Redeveloper to effect the sale of the Indebtedness by purchasing the Indebtedness in accordance
with the terms of this Redevelopment Contract and the Resolution. Redeveloper acknowledges
that it is its understanding and the Authority's understanding that interest on the Indebtedness
will be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes and subject to Nebraska State
income taxation.
Section 3.03 Pledge of Revenues.
Under the terms of the Resolution, the Authority pledges 100% of the available annual
TIF Revenues derived from the Redevelopment Project Property as security for and to provide
payment of the Indebtedness as the same fall due (including payment of any mandatory
redemption amounts set for the Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Resolution).
Section 3.04 Purchase and Pledge of Indebtedness/Grant of Net Proceeds of Indebtedness.
The Redeveloper has agreed to purchase the Indebtedness from the Authority for a price
equal to the principal amount thereof, payable as provided in Section 3.02 and this Section 3.04.
The Redevelopment Plan provides for the Redeveloper to receive a grant under this
Redevelopment Contract. In accordance with the terms of the Redevelopment Plan the
Redeveloper is to receive a grant sufficient to pay the costs of site acquisition, demolition and
rehabilitation expenditures, all improvements related to Project public infrastructure costs, site
preparation costs, utility extensions and costs of the Authority for legal and plan preparation
including those items described on Exhibit D (the "Project Costs"), in the aggregate maximum

the Indebtedness as provided in Section 3.02, unless Redeveloper elects to offset the payment of
the purchase of the Indebtedness with the grant proceeds as provided herein and in the
Resolution. The Authority shall have no obligation to provide grant funds from any source other
than as set forth in the Resolution and this Redevelopment Contract.
Section 3.05 Creation of Funds.
In the Resolution, the Authority has provided for the creation of the following funds and
accounts which funds shall be held by the Authority separate and apart from all other funds and
moneys of the Authority and the City:
(a) a special trust fund called the “Paramount Development Redevelopment Project Note Fund”
(the “Note Fund”). All of the TIF Revenues shall be deposited into the Note Fund. The TIF
Revenues accumulated in the Note Fund shall be used and applied on the Business Day prior to
each Interest Payment Date (i) to make any payments to the City or the Authority as may be
required under the Redevelopment Contract and (ii) to pay principal of or interest on the Note to the
extent of any money then remaining the Note Fund on such Interest Payment Date. Money in the
Note Fund shall be used solely for the purposes described herein and in the Resolution. All
Revenues received through and including December 31, 2034 shall be used solely for the payments
required herein and by the Resolution; and
(b) a special trust fund called the “Paramount Development Redevelopment Project Fund” (the

to time to pay or as reimbursement for payment made for the Project Costs in each case within 5
Business Days after completion of the steps set forth herein and in the Resolution. If a sufficient
amount to pay a properly completed Disbursement Request (as defined in Section 4.02) is not in the
Project Fund at the time of the receipt by the Authority of such request, the Authority shall notify
the owner of the Note and such owner may deposit an amount sufficient to pay such request with
the Authority for such payment. As set forth in the Resolution, if the Redeveloper is the owner of
the Note and the Redeveloper so elects, the Authority shall make a grant to Redeveloper in the
amount of an approved Disbursement Request; in such event, the approved Disbursement Request
amount shall offset funding of the Note.

ARTICLE VI
DEFAULT, REMEDIES; INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.01 General Remedies of Authority and Redeveloper.
Subject to the further provisions of this Article VI, in the event of any failure to perform
or breach of this Redevelopment Contract or any of its terms or conditions, by any party hereto
or any successor to such party, such party, or successor, shall, upon written notice from the other,
proceed immediately to commence such actions as may be reasonably designed to cure or
remedy such failure to perform or breach which cure or remedy shall be accomplished within a
reasonable time by the diligent pursuit of corrective action. In case such action is not taken, or
diligently pursued, or the failure to perform or breach shall not be cured or remedied within a
reasonable time, this Redevelopment Contract shall be in default and the aggrieved party may
institute such proceedings as may be necessary or desirable to enforce its rights under this
Redevelopment Contract, including, but not limited to, proceedings to compel specific
performance by the party failing to perform or in breach of its obligations. The Redeveloper
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 66 / 182
Paramount Development
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Authority shall have completed its required
performances and satisfied all of its obligations under this Redevelopment Contract upon the
issuance of the Indebtedness and the subsequent payment of grant amounts to the Redeveloper as
set forth in Article III hereof and by complying with the obligations of all Redevelopment
Contract Amendments.
Section 6.02 Additional Remedies of Authority
In the event that (each such event an "event of default"):
(a) the Redeveloper, or its successor in interest, shall fail to commence the
construction of the improvements included in the Project Costs on or before May 1, 2019,
or shall abandon construction work related to the Project Costs, once commenced, for any
period of 180 days, excepting delays caused by inclement weather,
(b) the Redeveloper, shall fail to pay real estate taxes or assessments on the
Redevelopment Project Property owned by the Redeveloper or any part thereof when due;
and
(c) there is a violation of any other provision of this Redevelopment Contract,
and such failure or action by the Redeveloper has not been cured within 90 days following
written notice from Authority, then the Redeveloper shall be in default of this
Redevelopment Contract.
In the event of such failure to perform, breach or default occurs and is not cured in the
period herein provided, the parties agree that the damages caused to the Authority would be
difficult to determine with certainty and that a reasonable estimation of the amount of damages
that could be incurred is the amount of the grant to Redeveloper pursuant to Section 3.04 of this
Redevelopment Contract, less any reductions in the principal amount of the Indebtedness, plus
interest on such amounts as provided herein (the "Liquidated Damages Amount"). Upon the
occurrence of an event of default, the Liquidated Damages Amount shall be paid by Redeveloper
to Authority within 30 days of demand from Authority given to the Redeveloper.
Interest shall accrue on the Liquidated Damages Amount at the rate of three percent (3%)
per annum and interest shall commence from the date that the Authority gives notice to the
Redeveloper demanding payment.
Payment of the Liquidated Damages Amount shall not relieve Redeveloper of its
obligation to pay real estate taxes or assessments with respect to the Redevelopment Project
Property and the Project.
Redeveloper, on or before contracting for work included within the Project Costs, shall
furnish to the Authority copies of labor and materials payment bonds and performance bonds for
each contract entered into by Redeveloper related to Project Costs. Each such bond shall show
the Authority and the City as well as the Redeveloper as beneficiary of any such bond, as and to
the extent commercially obtainable (as determined in the discretion of the Authority). In
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 67 / 182
Paramount Development
addition, the Redeveloper shall provide a penal bond with good and sufficient surety to be
approved by the Authority, conditioned that the Redeveloper shall at all times promptly make
payments of all amounts lawfully due to all persons supplying or furnishing to any contractor or
his or her subcontractors (for each contract entered into by Redeveloper related to Project Costs)
with labor or materials performed or used in the prosecution of the work provided for in such
contract, and will indemnify and save harmless the Authority to the extent of any payments in
connection with the carrying out of such contracts which the Authority may be required to make
under the law.
Section 6.03 Remedies in the Event of Other Redeveloper Defaults.
In the event the Redeveloper fails to perform any other provisions of this Redevelopment
Contract (other than those specific provisions contained in Section 6.02), the Redeveloper shall
be in default. In such an instance, the Authority may seek to enforce the terms of this
Redevelopment Contract or exercise any other remedies that may be provided in this
Redevelopment Contract or by applicable law; provided, however, that any defaults covered by
this Section shall not give rise to a right or rescission on termination of this Redevelopment
Contract, and shall not be covered by the Liquidated Damages Amount.
Section 6.04 Forced Delay Beyond Party's Control.
For the purposes of any of the provisions of this Redevelopment Contract, neither the
Authority nor the Redeveloper, as the case may be, nor any successor in interest, shall be
considered in breach of or default in its obligations with respect to the conveyance or preparation
of the Redevelopment Area or any part thereof for redevelopment, or the beginning and
completion of construction of the Project, or progress in respect thereto, in the event of forced
delay in the performance of such obligations due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control and
without its fault or negligence, including, but not restricted to, acts of God, or of the public
enemy, acts of the Government, acts of the other party, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine
restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather or delays in subcontractors
due to such causes; it being the purpose and intent of this provision that in the event of the
occurrence of any such forced delay, the time or times for performance of the obligations of the
Authority or of the Redeveloper with respect to construction of the Project, as the case may be,
shall be extended for the period of the forced delay: Provided, that the party seeking the benefit
of the provisions of this section shall, within thirty (30) days after the beginning of any such
forced delay, have first notified the other party thereto in writing, and of the cause or causes
thereof and requested an extension for the period of the forced delay.
Section 6.05 Limitations of Liability; Indemnification.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI or this Redevelopment Contract to the
contrary, neither the City, the Authority, nor their respective elected officials, officers, directors,
appointed officials, employees, attorneys, agents or their governing bodies shall have any
pecuniary obligation or monetary liability under this Redevelopment Contract. The sole
obligation of the Authority under this Redevelopment Contract shall be the issuance of the
Indebtedness and granting of a portion of the proceeds thereof to Redeveloper, and full
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 68 / 182
Paramount Development
compliance with the terms specifically set forth Article III hereof and payment of TIF Revenues
pledged pursuant to the Resolution. The Redeveloper releases the City and Authority from,
agrees that neither the City nor Authority shall be liable for, and agrees to indemnify and hold
the City and Authority harmless from any liability for any loss or damage to property or any
injury to or death of any person that may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to
the Project.
The Redeveloper will indemnify and hold each of the City and Authority and their
respective elected officials, directors, officers, appointed officials, attorneys, agents, employees
and members of their governing bodies free and harmless from any loss, claim, damage, demand,
tax, penalty, liability, disbursement, expense, excluding litigation expenses, attorneys' fees and
expenses, or court costs arising out of any damage or injury, actual or claimed, of whatsoever
kind or character, to property (including loss of use thereof) or persons, occurring or allegedly
occurring in, on or about that portion of the Project owned by the Redeveloper, during the term
of this Redevelopment Contract or arising out of any action or inaction of Redeveloper, related to
activities of the Redeveloper or its agents during the construction of the public infrastructure or
public right of ways in the Project.

sufficient and held in trust solely for the payment hereof; and for the other terms and provisions
thereof.

Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area 1
September 2018
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island
intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area 1 with in the city, pursuant to
the Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the
financing of a specific infrastructure related project in Area 1.
Executive Summary:
Project Description
THE REDEVELOPMENT OF A PORTION OF THE OLD SEARS BUILDING
LOCATED AT 411 W. 3RD STREET FOR RESIDENTIAL USES, INCLUDING
ACQUISTION, FIRE/LIFE SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS AND BUILDING
REHABILITATION AND REMODELING.
The use of Tax Increment Financing to aid in rehabilitation expenses associated with
redevelopment of the second floor and necessary first floor entrances and exits to support
the development of four 2-bedroom apartments on the second floor of the west side of
Old Sears located at 411 W. 3rd street. It is anticipated that additional TIF applications
will be proposed for commercial uses within the remainder of the building. The use of
Tax Increment Financing is an integral part of the development plan and necessary to
make this project affordable. The project will result in renovating a portion of this
building into market rate residential units. The addition of the residential units is
consistent with the downtown redevelopment plan and priorities to add 50 residential
units downtown by 2019. This project would not be feasible without the use of TIF.
Paramount Development LLC is the purchasing the rights to this section of the building
through a condominium arrangement. They are purchasing the property for $77,000. The
purchase price is included as an eligible TIF activity. The building is currently vacant and
this upper floor space has been vacant for numerous years. The developer is responsible
for and has provided evidence that they can secure adequate debt financing to cover the
costs associated with the remodeling and rehabilitation of this building. The Grand Island
Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) intends to pledge the ad valorem taxes
generated over the 15 year period beginning January 1, 2020 towards the allowable costs
and associated financing for rehabilitation.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THE
PROPERTY WILL COME FROM THE FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY:
Property Description (the “Redevelopment Project Area”)
The second floor and necessary first floor exits and entrances at 411 W. 3rd Street in
Grand Island Nebraska. The actual legal will be provided with the master deed for the
condominium.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 81 / 182
Legal Descriptions: The second floor of the building on the easterly 44 feet of Lot

Hall County, Nebraska.
Existing Land Use and Subject Property
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 82 / 182
The tax increment will be captured for the tax years the payments for which become
delinquent in years 2020 through 2034 inclusive.
The real property ad valorem taxes on the current valuation will continue to be paid
to the normal taxing entities. The increase will come from rehabilitation of this
portion of the building for residential uses as permitted in the B3 Heavy Business
Zoning District.
Statutory Pledge of Taxes.
In accordance with Section 18-2147 of the Act and the terms of the Resolution
providing for the issuance of the TIF Note, the Authority hereby provides that any ad
valorem tax on the Redevelopment Project Area for the benefit of any public body be
divided for a period of fifteen years after the effective date of this provision as set forth in
the Redevelopment Contract, consistent with this Redevelopment Plan. Said taxes shall
be divided as follows:
a. That portion of the ad valorem tax which is produced by levy at the rate
fixed each year by or for each public body upon the redevelopment project valuation shall
be paid into the funds, of each such public body in the same proportion as all other taxes
collected by or for the bodies; and
b. That portion of the ad valorem tax on real property in the
redevelopment project in excess of such amount, if any, shall be allocated to and, when
collected, paid into a special fund of the Authority to pay the principal of; the interest on,
and any premiums due in connection with the bonds, loans, notes, or advances on money
to, or indebtedness incurred by, whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, such
Authority for financing or refinancing, in whole or in part, a redevelopment project.
When such bonds, loans, notes, advances of money, or indebtedness including interest
and premium due have been paid, the Authority shall so notify the County Assessor and
County Treasurer and all ad valorem taxes upon real property in such redevelopment
project shall be paid into the funds of the respective public bodies.
Pursuant to Section 18-2150 of the Act, the ad valorem tax so divided is hereby pledged
to the repayment of loans or advances of money, or the incurring of any indebtedness,
whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, by the CRA to finance or refinance, in
whole or in part, the redevelopment project, including the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on such bonds, loans, notes, advances, or indebtedness.
Redevelopment Plan Amendment Complies with the Act:
The Community Development Law requires that a Redevelopment Plan and Project
consider and comply with a number of requirements. This Plan Amendment meets the
statutory qualifications as set forth below.
1. The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared blighted and substandard by
action of the Grand Island City Council on December 19, 2000.[§18-2109] Such
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 83 / 182
declaration was made after a public hearing with full compliance with the public
notice requirements of §18-2115 of the Act.
2. Conformation to the General Plan for the Municipality as a whole. [§18-2103 (13)
(a) and §18-2110]
Grand Island adopted a Comprehensive Plan on July 13, 2004. This redevelopment plan
amendment and project are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, in that no changes in
the Comprehensive Plan elements are intended. This plan merely provides funding for
the developer to rehabilitate the building for permitted uses on this property as defined by
the current and effective zoning regulations. The Hall County Regional Planning
Commission held a public hearing at their meeting on October 3, 2018 and passed
Resolution 2019-02 confirming that this project is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan for the City of Grand Island. The Grand Island Public School District has submitted
a formal request to the Grand Island CRA to notify the District any time a TIF project
involving a housing subdivision and/or apartment complex is proposed within the
District. The school district was notified of this plan amendment at the time it was
submitted to the CRA for initial consideration.
3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the following
items: [§18-2103(13) (b)]
a. Land Acquisition:
The Redevelopment Plan for Area 1 provides for real property acquisition and this plan
amendment does not prohibit such acquisition. There is no proposed acquisition by the
authority.
b. Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The project to be implemented with this plan does not provide for the demolition and
removal any structures on this property. Demotion of internal structures to accommodate
the redevelopment is anticipated and permitted.
c. Future Land Use Plan
See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. All of the area
around the site in private ownership is planned for Downtown Commercial development;
this includes housing and commercial uses within the same structure. This property is in
private ownership. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] The attached map also is an accurate site
plan of the area after redevelopment. [§18-2111(5)]
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 84 / 182
City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 85 / 182
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
The area is zoned B3-Heavy Business zone. No zoning changes are anticipated with this
project. No changes are anticipated in street layouts or grades. No changes are
anticipated in building codes or ordinances. Nor are any other planning changes
contemplated. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The developer is rehabilitating the existing building. The developer is not proposing to
increase the size of the building and current building meets the applicable regulations
regarding site coverage and intensity of use. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Sewer and water are available to support this development. .
Electric utilities are sufficient for the proposed use of this building.
No other utilities would be impacted by the development.
The developer will be responsible for replacing any sidewalks damaged during
construction of the project.
No other utilities would be impacted by the development. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
4. The Act requires a Redevelopment Plan provide for relocation of individuals and
families displaced as a result of plan implementation. This property is vacant and
has been vacant for more than 1 year; no relocation is contemplated or necessary.
[§18-2103.02]
5. No member of the Authority, nor any employee thereof holds any interest in any
property in this Redevelopment Project Area. [§18-2106] No members of the
authority or staff of the CRA have any interest in this property. Tom Gdowski, is
President of Equitable bank and most likely will be part of the bank approval of a loan for
this project.
6. Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider:
a. Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated
proceeds from disposal to redevelopers.
The developer is purchasing the rights to just this portion of the property through a
condominium arrangement for $77,000. The estimated costs of rehabilitation of this
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 86 / 182
property is $500,0000, planning related expenses for Architectural and Engineering
services of $8,000 and are included as a TIF eligible expense. Legal, Developer and
Audit Fees of $8,000 including a reimbursement to the City and the CRA of $6,100 are
included as TIF eligible expense. The total of eligible expenses for this project exceeds
$640,000. The CRA has been asked to grant $80,000 to this project to offset the cost of
life safety improvements as part of the upper story life/safety grant program. The total
eligible expenses for this project less other grant funds by the CRA is $550,000.
No property will be transferred to redevelopers by the Authority. The developer will
provide and secure all necessary financing.
b. Statement of proposed method of financing the redevelopment project.
The developer will provide all necessary financing for the project. The Authority will
assist the project by granting the sum of $159,800 from the proceeds of the TIF. This
indebtedness will be repaid from the Tax Increment Revenues generated from the project.
TIF revenues shall be made available to repay the original debt and associated interest
after January 1, 2021 through December 2034.
c. Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this plan.
7. Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an
authority shall consider whether the proposed land uses and building requirements in the
redevelopment project area are designed with the general purpose of accomplishing, in
conformance with the general plan, a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development
of the city and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs,
promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare, as
well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other
things, adequate provision for traffic, vehicular parking, the promotion of safety from
fire, panic, and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of the
healthful and convenient distribution of population, the provision of adequate
transportation, water, sewerage, and other public utilities, schools, parks, recreational and
community facilities, and other public requirements, the promotion of sound design and
arrangement, the wise and efficient expenditure of public funds, and the prevention of the
recurrence of insanitary or unsafe dwelling accommodations or conditions of blight.
The Authority has considered these elements in proposing this Plan Amendment. This
amendment, in and of itself will promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. This
will have the intended result of preventing recurring elements of unsafe buildings and
blighting conditions. This will accomplish the goal of both the Downtown Business
Improvement District and the Grand Island City Council of increasing the number of
residential units available in the Downtown area.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 87 / 182
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between October 2018 and
March of 2019. Excess valuation should be available for this project for 15 years
beginning with the 2020 tax year.
9. Justification of Project
This is an historic building in downtown Grand Island that will be preserved with this
project. The addition of a new upper story residential unit is consistent with goals to
build 50 new residential units in downtown Grand Island by 2019 and with the goals of
the 2014 Grand Island housing study and Grow Grand Island. The main floor and
basement of the building are likely to be used for commercial and office space but are not
included within this application.
10. Cost Benefit Analysis Section 18-2113 of the Act, further requires the Authority
conduct a cost benefit analysis of the plan amendment in the event that Tax Increment
Financing will be used. This analysis must address specific statutory issues.
As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat.
(2012), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $159,800 in public funds from tax increment
financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority will be
required to complete the project. This property has requested a life/safety grant of
$80,000. This investment by the Authority will leverage $403,200 in private sector
financing; a private investment of $1.69 for every TIF and grant dollar investment.
Use of Funds Source of Funds.
Description TIF Funds Other
Grants Private Funds Total
Site Acquisition $77,000 _ $0 $77,000
Legal and Plan* $8,000 $0 $8,000
Engineering/Arch $8,000 $0 $8,000
Renovation $66,800 $80,000 $348,000 $494,800
Contingency $50,000 $50,000
TOTALS $159,800 $80,000 $398,000 $637,800
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2019,
valuation of approximately $77,000. Based on the 2017 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $1,734. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $473,000 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 88 / 182
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $10,654 annually. The tax
increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use
as city general tax revenues, for a period of 15 years, or such shorter time as may be
required to amortize the TIF bond, but would be used for eligible private redevelopment
costs to enable this project to be realized.
Estimated 2019 assessed value: $ 77,000
Estimated value after completion $ 550,,000
Increment value $ 473,000
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 10,654
TIF bond issue $ 159,814
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $77,000. The
proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $550,000. No tax shifts are
anticipated from the project. The project creates additional valuation that will support
taxing entities long after the project is paid off.
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
No additional public service needs have been identified. Existing water and waste
water facilities will not be impacted by this development. The electric utility has
sufficient capacity to support the development. It is not anticipated that this will impact
schools in any significant way. Fire and police protection are available and should not be
negatively impacted by this development. The addition of life safety elements to this
building including fire sprinklers and a second exit actually reduce the chances of
negative impacts to the fire department.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
This will provide additional housing options in the downtown area consistent with the
planned development in Downtown Grand Island.
(d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the
immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the
redevelopment project; and
This project will not have a negative impact on other employers in any manner
different from any other expanding business within the Grand Island area. This will
provide housing options for employees of Downtown businesses that wish to live
Downtown.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 89 / 182
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
This development will have a minimal impact on the Grand Island School
system as it will likely not result in any increased attendance. The units to be
developed with this project are unlikely to be family units, especially for families with
school age children. These are two bedroom second story units located in the historic
downtown.
The average number of persons per household in Grand Island for 2012 to 2016
according the American Community Survey is 2.65. Four additional household would
house 11 people. According to the 2010 census 19.2% of the population of Grand Island
was between the ages of 5 and 18. If the averages hold it would be expected that there
would be an additional 2 school age children generated by this development. According
to the National Center for Educational Statistics1 the 2015-16 enrollment for GIPS was
9,698 students and the cost per student in 2013-14 was $12,343 of that $5,546 is
generated locally. It is likely that the school system would be able to absorb any students
from this additional development without adding to school facilities or staffing.
(f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
This project is consistent the goals of the Council, the Downtown BID, the CRA, and
Grow Grand Island to create additional housing units in downtown Grand Island.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed during between December of
2018 and December of 2019. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the
property as of January 1, 2019. Excess valuation should be available for this project for
15 years beginning in 2020 with taxes due in 2021. Excess valuation will be used to pay
the TIF Indebtedness issued by the CRA per the contract between the CRA and the
developer for a period not to exceed 15 years or an amount not to exceed $159,800 the
projected amount of increment based upon the anticipated value of the project and current
tax rate. Based on the estimates of the expenses of the rehabilitation the developer will
spend at least $643,000 on TIF eligible activities in excess of other grants given.

determined in accordance with Section 3.2 and make such additional notations as are required to reflect any
additional principal advances or redemptions of such Note from time to time, including on the Table of

the payment of the principal of and interest on this Note, the nature and extent of the security thereby
created, the terms and conditions under which this Note has been issued, the rights and remedies of the
Registered Owner of this Note, and the rights, duties, immunities and obligations of the City and the
Authority. By the acceptance of this Note, the Registered Owner assents to all of the provisions of the
Resolution.
This Note is a special limited obligation of the Authority payable as to principal solely from and is
secured solely by the Tax Revenue (as defined in the Resolution) pledged under the Resolution, all on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Resolution. The Tax Revenue represents that portion of ad valorem
taxes levied by public bodies of the State of Nebraska, including the City, on real property in the Project
Area (as defined in this Resolution) which is in excess of that portion of such ad valorem taxes produced by
the levy at the rate fixed each year by or for each such public body upon the valuation of the Project Area as
of a certain date and as has been certified by the County Assessor of Hall County, Nebraska to the City in
accordance with law.
The principal hereon shall not be payable from the general funds of the City nor the Authority nor
shall this Note constitute a legal or equitable pledge, charge, lien, security interest or encumbrance upon any
of the property or upon any of the income, receipts, or money and securities of the City or the Authority or
of any other party other than those specifically pledged under the Resolution. This Note is not a debt of the
City or the Authority within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter limitation upon the
creation of general obligation indebtedness of the City or the Authority, and does not impose any general
liability upon the City or the Authority and neither the City nor the Authority shall be liable for the payment
hereof out of any funds of the City or the Authority other than the Tax Revenues and other funds pledged
under the Resolution, which Tax Revenues and other funds have been and hereby are pledged to the
punctual payment of the principal of and interest on this Note in accordance with the provisions of this
Resolution.

part at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed, plus accrued
interest on such principal amount to the date fixed for redemption. Reference is hereby made to the
Resolution for a description of the redemption procedures and the notice requirements pertaining thereto.
In the event this Note is called for prior redemption, notice of such redemption shall be given by
first-class mail to the Registered Owner hereof at its address as shown on the registration books maintained
by the Registrar not less than 10 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, unless waived by the Registered
Owner hereof. If this Note, or any portion thereof, shall have been duly called for redemption and notice of
such redemption duly given as provided, then upon such redemption date the portion of this Note so
redeemed shall become due and payable and if money for the payment of the portion of the Note so
redeemed shall be held for the purpose of such payment by the Registrar.
This Note is transferable by the Registered Owner hereof in person or by its attorney or legal
representative duly authorized in writing at the principal office of the Registrar, but only in the manner,
subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges provided in the Resolution, and upon surrender
and cancellation of this Note. Upon such transfer, a new Note of the same series and maturity and for the
same principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor. The Authority and the
Registrar may deem and treat the Registered Owner hereof as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of
receiving payment of or on account of principal of and interest due hereon and for all other purposes.
This note is being issued as a registered note without coupons. This note is subject to exchange as
provided in the Resolution.
It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions and things required to have
happened, to exist and to have been performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Note have happened,

restricted exclusively to such money or Escrow Obligations for any claim for such payment of whatsoever
nature on his part.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph of this Section 10.2, money or Escrow

Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area 26
November 2018
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island
intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area 1 with in the city, pursuant to
the Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the
financing of a specific infrastructure related project in Area 26.
Executive Summary:
Project Description
THE REDEVELOPMENT APPROXIMATELY 23 ACRES OF PROPERTY
LOCATED BETWEEN CAPITAL AVENUE AND 12TH STREET WEST OF THE
CENTRAL NEBRASKA RAIL ROAD TRACKS IN NORTHEAST GRAND ISLAND
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF 180 LOTS FOR SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED AND
ATTACHED HOUSING UNITS.
The use of Tax Increment Financing to aid in redevelopment expenses associated with
platting and installing the necessary infrastructure (streets, sanitary sewer, water, and
storm sewer) for the development of 180 residential lots being platted as The Orchard
Subdivision in northeast Grand Island. The use of Tax Increment Financing is an integral
part of the development plan and necessary to make this project affordable. The project
will result in 180 housing units with an average 2019 sale price $170,000. The 2014
Housing Study for the City of Grand Island identified a need of 1735 new housing units
within the City by 2019. Between January 2014 and August 2018 at total of 1034 new
units were permitted, leaving a deficit of over 700 units. This project and selling the
houses for the cost of construction would not be feasible without the use of TIF.
Orchard LLC – Hoppe Homes, LP owns the property being platted as The Orchard
Subdivision. This is vacant property that has been surrounded by developed and
developing property for more than 100 years. The developer is responsible for and has
provided evidence that they can secure adequate debt financing to cover the costs
associated with the remodeling and rehabilitation of this building. The Grand Island
Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) intends to pledge the ad valorem taxes
generated over multiple 15 year periods beginning January 1, 2020 towards the allowable
costs and associated financing for rehabilitation.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THE
PROPERTY WILL COME FROM THE FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY:
Property Description (the “Redevelopment Project Area”)

Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 120 / 182
Existing Land Use and Subject Property
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 121 / 182
The tax increment will be captured for the tax years the payments for which become
delinquent in years 2020 through 2043 inclusive. The TIF contract will be
structured so it can be amended each year for up to nine years to add the housing
units to be completed during that year. No single property will be eligible for TIF
for a period of more than 15 years.
The real property ad valorem taxes on the current valuation will continue to be paid
to the normal taxing entities. The increase will come from development of the
property for residential uses and the construction of houses in the project area as
permitted in the R-3SL Medium Density Residential Small Lot Zoning District.
Statutory Pledge of Taxes.
In accordance with Section 18-2147 of the Act and the terms of the Resolution
providing for the issuance of the TIF Note, the Authority hereby provides that any ad
valorem tax on the Redevelopment Project Area for the benefit of any public body be
divided for a period of fifteen years after the effective date of this provision as set forth in
the Redevelopment Contract, consistent with this Redevelopment Plan. The plan
anticipates that each phase of the development will constitute new effective date for the
purposes of determining the period of fifteen years. Said taxes shall be divided as
follows:
a. That portion of the ad valorem tax which is produced by levy at the rate
fixed each year by or for each public body upon the redevelopment project valuation shall
be paid into the funds, of each such public body in the same proportion as all other taxes
collected by or for the bodies; and
b. That portion of the ad valorem tax on real property in the
redevelopment project in excess of such amount, if any, shall be allocated to and, when
collected, paid into a special fund of the Authority to pay the principal of; the interest on,
and any premiums due in connection with the bonds, loans, notes, or advances on money
to, or indebtedness incurred by, whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise,such
Authority for financing or refinancing, in whole or in part, a redevelopment project.
When such bonds, loans, notes, advances of money, or indebtedness including interest
and premium due have been paid, the Authority shall so notify the County Assessor and
County Treasurer and all ad valorem taxes upon real property in such redevelopment
project shall be paid into the funds of the respective public bodies.
Pursuant to Section 18-2150 of the Act, the ad valorem tax so divided is hereby pledged
to the repayment of loans or advances of money, or the incurring of any indebtedness,
whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, by the CRA to finance or refinance, in
whole or in part, the redevelopment project, including the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on such bonds, loans, notes, advances, or indebtedness.
Redevelopment Plan Amendment Complies with the Act:
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 122 / 182
The Community Development Law requires that a Redevelopment Plan and Project
consider and comply with a number of requirements. This Plan Amendment meets the
statutory qualifications as set forth below.
1. The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared blighted and substandard by
action of the Grand Island City Council on May 22, 2018.[§18-2109] Such
declaration was made after a public hearing with full compliance with the public
notice requirements of §18-2115 of the Act.
2. Conformation to the General Plan for the Municipality as a whole. [§18-2103 (13)
(a) and §18-2110]
Grand Island adopted a Comprehensive Plan on July 13, 2004. This redevelopment plan
amendment and project are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, in that no changes in
the Comprehensive Plan elements are intended. This plan merely provides funding for
the developer to rehabilitate the building for permitted uses on this property as defined by
the current and effective zoning regulations. The Hall County Regional Planning
Commission held a public hearing at their meeting on October 3, 2018 and passed
Resolution 2019-011 confirming that this project is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan for the City of Grand Island. The Grand Island Public School District has submitted
a formal request to the Grand Island CRA to notify the District any time a TIF project
involving a housing subdivision and/or apartment complex is proposed within the
District. The school district was notified of this plan amendment prior to it being
submitted to the CRA for initial consideration.
3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the following
items: [§18-2103(13) (b)]
a. Land Acquisition:
This Redevelopment Plan for Area 26 provides for real property acquisition and this plan
amendment does not prohibit such acquisition. There is no proposed acquisition by the
authority.
b. Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The project to be implemented with this plan does not provide for the demolition and
removal any structures on this property.
c. Future Land Use Plan
See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. All of the area
around the site in private ownership is planned for low to medium density residential
development. This property is in private ownership. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] The
attached map also is an accurate site plan of the area after redevelopment. [§18-2111(5)]
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 123 / 182
City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 124 / 182
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
The area is zoned R-3SL Medium Density Small Lot Residential zone. No zoning
changes are anticipated with this project. New streets are anticipated and needed to
support this project and it is anticipated that TIF revenues will offset the costs of those
improvements. No changes are anticipated in building codes or ordinances. No other
planning changes contemplated. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The property is zoned R-3SL This zoning district allows for up to 50% of the property to
be covered with buildings and lot sizes ranging from 2100 square feet for Row houses to
a minimum of 3000 square feet for single family detached homes. The proposed
development meets those coverage and intensity of use requirements. [§18-2103(b) and
§18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Sanitary sewer and water are available to support this development. Both sanitary sewer
and water will need to be extended throughout the site. TIF revenues will be used to
offset the cost of these public utility improvements.
Electric utilities are sufficient for the proposed use of this property. Electric line will
need to be extended throughout the propert.
No other publicly owned utilities would be impacted by the development. §18-2103(b)
and §18-2111]
4. The Act requires a Redevelopment Plan provide for relocation of individuals and
families displaced as a result of plan implementation. This property is vacant and
has been vacant for more than 1 year; no relocation is contemplated or necessary.
[§18-2103.02]
5. No member of the Authority, nor any employee thereof holds any interest in any
property in this Redevelopment Project Area. [§18-2106] No members of the
authority or staff of the CRA have any interest in this property.
6. Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider:
a. Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated
proceeds from disposal to redevelopers.
The developer is estimated a purchase value of $2,000,000 as an eligible expense. The
estimated costs of grading, streets, sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer is $4,000,000
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 125 / 182
The total of the eligible expenses for this project is estimated by the developer at
$6,000,000.
No property will be transferred to redevelopers by the Authority. The developer will
provide and secure all necessary financing.
b. Statement of proposed method of financing the redevelopment project.
The developer will provide all necessary financing for the project. The Authority will
assist the project by granting the sum of $6,000,000 from the proceeds of the TIF. This
indebtedness will be repaid from the Tax Increment Revenues generated from the project.
TIF revenues shall be made available to repay the original debt and associated interest
after January 1, 2021 through December 2043.
c. Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this plan.
7. Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an
authority shall consider whether the proposed land uses and building requirements in the
redevelopment project area are designed with the general purpose of accomplishing, in
conformance with the general plan, a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development
of the city and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs,
promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare, as
well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other
things, adequate provision for traffic, vehicular parking, the promotion of safety from
fire, panic, and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of the
healthful and convenient distribution of population, the provision of adequate
transportation, water, sewerage, and other public utilities, schools, parks, recreational and
community facilities, and other public requirements, the promotion of sound design and
arrangement, the wise and efficient expenditure of public funds, and the prevention of the
recurrence of insanitary or unsafe dwelling accommodations or conditions of blight.
The Authority has considered these elements in proposing this Plan. This amendment, in
and of itself will promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. This will have the
intended result of preventing recurring elements of unsafe buildings and blighting
conditions. This will accomplish the goal of increasing the number of residential units
within the City of Grand Island and encouraging infill development.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to begin in the 2019 year. The subdivision will
likely be built in three phases with approximately 60 lots per phase. The developer is
anticipating construction of 20 units per year though this may be adjusted for market
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 126 / 182
demand. It is anticipated that the final homes in this development will be built in 2027
with the tax increment on those homes extending to 2042. Excess valuation should be
available for the first homes built with this project for 15 years beginning with the 2021
tax year.
9. Justification of Project
The 2014 housing study for the City of Grand Island projected that by 2019 we would
need an additional 1734 new housing units. Between January 1 of 2014 and August of
2018 permits for 1028 new housing units had bee issued. The current housing market, a
combination of the cost of producing housing and the prevailing wages, has not created a
situation that gives the markets sufficient incentive to build the number housing units
required to meet community needs. This lack of housing options impacts a variety of
other areas within the community including work force development, overcrowding,
maintenance of residential units and rents. This project will create new housing options
in one of the oldest areas of the City. These new housing options include row houses
along with townhomes and single family houses on smaller lots. All of this should lower
the cost of construction and the overall sales price of the homes, making them more
affordable.
10. Cost Benefit Analysis Section 18-2113 of the Act, further requires the Authority
conduct a cost benefit analysis of the plan amendment in the event that Tax Increment
Financing will be used. This analysis must address specific statutory issues.
As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat.
(2019), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $6,000,0000 in public funds from tax
increment financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority
will be required to complete the project. This investment by the Authority will leverage
$6,000,000 in private sector financing; a private investment of $5.25 for every TIF and
grant dollar investment.
Use of Funds Source of Funds.
Description TIF Funds Private Funds Total
Site Acquisition $2,000,000 $ $2,000,000
Legal and Plan* $80,000 $80,000
Financing Fees $20,000 $20,000
Engineering/Arch $50,000 $50,000
New Construction $31,000,000 $31,000,000
On Site Improvements $4,000,000 $4,000,000
Contingency $6,000,000 $350,000 $350,000
TOTALS $6,000,000 $31,500,000 $37,500,00
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 127 / 182
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2019,
valuation of approximately $203,000. Based on the 2017 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $4,573. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $39,800,000 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $890,000 annually. The tax
increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use
as city general tax revenues, for the period of the bonds, but would be used for eligible
private redevelopment costs to enable this project to be realized.
Estimated 2019 assessed value: $ 203,000
Estimated value after completion $ 40,000,000
Increment value $ 39,797,000
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 890,000
TIF bond issue $ 6,000,000
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $203,000.
The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $39,800,000 over the
course of the next nine years. The project creates additional valuation that will support
taxing entities long after the project is paid off along with providing 181 additional
housing units that can be built and sold for less than $200,000.
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
Existing water and waste water facilities will not be negatively impacted by this
development. The electric utility has sufficient capacity to support the development.
This is infill development with services connecting to existing line with capacity. This
development is likely to result in a larger number of students in the Lincoln Elementary
School service area. Fire and police protection are available and should not be negatively
impacted by this development though there will be some increased need for officers and
fire fighters as the City continues to grow whether from this project or others.
Housing of the type proposed is likely to attract families to the neighborhood.
Lincoln Elementary school is currently near or at capacity and this will likely cause some
issues. The project is proposed for development at about 20 units per year so the impact
will not be immediate.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
This will provide additional housing options for the residents of Grand Island. The
National Homebuilders Association estimates that each new single family home is the
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 128 / 182
equivalent of 2.5 full time equivalent jobs so this development at 20 houses per year
would represent an additional 50 FTE’s within the city for the next nine years.
(d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the
immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the
redevelopment project; and
This project will not have a negative impact on other employers different from any
other expanding business within the Grand Island area. Grand Island does have tight
labor market and part of that is due to the availability and cost of housing. This
development may help alleviate some of those pressures.
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
This development will have an impact on the Grand Island School system and
will likely result in additional students at both the elementary and secondary school
levels.
The average number of persons per household in Grand Island for 2012 to 2016
according the American Community Survey is 2.65. 181 additional households would
house 480 people. According to the 2010 census 19.2% of the population of Grand Island
was between the ages of 5 and 18. If the averages hold it would be expected that there
would be an additional 92 school age children generated by this development. If this
develops at a rate of 20 houses per year for 9 years approximately 10 children would be
added to the school age population every year with this development. These 10 children
will likely be spread over the full school age population from elementary to secondary
school. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics1 the 2015-16
enrollment for GIPS was 9,698 students and the cost per student in 2013-14 was $12,343
of that $5,546 is generated locally. The Grand Island Public School System was notified
on October 16, 2018 that the CRA would be considering this application at their
November 14, 2018 meeting.
(f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
This project is consistent the goals of the 2014 Housing Study for the City of Grand
Island to create more than 1700 new dwelling units by 2019. It appears that the City of
Grand Island will have added more than 1000 units by 2019 but that still leaves a deficit
of the projected need of 700 units. The local housing market is not capable of producing
the number of units needed at market rate given the costs of building and development.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed during between Spring of
2019 and the end of 2028. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the
1 https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/districtsearch/district_detail.asp?ID2=3100016
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 129 / 182
property as of January 1, 2019 for the first phase with each phase based on the preceeding
year’s valuation of the property included in the amendment for that year. Excess
valuation should be available for this project beginning in 2020 with taxes due in 2021.
Excess valuation will be used to pay the TIF Indebtedness issued by the CRA per the
contract between the CRA and the developer for a period not to exceed 15 years on each
property or an amount not to exceed $6,000,000 the projected amount of increment based
upon the anticipated value of the project and current tax rate. Based on the estimates of
the expenses of the rehabilitation the developer will spend at least $6,000,000 on TIF
eligible activities.

redevelopment of the first floor the west side of Old Sears located at 411 W. 3rd street for
6,500 square foot of commercial space and one 500 square foot luxury one bedroom
accessible apartment.This is the first of the anticipated additional TIF applications will
be proposed for commercial uses within the remainder of the building. The use of Tax
Increment Financing is an integral part of the development plan and necessary to make
this project profitable. The project will result in renovating a portion of this building into
a market rate residential unit and 6,500 square feet of first floor commercial space. This
project would not be feasible without the use of TIF.

Redevelopment Plan Amendment Complies with the Act:
The Community Development Law requires that a Redevelopment Plan and Project
consider and comply with a number of requirements. This Plan Amendment meets the
statutory qualifications as set forth below.
1. The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared blighted and substandard by
action of the Grand Island City Council on December 19, 2000.[§18-2109] Such
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 164 / 182
declaration was made after a public hearing with full compliance with the public
notice requirements of §18-2115 of the Act.
2. Conformation to the General Plan for the Municipality as a whole. [§18-2103 (13)
(a) and §18-2110]
Grand Island adopted a Comprehensive Plan on July 13, 2004. This redevelopment plan
amendment and project are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, in that no changes in
the Comprehensive Plan elements are intended. This plan merely provides funding for
the developer to rehabilitate the building for permitted uses on this property as defined by
the current and effective zoning regulations. The Hall County Regional Planning
Commission held a public hearing at their meeting on January 2, 2019 and passed
Resolution 2019-0? confirming that this project is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan for the City of Grand Island. The Grand Island Public School District has submitted
a formal request to the Grand Island CRA to notify the District any time a TIF project
involving a housing subdivision and/or apartment complex is proposed within the
District. The school district was notified of this plan amendment at the time it was
submitted to the CRA for initial consideration.
3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the following
items: [§18-2103(13) (b)]
a. Land Acquisition:
The Redevelopment Plan for Area 1 provides for real property acquisition and this plan
amendment does not prohibit such acquisition. There is no proposed acquisition by the
authority.
b. Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The project to be implemented with this plan does not provide for the demolition and
removal any structures on this property. Demotion of internal structures to accommodate
the redevelopment is anticipated and permitted.
c. Future Land Use Plan
See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. All of the area
around the site in private ownership is planned for Downtown Commercial development;
this includes housing and commercial uses within the same structure. This property is in
private ownership. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] The attached map also is an accurate site
plan of the area after redevelopment. [§18-2111(5)]

City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 166 / 182
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
The area is zoned B3-Heavy Business zone. No zoning changes are anticipated with this
project. No changes are anticipated in street layouts or grades. No changes are
anticipated in building codes or ordinances. Nor are any other planning changes
contemplated. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The developer is rehabilitating the existing building. The developer is not proposing to
increase the size of the building and current building meets the applicable regulations
regarding site coverage and intensity of use. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Sewer and water are available to support this development. .
Electric utilities are sufficient for the proposed use of this building.
No other utilities would be impacted by the development.
The developer will be responsible for replacing any sidewalks damaged during
construction of the project.
No other utilities would be impacted by the development. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
4. The Act requires a Redevelopment Plan provide for relocation of individuals and
families displaced as a result of plan implementation. This property is vacant and
has been vacant for more than 1 year; no relocation is contemplated or necessary.
[§18-2103.02]
5. No member of the Authority, nor any employee thereof holds any interest in any
property in this Redevelopment Project Area. [§18-2106] No members of the
authority or staff of the CRA have any interest in this property. Tom Gdowski, is
President of Equitable bank and most likely will be part of the bank approval of a loan for
this project.
6. Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider:
a. Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated
proceeds from disposal to redevelopers.
The developer is purchasing the rights to just this portion of the property through a
condominium arrangement for $52,000. The estimated costs of rehabilitation of this
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 167 / 182
property is $484,0000, planning related expenses for Architectural and Engineering
services of $8,000 and are included as a TIF eligible expense. Legal, Developer and
Audit Fees of $9,600 including a reimbursement to the City and the CRA of $5,600 are
included as TIF eligible expense. The total of eligible expenses for this project exceeds
$540,000.
No property will be transferred to redevelopers by the Authority. The developer will
provide and secure all necessary financing.
b. Statement of proposed method of financing the redevelopment project.
The developer will provide all necessary financing for the project. The Authority will
assist the project by granting the sum of $199,000 from the proceeds of the TIF. This
indebtedness will be repaid from the Tax Increment Revenues generated from the project.
TIF revenues shall be made available to repay the original debt and associated interest
after January 1, 2021 through December 2034.
c. Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this plan.
7. Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an
authority shall consider whether the proposed land uses and building requirements in the
redevelopment project area are designed with the general purpose of accomplishing, in
conformance with the general plan, a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development
of the city and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs,
promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare, as
well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other
things, adequate provision for traffic, vehicular parking, the promotion of safety from
fire, panic, and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of the
healthful and convenient distribution of population, the provision of adequate
transportation, water, sewerage, and other public utilities, schools, parks, recreational and
community facilities, and other public requirements, the promotion of sound design and
arrangement, the wise and efficient expenditure of public funds, and the prevention of the
recurrence of insanitary or unsafe dwelling accommodations or conditions of blight.
The Authority has considered these elements in proposing this Plan Amendment. This
amendment, in and of itself will promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. This
will have the intended result of preventing recurring elements of unsafe buildings and
blighting conditions. This will accomplish the goal of both the Downtown Business
Improvement District and the Grand Island City Council of increasing the number of
residential units available in the Downtown area and refurbish street level commercial
space that has been vacant for several years.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 168 / 182
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between February 2019 and
December of 2019. Excess valuation should be available for this project for 15 years
beginning with the 2020 tax year.
9. Justification of Project
This is an historic building in downtown Grand Island that will be preserved with this
project. The addition of a new residential unit is consistent with goals to build 50 new
residential units in downtown Grand Island by 2019 and with the goals of the 2014 Grand
Island housing study and Grow Grand Island. The primary use of the street level space
for commercial development is consistent with the long term development plans for
Downtown.
10. Cost Benefit Analysis Section 18-2113 of the Act, further requires the Authority
conduct a cost benefit analysis of the plan amendment in the event that Tax Increment
Financing will be used. This analysis must address specific statutory issues.
As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat.
(2012), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $199,000 in public funds from tax increment
financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority will be
required to complete the project. This investment by the Authority will leverage
$393,600 in private sector financing; a private investment of $2.03 for every TIF dollar
invested.
Use of Funds Source of Funds.
Description TIF Funds Other
Grants Private Funds Total
Site Acquisition $52,000 _$0 $52,000
Legal and Plan* $9,600 $0 $9,600
Engineering/Arch $8,000 $0 $8,000
Renovation $129,400 $354,600 $484,000
Contingency $50,000 $50,000
TOTALS $199,000 $393,600 $603,600
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2019,
valuation of approximately $52,000. Based on the 2017 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $1,171. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $588,000 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $13,245 annually. The tax
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 169 / 182
increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use
as city general tax revenues, for a period of 15 years, or such shorter time as may be
required to amortize the TIF bond, but would be used for eligible private redevelopment
costs to enable this project to be realized.
Estimated 2019 assessed value: $ 52,000
Estimated value after completion $ 640,000
Increment value $ 588,000
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 13,245
TIF bond issue $ 199,000
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $52,000. The
proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $640,000. No tax shifts are
anticipated from the project. The project creates additional valuation that will support
taxing entities long after the project is paid off.
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
No additional public service needs have been identified. Existing water and waste
water facilities will not be impacted by this development. The electric utility has
sufficient capacity to support the development. It is not anticipated that this will impact
schools in any significant way. Fire and police protection are available and should not be
negatively impacted by this development. The addition of life safety elements to this
building including fire sprinklers and a second exit actually reduce the chances of
negative impacts to the fire department.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
This will provide additional housing and commercial space options in the downtown
area consistent with the planned development in Downtown Grand Island.
(d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the
immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the
redevelopment project; and
This project will not have a negative impact on other employers in any manner
different from any other expanding business within the Grand Island area. This will
provide housing options for employees of Downtown businesses that wish to live
Downtown and will refurbish Downtown commercial space.
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/12/2018 Page 170 / 182
This development will have a minimal impact on the Grand Island School
system as it will likely not result in any increased attendance. The unit to be
developed with this project is a one bedroom unit and unlikely to be a family unit,
especially for families with school age children.
The average number of persons per household in Grand Island for 2012 to 2016
according the American Community Survey is 2.65. One additional household in a one
bedroom unit would likely house a maximum of two people. According to the 2010
census 19.2% of the population of Grand Island was between the ages of 5 and 18. If the
averages hold it would be expected that there would be no additional school age children
generated by this development. According to the National Center for Educational
Statistics1 the 2015-16 enrollment for GIPS was 9,698 students and the cost per student in
2013-14 was $12,343 of that $5,546 is generated locally. It is unlikely that there will be
any school age children associated with this project.
(f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
This project is consistent the goals of the Council, the Downtown BID, the CRA, and
Grow Grand Island to create additional housing units in downtown Grand Island.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed during between December of
2018 and December of 2019. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the
property as of January 1, 2019. Excess valuation should be available for this project for
15 years beginning in 2020 with taxes due in 2021. Excess valuation will be used to pay
the TIF Indebtedness issued by the CRA per the contract between the CRA and the
developer for a period not to exceed 15 years or an amount not to exceed $199,000 the
projected amount of increment based upon the anticipated value of the project and current
tax rate. Based on the estimates of the expenses of the rehabilitation the developer will
spend at least $603,000 on TIF eligible activities in excess of other grants given.

$210,000 in TIF to be allocated to allowable expenses including acquisition,
renovation expenses and new utilities.
A large financial gap exists on this project after
conventional financing is utilized. A combination of additional owner equity
and TIF funds will be needed to proceed with this project and make a
sufficient return.
