7.Redevelopment Plan Amendment CRA Area 2 – Bosselman - 1607 S.
Locust
a. Consideration of Resolution 348 – Forward a Redevelopment Plan
Amendment to the Hall County Regional Planning Commission for
1607 S. Locust Street, Lot One of Fonner Fourth Subdivision –
Bosselman Real Estate LLC.
b.Consideration of Resolution 349 – Resolution of Intent to enter into a
Site Specific Redevelopment Contract and Approval of related actions
30-day notice to city council for 1607 S. Locust Street, Lot One of
Fonner Fourth Subdivision – Bosselman Real Estate LLC.
Nabity stated the amendment to the redevelopment plan that was approved in
2015. This amended plan changes the phase 2 of the project, proposed hotel
along Locust Street to a quick serve restaurant. The anticipated valuation is
about $500,000 as opposed to the $8,000,000 anticipated for the hotel. Because
it is a significant difference in use the plan and contract will need to be
amended. Bosselman’s have made the determination that another hotel at this
time would not be a good investment especially with the Fonner Park casino
hotel locating just to the east of this property. The impact of the COVID
pandemic on the hotel industry has also added to this decision.
A motion was made by Pirnie and second by Dutoit to approve Resolution 348
and 349. Upon roll call vote all, voted aye. Motion carried 5-0

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 September 13, 1999.[§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 acquire the necessary property and provide the necessary site work for
the construction of a permitted use on this property.
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 2 provides for real property acquisition and this plan
amendment does not prohibit such acquisition. There is no proposed acquisition by the
authority. The applicant will be acquiring the property from the current owner.
b. Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The project to be implemented with this plan will not require demolition of any existing
structures.
c. Future Land Use Plan
See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. The site is
planned for commercial development within this arterial corridor allowing for maximum
exposure. Residential and hotel uses are also permitted in this area [§18-2103(b) and
§18-2111]. The attached map also is an accurate site plan of the area after
redevelopment. [§18-2111(5)]

Nor are any other planning changes contemplated. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The developer is proposing to remodel the existing retail building for a combination of
retail uses, office uses and residential dormitories. In addition, there are future phases that

corner of the site and additional in-line professional office space along the southern
property line. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Sewer and water are available to support this development. Connections for water and

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 36 / 230
CRA Area 2 Redevelopment Plan Amendment 1607 S. Locust April 2021
4. The Act requires a Redevelopment Plan provide for relocation of individuals and
families displaced as a result of plan implementation. This amendment does not
provide for acquisition of any residences and therefore, no relocation is
contemplated. [§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]
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 proposing to purchased this property for redevelopment for $1,700,000
provided that TIF is available for the project as defined. The cost of property acquisition
is being included as a TIF eligible expense. Costs for site preparation, utility extensions,
building plans, and renovation of the existing building $6,591,600 and are included as
TIF eligible expenses for phase 1. Phase 2 eligible expenses include sitework/utility
extensions, architecture and legal fees of $315,000. Phase 3 eligible expenses include
architecture and legal fees of $120,000. The total amount of the TIF eligible expenses in
this request is over $8,700,000 It is estimated based on the proposed increased valuation
for Phase 1 of the project of $11,617,706 will result in $3,836,200 of increment generated
over a 15 year period. Phase 2 would generate an increase in value of $8,083,000
521,273,with $2,491,229 102,114 generated over a 14 9 year period. Phase 3 would
generate an increase of $787,000 with $225,230 17,325 generated over a 13 year period
annually for the remainder of the term after construction. A maximum total of
$6,552,000 4,094,242 of TIF would be available to cover $8,726,600 worth of TIF
eligible expenses. It is anticipated that the developer will spend almost $2,175,000 more
on eligible expenses than will be generated by the tax increment.
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
has assisted the project by granting the sum of $6,552,000 for the project from the
proceeds of the TIF Indebtedness issued by the Authority. 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 after January 1, 2018 through December
2032.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 37 / 230
CRA Area 2 Redevelopment Plan Amendment 1607 S. Locust April 2021
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, in
that it will allow for the utilization of the existing building and development of additional
commercial facilities at this location. This lot is surrounded by similar commercial uses.
This will not increase traffic in the area. New commercial development will raise
property values and provide a stimulus to keep surrounding properties properly
maintained. This will have the intended result of preventing recurring elements of unsafe
buildings and blighting conditions.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of Phase 1 of this project is anticipated to be completed between January of
2016 and December of 2016. Excess valuation should be available for this project for 15
years beginning with the 2017 tax year. It is anticipated that Phases 2 will be completed
before the end of 2021. Phase 3 will be completed within 5 years of the beginning of the
project when feasible depending on market conditions.
9. Justification of Project
The property is located at the entrance to the Fonner Park and the Nebraska State Fair
Grounds. These facilities are enjoyed and visited by hundreds of thousands of people
each year. This commercial property was vacated in May of 2015 and this is an excellent
chance to redevelop the property as the corporate headquarters for a Grand Island based
company that does business all over the United States. The proposed project will be
highly visible and complement the image of both the Community and the Bosselman
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 38 / 230
CRA Area 2 Redevelopment Plan Amendment 1607 S. Locust April 2021
Companies. The potential addition of a hotel at this location increases the synergy
between Fonner Park and the Bosselman Conference center and South Locust. This will
provide hotel rooms within close walking distance to these facilities. Market conditions
and the likelihood that a casino and hotel complex will be completed on the Fonner
Grounds greatly reduce the commercial viability of a hotel at this site. This project does
not propose to tear down or substantially alter any buildings with historic value.
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
Bosselman Skagway South Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $6,552,000 4,094,000 in public funds from
tax increment financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment
Authority will be required to complete the project. This project still has more than
$8,726,600 8,576,600 worth of TIF eligible expenses. The developer will be responsible
for funding the additional $2,174,600 4,482,600 as private investment. The total private
investment on this project is the total of the costs not eligible for TIF $11,215,000
3,175,000 plus the $2,174,600 4,482,600 of TIF eligible costs that will not be covered by
the Tax Increment for a total private investment of $13,389,600 7,657,600. This
$6,552,000 4,094,000 investment by the Authority and the people of Grand Island will
leverage $13,389,600 7,657,600 in private sector financing; a private investment of $2.04
1.87 for every TIF dollar investment.

Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped has a January 1, 2015, valuation of
approximately $2,290,814. Based on the 2014 levy this would result in a real property tax of
approximately $50,292. It is anticipated that the assessed value will increase by almost
$20,500,000 12,926,014 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $451,000 284,418 annually resulting
in $6,552,000 4,094,242 of increment over the 15 year period. 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.

(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated 2020 base valuation of
$2,290,814 2,652,701. The proposed redevelopment and commercial construction at this
location will result in an additional $20,488,175 12,926,014 of taxable valuation based on
valuations of similar properties. 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. The project will not add any tax burdens to taxing entities. Therefore no tax
shifts will occur.
(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. Fire and police protection are available and should not be impacted by this
development.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
This project will not negatively impact employers or employees in the area directly.
Bosselman Companies will be able to continue employing people within the City of
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
No impacts are anticipated outside of the city or immediate area to total employment
from this project other than the incremental increase due to the construction.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 41 / 230
CRA Area 2 Redevelopment Plan Amendment 1607 S. Locust April 2021
(e)Impacts on the student population of school districts within the city or village;
and
This project is unlikely to create any direct increase in cost for schools in the area. This
project does not involve housing and is renovation of an existing commercial site.
(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 will utilize a piece of property in the Grand Island City Limits that is at the
entrance to the Fonner Park and the Nebraska State Fair grounds. This property has been
was the home of Skagway South for more than 20 years and the Bosselman Corporate
Offices since 2016. Skagway closed in 2015 this past May leaving the building mostly
vacant. This project will change this entrance in to the fairgrounds in a positive way,
rehabilitate and reutilize the existing building and provide hotel rooms within walking
distance of the fairgrounds.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed during between October 2015
and December of 2018, depending on the market demand for the buildings in phases 2
and 3. Phases 2 will be completed by the end of 2021 and Phase 3 is dependent on
market demand. The date of TIF will be established with the approved contract but it is
anticipated that he base tax year should be calculated on the value of the property as of
January 1, 2016. Excess valuation should be available for this project for 15 years
beginning with the 2017 tax year. 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 $6,552,000 the projected
amount of the eligible expenses for this project. Based on the purchase price of the
property and estimates of the expenses of renovation activities and associated engineering
fees, the developer will spend more than $8,700,000 on TIF eligible activities. As part of
the 2021 amendment it is anticipated that eligible activities will still exceed $8,700,000
and that the total TIF generated will be $4,094,000 not $6,552,000. The eligible activities
from Phase 1 of this project exceed the total TIF that will be generated by completion of
all three phases of the project.

the Comprehensive Plan elements are intended. This plan merely provides funding for
the developer to acquire the necessary property and provide the necessary site work,
utilities and street improvements needed for the construction of a permitted use on this
property. The Hall County Regional Planning Commission held a public hearing at their
meeting on May 5, 2021 and passed Resolution 2021-05 confirming that this project is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Grand Island.
3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the following
items: [§18-2103(26) (b)]

e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The developer is proposing to demolish the current structure and construct a car repair
shop with nine service bays.
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Sewer and water are available to support this 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 amendment does not
provide for acquisition of any residences and therefore, no relocation is
contemplated. [§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]
6. Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider:

$20,000. An additional $40,000 of expenses for demolition, along with on-site
improvements of $11,000. Including a $5,700 of expenses for legal work, fees and
financial tracking of this project are also included as eligible expenses. The total
estimated eligible expenses are 321,700$. The request for TIF assistance is $318,825. It is
estimated based on the proposed increased valuation to $1,218,278 that available TIF

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, in
that it will allow for the reconstruction and enhanced utilization of commercial space this
location. This will have the intended result of preventing recurring elements of unsafe
buildings and blighting conditions.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed October of 2021. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning with the 2022 tax
year.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 66 / 230
Ebc Obermiller LLC: 722 N Eddy Street P a g e | 8
9. Justification of Project
This is infill development in an area with all city sewer and water available. The
developer owns other properties in the area and has almost 50 full time employees
working at those locations and is ready to expand in this area of the community.
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
project, including:

Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is expected to have has a January 1, 2022,
valuation of approximately $1,218,278. Based on the 2021 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $26,517. It is anticipated that the assessed value will increase by
$,1581,011 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This development will
result in an estimated tax increase of over $22,220 annually resulting in approximately $333,307
of increment over the 15 year period. 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.

Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 22,220

(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area has an estimated valuation of $207,120. The
proposed improvements at this location will result in at least an additional $1,011,158 of
taxable valuation based on the Hall County Assessor’s office evaluation of the project.
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. The project will not add
any tax burdens to taxing entities. Therefore no tax shifts will occur.
(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. Fire and police protection are available and should not be impacted by this
development.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
The proposed uses at this site would compete for skilled mechanics positions. The
developer already employs almost 50 people and most of those workers would work at
this facility.
(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 is unlikely to have an impact on other employers and employees within
the city.
(e)Impacts on the student population of school districts within the city or village;
and
This project is unlikely to create any direct increase in cost for schools in the area. This
project does not involve housing and will demolish and reconstruct a facility for
commercial use at this site.

(f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
The future land use of this area recommends mixed use commercial development in this
area of the community. Eddy Street is commercial corridor and in 2020 the city rezoned
the Eddy Street corridor between 9th Street and 17th to B2 General Business Zone. The
whole corridor from 4th Street to Five Points is zoned B2. North on Eddy at the Five
Points area, the city has developed a plan to construct a major round about to alleviate
traffic congestion allowing for a better flow of traffic through the area. Investment in this
property will continue to promote the Eddy Street corridor as a sustainable area for
commercial development as the city grows.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed October 2021. The base tax
year should be calculated on the value of the property as of January 1, 2021. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning in the 2022 tax year.
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. The full
amount of TIF generated over a 15 year period would be $333,307 and the developer has
.to cover just over $321,000 of eligible expenses318,285requested $

first shall be furnished to the Authority evidence of such loss, theft or destruction satisfactory to the
Authority, together with indemnity to the Authority satisfactory to the Authority. If any such Note has

Authority may pay the same without surrender thereof. Upon the issuance of any substitute Note, the
Authority may require the payment of an amount by the Owner sufficient to reimburse the Authority for
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable
fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
Section 3.10. Non-presentment of Note. If any Note is not presented for payment when the
principal thereof becomes due and payable as therein and herein provided, whether at the stated maturity
thereof or call for optional or mandatory redemption or otherwise, if funds sufficient to pay such Note
have been made available to the Registrar all liability of the Authority to the Owner thereof for the
payment of such Note shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged, and thereupon it
shall be the duty of the Registrar to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit
of the Owner of such Note, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of
whatever nature on their part under this Resolution or on, or with respect to, said Note. If any Note is not
presented for payment within five years following the date when such Note becomes due, the Registrar
shall repay to the Authority the funds theretofore held by it for payment of such Note, and such Note
shall, subject to the defense of any applicable statute of limitation, thereafter be an unsecured obligation
of the Authority, and the Registered Owner thereof shall be entitled to look only to the Authority for
payment, and then only to the extent of the amount so repaid to it by the Registrar, and the Authority shall
not be liable for any interest thereon and shall not be regarded as a trustee of such money.
ARTICLE IV

Debt Service Account from the Surplus Account to pay the principal being redeemed plus the accrued
interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption. The Finance Director may effect partial redemptions of
any Note without notice to the Owner and without presentation and surrender of such Note, but total
redemption of any Note may only be effected with notice to the Owner and upon presentation and surrender
of such Note to the Registrar. Notice of a total redemption of any Note shall be sent by the Registrar by

accrued interest thereon is being called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.
Section 4.3. Determination of Outstanding Principal Amount of Note. Notwithstanding the
amount indicated on the face of any Note, the principal amount of such Note actually Outstanding from time
to time shall be determined and maintained by the Registrar. The Registrar shall make a notation in the
books of registry maintained for each Note indicating the original principal advance of such Note as
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
Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount attached to each Note if it is presented to the Registrar for that
purpose. Any Owner may examine the books of registry maintained by the Registrar upon request, and the
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 96 / 230
Wald 12 to Azure Investments

Registrar shall grant such request as soon as reasonably practicable. Any failure of the Registrar to record a

affect the Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount shown on the records of the Registrar.

solely to the payment of the principal on the Note. Such allocation and pledge is and shall be for the sole
and exclusive benefit of the Owner and shall be irrevocable.
Section 6.3. Potential Insufficiency of Revenue. Neither the Authority nor the City makes any
representations, covenants, or warranties to the Owner that the Revenue will be sufficient to pay the

This Note is issued by the Authority under the authority of and in full compliance with the
Constitution and statutes of the State of Nebraska, including particularly Article VIII, Section 12 of the
Nebraska Constitution, Sections 18-2101 to 18-2153, inclusive, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, as

______________, 2021, as from time to time amended and supplemented (the “Resolution”).

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.

or certain specified securities shall have been deposited with the Registrar sufficient and held in trust solely
for the payment hereof; and for the other terms and provisions thereof.
This Note is subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the Authority, in whole or in
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,

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.

thereof, plus interest on such principal to the due date thereof, either (1) shall have been made or
caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof, or (2) shall have been provided by
irrevocably depositing with the Registrar for the Note, in trust and irrevocably set aside exclusively
for such payment, (A) money sufficient to make such payment or (B) Escrow Obligations maturing

Provided that, with respect to any total redemption of any Note, notice of redemption shall have

notice, satisfactory in form, shall have been filed with the Registrar.
At such time as any Note or portion thereof shall no longer be outstanding hereunder, and, except

completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Registrar to hold such money or Escrow
Obligations, without liability to the Owners, in trust for the benefit of the Owners, who thereafter shall be
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

paying agent at such date, or for five years after the date of deposit of such money, if deposited with the
Registrar after the date when such Note became due and payable, shall, at the written request of the
Authority be repaid by the Registrar to the Authority as the Authority’s property and free from the trust

12
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 Amended 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 Amended 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
Successor Redeveloper hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Authority shall have completed
its required performances and satisfied all of its obligations under this Amended Redevelopment
Contract upon the issuance of the Indebtedness and the subsequent payment of grant amounts to
the Successor Redeveloper as set forth in Article III hereof and by complying with the
obligations of all Amended Redevelopment Contract Amendments.
Section 6.02 Additional Remedies of Authority
In the event that (each such event an "event of default"):
(a) the Successor Redeveloper, or its successor in interest, shall fail to
commence the construction of the improvements included in the Project Costs on or
before July 1, 2021, 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 Successor Redeveloper, shall fail to pay real estate taxes or assessments
on the Redevelopment Project Property owned by the Successor Redeveloper or any part
thereof when due; and
(c) there is a violation of any other provision of this Amended Redevelopment
Contract, and such failure or action by the Successor Redeveloper has not been cured
within 90 days following written notice from Authority, then the Successor Redeveloper
shall be in default of this Amended 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 Successor Redeveloper pursuant to Section
3.04 of this Amended 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 Successor Redeveloper to Authority within 30 days of demand from Authority given
to the Successor 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
Successor Redeveloper demanding payment.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 122 / 230
13
Payment of the Liquidated Damages Amount shall not relieve Successor Redeveloper of
its obligation to pay real estate taxes or assessments with respect to the Redevelopment Project
Property and the Project.
Successor 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 Successor Redeveloper related to Project
Costs. Each such bond shall show the Authority and the City as well as the Successor
Redeveloper as beneficiary of any such bond, as and to the extent commercially obtainable (as
determined in the discretion of the Authority). In addition, the Successor Redeveloper shall
provide a penal bond with good and sufficient surety to be approved by the Authority,
conditioned that the Successor 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 Successor 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 Successor Redeveloper Defaults.
In the event the Successor Redeveloper fails to perform any other provisions of this
Amended Redevelopment Contract (other than those specific provisions contained in Section
6.02), the Successor Redeveloper shall be in default. In such an instance, the Authority may seek
to enforce the terms of this Amended Redevelopment Contract or exercise any other remedies
that may be provided in this Amended 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 Amended 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 Amended Redevelopment Contract,
neither the Authority nor the Successor 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 Successor 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
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 123 / 230
14
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 Amended 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 Amended Redevelopment Contract.
The sole obligation of the Authority under this Amended Redevelopment Contract shall be the
issuance of the Indebtedness and granting of a portion of the proceeds thereof to Successor
Redeveloper, and full compliance with the terms specifically set forth Article III hereof and
payment of TIF Revenues pledged pursuant to the Resolution. The Successor 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.

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,

claimed, of whatsoever kind or character, to property (including loss of use thereof) or persons,

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 - 5/12/2021 Page 140 / 230
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 April 3, 2019 and passed
Resolution 2019-08 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. The developer has acquired the property
and will be including acquisition as an eligible activity. 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 - 5/12/2021 Page 142 / 230
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 not been used for any residential purposes. [§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 purchased the property through for $165,000. The estimated costs of
rehabilitation of this property is $1,704,929, planning related expenses for Architectural
and Engineering services of $85,246 and are included as a TIF eligible expense. Legal,
Developer and Audit Fees of $5,600 for reimbursement to the City and the CRA for costs
to prepare the contract and monitor the project over the course of the development are
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 143 / 230
included in the eligible expenses. . The total of eligible expenses for this project exceeds
$1,950,000.
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 $530,004 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 underutilized for several years as well as encouraging new roof top
development that will add to the ambiance of Railside.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 144 / 230
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 new residential units 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. The addition of rooftop space will further enhance the Railside experience.
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 $530,004 in public funds from tax increment
financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority will be
required to complete the project. The Authority has also been asked to provide a life
safety grant of $75,000 the amount approved was reduced to $50,000 due to budget
constraints. This investment by the Authority will leverage $1,599,534 in private sector
financing; a private investment of $2.74 for every TIF or grant dollar invested.
Use of Funds Source of Funds.
Description TIF Funds Other Grants Private Funds Total
Site Acquisition $165,000 _ $165,000
Legal and Plan* $5,600 $5,600
Engineering/Arch $85,246 $85,246
Other* $87,517 $87,517
Renovation $274,158 $1,430,771 $1,704,929
Life Safety $50,000 $50,000
Façade $0
Contingency $85,246 $85,246
TOTALS $530,004 $50,000 $1,603,534 $2,183,538
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 145 / 230
*Other includes soft costs for private legals services, consulting on the TIF and
construction, environmental review accounting, interest, financing fees, appraisal, title
and hazard insurance and marketing.
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2019,
valuation of approximately $100,943. Based on the 2017 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $2,274. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $1,568,647 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $35,344 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: $ 100,943
Estimated value after completion $ 1,669,590
Increment value $ 1,568,647
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 35,334
TIF bond issue $ 530,004
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $100,943
The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $1,669,590. 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.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 146 / 230
(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:
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. Each 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 two school age children generated
by this development thought that is mitigated by the fact that these are 1 bedroom units..
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 April of 2019
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 $530.004 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 $1,950,000 on TIF eligible activities in excess of other grants given.

This Note is issued by the Authority under the authority of and in full compliance with the
Constitution and statutes of the State of Nebraska, including particularly Article VIII, Section 12 of the
Nebraska Constitution, Sections 18-2101 to 18-2153, inclusive, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, as
amended, and under and pursuant to Resolution No. ________ duly passed and adopted by the Authority on
______________, 2021, as from time to time amended and supplemented (the “Resolution”).
THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS NOTE IS SET FORTH IN SCHEDULE 1

This Note has been issued by the Authority for the purpose of financing the costs of constructing,
reconstructing, improving, extending, rehabilitating, installing, equipping, furnishing and completing certain
improvements within the area identified and referred to as the City of Grand Island Redevelopment Plan
Amendment for Redevelopment Area #26 November 2018, (Orchard, LLC Project) which is more
specifically described in the Resolution, and to carry out the Authority’s corporate purposes and powers in
connection therewith.
Reference is hereby made to the Resolution for the provisions, among others, with respect to the
collection and disposition of certain tax and other revenues, the special funds charged with and pledged to
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

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.

enforcement of the pledge; the conditions upon which the Resolution may be amended or supplemented
with or without the consent of the Owner of this Note; the rights, duties and obligations of the Authority and
the Registrar thereunder; the terms and provisions upon which the liens, pledges, charges, trusts and

Note thereafter no longer be secured by the Resolution or be deemed to be outstanding thereunder, if money
or certain specified securities shall have been deposited with the Registrar sufficient and held in trust solely
for the payment hereof; and for the other terms and provisions thereof.
This Note is subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the Authority, in whole or in
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.

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”)
Legal Descriptions: Property being platted as The Orchard Subdivision in the City of
Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 191 / 230
Existing Land Use and Subject Property
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 192 / 230
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 - 5/12/2021 Page 193 / 230
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 - 5/12/2021 Page 194 / 230
City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/12/2021 Page 195 / 230
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 lines will
need to be extended throughout the property.
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 - 5/12/2021 Page 196 / 230
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 - 5/12/2021 Page 197 / 230
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 - 5/12/2021 Page 198 / 230
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 - 5/12/2021 Page 199 / 230
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 - 5/12/2021 Page 200 / 230
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.
