(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 Notes and performance Notes for
each contract entered into by Redeveloper related to Project Costs. Each such Note shall show the
Authority and the City as well as the Redeveloper as beneficiary of any such Note, as and to the
extent commercially obtainable (as determined in the discretion of the Authority). In addition, the
Redeveloper shall provide a penal Note 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, attorneys,
appointed officials, employees, 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 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

may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to the Project.

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. .

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 for $550,000. The estimated costs of rehabilitation
of this property is $1,033,000. Other construction and soft cost is $265,000 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
included in the eligible expenses. The total of eligible expenses for this project exceeds
$1,873,400.
No property will be transferred to redevelopers by the Authority. The developer will
provide and secure all necessary financing.

The developer will provide all necessary financing for the project. The Authority will
assist the project by granting the sum of $522,064 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, 2023 through December 2038.
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 Railside 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 - 2/9/2022 Page 58 / 195
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed by June 2022. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning with the 2023 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 new
residential units in downtown Grand Island and with the goals of the 2020 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 $522,064 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 Façade grant. This
investment by the Authority will leverage $1,867,800 in private sector financing; a
private investment of $ 3.57 for every TIF or grant dollar invested.

*Other includes soft costs for private legal 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, 2022,
valuation of approximately $340,367. Based on the 2020 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $7,408. It is anticipated that the assessed value will increase
by $1,599,094 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $34,804 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 2021 assessed value: $340,367
Estimated value after completion $1,939,461
Increment value $1,599,094
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $34,804
TIF bond issue $522,064
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $340,367
The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $1,599,094. 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 - 2/9/2022 Page 60 / 195
(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 majority of
the units 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 2015 to 2019
according the American Community Survey is 2.61. According to the 2010 census 19.2%
of the population of Grand Island was between the ages of 5 and 18. 2020 census number
for this population cohort are not yet available but 27.6% of the 2021 population is less
than 18 years of age this is the same percentage as the under 18 age cohort in 2010. If the
averages hold it would be expected that there would be a maximum of five school age
children generated by this development though that is mitigated by the fact that that
majority of these are small 1 bedroom units. According to the National Center for
Educational Statistics the 2019-20 enrollment for GIPS was 10,070 students and the cost
per student in 2017-18 was $12,351 of that $4,653 is generated locally. The Grand Island
Public School System was notified on November 4, 2021 that the CRA would be
considering this application at their November 10, 2021 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 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 June 2022. The base tax year
should be calculated on the value of the property as of January 1, 2022. Excess valuation
should be available for this project for 15 years beginning in 2023 with taxes due in
2024. 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 $522,064 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 $1,867,800.00 on TIF
eligible activities in excess of other grants given.

thereof or his legal representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability upon such Note, including the interest thereon, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

final payment, whether at maturity or upon earlier redemption, shall be canceled upon such payment by the

Note shall first be surrendered to the Authority. In the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed Note, there 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 matured, is

governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable fees and expenses
incurred in connection therewith.

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

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 Registrar shall
grant such request as soon as reasonably practicable. Any failure of the Registrar to record a principal
advance or a redemption on the Table of Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount shall not affect the
Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount shown on the records of the Registrar.

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

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.
The Registrar may from time to time enter the respective amounts advanced pursuant to the terms of
the Resolution under the column headed “Principal Amount Advanced” on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Table”)
and may enter the aggregate principal amount of this Note then outstanding under the column headed
“Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount” on the Table. On each date upon which a portion of the
Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount is paid to the Registered Owner pursuant to the redemption
provisions of the Resolution, the Registered Owner may enter the principal amount paid on this Note under
the column headed “Principal Amount Redeemed” on the Table and may enter the then outstanding principal
amount of this Note under the column headed “Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount” on the Table.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the records maintained by the Registrar as to the principal amount issued and
principal amounts paid on this Note shall be the official records of the Cumulative Outstanding Principal
Amount of this Note for all purposes.

the other terms and provisions thereof.

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

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.

obligations of the Authority under this Resolution, including any Resolutions, resolutions or other proceedings
supplemental hereto, and the liens, pledges, charges, trusts, assignments, covenants and agreements of the
Authority herein or therein made or provided for, shall be fully discharged and satisfied as to the Note or any
portion thereof, and the Note or any portion thereof shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding hereunder
and thereunder,
(a) when the any Note or portion thereof shall have been canceled, or shall have been
surrendered for cancellation or is subject to cancellation, or shall have been purchased from money
in any of the funds held under this Resolution, or
(b) if the Note or portion thereof is not canceled or surrendered for cancellation or
subject to cancellation or so purchased, when payment of the principal of the Note or any portion
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 79 / 195
-19-
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 as to
principal in such amount and at such times as will insure the availability of sufficient money to make
such payment.
Provided that, with respect to any total redemption of any Note, notice of redemption shall have been
duly given or provision satisfactory to the Registrar shall have been made therefor, or waiver of such 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 for
the purposes of any such payment from such money or such Escrow Obligations, such Note or portion thereof
shall no longer be secured by or entitled to the benefits of this Resolution.
Any such money so deposited with the Registrar for any Note or portion thereof as provided in this
Section 10.1 may at the direction of the Finance Director also be invested and reinvested in Escrow
Obligations, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore set forth. All income from all Escrow
Obligations in the hands of the Registrar which is not required for the payment of such Note or portion thereof
with respect to which such money shall have been so deposited, shall be paid to the Authority and deposited
in the Special Fund as and when realized and collected for use and application as is other money deposited in
that fund.
Anything in this Resolution to the contrary notwithstanding, if money or Escrow Obligations have
been deposited or set aside with the Registrar pursuant to this Section 10.1 for the payment of any Note and
such Note shall not have in fact been actually paid in full, no amendment to the provisions of this Section
10.1 shall be valid as to or binding upon the Owner thereof without the consent of such Owner.
Section 10.2. Certain Limitations After Due Date. If sufficient money or Escrow Obligations shall
have been deposited in accordance with the terms hereof with the Registrar in trust for the purpose of paying
the Notes or any portion thereof when the same becomes due, whether at maturity or upon earlier redemption,
all liability of the Authority for such payment shall forthwith cease, determine and be 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
Obligations held by the Registrar in trust for the payment and discharge of the principal of on any Note which
remain unclaimed for five years after the date on which such payment shall have become due and payable,
either because the Notes shall have reached their maturity date or because the entire principal balance of the
Notes shall have been called for redemption, if such money was held by the Registrar or such 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 be paid to the Nebraska State Treasurer and the Registrar

Redevelopment Plan Amendment Complies with the Act:
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 92 / 195
Nikodym Third Subdivision Area 1 Redevelopment Plan Page 4
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
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 and project are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as the development around
this area is largely residential and the recreational use previously on the property has
been discontinued. The Hall County Regional Planning Commission held a public
hearing at their meeting on February 2, 2022 and passed Resolution 2022-07
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:
This property is currently owned by the proposed developer. There is no proposed
acquisition by the authority.
b. Demolition and Removal of Structures:
There are no significant structures on this property that need to be demolished or
removed. The 25x60 go-cart storage building will be moved and remodeled into a 5 car
garage. Demolition of the mini-golf and go cart track and trees removed.
c. Future Land Use Plan

immediately to the north this property is planned for residential use and is occupied by
apartment buildings. The property to the south is planned and zoned for residential
development, commercial development, and recreational development, The Super Bowl
fun center was located there along with a single family home on a large lot with more

lots and a landscaping business fronting onto Stuhr road. This property is vacant and was
planned for recreational development when it was part of the Super Bowl complex
though hay has been harvested from it for several years. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
The attached map also is an accurate site plan of the area after redevelopment. [§18-
2111(5)]
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
The area is zoned RD-Residential Development Zone. Apartment development at up to
42 dwelling units per acre is permitted within this zoning district. The developers are
seeking to change the zoning to allow medium density residential with up to 14 units per
acre. An application to rezone this property has been filed and will be considered by
Council prior to approval of this plan. The property will be replatted with new streets as
part of the development connecting Cherry Street and Bismark Road through the
subdivision. 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 proposing to build on the site within the constraints allowed by both the
current and the proposed zoning districts. The R3 Medium Density residential zone
allows for 1 dwelling unit for every 3000 square feet of lot space and up to 50% of the lot
area can be covered with buildings. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Water and sanitary are available to support this development. The developer will be
responsible for extension of water and sanitary sewer necessary to serve this site.
Development and extension of this infrastructure is one of the primary challenges for this
site.
Electric utilities will be extended throughout the site to support the proposed
development.
No other city 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. The residential portions of
this property is currently vacant without any residences and the commercial portion
is owned and occupied by the developer that will be renovating the commercial
space no relocation is contemplated or necessary. [§18-2103.02]

proceeds from disposal to redevelopers.
Acquisition of the property is included as TIF eligible expense at a cost of $320,000.

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

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 blighted conditions
including vacant and underutilized building sites.

December of 2032. The developers anticipate creating all of the lots in a single phase
during the 2022 year and build out on those lots to occur within 4 to 10 years depending
on market conditions. Excess valuation should be available for this project for 15 years
on each phase of this project beginning with the 2023 tax year.
9. Justification of Project
This property was rezoned for residential use by Council in 2018 with a restriction that
other than the 1 single family home built between this project and the Super Bowl
building the property would need to come forward with a plan for development prior to
any additional structures being permitted. This plan accommodates residential
development and the extension of streets and utilities to support those residences and
provides a buffer between the more intense apartment uses to the north and the single
family uses on the south side of Bismark. The 2020 housing market study for the City of
Grand Island shows a need of an additional 1361 housing units between 2020 and the end
of 2024. These 47 to 88 units at this location would help meet that goal and spread the
housing developed around the city.
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 $5,800,000 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
$15,436,000 in private sector financing; a private investment of $2.66 for every TIF and
grant dollar investment.1 See the Attached Source and Uses of Funds Chart
1 This does not include any investment in personal property at this time.

Source of Funds
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2021,
valuation of approximately $136,655. Based on the 2021 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $2,963. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $16,963,345 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $367,830 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 TIF contract or the 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 2021 assessed value: $ 136,655
Estimated value after completion $ 17,100,000
Increment value $ 16,963,345
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 367,830
TIF bond issue (Not to exceed) $ 5,800,000
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $136,655.
The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $16,963,345. Taxes will
be shifted to support this project and the infrastructure and renovation that will result in
the additional long term valuation as well as new housing in this part of the community.
The project creates additional valuation that will support taxing entities long after the
project is paid off.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 99 / 195
Nikodym Third Subdivision Area 1 Redevelopment Plan Page 11
(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 negatively impacted by this development. The electric utility
has sufficient capacity to support the development. This development, since it is housing,
may have an impact on Grand Island Public Schools. At this point, the Grand Island
public school system has taken a neutral stance on development not advocating for or
against housing projects proposing to use TIF. This property is in the Dodge Elementary
School area. Fire and police protection are available and should not be negatively
impacted by this development though all new residences and development do have an
incremental impact on fire and police.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
This will have minimal impact on employers or employees within the redevelopment
project area. Although it will increase housing choices in southeast Grand Island and
may positively impact recruitment of employees for businesses located in this part of the
community.
(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 within the Grand Island area.
(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 2015 to 2019
according the American Community Survey is 2.61 (new ACS data is not available and
isn’t expected until March of 2022). If 47 additional houses are built they would house
123 people. According to the 2010 census 19.2% of the population of Grand Island was
over 4 years old and under 18 years old. 2020 census numbers for this population cohort
are not yet available but 27.6% of the 2021 population is less than 18 years of age this is
the same percentage as the under 18 age cohort in 2010. If the averages hold it would be
expected that there would be an additional 24 school age children generated by this
development. As proposed in this development plan the maximum number of units
created could be as many as 88 which would result in 230 people with an average of 44
school age children. If this develops as proposed with at a rate of 10 units per year up to
4.4 children would be added to the district for up to 9 years. These children will likely be
spread over the full school age population from elementary to secondary school.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 100 / 195
Nikodym Third Subdivision Area 1 Redevelopment Plan Page 12
According to the National Center for Educational Statistics2 the 2019-20 enrollment for
GIPS was 10,070 students and the cost per student in 2017-18 was $12,351 of that $4,653
is generated locally. The Grand Island Public School System was notified on January 5,
2022 that the CRA would be considering this application at their January 12, 2022
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 will provide needed housing in the Grand Island market and spread the
housing to parts of the community other than northwest Grand Island.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed during between April of 2022
and December of 2032. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the
property as of January 1, 2022 or the year that an amendment to the contract is filed to
claim additional improvements. Excess valuation should be available for this project for
15 years beginning in 2023 with taxes due in 2024 actual dates will be set based on the
approved contract. 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 any portion of the project. Based on the estimates of the expenses detailed
above for creation of the 47 residential lots and rehabilitation of the Super Bowl property
the developer will spend more than $5,800,000 on TIF eligible expenses as part of this
development.

statutory qualifications as set forth below.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 135 / 195
1. The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared blighted and substandard by

(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 March 2, 2022 and passed
Resolution 2022-XX 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(13) (b)]

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 - 2/9/2022 Page 136 / 195
City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 137 / 195

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]

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 for $70,000. The estimated costs of rehabilitation
of this property is $280,150. Other construction and soft costs are $36,464. 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
included in the eligible expenses. The total of eligible expenses for this project exceeds
$392,214.
No property will be transferred to redevelopers by the Authority. The developer will
provide and secure all necessary financing.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 138 / 195
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 $71,629 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, 2023 through December 2038.
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 Railside Business
Improvement District and the Grand Island City Council of refurbishing street level
commercial space that has been underutilized for several years.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed by August 2022. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning with the 2023 tax
year.
9. Justification of Project
This building in downtown Grand Island was built in 1920 and will be preserved with this
project. The primary use of the street level space is commercial and 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.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 139 / 195
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 $71,629 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 Façade grant. This
investment by the Authority will leverage $ etivar; a pgnicnator fincse in private 202,255
1.94$nt of emtsinve for every TIF or grant dollar invested.

Private Funds Total
Site Acquisition $70,000 $70,000
Renovation Costs $59,783 $220,367 $280,150
Contingency $14,008 $14,008
Architectural &

Financing fees/ audit $8,232 $8,232
Legal/ TIF contract $12,500 $12,500
Total $71,629 $59,783 $255,202 $386,614
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2023,
valuation of approximately $300,621. Based on the 2020 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $4,775. It is anticipated that the assessed value will increase
by $216,895 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This development
will result in an estimated tax increase of over $ 2,653 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 2021 assessed value: $83,726
Estimated value after completion $300,621
Increment value $216,895
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $4,775
TIF bond issue $71,629
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $83,726. The
proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $216,895. No tax shifts
are anticipated from the project outside of the use of TIF to support the
redevelopment. It is not anticipate that any additional tax burdens will be assumed by
public entities as a result of this project. The project creates additional valuation that
will support taxing entities long after the project is paid off.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 140 / 195
(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 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 refurbish Downtown commercial space options for business owners who
wish to relocate to the Downtown area.
(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. All of the units
to be developed are intended for commercial uses only.
(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 upgraded commercial spaces within downtown
Grand Island.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed August 2022. The base tax
year should be calculated on the value of the property as of January 1, 2022. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning in 2023 with taxes
due in 2024. 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 $71,629 the projected amount of increment based upon
the anticipated value of the project and current tax rate. Left Click Properties applied for
and received a façade improvement grant of $59,783.Based on the estimates of the
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 141 / 195
expenses of the rehabilitation the developer will spend at least $326,813 on TIF eligible
activities in excess of other grants given.

Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area 36
February 2022
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island
intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area 36 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 36.
Executive Summary:
Project Description
THE REDEVELOPMENT APPROXIMATELY 25 ACRES OF PROPERTY
LOCATED BETWEEN SOUTH OF NEBRASKA HIGHWAY 2 AND WEST OF
INDEPENDENCE AVENUE IN NORTHWEST GRAND ISLAND FOR A MIXED
USE DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING COMMERICIAL OFFICE AND RETAIL
PROPRTIES AND 142 UNITS OF HOUSING INCLUDING: SINGLE FAMILY
DETACHED AND ATTACHED, ROW HOUSES, CONDOMINIUM 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) and public amenities (trails with associated lighting, benches and similar
amenities and dog park and private park space) for the development of 142 units of
housing along with some commercial/office property. The use of Tax Increment
Financing is an integral part of the development plan and necessary to make this project
affordable. The 2020 Housing Study for the City of Grand Island identified a need of
1361 new rental and owner occupied housing units by 2024.
A & H Holdings has purchased this property and began development in early 2021.
Changes in the cost of construction, availability of materials and the approval of several
other housing projects using Tax Increment Financing have led to this application for
assistance with the project. The developer is responsible for and has provided evidence
that they can secure adequate debt financing to cover the costs associated with the
construction of units. The Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA)
intends to pledge the ad valorem taxes generated over multiple 15 year periods beginning
January 1, 2023 towards the allowable costs and associated financing for the
development of this property.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
PROPERTY WILL COME FROM THE FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY:
Property Description (the “Redevelopment Project Area”)
Legal Descriptions: Property platted as Highland North First Subdivision, Highland
North Second Subdivision and proposed for platting as further parts of the Highland
North Subdivision development (Parcel Number 400149664) in the City of Grand Island,
Hall County, Nebraska.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 154 / 195
Existing Land Use and Subject Property
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 155 / 195
The tax increment will be captured for the tax years the payments for which become
delinquent in years 2023 through 2047 inclusive. The TIF contract will be
structured so it can be amended each year for up to ten 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 and commercial uses as previously described.
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 or any amendment to 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 - 2/9/2022 Page 156 / 195
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 January 25, 2022.[§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 March 2, 2022 and passed
Resolution 2022-XX 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 36 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 - 2/9/2022 Page 157 / 195
City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 158 / 195
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
The area is zoned R3 Medium Density Residential along the southern portion, B2
General Business in the northeast corner at the intersection of Nebraska Highway 2 and
Independence Avenue and R3-SL Medium Density Small Lot and RO Residential office
on the remainder of the property. The future land use map calls for mixed use commercial
development across this entire site. New public streets and utilities 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 other ordinances.
No other planning changes contemplated. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
Current Zoning on the Site
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The R3 zoning district allows for one dwelling unit per 3000 square feet of lot space with
a 6000 square foot minimum lot size. The R3-SL zoning district allows for one dwelling
unit per 3000 square feet of lot space with a 3000 square foot minimum lot size for single
family detached units and a 2100 square foot minimum lot size for row houses. The RO
zoning district does not limit the density of housing units but does require minimum 6000
square foot lot. The B2 zone allow for a variety of commercial development on a
minimum lot size of 3000 square feet with. Residential uses are allowed in the B2 zone
at a density one unit per 1000 square feet of lot space. The development as proposed will
have a residential density of 5.66 units per acre. Appendix A of this plan includes the
developer’s vision for the development along with the approved preliminary plat for
development. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 159 / 195
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,
transformers, and conduit 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 purchase price of the property is $422,110 as an eligible expense. The estimated
costs of utilities including sewer, water and electric is $1,891,059. The cost of grading,
site prep and dirt work is $4,183,685. Streets/trail/sidewalks and drainage are estimated
at $2,026,937. Planning activities including engineering, architecture, legal fees and
government fees are estimated at $1,720,000. The total of the eligible expenses for this
project is estimated by the developer at over $14,631,000.
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 $14,590,251 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, 2023 through December 2047.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 160 / 195
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 2022 year. The build out of the
subdivision is planned in five phases between 2022 and 2030. It is anticipated that the
units in this development will be fully built out by 2032 with the tax increment on those
homes extending to 2047. Excess valuation should be available for the first homes built
with this project for 15 years beginning with the 2023 tax year.
9. Justification of Project
The 2020 housing study for the City of Grand Island projected that by 2024 we would
need an additional 1361 new housing units. There should be 902 non-age restricted units
with 518 owner occupied and with 384 rental units. There should be 459 age restricted
unit 459 with 222 as 55+ owner occupied and with 237 as 55+ rental units. Between
January 1 of 2020 and December of 2021 the city issued permits for 430 new housing
units including both restricted and unrestricted units leaving a need for 931 additional
units by 2024. 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.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 161 / 195
This lack of housing options impacts a variety of other areas within the community
including work force development, overcrowding, and maintenance of residential units.
This project will create new housing options for all citizens and potential citizens of
Grand Island and will likely result in the sale of existing homes around the city.
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 $14,590,251 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
$54,781,866 in private sector financing; a private investment of $3.75 for every TIF
dollar invested.
Use of Funds Source of funds
Description TIF Funds Private Funds Total
Site Acquisition $422,110 $422,110
Building Costs $53,511,284 $53,511,284
Sewer $481,939 $126,908 $608,847
Water $716,175 $81,380 $797,555
Electric $692,945 $692,945
Public Streets/ sidewalks $1,659,480 $1,659,480
Trails $367,457 $367,457
Site prep/ Dirt work $4,177,685 $6,000 $4,183,685
Planning (Arch. & Eng.) $1,585,000 $35,000 $1,620,000
Financing fees/ audit $0 $991,294 $991,294
Legal/ TIF contract $100,000 $100,000
Other $4,387,460 $30,000 $4,417,460
$0
Total $14,590,251 $54,781,866 $69,372,117
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2022
valuation of approximately $322,019. Based on the 2021 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $6,983. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $48,181,113 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $1,044,750 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.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 162 / 195
Estimated 2022 assessed value: $ 322,019
Estimated value after completion $ 48,503,152
Increment value $ 48,181,133
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 1,044,750
TIF bond issue $ 14,590,251
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $322,019.
The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $48,503,152 over the
course of the next ten years. The project creates additional valuation that will support
taxing entities long after the project is paid off along with providing 142 additional
housing units, a neighborhood commercial node, and trails to enhance the walkability of
the City of Grand Island and northwest Grand Island in particular and area largely
developed in the 60’s through 80’s with rural section roads and no sidewalks. The tax
shift from this project will be equal to the total of the bond principal of $14,590,251 if
fully funded and any associated interest on the bond to be assigned with contract
approval.
(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 will result in a larger number of students in the Engleman 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.
(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 estimated in a 2014 study1 that each unit of single
family housing resulted in 2.97 full time equivalent jobs so this development at 18 units
per year would represent an additional 53 FTE’s within the city for the next eight 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
1 https://www.nahb.org/news-and-economics/housing-economics/housings-economic-impact/impact-of-
home-building-and-remodeling-on-the-us-economy
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 163 / 195
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 the elementary and secondary school
levels.
The average number of persons per household in Grand Island for 2015 to 2019
according the American Community Survey is 2.61. 142 additional households would
house 371 people. According to the 2010 census 19.2% of the population of Grand Island
was over 4 years old and under 18 years old. 2020 census number for this population
cohort are not yet available but 27.6% of the 2021 population is less than 18 years of age
this is the same percentage as the under 18 age cohort in 2010. If the averages hold it
would be expected that there would be an additional 71 school age children generated by
this development. If this develops at a rate of 18 units per year for 8 years approximately
9 children could be added to the school age population every year with this development.
These 9 children will likely be spread over the full school age population from
elementary to secondary school. According to the National Center for Educational
Statistics2 the 2019-20 enrollment for GIPS was 10,070 students and the cost per student
in 2017-18 was $12,351 of that $4,653 is generated locally.
The Grand Island Public School System was notified on January 31, 2022 that the
CRA would be considering this application at their February 9, 2022 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 2020 Housing Study for the City of Grand
Island to create more than 1361 new housing units. Between January of 2020 and
December of 2021 the City of Grand Island has issue permits for 430 housing 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 Fall of 2022
and the end of 2032. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the property
as of January 1, 2022 for the first phase with each phase based on the preceding year’s
valuation of the property included in the amendment for that year. Excess valuation
should be available for this project beginning in 2023 with taxes due in 2024. 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 $14,590,251 the projected amount of increment based upon
2 https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/districtsearch/district_detail.asp?ID2=3100016
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/9/2022 Page 164 / 195
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 $14,600,000 on TIF
eligible activities.
