Agenda Item #5
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION:
November 18, 2020
SUBJECT:
Redevelopment plan amendment for property located in Blight and Substandard Area 2 for a
Site Specific Redevelopment Plan for property located south of State Fair Boulevard and
east of Locust Street, 1607 S. Locust- Bosselman Corporate Offices in Grand Island, in Hall
County, Nebraska to support this development. (C-13-2021GI)
PROPOSAL:
The original redevelopment plan for this property approved on September 8, 2015 proposed the
development of a 100 room hotel to the west of the corporate office building. Changes in the
market for hotel space have caused Bosselman’s to reexamine the plan and they are now
proposing a quick serve restaurant at this location. The change from a 100 room hotel to a
quick serve restaurant is significant and requires approval of an amendment to the plan. The
property is zoned B-2 General Business in the AC Arterial Commercial Corridor the proposed
use is consistent with the current zoning and future land use of the property.
OVERVIEW:
The purpose of the CRA and the designated blight and substandard area is to provide
incentives for development in underdeveloped areas of the community. It is anticipated that
this property would continue to be used for commercial uses. This area has already been
declared blighted and substandard by the CRA, the Hall County Regional Planning
Commission and the Grand Island City Council.
This project is consistent with the existing zoning and the future land use plan for this
area within the City of Grand Island. This is evident by the fact that the property is zoned B-
2 General Business with an AC Arterial Commercial Overlay. The B-2 zone allows a variety
of commercial uses including quick serve restaurants.
The Regional Planning Commission recommendation is limited to the appropriateness of the
proposed use at this location. The Grand Island Comprehensive Plan calls commercial
development here.
The Planning Commission is required to comment on these applications to confirm that
expenditure of public funds through TIF is not supporting uses that would be inconsistent
with the comprehensive plan. The proposed use for a commercial development at this
location appears to be supported by the plan.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/5/2021 Page 13 / 60
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommends that City Council approve of the
redevelopment plan amendment as submitted. A resolution is attached for your
consideration.

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 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)]

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

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

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 - 5/5/2021 Page 21 / 60
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 - 5/5/2021 Page 22 / 60
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 - 5/5/2021 Page 25 / 60
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.

Agenda Item #5
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION:
April 26, 2021
SUBJECT:
Redevelopment plan amendment for property located in Blight and Substandard Area 6 for a
Site Specific Redevelopment Plan for property located south of 8th Street and east of Eddy
Street, 722 N. Eddy Street in Grand Island, in Hall County, Nebraska to support this
development. (C-14-2021GI)
PROPOSAL:
Ebc Obermiller LLC, the real estate holding company for Miller Tire has purchased Hal
Maggiore’s Photo Studio at 722 N. Eddy Street proposing to redevelop this commercial property
as an expansion to Miller Tire. The property is zoned B-2 General Business the proposed use
is consistent with the current zoning and future land use of the property.
OVERVIEW:
The purpose of the CRA and the designated blight and substandard area is to provide
incentives for development in underdeveloped areas of the community. It is anticipated that
this property would continue to be used for commercial uses. This area has already been
declared blighted and substandard by the CRA, the Hall County Regional Planning
Commission and the Grand Island City Council.
This project is consistent with the existing zoning and the future land use plan for this
area within the City of Grand Island. This is evident by the fact that the property is zoned B-
2 General Business. The B-2 zone allows a variety of commercial uses automobile repair.
The Regional Planning Commission recommendation is limited to the appropriateness of the
proposed use at this location. The Grand Island Comprehensive Plan calls commercial
development here.
The Planning Commission is required to comment on these applications to confirm that
expenditure of public funds through TIF is not supporting uses that would be inconsistent
with the comprehensive plan. The proposed use for a commercial development at this
location appears to be supported by the plan.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/5/2021 Page 31 / 60
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommends that City Council approve of the
redevelopment plan amendment as submitted. A resolution is attached for your
consideration.

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.

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/5/2021 Page 39 / 60
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.

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
TIF bond issue $ 318,285
(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 $

PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION:
April 26, 2021
SUBJECT:
Redevelopment plan amendment for property located in Blight and Substandard Area 6 for a
Site Specific Redevelopment Plan for property located south of 8th Street and east of Eddy
Street, 722 N. Eddy Street in Grand Island, in Hall County, Nebraska to support this
development. (C-14-2021GI)
PROPOSAL:
Ebc Obermiller LLC, the real estate holding company for Miller Tire has purchased Hal
Maggiore’s Photo Studio at 722 N. Eddy Street proposing to redevelop this commercial property
as an expansion to Miller Tire. The property is zoned B-2 General Business the proposed use
is consistent with the current zoning and future land use of the property.
OVERVIEW:
The purpose of the CRA and the designated blight and substandard area is to provide
incentives for development in underdeveloped areas of the community. It is anticipated that
this property would continue to be used for commercial uses. This area has already been
declared blighted and substandard by the CRA, the Hall County Regional Planning
Commission and the Grand Island City Council.
This project is consistent with the existing zoning and the future land use plan for this
area within the City of Grand Island. This is evident by the fact that the property is zoned B-
2 General Business. The B-2 zone allows a variety of commercial uses automobile repair.
The Regional Planning Commission recommendation is limited to the appropriateness of the
proposed use at this location. The Grand Island Comprehensive Plan calls commercial
development here.
The Planning Commission is required to comment on these applications to confirm that
expenditure of public funds through TIF is not supporting uses that would be inconsistent
with the comprehensive plan. The proposed use for a commercial development at this
location appears to be supported by the plan.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/5/2021 Page 45 / 60
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommends that City Council approve of the
redevelopment plan amendment as submitted. A resolution is attached for your
consideration.
