Authorize by motion, recommending to the City Council setting a Public Hearing for Monday, April 21,
2014, for proposed Tax Increment Financing (Housing) District No. 24 (Black Hawk Woods Housing
Project).
Background/ Discussion

and re- scored the Blackhawk Senior living project utilizing the newly updated housing TIF scoring
worksheet. The project scored on the low end of the inoderate scale with a rating of 22; however, this is
enough points to bring the project forward for consideration. As part of the TIF process, a Public
Hearing held by the City Council is required. The County and School are also required to be notified.
A description of the Black Hawk project is outlined in the attached October 7, 2013, regular HRA

SUBJECT: Tax Increment Financing Application Review Worksheet: Blackhawk Woods Housing Project
The City of Elk River has asked Springsted to evaluate the tax increment financing (TIF) request submitted by Senior
30 Elk River Limited Partnership (the developer) for the proposed development of a senior housing rental project
consisting of approximately 84 one -level townhome units. The City's Tax Increment Financing Policy also requires
that the Tax Increment Financing Application Review Worksheet be completed to evaluate the project and ensure it
meets the criteria of the City's policy,
The application for Tax Increment Financing proposes the development of a senior living townhome community, The
Developer is proposing to construct an 84 -unit townhome development, containing 49 one - bedroom units, 35 two -
bedroom units, and a clubhouse activity center, Additionally, each unit will include an attached garage. The
development is proposed for persons of low and moderate income; which will result in income limitations for potential
residents and reduced rental rates. The Developer will be undertaking both the construction and operation of the
proposed development.
Attached to this memo are the results of Springsted's review based on information provided by the Developer and the
City's updated Tax Increment Financing Policy and Application that includes a Review Worksheet specifically
focusing on proposed housing projects. Our review of the project and completion of the housing review worksheet
would rank this project as moderate based on a high, moderate, low and not eligible scale. With this information, we
believe the City Council could proceed with calling for a public hearing and consideration for approval of a TIF District
as the proposed project meets the 'moderate' criteria of the City's Tax Increment Financing Application Review
Worksheet and Policy.

Action Requested
Review Black Hawk Woods Housing TIF project and approve a resolution to make recommendation to
the City Council to set a Public Hearing for Monday, December 2, 2013.
Background/ Discussion
Senior 30 Elk River Limited Partnership and Roger Derrick proposes Blackhawk Woods, an 84 unit one -
level rental project serving residents aged 55 and above with low and moderate incomes pursuant to
Section 42 of the IRA Tax code. There are 49 one bedroom and 35 two bedroom apartments and a
Clubhouse Activity Center. Each housing unit includes an attached garage. There is no medical staff or
assisted living personnel on site, although individual assistance can be contracted through Guardian
Angels or others. The project will serve seniors with incomes from $20,000 to $40,000. (the maximum 2
person income allowed by HUD). It will offer townhome rents based on 30% of income. Monthly rents
for the one bedroom unit will range from $500 -775. Two bedroom units will rent from $795 -$975 a
month.
Blackhawk Woods is located at 183" j NW at Yankton, Elk River, MN, Lots 1 -41, BL 1, West Oaks Third
Addition and Outlot A, West Oaks Fourth Addition. (A map is attached)
Current real estate taxes on the property is $6,000. After the project is completed, the proposed real estate
taxes is anticipated to be $94,500. The applicant is planning the construction to begin in late spring or
early summer of 2014 with expected completion of the project by fall of 2014.
The applicant requests pay as you go TIF, over 25 years. The city would retain 10% as an administrative
fee. Because there will be no children living in the development, the developer does not believe there will
be a negative impact on schools or parks. Springsted has reviewed the project and it scored moderately on
the high, moderate, low and not eligible scale. Therefore, the project is eligible for further review and
consideration. It should be noted that some of the questions within the application focus more on
commercial /industrial projects, making them not applicable for this project. As a result, staff supports
this project.
Springsted, the City's Financial Consultant, will be providing a presentation of the project and the TIF
process, and will be available for questions. As part of the TIF requirements for housing TIF's, the HRA
reviews the project and then recommends to the City Council to set a Public Hearing. During the TIF
process, the School and County are also notified of the project.
The project has not yet received land use approval, though it is generally consistent with the zoning
district.

SUBJECT: But -For Analysis for proposed Blackhawk Woods Senior Living Development
The City of Elk River has asked Springsted to evaluate the tax increment financing (TIF) request submitted by Senior
30 Elk River Limited Partnership (the developer) for the proposed development of a senior housing rental project
consisting of approximately 84 one -level townhome units, We have reviewed the project assumptions and general
rationale for TIF assistance submitted by the developer. It is our understanding that the developer is in the process
of assembling financing for the project, including tax credits and permanent financing from HUD and is currently
working on finalizing those commitments necessary to proceed with the project, It has been indicated that project
funding would be at least partially contingent on City tax increment financing assistance and that a TIF Note is
necessary to provide sufficient cash flow to meet the annual debt service coverage requirements in the operating
proforma.
Based on this information, the City could be justified in making a "but for" finding that the anticipated development
would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable
future. We recommend, however, that the City also consider an appropriate level of TIF assistance for
reimbursement of certain eligible project costs based on the developer's information. The purpose of this memo is to
outline our analysis of the project including review of the developer's request for assistance, tax increment revenue
projections, review of the developer's project proforma and projected rates of return as provided by the developer,

development is proposed for persons of low and moderate income; which will result in income limitations for potential
residents and reduced rental rates. The Developer will be undertaking both the construction and operation of the
proposed development,
The Developer will be seeking to utilize federal low- income housing tax credits through the Section 42 4% program.
These tax credits will provide an equity source for funding of the project. The use of the Section 42 program will
result in building cost constraints; tenant income limitations and rent ceilings that are imposed and monitored by the
Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), The Developer indicated the receipt of TIF
assistance from the City is necessary to meet scoring requirements set by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency
(MHFA). The permanent financing for the project is anticipated to be obtained through a HUD FHA low interest loan
program,
The Developer will be undertaking the construction and operation of the proposed senior housing facility, for which
they have sought TIF assistance from the City. The purpose of this analysis is two -fold, first to determine if the
project is unlikely to proceed "but -for" the assistance, and second to determine if the requested assistance would
create a rate of return in excess of typical market expectations,
Developer Request for Tax Increment Financing Assistance
The developer, Senior 30 Elk River Limited Partnership, submitted a request for TIF assistance with the purpose of
TIF to finance extraordinary costs associated with constructing affordable senior housing within the City. The
developer has requested tax increment assistance for financing a portion of the site improvement costs associated
with construction of the project and the initial amount in the application was $1,481,404 for the full 25 -year term of the
district. After preliminary analysis and review, the developer revised the TIF amount to $996,871 based on revenue
estimates for the full 25 year collection, The updated total estimated sources and uses of funds are $10,074,657.
Based on the developer's application and total estimated project costs, the City could consider tax increment
assistance for financing of the site improvement costs (not including acquisition) associated with the project up to the
requested amount for the senior housing project;

There are generally two ways in which assistance can be provided for most projects, either upfront or on a pay -as-
you-go basis. With upfront financing, the City would finance a portion of the developer's initial project costs through
City of Elk River, Minnesota
Preliminary Financial Analysis of Blackhawk Woods TIF Application

the issuance of bonds or as an internal loan. Future tax increment would be collected by the City and used to pay
debt service on the bonds or repayment of the internal loan. With pay -as- you -go financing, the developer would
finance all project costs upfront and would be reimbursed over time for a portion of those costs as revenues are
available.
Pay -as- you -go- financing is generally more acceptable than upfront financing for the City because it shifts the risk for
repayment to the developer. If tax increment revenues are less than originally projected, the developer receives less
and therefore bears the risk of not being reimbursed the full amount of their financing. With bonds, the City would still
need to make debt service payments and would have to use other sources to fill any shortfall of tax increment
revenues. With internal financing, the City risks not repaying itself in full if tax increment revenues are not sufficient.
Typically in either case of upfront financing, there is a shortfall payment guarantee with the developer. The developer
has requested financial assistance as pay -as- you -go through a developer note.
Tax Increment Analysis
In order to estimate the amount of TIF revenues generated by the proposed development, certain assumptions were
made based on the value of the project, construction schedule, and anticipated financing terms.
• Estimated base value (2 parcels) as of Jan. 1, 2013

Tax Increment Revenue Estimates
The tax increment revenue estimates are based on collection of revenues for the full term of the district. Based on
the assumptions outlined above, the projected tax increment revenues to be generated from the project are shown in
the chart on the following page.
The Developer has requested TIF financing on a pay -as- you -go basis, to help offset the reduced rent limitations
required by the Section 42 program. The Developer has requested the assistance over the full term of the District
(up to 25 years) based on the initial revenue projections. The revenue projections as prepared by Springsted and
illustrated in the table above are slightly different and show an increased present value, or principal amount, of
$1,079,005 as opposed to the original estimated amount of $996,871 with a term of approximately 23 years instead
of 25 years. Further discussion regarding the actual term and amount is recommended.
Project Qualification
Initial discussions with the developer indicate that the project as proposed will qualify as a housing TIF District. A
housing TIF District is a type of tax increment district which consists of a project that is intended for occupancy by
persons or families of low and moderate income. Revenue derived from tax increment from a housing district must
be used solely to finance the cost of a housing project as defined. The cost of public improvements directly related to
the housing projects and the allocated administrative expenses of the City may be included in the cost of a housing
project.

In order for the proposed project to qualify as a tax increment financing housing district, the property must satisfy the
income requirements for a qualified residential rental project as defined in section 142(4) of the Internal Revenue
Code, The requirements of this subdivision apply for the duration of the tax increment financing district. The income
requirements are as follows;
➢ at least 20% of units are occupied by individuals whose income is 50% or less of area median income, or
➢ at least 40% of units are occupied by individuals whose income is 60% or less of area median income.
In addition, not more than 20 percent of the square footage of the buildings that receive assistance from tax
increments may consist of commercial, retail, or other nonresidential uses,
Project Costs
The Developer's submittal includes a preliminary total project budget of $10,074,657 as illustrated in the table below,

The Developer has indicated they currently own one of the two parcels on which the development is proposed, and
has indicated the second parcel is currently under contract, assuming the project is able to proceed. A portion of the
land acquisition cost estimate will be used to repay delinquent real estate taxes on the parcel the Developer has
under contract at the time of closing. The two parcels combine for an approximate area of 8.52 acres. The per acre
purchase price equates to approximately $140,845 including the repayment of delinquent taxes, and approximately
$120,305 net of the tax payment. It should be noted that one of the parcels on which a majority of the rental units will
be located is already improved with site grading, utilities, and roadways installed.
The Developer has estimated the total for the remaining hard costs and vertical improvements to be $6,479,000,
which equates to a per -unit construction cost of approximately $77,131. The Developer has indicated the
construction cost budget is based on meeting Davis -Bacon wage requirements pursuant to compliance requirements
of the tax credit program. Blended within this construction cost line -item are costs associated with the development

of the clubhouse activity building as well as remaining site improvements, The construction cost line -item appears
reasonable.
The Development Fee /Overhead cost equates to approximately 6% of the total development cost. The Soft Cost
category is for expenses related to the professional service costs incurred in the planning and development of the
site. The Financing Cost line -item is for expenses related to the Tax Credit process as well as costs associated with
the permanent financing, and construction loan interest cost. The Contingency line -item is based on approximately
4% of project costs, and the Reserves line -item represents 6 months of debt - service.
Sources of Funds
The Developer's submittal includes a preliminary total project budget of $10,074,657 as illustrated in the table below,
The Developer has indicated they are expecting to receive long term financing through HUD in an amount of
$5,869,554 and the loan is anticipated to have a 40 -year term with an effective interest rate of 4.70 %. Additionally,
the Developer has indicated they will be able to seek a second mortgage based on the TIF revenue stream, which
will provide $996,871 of funding. The term of the second year is 25 -years to coincide with the District, and the
effective interest rate is 4,70 %.
In addition to the traditional mortgage financing the Developer has projected they will receive additional equity from
the sale of the Tax Credits of $2,375,000. The Tax Credits allows the Developer to reduce both their private
borrowing amount and their private equity investment in the project. Their total private equity investment in the
Development, not including Tax Credit Proceeds, is $558,575. The return on this private equity investment is
measured in the return analysis section,

In approving a TIF district and project, the City must make several findings, including the "but for" test; that the
proposed development would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future. The developer has provided a "but -for" argument stating that the developer's lender
has indicated that financial assistance from the City is necessary to provide sufficient project cash flow and market
returns to investors that will achieve project feasibility. The developer states the assistance is necessary to construct

The Developer has indicated they are expecting to receive long term financing through HUD in an amount of
$5,869,554 and the loan is anticipated to have a 40 -year term with an effective interest rate of 4.70 %. Additionally,
the Developer has indicated they will be able to seek a second mortgage based on the TIF revenue stream, which
will provide $996,871 of funding. The term of the second year is 25 -years to coincide with the District, and the
effective interest rate is 4,70 %.

need for tax increment financing assistance, the City could make its "but for" finding and provide tax increment
assistance.
We recommend, however, that the City also consider an appropriate level of TIF assistance for the project based on
the information submitted by the developer. The City's position relative to the use of tax increment has typically been
to finance extraordinary costs. The level of assistance is in part dictated by the 'extraordinary' costs of the project.
Initial discussions about the project indicate the assistance would be provided as reimbursement to assist the
developer with extraordinary costs associated with construction affordable housing on the project site.
Following thorough evaluation of the project, the City will be prepared to make an informed "but -for" decision based
on the likelihood of the project needing assistance, as well as the appropriate level of assistance. The "but -for" test is
used to determine whether a project is likely to proceed as proposed without the use of public dollars. To complete
this analysis we constructed and examined two ten -year project proformas, one showing a result if the developer
receives the requested TIF assistance and one showing a result without assistance. Our analysis of the proforma
included a review of the development budget, projected operating revenues and expenditures, and the project's
capacity to support annual debt service on the first mortgage and notes.
Springsted performed an analysis using the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) mechanism to estimate the proposed
project's rate of return. The internal rate of return measures the average annual yield on an investment, generally
over a longer period of time, which in this case is 10 years. The internal rate of return measurement is typically what
is used by public agencies to determine the need for a subsidy.
Generally, should the rates of return lie below a reasonable range without assistance; we could assume the project
as proposed would not move forward without assistance. Should the returns lie within a reasonable range with the
assistance, we could assume the amount of assistance tested is appropriate for the project. All such estimates
should be viewed as general indicators of performance and not exact forecasts. The number of current and future
variables affecting these estimates and actual results are great.
In order to understand the potential return realized by the Developer, with and without the tax increment assistance,
we utilized the project cost and operating information provided by the Developer to generate a 10 -year operating pro
forma to calculate an estimated IRR analysis. The purpose of evaluating the operating pro forma is to understand
the potential return to the Developer through the initial development of the project and the operation of the enterprise
over a period of time. A 10 -year period may not be indicative of the Developer's intended investment period.
The first step in analyzing the return to the Developer is to determine if the costs presented are reasonable. We
provided a breakdown of the estimated project costs within a previous section of the memo. Assuming all other
assumptions and variables remain constant, a reduction in total project costs may have a positive impact on the
projected returns. The majority of the project costs outlined above are estimates, and subject to future change,
however appear to be reasonable within the scope of the project.

The second step in calculating the return to the Developer is to determine if the operating revenues and expenses
are reasonable.
The Developer proposes average rental rates of $632 per month for the one - bedroom units and $895 per
month for the two bedroom units, The rental rates will be limited based on the requirements of the Tax Credit
program and tax increment statutes, assuming tax increment financing is provided to the project
® The Developer is assuming operating expenses related to administration, utilities /trash, operations &
maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance, and replacement reserves,
The third step in performing an internal rate of return analysis is to assume a hypothetical sale of the asset at the end
of the pro forma review period, which in this case is 10 years. The use of a hypothetical sale in this analysis is only
for purposes of calculating the potential return to the Developer, and is by no means indicative of the likelihood of a
sale in Year 10. In order to accurately perform the return analysis all assets have to be converted to a cash position
at the end of the pro forma, in order to calculate the return on the initial equity investment, The Developer has
indicated they intend to own and lease the building for an extended term greater than the 10 years we analyzed in
calculating the return, For the purpose of accounting for the value of the asset in year 10 of the operating pro forma,
we used a capitalization rate of 6,5% to determine the development value,
The table below shows the result of our pro forma analysis based on the project costs and operating information
provided by the Developer,
There is no set IRR benchmark that dictates whether a project needs TIF assistance or not, There are general
market indicators that determine a project should be "doable" with a 10 -year average return of 10 -20 %. However this
is only an indicator and may or may not apply for each individual project, especially in today's market, and there may
be other factors impacting the developer's ability to proceed. The developer has stated that the project will not occur
without TIF assistance, Therefore, the City should view the IRR calculations as one factor in arriving at a decision for
this particular project,
An additional measure of project feasibility is the Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR), which is a calculation detailing the
ratio by which operating income exceeds the debt - service payments for the project. If the DCR is greater than 1,0 it
indicates the project has operating income that is greater than the debt - service payment by some margin; conversely
if the DCR is less than 1.0 it indicates the project is incapable of meeting its debt - service payment and would need to
seek additional revenue sources in order to pay its debt. Typical lending standards will require a DCR of greater than

1.0 as a measure of cushion in the vent actual revenues and expenses are different than projected, In this case the
Developer indicated a need to meet or exceed a DCR of 1,15, Our pro forma calculation, which included slightly
revised TIF projections from the Developer, resulted in a stabilized DCR of 1.19 with assistance and 0.98 without
assistance.
In order to understand the sensitivity of the DCR to changes in project assumptions we analyze the amount by which
project costs and operating income would have to change in order for the project to have a feasible DCR. In regards
to project costs, the development would need to realize either a project costs savings of approximately 10% or
conversely the Developer would need to increase their equity investment into the project by approximately 10% of the
total development cost. In regards to net operating income, the project would need to realize an increase in operating
revenue of 17% to be feasible without assistance. Based on this analysis, it could be stated the Developer would be
unlikely to undertake this project, as proposed, "but -for" the provision of the Tax Increment assistance as requested,
The return analysis outline above is based on the Developer's request for a 25 -year TIF reimbursement term, as this
would represent the maximum potential return to the Developer as a result of TIF assistance. The Developer did
perform a calculation on the impact of the receipt of TIF over a shorter 15 -year period. If the TIF were to be received
over a shorter period, the Developer indicated the revenue would be capable of supporting a reduced TIF mortgage
amount of $730,734, while maintaining a desirable DCR. However, a reduced TIF term would decrease the potential
borrowing capacity of the revenue stream and result in a decrease of $266,137 from available financing. As a result
of the shorter term, the Developer would be required to increase their equity investment in the project by the
$266,137 amount and /or defer payment on their Developer Fee.
Conclusion
Should the developer receive TIF assistance, it would be required to reserve at least 20% of the units for persons of
low and moderate income for the term of the TIF assistance. When the TIF assistance has been completely repaid,
the developer will be under no obligation to continue reserving affordable housing units, As a result, the projected
time frame for the repayment of the TIF assistance should be considered when determining the assistance amount.
The developer has requested TIF assistance of $996,871 as necessary to attract additional equity to assist with
project feasibility due to reduced operating revenues resulting from the affordable housing units, Current revenues
projections indicate that with a 0% market value inflator, it would take approximately 23 years of the TIF District to
repay the TIF Note assuming a 4.70% interest rate. Assuming all other variables remain constant, an increase in the
market value inflator would result in increased revenues, potentially decreasing the repayment term. As indicated
previously, once the note is repaid the developer will be under no obligation to continue providing affordable housing
units.
The developer has indicated that the assistance is necessary for the project to proceed as proposed, The developer
would use the pay -as- you -go note assistance to finance the additional debt required to fund the initial projects that
cannot be supported due to the reduction in operating revenues from the affordable units. As we had indicated earlier
City of Elk River, Minnesota
Preliminary Financial Analysis of Blackhawk Woods TIF Application
10/0312013
Page 10
in this memo, based on current assumptions it would take approximately 23 years of the district to meet the request.
The need for TIF assistance can be evaluated on an annual basis, due to the reduced operating revenues resulting
from the affordable units and will remain the case as long as a portion of the units are income restricted. As a result,
the length of time the City desires to maintain the affordable housing units may become a factor in determining the
level and amount of TIF assistance.
In some cases, there may be opportunities to fill a portion of the gap by other means — thereby reducing the required
TIF subsidy and /or term. The developer could consider deferring a portion of the upfront developer fee, rental rates
might also be able to be increased if the project proves successful, however the rates are ultimately dictated by both
market and income requirements of TIF Districts, actual project costs may be less than projected, and finally, a
reduction in the TIF note interest rate (from 4.70 %) may also be considered.
As illustrated in our analysis outlined above, it appears the project is infeasible without assistance absent significant
changes to either the equity investment, project cost assumptions, or projected operating income. Given our review
of the current assumptions it appears as if changes of this magnitude are unlikely to be realized, Therefore, we feel
the proposed project is unlikely to proceed but -for the requested TIF assistance.
Additionally, if the City were to undertake the provision of TIF assistance for the project, the duration of the District
would need to be determined, The Developer has indicated a request for a TIF District term of 25- years, to allow
them to maximize the additional mortgage they could secure based on the TIF revenue, If a TIF duration of a shorter
period were to be utilized it would require the Developer satisfy a $266,137 through additional equity,
It is important to note that the project will be providing affordable senior housing in the City of Elk River. Without the
tax increment assistance, the developer has indicated he is not able to proceed with the project due to rent
restrictions required. Thank you for the opportunity to be of assistance to the City of Elk River. Please contact me at
