Background/ Discussion The City Council approved an update to the TIF policy on February 18, 2014. Springsted has reviewed 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 meeting staff inemo.

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.

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.

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, Background 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 Public Sector Advisors City of Elk River, Minnesota Preliminary Financial Analysis of Blackhawk Woods TIF Application 10/03/2013 Page 2 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; Project Costs Estimated Amount Original Request for Site Improvements $1,481,404 Developer's total estimated revenues (based on 25 -year TIF collection) $996,871 Estimated Reduction of Request $484,533 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 10/03/2013 Page 3 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 0 75- 741 -0182 (EMV of $14,600) 0 75- 753 -0010 (EMV of $296,500) ■ anticipated to be reclassified as 4d rental following development • Estimated incremental market value upon completion o $7,869,290 estimated market value o 84 total townhome units ® 35 2- bedroom units • $105,000 per unit (preliminary assessor's estimate) ® 49 1- bedroom units • $84,000 per unit (preliminary assessor's estimate) • Increment based on new building value only • Construction commences in 2014 and is completed in spring 2015 0 70% assessed in January of 2015 for taxes payable in 2016 0 100% assessed in January of 2016 for taxes payable in 2017 • 0% Annual market value inflator • Present value (discount) rate of 4% • Tax rates, class rates and future market values remain constant • 90% increment pledged to developer • Maximum term of housing district (26 total years) City of Elk River, Minnesota Preliminary Financial Analysis of Blackhawk Woods TIF Application 10/03/2013 Page 4 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.

City of Elk River, Minnesota Preliminary Financial Analysis of Blackhawk Woods TIF Application 10/03/2013 Page 5 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, taca� ;dos met ) Ttat Land Acquisition $1,200,000 Construction Costs 6,479,000 Soft costs 275,000 Finance Costs 390,000 Marketing 285,000 Development Fee /Overhead 593,240 Contingency (4 %) 368,000 Reserves 209,760 Working Capital 274,657 Total Project Costs $10,074,657 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 City of Elk River, Minnesota Preliminary Financial Analysis of Blackhawk Woods TIF Application 10/03/2013 Page 6 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, Developer Proforma But -For Analysis 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 project as proposed based on current financial indicators, Based on the developer's stated position relative to the Private Equity $558,575 Equity (Tax Credit Proceeds) 2,375,000 Permanent Financing 6,866,425 Developer Working Capital 274,657 Total Sources of Funds $10,074,657 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 %.

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. City of Elk River, Minnesota Preliminary Financial Analysis of Blackhawk Woods TIF Application 10/03/2013 Page 8 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 City of Elk River, Minnesota Preliminary Financial Analysis of Blackhawk Woods TIF Application 10/03/2013 Page 9 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.
