Fiscal Note
This resolution would authorize a $4,900,000 loan to Union Corners, LLC ("Developer") for the construction of the first phase of a project located in the vicinity of the intersection of East Washington Avenue, Winnebago and Milwaukee Streets. The redevelopment consists of a 131-unit condominium project, 70,000 square foot commercial space and 166 underground parking stalls ("Project"). This loan would be repaid through incremental taxes generated by the Project and represents approximately 53% of the present value of all incremental taxes anticipated from the Project throughout the remaining 26-year life of the TID. This funding level is slightly above the 50% policy established by Common Council and would require a Council exception to TIF Policy.
The 2007 Capital Budget provides authorization to capitalize this loan, funded with general obligation debt. While it is anticipated that the incremental taxes generated by the Project will be sufficient to repay the loan within approximately 10 years, the Developer is required to guarantee a minimum payment if sufficient future tax increment is not available. The Developer is also obligated to return an equity participation payment equal to a 50% share of any surplus proceeds as defined by the equity participation formula in the TIF Policy that is in effect as of June 30, 2008. in the development agreement. The increment guarantee and equity participation payment are secured by a subordinated mortgage on the property.
