SECTION 1:
Executive Summary
DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT
Tax Incremental District (“TID”) No. 41 (“District”) is a proposed district in need
of rehabilitation or conservation consisting of a 2.66-acre parcel located at 1745
Oregon Street, the former Oshkosh Area School District Smith Elementary
School which was sold in 2019. The City has received an application from
Northpointe Development Corporation (“Developer”) for tax incremental
financing (“TIF”) assistance to support rehabilitation of the school structure for
use as low-income apartments (“Project”). The Project will include a total of 31
one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment units and construction of 44 garage
spaces with additional off-street parking. The Project would be financed with a
combination of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), Historic Tax Credits,
DOA Home program funds and a “pay as you go” development incentive
provided by the District.
AUTHORITY
The City is creating the District under the provisions of Wis. Stat. § 66.1105.
ESTIMATED TOTAL PROJECT COST EXPENDITURES
The City anticipates making total expenditures of approximately $1,647,000
(“Project Costs”) to undertake the projects listed in this Project Plan (“Plan”).
Project Costs include an estimated $1,482,000 in development incentives and
$164,000 for District administrative costs related to its creation and ongoing
administration. Based on the cash flow projection and assumptions made in this
Plan, the $1,482,000 development incentive has a present value of
approximately $780,000 that the Developer will monetize through WHEDA at
a 4.25% discount rate.
INCREMENTAL VALUATION
The City projects that new land and improvements value of approximately
$2.05 million will result from the Project. Creation of this additional value will
be made possible by the Project Costs made within the District. A table
detailing assumptions as to the development timing and associated values is
included in the Economic Feasibility Study located within this Plan.
EXPECTED TERMINATION OF DISTRICT
Based on the Economic Feasibility Study located within Section 9 of this Plan,
the City anticipates that the District will need to remain open for its entire 27
year life to generate sufficient tax increment to pay all Project Costs.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
As required by Wis. Stat. § 66.1105, and as documented in this Plan and the
exhibits contained and referenced herein, the following findings are made:
1. That “but for” the creation of this District, the development projected to
occur as detailed in this Plan: 1) would not occur; or 2) would not occur
in the manner, at the values, or within the timeframe desired by the City.
The City recognizes the community need for affordable housing which
typically requires TIF participation. The Developer’s application for TIF
assistance reflects an Internal Rate of Return of 3.59% for the tax credit
investor if approximately $1,482,000 in development incentives are
provided to the Project, and a negative 0.78% return without incentives.
Based on the Developer’s representations in their application for TIF
assistance, the City has concluded that the Project would not likely proceed
without a development incentive. The specific amount and terms of any
incentive provided to the Project will be subject to additional due diligence
undertaken by the City prior to approval of a development agreement.
2. The economic benefits of the District, as measured by increased
employment, business and personal income, and property value, are
sufficient to compensate for the cost of the improvements. In making this
determination, the City has considered that in addition to the incremental
value expected to be created, the Project will result in rehabilitation and
conservation of the former school building, creation of affordable housing,
and provision of employment and commercial opportunities related to the
construction and operation of the Project.
3. The benefits of the proposal outweigh the anticipated tax increments to
be paid by the owners of property in the overlying taxing jurisdictions. As
required by Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(4)(i)4., a calculation of the share of
projected tax increments estimated to be paid by the owners of property in
the overlying taxing jurisdictions has been prepared and can be found in this
Plan. However, because the Project would not occur without the use of tax
incremental financing, these tax increments would not be paid but for
creation of the District. Accordingly, the City finds that the benefits
expected to be realized as set forth in this Plan outweigh the value of the
tax increments to be invested in the Project.
4. Not less than 50% by area of the real property within the District is in need
of rehabilitation or conservation work as defined by Wis. Stat. §
66.1337(2m)(a). (See Section 4 of this Plan for basis of finding).
5. Based on the foregoing finding, the District is designated as a district in need
of rehabilitation or conservation.
Tax Incremental District No. 41 Project Plan City of Oshkosh
Prepared by Ehlers Page | 5
6. The Project Costs relate directly to the rehabilitation or conservation of
property and improvements in the District, consistent with the purpose for
which the District is created.
7. Improvements to be made in the District are likely to significantly enhance
the value of substantially all of the other real property in the District.
8. The equalized value of taxable property in the District, plus the incremental
value of all existing tax incremental districts within the City does not exceed
12% of the total equalized value of taxable property within the City.
9. The City estimates that none of the territory within the District will be
devoted to retail business at the end of the District’s maximum expenditure
period, pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(5)(b).
10. That there are no parcels to be included within the District that were
annexed by the City within the preceding three-year period.
11. The Plan for the District is feasible and is in conformity with the Master
(Comprehensive) Plan of the City.

SECTION 4:
Preliminary Parcel List and Analysis
The District will consist of a single tax parcel:
Parcel Number: 14-0360-000
Address: 1745 Oregon Street
Owner: Smith School Lofts LLC
Acres: 2.66
Current Value:
The improvements located on the parcel, the former Smith Elementary School.
are in need of rehabilitation or conservation as defined by Wis. Stat. §
66.1337(2m)(a). Specifically, the Plan includes:
1. Carrying out plans for a program of voluntary repair and rehabilitation of
buildings or other improvements.
2. Rehabilitation of buildings and improvements on the property where
necessary to eliminate unhealthful, unsanitary, or unsafe conditions, eliminate
obsolete or other uses detrimental to the public welfare, to otherwise remove
or prevent the spread of blight or deterioration.
The original school was designed by noted Oshkosh architect William Waters
in 1896 as a four-classroom building with a central stair. In 1929, the firm of
Auler, Jensen and Brown designed an addition to the west adding an additional
6 classrooms and recreational space. In 1996 the Oshkosh Area School District
(“OASD”) added a gymnasium with two additional classrooms and central
offices to the building. In June of 2019, the Oshkosh Board of Education voted
to close Smith School after 124 years of educational service citing $3.7 million
in needed repairs and maintenance.

Land $152,100 $187,800
Improvements $148,900 $183,800
Total $301,000 $371,600
* Assessor’s estimated 2021 equalization ratio as reported in Invista
Analytics, LLC’s “Investment Analysis Report” dated August 17,
2021.
Tax Incremental District No. 41 Project Plan City of Oshkosh
Prepared by Ehlers Page | 14
These costs are detailed in a presentation prepared by OASD dated May 22,
2019 titled “Facilities Planning: Smith Elementary” and in a related document
titled “3315_OASD Study Document_8.1.17_smith.pdf” both of which are on file
with the City. Some of the costs cited include replacement of the original
building roof, correction of water infiltration into occupied space, exterior
envelope tuck pointing, replacement of dated and failing plumbing fixtures,
mold remediation, and building wide window replacement. The costs cited by
the OASD support the conclusion that the property is in need of rehabilitation
given that adaptive reuse of the property will require that many of the same
repairs be made.
In May of this year, the Wisconsin Historic Preservation Review Board voted to
include Smith School on the state register of historic places and nominated it
for the National Register of historic places. A preliminary determination by the
National Park Service suggested that this property is likely to be listed on the
National Registry. It is anticipated that the National Park Service will make the
final National Registry determination soon.
Architectural plans developed by Wesenberg Architects show the building
being transformed into 31 total apartments including one-, two-, and three-
bedroom units. These plans have been reviewed by the Wisconsin Historical
Society’s State Historic Preservation Office and have been determined to be
consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for historic
preservation by the state. Should the National Park Service make an affirmative
final determination on the National Registry Listing, as well as approve the
proposed development plan, the project will be eligible to receive both federal
and state historic preservation tax credits.
The historic status and local significance of the property, its inclusion on the
state register of historic places and potential inclusion on the National Register
of historic places combined with the need for rehabilitation work support the
conclusion that the property is also in need of conservation.

SECTION 5:
Equalized Value Test
The following calculations demonstrate that the City expects to be in
compliance with Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(4)(gm)4.c., which requires that the
equalized value of the taxable property in the proposed District, plus the value
increment of all existing tax incremental districts, does not exceed 12% of the
total equalized value of taxable property within the City.
The equalized value of the increment of existing tax incremental districts within
the City, plus the base value of the proposed District, totals $258,780,805. This
value is less than the maximum $578,533,500 in equalized value that is
permitted for the City.

SECTION 6:
Statement Listing the Kind, Number and Location of All
Proposed Public Works or Improvements Within the
District
Project Costs are any expenditure made, estimated to be made, or monetary
obligations incurred or estimated to be incurred as outlined in this Plan. Project
Costs will be diminished by any income, special assessments or other revenues,
including user fees or charges, other than tax increments, received or
reasonably expected to be received in connection with the implementation of
the Plan. If Project Costs incurred benefit territory outside the District, a
proportionate share of the cost is not a Project Cost. Costs identified in this
Plan are preliminary estimates made prior to design considerations and are
subject to change after planning, design and construction is completed.
The costs of engineering, design, survey, inspection, materials, construction,
restoring property to its original condition, apparatus necessary for public
works, legal and other consultant fees, testing, environmental studies, permits,
updating City ordinances and plans, judgments or claims for damages and
other expenses are included as Project Costs.
The following is a list of public works and other tax incremental financing
eligible Project Costs that the City expects to make, or may need to make, in
conjunction with the implementation of the District’s Plan. The map found in
Section 7 of this Plan along with the Detailed List of Project Costs found in
Section 8 provide additional information as to the kind, number and location of
potential Project Costs.
Community Development
Cash Grants (Development Incentives)
The City may enter into agreements with property owners, lessees, or
developers of land located within the District for sharing costs to encourage
the desired kind of improvements and assure tax base is generated sufficient
to recover Project Costs. No cash grants will be provided until the City executes
a developer agreement with the recipient of the cash grant. Any payments of
cash grants made by the City are eligible Project Costs.

Utilities
Sanitary Sewer System Improvements
To allow development to occur, the City may need to construct, alter, rebuild,
or expand sanitary sewer infrastructure within the District. Eligible Project
Costs include, but are not limited to, construction, alteration, rebuilding, or
expansion of collection mains; manholes and cleanouts; service laterals; force
mains; interceptor sewers; pumping stations; lift stations; wastewater treatment
facilities; and all related appurtenances. To the extent sanitary sewer projects
undertaken within the District provide direct benefit to land outside of the
District, the City will make an allocation of costs based on such benefit. Those
costs corresponding to the benefit allocated to land within the District, and
necessitated by the implementation of the Project Plan, are eligible Project
Costs. Implementation of the Project Plan may also require that the City
construct, alter, rebuild or expand sanitary sewer infrastructure located outside
of the District. That portion of the costs of sanitary sewer system projects
undertaken outside the District which are necessitated by the implementation
of the Project Plan are eligible Project Costs.
Water System Improvements
To allow development to occur, the City may need to construct, alter, rebuild,
or expand water system infrastructure within the District. Eligible Project Costs
include, but are not limited to, construction, alteration, rebuilding, or expansion
of distribution mains; manholes and valves; hydrants; service laterals; pumping
stations; wells; water treatment facilities; storage tanks and reservoirs; and all
related appurtenances. To the extent water system projects undertaken within
the District provide direct benefit to land outside of the District, the City will
make an allocation of costs based on such benefit. Those costs corresponding
to the benefit allocated to land within the District, and necessitated by the
implementation of the Project Plan, are eligible Project Costs. Implementation
of the Project Plan may also require that the City construct, alter, rebuild, or
expand water system infrastructure located outside of the District. That
portion of the costs of water system projects undertaken outside the District
which are necessitated by the implementation of the Project Plan are eligible
Project Costs.

Prepared by Ehlers Page | 18
Stormwater Management System Improvements
Development within the District will cause stormwater runoff. To manage this
stormwater runoff, the City may need to construct, alter, rebuild, or expand
stormwater management infrastructure within the District. Eligible Project
Costs include, but are not limited to, construction, alteration, rebuilding, or
expansion of stormwater collection mains; inlets, manholes and valves; service
laterals; ditches; culvert pipes; box culverts; bridges; stabilization of stream and
riverbanks; and infiltration, filtration, and detention Best Management Practices
(BMP’s). To the extent stormwater management system projects undertaken
within the District provide direct benefit to land outside of the District, the City
will make an allocation of costs based on such benefit. Those costs
corresponding to the benefit allocated to land within the District, and
necessitated by the implementation of the Project Plan, are eligible Project
Costs. Implementation of the Project Plan may also require that the City
construct, alter, rebuild, or expand stormwater management infrastructure
located outside of the District. That portion of the costs of stormwater
management system projects undertaken outside the District which are
necessitated by the implementation of the Project Plan are eligible Project
Costs.
Electric Service
To create sites suitable for development, the City may incur costs to provide,
relocate or upgrade electric services. Relocation may require abandonment and
removal of existing poles or towers, installation of new poles or towers, or
burying of overhead electric lines. Costs incurred by the City to undertake this
work are eligible Project Costs.
Gas Service
To create sites suitable for development, the City may incur costs to provide,
relocate or upgrade gas mains and services. Costs incurred by the City to
undertake this work are eligible Project Costs.
Communications Infrastructure
To create sites suitable for development, the City may incur costs to provide,
relocate or upgrade infrastructure required for voice and data communications,
including, but not limited to telephone lines, cable lines and fiber optic cable.
Costs incurred by the City to undertake this work are eligible Project Costs.

Streets and Streetscape
Street Improvements
To allow development to occur, the City may need to construct or reconstruct
streets, highways, alleys, access drives and parking areas. Eligible Project Costs
include, but are not limited to: excavation; removal or placement of fill;
construction of road base; asphalt or concrete paving or repaving; installation
of curb and gutter; installation of sidewalks and bicycle lanes; installation of
culverts, box culverts and bridges; rail crossings and signals; utility relocation,
to include burying overhead utility lines; street lighting; installation of traffic
control signage and traffic signals; pavement marking; right-of-way restoration;
installation of retaining walls; and installation of fences, berms, and landscaping.
Streetscaping and Landscaping
To attract development consistent with the objectives of this Plan, the City may
install amenities to enhance development sites, rights-of-way, and other public
spaces. These amenities include but are not limited to landscaping; lighting of
streets, sidewalks, parking areas and public areas; installation of planters,
benches, clocks, tree rings, trash receptacles and similar items; and installation
of brick or other decorative walks, terraces and street crossings. These and any
other similar amenities installed by the City are eligible Project Costs.
Miscellaneous
Projects Outside the Tax Increment District
Pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(2)(f)1.n, the City may undertake projects within
territory located within one-half mile of the boundary of the District provided
that: 1) the project area is located within the City’s corporate boundaries; and
2) the projects are approved by the Joint Review Board. The cost of projects
completed outside the District pursuant to this section are eligible project costs
and may include any project cost that would otherwise be eligible if undertaken
within the District. The City intends to install public improvements as needed
to support the Project. These public improvements may need to be made
within the rights-of-way adjoining the District, or in other areas near the
District’s boundaries. While the cashflow projections in this Plan indicate
that no funds will be available at the end of the District’s expenditure period
to pay costs other than those identified in Section 8 of the Plan, should the
District’s performance exceed expectations the City may need to make
public infrastructure improvements to benefit the District. In that case, the
City will utilize District funds to pay for those costs to the extent funds are
available and the work benefits the Project and District.

Professional Service and Organizational Costs
The costs of professional services rendered, and other costs incurred, in relation
to the creation, administration and termination of the District, and the
undertaking of the projects contained within this Plan, are eligible Project Costs.
Professional services include but are not limited to architectural; environmental;
planning; engineering; legal; audit; financial; and the costs of informing the
public with respect to the creation of the District and the implementation of the
Plan.
Administrative Costs
The City may charge to the District as eligible Project Costs reasonable
allocations of administrative costs, including, but not limited to, employee
salaries. Costs allocated will bear a direct connection to the time spent by City
employees relating to the implementation of the Plan.

SECTION 8:
Detailed List of Estimated Project Costs
The following list identifies the Project Costs that the City currently expects to
incur in implementing the District’s Plan. All projects identified and related costs
reflect the best estimates available as of the date of preparation of this Plan. All
costs are preliminary estimates and may increase or decrease. Certain Project
Costs listed may become unnecessary, and other Project Costs not currently
identified may need to be made. (Section 6 details the general categories of
eligible Project Costs). Changes in Project Cost totals or the types of Project
Costs to be incurred will not require that this Plan be amended. This Plan is not
meant to be a budget nor an appropriation of funds for specific Project Costs,
but a framework within which to manage Project Costs. While the cashflow
projections in this Plan indicate that no funds will be available at the end of the
District’s expenditure period to pay costs other than those identified in this
Section, should the District’s performance exceed expectations the City may
need to make public infrastructure improvements to benefit the District. In that
case, the City will utilize District funds to pay for those costs to the extent funds
are available and the work benefits the Project and District.

SECTION 9:
Economic Feasibility Study, Description of the Methods
of Financing Estimated Project Costs and the Time When
Related Costs or Monetary Obligations are to be Incurred
This Section includes a forecast of the valuation increases expected within the
District, the associated tax increment collections, a summary of how Project
Costs would be financed, and a projected cash flow demonstrating that the
District is economically feasible.
Key Assumptions
The Project Costs the City plans to make are expected to create $2.05 million
in incremental value by January 1, 2023. Estimated valuations and timing for
construction of the Project are included in Table 1. Assuming a projected
equalized TID Interim tax rate of $25.44 per thousand of equalized value and
an annual 1% increase in the value of the Project due to economic appreciation
the Project would generate approximately $1.65 million in incremental tax
revenue over the 27-year term of the District as shown in Table 2. The projected
tax rate used for this Plan is intended to reflect the anticipated impacts of the
Oshkosh Area School District capital facilities referendum approved in 2020.
The current TID interim tax rate for the 2021 budget year is $24.60 per thousand
of equalized value.

Financing and Implementation
The City anticipates making total expenditures of approximately $1,647,000
including an estimated $1,482,000 in development incentives and $165,000 for
District administrative costs related to its creation and ongoing administration.
Based on the cash flow projection and assumptions made in this Plan, the
$1,647,000 development incentive has a present value of approximately
$780,000 that the Developer will monetize through WHEDA at a 4.25%
discount rate.
The potential incentive amount included in this Plan is based on Developer’s
TIF assistance request. The specific amount and terms of any incentive
provided to the Project will be subject to additional due diligence undertaken
by the City prior to approval of a development agreement.
Development incentive payments will be paid from tax increments as they are
collected on a “pay as you go” basis. Administrative expenses will be paid from
tax increments collected, or from advances from other funds to the extent
those costs exceed cash amounts available. The City will recover any amounts
advanced to the District as cash flows permit.
Based on the cash flow exhibit (Table 3), the City anticipates that the District
will need to remain open for its entire 27-year life to generate enough tax
increment to pay all Project Costs.
While the cashflow projection indicates that no funds will be available at the
end of the District’s expenditure period to pay costs other than those identified
in the projection and in Section 8 of this Plan, should the District’s performance
exceed expectations the City may need to make public infrastructure
improvements to benefit the District. In that case, the City will utilize District
funds to pay for those costs to the extent funds are available and the work
benefits the Project and District.

SECTION 10:
Annexed Property
A tax incremental district cannot include annexed territory unless at least three
years have elapsed since the annexation, or certain other requirements are met.
None of the property within the proposed District boundary was annexed
during the past three years.
SECTION 11:
Estimate of Property to Be Devoted to Retail Business
Pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(5)(b), the City estimates that none of the
territory within the District will be devoted to retail business at the end of the
District’s maximum expenditure period.
SECTION 12:
Proposed Changes of Zoning Ordinances, Master Plan,
Map, Building Codes and City Ordinances
Zoning Ordinances
The proposed Plan is in general conformance with the City’s current zoning
ordinances. Individual properties may require rezoning at the time of
development.
Master (Comprehensive) Plan and Map
The proposed Plan is in general conformance with the City’s Comprehensive
Plan identifying the area as appropriate for multi-family development.
Building Codes and Ordinances
Development within the District will be required to conform to State Building
Codes and will be subject to the City's permitting and inspection procedures.
The proposed Plan conforms to all relevant State and local ordinances, plans,
and codes. No changes to the existing regulations are proposed or needed.

SECTION 13:
Statement of the Proposed Method for the Relocation of
any Persons to be Displaced
Should implementation of this Plan require relocation of individuals or business
operations, relocations will be handled in compliance with Wis. Stat. Chapter
32 and Wis. Admin. Code ADM 92.
SECTION 14:
How Creation of the Tax Incremental District Promotes
the Orderly Development of the City
Creation of the District and the implementation of the projects in its Plan will
promote the orderly development of the City by rehabilitating and conserving
property and providing appropriate financial incentives for private
development projects. Through use of tax increment financing, the City can
attract new investment that results in increased tax base. Development will
occur in an orderly fashion in accordance with approved plans so that the
Projects will be compatible with adjacent land uses. Development of new uses
in the District will add to the tax base and will generate positive secondary
impacts in the community such as rehabilitation and conservation of a blighted
historic structure, creation of affordable market rate multi-family housing to
meet market demand, and provision of employment and commercial
opportunities related to the construction and operation of the Project
Tax Incremental District No. 41 Project Plan City of Oshkosh
Prepared by Ehlers Page | 32
SECTION 15:
List of Estimated Non-Project Costs
Non-project costs are public works projects which only partly benefit the
District. Costs incurred that do not benefit the District may not be paid with tax
increments. Examples of non-project costs are:
A public improvement made within the District that also benefits
property outside the District. That portion of the total Project Costs
allocable to properties outside of the District would be a non-project
cost.
A public improvement made outside the District that only partially
benefits property within the District. That portion of the total Project
Costs allocable to properties outside of the District would be a non-
project cost.
Projects undertaken within the District as part of the implementation of
this Project Plan, the costs of which are paid fully or in part by impact
fees, grants, special assessments, or revenues other than tax increments.
No improvements to be made within the District will benefit property outside
the District. Furthermore, there will be no improvements made outside the
District that will only partially benefit the District.
