AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas P. Martin, Deputy City Administrator
FOR: October 15, 2007, Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Redevelopment of the former City Hall Site, 1111 N. Green Street
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the attached ordinance authorizing the execution of a
Development Agreement with Cunat, Inc. (Historic McHenry, LLC) for the redevelopment of the former City
Hall site at 1111 N. Green Street.
Conceptual Redevelopment Project Summary.
The proposed project is a five-story mixed-use building, with an approximately 6,900 square foot restaurant and a
3,600 square foot associated private club/party room (10,500 square feet) on the first floor and at least 24 residential
dwelling units (64,250 square feet) on the remaining four floors (site plan and elevation are attached to this
supplement). Included as part of the project is a three-story (48,600 square feet) parking structure which will yield
approximately 132 parking spaces. Roughly two-thirds of those spaces will be allocated for use by the general
public.
Summary of Proposed Financial Incentives
The proposed incentives for the project totaling $2,000,000 include: partial funding for excavation and stormwater
improvements, waiver of a portion of the permit and capital development fees, partial funding to be used towards the
cost of constructing a public parking deck, funds to be allocated towards the construction of a temporary public
pier(s), and partial funding to be used for the demolition expense (list of dollar amount of incentives is detailed
below, as well as when each incentive will be realized by the developer).
City Permit/Capital Development Fees * $250,000
Excavation/Stormwater Improvements ** $300,000
Temporary Public Pier(s) ** $250,000
Contribution to Public Parking Deck ** $1,050,000
Demolition ** $150,000
$2,000,000
* Incentive realized upon issuance of a building permit
** Incentive realized on a reimbursement basis (after TIF increment is generated to reimburse the developer)
All the incentive payments will be phased over a seven-year period. Attached to this supplement is a financial
summary of the development, which includes estimated yearly TIF fund increments for the entire life of the TIF
district and a dollar amount reimbursement schedule for this project.
Downtown Redevelopment Business Plan
The full increment for this project, $361,942, will be realized by 2010 and the project has an estimated market value
of approximately $15,940,000. In addition, all public participation costs are estimated to be paid by 2014 in
accordance with the increment schedule on the attaché financial analysis. The total tax increment generation for this
project assuming a 2% yearly increase is estimated to be $5,192,842.21.
The Business Plan previously approved by the City Council assumes a second redevelopment project occuring in
2008; however, the Business Plan only includes $1,000,000 in incentives for this project.
Redevelopment Agreement
The attached agreement is between the City and Cunat, Inc. (Historic McHenry LLC) for the redevelopment of the
project at 1111 N. Green Street.
The following provisions are contained in the redevelopment agreement:
Agreement includes all of the incentives referred to previously: waiver of a portion of the building permit
and capital development fees, partial payment for excavation and stormwater improvements, partial
funding for the construction of a temporary pier(s) in Boone Lagoon, contribution to a public parking deck,
and partial reimbursement for demolition costs on the Subject Property.
Agreement requires building plans to be stamped by a licensed architect or structural engineer;
Agreement requires conveyance of property for Riverwalk construction along Boone Lagoon;
Agreement requires not less than seventy-five (75) nor more than eighty-five (85) parking spaces within the
parking structure constructed on the Subject Property for use at no charge by the general public;
Agreement requires Developer to be responsible for maintenance of the parking garage;
Agreement requires Developer to dig up the current sanitary sewer main, which runs under the building, as
well as remove the pipe;
Agreement requires Developer at their expense, to construct the required improvements associated with the
design and reconfiguration of the westbound, right turn lane from Green Street to Waukegan Road;
Agreement allows Developer to construct a temporary parallel pier(s) on Boone Lagoon adjacent to the site
in accordance with the design of piers constructed as part of the Riverwalk Place Subdivision development.
No moratorium currently exists on temporary piers; however, a permit is required from the Army Corps of
Engineers. Piers cannot be used as overnight piers;
Agreement requires a letter of credit from the Developer for all public improvements constructed as part of
the redevelopment of the site; and
Developer is required to submit an application to appear before the Planning and Zoning Commission
within 90-days of agreement execution.
Minor modifications may need to be made to the agreement following approval to prepare it for final signature.
However, they will not alter any substantive portion of the agreement.
