REVIEW OF LBRA TAX CAPTURE FOR LIVONIA MARKETPLACE AND
CONSIDERATION OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCE (TIF) REIMBURSEMENT
PAYMENT #11 (S-2019) FOR AUTHORIZED ELIGIBLE EXPENSES.
Mr. Taormina: I can provide a brief background on this. You will notice that the
next four items are in order of when they were approved by the
city. Livonia Marketplace represents the City’s first Brownfield
project approved by Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment Authority.
Previous to that, Brownfield projects were done by a different
program offered by Wayne County not involving Tax Increment
Financing. Livonia Marketplace was the first project relying on TIF
for reimbursement of eligible expenses. It was approved in 2008
or 2009. The site plan goes back to 2008 and I believe the original
Brownfield plan was approved in 2009. Looking at where we are
at today, we are considering, this evening, payment #11 to the
developer for Livonia Marketplace. What you will see in each one
of these cases is a payment number that runs in consecutive
order. This one, as well as the next three items, all will be labeled
as S-2019 which refers to the Summer tax collection and the year
of 2019. For Livonia Marketplace, the total taxable value of the
real and personal property as of December 31, 2018, which
includes the Wal-Mart, Kohl’s, and Sonic was $10,841,513, and
represents a slight reduction over last year by about $318,000.
When we look at what the incremental value is for capture, we
have to reduce the base value, which in this case is just under $5.6
million, from the current taxable value which gives us the
incremental value for capture. That is $5,242,000. We apply the
tax rate to that, excluding the Zoo Authority and DIA, and the result
is a total of $187,411. That is the amount of tax dollars that are
captured for this period. We further divide that into pieces. 20% of
that gets deposited into the LSRRF and then the balance goes to
the developer. In this case those amounts are $16, 290.60 which
would go to the remediation fund and then $171,121.29 which is
80%, goes to the developer. Any questions you may have, I would
be happy to answer them. Mike and the Treasurer’s office, put
together the spreadsheet that is the next piece of information in
your packets. That really details, not only the taxable values for
Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment Authority
November 21, 2019
Page 3
each of the entities that make up Livonia Marketplace, but it also
shows the taxes that were paid, the millage rates, what was
applied or not applied in this case, and the amounts for distribution.
We rely on that spreadsheet and those numbers to provide and to
set the resolution that the board makes, which then authorizes the
distributed amount. Also available is Karl Zarbo who has been
representing this project from day one. Not only this project, but
Livonia Market II. I will point out that this is the only project that we
have where personal property taxes are collected. All of the other
projects rely on real property taxes only.
Mr. Fried: Why is the personal property counted in this one and not in the
other ones?
Mr. Taormina: That was mostly a policy shift.
Mr. Fried: A change in the law?
Mr. Taormina: It was not a change in the law. That was a decision by this body,
based on advice that really came from the administration and we
followed through on all of our subsequent projects.
Mr. Fried: With personal property?
Mr. Taormina: With personal property, yes. It is much more difficult to calculate.
There are a lot of variables.
Mr. Slater: A lot of work for little dollars.
Ms. Scheel: There are a lot of variable with personal property.
Mr. Fried: Well, it increases your basis, that I understand.
Mr. Slater: A little bit but…there are different millage rates for personal versus
real so that is complicated. You also have a higher instance of
personal property taxes not being paid, which mean you have to
go…when it is paid in a subsequent period you have to go back
and recalculate the numbers. It is a lot of work for…it isn’t main
dollars. The main dollars are the real property tax captures. The
three projects after this one and hopefully future ones, we have
consciously decided to exclude the personal property taxes from
capture.
Mr. Fried: So, in subsequent ones, you are not including personal property?
Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment Authority
November 21, 2019
Page 4
Mr. Slater: Correct.
Mr. Taormina: This project, however, Mr. Fried, we will continue because of the
reimbursement agreement does specify personal property as part
of the collection. The City and the LBRA are obligated to collect
personal property taxes through the duration of this project.
On a motion by Scheel, seconded by Harb, and adopted, it was:
#11-2019 RESOLVED, that the City of Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment
Authority does hereby approve the distribution of Captured Taxes
from the Livonia Marketplace Project as follows:
1. Payment #11 (S-2019) to the “Owner” of the Livonia Marketplace,
Livonia Phoenix, LLC, in the amount of $171,121.29 for the
reimbursement of eligible expenses related to the redevelopment
of the Former Livonia Mall Site; and
2. A deposit of $16,290.60 into the Livonia Brownfield
Redevelopment Authority’s Local Site Remediation Revolving
Fund (LSRRF).
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Breen, Lomako, Lendrum, Harb, Vandette, Scheel,
Engebretson
NAYES: None
ABSENT: McIntyre
ABSTAIN: None
Mr. Engebretson, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing
resolution adopted.
REVIEW OF LBRA TAX CAPTURE FOR LIVONIA COMMONS AND
CONSIDERATION OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCE (TIF) REIMBURSEMENT
PAYMENT #9 (S-2019) FOR AUTHORIZED ELIGIBLE EXPENSES.
Mr. Taormina: Livonia Commons was our second Brownfield project and it
involved the redevelopment of the property located at the corner of
Middlebelt and Schoolcraft Roads. It was previously Wal-Mart
before relocating Wonderland Village. While this site was not
completely redeveloped, it was substantially renovated and
Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment Authority
November 21, 2019
Page 5
expanded. In this case, there was contamination on the property
from a former gas station and dry cleaners that were located on
the property. The remediation costs in this case totaled over $2
million. The total for reimbursement is provided in your report. We
are at payment #9 at this point for that project. Looking at the
amounts captured, the base value established for this project was
about $1.7 million. The total for capture is $1.42 million and as we
apply the appropriate tax rate to that, we are looking at $41,000
roughly being captured. In this case three mills do go to the
Michigan Department of Treasury for the SET capture and that
equates to $4,270 and the balance is $36,894.88 gets reimbursed
to the developer for eligible Brownfield expenses. This project is
fully complete. We have all the documentation relative to the
eligible expenses. Trey Buffington sends his regrets. He could not
be here. He does typically show up. He is exiting the company.
He notified me last week. He said he will no longer be with NRE
Management.
Mr. Engebretson: Unless there is something very unusual happening, there is no
need for those folks to come to these meetings. I think you would
agree with that.
Mr. Taormina: I do agree with that
Mr. Engebretson: If you see that there is something kind of controversial or
surprising or way off the rails then we would want them here,
otherwise I don’t see the necessity. I think he came in from St.
Louis or something.
Mr. Taormina: Correct.
Mr. Engebretson: Any other comments or questions?
Mr. Vandette: Is this the last payment then? Since the project is complete.
Mr. Taormina: I believe the reimbursement in this case is for 13 years and we are
still fairly early in that capture period.
Mr. Engebretson: Steve, that is fairly commonplace to have that kind of time
frame. 12 or 13 years.
Mr. Vandette: The payments to the developer, are they meeting expectations or
are they below expectations and do you anticipate that all of the
eligible expenses will be covered by the LBRA or not?
Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment Authority

Mr. Taormina: That is a very good question.
Mr. Slater: In this case, no.
Mr. Taormina: In this case, definitely no. There was a previous request to extend
the reimbursement period. It was rejected by this body. In light of
the fact that their projections were based on an overestimation of
what the value of the project would be post-development. As a
result, the taxable value did not reach the level they had
anticipated, and the capture amounts are much less.
Mr. Engebretson: That was their estimate. We took the position that, had they
done their homework more thoroughly they probably would have
recognized that, but from our point, a deal is a deal. They
accepted it and we are moving on.
Mr. Vandette: I have no further questions.
Ms. Scheel: This one doesn’t show anything going to the LSRRF fund. Is that
correct?
Mr. Slater: That is correct.
Mr. Taormina: I will point out, like other projects however, five years following the
completion of the reimbursement period to the developer, we will
be collecting money that will go into the LSRRF.
Mr. Engebretson: Any further discussion? If not, a motion would be in order.
On a motion by Harb, seconded by Vandette, and adopted, it was:
#12-2019 RESOLVED, that the City of Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment
Authority does hereby approve the distribution of Captured Taxes
from the Livonia Commons Project as follows:
Payment #9 (S-2019) to the “Owner” of Livonia Commons, TMA-
LIVCOM, LLC, in the amount of $36,894.88 for the reimbursement
of eligible expenses.
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:

Mr. Engebretson: Mr. Taormina, before we go on to the next item, would you
share with me the page number that that starts on because the link
in the agenda does not produce a transfer to the information.
Mr. Taormina: That would be page 139. It should take you directly to the staff
report for Livonia Market II.
Mr. Engebretson: Be prepared to provide the same information on item number
eight.
Mr. Taormina: Will do, sir.
REVIEW OF LBRA TAX CAPTURE FOR LIVONIA MARKET II AND
CONSIDERATION OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCE (TIF) REIMBURSEMENT
PAYMENT #1 (S-2019) FOR AUTHORIZED ELIGIBLE EXPENSES.
Mr. Taormina: I will provide a little background on this. Mr. Zarbo is here who can
do the same. This is the development of the property across the
street from Livonia Marketplace. It was the former Farmer Jack
grocery store. Prior to that it was a Builder’s Square Home
Improvement store. This site was redeveloped a couple of years
ago by Lormax Stern, one of the companies as part of a joint
venture that redeveloped the Livonia Mall. The anchor tenant in
this case is L.A. Fitness. There are two other retail buildings that
have been developed on the site. Like the other three Brownfield
projects, this relies on TIF as the primary tool used to collect the
funds that reimburse the developer for eligible expenses. In this
case, the base value is set at roughly $1.3 million. City Council
made changes to the resolution that was offered by the Brownfield
Authority. That resolution was adopted in 2017, a copy of which is
in your packet. It capped the amount that could be reimbursed to
the developer for eligible activities to $1.6 million. It also limited
the number of years of capture to 11 and set the percentages to go
between the developer and LSRRF to 75%/25%. In this case, a
slightly higher amount will be in each collection that will go to the
LSRRF. Looking at the numbers, the value of all the real property
Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment Authority
November 21, 2019
Page 8
of Livonia Market II, taxable value that is, is $3.573 million. When
we subtract out that base value of $1.3 million, we are left with
roughly $2.267 million dollars as the incremental value for capture.
Then, applying the tax rate for capture results in a total of $31,567
of which roughly $7,900 will go to the LSRRF and the balance of
$23,675 to the developer.
Mr. Engebretson: Thank you for highlighting that in yellow. It’s easy to find. Mark,
do you recall what the council’s logic was in modifying the plan that
we recommended to them?
Mr. Taormina: I will provide my take on that and then Karl may want to provide his
own. They really wanted to parse out the, or what they felt were
expenses that were extraordinary in this particular case as it
pertained to the development. By that, what I mean are the costs
that would not otherwise be seen with other greenfield
developments. So certainly, the demolition costs were a part of
that, including much of the site utilities. I think that makes up a
significant part of the eligible costs in this case. It was really the
storm water detention that became the focus of a lot of the
discussion. At the end, I think what was provided then by the
applicant to the council provided them with the information that
they relied on in terms of making those adjustments.
Mr. Engebretson: Actually, I was at the meeting and I remember Karl Zarbo
having a fair amount of hearburn over the changes that were
made. Karl, is that right? You and I had a conversation that night.
Mr. Zarbo: We sure did. We went into this to set the perspective from the
developer’s standpoint and having an absolutely wonderful
experience with the City of Livonia and with the Brownfield
Authority. We had submitted for Brownfield for Livonia Market II a
little bit more than a year and a half in advance, thinking that would
be well out in advance before we were ready to buy and close. We
would know yes or no or to what extent. I don’t know if anybody is
exactly sure what happened, but it lingered, literally, for a year and
a half. We were in position where we bought the property. We
closed and we were under development so with the three or four
council meetings, not only was the eligible activity reduced to a
number that was fed to us, but we were a little surprised in the 80 /
20 split. We knew because of communications with the staff at
Livonia that the personal property tax was going to change, and we
had not anticipated that. What was important to us, and I think it
was in your package that was a monster and we apologize but we
Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment Authority
November 21, 2019
Page 9
feel its really important that you understand that that is one
submittal. I know it blew up your email, but that is the detail that
goes into that concept because you are obviously not reimbursed
for one penny that you haven’t already paid or it is not an eligible
activity or it is still approved and substantiated via the Brownfield
Authority.
Mr. Engebretson: I don’t want to dwell on it, but I recall the fact that you had
started pushing dirt around and making site improvements was a
point of discussion that didn’t work in your favor.
Mr. Zarbo: Correct. In case you don’t know, we have closed and sold both
properties. Livonia Market II was several months ago, and Livonia
Marketplace was about 10 days ago. A Livonia Marketplace we
think to make life easier, and certainly for us and for the city, we
retained a small piece, and this is only for those folks who have
been around for a long time, the old Joanne’s behind Sears. There
is also a road that goes out to St. Martin and because the
easement agreement has been complicated with the other entities,
we retained that road so that nothing can happen with whoever
owns or buys that, that would disrupt the relationship we have and
the agreement we have made with the city. There is a real funky
easement that runs along the west side of the existing Sear’s
building. Literally, when you look at it, its like a sidewalk that is
adjacent to the Wal-Mart and to the Sear’s. We retained that
easement also so that there would never be an issue at some point
in time whether the Sear’s gets demolished or just falls down on its
own, that you can come up with the access from that property
without having to go through the long timely process with Wal-
Mart. That is what we have retained. But both properties are sold
and gone.
Mr. Engebretson: So, having said that is this likely to be the last time we see you?
Mr,. Zarbo: The Brownfield’s are still to our entitlement and they both have
reasonable time left and like you had mentioned, there is two
issues with both of them. They can be satisfied by time or by
dollars. We won’t be anywhere near dollars on either one of them
so both of them will probably run the time limit that is set for each
of those Brownfields. One of those reasons, like with Livonia
Marketplace if you remember, that was 6.6, and as you indicated
the first one and a large one. We had carved out some money
back then that we would have contributed to encourage Sear’s to
Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment Authority
November 21, 2019
Page 10
do something. Obviously, that is never going to happen, so that
will never approach anywhere near that number.
Mr. Engebretson: There have been many failed attempts to work with Sear’s to
take that terrible eyesore down. Is there anything else?
Mr. Lomako: How did Market II qualify for Brownfield to begin with? Functionally
obsolete property?
Mr. Taormina: It was.
Mr. Lomako: Thank you
Mr. Zarbo: We took a lot of steps to redevelop it, but if anyone is familiar with
a large format grocery store, there was utilities everywhere. We
could not find an adaptive reuse for that property.
Mr. Engebretson: You did a great job on that property. If there is nothing else, a
motion would be in order.
On a motion by Scheel, seconded by Breen, and adopted, it was:
#13-2019 RESOLVED, that the City of Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment
Authority does hereby approve the distribution of Captured Taxes
from the Livonia Marketplace II Project as follows:
1. Payment #1 (S-2019) to Livonia Market II, LLC in the amount of
$23,675.60 for the reimbursement of eligible expenses as approved in
the Brownfield Plan;
2. A deposit of $7,891.87 into the Livonia Brownfield
Redevelopment Authority’s Local Site Remediation Revolving
Fund (LSRRF).

REVIEW OF LBRA TAX CAPTURE FOR HAGGERTY CENTER AND
CONSIDERATION OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCE (TIF)
REIMBURSEMENT PAYMENT #1 (S-2019) FOR AUTHORIZED
ELIGIBLE EXPENSES.
Mr. Taormina: Page 628. This item represents the first Brownfield TIF payment to
the developers of Haggerty Center, sometimes referred to as
Haggerty Square. This is a mixed-use project located on Haggerty
Road between Costco and the AMC theatre. Most everyone is
familiar with this location. The Brownfield Authority approved this
project back in October of last year and then subsequently Council
approved it in December. The 10.8-acre site was the former site of
Haggerty Tech Center. As you recall, the property was in the state
of severe deterioration at the time. It was demolished and
redeveloped into a project that includes two multi- tenant retail
buildings. Those two building are complete, totaling about 30,000
square feet. The first tenant in there is a restaurant called First
Watch. Other tenants moving in include Tropical Smoothie,
Premier Pet Supplies, another small restaurant called Mr. Kabob,
Beaumont is opening an Urgent Care Center, and then a physical
fitness studio. The pre-development Brownfield conditions at this
site included a combination of MDEQ environmental response
activities associated with contaminated soil. Also, the non-
environmental activities were mostly associated with the demolition
and site preparation work. Additionally, there was considerable
bad soil from a foundation standpoint. A lot of that discussion
occurred with the City Council as they reviewed this project. The
overall cost for eligible activities that were submitted were about
$6.7 million. Councils final approval of the Brownfield Plan and
Reimbursement Agreement limits the total tax capture for
reimbursement to an amount not to exceed $4.47 million. The
developer has submitted a certification of costs of eligible activities
up to this point, and that total so far is about $556,000, most of
which is related to non-environmental expenses. That is one of
what will probably be several draw requests on this project. We
anticipate getting at least one, maybe two or three more. That will
bring that number up significantly in terms of the overall eligible
costs for reimbursement. This will only capture real property. The
base value is set at $844,000. This is a relatively low amount
given the size of the property. The projected taxable value upon
completion of the project will be $13.7 million dollars. What is kind
of unique about this project is that their original estimates had the
Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment Authority
November 21, 2019
Page 12
taxable value, for this tax year, at about $6.5 million. They were
slow to get off the ground and hence the taxable value only
increased slightly to $857,000 for the 2019 tax year. As a result,
the capture amount is very small. That will not only be for this
capture of Summer 2019 but will be similar for Winter of 2019. We
don’t expect much because the taxable value won’t change until it
is reassessed in December 2019, which will be applied to next
years tax collection. The bottom line here is a total of $180 is
captured, $36.00 will go to the LSRRF and $144.00 to the
developer. As Mike said, it wasn’t really worth going through this,
but it is based on the agreement and point in time which we have
to begin collection taxes and reimbursing the developer.
Mr. Engebretson: What about the six cents?
Mr. Taormina: You have always had a sixth sense, so you can keep that.
Mr. Vandette: That’s why they aren’t here today?
Mr. Taormina: I was in communication with them and I am surprised that
someone isn’t here. I will make sure someone is here at the next
meeting. He can give an update on the project.
Mr. Vandette: For $186.00…
Ms. Scheel: Big Money.
Mr. Taormina: He would be here if I really pressured him to be here.
Mr. Engebretson: I think that might be an exception as far as representatives
being here. I am thinking in the really early stages it would be nice
to have Mr. Jonna here to give us an update on things. It looks like
they are really smoking out there.
Mr. Taormina: It looks really nice out there. I was out to the site the other day and
it looks like they are well underway with the residential project as
well. They haven’t gone vertical yet, but a lot of the underground
has been done. The garages are up so part of the accessory
structures are up.
Ms. Scheel: The barriers?
Mr. Taormina: Exactly.
Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment Authority
November 21, 2019
Page 13
Mr. Taormina: A traffic signal will probably be added to that location. We are
going to see additional traffic control measures on Haggerty Road.
Mr. Engebretson: Is that being seriously considered?
Mr. Taormina: They have been approved by Wayne County. That is my
understanding.
Mr. Engebretson: That is good news because that can be suicide coming out of
there in the dark and rain. I am glad to hear that. Any further
discussion on this?
Mr. Vandette: Mark, did Mr. Jonna indicate why they got a slow start?
Mr. Taormina: I think that was timing overall. When we first sat down the year
prior and started looking at the numbers, I think the presumption
was that the project would be underway sooner or maybe they
didn’t properly forecast at what point the development would
commence in order to get that taxable value up. It, effectively, is
going to cost them a year of reimbursement as a result. Mike and I
have gotten much better at this as we look at these projects when
they first come to us and try to look at and project the taxable
value. We have to rely substantially on the information they
provide us in terms of how much they are investing and what they
believe the project will be worth when it is completed.
Mr. Slater: There is some truth to the whole matter of them giving us numbers
and time frames. If they make errors in either of those figures, is it
the City’s issue to resolve that or it’s the cost of business? I think
we have come to the sense that it is the cost of business.
Mr. Engebretson: Unless the error goes the other way.
Mr. Slater: It never goes the other way.
Mr. Engebretson: Anything else folks? If not, there would be a motion in order.
Mr. Fried: I have a question. You talk about value. The value is the
assessed twice equalized value or is that numbers that basically
you put in or whatever, but what happens when the economy goes
down and the value of these things goes down? What happens to
this?
Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment Authority
November 21, 2019
Page 14
Mr. Slater: Number one, it’s the taxable value, it isn’t SEV. So, if things go as
they expect, and their SEV is going up by quite a bit and their
taxable value is bumping up, the SEV comes down and it doesn’t
hit taxable value. It’s not going to impact them. If it does, then the
property value goes down and they are going to get a lower
reimbursement.
Mr. Fried: The thing is that they petition based on what they put out for
reimbursement based on whatever the base is as far as values
going up, but what little I have read is that large shopping centers
with large developments are having real problems because of
either: 1. There is no rental income from them, so when the value
is based to go down and some of those cases end up in the court
system as far as value is concerned. We are looking at a 10 and
15, well I think I saw 10- and eight-year projection,…
Mr. Slater: Projections are projections. They may be right, they may not be
right, but what they are reimbursed will be based upon reality.
Mr. Fried: Reality, the money they spent for by increased value so if the
projections don’t pan out, at some point either they have a
maximum amount or there is a period of limitation, one of the two.
Is that correct?
Mr. Taormina: That is correct.
Mr. Engebretson: Glad we got that straightened out. Anything else? We are
looking for a motion for item number eight for Haggerty Road.
On a motion by Lomako, seconded by Fried, and adopted, it was:
#14-2019 RESOLVED, that the City of Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment
Authority does hereby approve the distribution of Captured Taxes
from the Livonia Haggerty Center Project as follows:

$144.75 for the reimbursement of eligible expenses; and
2. A deposit of $36.19 into the Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment
