The housing and public facility project will include the construction and extension of certain infrastructure and utility improvements needed to develop a single-family residential development within the District, which is currently anticipated to include approximately 119 single-family homes and 49 duplexes. The infrastructure and utility improvements constructed within the boundaries of the District are anticipated to include, but not be limited to the following: Site preparation, construction of streets and roadways, grading, paving, curbing, guttering, and surfacing, sidewalk, parking, water mains and extensions, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, detention basins, gas, electric improvements, signage, erosion control, right-of-way improvements, and other related infrastructure, utility improvements and related expenses. Infrastructure improvements may be constructed prior to or concurrently with the housing facilities in the project.
EXHIBIT E SUMMARY OF THE CONTRACTUAL ASSURANCES BY THE DEVELOPER AND OF THE COMPREHENSIVE FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS Contractual Assurances
The Governing Body expects to enter into a Development Agreement (the "Development Agreement") with DVP LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (the "Developer"). The Development Agreement will include the project construction schedule, a description of projects to be constructed, financial obligations of the developer, and administrative support from the City. The Development Agreement will include contractual assurances, if any, the Governing Body has received from the Developer guaranteeing the financial feasibility of specific housing tax incentive projects in the proposed district.
Feasibility Study
The Developer has conducted a study to determine whether the public benefits derived from the District will exceed the costs and that the income from the District, together with other sources of revenue provided by the developer, would be sufficient to pay for the public improvements to be undertaken in the District. The analysis estimates the property tax revenues that will be generated from the development of the District, less existing property taxes and ce1iain unavailable property tax revenues to determine the revenue stream available to support the costs of the public infrastructure. The estimates indicate that the revenue realized from the project together with other sources of Developer funds would be adequate to pay the eligible costs.
