Tax Incremental District No. 11 Project Plan City of Plymouth
Prepared by Ehlers Page | 3
SECTION 1:
Executive Summary
DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT
Tax Incremental District (“TID”) No. 11 (“District”) is a proposed Industrial
District comprising approximately
190
acres located
in the general area of
County Road PP and State Highway 57.
The District will be created to pay the
costs of
facilitating the public infrastructure upgrades (
“Project”) to
facilitate
an expansion of Sartori Cheese
(“Developer”).
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 $
2,081,481
(“Project Costs”) to undertake the projects listed in this Project Plan (“Plan”).
Project Costs include an estimated
$561,481 in long
-
term principal and interest
payments, $775,00 in capital project costs, $490,000 to repay advances from
other funds and $255,00 in ongoing planning and administrative costs.
INCREMENTAL VALUATION
The City
projects that new land and improvements value of approximately
$
4,700,000
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 St
udy 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 generate sufficient tax increment to
pay all Project Costs within
20
of its allowable 20 years.
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. In
reaching this determination,
the City has considered:
The substantial investment needed to provide the public infrastructure
necessary to allow for development within the District. Absent the use of tax
Tax Incremental District No. 11 Project Plan City of Plymouth
Prepared by Ehlers Page | 4
incremental financing, the City is unable to fully fund this program of
infrastructure improvements.
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 the following
information:
The expectation that the Project
add an additi
onal
27
jobs to
the area and
that
the Developer is likely to purchase goods and services from local
suppliers in construction of the Project, and induced effects of employee
households spending locally for goods and services from retailers,
restaurants and service companies.
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 t
o 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 suitable
for industrial sites as defined by Wis. Stat. § 66.1101, and has been zoned for
industrial use. Any real property within the District that is found suitable for
industrial sites and is zoned for industrial use at t
he time of creation of the
District will remain zoned for industrial use for the life of the District.
5.
Based on the foregoing finding, the District is designated as an industrial
district.
6.
The Project Costs relate directly to promoting industrial development 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.
Tax Incremental District No. 11 Project Plan City of Plymouth
Prepared by Ehlers Page | 5
9.
The City estimates tha
t less than 35%
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 Plan
of the City.

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 in
cremental 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
$
46,955,100.
This
value is less than the maximum of $
151,383,516
in equalized value that is
permitted for the City
.

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 Co
st. 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.
With all Project Costs, 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, perm
its, 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 al
ong with the Detailed List of Project Costs found in

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 $
4,700,000
million in incremental value by
2027,
Estimated valuations and timing for
construction of the Project are included in
Table 1.
Assuming the City’s current
equalized TID Interim tax rate of
$13.80
per thousand of equalized value, and
no economic appreciation or depreciation, the Project would generate
$1,264,530
in incremental tax revenue over the 20
-
year term of the District as
shown in
Table 2

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 less than 35%
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. Land within the District zoned industrial at the time of District
creation will remain in a zoning
classification suitable for industrial sites for the
life of the District.
Master (Comprehensive) Plan and Map
The proposed Plan is in general conformance with the City’s Comprehensive
Plan identifying the area as appropriate for industrial 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.
Tax Incremental District No. 11 Project Plan City of Plymouth
Prepared by Ehlers Page | 31
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
creating new industrial sites
,
providing necessary public infrastructure improvements
,
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 increased
employment opportunities and
maintaining large industries in the City
.

•
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.
T
he Plan includes the following non
