Dear Members of the Joint Review Board,
I, Mayor John R. Nelson, do hereby recommend Mike Barber for the Public Member
seat on the City of Franklin Joint Review Board. My prior nomination has informed me
that she will be unable to fulfill the duties of this post.
Mr. Barber currently serves with distinction on the City of Franklin Economic
Development Commission and served as District 5 Alderman for 9 years. He served on
the Board of Health, Volition Franklin Committee, Quarry Monitoring Committee,
Economic Development Commission and Personnel Committee.
Mr. Barber’s aldermanic district contains the proposed Tax Increment District No. 10,
and he is very familiar with that area of the City, the TID-10 Project, as well as all
Franklin issues. He has an MBA from Marquette University and has had highly
successful careers at Harley Davidson and Milwaukee County.
Mike is very qualified for the seat of Public Member on the City of Franklin Joint Review

To the City of Franklin Joint Review Board,
I am volunteering and nominating myself for the public member position on the Joint Review Board
(JRB).
I had no intention of doing this, but after reviewing the options and nominations on social media, I
am extremely concerned that this will not be a neutral member without preconceived notions
based on past affiliations. More concerning is past relationships and derogatory statements
made by nominated individuals. It is extremely important that this position is held by a neutral
and objective person with integrity and without political and personal influence.
Below are my qualifications, which I believe make me the most appropriate and likely most
experienced option for this position.
• Resident of Franklin and owner of Franklin businesses for about 30 years.
• Past President and current Board Member of Engage Franklin, which provides me with the
motivation to ensure any decisions made by the JRB are in the best interest of tourism in
Franklin.
• I have spent a great deal of time reviewing TID documents, and in this case specifically TID
10. This review has included a thorough review of State Statutes as well as all of the various
aspects of TID development in general. This review has been done objectively to ensure that
decisions are made without political or personal influence.
• My professional qualifications include being a Wisconsin Registered Professional Engineer,
Wisconsin Real Estate Broker and Wisconsin Dwelling Contractor Qualifier. All of these, and
the related experience in development would be a benefit to the JRB.
My reason for accepting my role with Engage Franklin was to ensure objectivity and integrity within
the organization. This is the same reason that I am volunteering for the JRB position. I am
completely independent and sincerely believe that my appointment to this position would avoid
unnecessary conflict and political pressure on the Board and throughout the community. I simply
want what is in the best interest of Franklin.
If there is anything else you would need from me prior to Wednesday’s meeting, please let me
know.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

WhyInterested: The public-member seat should reflect an independent resident
perspective. I am interested in serving on the Joint Review Board because I believe it
benefits from someone who is not approaching TID review as a former elected official, but
as a resident who has taken the time to study the issues carefully. Over the past several
months, I have developed a focused understanding of Tax Incremental Districts and Tax
Increment Financing, especially as they relate to Franklin’s current development decisions.
I believe the public member should bring a true resident perspective that is independent
from prior officeholding or City government experience. I would bring a prepared,
independent, and evidence-based approach to the review process. My goal would be to
ask thoughtful questions, review the record carefully, and help ensure that TID decisions
are supported by clear facts, sound reasoning, and fiscal responsibility.
DescriptionofDutiesJob1: Currently studying artificial intelligence, specifically data
science, distributed computing, and startup development with the goal of building a
platform that allows individuals to opt in and share unused computer processing power for
AI workloads when their devices are idle. The concept would allow users to be
compensated for contributing computational resources while helping create a
decentralized network for AI processing. This work involves learning AI systems, technical
infrastructure, platform design, user incentives, business planning, and the practical
challenges of building a scalable technology product. It has strengthened my ability to
analyze systems, learn technical material independently, organize complex ideas, and
think about long-term impacts.
DescriptionofDutiesJob2: Served as a student researcher in a neuroscience lab and then
became self guided, where I designed behavioral research concepts and built custom
experimental systems using programming, 3D printing, Arduino-based electronics, and
AI/machine-learning concepts. I developed a human-adapted Skinner box with 3D printing
and designed a behavioral study on deception using camera-based facial data analysis to
establish behavioral baselines for deception. I also prepared university research ethics
approval materials for my own experiments. This experience strengthened my ability to
design structured methods, evaluate evidence, work through complex technical problems,
and communicate research clearly.
DescriptionofDutiesJob3: Served as a student/peer tutor in anatomy, physiology, and
chemistry while enrolled at UW–Waukesha. Helped students work through complex
science concepts, lab material, chemical principles, biological systems, and exam
preparation. This role strengthened my ability to explain technical information clearly,
identify where someone is struggling, and guide others through difficult material in a
structured and understandable way.
AdditionalExperience: I have reviewed TID project plans, agenda packets, blight
materials, development assumptions, development agreements, public records, statutory
requirements, and the role of the Joint Review Board in determining whether a proposed
TID is financially and legally justified. I have also researched TIDs in other Wisconsin
communities, including Greenfield, Cudahy, South Milwaukee, DeForest, Oak Creek,
Wauwatosa, West Allis, Eau Claire, and others. This has allowed me to compare how
different municipalities structure TID project plans, document blight findings, use
development incentives, evaluate projected tax increment, and consider the long-term
impact on overlapping taxing jurisdictions. I bring a combination that is unusual for this
seat: a resident perspective, recent focused TID research, document-review skills, and the
ability to analyze technical material without being part of City government.

SECTION 1:
Executive Summary
DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT
Tax Incremental District (“TID”) No. 10 (“District”) is a proposed Blighted Area
District comprising approximately 30 acres located to the southeast of S. 76th
Street and W Rawson Avenue. The District will be created to pay the cost of
development incentives and other ongoing administrative costs related to
redevelopment of the Orchard View Shopping Center and adjoining parcels
(“Project”). The initial d evelopment will consist of a 292- unit market rate
multifamily development to be constructed by Land by Label (“Developer”)
named Poths General, honoring the legacy of the historic Poths General Store
that previously stood on the site. Additionally, the Developer plans to build a
new Dollar Tree store within the district, to replace the existing Dollar Tree
building that will be demolished by the Developer as a part of the multifamily
development. There is also opportunity for future commercial development in
the District. In addition to the incremental property value that will be created,
the City expects the Project to provide employment opportunities, increased
income and sales tax collection, development of housing, increased commercial
activity, and other benefits to the local economy resulting from the purchase
of goods and services related to construction and operation of the Project.
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 5.7 million
(“Project Costs”) to undertake the projects listed in this Project Plan (“Plan”).
Project Costs include an estimated $15 million for development incentives, and
$705,000 for ongoing administrative expenses.
INCREMENTAL VALUATION
The City projects that new land and improvements value of approximately $42
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.
Tax Incremental District No. 10 Project Plan City of Franklin
Prepared by Ehlers Page | 4
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 its allowable 27 year life.
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 engaged SB Friedman Development Advisors to evaluate the
Developer’s request for tax incremental financing assistance and to provide
an opinion as to whether the Project requires it to procced. The following
excerpt taken from the Friedman report summarizes the conclusions . The
City has relied on this report to conclude that but for the receipt of the
requested assistance, the Project will not proceed. (A full copy of the
Friedman report is attached as Appendix A).
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 benefits that will result
from the Project:
a. Creation of 292 housing units, providing housing for workers and families
that will support the local economy.
b. Redevelopment of a blighted site, providing new housing and
commercial uses that will generate significantly more economic activity
than present uses in the District.
c. The short-term economic benefit in terms of employment and purchase
of materials and services related to construction of the Project.
Tax Incremental District No. 10 Project Plan City of Franklin
Prepared by Ehlers Page | 5
d. The long -term economic benefit resulting from increased employment
associated with uses to be established in the District.
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 a blighted
area as defined by Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(2)(ae)1.
5. Based on the foregoing finding, the District is designated as a blighted area
district.
6. The Project Costs relate directly to the elimination of blight 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 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. 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.

Blighted Area:
The District will be designated as a blighted area. Under the definition of
blighted area found at Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(2)(ae), qualifying criteria includes :
“An area, including a slum area, in which the structures, buildings or
improvements, which by reason of dilapidation, deterioration, age or
obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or open
spaces, high density of populatio n and overcrowding, or the existence of
conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any
combination of these factors is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease,
infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, or crime, and is detrimental to the public
health, safety, morals or welfare”; or “An area which is predominantly open and
which consists primarily of an abandoned highway corridor, as defined in §
66.1333(2m)(a), or that consists of land upon which buildings or structures have
been demolished and which because of obsolete platting, diversity of
ownership, deterioration of structures or of site improvements, or otherwise,
substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the community.”
Specific blighting conditions include the following parcels:
• The Orchard View Shopping Center, specifically the Poth’s General Site
(see Map Reference #1).
• 13 acres of vacant land, east of the shopping center (Map Reference #6 &
#7).
A total of 24.40 acres, or 81% of the District area, is blighted, meeting the
requirement that at least 50% of the area be blighted.
See Appendices B and C for the Blight Designation Narrative & Photos.
Tax Incremental District No. 10 Project Plan City of Franklin

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

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 following is a list of 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 L ist of Project Costs found in Section 8 provide
additional information as to the kind, number and location of potential Project
Costs. There are no public improvements in this Project Plan.
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.
Miscellaneous
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 ser vices 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 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.
Financing Costs
Interest expense, debt issuance expenses, redemption premiums, and any other
fees and costs incurred in conjunction with obtaining financing for projects
undertaken under this Plan are eligible Project Costs.

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 $42 million in
incremental value by 2054. 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 $ 16.50 per thousand of equalized value, declining at -0.5%
annually, and no economic appreciation or depreciation, the Project would
generate $17 million in incremental tax revenue over the 27 -year term of the
District as shown in Table 2.

Prepared by Ehlers Page | 21
Financing and Implementation
The City expects to enter into a development agreement to provide the
Developer with a pay-as-you go (“PAYGO”) developer incentive up to a cap of
$15 million. The terms include annual PAYGO payments will be equal to 90% of
the tax increment generated by the residential portion of the Project. Payments
to the Developer are payable solely from and limited to the tax increment
generated, subject to annual appropriation . I f the Project achieves financial
returns above 17% IRR or 3.00x investor return multiple, the City would be
entitled to 25% of excess proceeds, not to exceed $2.5 million. This summary is
intended to provide a general explanation of the District plan of finance.
Specific terms and conditions pertaining to development pr ojects will be
detailed in related development agreements.
Based on the Project Cost expenditures as included within the cash flow exhibit
(Table 3), the District is projected to accumulate sufficient funds by the year
2054 to pay off all Project cost liabilities and obligations. The projected closure
is based on the various assumptions noted in this Plan and will vary dependent
on actual Project Costs incurred and the actual amount of tax increments
collected. In particular, the Plan only considers the tax increment to be
generated by the residential development. The City expects commercial
development and redevelopment to occur within the District. P otential
incremental value increases from that commercial development are not
quantified but will increase tax increment collections that may permit an earlier
closure of the District.

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 opportunities for
mixed use development , rehabilitating and conserving property , eliminating
blighted areas , providing necessary public infrastructure improvements , 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
a. Creation of 292 housing units, providing housing for workers and families
that will support the local economy.
b. Redevelopment of a blighted site, providing new housing and commercial
uses that will generate significantly more economic activity than present
uses in the District.
c. Short-term economic benefits in terms of employment and purchase of
materials and services related to construction of the Project.
d. Long-term economic benefits resulting from increased employment
associated with uses to be established in the District.

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.

MEMO
To: City of Franklin
From: SB Friedman Development Advisors, LLC
Date: February 2, 2026
RE: Poth’s General Development Underwriting Analysis
Project Background
SB Friedman Development Advisors, LLC (SB Friedman) was engaged by the City of Franklin ( “City”) to conduct a
preliminary financial review of a proposed redevelopment of the Orchard View Shopping Center on 76th Street, south
of Rawson Avenue (“Site”). The redevelopment of the Site includ es 292 residential units located within a three -story
apartment building and eight (8) garden style buildings, and 4,100 square feet of retail space (“Project”), as shown in
Figure 1. The Project is anticipated to cost $83.8M. The Project will be developed by Land by Label (“Developer”).
Figure 1. Proposed Site Plan
Source: Rinka, City of Franklin
Throughout 2025, SB Friedman reviewed multiple iterations of the development pro forma and worked with the City
and Developer to negotiate terms around the City’s participation in the Project. The term sheet, agreed to in principle
on July 22, 2025, included the following (see Exhibit A for full terms):
Appendix A Page 1 of 8
City of Franklin | Poth’s General Development Underwriting Analysis
SB Friedman Development Advisors, LLC 2
• The assistance would be provided through municipal revenue obligation (MRO) payments equaling 90% of
the incremental property taxes generated by the Project over the 27-year lifetime of a proposed Tax
Increment Financing District (“TID”)
• The term sheet included a not-to-exceed amount of $17,200,000 which was later reduced to $15,000,000 (as
of January 2, 2026).
• The requested MRO payments would be contingent on the Project receiving an occupancy permit from the
City and achieving certain occupancy thresholds (Exhibit A Section 1.a.i. and ii.).
• Any cost savings determined after construction would be shared equally between the Developer and City.
• If the Project achieves financial returns above 17% IRR or 3.00x investor return multiple, the City would be
entitled to 25% of excess proceeds, not to exceed $2,500,000.
This memo reflects an analysis conducted on an updated pro forma prepared by the Developer and submitted to SB
Friedman on January 2nd, 2026. Relative to the assumptions reviewed during the term sheet negotiation period, the
Project unit count has reduced from 311 to 292 and the commercial SF has increased from 2,800 to 4,100. These changes
resulted in the development budget decreasing from $ 92.6 million to $ 83.8 million, in addition to other marginal
changes throughout the Developer’s pro forma (e.g., more detailed construction cost estimates).
The purpose of this analysis is to evaluate whether the Project, as presented in the Developer’s most recent pro forma,
appears to need public financial assistance , at the levels agreed to in principle in July 2025, in order to generate
sufficient returns to be financially feasible. This financial “but-for” test is analytical in nature and is meant to inform
a larger policy discussion regarding whether the Project meets desired public objectives.
Review Process
SB Frieman’s review process utilizes an in -depth review of the Project , comparable projects within the surrounding
market, and industry data to answer the following questions:
1. Review Project and Site Context
a. Where is the project located?
b. What is the development program and mix of land uses?
2. Evaluate Development Budget
a. What are the project development costs? (land, construction costs, etc.)
b. Are project costs in line with industry benchmarks? If not, why?
3. Evaluate Financing Assumptions
a. How does the developer intend to finance the project (debt, equity, etc.)?
b. Are financing assumptions in line with current market expectations?
4. Evaluate Operating Assumptions
a. Are revenue (e.g., rents) and expense assumptions reasonable given target tenant profile, market context
and industry benchmarks?
5. Calculate Project Financial Returns
a. Is the project achieving a level of financial returns that would make attract sufficient debt and equity
investment?
6. Identify Financial Gap
a. Is there a demonstrable financial gap that requires public assistance to make the project viable?
7. Identify Drivers of Need for Assistance
a. What project components are driving the financial gap?
b. Do these drivers align with larger policy goals?

Review of Developer’s Model
Key takeaways from SB Friedman’s review of the Developer’s pro forma are outlined below.
DEVELOPMENT HARD AND SOFT COSTS
• The estimated total development costs (TDC) of the Project are $83.8 million.
• The Developer estimates hard costs of approximately $ 212,481/unit, which is lower than the range of
comparable projects reviewed by SB Friedman, including Land by Label’s recent project in West Allis.
o The project is larger in both unit count and gross square footage than other similar projects reviewed,
which likely contributes to the lower cost per unit and square footage. It should be noted that most
recent iteration of the development pro forma inclu des detailed construction costs estimates from a
construction bid dated 11/7/2025.
• Soft and financing costs are expected to be 8.7% and 5.4% of TDC, respectively, or 14.4% of TDC in aggregate.
This is within our benchmark range of 10-15% of TDC.
• The Developer is including a developer fee of 4. 1% of TDC, net of acquisition costs, which is below our 5%
benchmark.
FINANCING ASSUMPTIONS
• The Developer's permanent financing assumptions, including amortization (30 years), interest rate (5.51%), cap
rate (5.75%), and debt coverage ratio (1.25), align with the current financing environment.
OPERATING ASSUMPTIONS
• Average rent is assumed to be $2. 03/SF at stabilization. This rent appears reasonable based on the rents at
Velo Village and other comparable projects in Franklin and the surrounding municipalities. Additional details
on rent by unit type can be seen below in Figure 2.
• The unit sizes proposed in the Project are smaller than recent comparable projects. Smaller unit sizes contribute
to the higher per SF rent values for the Project compared to the market, even for unit types with similar chunk
rent. Only 3 -bedroom units are anticipated to achieve lower per square foot ren t and chunk rent than the
comps. It appears that 3 -bedrooms units are not a common typology within th is new construction rental
market, and the Project includes only 26 3-bedroom units.
Figure 2. Effective Rent of Comparable Projects
Studio 1-Bedroom 2-Bedroom 3-Bedroom
Chunk Per SF Chunk Per SF Chunk Per SF Chunk Per SF
Poth’s General $1,455 $2.51 $1,597 $2.18 $2,114 $1.89 $2,581 $1.89
Comp Average[1] $1,434 $2.20 $1,636 $2.03 $2,046 $1.75 $2,758 $1.94
[1] Comparable projects in nearby municipalities were used to supplement data for Studio and 3-Bedroom values
Source: CoStar, Land by Label, SB Friedman
• Stabilized expenses are assumed to be 18.9% of revenue, which is within range of our 20% benchmark.
• The Developer is assuming 3% annual rent and expense escalation, which is at the high end of the range
typically observed by SB Friedman in similar projects (2-3%).
• The Developer assumes property taxes per square foot will be $2. 83/SF at stabilization. This value appears
reasonable based on the value of comparable projects in Franklin and the assumed tax rate of 1 6.26 in 2028
as projected in our TIF projection model (tax rate provided by Staff).
Appendix A Page 3 of 8
City of Franklin | Poth’s General Development Underwriting Analysis
SB Friedman Development Advisors, LLC 4
• The Developer is assuming $14/SF NNN in rent from the commercial component which appears conservative
based on market data from CoStar ($17.50/SF) but may be appropriate given the location of the proposed
4,100 SF commercial space (set back from 76th Street, which limits visibility).
FINANCIAL GAP WITHOUT ASSISTANCE
• Without assistance, the Project is expected to achieve a leveraged internal rate of return (LIRR) of 8.42%, which
is well below the required returns to make a project financially feasible in the current market.
• The Developer has indicated that their equity investors typically require a return of at least 12% LIRR, which is
below the 15% return commonly expected in the current market.
• The gap between achievable returns without assistance and expected returns is primarily driven by the
relationship between cost of construction and achievable rents within the market.
• At this anticipated financial return, the developer would have a difficult time attracting the necessary investor
equity required to complete the Project.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE REQUEST
• The Developer’s financial assistance request, as noted above, consists of MRO payments equaling 90% of the
incremental property taxes generated by the Project over the 27-year lifetime of the proposed TID.
• Based on SB Friedman’s projections, which were updated to reflect the change in the development program
and tax rate , the Project is estimated to generate approximately $ 17.2 million in incremental property taxes
over the 27-year life of the TID. This value is lower than projections completed in July 2025 due to the reduction
in unit count from 311 to 292 and the 2026 Base Tax Rate changing from 17.71 to 16.504 per staff.
• Key assumptions included in the projections are outlined below:
o The projections assume the base value of the TID to be $3,789,100.
o The added assessed value per unit is assumed to be approximately $158,000 (2025$), which is within
range of Velo Village and other comparable projects in the surrounding market.
o Based on discussions with the City, the projections assume 0% value appreciation and a -0.5% annual
decline in tax rate over the lifetime of the TID.
PROJECT FINANCIAL RETURNS WITH ASSISTANCE
• With the requested financial assistance, the Project is expected to achieve a financial return of 11.56% LIRR.
• While this is still below market-typical return expectations, the Developer indicated the Project can be financed
and completed as proposed.
FINANCIAL BUT-FOR TEST
• Based on SB Friedman’s analysis of the Developer’s financial pro forma, we determined that the assumptions
are reasonable based on comparable projects and current market conditions.
• Without assistance, the Project would achieve returns substantially below expected market returns as stated
by Land by Label and as observed by SB Friedman on other recent development projects in the region.
• Therefore, it is our conclusion that this Project would not occur, as presented, but-for the financial assistance
requested by the Developer.

Poths General Redevelopment of Orchard View Shopping Center
City of Franklin
July 17, 2025
La
nd By Label LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“LxL”) is currently working toward
the redevelopment of the largely vacant and unsightly Orchard View Shopping Center (the
“Redevelopment”) near the southeast corner of Rawson and 76 th Street in Franklin, Wisconsin
(the “City”). The Redevelopment is planned as a dynamic mixed-use community featuring a wide
range of use categories, including food and beverage purveyors, retail, luxury apartments . The
project will be known as “Poths General” (“ Poths General ”). Poths General will require
significant infrastructure, including traffic improvements, demolition and disposal of the blighted
shopping center and streetscaping (the “ Infrastructure”) and is not financially feasible without
the financial help of the City. Therefore, LxL and City agree to the following terms to facilitate
Poths General, which terms are non -binding and remain subject to execution and approval of a
mutually agreeable development agreement.
1. LX
L Obligations
a. LXL shall complete demolition on the existing shopping center by December 31,
2025 and commence construction on Poths General by April 1, 2026.
b. LXL shall obtain certificates of occupancy for all of the residential units (the
“Residential Property”) in Poths General by July 1, 2028 (“Occupancy Date”).
c. LXL shall construct Poths General in accordance with City approved plans and
specifications.
d. LXL shall collaborate and cooperate with City on the creation of a tax incremental
financing district for the Redevelopment.
e. LXL shall obtain debt and/or cash and other equity in the aggregate amount of
approximately $90,800,000 required to construct Poths General (the “ LXL
Funds”) (subject to the City Funds, as defined herein).
f. LXL will provide a reasonable construction completion guaranty.
g. LXL shall commence formal marketing efforts on that certain commercial parcel
adjacent to 76
th Street (the “Commercial Parcel”) within 60 days following the
later of City’s approval of: (a) tax incremental financing for the project on the terms
generally outlined herein and (b) City’s approval of all entitlements, permits and
other approvals necessary for the development and construction of Poths General.
LXL shall deliver to the City evidence reasonably demonstrating LXL’s marketing
efforts for the Commercial Parcel.
h. LXL shall use best efforts to develop the Com mercial Parcel at a minimum of
25,000 square feet of commercial building space; provided that, City approves such
development intensity on the Commercial Parcel.
Exhibit A
Appendix A Page 6 of 8
i. LXL Shall grade & hydroseed the Commercial Parcel by May 1, 2026.
j. If LXL or an affiliate has not commenced construction on the Commercial Parcel
within three (3) years after completion of footings and foundations on the first
residential building of Poth’s General, then the City shall have the right to acquire the
Commercial Parcel for $1.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LXL shall have the right
to repurchase the Commercial Parcel for $1.00 if it secures a buyer and/or tenant for
the Commercial Parcel, o btains a building permit for the same, and the City has not
previously sold and/or leased the Commercial Parcel to another party in an arms-length,
third party transaction.
2. City Funds
a. Municipal Revenue Obligation. To allow LXL to recoup a portion of LXL’s Funds
expended for Poths General, including the public parks and infrastructure, the City
shall provide a municipal revenue obligation (i.e. developer -financed TIF) (the
“MRO”) on the following terms:
i. The first MRO payment shall not occur until March 31 following the year a
temporary occupancy permit has been issued for the Residential Property
and every year after , at which time LXL shall receive percentage of
remaining tax increment equal to percentage of occupancy as of January 1
of such year after payment of City Admin Costs (as defined below) (the
“Reduced MRO Payment” ) until the Residential Property reaches 9 0%
occupancy for a period of 3 months (the “Occupancy Threshold”).
ii. Once the Residential Property reaches the Occupancy Threshold, LXL shall
receive: (a) the difference between 90% of remaining tax increment after
City Admin Costs and the Reduced MRO Payment, plus (b) 90% of
remaining tax increment after City Admin Costs every year after.
iii. Administration fees and City principal and interest, if any, on City interfund
advances (the “City Admin Costs ”) shall not exceed $115,000 withheld
from years 1, 2 and 3 and not exceed $15,000 per year for each subsequent
payment.
iv.
MRO shall be capped at $17,200,000. The City shall have the right to prepay
outstanding amounts due on the MRO subject to a mutually agreeable valuation
method.
b. Impact Fee Waiver: As part of the Redevelopment, LXL will install significant traffic
improvements, if warranted. Accordingly, the City shall waive the transportation
impact fee (of what would be collected by the City) up to/equal to the amount of
construction costs of the warranted improvements; provided, however, that LXL shall
be obligated to pay all other impact fees and connection fees. The foregoing impact fee
credit does not apply to the development of the Commercial parcel.
3. Cost Savings.
LXL and the City shall share equally in all cost savings (excluding therefrom
Appendix A Page 7 of 8
construction interest reserves and reasonable capital improvement reserves), within 90 days
following the City’s issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the last residential unit in
Poths General and LXL’s construction lender’s approval of the release of such funds.
4. Contingent Interest. The City shall have a contingent interest in Poths General, whereby
the City shall be entitled to 25% of proceeds above the greater of a 17.00% IRR or 3. 00x
multiple calculated on investor returns and equity; provided that, the aggregate amount of
the contingent interest shall not exceed $2,500,000.
We believe Poths General is a catalytic redevelopment opportunity representing best -in-class
concept and design. The redevelopment of the blighted Orchard View Shopping Center will have
a positive impact beyond its boundaries. I look forward to seeing our shared vision brought to life.
AGREED TO IN PRINCIPLE AS OF THE ____ DAY OF JULY, 2025.

Orchard View Shopping Center Blight Designation Narrative & Photos
Orchard View Shopping Center, located at 7154 S 76th Street, is a mostly vacant, deteriorated
shopping center characterized by aging, dilapidated buildings with failing roofs, outdated
mechanical systems, inadequate lighting and ventilation, and neglected site improvements that
pose fire and safety hazards. The building has been repeatedly graffitied, and several long-vacant
spaces have been used over the years for miscellaneous storage, requiring substantial clean-out
before they can be safely accessed or reused. The parking lot is severely deteriorated with
extensive potholes, crumbling pavement, and non-functioning parking lot lights, creating unsafe
conditions and contributing to crime and vandalism. Many utility services to the buildings have
been disconnected, rendering the spaces unusable for prospective tenants even when tenant
interest exists.
The approximately 13-acres of vacant land east of the shopping center has historically been used
as an unregulated dump area for non-structural soil fill, resulting in uneven grades, unstable
ground conditions, and pockets of subsurface debris that pose risks to public safety and future
development. Former farm ponds on the property have been partially filled with gravel, rubble,
and miscellaneous refuse, contributing to unsafe conditions. Furthermore, the absence of
functional infrastructure substantially impairs the viability of the site.
These combined factors create conditions detrimental to public health, safety, and welfare and
substantially impair the sound growth of the surrounding community.
The enclosed photos depict the deteriorated state of the property.

RE: Blight Determination – 13-Acre Vacant Property at Poths General
This memorandum documents the physical, environmental, and access-related constraints
affecting the approximately 13-acre vacant property located at 76th and Rawson to be developed
into Poths General (the “Property”) and explains why these conditions meet the criteria for
blight. Although currently undeveloped, the Property is burdened by significant site
abnormalities that impair its usability, pose potential public safety concerns, and require
extraordinary mitigation costs to make the land suitable for any reasonable use.
1. Geological Conditions
The Property has historically been used as an unregulated dump area for non-structural soil fill.
As a result, the site exhibits highly uneven grades and unstable subsurface conditions that present
risks to public safety and render the land infeasible for agricultural or conventional development
uses.
Geotechnical evaluations indicate that the existing soils lack the consistency and bearing
capacity required to support structures or improvements without extensive remediation.
Development of the Property requires substantial corrective measures, including:
• Rammed aggregate piers to stabilize bearing soils: $535,000
Appendix C Page 1 of 2
• Over-excavation and significant soil improvements: $200,000
• Comprehensive geotechnical investigation (completed): $38,000
2. Wetlands
The Property contains numerous wetlands dispersed throughout the site. The majority of these
wetlands were determined by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) to be
artificial in origin, non-federally exempt, and non-jurisdictional. However, one remaining
wetland is located in the northeast corner of the Property and must be preserved.
This wetland occupies approximately 7,300 square feet and significantly constrains site layout
and grading. In order to develop the Property while protecting the wetland, a substantial retaining
wall is required. The retaining wall is anticipated to be approximately 290 linear feet and three to
nine feet in height. The estimated cost of the required retaining wall is $100,000 and includes
required railing/fencing.
3. Environmental Considerations
The Property required extensive environmental due diligence due to historic dry-cleaning
operations previously conducted on or near the site. Given the known risks associated with such
uses, a detailed environmental investigation was necessary to evaluate potential contamination
concerns. The cost of the environmental investigation totaled $8,500.
4. Restricted Site Access
The Property is effectively landlocked. While it benefits from easement rights across an adjacent
shopping center parcel and is located near existing dedicated right-of-way, there is no existing
public road access capable of serving development.
To provide legal, safe, and functional access, the construction of approximately 306 linear feet of
new public roadway is required. The estimated cost of constructing this roadway is $198,300.
Conclusion
Taken together, the Property’s unstable geological conditions, extensive wetland constraints,
environmental history, and lack of public access create extraordinary development challenges
that substantially impair its use and unique costs totaling $1,081,800. These conditions are not
typical of vacant land and require extensive remediation, engineering, and public infrastructure
investment to overcome.

Date: April 3, 2026
To: City of Franklin Common Council
From: Economic Development Department, John Regetz, Director
RE: Staff Report: Tax Increment Number 10
District Description
Tax Incremental District Number 10 (“TID-10”) is a proposed Blighted Area District comprising of
approximately 30 acres located to the southeast of South 76th Street and West Rawson Avenue (Attachment
1, Poths_General_Site_Plan_with_TID_10). The TID-10 will be created to pay the cost of development
incentives and other ongoing administrative costs related to the redevelopment of the Orchard View
Shopping Center and adjoining parcels (“Project”). The City anticipates making total expenditures of
approximately $15.7 million, as detailed in the Project Plan and subject to the limitations and conditions
described therein (“Project Costs”), to undertake the projects listed in the Project Plan. Project Costs include
an estimated $15 million for development incentives and $705,000 for ongoing administrative expenses.
Included in the Developer’s construction budget are funds needed for: (a) the demolition of the dilapidated
shopping center, (b) the extension of necessary infrastructure, and (c) the preparation of the property for the
future commercial development described herein. More financial data is included in the Project Plan ,
including projected tax increment revenue generation of approximately $17.2 million for TID-10 (Franklin,
WI - TID 10 Project Plan 3.30.26, Pp 3, 20).
The initial development will consist of a 292-unit market-rate multifamily development and a 4,100 square
foot food and beverage retail building, to be constructed by Land by Label (“Developer”) , named Poths
General, honoring the legacy of the historic Poths General Store that previously stood on the site.
Additionally, the Developer plans to build a new Dollar Tree store within the district, to replace the existing
Dollar Tree building, which the Developer will demolish as part of the multifamily developme nt. The
existing Harry’s Ace Hardware will be preserved. There is also an opportunity for future commercial
development in TID-10. Developer has indicated that it has advanced discussions with a medical user and
coffee shop as part of the redevelopment. In addition to the incremental property value that will be created,
the City expects the Project to provide employment opportunities, increased income and sales tax collection,
development of housing, increased commercial activity, and other benefits to t he local economy resulting
from the purchase of goods and services related to the construction and operation of the Project. (Franklin,
WI - TID 10 Project Plan 3.30.26, Pg. 3)
Economic Benefits
The Project Plan and supporting analyses identify the following anticipated benefits of TID-10: It will clean
up a blighted, high-traffic area of the City, create new housing opportunities in a market segment identified
as in high demand based on regional development trends, and generate new commercial development
opportunities. The Developer will construct and maintain streets and collect refuse, in addition to providing
paying over $2 million in Impact Fees ( Attachment 2, 3.9.2026 Impact Fees ). The Project Plan projects
approximately $42 million in incremental value by the end of TID -10’s life in 2054, generating over
2
$600,000 annually in property tax revenues thereafter. These projections are based on assumptions detailed
in the Project Plan and supporting financial analyses and are subject to variation based on actual development
timing, valuation, and market conditions.
The development of Poths General will be conducted according to the c ommercial and multi-use
Development Agreements approved at the January 6, 2026, Common Council meeting. Within four years
from the date of the Development Agreements’ executions, $89.2 million development costs will have been
invested in the C ity, 292 residential units will have been built, and development of a minimum of 29,000
square feet of commercial space is to have begun. N ew residents will begin to frequent stores, restaurants ,
and other businesses in their neighborhood, many of which are within walking distance.
According to the latest Baker Tilly report , the region will have experienced a positive $93.4 million in
economic impact from construction costs invested in the C ity ( Attachment 3, Poths General Impact
Summary_3.27.26). If 40,000 square feet of commercial space is developed in TID-10 (including other
developers’ projects), then the TIF district could generate $22.6 million in increment and close in 20 years,
according to a projection from Ehlers Municipal Finance Consultants (Attachment 4, Franklin, WI - TID 10
Creation Sensitivity Analysis).
When TID-10 is fully developed, City utilities will garner new commercial and residential customers,
generating, conservatively, $125,000 in annual water and sanitary sewer revenues without any additional
investment (Attachment 5, City of Franklin Will Serve Letter).
Blight Determination
TID No. 10 meets the basis for the legal definition finding of blight. A “blighted area” means “an area”
that is “detrimental established pursuant to the public health, safety, morals or welfare.” Wis.
66.1105(ae)(1)(a). Blight determinations are a legislative decision, §§ 66.1105(2) and local governments
are given wide discretion 66.1333, and such determination will not be overturned supported by judicial
review unless the decision was “arbitrary, oppressive, or unreasonable.”
Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(2)(ae)1.b. “An area which is predominantly open and which consists primarily of
an abandoned highway corridor, as defined in s. 66.1333(2m)(a), …, or otherwise, that substantially
impairs or arrests the sound growth of the community.” (Attachment 6, T-10 BLIGHT REVIEW)
Wis. Stat. § 66.1333 (2m)(b)3.(bm) Blighted property “means any property within a city, whether
residential or nonresidential, which by reason of dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence,… or
any property which by reason of faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility or
usefulness,… deterioration of site or other improvements,… or any combination of such factors, …
retards the provisions of housing accommodations or constitutes an economic or social liability…, or
any property which is predominantly open and which because of obsolete platting, diversity of
ownership, deterioration of structures or of site improvements, or otherwise, substantially impairs or
arrests the sound growth of the community.” (Attachment 6, T-10 BLIGHT REVIEW)
The conditions identified below are consistent with statutory criteria, including but not limited to impairment
of sound growth, inadequate site conditions, and limitations on development due to physical and
environmental constraints.
3
Applicable case law is found in Voters with Facts v. City of Eau Claire, 681 N.W.2 nd 110. The Wisconsin
Legislature determined that a blighted area, as such area may be identified by local government, “constitutes
an economic and social liability, substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of cities, and
retards the provision of housing accommodations.” Wis. Stat. 66.1331 and Voters with Facts v. City of
Eau Claire, 681 N.W.2nd 110.
The right of the Council to determine Blight is upheld in Voters with Facts v. City of Eau Claire , 2018 WI
63, 382 Wis. 2d 1, 913 N.W.2d 131, in which the Court found for the City. Applicable citations are attached
in T-10 Blight Review, including 11¶ 33 … the plain language of the statute does not require that the local
legislative body—here, the City Common Council—itemize the evidence in the record that supports its
finding of blight.
Additionally:
¶ 35 This interpretation is reinforced by the surrounding blight- elimination statutes in chapter 66. … §
66.1105(4)(gm)4.a. Thus, the blight -elimination provisions in chapter 66 are all similar in that none of
them require a specified rationale or itemization of supporting evidence.
12¶ 37 The key language in each of these statutes is that the “area,” in its current state, “is detrimental
to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare.” “Public safety, public health, [and] morality ... are some
of the more conspicuous examples of the traditional application of the police power to municipal affairs,”
Berman v. Parker, 348 U.S. 26, 32, 75 S.Ct. 98, 99 L.Ed. 27 (1954), and a “municipality's exercise of its
police power has traditionally been accorded deference by reviewing courts. ” Nowell v. City of Wausau,
2013 WI 88, ¶ 46, 351 Wis. 2d 1, 838 N.W.2d 852. “It is to be remembered that we are dealing with one
of the most essential powers of government, one that is the least limitable.” Id.18
Voters with Facts v. City of Eau Claire, 2018 WI 63, ¶¶ 34-37, 382 Wis. 2d 1, 26–29, 913 N.W.2d 131, 143–
45
Obsolescence, deterioration , and impairment of the sound growth of a City are the rationale for Blight
Determination for the applicable properties in TID -10. The obsolescence of the Orchard View Mall is
supported by facts, with over 50% vacancies since 2022, failing infrastructure (plumbing, ammonia cooling
systems, and transformers ), and deteriorating site conditions. T he following documented conditions
collectively result in significant development constraints and increased costs, which impair the site’s market
feasibility without public assistance: “The Planning Department had received multiple complaints about
potholes and deterioration of the shopping center parking lot. Assistant City Engineer Kaitly n Witkowiak
and I visited the parking lot on July 3, 2025 (photos attached) and notified the property owner. The property
owner acted promptly and patched potholes (photos attached) . Complaints were closed on July 14, 2025.”
(Attachment 7, 7-3-25 Plng Dept Pothole Invstgn) Regulo Martinez-Montilva, Planning Manager, Dept. of
Development.
“Orchard View Shopping Center, located at 7154 S. 76th Street, is a mostly vacant, deteriorated shopping
center characterized by aging, dilapidated buildings with failing roofs, outdated mechanical systems,
inadequate lighting and ventilation, and neglected site improvements that pose fire and safety hazards. The
building has been repeatedly graffiti-ed, and several long-vacant spaces have been used over the years for
miscellaneous storage, requiring substantial clean- out before they can be safely accessed or reused. The
parking lot is severely deteriorated with extensive potholes, crumbling pavement, and non-functioning
parking lot lights, creating unsafe conditions and contributing to crime and vandalism. Many utility services
4
to the buildings have been disconnected, rendering the spaces unusable for prospective tenants even when
tenant interest exists. These combined factors create conditions detrimental to public health, safety, and
welfare and substantially impair the sound growth of the surrounding community.” (Pg. 1, Orchard View
Shopping Center Blight Designation 12.11.2025)
Deterioration and impairment of the sound growth of a city are the rationale for a Blight Designation of the
vacant land east of the Orchard View Mall . The site has not been used for agriculture since 1990. Two
geotechnical studies were conducted on the vacant property and warned of development hazards, due to
extensive, unpermitted, and unspecified fill on the site (Attachment 8, Poths General - Geotechnical Report
– FINAL, Pp. 6-7 [10/31/25]; Attachment 9, Poths General Geotechnical Report PSI, Pg. 6). The report went
on to cite additional and costly mitigation construction measures. The Developer conducted a Phase 1
Environmental Assessment ( EA), which documented the site’s filling activity, garbage dumping, and
suspected PCB and PCE contamination (Attachment 10, Phase I ESA Report - 7154 S. 76th Street - Final -
2-25-2026, Pp., 9, 11, 60, 1310). A Phase 2 EA was conducted due to concerns at the Mall for PCB and PCE
contamination, which confirmed that contamination levels were below enforcement thresholds and do not
require remediation in groundwater and soil (Attachment 11, Endpoint Phase II EA Report - 76th & Rawson
- Final - Land By Label, P p 4-5). Protection of wetlands in the northeast corner of the P roject requires a
$100,000 stormwater retaining wall ( Attachment 12, Poth's - CoF Natural Resource Protection Plan ,
Attachment 13, Storm Pond Retaining Wall Poths General Civil Plans , Franklin, WI - TID 10 Project Plan
3.30.26 - Appendix C, Pg. 2).
Access to the vacant parcels is constrained, including a lack of common ownership and direct access to
Rawson Avenue, which limits development feasibility without infrastructure improvements.
The City made a similar finding of blight in connection with vacant land that became TID No. 7 to facilitate
Velo Village Apartments. See Ehlers Project Plan dated May 17, 2019 ( Attachment 14,
TIDNo7_Project_Plan_FINAL_6-18-2019, Pg 7). In that case, the land that became Velo Village
Apartments was almost entirely vacant, except for a small, dilapidated barn.
Police, Fire, and School Services Demands
Proposed TID -10 lies within established Fire, Police , and Public-School service areas. Franklin Public
Schools forecasts that approximately 14.6 new students will be added to the district, and that plenty of
capacity for such students exists in all applicable schools ( Attachment 1 5, Franklin Public School
Capacity.pdf).
“The Fire Department has reviewed the proposed development and provided the following assessment:
• The project will not require the addition of any specific equipment or fire apparatus.
• The fire department impact fees generated by the proposed project cannot be used for additional
firefighter/paramedics or vehicles. However, they may be used for fire stations and fire department
facilities. This development is in Fire Station 1’s first-response area, where our building requires repairs
and additional space.
• Historically, residential properties , including single -family, condominiums, senior living and
apartments are the highest utilizers of emergency medical and fire department services. When Poth’s
General project was originally proposed, it was suggested that the fire department compare the response
activity generated by the 5-building Velo Village apartment complex located on S. Ballpark Drive as a
5
projection of the demands Poth’s General project will likely impose on the fire department. Since 2023,
the Velo Village complex has generated between 12 and 30 calls per year for fire and emergency medical
services.” Chief James Mayer, Franklin, Fire Dept. (Fire Department Comments Orchard View Blighted
Area 03.30.26)
The Fire Department further confirms that no additional apparatus or specialized equipment is required to
serve the development.
The Police Department does not anticipate a significant increase in service demand associated with the TID-
10 P roject. This is the advantage of an infill/redevelopment project : it utilizes existing infrastructure to
complete development in an area and will have Departmental services already existing for the area.
TID-10 Project Assistance
The City has approved a Development Agreement that establishes -a pay-as-you-go (“PAYGO”) developer
incentive for the Developer, capped at $15 million. The tax increment (new assessed valuation) created by
Developer’s new projects alone generates the new tax revenues that fund the PAYGO incentive. The terms
include annual PAYGO payments equal to 90% of the tax increment generated by the multi-use (residential
with 4,100 square feet commercial) portion of the Project. Payments to the Developer are payable solely
from and limited to the tax incr ement generated, subject to annual appropriation. A Municipal Revenue
Obligation (MRO) dedicates these increased tax revenues from the development projects to the PAYGO
incentive. Accordingly, the City is not obligated to make payments to the Developer except for the tax
increment generated within the district.
If the Project achieves a financial return above 17% IRR or 3.00x investor return multiple, the City would
be entitled to 25% of excess proceeds, not to exceed $2.5 million. The Developer must secure financing and
investors, along with their own equity, to fund the project. The Developer builds the infrastructure and pays
Impact Fees, except for a partial credit for building a traffic light on South 76th Street. The Developer pays
the taxes that fund the PAYGO incentive. S.B. Friedman’s Underwriting Analysis states that “ this Project
would not occur, as presented, but-for the financial assistance requested by the Developer.” (Franklin, WI -
TID 10 Project Plan 3.30.26 - Appendix A, pg. 4).
TID-10 is projected to accumulate sufficient funds by the year 2054 to pay off all Project cost liabilities and
obligations (Franklin, WI - TID 10 Project Plan 3.30.26 P g. 22). The projected closure is based on the
various assumptions noted in this Plan and will vary depending on actual Project Costs incurred and the
actual amount of tax increments collected. In particular, the Plan considers only the tax increment generated
by the residential development. The City expects commercial development and redevelopment to occur
within the TID-10. Potential incremental value increases from commercial development are not included in
the Project Plan as there are no currently proposed projects, but have been estimated in the attached Franklin,
WI - TID 10 Creation Sensitivity Analysis, to examine the potential TID-10 life upon full development. That
Sensitivity Analysis shows that TID 10 could be closed in roughly 20 years, 7 years sooner than the “base
case” financial modeling.
Market Conditions
Recent development patterns and market analyses indicate that the current economic climate in S outheast
Wisconsin requires incentives for multi -use projects , including commercial and housing, and even for
6
housing alone. Apartments are the most pursued developments in contemporary markets, in large part
because of the broader positive impact on surrounding commercial uses. A review of recent TIF projects
reveals the demand for apartment housing and investment. These examples are provided for illustrative
purposes to demonstrate broader regional development trends and are not relied upon as determinative of
this Project’s feasibility.
• Mayfair Mall, Wauwatosa: 900 apartments; $57.9 million TIF incentive; $50 million developer
investment.
• Southridge Mall, Greendale, : 675 apartments, 20; 50,000 square feet of new retail space at Southridge’s
Boston Store site; $10.3 million TIF; $16.7 million financing for the first phase.
• The Corners of Brookfield: 40,000 square feet of retail; 278 luxury apartments .
• Regency Mall, Racine: 280 apartments & 230,000 square feet remain as an enclosed mall; $39.6 million
TIF.
• Drexel Town Square, Oak Creek : 399 apartments; $8.4 million grant ; $6.5 million loan; $85 million
developer ($100 million total).).
New apartments will become vacant in the future only if the community’s population decreases or the
property is neglected . Construction costs in the single-family home market will stave off changes in this
market dynamic in the foreseeable future.
Recent development trends indicate that mixed -use projects incorporating residential components are
commonly utilized to support commercial viability and reduce development risk. Investors also desire to
develop a customer base that coincides with the commercial properties to be developed. Older commercial
retail and service centers are failing in the current market, and investors want to mitigate the risk of building
them by developing them alongside apartment projects.
Clarification Regarding Record
The materials supporting this Project, including engineering, environmental, financial, and legal analyses,
have been provided to the Common Council over a multi-year period. The issues summarized in this report
reflect topics previously reviewed and documented within the project record. At this stage, the matter before
the Council is whether to evaluate and act upon the established record.
Conclusion
Based on the information summarized above and the supporting documentation contained within the project
record, the staff ha ve provided the analysis necessary for informed consideration of the proposed Tax
Incremental District No. 10.
The Project Plan, supporting studies, and departmental reviews collectively address the statutory
requirements, site conditions, financial structure, and anticipated impacts associated with the proposed
district.
Accordingly, the matter before the Common Council is to evaluate the established record and determine
whether to proceed with approval of TID-10 based on the information provided.

IMPLAN Methodology
The economic impact of the Project is calculated for the (1 ) construction activity, and (2) the operation of the Project.
Baker Tilly applied IMPLAN (a computer-based economic input-output model) to estimate the total direct1, indirect and induced
economic impacts of the Project. This includes job creation, economic output and household earnings (orcompensations to employees),
and federal, state and local taxes. The direct economic activity ripples through the local and state economies supporting additional
economic impacts in the form of indirect and induced effects including jobs, output and household income.
The tables throughout the analysis show the economic impacts of the individual aspects of the Project. The impacts are considered
“Direct, Indirect or Induced" and will be presented for "Employment, Labor Income, Value Added, and Output", which are defined as such:
Direct effects from initial spending creates additional activity in the local economy.
Indirect effects are the results of business-to-business transactions indirectly caused by the direct effects.
Induced effects are the results of increased personal income caused by the direct and indirect effects.
Employment consists of a count of jobs that include both full-time and part-time workers.
Labor Income consists of wages and salaries, employer-provided benefits, and proprietors' income.
Value Added represents the difference between the value of goods and the cost of materials or supplies that are used in producing
them. Value added is defined as the gross receipts of a firm minus the cost of goods and services purchases from other firms. Value
added includes wages, salaries, interest, depreciation, rent, taxes and profit.
Output can be thought of as the value of goods and services sold in the economy or revenues for businesses in the economy.
Tax Impact
Tax Impact results are based on the collected and reported taxes within the region for the given data year. Taxes are also levied at
different levels of government. In IMPLAN, the results are given at the following levels: State + Local, Federal, County, Sub County
General, Sub County Special Districts, and State. Sub County General includes city and township governments. Sub County Special
includes fire and public-school districts.
Taxes are industry and geographically specific. However, the breakout by tax category (i.e. sales tax, income tax, etc.) is not industry
specific, due to raw data limitations. Also, there is no way within IMPLAN to know the breakout of the components of each subset of tax
(i.e. Sales Tax) into additional detail; the raw data does not have this level of detail.
' The defInition of "direct jobs" through IMPLAN used in this report should not be confused with the concept of "direct job" creation measurable by Forms 1-9, payroll records
or other similar documentation. When economists use the tenn "direct" jobs in the context of an econometric methodology such as IMPLAN, what is meant are.jobs created
directly by either expenditures or revenues. For example. if a building is constructed or renovated, the employees of the various unaffIliated tenants of that building would be
considered “direct" jobs in the context of an econometric report. The tenants' employees are not "direct" employees of the project developer or LLC.

T10 BLIGHT REVIEW
Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(2) Definitions ***
(ae)1. “Blighted area” means any of the following:
a. An area, including a slum area, in which the structures, buildings or improvements, which by
reason of dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation,
light, air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence
of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of these
factors is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, or
crime, and is detrimental to the public health, safety, morals or welfare.
b. An area which is predominantly open and which consists primarily of an abandoned highway
corridor, as defined in s. 66.1333(2m)(a), or that consists of land upon which buildings or structures
have been demolished and which because of obsolete platting, diversity of ownership,
deterioration of structures or of site improvements, or otherwise, substantially impairs or arrests
the sound growth of the community.
2. “Blighted area” does not include predominantly open land area that has been developed only for
agricultural purposes.
Vot
ers with Facts v. City of Eau Claire, 2018 WI 63, 382 Wis. 2d 1, 913 N.W.2d 131:
On review, we consider two issues. First, we consider whether dismissal of Plaintiffs' declaratory
judgment claims was proper. We conclude that it was, because Plaintiffs have failed to state claims
upon which relief can be granted: the first and second counts fail because the City Common
Council's findings of blight and the JRB's “but for” assertions are legislative
determinations that do not present justiciable issues of fact or law;
Voters with Facts v. City of Eau Claire, 2018 WI 63, ¶ 4, 382 Wis. 2d 1, 10, 913 N.W.2d 131, 136
¶ 32
“[S]tatutory interpretation begins with the language of the statute. ” State ex rel. Kalal v. Circuit
Court for Dane Cty., 2004 WI 58, ¶ 45, 271 Wis. 2d 633, 681 N.W.2d 110. Here, the statute states, in
relevant part, as follows:
In order to implement the provisions of this section, the following steps and plans are required: ...
Adoption by the local legislative body of a resolution which ... [c]ontains findings that ... [n]ot less
than 50%, by area, of the real property within the district is at least one of the following: a blighted
area....
Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(4)(gm)4.a. “All words and phrases shall be construed according to common
and approved usage; but technical words and phrases and others that have a peculiar meaning in
ATTACHMENT 6
the law shall be construed according to such meaning. ” Wis. Stat. § 990.01(1); see also Kalal, 271
Wis. 2d 633, ¶ 45, 681 N.W.2d 110; Antonin Scalia & Bryan A. Garner, Reading Law: The
Interpretation of Legal Texts 69-77 (2012) (“Ordinary-Meaning Canon”).
11¶ 33 “Findings” is not a defined term in the statute. The word “findings” is also not defined in
Black's Law Dictionary, which instead refers the reader to the following entry for “finding of fact”: “A
determination by a judge, jury, or administrative agency of a fact supported by the evidence in the
record.... ” Finding of fact, Black's Law Dictionary *26 749 (10th ed. 2014). Given this ordinary
meaning of “findings” , the plain language of the statute does not require that the local legislative
body—here, the City Common Council—itemize the evidence in the record that supports its
finding of blight.
Voters with Facts v. City of Eau Claire, 2018 WI 63, ¶¶ 32-33, 382 Wis. 2d 1, 25–26, 913 N.W.2d 131,
143
¶ 34 This plain language interpretation is supported by the context of surrounding and closely-
related statutes. See Kalal, 271 Wis. 2d 633, ¶ 46, 681 N.W.2d 110 (“[S]tatutory language is
interpreted in the context **144 in which it is used; ... in relation to the language of surrounding or
closely-related statutes. ”). In a closely-related statute, the legislature has demonstrated that it
is fully capable of specifying when findings of blight must be explained by itemized
evidence. See Wis. Stat. § 32.03(6)(c)4. Chapter 32 governs the acquisition of condemned
property vis-à-vis eminent domain, including municipal acquisition of blighted properties under
chapter 66. See, e.g., Wis. Stat. § 66.1331(4)(a)3., (4)(b); Wis. Stat. § 66.1333(5)(a)3., (5)(b)1.
Section 32.03(6) limits this method of acquiring blighted properties by requiring that “the
condemnor shall make written findings and provide a copy of the findings to the owner of the
property. The findings shall include ... [a] finding that the owner's property is blighted and the
reasons for that finding. ” § 32.03(6)(c)4. (emphasis added). Thus, the legislature is fully capable
of specifying when the reasons underlying a finding of blight must be given, and we should not
read into Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(4)(gm)4.a. such a requirement where it is not specified. See
Scalia & Garner, supra ¶32 at 93 (“Nothing is to be added to what the text states or reasonably
implies. ”).
¶ 35 This interpretation is reinforced by the surrounding blight-elimination statutes in chapter
66. For example, Wis. Stat. § 66.1331, commonly known as *27 the “Blighted Area Law, ” requires
only “the adoption of a resolution by the local legislative body declaring the area to be a
blighted area in need of redevelopment. ” § 66.1331(5)(b)1. Similarly, Wis. Stat. § 66.1333,
commonly known as the “Blight Elimination and Slum Clearance Act, ” requires only “the
adoption by the local legislative body of a resolution declaring in substance that there exists
within the city a need for blight elimination, slum clearance and urban renewal programs and
projects. ” § 66.1333(3)(a)2.17 Here, Wis. Stat. § 66.1105, commonly known as the “Tax Increment
L a w,” requires only the “[a]doption by the local legislative body of a resolution which ...
[c]ontains findings that ... [n]ot less than 50%, by area, of the real property within the district is
... a blighted area. ” § 66.1105(4)(gm)4.a. Thus, the blight-elimination provisions in chapter 66
are all similar in that none of them require a specified rationale or itemization of supporting
evidence.
¶ 36 Moreover, and perhaps more importantly, this interpretation is reasonable because findings of
blight are legislative determinations that “do[ ] not raise justiciable issues of fact or law. ” *28 Joint
Sch. Dist. No. 1 v. State Appeal Bd., 56 Wis. 2d 790, 794, 203 N.W.2d 1 (1973). In Wis. Stat. §
66.1105, “blighted area” means:
An area, including a slum area, in which the structures, buildings or improvements, which by
reason of dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation,
light, air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence
of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of **145
these factors is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile
delinquency, or crime, and is detrimental to the public health, safety, morals or welfare.
§ 66.1105(2)(ae)1.a. And this is substantially similar to the definition of “blighted area” in all of the
blight-elimination statutes:
“Blighted area” means any area, including a slum area, in which a majority of the structures are
residential or in which there is a predominance of buildings or improvements, whether residential
or nonresidential, and which, by reason of dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence,
inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population
and overcrowding, or the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other
causes, or any combination of these factors, is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease,
infant mortality, juvenile delinquency and crime, and is detrimental to the public health, safely,
morals or welfare.
Wis. Stat. § 66.1331(3)(a).
“Blighted area” means ... [a]n area, including a slum area, in which there is a predominance of
buildings or improvements, whether residential or nonresidential, which by reason of dilapidation,
deterioration, *29 age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or
open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence of conditions which
endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such factors is conducive
to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, or crime, and is
detrimental to the public health, safety, morals or welfare.
Wis. Stat. § 66.1333(2m)(b)1.
12¶ 37 The key language in each of these statutes is that the “area, ” in its current state, “is
detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare. ” “Public safety, public health,
[and] morality ... are some of the more conspicuous examples of the traditional application of
the police power to municipal affairs, ” Berman v. Parker, 348 U.S. 26, 32, 75 S.Ct. 98, 99 L.Ed. 27
(1954), and a “municipality's exercise of its police power has traditionally been accorded
deference by reviewing courts.” Nowell v. City of Wausau, 2013 WI 88, ¶ 46, 351 Wis. 2d 1, 838

Blighted Area:
The District will be designated as a blighted area. Under the definition of
blighted area found at Wi s. Stat. § 66.1105(2)(ae), qualifying criteria includes:
“An area, including a slum area, in which the structur es, buildings or
improvements, which by reason of dilapidation, deterioration, age or
obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or open
spaces, high density of population an d overcrowding, or the existence of
conditions which enda nger life or property by fire and other causes, or any
combination of these factors is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease,
infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, or crime, and is detrimental to the public
health, safety, morals or welfare”; or “An area which is predominantly open and
which consists primarily of an abandoned highway co rridor, as defined in §
66.1333(2m)(a), or that consists of land upon which buildings or structures have
been demolished and which because of obsolete platti ng, diversity of
ownership, deterioration of structures or of site i mprovements, or otherwise,
substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the community.”
Specific blighting conditions include the following parcels:
x The Orchard View Shopping Center, sp ecifically the Poth ’s General Site
(see Map Reference #1).
x 13 acres of vacant land, east of the shopping center (Map Reference #6 &
#7).
A total of 24.40 acres, or 81% of the District area, is blighted, meeting the
requirement that at least 50% of the area be blighted.

(1) Short title. This section shall be known and may be cited as the “Blight Elimination and
Slum Clearance Act” .
(2) Findings. In addition to the findings and declarations made in ss. 66.1331
(2) and 66.1337, it is found and declared that the existence of substandard, deteriorated,
slum and blighted areas and blighted properties is a matter of statewide concern. It is the
policy of this state to protect and promote the health, safety, morals and general welfare of
the people of the state in which these areas and blighted properties exist by the elimination
and prevention of these areas and blighted properties through the utilization of all means
appropriate for that purpose, thereby encouraging well-planned, integrated, stable, safe
and healthful neighborhoods, the provision of healthful homes, a decent living
environment and adequate places for employment of the people of this state and its
communities in these areas and blighted properties. The purposes of this section are to
provide for the elimination and prevention of substandard, deteriorated, slum and blighted
areas and blighted properties through redevelopment and other activities by state-created
agencies and the utilization of all other available public and private agencies and
resources. State agencies are necessary in order to carry out in the most effective and
efficient manner the state’s policy and declared purposes for the prevention and
elimination of substandard, deteriorated, slum and blighted areas and blighted properties.
State agencies shall be available in all the cities in the state to be known as the
redevelopment authorities of the particular cities and carry out and effectuate the
provisions of this section when the local legislative bodies of the cities determine there is a
need for them to carry out within their cities the powers and purposes of this section.
Assistance which may be given by cities or any other public bodies under this section is a
public use and purpose for which public money may be expended. The necessity in the
public interest for the provisions of this section is declared a matter of legislative
determination. Nothing in this subsection contravenes, repeals or rescinds the finding or

Note: All depths are in feet from the ground surface and elevations are in feet.
Fluctuations in the groundwater table elevation should be expected with variations in
precipitation, evapotranspiration, surface runoff, etc. Also, shallow perched groundwater
conditions should be expected where relatively permeable coarse-grained soils are underlain
by relatively impermeable fine-grained soils, especially following precipitation events.
Analysis and Recommendations
There are twelve primary issues that should be considered when planning this project.
x Undocumented fills (absence of placement and compaction testing
documentation) exist on the property. Typically, undocumented fills are a concern
for structural support because they could have been placed inconsistently and not
sufficiently compacted, potentially causing excessive total and/or differential
settlements for structural elements (foundations, floor slabs, pavements, and
utilities).
x The bearing soils at the estimated footing elevations will be variable, including
native soils (clay, silt, and sand), undocumented fills, and engineered (compacted)
fills that will exhibit variable strengths. Variable soils can produce differential
settlements if not considered in the structural design.
x Buried topsoil/organic soils ex ist within the fills that ar e not suitable for structural
support.
x The use of conventional, shallow foundat ion systems would come with elevated
settlement risks, unless utilized with some method of soil improvement.
x Construction and the long-term performance of the pool is a concern due to the fill
and water conditions.
x Fine-grained (clay and silt) soils exist that are sensitive to construction activity, and
actions to stabilize the subgrade during construction should be planned.
x Clean sand (small quantities of fines) soils exist that will pose c onstruction
challenges for excavations.
x Shallow soils exhibiting high moisture content exist that will cause construction
challenges.
x Shallow perched water and groundwater exists that will im pact grading and
excavating activities.
x Because the project area has a development history, care should be taken to
identify any existing buried structural elements and utilities that may impact new

elements. The removal of structural elements can also cause ground disturbance
that will require restoration.
x Soils that are not conducive to infiltration exist in the proposed stormwater
management areas, and the site should be exempt from infiltration regulations.
Foundation Support
Foundation design typically consists of se lecting a bearing capacity that will manage
settlements. Based on the geologic conditions present on this property, the foundation
systems should be designed using an allowable bearing capacity that will limit the
maximum total and differential settlements to 1 inch and ¾ inch, respectively.
Undocumented fills and buried organic soils exist on the property. Although the
majority of the fills exhibited suitable strength characteristics, their variability
suggests that conventional foundation systems would be subjected to elevated
risks of excessive settlements where t hey remain below foundation elements.
The cross-sections in Appendix B illustrate the soil profiles in the building areas. The
anticipated bearing soils for the buildings are summarized below:
x Three-Story Apartment Building – Partial native soils and up to 8 feet (4.3-foot
average) of undocumented fill beneath conventional footings.
x Commercial Buildings – Partial native soils and up to 10 feet (5.6-foot average) of
undocumented fill of beneath conventional footings.
x Apartment Buildings (B, C, D, & F) – Up to 29 feet (12.8-foot average) of
undocumented fill beneath conventional footings.
x Apartment Buildings (E, G, H, & I) – Partial native soils and up to 11 feet (3.9-foot
average) of undocumented fill beneath conventional footings.
Given the variable depths of the undocumented fills, the design team could utilize different
foundation plans for different building areas.
If the owner accepts the risks associated with supporting a building on a conventional,
shallow foundation system, a conservative allowable bearing capacity should be used by
the structural engineer to design the footings to minimize differential settlements. The
foundation for a building in this case should be designed using an allowable bearing
capacity of 2,000 psf. Even with this conservative value, it is not possible to estimate the
total and differential settlements. An extensive field-testing program should be
implemented during construction to evaluate the bearing soils.
If the owner would not accept the potential settlement risks for a building, then the
undocumented fills and organic soils could be: 1) removed and replaced, 2) improved in-
place (e.g., rammed aggregate piers/vibratory stone columns), or 3) an alternative
foundation system (e.g., helical piers) utiliz ed. Deep foundation elements are not

monitoring well readings are recommended and can be made when requested.
CONSIDERATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General Development Considerations
In view of the subsurface conditions encountered in the test borings, together with the structural
loading criteria and development grades anticipated, conventional spread footings, along with
conventional slab-on-grade construction, can be used for support of the proposed structures.
However, fill (including topsoil fill) and possible fill were present in B-2 through B-6, B-9, B-10,
SW-1 and SW-3 to depths ranging from about 3 to 27 feet (EL. 760 to EL. 723), with 3 to 8 feet
(EL. 760 to EL. 751) being more ty pical (B-2, B-3, B-4, B-9, B- 10, and SW-2). The deeper fill
was encountered at B-5, B-6, and SW-3 in the vacant, northeastern portion of the site. The fill
and possible fill are not suitable for support and all footings must therefore be extended to bear
upon underlying natural soils. Preli minarily, it is estimated that typical undercuts of about 5 to
10 feet or so may be necessary for frost depth footings (with deeper overexcavations necessary
for interior footings) in most areas. Substantiall y deeper undercuts in excess of 30 feet would
likely be necessary for structures in the northeast portion of the site (B-5, B-6, and SW-3).
However, some variation is likely and will be dependent upon final surface and slab elevations.
It should be noted that substantia l difficulty with excavation st ability and sidewall caving, and
with groundwater will likely be experienced in deeper excavations (including deeper undercuts),
especially in the area of B-5, B-6, and SW-3. It is recommended that if feasible, structures not
be located in this area of the site. If it is elect ed to place structures in this area, the use of an
intermediate or deep foundation system will likely be required.

which the transformer sits is stained with transformer oil. The staining is also observed
extending off the west side of the concrete pad. Based on the age of the transformer and the
lack of any markings indicating the transformer contains PCB-free oil, the potential exists for
the release to the environment of PCB-containing oils from transformer 87-U-4998.

Groundwater VOCs
x GP-1: Toluene and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene were detected at estimated concentrations
above standard laboratory detection limits in the GP-1 groundwater sample. However,
neither of the concentrations exceeded their respective preventive action limit (PAL) or
enforcement standard (ES).
x GP-2: No VOC constituents were detected above standard laboratory detection limits in the
GP-2 groundwater sample.
x GP-3: Tetrachloroethene (PCE) was dete cted in the GP-3 groundwater sample at an
estimated concentration of 0.99 micrograms per liter (μg/L). The concentration of PCE is
reported as an estimate and identified with a “J” qualifier on the laboratory report due to
the result being between the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ). The
concentration of PCE was detected above its PAL, but below its ES. No other VOC
constituents were detected above standard laboratory detection limits in the GP-3
groundwater sample.
The groundwater VOC results are summarized in Table A.1.a – Groundwater Analytical
Results-VOCs.
Vapor VOCs
x Numerous VOC constituents were detected above standard laboratory detection limits from
the sub-slab vapor sample collected in the 7174-tenant space. However, all of the
concentrations were detected below their respective regional screening levels (RSLs) for
residential, small commercial and large commercial/industrial buildings.
The vapor VOC results are summarized in Table A.4 – Sub-Slab Vapor Analytical Results-
VOCs.
Copies of the laboratory analytical reports and the chains-of-custody are included in Appendix B.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the analytical results from the soil samples collected adjacent to the pad-mounted
transformer 87-U-4998, none of the samples contained contaminant concentrations that exceeded
an RCL. Therefore, it is our opinion that no further assessment of the subsurface conditions
adjacent to the pad-mounted transformer is necessary. However, we recommend WE Energies, the
owner of the transformer, be contacted to arrange for repair or replacement.
Based on the results of the Phase II EA performed on the subject property, it appears low-level PCE
contamination is present in groundwater adjacent to the 7190-tenant space, related to the
historical dry-cleaning operations performed within this portion of the subject property building. It
is important to note that the concentration of PCE detected was an estimated concentration slightly
above its PAL, but below its respective ES. Additionally, none of the soil samples collected from the

CONCLUSIONS
Based on the analytical results from the soil samples collected adjacent to the pad-mounted
transformer 87-U-4998, none of the samples contained contaminant concentrations that exceeded
an RCL. Therefore, it is our opinion that no further assessment of the subsurface condition s
adjacent to the pad-mounted transformer is necessary. However, we recommend WE Ener gies, the
owner of the transformer, be contacted to arrange for repair or replacement.
Based on the results of the Phase II EA performed on the subject property, it appears low-level PCE
contamination is present in groundwater adjacent to the 7190-tenant space, related to th e
historical dry-cleaning operations performed within this portion of the subject property building.I t
is important to note that the concentration of PCE detected was an estimated concentration sli ghtly
above its PAL, but below its respective ES. Additionally, none of the soil samples collected from the
GP-3 soil boring contained detectable concentrations of PCE. It is also important to note that the

GP-3 groundwater sample was collected from a temporary groundwater monitoring well without a
sand filter pack, which may bias the results. It is our opinion that the PCE concentration in
groundwater adjacent to the 7190-tenant space is negligible and additional assessment is not
recommended at this time. However, as PCE is a common dry-cleaning solvent, we recommend
additional soil, groundwater and soil vapor assessment activities be performed within the 7190-
tenant space once vacated.
LIMITATIONS
This report was prepared under the constraint of cost, time and scope-of-work and reflects an
assessment and evaluation that is based on data collected from potential RECs at the time of the
evaluation. Our assessment was performed using t he degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised,
under similar circumstances, by professional consultants practicing in this or similar localities. No
other warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, is made as the conclusions and professional
advice included in this report.
As u b s u r f a c ee x p l o r a t i o nw a sp e r f o r m e da n di spresented in this report. However, subsurface
exploration cannot totally reveal what is below the surface. Depending upon the sampling method
and frequency, every soil condition may not be observed, and some materials or layers, which are
present in the subsurface may not be noted.
The findings of this report are valid as of the present date of the assessment. However, changes in
the conditions of a property can occur with the passage of time, whether due to natural processes

appropriate standards may occur, whether they result from legislation, from the broadening of
knowledge, or from other reasons. Accordingly, the findings of this report may be invalid wholly or
partially by changes outside our control.

Project Plan TID No. 7 Creation City of Franklin
Submitted by Ehlers Page 7 May 17, 2019
SECTION 2:
Type and General Description of District
The District is being created by the City under
the authority provided by Wisconsin Statute Section
66.1105. The Dis trict is created as a “Blighted Area District” based upon a finding by the City in
consultation with its Attorney and Special Legal Counsel that at least 50%, by area , of the real property
within the District is blighted. In Section 5 of this Pl an, the City has identified those properties within the
District that meet the criteria of “blighted areas” as defined in Wisconsin Statutes Section 66.1105(2)(ae)1
and relies on these characterizations as the basis for making the above finding.
A map depicting the boundaries of the District is fo und in Section 3 of this Plan. A map depicting the
proposed uses of the District is found in Section 8 of this plan. The City intends that TIF will be used to
assure that private development occurs with in the District consistent with the City ’s development and
redevelopment objectives. This will be accomplishe d by installing public improvements and making
necessary related expenditures to promote developmen t and redevelopment within the District. The goal
is to increase the tax base and to provide for and pr eserve employment opportunities within the City. The
project costs included in this Plan relate directly to the elimination of blight and are consistent with the
purpose for which the District is created.
Based upon the findings, as stated w ithin this Plan, the District is declar ed to be a blighted area District
based on the identification and classification of the property included within the district.

boundaries.
