Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency
Workshop on Proposed Master Development Agreement with the Auburn Group
November 17, 2008
Analysis of MDA as Revised by Auburn Post October CRA Board Meeting
1. Term of Aareement. Originally, Auburn requested a 20-year project term and
staff recommended a 10-year term. Auburn has reduced the project term to 12
years. Given the volatile nature of the credit markets and reductions in City/CRA
revenue; should the City/CRA enter into a long term development agreement?
Board Direction from October 14.2008 Meetina
No Board direction was provided on the12 year term proposed by Auburn.
Revised MDA
The revised MDA states the term of the Agreement is for 12 years.
2. Subsidv Amount Reauested bv Auburn. The draft agreement has subsidy
amounts totaling approximately $23M but this projection is not tied to actual
project costs and cannot be verified. City's/CRA's subsidize projects in an
amount needed to make the project financially feasible including a reasonable
rate of return to the developer. Financial verification of project costs is typically
conducted by a third party. Should the CRA seek third party review of the project
development proforma to verify the CRA subsidy is funding the project financial
gap?
Board Direction from October 14. 2008 Meetina
The Board directed staff to analyze the estimated TIF to be generated from the
proposed development and the required public subsidy needed based upon the
updated pro formas to be provided by Auburn.
Staff Analvsis of Pro Formas and Revised MDA
Based on the most recently submitted pro formas from Auburn, the proposed four
pbases of development will result in new annual T1F to the eRA in the following
amounts*:
Phase I/Senior Affordable Rental
Phase IIITH's, Condos, SF/For Sale
Phase III/Grocery Store/4,500 sq. ft.
Phase IV/Market Rate Condos/RetaillTH's
TOTAL ESTIMATED TIF FROM PROJECT
$ 37,226
$ 616,644
$ 0
$ 826.748

scenarios posed by Auburn
**Based on Market Assessed Valuation per PBCPA
3. Auburn's Reauest for a 163 Aareement. Based on the future revenue volatility
for the City/CRA is it fiscally responsible to enter into an agreement that binds the
Agency's for a long term financial commitment of twelve years?
Board Direction from October 14. 2008 Meetina
Per the minutes, there was no Board consensus or policy direction.
Revised MDA
/\uburn requests that the CH/\ ell j(J I\'U!JUl(i ",ille! Ill'jl !lU ; ;'.\ I i'-;lv,:'luPlil81 oJ

i8nd use designation
4. Number of Phases. Auburn is requesting that the Agreement cover all four
phases of the proposed development plan. Again, given the uncertainty in the
revenue stream, should the City/CRA commit funds beyond the first Phase?
Board Direction from October 14.2008 Meetina
Per the minutes, there was no Board consensus or policy direction
Revised MDA
The revised MDA still envisions 8 tour-phase project.
5. Reauest for Public Subsidy for Market Rate DeveloDment. Auburn is
requesting the CRA advance Auburn $11 M to construct a private parking garage
for the market-rate condominiums to be built at Federal Highway. The public
purpose of the CRA's $11 M advance is unclear. Should Auburn be required to
provide a more concrete public benefit in exchange for CRA funds?
Board Direction from October 14. 2008 MeetinQ
The Board directed staff to obtain an opinion from CRA bond counsel eRA staff
put the question to Mark Raymond, CRA bond counsel And it is his
:2
recommendation the question should go through a validation process. This is a
process whereby a judge would determine the appropriateness of using public
dollars for a private parking garage. CRA Attorney Cherof agreed with Mr.
Raymond's recommendation.
Revised MDA
Auburn has added an affordability component (20% of units) to Phase IV to
comply with the City's Workforce Housing Ordinance.
6. Reauest for Funding for Public ImDrovements. Auburn is requesting funds to
construct a streetscape along MLK. Should the CRA be committed to an
undetermined financial obligation without having an approved design or a project
budget? Should these public improvements be constructed by the City/CRA
under a competitive bidding process rather than having Auburn construct them?
Board Direction from October 14.2008 Meetina
Direction from the Vice Chair was the City would be responsible for designing
and constructing the streetscape improvements and the CRA would pay for those
costs. However, there was no Board consensus or policy direction on this
recommendation.
Revised MDA
The revised MDA states the CRA will design and construct the town circle and
streetscape including the exterior of S1. Paul's AME church. The cost to the CRA
for both of these requests is an unknown variable at this time which prohibits
accurate budget forecasting.
7. Phasing Order The project as described in the Agreement has the senior
affordable rental as Phase I. However, without a legitimate grocery store in
place, Auburn will not be able to win the necessary tax credits to construct Phase
I. Should Phase I become the grocery store/retail portion of the Project?
Board Direction from October 14.2008 Meetina
The Board did not provide policy direction. Staff suggested it might be more
effective to have a commercial developer partner with Auburn on this aspect of
the project. Staff is in negotiations with a national grocery store chain for the
HOB area.
Revised MDA
An inconsistency exists within the MDA (Page 10) whereby Auburn states
construction will begin on a grocery store after they have sold 75% of the units in
Phase II. However, the grocery store is required to compete for Florida Housing
Finance Corporation for the proximity issue to be selected for a Tax Credit Deal
at the state level for the Phase I Senior Housing Residential project. Auburn
stated they will agree to consider entering into an agreement to allow a third
party commercial developer to develop and manage the grocery store.
8. Proiect ScoDe Auburn has added 7/10 of an acre to the project scope in the
revised Agreement. In discussions, Auburn has indicated that they desire to
extend the project scope south into the industrial area along Railroad
Avenue for the market rate condominium portion of the Project. Is this
3
considered a significant deviation from their submitted RFP response? Does the
eity/CRA wish to convert more of its industrial land to residential?
I his Itepl W8S claritied 81 Trio-! i ,ctohel
np.::!tlnq 8:3 '11) eno' tN l\ilr HlrlnpI l;
9. Retail. Auburn is requesting the CRA lease the retail space from them in an
amount sufficient to cover their lenders required debt coverage ratio as well as
the CRA must locate the tenants for the space. Typically, it is the role of the
developer to finance, build and lease the space. Would the project and the CRA
be better served working with a commercial developer specializing in developing
retail in similar neighborhoods?
Board Direction from October 14.2008 Meeting
The Board agreed the CRA would not be responsible for leasing and managing
the grocery store.
Revised MDA
Auburn added they woulcJ agree to cons/ejer entering Into an agreenlel1J 10 -iH()I/\,
d third party commercial developer to develop 8nd manape the qr oeer v ~rl)l!-e.
10. Height The Agreement states that Phase IV will be between 7 - 8 stories.
Auburns RFP response indicates a maximum height of 2 - 3 stories. Given the
communities sensitivity to height, should the number of stories be set for the
entire project within the Agreement?
Board Direction from October 14. 2008 Meeting
Discussion was that the Heart of Boynton eommunity Redevelopment Plan muSf
be amended to address the height/density requested under the MDA
Revised MDA

11. Financial Capacity. Given the requested term of the Agreement a periodic
check of the financial health of Auburn is advisable if the Board elects to enter
into the Agreement. Should the City/CRA receive audited financials annually?
Should the developer demonstrate financial capacity prior to entering into the
Agreement particularly since financials submitted in the response to the RFP are
over two years old?
Board Direction from October 14. 2008 Meeting
The Board did not provide policy direction on this issue. Mr. Hinners stated II'
Section 24, the eRA can determine if Auburn has the tinancial capacity to
undertake each phase. However, Section 24 does not outline Auburns
responsibility in providing financial statements and documentation to the CRA
order for the eRA to make a determination of finanCial capability
Revised MDA
The Section 24 clause sfates the eRA can detemllne It Auburn t'IQ~ lne tinancin'
capacity to undertake each phase by reviewing financial ,1w:lJrnents I( r

provided by Auburn. The eRA has 15 days from the date of receipt of Auburn's
financial documents to review and determine financial capability.
12. Liauidated Damaaes. In the latest version of the Agreement, Auburn is seeking
$5M in liquidated damages if the CRA does not fund the requested $13M for
Phase IV. Is this request appropriate when the developer has the reasonable
expectation of earning a profit on the first three phases? Should the CRA seek
liquidated damages if Auburn does not perform under the terms of the
Agreement?
Board Direction from October 14.2008 Meetina
No Board consensus on this issue. Mr. Hinners stated the $5M Iiquated
damages for Phase IV would be removed from the MDA.
Revised MDA
The $5M in liquidated damages has been removed from the revised MDA.
13. Overhead Reimbursement. If Phase I does not go forward and the CRA elects
to end the contractual relationship with the Auburn, Auburn is requesting their
overhead expenses related to the project be reimbursed by the CRA. The
overhead expense request includes office staff except for the five highest paid
executives as well as all third party consultants and contractors but does not
have a fee schedule to determine cost. Does the Board feel this is appropriate?
If so, at what date does the clock start ticking to reimburse Auburns operational
expenses?
Board Direction from October 14.2008 MeetinQ
No Board direction was provided.
Revised MDA
Section 24.2 states the eRA will reimburse all of Auburn's verifiable development
expenses except for the five highest paid executives. The MDA does not specify
a start .date for expenses to accrue and no schedule was provided listing
Auburn's remaining staff salaries hourly or otherwise under the reimbursement
request. Also, a schedule was not provided to estimate for third-party contractual
(such as architects, engineers, surveyors, etc.) expenses as requested in the
revised MDA.
14. Prooertv ACQuisition/Pricina. The Agreement contains no provision for a price
cap on property acquisition. If Auburn is placing properties under option contract
at prices well above appraised value there will be a funding gap between the as-
built appraisal and the funds required to close the construction loan. Is the CRA
willing to provide these funds in order to make the project happen?
Board Direction from October 14. 2008 Meetina
No Board policy direction provided.
Revised MDA
No revisions made.
15. Rollover of CRA Funds. Auburn is requesting that if eRA funds are not used in
a particular phase those funds roll over into the next phase. If CRA funds are not
5
needed in a particular phase, should that amount be deducted from the overall
eRA financial commitment?
Board Direction from October 14.2008 Meetina
Staff requested a clause regarding verification of costs to determine it allot the
eRA funds requested were actually necessary to that particular phase of the
project Mr. Hinners agreed.

15. Below Market Rate Financina. In the Agreement Auburn states they shall seek
below market rate debt financing and grants for the project. Should the savings
resulting from securing below market debt financing be deducted from the CRA's
financial obligation?
Board Direction from October 14. 2008 Meetina
The Board directed the MDA should reflect that in the event that Auburn receives
below-market rate financing for any phase of the development then the resulting
savings to that particular phase will be deducted from the eRA's advanced
payment for that phase.

MASTER
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into this _
day of ,2008, by and between AUBURN DEVELOPMENT, LLC with an address at 777

BEACH ("City"), a municipal corporation ofthe State of Florida, with an address at 100 E. Boynton
Beach Boulevard, Boynton Beach, FL 33425-0310 and the CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ("CRA") with an address at 915 S. Federal
Highway, Boynton Beach, FL 33435.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the City and the CRA have identified certain areas of the City for
redevelopment as described in Exhibit" A" attached hereto and made a part hereof; and
WHEREAS, Auburn is a developer which specializes in redevelopment and desires to
redevelop certain real properties located in the City within its designated CRA District; and
WHEREAS, the properties Auburn desires to redevelop are owned by several different
property owners, including the CRA; and
WHEREAS, in December, 2001, after several meetings with community residents and input
from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, the City and the CRA adopted a redevelopment
plan entitled the "Heart of Boynton Plan" ("Plan") for approximately 480 acres of the CRA District;
and
WHEREAS, to improve upon it and to reflect changes to market conditions, the City and the
CRA desire to amend the Plan to reflect a revised Project Plan now contemplated by the City, the
CRA and Auburn; and
FTL:2587484: 1 0
WHEREAS, the City and the eRA agree to have A.uburn serve as the developer of the tirs!
approximately 26.3 acres to be redeveloped (sometimes referred to herein as the "Project'" ill'
"Redevelopment Site"), which development will be located specifically within the Martin Luther
King Redevelopment Area; and
WHEREAS, through a Request for Proposals ("RFP"), the CRA conducted a competitive
process to select a master developer for the Redevelopment Site. In its response to the RFP. the
Developer, through its written proposal dated August 7,2006. set forth its qualifications. to revitalize
the Redevelopment Site with the development offor-sale housing, rental housing and neighborhood
retail and through its responses to questions during interviews with the CRA (collectively, the
"Proposal"); and
WHEREAS, this Agreement, after discussions, conversations. negotiations and mutual
understandings among the parties, and with the community, the parties believe that it is in the best
interest of each party to initiate the process to develop the properties in accordance with the
requirements described herein, and in accordance with applicable Florida law, the City's Charter. the
City's Code of Ordinances ("Code") and the CRA requirements.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of mutual benefits and the public interest and
other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Recitals. The foregoing recitations are true and correct and are hereby incorporated
herein by reference. All exhibits to this Agreement are hereby deemed a part hereof.
2. Authoritv. This Agreement is entered into under the authority of the Florida
Constitution, the general powers conferred upon municipalities by statute and otherwise. the Citv' s
Charter, and CRA requirements.
FTL:2587 48410
,
3. Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective upon the date the last party
executes the Agreement.
4. Expeditious Review. The City and the CRA will process, as expeditiously as
possible pursuant to the law, consideration of amendments to the City's Land Use Plan and rezonings
to change the land use and zoning designations of the Redevelopment Site in order to develop the
Project consistent with the Plan.
5. Propertv Ownership. The parties acknowledge that because some ofthe properties
within the Plan are owned by third parties, the development of such properties by Auburn is
contingent upon acquisition of these properties. In the event Auburn is unable to acquire some of
these properties, the parties agree that the Plan may need to be modified upon mutual agreement.
Auburn has contacted the owners of most of the properties within the approximately 26.3 acres and
has concluded that the boundaries of the four phases may have to be changed from the initial
boundaries to reflect that some owners refuse to sell for any price, and some are demanding totally
unreasonable prices or terms. The parties agree that both the first phase, planned for a gated senior
rental community, and the fourth phase, planned for condominium building(s), must be built on
contiguous parcels, whereas the second phase, planned for single family and townhouse buildings
can be built on non-contiguous parcels if Auburn deems the acquisition of contiguous parcels to be
too difficult or impossible.
6. Duration of A2reement. The duration of this Agreement shall be for a twelve (12) (])
year period from the date this Agreement is fully executed by the parties hereto ("Effective Date")
and will only be extended by the mutual consent of the parties or their successors in interest which
extension shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.
The parties acknowledge and agree the Project is @

Exhibit "A" for a more particular description ofthe Project and the properties proposed tor eaell
phase of development. Except as specifically set forth herein. the eRA shall have no obligation Ie<
advance funds or land for a phase until the previous phase is substantially complete. It is the mtent
ofthe CRA, however, to obtain funding and acquire land throughout the approximately 26.3 acres as
expeditiously as possible if it is determined that an acquisition is prudent at a particular time.
8. City and CRA Land. Within thirty (30) days after the City and the CRA receives
written notice from Auburn that it intends to close, within the next thirty (30) days, on its
construction financing and on the last of any parcels it intends to acquire. in Auburn's sole
discretion, for a particular phase, the City or the CRA, as applicable. shall convey to Auburn. any
portion of land they own located within that particular phase, for the nominal price of $10. with
marketable title in accordance with Florida Statutes, and free and clear of all encumbrances. The
conveyance shall take place at the same time as Auburn's closing on its construction financing tor
that particular phase.
9. Development Support. The CRA and the City shall provide all reasonable assistance
requested by Auburn in obtaining licenses, approvals, clearances or other cooperation from local.
State, or Federal agencies, the Mayor's Office, the City Commission and any other local governing
bodies. The CRA and the City shall support, and seek the support of others, for any applications

other State or local funding needed for the Project.
10. Overall Commitment. The CRA, the City and Auburn shall cooperate with each
other in outreach to the neighborhood to provide information to the community about the Project.
The CRA, the City and Auburn will take all reasonable actions which are within their respective

changes or amendments to the Project which will still accomplish the original goals set forth in this
Agreement to the maximum extent possible given available resources.
11. Land Use. The CRA, the City and Auburn agree that time is of the essence. The
CRA and the City will expeditiously process the land use plan amendments and rezonings needed for
the Project, once a complete application is submitted to the City. The City shall endeavor to
complete consideration of the land use and zoning approvals for Phase 1 by March 15,2009. The
City shall become the applicant for all necessary land use and zoning changes for the Project if
requested to do so by Auburn. Auburn and the CRA will provide assistance to the City with these
changes.
12. Fundint! Conditions. It is agreed to, and acknowledged by, the Parties, that the CRA
advancements to Auburn described herein shall be conditioned upon the appropriation offunds in the
CRA's budget for the fiscal year in which Auburn requests the advancement for a particular phase.
In the event that the CRA budget for appropriations is reduced from the projected amount in the year
an advancement is requested, the advancement shall be reduced in the same percentage as the
percentage reduction in the CRA appropriations budget. All funds advanced by the CRA to Auburn
for a particular phase shall be advanced simultaneously with Auburn's actual closing on the
construction financing for that particular phase. Auburn shall provide an opinion letter prepared by a
certified public accountant on the one, two and three year anniversary of the payment evidencing
how Auburn utilized the advancement funds.
13. Future CRA Land Acquisitions. Prior to Auburn's notice to the City and the CRA
that it intends to close, within the next thirty (30) days, on its construction financing for a phase, the
CRA may use, subj ect to Auburn's consent, the advancement funds designated for a particular phase

Statutes. free and clear of any encumbrances at the same time as Auburn's closing on its construction
financing for that particular phase. Any eRA advancement shall be reduced by the dollar amount the
CRA paid to acquire any land approved by Auburn between the Effective Date of this Agreement
and Auburn's notice it intends to close on its construction financing.
14. Grants and Loans. Auburn and CRA shall diligently pursue grants. loans and other
funding so as to reduce the amount the CRA is obligated to advance to Auburn for each phase. as
/15\~

well as to accelerate the rate ofland acquisition and construction of the Project. See Exhibit "B".
attached hereto and made a part hereof for a more detailed example of how this may work. In the
event that the CRA does not have to pay the maximum advancement amount for a given phase due to
any grants, loans or other funding obtained by Auburn or the CRA for that phase, the amount of such
advancement not paid to Auburn shall roll over for use in the next phase ("Rollover Amount"), In
the event Rollover Funds exist for a subsequent phase. Auburn may choose to begin a subsequent
phase while still constructing the prior phase. Upon Auburn's request in writing, the CRA shall
release the Rollover Funds simultaneously with Auburn's closing on its construction financing for
the subsequent phase. Auburn and the CRA agree that in order to acquire tax-credit financing,
Auburn may need to develop Phase 3 first to meet the tax credit grocery store proximity
(j)
requirement. The parties acknowledge that Phase 2 funding and construction will, in all likelihood.
take place before Phase 1 due to opportune acquisitions, a shorter approval period for single family
development and available funding.
15. Option to Proceed. Auburn shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to proceed
with the development of a subsequent phase of the Plan without completion of a prior phase. In such
event, however, Auburn shall have no right to any designated advancement from the CRA for the
new phase, until the prior phase is substantially complete. Prior to substantial completion of the
prior phase, Auburn, however, may utilize any other funds received from other governmental
FTL258748410
()
agencies, grants or loans and Rollover Funds, if any exist, which the CRA shall pay at the time of
Auburn's closing on its construction financing for the subsequent phase.
16. Eminent Domain. In the event Auburn determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
exhausted all efforts to purchase a parcel needed for an assemblage for a particular phase, the City
agrees, upon a request in writing from Auburn or the eRA, to consider the use of its eminent domain
powers to acquire such property for a public purpose. The City and the CRA, additionally, agree to
consider requests to amend the Plan due to the unavailability of certain properties for the Project.
17. Chapter 163 Development Ae:reement. The parties acknowledge that when the land ~
use designation for a particular phase of the Project becomes consistent with the City's Land Use ~
Plan, and all applicable appeal periods have expired, the parties intend to process as expeditiously as
possible a Florida Statutes, Chapter 163 Development Agreement for each such phase.
PHASE 1
18. Phase 1 shall consist of up to 160 senior low income rental apartment units (on up to
(!)
4 acres of land, designated for 40 units per acre) and a senior center. Auburn shall determine, in its
sole discretion, the exact number of units to be developed and the exact location of the land to be
used for Phase 1. The CRA's contribution to Phase 1 shall be the land it owns in Phase 1 as of the

FUNDING EXAMPLE
It is the intention of the parties to apply for any available funding from the state of
Florida or local governmental sources other than Boynton Beach, or charitable foundation
funding for the Project, so as to accelerate the funding necessary for acquisition of the
properties comprising the Heart of Boynton, and also to reduce the funding that the CRA
has committed to in this agreement. Funding that comes in the form of a grant from a
source other than the CRA will accomplish both of these objectives, whereas funding that
comes in the form of a loan from a source other than the CRA will accelerate the
acquisitions, and the CRA's tax revenue, but will eventually need to be repaid from
future monies encumbered by the CRA for the Project, or monies received from other
government bodies in the form of loans or grants. Auburn as Developer will be
responsible for preparing all applications for such funding, but if it enhances the ability to
obtain such funding, the CRA shall be the applicant.
In 2009 and 20 I 0 the CRA has agreed to encumber $1,920,000 for Phase One. Let us
assume that we are successful in receiving $950,000 in grants for Phase 1 by the end of
2009. That would result in a rollover of$950,000 from the Phase 1 encumbered funds to
Phases 2, 3, and 4 to reduce the amount that was scheduled to be encumbered by the
CRA for those phases. It is understood that the grants and loans we are discussing here do
not include normal Housing Credit equity funding or tax exempt bond funding.
Let us also assume that we are successful in obtaining $4,500,000 in 1 % loans from other@'
government bodies in 2009, payable when we complete the entire redevelopment of l-'
Phases 1 through 4. These monies would not serve to reduce the monies scheduled to be
encumbered by the CRA but would serve to enable us to acquire property earlier at lower
prices, and would facilitate faster redevelopment than presently scheduled.
Monies scheduled to be encumbered by the CRA total $6,994,000 during the five years
2011 through 2015 for Phases 1, 2 and 3. Let us assume that the parties would be
successful in receiving from other governmental sources and from charitable foundations
a total of$5,250,000 in grants for Phases 2 and 3 between 2010 and 2015. We would then
have a total of $6,200,000 received from grants that would result in $6,200,000 of the
CRA encumbered funds rolling over to Phase 4.
Monies scheduled to be encumbered by the CRA in year 2016 for Phase 4 total
$13,070,000, but that amount would have been reduced to $6,885,000 by virtue of the
aforementioned $6,200,000 in grants received earlier.
The total CRA funding for Heart of Boynton would then be $15,799,000 spread over the
next nine years, for an average of $1,755,444 per year, not including the land to be
contributed that the CRA already owns.

the market. The State requires they activate the license by June 16,2009. Staff wanted
to put the license on the market and advised they could realize $90,000 to $150,000
from the sale, less any broker's fee if they used a broker to market it. The broker's fee
is typically ten percent. Since this could take a long time, staff was recommending
selecting the Prakas Group to sell the license, based on their experience.
Motion
Mr. Hay moved that the staff go with the Prakas Group because of their extensive
experience in the South Florida Restaurant and Bar area (of expertise). Mr. Weiland
seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
There was brief discussion about the adult use license. Ms. Brooks explained that
license was not transferrable off the property. Mr. Bressner explained when the City
purchased Morey's, they sold the liquor license and burned the use license.
H. Consideration of Approval of Master Development Agreement between
the CRA and the Auburn Group for the MlK Corridor
Ms. Bright explained, in order to move forward with the Master Development
Agreement, staff was seeking policy direction from the board on several items she
outlined. On July 10, 2007, the CRA Board directed staff to begin negotiations with the
Auburn Development Group for the MlK Corridor. The project was brought forward and
conceptually approved by the Board in June of 2008. Since then, the Strand decision
was made, then reversed and then upheld. In addition, the Property Tax Reform
caused a $1,500,000 deficit to the CRA budget, and the world capital market was still
changing.
Item 1. Term of the Agreement. Auburn proposed a 20-year term and staff
recommended a 10-year term. Auburn indicated they could build the project within 12
years. Ms. Bright requested the term be changed to 12 years, and was comfortable
with the change.
Chair Taylor explained he had a concern with signing a 20 or 12 year contract because
of what has transpired in the market. He was inclined to do the project in Phase I and if
that worked well, then to proceed to Phase II. He recalled, initially, Auburn had indicated
they could b'uild the project with their own funding; however, the CRA would be
providing $20,000,000 in Tax Increment Financing funds. It was his understanding an
analysis was done for Phase I and the developer needed $200,000 to be made whole,
but was, in fact, requesting $1,900,000 in the first phase. He advised the design has
changed in height from three stories to six and seven stories and he thought the entire
package needed to be reviewed.
Mr. Weiland spoke about performance issues from phase to phase in the contract as
well as penalties and he was opposed to the 20-year time frame. Phase IV would be
22
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
October 14, 2008
the phase the developer made his profit on. He pointed out to authorize Phases I and II,
and the developer not have a guarantee Phase III would be developed would not be
right especially when the developer would be providing a senior center and affordable
housing. He explained down the road, another Board may not want to continue the
project, and damages would have to be paid. Also, if the developer did not perform.
there should be a non-performance clause and the CRA should be paid damages. It
was unlikely the project would be profitable to the developer unless they had the density
to do it, and that aspect made it unlikely the project would be only two or three stories
Vice Chair Rodriguez did not believe the public would purchase in the development
unless the price was appropriate, and that was contingent on the density.
Mr. Hay agreed with most of what Mr. Weiland discussed, but expressed it seemed
unrealistic the developer would not make a profit on the first three phases. When the
project was originally discussed, the Board did not want three-to-five stories and he
thought further discussion was needed before the project would be developed to that
extreme.
Mr. Weiland explained the pro forma showed where the developer would make his
profit, and if the developer did not build the project, the community would have nothing.
Chair Taylor read a portion of the contract that indicated if Phase I did not move forward
and the contract was ended by the CRA, then the developer was requesting overhead
expenses be reimbursed. Additionally, the developer would seek liquidated damages in
the amount of $5,000,000 if the CRA did not fund $13,000,000 for Phase IV. He
indicated it was not known if they would have the money when they got to Phase IV
There was a developer's agreement listing an amount, and when the City received
$2,900,000 for affordable housing from the Housing and Urban Development Division,
the amount in the contract changed. Chair Taylor was not in favor of signing the
agreement and indicated the CRA could go broke over the agreement. He preferred to
have an agreement for Phase I.
Ms. Bright explained Phase I would be the senior, tax credit residential building. The
four-story product would originally be constructed on the City/CRA land. She was
advised by the developer that they have 100% of the option contracts in the middle of
the project area that comprised four acres and he was ready to move forward with that
project.
Cito Beguiristain responded to the comments and explained the height of the project
has not changed for over a year; it was the same project approved on June 10th. The
number of units, or subsidy requested had not changed but he did indicate they were
considering single-family homes. He explained it was the same concept presented at
the Sims Center.
Mr. Weiland discussed one of the phases changed to seven or eight stories. Mr.
Beguiristain explained nothing had changed in design but there was one change which
23
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
October 14, 2008
was that if the developer received funds from any other source, they would reduce, in
equal amounts, the CRA's commitment. They improved the agreement.
Mr. Berguiristain advised the term of the original agreement was 20 years because that
was the maximum amount of time under the law that could be used. The intent was
never to extend it for that length of time. The Ocean Breeze project took three years to
build on three or four acres of land. His project was on 27 acres and had 697 units.
The project would take longer and it would require competitive financing. The annual
rental aspect of the project was an annual allocation, which would reduce the cost for
the CRA on a per unit basis. If other funds were received from other sources it would
reduce the CRA's commitment. Mr. Berguiristain explained the Auburn Group actively
seeks additional funds.
Item 2. Subsidy Amount ReQuested bv Auburn. The main issue was financial
verification of project costs was typically conducted by a third party. Mr. Berguiristain
explained the CRA has the analysis. Ms. Bright explained they only had the pro forma
for Phase I. Mr. Berguiristain responded he provided them to Ms. Harris when the Tax
Increment Financing analysis was done.
Ms. Brooks explained Phase 1\ was originally supposed to be multi-family town homes
and condominiums but would be single-family infill. She did not have a pro forma or
operating agreement for anything other than Phase I. Mr. Berguiristain pointed out it
was an exhibit to the agreement they were emaited earlier in the day and they were sent
several times. He explained a pro forma for Phase II was unrealistic because they were
still acquiring property. He agreed they added the possibility of single~family because,
on the north side, where the CRA owned parcels, there were single-family homes that
were new. He explained contingent on what happened in the market, single-family
homes could be less burdensome in terms of coming up with down payment assistance.
Ms. Brooks explained the purpose of the document was to help develop an agreement
the Board could live with and they needed to know how much subsidy was reasonable.
Mr. Berguiristain explained, compared to the Ocean Breeze project, Auburn leveraged
the dollars much better. Ms. Brooks explained they still needed the numbers, and they
needed to verify the amount of subsidy. She inquired why the numbers stayed the
same in the agreement when the project changed. There was a calculation used to
determine subsidies and in order to ascertain what was needed, information from the
development, the operating pro forma, and the sources and uses was needed.
Mr. Berguiristain presented the Board with the pro forma and provided them with all the
contracts for Phase I. He clarified in Phase I, the developer would not receive any
subsidy from the CRA above and beyond what was necessary to pay its developer fee.
That provision was in the agreement and the worst case scenario would be a 1.2 debt
coverage ratio. When Florida Housing underwrites the project, it is determined if the
$1,900,000 was too much, the eRA did not have to provide that amount of money at
24

closing. They could give the CRA the money. He explained Phase II was not
oversubsidized because the CRA was giving 25%, the same amount as Ocean Breeze.
Phase I contained clauses to ensure oversubsidy did not occur. In Phase III, they were
building the grocery store at no cost to the CRA in the retail area and giving it to them
for one dollar. In Phase IV, if all three phases were delivered, they were building the
parking garage, which was what they presented to the community. There was no
negative response to the garage, which was located right on Federal Highway.
Vice Chair Rodriguez inquired if the third party review could be done post approval.
Attorney Cherof explained that was a business decision, but if it was done afterwards,
the CRA could wind up chasing their funding.
Susan Harris, Finance Director, explained they needed new numbers whenever there
are changes and it changes the pro forma. Mr. Berguiristain suggested, in addition to
the contract language in Phase /, that Auburn would only be subsidized to a certain
amount based on debt coverage ratios. In Phases II, '" and IV, there would be
language that indicates that if it was determined by a third party that the developer
came up with an unreasonable developer return in terms of profit on the project over a
certain percentage, then Auburn would agree the amount would be reduced. That
amount would be determined by a bank or third party analysis.
Ms. Bright explained staff must be able to calculate some type of Tax Increment
Financing based on the unit and product type and what portion of the Tax Increment
Financing would cover future bonding. Mr. Berguiristain explained he could provide a
revised pro forma showing a certain percentage of single-family homes for Tax
Increment Financing calculation purposes.
Item 3, Auburn's Request for a 163 Agreement. This item pertained to the length of the
agreement for future funding agreements. Mr. Berguiristain explained the term of the
agreement was not unreasonable and the eRA was not bound to future funding
commitments because the agreement was subject to year-to-year budget allocations.
He inquired if Auburn purchased the entire 27 acres for the project and started
investing, and the CRA decided not to continue the project, how Auburn would be made
whole. Chair Taylor noted for the first three phases, they wanted the CRA to purchase
the land and give 7.5% interest.
Mr. Beguiristain explained Auburn was making the investment with Auburn's dollars,
and under those conditions, Auburn should be able to recover that investment. He
explained Phase IV included a deterrent figure to encourage dialogue and the number
did not have to be $5,000,000. Mr. Berguiristain explained he received an email from
D.J. Doody's office dated September 23, 2008 indicating they made a revision to the
agreement and eliminated Phases III and IV. Mr. Weiland noted he never voted on that.

Ms. Bright explained she was never in favor of using $12,000,000 in public dollars
funded through a bond to pay for a private parking garage for a market rate product in
Phase IV. She explained there has to be a public purpose benefit and there had to be
an internal rate of return for Auburn. The Senior Tax Credit rental project in Phase I had
to be a public purpose for the Phase IV development to occur.
Mr. Beguiristain explained the project was between 30% and 40% workforce and
affordable housing and had a 3,500 square foot senior center that was open to the
public. The project was not four projects; it was one project with four phases. It
revitalized the entire street.
Vice Chair Rodriguez inquired how organizations were protected against people
changing their minds. Ms. Bright explained typically an RFP is not issued unless there
was site control. This project never had it. Auburn was charged, as was the CRA staff,
to execute a Master Development Agreement. Auburn incurred the properties in good
faith, but without an agreement with the Board.
Vice Chair Rodriguez inquired how Auburn could be protected from termination from a
future Board. Mr. Beguiristain explained they would have some protection when the
land use was changed and a 163 Agreement was entered into, but the City has to give
the CRA the authority to enter into the agreement. He noted in it, they proposed the
bare minimum for the first three phases. There would be profit made on the phases but
the incentive for trying to assemble the project was Phase IV. The CRA was protected
because they do not pay Auburn until the site plan approvals, permits and all else were
in place and they were closing on the construction financing. That was only for Phase
IV. He anticipated spending about $2,500,000 to $2,800,000 on Phase I.
There was brief discussion about land purchases, and more specifically the owners of
the Galley and Finkelstein properties, who had knowledge about the project. Mr.
Berguiristain explained they did not want to overpay and they wanted to give individuals
fair prices. There was no clause in the agreement that required if they overpaid for land,
the CRA had to pay the difference. There would be some properties that would be
overpaid. Chair Taylor noted, the provisions in Phase I indicated the CRA still would pay
for the land plus 7.5% interest if they dropped out of Phase I.
Vice Chair Rodriguez explained there would be some properties that would be overpaid
and some properties on which they may get a good deal.
Item 4. Number of Phases. There was discussion about the number of phases in the
project and the protections added in the contract.
Susan Motley, Attorney for the Auburn Group, explained when the Auburn Group
received the email and learned the phases were reduced to two, they were upset. In
terms of the provisions, they felt they could not deal with just a two-phased project.
They insisted it be a four-phased project, but as a result of raising the issue of it only

being a two phased contract, they wanted additional protections. There was a draft
agreement and the parties needed to work together and move forward. She indicated
once the Board determines if it would approve a four phase project, they could discuss
other issues such as liquidated damages.
Mr. Weiland expressed the Board has always discussed four phases, and was never
told it was suggested to be two phases. He was not happy about the correspondence.
Vice Chair Rodriguez also expressed his disappointment.
Attorney Cherof explained it was within the Executive Director's authority to explore the
negotiating process, and she has the authority to test some of the aspects of the
contract. Vice Chair Rodriguez indicated then Ms. Bright could have exercised the
same philosophy applied to the 16 items under discussion; however, Attorney Cherof
advised that was not correct, as they were policy matters.
Ms. Ross appreciated the items being brought to the Board's attention and was glad
they started to discuss them. The environment was changing and the CRA could not
assume they would stick with four phases. She explained it was a leap of faith for her to
embrace the project at four phases. She clarified she was not implying she absolutely
would not do so, but at this point, there was no way. She wanted as much information
as possible from staff because these were serious questions.
Item 5, ReQuest for Public Subsidy for Market Rate Development. Chair Taylor spoke
about the garage and felt it was not the CRA's responsibility to build a garage in
someone else's project.
Mr. Hay inquired if the garage would have a public use. Mr. Berguiristain responded
when the concept for the four phases was presented, it included the garage, and the
Board approved it. Some of the items identified were the senior center, 270 affordable
and workforce homes, and neighborhood retail.
Ms. Harris explained there were many public purposes in the entirety of the agreement.
In light of the amount of funds they would have to bond for, she suggested they obtain
the opinion of their bond financial advisor on whether it was public or private use. She
explained it may not meet the criteria for the 163 bond. The affordable housing and
senior center was in the overall agreement but may not be specific about what they
want for bonding. There were no liquidation damages if the CRA did not have the
ability, by law, to bond. The amount of subsidy for Phase I was $1,900,000.
Mr. Hay explained he always heard the project was four phases and he needed to know
jf the project would be four phases or not. He wanted to see the project get back on
track.

Ms. Bright suggested Auburn add another level to the garage so they could get all
public amenities there. She explained if they go to bond, they have specific criteria that
must be met. Mr. Hinners explained the garage was for a workforce housing community
and a percentage of units was required.
Ms. Bright explained the issue was this was a bond and advance matter, not a back-end
revenue sharing Tax Increment Financing agreement. They were a partner in the deal.
She emphasized it has to have some sort of Transit Oriented Development stop there,
and some public benefit for public dollars to be spent on it. The parties have gone back
and forth on the matter. Boynton Beach was targeted to get three of 96 stops on the
transit rail. Ms. Motley suggested having bond counsel make a determination based on
what Auburn proposed to use the garage for and the public's level of use.
Attorney Cherof pointed out they could obtain an opinion today, but it was not clear how
binding the opinion would be when the obligation comes forward. The obligation was in
Phase IV, and was tied to a liquidated damages clause. Ms. Motley explained the
clause, the way it was written, pertained to if the CRA defaulted on the clause; not
Auburn. There was consensus to consult with bond counsel.
Item 6. Request for Funding for Public Improvements. Ms. Bright explained this amount
was not in the revised agreement, and staff was to work with Auburn to develop a
streetscape. They agreed $500,000 would be for a traffic circle and the balance would
cover the entire area. Ms. Brooks explained they do not have a design at this point, so
the funds did not relate to anything specific at this point. It was recommended, during
negotiations it be a City/CRA project because it was in a public right-of-way and they
would work in collaboration with Auburn. The CRA would undertake the design to
ensure it would not conflict with what was planned. Then staff would go out to bid,
contract and undertake the project in a time line that was consistent with what Auburn
would do.
Mr. Hinners explained the reason to have Auburn oversee the construction was to
coordinate it with the construction of the homes. They would not make profit on the
improvement, and they could be made at the correct times in the process. Mr. Hinners
was amenable to the CRA handling the process. Ms. Bright recommended the City and
the CRA reasonably work with Auburn. Vice Chair Rodriguez explained the City would
take over the responsibility for public improvements and the CRA would fund it.
Chair Taylor left the dais at 11 :06 p. m.
Item 7. Phasina Order. Mr. Hinners explained for purposes of obtaining the housing
credits for affordable housing, they must have the grocery store. Ms. Bright explained
they were trying to get the rule changed, and they likely would not make the next cycle.
If that did not occur, in the agreement for next year they would have to move forward
with the grocery store. Mr. Hinners explained they would have to move quickly and
Auburn would pay for the building.

Mr. Weiland explained if it was one or two phases, the project and its numbers would
change drastically. He expressed it was his understanding the CRA was close to
finalizing an agreement and now he felt it was not.
Attorney Cherof explained the agreement drafted was not far from a final product. The
policy issues presented needed to be answered. He explained Item 4 was the number
of phases which caused uncertainty about the revenue stream going out beyond the
first phase. Once that was resolved, they could continue on.
Vice Chair Rodriguez inquired if contingencies could be built around the revenue
stream. Mr. Beguiristrain explained he was amenable that if funding for the CRA
revenue decreased by a certain percentage, they would not construct Phase IV.
Ms. Motley explained the most recent draft agreement received from the attorney was a
two-phased project. Attorney Cherof clarified the Board was working on the agreement
submitted by Auburn which was for four phases.
Vice Chair Rodriguez explained if the revenue stream was diminished by a certain
percent, that percentage would be carried over commensurately to the subsidy given to
the project. There was consensus the two attorneys would develop a plan for Item 4
and bring it back to the Board.
Phase IV was further discussed. Ms. Motley explained the intent of the garage was also
to provide a publiC purpose as well as serving the residents living within the structures.
It would provide parking for those using the senior center, Park and Ride for visitors to
the area, and shoppers in the retail areas. It was assumed the senior residents living
adjacent to the senior center would use it, and would be bused in.
None of the monies provided by the CRA would be given until the time Auburn secured
and closed on its construction financing for that particular phase and it would occur
simultaneously at closing. The time frame for that to occur was anticipated to be 2016.
The monies would totally subsidize the garage,
Tom Hinners, Auburn Development Group, explained they want public parking during
the day and private for the condominium residents at night. They were willing to have
the condominium units priced with income limits for the workforce housing ordinance,
which makes it a public purpose. The construction of the commercial property, the
grocery store, would cost about $2,500,000 and would be deeded to the CRA. They
could find public purposes for the garage. Chair Taylor felt individuals could not park
during certain hours of the day if they lived in one of the units and there should be a
certain number of spaces for private parking and a certain number of spaces for public
parking. Mr. Hinners responded the spaces were not reserved and shared parking was
a common arrangement.

Mr. Weiland explained if Auburn builds the store, it would benefit American Realty. He
inquired if there was any communication between the two developers. He thought there
could be a partnership with the store. The location of the store was on Seacrest at the
northern block of MlK north.
Chair Taylorretumed at 11:09 p.m.
Ms. Brooks explained the CRA has an obligation for the grocery store. Under the
current agreement, the CRA would lease the space at a debt coverage ratio of 1.2 and
be responsible for finding a tenant. There was also an unknown number they would be
paying to lease the store from Auburn. When Phase IV was completed, Auburn would
give them the store. The CRA needed some flexibility and input on the location and the
store itself because if they built to the minimum of the Florida Housing Finance Agency
standards, it may not equate to getting a grocery store tenant in the retail world. Ms.
Brooks explained they had a private sector developer. Ms. Brooks preferred to see
negotiation occur with a real grocery store developer as opposed to an existing
business owner. That was not what they were looking for. Mr. Hinners was flexible with
that provision and would work with the CRA on that. Ms. Bright explained both
American Realty and Auburn Development were specialized in affordable housing and
she suggested using a retail/commercial developer might be a better option.
Item 8. Proiect Scope. Ms. Bright explained this was an error that occurred with the
agreements going back and forth during negotiations. When she spoke with the
developer, the question was more of a typographical error. Mr. Hinners had no issue
with the item.
Item 9, Retail. Mr. Hinners was agreeable to the item. There was Board consensus the
CRA would not be in the retail business and not be leasing the space and finding a
tenant.
Item 10. Height. This item pertained to height. The Heart of Boynton Plan would have
to be amended, and it would show the project going from four to eight stories for Phase
IV only. There was agreement this should be brought back to the public and Mr.
Weiland was aware INCA had previously been opposed to the proposed height.
Ms. Bright would contact the Development Director and they would contact Auburn to
see if the public meetings they held were sufficient and if anything else needed to be
done.
Mr. Bressner explained the City Commission approved the Heart of Boynton Plan, and
this would be a modification. He explained there should be some Board action for the
modification of the plan. As part of that, there would be some pUblic discussion. He
believed there should be some public notification process. The major modification was
on the east end and the original plan did not have that density. City staff was not sure
of the senior center at that location. Ms. Brooks explained that updating the Heart of
30
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
October 14,2008
Boynton Plan would require a public hearing, which would likely occur after the
agreements are done. There was a timing issue. The height has to be approved via
Planning and Zoning, and then further approvals were needed.
Ms. Motley explained they would ensure the language provided for some flexibility if that
did not occur. The CRA would not be making a commitment as a governmental body to
do anything. They would agree to consider land use plan amendments and rezonings
to accommodate the project. It did not and cannot obligate them. Attorney Cherat
explained they would work to eliminate any language in the contract that could attract
litigation.
Item 11, Financial Capacity. Mr. Hinners explained paragraph 25 of the contract had a
provision that the CRA's obligation to provide funding was contingent upon Auburn
Development providing at least 45 days prior to the initial request for advancement of
funds for a particular phase, certain financial documents related to the financial
condition of Auburn. If the CRA determines Auburn was not financially able to do the
deal, they can cancel the entire contract. He explained if Auburn has obtained
construction financing for the entire development, then Auburn has proved its financial
worthiness and the financial statement requirement would not exist for that phase. That
was contained in the draft they developed.
Item 12, liquidated Damages. Mr. Hinners explained this item was an overreaction on
their part. They do not need the liquidated damages portion.
Item 13, Overhead Reimbursement. Mr. Hinners had suggested July 1, 2008 be the
starting date for their costs. It would not include the cost of the highest paid staff in
Auburn. Should the CRA not move forward, he indicated staff who was specifically
working on the development, should be reimbursed. He commented the costs would
have to be verified.
Item 14, Property Acquisition Pricinq. Mr. Hinners explained there was no provision in
the agreement the CRA would have to pay for land they acquired beyond the stated
obligations of the CRA regarding any phase.
Ms. Bright indicated the most important issue was there was no expectation tor the eRA
to buy land. If they did request they purchase nuisance land, they would not pay
anything above and beyond appraised value which would reduce the amount of the
CRA's financial obligations they had committed to during the term of the agreement. Mr.
Hinners confirmed that was correct.
Item 15, Rollover of Community Redevelopment Funds. Mr. Hinners explained
paragraph 15 of the last draft entitled "Grants and Loans", Exhibit B - "Funding
Example", provides the funds that would be rolled over were funds obtained from grants
from other government bodies. The grants reduce the funding obligation. The loans are
generally one-percent loans, and the purpose of obtaining the loans was to accelerate
31
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
October 14, 2008
the process of closing on land while prices were still low. Grants or loans would result in
a rollover of funds, but the loans would have to be repaid. Accordingly, only the grants
would reduce the dollar amount. Vice Chair Rodriguez inquired if the loans would
reduce the CRA's obligation. Mr. Hinners clarified it would provide funds sooner, so the
CRA would not have to provide those funds because they could be rolled over.
Ms. Brooks asked, for example, in Phase I for the Senior Center, if Auburn did not need
all the funds, then under the language in the contract, the funds would rollover to Phase
II. She indicated that perhaps the language should be more concise in the document,
rather than be contained in the exhibit. Mr. Weiland indicated if all the CRA funds are
not used, they should be returned. Mr. Hinners clarified under this scenario, the funds
would never be expended by the CRA to begin with. It would not go to Auburn. Rather,
it would rebound to the benefit of the CRA. He clarified they were not looking for
additional funds. They were asking that some of those funds be used to reduce the
CRA's obligation. They were not asking to reduce the funds for the project. The
transactions would be settled at the end.
Ms. Brooks explained the contract did not contain the provision of verification of the
actual project cost versus the CRA's contribution. The pro forma occurs before the
development, which was a best estimate. Then there was the actual as-built cost. Mr.
Hinners was amenable to providing all of their costs. Ms. Bright explained the issue
was the agreement did not provide for the as-built comparison and if it was wanted in
the agreement, then language should be added. Ms. Brooks advised Auburn was
required to provide that to the State for the senior rental portion of the project, and they
could have a similar requirement on the balance of the phases. Mr. Hinners had no
objection. Ms. Bright explained this was necessary from a financial/operational aspect.
Ms. Motley explained the funds are paid simultaneously at closing of the construction
loan for that phase, and the funds paid by the CRA were offset and reduced by the
amount of funding or grants that were obtained by Auburn. Those amounts did not
come out of the CRA's coffers. The grants would not keep rolling over and over. Mr.
Hinners explained the funds being rolled over were proposed to be used at the CRA's
discretion to accelerate other phases and it was their objective to construct the
development as fast as possible.
Item 16. Below Market Rate Financing. Mr. Hinners agreed to the provision.
It was expressed that the review of the above items was sufficient for the parties to
continue to prepare a final agreement that would be brought back at the next meeting.
The agreement would be circulated to the members prior to the meeting for review. The
City Commission would also need to approve the agreement the following week.
Attorney Cherot suggested having a joint CRA/City Commission meeting the week after
the CRA's meeting.

Summary of Key Findings
for
Martin Luther King Commercial Corridor Development
Overall Summary
A financial analysis was conducted to provide insight as to whether or not the Martin Luther King
Commercial Corridor Project as submitted by Auburn Development LLC was feasible and
whether or not the project warranted the funding requested from the Boynton Beach CRA. The
analysis was conducted utilizing the original site plan provided by Auburn. After reviewing the
information provided by Auburn, the amount needed from the CRA/City would be approximately
$23 million as project based subsidy plus $2.5 million under the Housing Assistance Program for
Phase II of the development totaling approximately $25.5 million or approximately 16% of the
total development costs to bring the project on-line, including a reasonable developer fee to
Auburn.
Auburn's home prices were adjusted to reflect current and near future market conditions.
Whether or not the prices in Phase IV will be achievable is impossible to tell given the volatility
in the market, but for the sake of this analysis they were assumed to be with the exception of the
commercial sales figures. In the event they cannot be reached, additional subsidy would be
needed. Below are key findings of each development phase.
Phase I Affordable Senior Rental Development
1. Without a grocery store within 1 mile proximity, the project won't be eligible for the
needed low income housing tax credits.
2. After donating 2 acres of land to the development, Auburn has requested an additional
$1.9 million for infrastructure improvements. Lying within an Urban Infill area, the
needed infrastructure is already in place. No evidence that additional improvements or
upgrades has been provided to indicate otherwise.
3 . Total profit to Auburn totals approximately $3 million or 11 % of the total construction
costs.
4. Hard costs of $ 130/sf may be reduced to $125/sfwhich is line with today's construction
standards reducing expenses by approximately $600,000.
5. First mortgage debt may be increased from $5.7 million to $6.8 million by reducing the
debt coverage ratio from 1.15 to 1.10 and at a reduced interest rate while still in-line with
conventional lending standards.
6. If may be possible to secure additional equity into the project due to recent legislation
passed by Congress which would allow a higher price to be gained per tax credit.
Phase II Homeownership Development
1. It is unclear whether or not the majority of Auburn's home prices will be achievable;
however, for sake of analysis they were assumed to be feasible. In the event the units do
not appraise, additional subsidy would be needed for the units to come on-line.
2. In Auburn's analysis, $2.5 million in HAP was incorrectly listed on the pro forma. The
$2.5 million requested would be made available to the buyers ofthe units as per program
guidelines, not to Auburn. The effect is Auburn's home prices listed would have to
collectively increase to make up the $2.5 million.
3. Depending on how Auburn allocates the $2.5 million to make up the difference, the
increase in the home prices will put price points above current HAP program guidelines.
4. Workforce Housing Administration in the amount of $25,000 is not a standard expense.
Clarification is needed from Auburn as to what this expense is for.
Phase III Grocery Store
1. Auburn's information was incomplete and could not be used to perform the needed
analysis. As a result, a development pro forma was constructed in line with today's
construction and lending standards for a 24,000 sq ft grocery store/commercial outlet.
2. As mentioned above, the grocery store is needed to secure the necessary financing for the
senior affordable housing development. This should be considered being moved to Phase
1.
3. The amount of permanent debt that can be supported is limited due to the fact that
grocery stores, even stores such as Publix or Winn Dixie, do not pay very high rents. It's
estimated that approximately $3.5 million can be supported.
4. As a result of not being able to finance higher amounts of debt, more upfront subsidy
would be needed from the CRA/City. In the pro forma, it's estimated $4.8 million
would be needed upfront, whether as land donations, direct subsidy, or a combination of
both. In the attached pro forma, a combination is assumed given the CRA and City have
available land within the MLK corridor.
Phase IV Market Rate Homeownership Units and Commercial
1. After making needed changes to the pro forma, the amount needed would be $12.9 million
vs. the $13.3 million that Auburn currently is requesting.
2. The home prices listed by Auburn may not be achievable given the uncertainty in today's
market place and the long term nature of the Master Development Agreement. If not,
additional subsidy from the CRA/City would be required over and above what's currently
being asked for.
3. It's assumed Auburn will sell the commercial space, rather than lease it. The price listed is
$300 per sq ft. This price is high and is most likely not achievable. In the attached pro
forma, it was effectively reduced to $200 to be conservative. Even at $200, it's higher than
today's current prices. Again, the long term nature of the development makes it difficult to
accurately assess what the market price will be in 12 years.
4. Auburn listed $2.5 million needed for a construction trailer and marketing. Figure appears
high and should be reduced by at least $1 million reducing the amount of subsidy requested.

In SUPPOlt of this request I call your attention to City of Boynton Beach Ordinance 08-
026 which was recently forwarded to you by the City Clerk under cover of her September
8, 2008 letter. The legislative findings of the City Commission as expressed in Whereas
clauses on pages 1 and 2 of the Ordinance. Please note in particular, these determinations
by the City Commission:
1. That the boundaries of the Community Redevelopment Area were amended on
November 8, 2000 by City Ordinance 00-59, wllich described the north and south
boundaries of the Community Redevelopment Area to be coterminous with the
City's nOl1h and south jurisdictional boundaries.
2. That subsequent to the adoption of Ordinance 00-59 annexed enclaves and other
property with the intent that those properties were to be treated as within the
Conununity Redevelopment Area.
3. That the enclaves that have been annexed into the City subsequent to the adoption of
Ordinance 00-59 shared, at time of annexation, the same characteristics as other
properties in the Community Redevelopment Area and that such areas were, at time
of armexation, slum areas, blighted areas, or areas in which there was a shortage of
housing that is affordable to residents of low or moderate income, including the
elderly or were coastal and tourist areas that were deteriorating or economically
distressed due to outdated building density pattems, inadequate transpOliation and
parking facilities, faulty lot layout or inadequate street layout, or a combination
thereof.
I ft.n1her draw your attention to the foHov.1ng language in the enactment portion of the
Ordinance:
F or purposes of establishing the base year from which tax increment increases shall be
calculated for the foregoing listed projects, the date of atUlexation of the property into the
jurisdictional boundaries of the City shall control as those properties were already in the
boundaries of the Community Redevelopment Area as described in Ordinance 00-59.
These legislative determinations and enactments of the City Commission are dispositive and
binding with respect to an evaluation of the effective date of the inclusion of the above
referenced properties in the Community Redeployment Area. In light of these
detenninations and enactments we believe that your role as Property Appraiser is ministerial
and that you are required to adjust your records to confonn to the City Commission's
detenninations.
I am requesting that you acknowledge your concurrence with the foregoing and provide

Re: Boynton Beach CRA
Dear Ms. Brooks,
I am responding to your request that for purposes of determining TIF eligibility, l1'lY office
use the year of annexation as the base year for the parcels described in City Ordinance 08-
026,
The boundaries of the Boynton Beach CRA were established in year 2000 by the adoption
of City Ordinance 00-59. Various parcels were subsequently added to the boundaries of
the CRA by Ordinance 08-026, adopted by the City Commission on August 19, 2008.
Because the City did not comply with all of the requirements under Chapter 193, Florida
Statutes, necessary to establish their CRA eligibility until August 2008, I am unable to
establish a base year for these parcels using the earlier dates of their annexation,
These parcels will be identified as part of the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment
Agency for the 2009 tax year.

Subject: Boynton Beach CRA Boundaries
In furtherance of our discussion, attached is a graphic depiction of six properties that were within the general boundaries of the
CRA at the time they were annexed by the City of Boynton Beach. The numbering relates to the Property numbers listed in Lisa
Bright's October 1, 2008 letter to Gary Nikolitis. Please let me know if you need any additional information regarding the CRA's
position that the determination and designation of the base year from which tax increment increases are calculated should be
calculated from the date of annexation as those properties were already in the boundaries of the CRA per City Ordinance 00-59.
Thank you.
