BRA Agenda Item IV.A
Muskegon Brownfield Development Authority
Agenda Item IV-A for 3-14-23
Adelaide Pointe QOZB, LLC, 1148 and 1204 West Western Ave.
Adelaide Pointe Project
Brownfield Plan Amendment, 2nd Amendment
Requesting party: Adelaide Pointe QOZB, LLC
Outline of the request: Adelaide Pointe QOZB, LLC has submitted a Brownfield Plan
Amendment (2nd Amendment) for the Adelaide Pointe Project – a 35-acre mixed use waterfront
development project including winter boat storage, marina space, In/Out forklift boat storage,
commercial/retail, and up to 400 housing units.
This 2nd Amendment BPA has been prepared due to the developer no longer seeking the City of
Muskegon’s bonds to pay for eligible costs related to public infrastructure. The developer will
pay for the following public infrastructure costs: public roadways, a reconfiguration of West
Western Ave, as well as water main, sanitary sewer and storm sewer utilities. The city will not
be bonding, paying for, or constructing any assets. This will cause a shift in the Brownfield Tax
Increment Funds to allow for the developer to receive 100% reimbursement for eligible
activities.
Background: The project seeks to transform the 35-acre site into a development that will
expand public access to waterfront activities through the creation of a 280-slip marina, up to
400 new residential condominium units, dry stack marina and boat storage, and
commercial/retail space. Plans for the site have begun and will continue through Fall 2030.
Total private investment, not including property acquisition, is approximately $250 million.
Staff comments: The initial Brownfield Plan Amendment was approved by the BRA on Oct. 12,
2021 and City Commission on Oct 26, 2021. The 1st Amendment to the BPA was approved by
BRA on Dec. 13, 2022 and by City Commission on Jan. 10, 2023.
Staff recommendation: City staff has reviewed the Adelaide Pointe Project Brownfield Plan
Amendment (2nd Amendment) and recommends approval.
Suggested motion: I move to approve/disapprove the resolution for the Brownfield Plan
Amendment (2nd Amendment) for the Adelaide Pointe Project and further request staff to set a
public hearing before the Muskegon City Commission to consider adoption of the plan.

(“Development”). The specific improvements to be included in the Development will be defined in the
Cooperative Use Agreement, addendums to this Agreement and the Planned Unit Development Agreement

7. Funding for Brownfield Reimbursements.
a. Brownfield Tax Increment Financing. APQ has submitted to the Authority an
amendment to the current brownfield plan. Pursuant to the Brownfield Redevelopment
Financing Act, Act 381 of the Public Acts of Michigan of 1996 as amended (“Act
381”) the Authority adopted the brownfield plan amendment on October 12, 2021 (the
“Brownfield Plan Amendment”) to add the APQ Property.
i. The Property is included in the Brownfield Plan Amendment as an “eligible
property” because it is a “facility” as defined by Part 201 of the Natural
Resources and Environmental Protection Act (“Part 201”).
ii. Neither the City nor APQ is a liable party, under Part 201, for remediation of
any existing contamination on the Property.
iii. APQ has and will continue to conduct Eligible Activities (as defined in Act
381) on the Property to address environmental and other brownfield
conditions, in addition to the construction of roads, water mains and sewer
mains, in a collaborative effort to position the Property for redevelopment.
Actual expenditures by the Parties to undertake eligible environmental
activities on the Property are estimated to be $35 million dollars not including
2
interest. Eligible demolition and site preparation costs incurred by these same
parties is estimated to exceed $13 million dollars. These efforts are aimed at
facilitating the redevelopment of the Property as a transformational mixed-use
project, including residential and various commercial uses (the “Project”).
iv. The Project will include demolition activities, performance of baseline
environmental assessment activities, due care and other environmental
response activities, site preparation activities, demolition activities,
construction of infrastructure improvements, Brownfield Plan Amendment
and work plan preparation, contingency, interest and other Eligible Activities,
all as described in the Brownfield Plan Amendment and eligible for
reimbursement under Act 381.
v. The cost of Eligible Activities may be incurred by the City and APQ, The total
cost of the Eligible Activities in the Brownfield Plan Amendment, including
contingencies, is estimated to be $35 million dollars (the “Total Eligible
Brownfield TIF Costs”). To accommodate the lapse in time from when costs
of Eligible Activities are incurred to when tax increment revenues become
available for reimbursement of those costs, interest at the rate of 5% per annum
is also included in the Brownfield Plan Amendment in the estimated total
amount of $28 million dollars (collectively, the interest plus the costs of
Eligible Activities are referred to as the “Total Eligible Brownfield TIF
Costs”).
vi. The Eligible Activities will facilitate redevelopment of the Property which will
improve the environmental and aesthetic condition of the Property, increase
employment within the City, increase tax base within the City, and otherwise
enhance the economic vitality, environmental health and quality of life in the
City.
vii. Act 381 permits the Authority to capture and use the school tax (where
applicable), if permitted by the state, and local property tax revenues (both real
and personal property) generated from the incremental increase in property
value of a redeveloped brownfield site constituting an “eligible property”
under Act 381 to pay or to reimburse the cost of Eligible Activities conducted
on the “eligible property” (the “Brownfield TIF Revenue”).
viii. In accordance with Act 381, the parties desire to establish a procedure for using
the available Brownfield TIF Revenue generated from the Property to
reimburse APQ for completion of Eligible Activities on the Property in
amounts not to exceed the Total Eligible Brownfield TIF Costs.
ix. During the Term (defined below) of this Agreement, the Authority shall
reimburse APQ for the cost of Eligible Activities conducted on the Property
from the Brownfield TIF Revenue collected from the Property in accordance
with the Brownfield Plan Amendment, unless modified by later addendums or
amendments. The amount reimbursed to the APQ for the Eligible Activities
shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the cost of Eligible Activities incurred by the
Property Owner plus interest, or (b) the Total Eligible Brownfield TIF Costs
plus interest. The Authority shall capture Brownfield TIF Revenue from the
Property and reimburse APQ for the cost of Eligible Activities incurred until
3
the earlier of being fully reimbursed or December 31, 2056 (“Term”). If the
Term ends before the full reimbursement of all Total Eligible Brownfield TIF
Costs, the last reimbursement payment by the Authority shall be the summer
and winter tax increment collected during the final year of this Agreement.
x. Reimbursement payments shall be made on a semi-annual basis as incremental
local and school taxes are captured and available.
xi. During the term of this Agreement, the Authority shall capture all approved
and authorized Brownfield TIF Revenue from the Property and use those
revenues as provided in this Agreement.
xii. Intentionally left blank.
xiii. Reimbursement Process.
1. APQ shall periodically submit to the Authority a “Request for Cost
Reimbursement” of Eligible Activities paid for by APQ during the
term of this Agreement. All costs for the Eligible Activities must be
consistent with the approved Brownfield Plan Amendment. APQ must
include documentation sufficient for the Authority to determine
whether the costs incurred were for Eligible Activities, including
detailed construction draws or invoices and proof of payment or lien
waivers. Copies of all invoices for Eligible Activities must note what
Eligible Activities they support.
2. Within forty-five (45) days after a Request for Cost Reimbursement
has been reviewed and approved by the City’s or Authority’s agent or
employee as required in Section 7.a and reviewed and approved by the
Authority or designate as to whether it is an “eligible expense”, the
Authority shall pay to APQ the amounts for which submissions have
been made pursuant to this Agreement. The Authority’s obligation to
pay APQ is limited to available Brownfield TIF Revenue from the
Property.
3. All requests for Cost reimbursement submitted by APQ for each
approved Addendum between City, APQ, and the City of Muskegon
Brownfield Redevelopment Authority and all requests for cost
reimbursement submitted by future owners of all or a portion of the
APQ Property pursuant to a separate Development and
Reimbursement Agreement(s), shall be reimbursed in the order in
which they are received by the City of Muskegon Brownfield
Redevelopment Authority from the portion of the Brownfield TIF
revenue, as described above.
4. The Parties shall cooperate with the Authority’s review by providing
information and documentation to supplement the Request for Cost
Reimbursement which may be reasonably requested by the Authority
during its review period.
4
5. All or any portion of any Request for Cost Reimbursement that is not
paid within 45 days after receipt by the Authority shall accrue simple
interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the date the
Request for Cost Reimbursement is submitted to the Authority for
payment until the earlier of the date of full reimbursement, including
interest. The payment of interest shall be subject to the following
limitations (i) to the extent there is not sufficient Brownfield TIF
Revenue captured and collected in a fiscal year and permitted to be
used to pay interest accruing in such fiscal year, any unpaid interest
shall not be paid, but shall carry over to the next fiscal year, (ii) interest
carried over to subsequent fiscal years shall not accrue interest (i.e.,
no interest on interest), and (iii) interest on School Taxes captured
shall only be payable to the extent permitted by the Michigan Strategic
Fund (“MSF”) and/or the Michigan Department of Environment,
Great Lakes and Energy (“MEGLE”).
6. The Authority shall have no obligation to reimburse the City or any
other entity for Eligible Costs or interest from Brownfield TIF
Revenue captured after 35 years after the date of the adoption of the
Development and Reimbursement Agreement.
xiv. Allocation of Base Value and Priority of Reimbursements.
1. The initial taxable value of the Property as of the date of this
Agreement is $903,810, as set forth in the Brownfield Plan
Amendment (“Base Value”). If the Property is divided into two or
more separate taxable parcels in connection with the development of
the Project, the Base Value shall be allocated to each resulting parcel
based upon the relative number of square feet of each parcel. The Base
Value allocated to a separate undeveloped parcel in this manner shall
be the base value of that parcel for purposes of calculating Brownfield
TIF Revenue, regardless of when any Development and
Reimbursement Agreement is entered into in connection with the
redevelopment of that parcel. Brownfield TIF Revenue generated
from any separate parcel divided from the Property after the date of
this Agreement shall be available for reimbursement of the
Authority’s Administrative Fee and payment of all requests for cost
reimbursement submitted by owners of all or any portion of the
Property.
2. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Authority’s annual TIF Management Administrative Fee, as described
in the Brownfield Plan Amendment, shall be paid to the Authority
each year to the extent that Brownfield TIF Revenue has been captured
and collected during that year, prior to the payment of any Request for
Cost Reimbursement.
xv. Adjustments.
5
1. Until the cost of eligible activities is fully reimbursed, APQ agrees to
waive any appeal of any tax assessment or reassessment of any portion
of the Property; provided, however, that this waiver shall not be
binding on any person or entity who acquires title to all or any portion
of the Property after the date of this Agreement.
2. If, due to an appeal of any tax assessment or reassessment of any
portion of the Property, or for any other reason the Authority is
required to reimburse any Brownfield TIF Revenue previously paid to
APQ or any future owner to any tax levying unit of government, the
Authority may deduct the amount of any such reimbursement,
including interest and penalties, from any amounts due and owing
APQ. If all amounts due APQ under this Agreement have been fully
paid or the Authority is no longer obligated to make any further
payments to APQ, the Authority shall invoice APQ for the amount of
such reimbursement and APQ shall pay the Authority such invoiced
amount within 45 days of receipt of the invoice. Amounts invoiced
and paid to the Authority by APQ pursuant to this Section shall be
reinstated as Eligible Activities for which APQ shall have the
opportunity to be reimbursed in accordance with the terms, conditions
and limitations of this Agreement.
xvi. Legislative Authorization.
This Agreement is governed by and subject to the restrictions set forth in Act
381. If there is legislation enacted in the future that alters or affects the amount
of Brownfield TIF Revenue subject to capture, eligible property, or Eligible
Activities, then the Property Owner’s rights and the Authority’s obligations
under this Agreement shall be modified accordingly as required by law, or by
agreement of the parties.

Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given: (i) when delivered in person; (ii)

Agenda item A for 3-14-23
Acceptance of financial statement Feb. 28, 2023
Requesting party: City Economic Development
Outline of request: Staff is asking the DDA board to review and accept the financial statements
for the DDA and events for Feb. 28, 2023.
Background: There is no change in financial condition of the DDA since your Feb. 14, 2023
meeting. The second to last column on the right of the DDA financial statement now reflects
the updated FY 2022-23 budget and the increase in tax increment revenues as approved in
December. The events budget has about $100,000 in fund balance going into the 2023 event
season with Michigan Makers Market, Taste of Muskegon and the Lakeshore Art Festival.
Staff comments: The staff comments are the same as last month. The Feb. 28 DDA totals
includes a $25,207 streetscape expenditure for Christmas decorations and an approved $5,000
contribution GLOW the board approved in December. The $19,207 expenditure over budget
will be balanced by an under expenditure in marketing. The budget now also reflects your
$25,000 contribution to Parkland Development for environmental study of the Shaw-Walker
building before it was purchased and $34,750 for Pigeon Hill’s sidewalk and entry. The façade
grant program has committed $30,000 but yet to receive any request for payment.
Staff recommendation: To accept the Feb. 28, 2023 DDA and events financial statements.
Suggested motion: I move to accept the Feb. 28, 2023 DDA and events financial statements.

Agenda item B for 3-14-23
Approval of a DDA façade grant – The Early Owl
Requesting party: City Economic Development
Outline of request: After staff and DDA committee recommended approval, staff is asking for
approval of a façade grant for $15,000 for The Early Owl, 451 W. Western.
Background: The façade program has requests of more than $10,000 to be reviewed by staff,
DDA committee (which is Brad Hastings currently) and approved by the DDA board. The Early
Owl request is for an exterior lift at the back of the business for ADA accessibility to a rooftop
bar/deck. The $59,000 cost qualifies for a $15,000 maximum grant. The Early Owl is the latest
restaurant the Hissom family – owners of Dr. Rolf’s -- is doing in downtown Muskegon. The
building was recently the Core Real Estate offices and now will be a family restaurant with
breakfast through dinner and a bar.
Staff comments: The DDA has received strong interest in the façade grant program that has
$62.500 the current fiscal year budget. You have approved Carlisle’s and No Name Saloon at
$15.000 each and have $32,500 left in the program. If the Early Owl is approved, there would
be $17,500 left in the program that is authorized through June 30 of this fiscal year. No grantee
has request payment yet.
Staff recommendation: Development Services Division and Brad Hasting are recommending
approval of The Early Owl façade grant at $15,000. The Hissoms are current on all financial
obligations to the city.
Suggested motion: I move to approve a $15,000 façade grant for The Early Owl, require the
business to obtain all city approvals for the historic district, form-based code and building
permits, remain current on city financial obligations, directing staff to execute the grant award.
