Lot 9, Downtown Entertainment District
CITY COMMISSION AGENDA MEMO
June 14, 2011
FROM:
Jason Hilgers, Assistant City Manager
MEETING:
June 21, 2011
SUBJECTS:
Lot 9, Downtown Entertainment District
PRESENTER:
Jason Hilgers, Assistant City Manager
BACKGROUND
On October 12, 2010, the City Commission received a presentation from a class of
Architecture at Kansas State University (KSU) outlining several options for the 4.5 acre
site. At the same time, City Administration gave an overview of the five interested
parties who had submitted letters of interest in developing all or a portion of Lot 9.
Interest submitted consisted of two hotel proposals, one residential, one multi-use
retail/residential/restaurant, and a theater.
On December 14, 2010, the City Commission received another presentation from
members of the KSU Architecture class with a preferred concept including the Colin
Noble two hotel proposal along with a mixed-use building with restaurant, retail, and
housing. The Commission also heard from a couple other interested parties/developers
who were advocating for a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. Both developers
expressed interest in other uses for Lot 9 including retail, residential, theaters, and
restaurants. The Commission directed City Administration to prepare a draft Request for
Proposals (RFP) soliciting proposals from developers as to the development of Lot 9.
On February 8, 2011, the City Commission received a presentation from City
Administration on the draft RFP for the development of Lot 9 within the South
Downtown Entertainment District. In addition, the City Commission also heard a
presentation from John Conderman representing Flint Hills Square, LLC (FHS). Mr.
Conderman reiterated the Noble proposal of two hotels within Lot 9 along with a mixeduse building consisting of a restaurant, retail, and residential uses.
Upon hearing both presentations, the Commission gave direction to City Administration
to work with FHS, to draft development agreements for the proposed two hotels and
mixed-use building on Lot 9.
On March 8, 2011, the City Commission held a work session on Lot 9 and received an
overview of the general sections of the draft agreement. FHS representatives also made a
brief presentation of their commitment to the project and reviewed the concept of two
hotels and a mixed-use building.
On May 10, 2011, the City Commission held another work session relative to Lot 9 and
again received an overview of the draft agreement. FHS reiterated their position on the
purchase price at $500,000 for three lots consisting of private development at 1.33 acres
(57,755 sq. ft.). This purchase price equates to an investment by FHS at $8.66 per sq. ft.
In addition to the purchase price for the land, FHS has agreed to submit benefit district
petitions to finance 75% of the publicly dedicated parking lots (3) within the proposed
Lot 9. The parking lots are estimated at $1,400,000 with private financing covering
$1,050,000, resulting in $350,000 (25%) to the City.
Although the parking lots will be owned by the City and available for both public and
private use, the draft agreement sets forth responsibility of maintaining the public parking
lots by FHS or the assigned owners of the three private lots. Major reconstruction work
is scheduled to be shared 75% (FHS) and 25% (City). This is similar to the relationship
the City shares with Manhattan Town Center.
DISCUSSION
On May 16, 2011, City Administration provided the City Commission with a financial
analysis in regard to revenues anticipated from FHS in comparison to what was
forecasted by Real Estate Research Consultants (RERC), the firm that completed the
revenue forecast for the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) and Sales Tax Revenue (STAR)
bond issues. As a result of this analysis, annual revenues for STAR bonds are reduced by
$214,874 annually primarily due to the reduction of retail and an increase in hotels, while
TIF revenues would increase by $254,822 annually, primarily due to the property tax
increase with the addition of the hotels.
Also as a result of the May 10, 2011, work session, the City Commission gave City
Administration direction to hire Strategic Advisory Group (SAG) to complete a market
analysis with respect to adding two hotels to the Manhattan market, and how these two
hotels located in close proximity would impact the use and success of the Manhattan
Conference Center and the Manhattan Hilton Garden Inn. SAG will be in attendance to
make a presentation to the City Commission on their findings.
The draft agreement is attached. Key points for consideration continue to revolve around
timing of improvements and sequencing of approvals from the City Commission.
The draft agreement is written in a way that will rezone the entire Lot 9 to a Preliminary
PUD consisting of two hotels, one mixed-use building, and three parking areas. The
rezoning would also include a Final Development Plan for the Candlewood Inn and
Suites. The draft agreement would transfer all three private lots at the completion of the
rezoning as described above, with only one property in a Final Development Plan for the
first hotel. Before the other two properties could be developed, the Developer would
have to obtain financing and those lots would have to have a Final Development Plan
approved for each lot. In order to ensure these lots would actually be developed within
the required time frames, there are liquidated damages provided, beginning in 2015, and,
in addition, the City has the option of getting the properties back, through a reversionary
clause. City Administration is seeking feedback specifically on the timeframe that should
be inserted to allow the developer to construct an improvement on the property. While
liquidated damages will begin in 2015, which implies the project hasn’t been completed
sometime in 2014, there is currently a blank in the agreement that indicates how long the
City will allow the developer to pay liquidated damages before the property actually
reverts to the City. Under the above described scenario, the property will have set vacant
for 2.5 years after this agreement is entered (June 2011 until December 2014). City
Administration would suggest a limited amount of time be allowed; perhaps a year or
two, then the property would revert either January 1, 2016, or January 1, 2017.
FINANCING
To date, discussions have centered on a negotiated purchase price and participation in
public infrastructure in and near Lot 9. As stated in the May 16, 2011, analysis, the FHS
proposal is anticipated to generate less revenue for STAR bonds annually, but about an
equal amount as projected to TIF revenues annually.
ALTERNATIVES
It appears the Commission has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Commission may:
1. Authorize City Administration to finalize and the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute the Development Agreement, and associated
documents with Flint Hills Square, LLC, et. al. for the redevelopment
of Lot 9.
2. Do not approve the measure.
3. Modify or develop alternatives if other concerns or factors arise.
4. Table the request.
RECOMMENDATION
City Administration recommends the City Commission provide feedback and direction
on any pertinent issues regarding the negotiations for the draft development agreement
for Lot 9 with Flint Hills Square, LLC. Options for the Commission include considering
this item a discussion item and postponing the action until a future date, or reaching a
consensus based on the findings of the SAG report and authorizing City Administration
to finalize the agreement and the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreement when
complete.
POSSIBLE MOTION
Authorize City Administration to finalize and the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the
Final Development Agreement and associated documents with Flint Hills Square, LLC,
et. al. for the redevelopment of Lot 9, Downtown Entertainment District.

FINAL DESIGN OF THE APPLICABLE PRIVATE/PUBLIC PROJECTS:
Prior to commencement of construction of the applicable Private Project on any lot, each

design shall be completed in two separate parts. One part shall consist of the final design of the
Applicable Private Project (the “Applicable Private Final Design”) and the second part shall

t
f
a
r
FINANCING OF PUBLIC PROJECTS:
The parties agree that the Public Projects shall be financed through the creation of benefit
districts, pursuant to K.S.A. 12-6a01, et. seq. In order to create such benefit districts, each
Assignee agrees to execute the applicable petitions (the “Petitions”) in the form attached as
Exhibits E, F and G. Such Petitions shall be executed prior to Closing of the Contract regarding
the Lots within the Concept Site Plan (the “Property”) and shall be deposited with the Escrow
Agent identified in the Contract. The Closing shall be contingent upon the execution and
delivery of the Petitions. The Escrow Agent shall be directed to deliver the Petitions to the City
at Closing.
D
Upon delivery to the City, the City Clerk shall hold such Petitions, in escrow, until the applicable
Assignee submits its application for a building permit to construct the applicable Private Project,
at which time the Applicable Petitions shall be deemed to have been submitted to the City for
action.
When submitted, the City agrees to accept the Petitions and approve Benefit Districts pursuant to
the Petitions, and pursuant to K.S.A. 12-6a01, et seq. The City, following acceptance of the
Petitions, agrees to follow its normal business process concerning the issuance of temporary
notes, which presently results in an issue every quarter of the year. Developer, and Assignees,
agree to accept creation of the Benefit Districts, pursuant to the petitions, and to pay any, and all,
assessments against the Benefit Districts, levied as a result of such action. Assignees further
hereby waive any right of protest, or right to challenge, any such assessments. Assignees agree
that their obligations set forth in this subparagraph shall run with the applicable property and be
binding upon the successors and assigns of each Assignee. In the event any Assignee sells, or
transfers, all, or any portion, of the Property, prior to the acceptance of the Petitions by the City,
said Assignee agrees to provide a copy of this Agreement to the purchaser, or transferee, of such
property, and to specifically notify said person, or entity, of the provisions of this section.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE PRIVATE PROJECTS; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES;
REVERSION
A.
Once title to the Property is transferred to each Assignee, said Assignee shall, at its
expense, construct or cause to be constructed, the Applicable Private Project, in accordance with
the Applicable Final Design and in the following sequence:
i. The Candlewood Project shall be constructed by Noble LLC and shall commence not
more than ___ months after Closing and shall be completed no longer than 15 months
after commencement of construction.
ii. The Holiday Inn Project shall be constructed by Noble Inc., and shall commence no
later than 15 months after Closing and shall be completed no longer than 15 months
after commencement of construction.
t
f
a
r
iii. The Mixed Use Project shall be constructed by GJL and shall commence no later than
____ months after Closing and shall be completed no longer than 15 months after
commencement of construction.
B.
The parties agree that if any Assignee, after receiving title to the Property, fails to
construct the Applicable Private Project within the time frames set forth above, the City will be
damaged and that damage is difficult, if not impossible, to calculate. In order to establish such
damage as a liquidated amount, and not as a penalty, and in order to provide security for each
Assignee’s performance of its obligations to construct the Applicable Private Project within the
time frames set forth above, the parties agree, as follows: For each year, subsequent to December
31, 2014, each Assignee agrees to pay to the City an amount equal to the difference between the
ad valorem taxes actually assessed against its Lot, and all improvements located thereon, and the
amount of such taxes that would have been assessed if the said Lot, and all improvements
located thereon, were valued, as follows: Lot 1----$4,633,384; Lot 2----$_______; and Lot 4---$_______. Such amount shall be due on June 1 of each applicable year and shall accrue interest
at the rate of 8% per annum if not paid within 30 days of the due date. The provisions of this
subsection shall be deemed to run with, and be a first and prior lien, upon the Applicable Lot and
be binding upon each Assignee, its successors and assigns. The provisions of this subsection may
be reflected in the deed of conveyance between the City and Developer concerning the Property.
D
C.
In the event any Assignee fails to commence substantial construction of the Applicable
Private Project on, or before _______________, title to the Applicable Lot shall revert to the
City free and clear of all encumbrances, at the City’s option. In order to exercise such option, the
City shall provide written notice to the Applicable Assignee declaring the date upon which such
reversion shall become effective, which shall not be sooner than 90 days following delivery of
such Notice, unless said Assignee commences substantial construction before such date. For the
purposes of this paragraph, substantial construction shall mean the following: a) Assignee has
provided the City with a written commitment from a lender, authorized to do business in Kansas,
showing that Assignee has sufficient funds to complete the construction; b) Assignee has applied
for, and been issued, a building permit to construct the Applicable Private Project; and c)
7
Assignee has provided written evidence to the City showing the Assignee has entered into a
contract with a contractor, licensed by the City, to construct the Applicable Private Project within
the required time frames. The provisions of this subsection shall be deemed to run with, and be a
first and prior lien, upon the Applicable Lot and be binding upon each Assignee, its successors
and assigns. The provisions of this subsection may be reflected in the deed of conveyance
between the City and Developer concerning the Property.
X.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE PUBLIC PROJECTS:
The parties agree that the Public Projects shall be constructed pursuant to the terms of the Public
Project Development Agreements, the form of which is attached as Exhibits B, C and D. The
Public Project Development Agreements shall be executed prior to Closing of the Real Estate
Contract and shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent identified in the Contract. The Closing
shall be contingent upon the execution and delivery of said Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall
be directed to deliver the executed Agreement to the City at Closing, said Agreement to become
effective at the time that such Assignee submits its application for final design for construction
of improvements on its lot and obtains City approval.
XI.
t
f
a
r
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF THE PARKING AREAS:
The City agrees that the parking areas constructed upon Lots 4, 5, and 6 as shown on Exhibit A
shall always remain public parking areas and each Assignee agrees to provide all maintenance
and repair of the parking areas, all pursuant to the terms of Parking Area Agreements, the form
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit H, I and J. The Parking Area Agreements shall be
executed prior to Closing of the Real Estate Contract and shall be deposited with the Escrow
Agent identified in the Contract. The Closing shall be contingent upon the execution and
delivery of said Agreements. The Escrow Agent shall be directed to deliver the executed
Agreements to the City at Closing.
D
Upon delivery to the City, the City Clerk shall hold such Parking Area Agreements until each
such Assignee submits its application for final design for construction of improvements on its lot
and obtains City approval, at which time the City Clerk shall record the Applicable Parking Area
Agreement with the Office of the Register of Deeds of Riley County, Kansas.

TRANSMITTAL NOTE

DATE:

TO:
City Commission
FROM:
Jason Hilgers, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Financial Analysis of Revenues for Flint Hills Square
The City is conducting an analysis of revenues anticipated from the two hotel and mixed
use proposal of Flint Hills Square (FHS). FHS is proposing two hotels, an 84 room
Candlewood Inn, and a 76 room Holiday Inn Express. Based on comparables in
Manhattan, we have valued the construction of each room at $75,000. We have also
assumed an average daily rate of $80 at 65% occupancy for 365 days with regard to
annual sales. Both of these valuations have been confirmed by FHS. Based on these
assumptions, the forecasted taxable sales per room on an annual basis equal $18,980.

$1,594,230

Holiday Inn Express

The mixed use building is comprised of 4,000 sq. ft. of retail and 6,000 square feet of
restaurant space. There are forecasted to be 12 residential units. The retail investment is
valued at $120 per sq. ft. or $480,000, and the restaurant investment is valued at $300 sq.
ft. or $1,800,000. The residential is valued at $85,000 per unit for a total of $1,020,000.
Retail sales per sq. ft. have been forecasted at $170 for retail and $340 for restaurants.
These are consistent throughout the RERC report as well. Taxable sales per square foot
have been discounted by 15% due to non-taxable sales that are made in retail and
restaurants. This is a consistent variable we have utilized throughout the project and with
RERC’s projections.

Based on State of Kansas and City of Manhattan sales tax rates, the following table
represents the annual revenues forecasted for the FHS proposed development for both
STAR and TIF Bonds. Keep in mind the State sales tax rate is currently 6.3% - but for
comparison purposes to the 2009 RERC report, 5.3% was utilized. Annual revenue
generated for STAR Bonds is estimated at $380,237 while the annual revenue generated
for TIF Bonds is $370,979.

The 2009 RERC report forecasted a total of 25,000 sq. ft. of retail and 14,000 sq. ft. of
restaurants for Lot 9. The report reflected a $120 per sq. ft. investment for retail resulting
in a total investment of $3,000,000. It also reported a $300 per sq. ft. investment for the
restaurants totaling an investment of $4,200,000. The report also forecasted $170 per
sq. ft. for retail sales and $340 per sq. ft. for restaurant sales. This resulted in a total of
$5,000,000 in annual sales for retail and $5,600,000 for restaurants. Annual revenue for
STAR bonds totals $595,111 and the 2011 annual property tax generated equaled
$116,157.

The City received serious interest and started negotiations with Warren Theaters to locate
within Lot 9 in 2008. They had proposed a 50,000 sq. ft. theater and had planned to
invest $300 per sq. ft. This would have resulted in a total investment of $15,000,000.
Annual sales were forecasted by RERC at $75 per sq. ft. for annual total of $3,750,000.
RERC also valued the property at $90 a sq. ft. for a total valuation of $4,500,000.
Annual revenues for STAR bonds totaled $247,688 while annual property tax totaled
$116,416.

In comparison, FHS will generate $214,874 less in STAR revenue and $254,822 more in
TIF revenue annually than the retail and restaurant space forecasted in the 2009 RERC
report.

In reviewing the debt schedules for both STAR and TIF bonds, STAR is forecasted to
retire in 2020 if revenues are generated as anticipated. Reducing the annual revenues in
STAR by $214,874 reduces the debt coverage ratio anticipated from 140% coverage to
135% coverage. Ultimately this could retire less principle on an annual basis and may
push the retirement out a year or two. The reduction in sales tax on the South end would
also impact TIF bonds in the out years. After the retirement of STAR bonds, local sales
tax from the South will transfer to assist with the retirement of the TIF bonds. As you
can see above, it is a difference of approximately $117,581 annually in local sales tax in
the 2009 RERC report, compared to the estimated $75,126 from the FHS proposal, or a
difference of $42,455.
TIF bonds are structured a little different due to the nature of the “B” bonds. With
additional revenue anticipated ($254,822) from the property taxes generated in the South
end it will assist in the creation of additional revenues in the short term and provide a
benefit back to the bond holders on the North end – including the City and Dial Realty. It
will be offset slightly due to the reduction in local sales tax ($42,455) mentioned in the
previous paragraph ($117,581 - $75,126) that will be dedicated to the TIF bonds after the
retirement of STAR bonds.

Yes. Although the market would be stronger
