PD21-001 Bluegrass Place
Prepared by:Kuleigh Baker
Meeting Date: December 16, 2021
Floodplain —The subject property is not within federally designated floodplain. A wetland area located
in the southeast corner of the property is under the jurisdiction of the U.S.Corps of Engineers.
Drainage Basin—The site is located in the Waterworks Basin.The Waterworks basin is a very large basin
in the city that handles tremendous flows during rain events. Flows from this basin incorporate
stormwater from residential and higher density commercial entities throughout the area. The basin
enters the river through two separate channels within the River Golf Club. The City has been
implementing a capital improvement project of storm sewers and roads to eliminate the flooding
problems that occur during heavy rainfalls.The improved infrastructure will improve conditions and are
intended to alleviate flooding problems in various sections of the basin. Portions of the subject property
have been eroded by commercial development upstream.
SECTION 6: STAFF EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS
Section 5.7.3.4 of the NADC prescribes the issues and factors that must be taken into account by the staff
and Planning Commission in the review of general development plans for proposed Planned
Developments. The following discussion addresses each of the findings listed in the NADC.
1. Type of PD proposed,physical characteristics of the land,relation of the proposed development to
surrounding areas and existing and probable future development.
The North Augusta Development Code requires Planned Development sites to be a minimum ten (10)
acres in area. The subject property is over thirty acres in size. The proposed development includes
multi-family dwellings adjacent to the existing North Augusta Elementary School and single family
attached and detached dwellings adjoining the existing single-family dwellings along Metz Drive.
Commercial and professional uses including a senior living development will be located closer to the
East Martintown Road frontage. Based on the proposed uses, general layout proposed, the
implementation of infill development and the interconnectivity of multiple developments with the
existing infrastructure, the proposed project generally complements the existing and anticipated
future mixed use development in the area.
2. Relation to major roads,utilities and other facilities and services.
Access to the parcel will be via a new road system extending from East Buena Vista Avenue and East
Martintown Road into the subject parcel.A proposed entrance aligning with Laurens Street is subject
to SCDOT approval. A curb cut from East Buena Vista Avenue to the site is existing as a result of the
Atomic Road widening project. City water is available adjacent to the site. City sanitary sewer is
available immediately adjacent to the site.
3. Adequacy of evidence of unified control and suitability of any proposed agreements, contracts,
deed restrictions, sureties,dedications, contributions,guarantees, or other instruments, or the
need for such instruments, ar for amendments in those proposed.

4. Compliance of the general development plan with the provisions of this Chapter, the suitability of
plans proposed,and the desirability of conditions on the approval, waivers,or amendments, if
any, with reasons therefore.
Plans proposed at this time are adequate for the purpose of General Development Plan approval.
5. Desirable specific modifications in regulations or the Comprehensive Plan as applicable in the
particular case based on determinations that such modifications are necessary or justified in the
particular case. Any recommended modifications shall be supported by demonstration that the
public purpose of the Comprehensive Plan,PD District or other regulations would be met to at
least an equivalent degree.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies the property as Mixed Use on the Future Land Use Map and the
proposed uses are consistent with the category. No modifications to the North Augusta
Development Code,Official Zoning Map,or the Comprehensive Plan are necessary to approve and
implement the Bluegrass Place General Development Plan.
Section 5.7.4 of the NADC, Approval Criteria, lists factors the Planning Commission should consider in
making its report to the City Council.
1. The relationship of the request to the Comprehensive Plan.
The Future Land Use Element of the city's Comprehensive Plan classifies the property as Mixed Use.
The Mixed Use classification allows for a variety of uses including most residential, commercial,
institutional, government, and religious uses. Areas adjacent to major arterial corridors are
appropriate for the mixed use classification and allows zoning districts with substantially different
standards to be located adjacent to each other. The proposed development provides multi-family
units,single family units,commercial uses,open space and a Greeneway extension to East Buena Vista
Avenue. The proposed General Development Plan is consistent with the Future Land Use Element of
the Comprehensive Plan.The proposed project is also consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies
for priority investment areas along Martintown Road.The vision for Martintown Road is new mixed
use development along major corridors in aging commercial areas, improved connectivity between
mixed use centers and surrounding neighborhoods, and new housing options integrated into new
mixed use centers.
2. Whether the request violates orsupports the Comprehensive Plan;
Based on the proposed uses, general layout, the implementation of infill development and the
interconnectivity of multiple developments with the existing infrastructure, the proposed project
generally supports the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Section 6.2 of the Comprehensive Plan
supports providing a more varied housing stock with mixed-income neighborhoods,providing housing

types at higher densities including multifamily apartments,and creating additional connections in the
existing street network to make North Augusta a more walkable city. The proposed road layout will
create a connection between two major corridor roads.
3. Whether the permitted uses would be appropriate in the area concerned.
The proposed development provides a mix of multi-family and single family residential uses as well
as senior living. The proposed residential uses provide additional housing options in this part of the
City. The General Development Plan has carefully considered the layout of commercial and
residential uses in relation to the surrounding neighborhood.Commercial uses are oriented adjacent
to the existing East Martintown Road and Knox Avenue commercial corridor. Open spaces and
green spaces provided in the plan allow additional recreational opportunities and will provide access
to the Greeneway at the River Club subdivision entrance. The proposed Planned Development is
compatible with surrounding area and existing developments.
4. Whether adequate public facilities such as roads, water and sewer facilities, drainage facilities,
and schools and other public services exist or can be provided to serve the needs of the
development.
There will be a nominal impact on schools and social services,although an accurate demographic
estimate is difficult because the ultimate mix of residents is not known. Additional review will be
conducted as part of the preliminary plat application and site plan stages to verify the impacts to the
existing utility services(sanitary sewer, potable water and storm sewer) and ensure compliance with
city,state, and federal requirements.

Bluegrass Planned Development
Project Description Narrative
November 16, 2021
Introduction
The Bluegrass development, is located between E. Martintown Road and E. Buena Vista Avenue
in North Augusta, South Carolina. The property is currently owned by"Martko-Aiken, LLC"
(the"Mealing Tract"), but is under contract for sale to"SC North Augusta E Martintown, LLC".
The property is made up of approximately 51.85 acres of vacant and primarily wooded land. A
primary spine road will run through the property between E.Martintown Road and E. Buena
Vista Avenue.
This planned development will incorporate market rate apartments, senior living facilities, single
family and townhome housing, as well as green space, adequate stormwater detention, and a
connection through to the North Augusta Greeneway to the south of the property.
Current Conditions
The Mealing Tract is currently zoned Planned Development, and the proposed Planned
Development is consistent with the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan of
North Augusta. The property surrounding the Mealing Tract is a combination of institutional,
residential, commercial, and vacant land.
A Phase 1 Environmental Report has been done on the property, as well as a subsequent Ground-
Penetrating Radar Report, which ultimately did not identify any underground storage tanks on
the site.
A wetlands area has been identified on the southeast comer of the property and is now under the
jurisdiction of the U.S. Corps of Engineers. A major drainageway created by significant
commercial development upstream has substantially eroded a portion of the property and
negotiations with the City of North Augusta are currently underway to resolve this issue,which
will also serve to solve additional stone water damage downstream.
Initial geotechnical exploration did not expose any soil conditions uncommon to this area.
Commercial Uses
While specific commercial uses are not known at this time,the plan calls for those services to be
developed along E. Martintown Road, consistent with uses currently found in that area. Some
combination of retail,restaurant, and professional office space will likely make up this portion of
the property.The owner of the Monterrey Restaurant which currently exists as an outparcel on E.
Martintown Road has been cooperative in the planning of this project.
Multi-Family Uses
The multi-family residential portion of the property is projected to include approximately 300
units. These are proposed to be market rate apartments with detached garages and an attractive
amenity package which will be professionally managed and maintained.
The target demographics are young professionals, service industry professionals(teachers,
nurses,medical technicians, and public service employees), military, families in transition, and
retirees.
Single-Family Residential
The single-family residential tract will contain approximately 137 units, with approximately 85
of those being townhome units, with the remaining 52 being detached homes. A Homeowners'
Association will be established to ensure residents meet the requirements of the covenants and
restrictions as well as pay their fair share to keep the common areas in pristine condition-
BUILDING SETBACKS
Building setbacks within the development will follow the North Augusta Development Code.
Building setbacks will be as follows: detached single-family will be treated as R-7, attached
single-family will be treated as R-5, Multi-family will be treated as R-5, and commercial lots
will have 20' front setbacks,0 or 5' side setbacks, and a 15' rear setback. Setbacks along E.
Martintown Road and E. Buena Vista Avenue will be consistent with existing structures through
those corridors.
Senior Living
The senior living component of the project will provide for roughly 100 units. The level of care
(from fully independent to assisted living)has not yet been determined for this specific use,but
the facility will be built and operated to a high standard of finish and care to meet the demands of
the market. The senior living facility will be operated by a professional management company.
Greenspace
The development has been designed to meet or exceed the greenspace requirements of the City,
and currently is proposed to include 4.2 acres,or 9 %of the property. A park is included in the
center of the project,stormwater ponds will be enhanced for aesthetic attractiveness, and a
network of sidewalks and walking trails will be provided to make a future connection to the
North Augusta Greeneway. A bike lane is also planned for the spine road that connects E.
Martintown Road with E. Buena Vista Avenue.
Traffic
Traffic generated by the proposed uses in the development do not require significant upgrades
given the capacity of the current road system to handle the increase in traffic. A northbound turn
lane on E. Martintown Road and a southbound turn lane on E. Buena Vista Avenue are
recommended improvements. (For details,please refer to the Traffic Impact Report from Ramey
Kemp &Associates, Inc.)The internal street system will be developed in general accordance
with the City of North Augusta Standards and Specifications. The streets and alleys will be
deeded to the City at the time of final plat.
Municipal Infrastructure
The development will have public water and sanitary facilities through proposed extension
associated with the development water mains at Martintown Road and E. Buena Vista should
provide adequate flow and pressure for the commercial and residential components. Sanitary
sewer currently exists along the western property line and along the E. Buena Vista right-of-way.
The development should gravity flow to the existing mains.
Stormwater runoff from the site will be collected by a series of catch basins and inlets and will
be conveyed via underground piping to the proposed pond areas or to underground detention
systems that may be developed during the course of detailed design.
Conclusion
The Bluegrass development complements the City of North Augusta Comprehensive Plan and
will bring a quality mixed-use development to this growing area of the City. New and existing
residents will have a myriad of choices that incorporate superior amenities, accessibility, and
recreational activities into their lifestyle. The Bluegrass project will be the last major parcel of
land to complete development along E. Martintown Road.
Overall Conceptual Design Plan
1.0 General
Bluegrass is a planned, mixed use development situated on 43.5 acres of land located at
the between E. Martintown Road and E. Buena Vista Avenue. This plot of land is already zoned
for a planned development,so a rezoning of the property will not be needed. The developer is
planning the following intended uses and areas: 11.1-acres for Multi-Family Apartments,6.1-
acres for a "Senior Living' development,3.0-acres for professional offices,5.2-acres for
commercial development,12.1-acres for single-family detached housing,and 6.0-acres for
single-family attached housing.
2.0 Circulation
A main roadway is proposed to run through the middle of the development connecting
with E. Martintown Road and E. Buena Vista at either end. All developments are planned to
have access to this main roadway. This main roadway is planned to have a 62' right-of-way with
one 12-foot lane in each direction, and a 12-foot middle turn lane. We propose a 4-foot bike
lane on one side of the road and 5-foot sidewalks and street trees on both sides of the roadway.
Typical roadway sections for the individual developments are shown on the General
Development Plan map and range from 24-foot right-of-way to 50-foot right-of-way. We have
provided a bike lane on the typical section for the 50-foot right-of-way,and sidewalks on either
side of the roadway for all typical sections excluding the typical alley section. A general sidewalk
path is shown on the Traffic-Pedestrian Circulation plan.
3.0 Sanitary Sewer Utility
An 8-inch sanitary sewer line runs along the western boundary of the site and flows
south towards E. Buena Vista Avenue where it ties-in to another sanitary sewer line that runs
along E. Buena Vista Avenue. We propose tying-in to the sanitary that runs along the western
boundary, and this tie-in point will be the sanitary sewer discharge for the entire site.
It is estimated that the sanitary sewer demand on an average day for the entire
development Is 157,255 gallons. During peak times throughout the year the daily demand is
estimated to be 314,510 gallons. To properly convey the peak demand,an 8"sewer line at a
minimum slope of 0.4%is necessary. Calculations for these estimated values are found in the
Appendix A.
4.0 Water Utility
There are water lines running along both E. Buena Vista Avenue and E. Martintown
Road. We propose an 8" water main running along the main roadway within the development
and tying-in at both ends to the two existing water lines. We have requested flow tests on both
existing lines and their results can be found in Appendix B.
It is estimated that the instantaneous water demand on an average day for the entire
development is 666.4 gallons per minute. During peak times the instantaneous demand is
estimated to be 1,332.8 gallons per minute. To properly distribute the peak water demand,an
8"waterline is proposed. Calculations for the proposed system can be found in Appendix B.

Ballpark Village Municipal Improvement District
City of North Augusta, South Carolina
Annual Assessment Report and
Amendment of the Assessment Roll for
2021-2022 Assessment Year
INTRODUCTION
The Ballpark Village Municipal Improvement District (the "Improvement District"), located
in the City of North Augusta, South Carolina (the "City"), was created by Ordinance No. 2016-23
(the "Improvement District Ordinance's enacted by the City Council of the City of North Augusta
(the"City Council") on February 6, 2017. The Improvement District Ordinance also authorized the
imposition of the Assessment(s) on the Assessed Property within the Improvement District and
approved an Assessment Roll listing the parcels in the Improvement District and the amount of the
Assessment imposed upon each such parcel. As more fully explained in the Report on the
Reasonable Basis of the Special Assessment, approved by the Improvement District Ordinance, the
Assessments were set to equal estimated tax increment finance revenues from the parcels of real
property within the Improvement District.
To defray the costs of public improvements to be provided for the Improvement District,
the North Augusta Public Facilities Corporation (the "Corporation'D issued its $69,450,000
installment purchase revenue bonds on May 16, 2017 (the "Series 2017B Bonds', pursuant to a
Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation adopted on February 20, 2017.
Simultaneously with the issuance of the Series 2017B Bonds, the City issued its $43,412,000 tax
increment financing obligation to the Corporation (the "2017 TIF Obligation'D. The 2017 TIF
Obligation constitutes a Borrowing as that term is defined in the Rate and Method of
Apportionment of Assessment, Appendix A of the Assessment Roll (the "Rate and Method'D. By
Ordinance enacted on February 6, 2017, the City Council approved the issuance of the Series 2017B
Bonds and the 2017 TIF Obligation and authorized the City to enter into the various documents and
instruments necessary to effectuate the issuance by the Corporation of the Series 2017B Bonds and
btu the City of the 2017 TIF Obligation.
The City previously established a tax increment finance district (the "TIF District") in
accordance with Title 31, Chapter 6 of the Code of Laws of South Carolina 1976,as amended,which
is also known as the Tax Increment Financing Law. The TIF District encompasses approximately
457 acres, including the Improvement District. Pursuant to the Tax Increment Financing Law, the
private projects in the Improvement District and other private projects within the TIF District are
expected to produce annual tax increment financing district revenues ("TIF Revenues') for the City
that will secure the 2017 TIF Obligation. In consideration for the Corporation issuing the Series
2017B Bonds and entering into the documents related thereto, the City issued the 2017 TIF
Obligation to the Corporation, and the Corporation in turn assigned all right, title and interest in the
2017 TIF Obligation to the trustee for the Series 2017B Bonds, which assignment caused the 2017
TIF Obligation to become part of the security for the Series 2017B Bonds. In accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in the documents relating to the Series 2017B Bonds,each payment by
the City of TIF Revenues pursuant to the 2017 TIF Obligation shall constitute dollar for dollar credit
against the City's obligation to make payments under the documents relating the Series 2017B Bonds.
The Assessments shall be billed on an annual basis in accordance with the Rate and Method.
Pursuant to the Rate and Method, the assessments on each Parcel within the Improvement District
1
are due and payable each year as the Annual Parcel Assessment. The sum of the Annual Parcel
Assessment for all Parcels equals the Annual Assessment. The Annual Assessment for each year is
shown in the updated Appendix B-2 of the Assessment Roll, attached to this report. Pursuant to the
Rate and Method, the portion of the Annual Parcel Assessment to be billed and collected shall be
calculated in each Assessment Year. In general, as further described below, in each Assessment Year
the Annual Parcel Credit shall be subtracted from the Annual Parcel Assessment for each Parcel; the
resulting amount shall equal the Annual Payment, which is to be billed and collected from the
Assessed Property in the Improvement District. The Annual Parcel Assessment, the Annual Parcel
Credit and the Annual Payment for each Parcel are shown in the updated Appendix B-1 of the
Assessment Roll,attached to this report.
In order to facilitate the collection of the Assessment, the City shall update Appendix B-1
and B-2 of the Assessment Roll each Assessment Year to reflect (i) the current Parcels in the
Improvement District, (ii) the Assessment for each Parcel, including any adjustments to the
Assessment as provided for in Section C; (iii) the Annual Assessment; (iv) the Annual Parcel
Assessment for each Parcel, (v) the Annual Payment to be collected from each Parcel for the current
Assessment Year, (vi)prepayments of the Assessment as provided for herein,and (vii) termination of
the Assessment as provided for herein.This report has been prepared to meet these requirements for
the 2021-2022 Assessment Year. Through its approval of this report, City Council is confirming the
Annual Payment and the updated Assessment Roll.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are defined in the Rate and Method.

The updated Appendix B-1, attached to this report, lists the Parcels in the Improvement
District for which the Annual Payment for the 2021-2022 Assessment Year may be billed.
The Citv is also unaware of any real property parcels created from subdivisions in calendar
year 2021. To the extent that any Parcel were created in 2021, such Parcels will be added to the
Assessment Roll for the 2022-2023 Assessment Year.
II-ASSESSMENT ON EACH PARCEL
The Assessment for each Parcel is shown on Appendix B-1, attached to this report. The
Assessment on each Parcel shown on Appendix B-1 has been updated in accordance with the Rate
and Method. In particular, the Assessment on each Parcel is reduced by the amount of the Annual
Parcel Assessment for the Parcel for the prior Assessment Year.
All Annual Payments from prior,years have been collected.
III -ANNUAL ASSESSMENT
The Annual Assessment for each Assessment Year is shown on Appendix B-2, attached to
this report.
As indicated above, the Annual Assessment is the sum of the Annual Parcel Assessment for

on Appendix B-1, attached to this report. The Annual Parcel Assessment for the Parcels for 2021-

The Annual Payment for each Parcel for the 2021-2022 Assessment Year is shown on
Appendix B-1,attached to this report.
The Annual Payment is defined in the Rate and Method as follows:

Parcel Assessment to be collected each Assessment Year calculated as
provided for in Section D."
As specified in Section D of the Rate and Method, the Annual Payment is calculated as
follows:
"First Step: The Administrator shall calculate the Annual Revenue Requirement If the
Annual Revenue Requirement is less than the Annual Assessment, the Annual Parcel
Assessment on every Parcel shall be decreased on a pro-rated basis such that the Annual
Assessment equals the Annual Revenue Requirement.
Second Step: The Administrator shall calculate the Tax Revenues for each Parcel in the
Improvement District. If the sum of the Tax Revenues for all Parcels is greater than or
equal to the Annual Assessment, then the Annual Payment for all Parcels shall equal zero
($0.00).
Third step: If the sum of the Tax Revenues for all Parcels is less than the Annual
Assessment, then the Annual Payment for each Parcel shall equal Parcel's Annual Parcel
Assessment less the Parcel's Annual Parcel Credit."
The remainder of this Section V describes the calculation of the Annual Payment pursuant
to steps described above.
First Step
As indicated above, the first step in the calculation of the Annual Payment is to compare the
Annual Revenue Requirement to the Annual Assessment. The Annual Assessment equals
$1,686,753.35.The Annual Revenue Requirement is defined in the Rate and Method as follows:
"The Annual Revenue Requirement means for any Assessment Year, the
sum of the following: (1) Debt Service Expenses and (2) Administrative
Expenses; less the sum of Other Available Funds and Other Ballpark
Village Revenues."
Table A below provides a calculation of the Annual Revenue Requirement for the 2021-
2022 Assessment Year. Each of these numbers is explained in the following sections.

Interest payment on April 15, 2022 $1,054,553.50
Interest payment on October 15,2022 $1,054,553.50
Principal payment on October 15,2022 $350,000.00
Subtotal Debt Service Expenses S2,459,107.00
Administrative Expenses 550,000.00
Subtotal expenses $2,509,107.00
Other Available Funds $0.00
Other Ballpark Village Revenues S0.00
Subtotal of available funds 50.00
Annual Revenue Requirement $2,509,107.00
Debt Semice Expenses
Debt service includes the semi-annual interest payments due on the 2017 TIF Obligation on
April 15, 2022 and on October 15, 2022. The interest payment on the 2017 TIF Obligation due on
April 15,2022 is 51,054,553.50 and the interest payment on the 2017 TIF Obligation due on October
15, 2022 is $1,054,553.50. There is a principal payment in the amount of $350,000.00 due for the
2017 Obligation on October 15, 2022. As a result, total debt service on the 2017 TIF Obligation is
$2,459,107.00.
Adminislralite Expenses
Administrative Expenses is defined in the Rate and Method as follows:
"Administrative Expenses means the actual or budgeted costs, as
applicable, directly related to the administration of the Improvement
District,which may include but are not limited to the following. the costs of
computing the Annual Payments; the costs of collecting the Annual
Payments (whether by the City or otherwise);the costs of the Administrator
in the discharge of their duties; the costs of the City of complying with
arbitrage rebate requirements; the costs of the City of complying with
securities disclosure requirements; and any other costs of the City in any
way related to the administration and operation of the Improvement
District, including, without limitation, the costs of legal counsel and other
consultants and advisors, and costs related to commencing foreclosure and
pursuing collection of delinquent Annual Payments,including contingencies
and reserves for Administrative Expense as deemed appropriate by the City
Council."
Estimated Administrative Expenses include payments to the trustee of the Series 2017B
Bonds, payments to the administrator of the Improvement District, legal fees for the Improvement
District and miscellaneous expenses for the administration of the Improvement District, including
4
but not limited to expenses related to the collection of the Annual Payment and other expenses of
the City. The annual charges of the trustee are estimated to be$5,000.00. The estimated annual total
of the Administrative Expenses from the administrator of the Improvement District and from
attorneys which assist the City with the Improvement District is $40,000.00. Miscellaneous
Administrative Expenses are estimated to be $5,000.00. Accordingly, total Administrative Expenses
for the 2021-2022 Assessment Year are estimated to be$50,000.00.
01berAvailable Funds
Other Available Funds is defined in the Rate and Method as follows:
"Other Available Funds means capitalized interest, interest earnings on any
trust account in connection with the Borrowings and any other funds
deposited to a trust account in connection with the Borrowings that are
available to meet the Annual Revenue Requirement in any given
Assessment Year."
The City has indicated that as of January 21,2022 there are no other funds available to meet
the Annual Revenue Requirement and therefore Other Available Funds equals zero($0.00).
Otber Ballpark Village Revenues
Other Ballpark Village Revenues is defined in the Rate and Method as follows:
"Other Ballpark Village Revenues means legally available funds determined
on an annual basis potentially beginning in the 6th Assessment Year that
result from parcels of real property or activity within the Improvement
District and are designated as "Other Ballpark Village Revenues" by City
Council, in its sole discretion, by resolution to meet the Annual Revenue
Requirement in any given Assessment Year."
In that the 2021-2022 Assessment Year is prior to the 61h Assessment Year, Other Ballpark
Village Revenues equals zero($0.00).
As shown in Table B above, the Annual Revenue Requirement equals $2,509,107.00. This
amount is greater than the Annual Assessment of $1,686,753.35. As such, the potential resulting
action of the fast step (to reduce the Annual Parcel Assessment on a pro rata basis, as explained
above)is not implemented.
Second Step
As indicated above, the second step in the calculation of the Annual Payment is to compare
the sum of the Tax Revenues for all Parcels to the Annual Assessment. The Annual Assessment
equals$1,686,753.35.
Tax Revenues is defined in the Rate and Method as follows:
"Tax Revenues means for each Parcel the actual or estimated annual real
property tax revenues expected to be collected for the specific Assessment
Year and available to be applied to the repayment of the Borrowings,
pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan and as described in the Development
Agreement. The calculation of the Tax Revenues for each Parcel will
5
exclude (1) any deductions for the base assessed value of the tax increment
finance district or the base assessed value of the Parcel or the Parcel's
parent parcel at the creation of the tax increment finance district and (2)
other tax revenues that are not available for the Redevelopment Plan."
The calculation of the Tax Revenues for each parcel is shown in Appendix C, attached to
this report. As further explained on Appendix C, the calculation of the Tax Revenues utilizes the
following information:
• The assessed value of the Parcels as provided by the Aiken County Tax Assessor
• A total millage rate of$0.2724 per$1 of assessed value.
As shown in Appendix C, the sum of the Tax Revenues for all Parcels equals $1,388,093.22,
which is less than the Annual Assessment of $1,686,753.35. As such, the potential result of the
second step (that the Annual Payment for all Parcels equals zero)is not implemented.
Third Step
Following the determination made above for the second step, the third step in the
calculation of the Annual Payment is required.The third step is to subtract the Annual Parcel Credit
from the Annual Parcel Assessment for each Parcel. The Annual Parcel Credit is defined in the Rate
and Method as follows:
"Annual Parcel Credit means for each Parcel in each Assessment Year the
Parcel's Tax Revenues; provided, however, that the Annual Parcel Credit
for a Parcel in any Assessment Year shall not exceed the Parcel's Annual
Parcel Assessment"
Appendix C provides the Annual Parcel Credit for each Parcel, as well as a calculation of the
Annual Payment for the 2021-2022 Assessment Year for each Parcel.As shown on Appendix C, the
Annual Parcel Credit equals the Annual Parcel Assessment for six Parcels (the Parcels identified by
Aiken County as 007-14-19-001, 007-18-05-004, 007-18-05-006, 007-18-05-007, 007-18-05-008 and
007-17-002-03) (and excluding all Parcels for which the Annual Parcel Assessment equals zero),
which results in an Annual Payment of zero ($0.00) for these six Parcels. As shown on Appendix C,
the sum of the Annual Payment for all Parcels in the Improvement District equals $747,028.00,
which is distributed amongst thirteen Parcels.
The Annual Payment to be billed and collected from the thirteen Parcels of Assessed
Property in the Improvement District(as described above and shown on Appendix C),shall be billed
on the City's annual real property tax bill and collected by the City as the property owner makes
payment of the entire amount due (inclusive of the Annual Payment), as indicated on the real
property tax bill.
VI- PREPAYMENTS OF THE ASSESSMENT
As of the date of this report,there has been no prepayment of the Assessment.
VII-TERMINATION OF THE ASSESSMENT
The Rate and Method specifies the following regarding the termination of the Assessment.
"Except for any delinquent Annual Payments and related penalties and interest, the
Assessment on each Parcel may not be collected for a term exceeding the earlier of(a) the
6
final maturity of the Borrowings and (b) the date on which such Assessment is prepaid in
full as provided for herein."
The final maturity of the 2017 TIF Obligation is October 15,2046.As indicated above,there
have been no prepayments of the Assessment As such, there has been no termination of the
Assessment on any Parcel.
