I. INTRODUCTION
This report is prepared as part of the feasibility analysis conducted by Economic Development Partners, LLC, a professional
economic impact, and development firm providing various market studies, and financial feasibility services in the Midwest. The study
was contracted for the Platteville Public Library and the City of Platteville for the Library Block located between Main and Pine streets
in Downtown Platteville. The report is intended to provide the Platteville Library Board, the City of Platteville and the Advisory team,
which includes the University of Wisconsin – Platteville Foundation and the Mainstreet program, with a preliminary analysis of the
redevelopment feasibility for this mixed-use project. As an accredited Mainstreet Community JD Milburn, Downtown Development
Specialist, WEDC, who provides assistance to Mainstreet and Connect communities assisted with financial modeling.
This report contains an analysis of the redevelopment potential and feasibility within the Platteville Library Block ‘Redevelopment
study area.’ The map in Section VII shows the project boundaries and the conceptual redevelopment TIF area.
The tables that are contained in Sections VIII, IX and X of the document show projected development increments, development
absorption rates, and projected public infrastructure/parking costs. This data and assumptions will be used to calculate the feasibility
of creating a multi-use redevelopment project within the study area.

II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Platteville is a vibrant City in the southwestern part of the state with varying and diverse opportunities for
economic growth. With intentional focus and bold leadership, the City’s economic development efforts on this
redevelopment project will eliminate the blighted conditions that currently exist and will generate measurable results with
positive impacts for Platteville Public Library, businesses, residents and the University of Wisconsin - Platteville. The work
the Platteville Library Board, the City of Platteville and the Advisory team is undertaking has the beginning of an innovative way
of thinking, but it must be kept fresh and alive with big ideas and collaborative action fostering a ‘win-win’ outcome for all the
business partners involved in the project.
The organizational structure of Platteville’s economic development eco-system and the utilization of an extended
partnership of community stakeholders have facilitated strong collaboration on this project and visionary thinking for the
sake of growth for the area as well. Platteville’s economic development eco-system provides Platteville with the structure
to implement a variety of projects in an effective manner utilizing a flexible, forward thinking and structured process.
Business Retention and Expansion, Business Recruitment and Entrepreneurial Development formulate the basis of most
community economic development programs. The City should continue to focus efforts on business retention and
expansion as part of this project, with a majority of effort focused on this valuable downtown area. Business Attraction
should be targeted toward complementing existing businesses that are located downtown and focusing on emerging
businesses that would provide the amenities that the residents and visitors to the Library Block would desire or require to
insure a high quality of life. Many of the opportunities may result from cultivating an environment of entrepreneurism and
innovation and identifying strong business operators.
Working on the City’s physical appearance and appeal on this downtown city block is critical, since it is currently a
‘blighted’ area with a distressed appearance. Downtown development and city-wide redevelopment including code
enforcement is work that is necessary now and will pay dividends long into the future. Blight elimination is an important
element to Platteville’s community and economic health. It’s much easier to market the City when it is attendant to blight
issues before deterioration spreads like a virus.
Marketing Platteville is an area of recommended activities which must be viewed as an investment of time and money,
rather than an expense. The City has many wonderful stories to tell, from the high level of care, health and wellness that
5. Platteville Library Block Feasibility Study – July, 2013 Page 4
Economic Development Partners | www.edpwi.com
take place within the medical community to the high level of education, training and research that take place within the
public, private and post-secondary education sectors, to the business innovation that takes place within the community,
including cheese and food processing operations and the growing sustainable agriculture activities.
The success of the implementation of this redevelopment project is predicated upon leadership and bold vision for what
Platteville could become with the right direction and collaborative effort.
Recommendations:
1. Maintain the Platteville Public Library as the ‘anchor’ of this redevelopment project, as it will support the success of
the other business entities within the development, especially the Retail/Commercial pieces of the redevelopment.
2. The Financial Feasibility Study shows that the construction of the new, expanded Platteville Public Library and the
parking to support its patrons is ‘feasible’ – The goal of the project is to use the 198,730 square feet and approximately
$38 million redevelopment project to pay for an additional 12,000 square foot of public library space and applicable
additional operating expenses. We recommend a ‘go’ decision.
3. The Student Housing portion of the redevelopment project is ‘feasible’ based on market and financial absorption
rate due to the increasing enrollment at the University of Wisconsin – Platteville. We recommend a ‘go decision.’
4. The Extended Stay Hotel portion of the redevelopment project is ‘not feasible’ based on the $10 million, 70 – unit
proposed development. We recommend that the Extended Stay Hotel should be ‘right – sized’ to become market and
financially feasible. Optimal Hotel project is estimated at $5 Million, 35,000 sq. feet at 600 sf./unit which would equate to an
approximately 60-unit hotel.
5. At a projected construction cost of over $7.4 million for the parking needed to support this project, the parking stalls required
to support each Business/Organization, will have to be allocated into the overall construction costs of each Business Unit
within the project. Debt service, maintenance and associated operating costs would be incorporated into parking leases for
the project.
6. The project would generate additional tax base of $30 million TIF financing value of $13,760,039 over 20 years.
7. It is estimated that the project would create over 41 new jobs.

III. PROJECT OVERVIEW & GOALS
Upon completion, the new Platteville Library Block Redevelopment project will occupy an estimated 228,230 square foot of space
and will include 19,130 square-feet of commercial/retail, 118,000 square-feet of student housing, 84 student residential units with 336
beds, 58,000 square-feet of an Extended Stay Hotel (60 units), 7,500 square-feet for the Neighborhood Health Partners clinic for low
to moderate clients/families and Platteville Public Library’s 22,000 square-foot state-of-the-art Library facility. As one of Platteville’s
first in-fill redevelopment sites, the new Platteville Library Block Redevelopment project will serve as a model for future in-fill
projects.
The Platteville Library Block Redevelopment project is large and extensive. Using multiple real estate uses, the goal is to create
economic, financial and social feasibility.
The goal of the project is to use 198,730 square foot of space to pay for an additional 12,000 square foot of public library space and
applicable additional operating expenses. The project space utilization is broken down as follows (Subject to change):
Proposed Feasible
Student Housing 117,600 117,600
Hotel 70,000 58,000
Bank 4,850 3,000
Health Clinic 6,065 7,500
Foundation 1,000 1,000
Library 18,000 22,000
Commercial 22,630 19,130
Total 240,145 228,230

Development Issues and Objectives
1. Construct a landmark commercial/multi-use structure that incorporates the Platteville Public Library on the city block located
between Main and Pine streets in Downtown Platteville
2. Develop attractive architectural building design and streetscape that will eliminate the blighted conditions of the Downtown
city block and enhance economic redevelopment and vitality of the area
3. Create a “live - work” neighborhood with amenities that will encourage Junior and Senior students at the UW - Platteville to
want to live here
4. Identify high-quality retail/commercial tenants for the development that reinforce the vision of the redevelopment and ensure
and an optimal quality of life – this will add value to the rental fees for the student housing
5. Incorporate adequate parking stalls, both above and underground to support the businesses, activities and residents residing
on the block. Work with the Platteville City Council, City Manager and City Planner to accomplish this
6. Incorporate the Platteville Public Library and its functions into the redevelopment – Utilize the tax increment from the project
to fund the 12,000 square-foot expansion of the Library
7. Respect and enhance the look and feel of the Downtown Platteville neighborhood – while enhancing the services and
amenities for the residents of the area
8. Construct a drive-up for the Library and the Health clinic for services for their patrons. Assist the Platteville Public Library in
relocating their facility to the new site. The relocation would occur through a planned and organized transition.
IV. KEY DEFINTIONS AND SECTION OUTLINES
Each of the sections of the report contains market data, a financial feasibility overview, and risk mitigation strategies. The
subsections are defined as follows:
Market Feasible: This area will describe some of the proprietary study that was engaged to determine the size and
absorption of the market and whether it would support the venture.
Financially Feasible: Based on proprietary market data and financial analysis, we will make recommendations as to
whether the project should be a ‘go-no go’ strategy and a likely chance of being able to proceed financially.
Risk Mitigation Strategies: In each section, we make recommendations on ways in which risk can possibly be mitigated
through legal or contractual means.
For each section, objective information will be provided to assist with decision – making on each part of the project.
8. Platteville Library Block Feasibility Study – July, 2013 Page 7

Definitions:
Absorption Rate: The rate at which available homes are sold in a specific real estate market during a given time period. It is
calculated by dividing the total number of available homes by the average number of sales per month. The figure shows how
many months it will take to exhaust the supply of homes on the market. A high absorption rate may indicate that the supply of
available homes will shrink rapidly, increasing the odds that a homeowner will sell a piece of property in a shorter period of time.
Absorption: The rate, expressed as a percentage, at which available space in the marketplace is leased during a
predetermined period of time. Also referred to as "Market Absorption".
Market Study: A forecast of future demand for a certain type of real estate project that includes an estimate of the square
footage that can be absorbed and the rents that can be charged. Also called “Marketability Study.”
Capitalization: A method of determining value of real property by considering net operating income divided by a predetermined
annual rate of return.
Capitalization Rate: The rate that is considered a reasonable return on investment (on the basis of both the investor's
alternative investment possibilities and the risk of the investment). Used to determine and value real property through the
capitalization process. Also called “free and clear return.”
V. KEY METRICS FOR PERFORMANCE
There are numerous ways to measure performance in economic development related activities. The two most common
measurements are 1) jobs created and 2) tax base generated. Additionally, the work of economic development practitioners can be
measured by a variety of other metrics, several of which are listed below by category. The Platteville Library Board, the City of
Platteville and the Advisory team should determine the top desired measurements/benchmarks and expect periodic reports based on
performance against the identified goals.

VII. LIBRARY BLOCK REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Redevelopment is a process by which property, usually that which is vacant, underutilized, deteriorating or considered ‘blighted’, is
transformed into a higher and better use. Vacant, deteriorated and blighted property is an urban form of cancer. If not attended to
and treated, blight has shown to metastasize and spread to adjacent and other nearby properties invading and threatening entire
neighborhoods.
The history of redevelopment is a result of problems which have been occurring in communities for generations which are often
caused by a ‘status quo’ mentality where no action is taken once properties begin to deteriorate and many cities have inherited this
problem due to a historical lack of action. Maintaining code - complying, safe, healthy properties lies within the City of Platteville’s
jurisdictional ability to inspect and enforce building and property standards or codes. Regardless of existing code(s) used, properties
with code violations left unenforced will deteriorate to where individual property values decline, which in turn adversely affects
surrounding property values, revenues and other investment.
The purpose of the Platteville Library Block redevelopment project is to address the declining, underutilized blighted properties on
the block and aims to create a new, expanded Platteville Public Library, a new Neighborhood Healthcare Clinic, student housing
for the UW - Platteville, creating a ‘Work, Study, Live’ environment, includes an Extended Stay Hotel, attracts vibrant Commercial
and retail tenants that will provide the necessary amenities to the residents and visitors to the block and improves the overall tax
and property values on the block, thus generating additional tax base $30,0000,000 and a TIF Value over 20 Years of
$13,760,039.
. Conversely, the blighted property on the Library block, if left unattended would:
reduce property tax revenue,
maintain few jobs, if any at all,
stifle investment,
promotes sprawl, and
make little to no positive contribution to new job creation and incomes supporting residents.

SCOPE OF THE PLATTEVILLE LIBRARY BLOCK PROJECT
The City of Platteville, the University of Wisconsin - Platteville Foundation (Foundation), Southwest Community Action Program, Inc.
(SWCAP) and the Platteville Public Library are considering becoming involved in a project with these named partners and possibly
others to completely renovate the downtown city block located in the City of Platteville bounded by Main Street, Elm Street, Pine
Street and Chestnut Street (Block). (See map below). The City had a rendering of the project prepared by Joe Lawniczak, Mainstreet
program. (See rendering below). The proposed building is a four-story, multi-use building that will have an underground parking
structure (Building). The first floor of the Building will contain the Neighborhood Partners Health clinic, replacing the current clinic
operated by SWCAP, the Platteville Public Library replacing and expanding the current city library located on the Block, and
commercial/retail spaces. Clare Bank may occupy one of the commercial spaces. The upper floors of the Building, which will be
owned by the Foundation, will be dedicated for student housing for the University of Wisconsin—Platteville and an Extended Stay
Hotel to be used for visiting faculty and visitors. Early estimates place the cost of the building between $35,000,000 and $40,000,000
based on construction estimates provided by C.D. Smith Construction, headquartered in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. (Appendix A)
LEGAL ENTITY
Thomas W. Shellander, Partner at Neider & Boucher, S.C. located in Madison, Wisconsin, was asked to (i) propose an entity through
which the project could be completed, (ii) a legal structure for ownership of the Building, and (iii) advice regarding a
developer/contractor for the project. This assignment was given at a meeting that occurred in Platteville on February 5, 2013. The
meeting was attended by Wally Orzechowski, Dennis R. Cooley of the Foundation, and Cynthia Jaggi of Economic Development
Partners, LLC.
Upon review of the project, Attorney Shellander recommended that the best way to hold title to the project, at least initially, would be
a manager-managed limited liability company (“LLC”). He would anticipate the members (owners) of the LLC would be SWCAP and
the UW – Platteville Foundation. If Clare Bank is interested in becoming involved, it may also consider becoming a member.
SWCAP’s initial contribution will be its real estate at the corner of Elm and Main Streets. The other members would contribute cash,
which will be used to acquire the remaining real estate parcels on the Block. The manager of the LLC will be a board consisting of
individuals appointed by the members. The entity will be taxed for income tax purposes as a partnership. Under partnership
taxation, any taxable income and deductions flow throw to the members based on their percentage of ownership interest in the LLC.
The ownership interest of each member will be determined by their respective capital contributions. It would be expected that the
UW – Platteville Foundation would have a larger economic stake in the LLC than SWCAP if it supplies the cash to purchase the
remainder of the real estate on the Block.
17. Platteville Library Block Feasibility Study – July, 2013 Page 16
Economic Development Partners | www.edpwi.com
REAL ESTATE STRUCTURE
Due to the various zoning classifications that will be needed for the Building, it was recommended that it be developed as a planned
unit development (“PUD”). A PUD is a detailed plan for developing a project, typically in an urban environment, that has multiple,
incompatible zoning classifications. For example, it is anticipated the Building will have both commercial and residential components
which, under traditional zoning classifications, are incompatible. The details of a PUD are typically worked out between the
developer and the municipality.
At this time, Attorney Shellander’s recommendation would be that the Building should be developed as a condominium. With a
condominium, the Building is divided into separate parcels of real estate by recording a condominium declaration. The physical
structure of the building (e.g., foundation, exterior wall, roof, etc.) and underlying real estate, known in condominium parlance as
common elements, are owned by an association, which is usually established as a non-profit corporation. The association collects
monthly fees from the unit owners to maintain and operate the condominium. The association will be controlled by the LLC initially.
Later control will be turned over to owners of the units in the condominium.
SWCAP’s unit in the condominium will be its clinic. SWCAP’s ability to obtain financing for the expansion of its Platteville Clinic will
depend upon its owning of the clinic. Under the condominium structure, SWCAP will, in fact, own the clinic real estate. Similarly, the
UW – Platteville Foundation will own its residential units. The Foundation will need to decide whether it wants the portion of the
Building it will own to be a single unit encompassing all three floors of the Building on which its residential units will be built or
multiple units, one for each living unit. Similarly, the library and the Retail/commercial space including the bank will be separate
units. The current thinking is that that once the Building is completed and the units sold, the LLC will be dissolved. The duration of
the LLC’s existence may change based on the financing involved.
DEVELOPERS
The developer’s role in a project such as the ‘Building’ can include designing the project, obtaining all approvals necessary to build it,
financing or arranging for financing, overseeing the construction, and selling or continuing to own the units. Several developers were
contacted and evaluated their potential involvement in the Library Block project. Most developers we spoke to seemed to think the
Building should have a developer to assist with obtaining necessary approvals for the PUD and overseeing the construction of the
Building. It was assumed that the LLC would work with its own architect to design the Building and that Economic Development
Partners would handle the Financial feasibility of the project. They suggested issuing an RFP to locate developers who may be
interested in assisting in such capacities. The following Interviews were conducted with developers/builders as part of the research
for this report and findings:
18. Platteville Library Block Feasibility Study – July, 2013 Page 17
Economic Development Partners | www.edpwi.com
1. Robert W. Schaefer (Bob was legal counsel for the non-profit entity that constructed the University of Wisconsin—Green
Bay dormitories);
2. Timothy Radelet (Tim has significant experience in the financing of non-profit development projects);
3. Thomas G. Klein and Michael L. Morey of the Oakbrook Corporation (Oakbrook is a developer in the Milwaukee and
Madison areas);
4. Richard L. Schmidt, Jr. and Eric Schmidt of CG Schmidt Inc. (CG Schmidt is a developer in the Milwaukee and Madison
areas).
5. Steve Schmitt Joseph Schmitt & Sons Construction, from Sheboygan. (Steve Schmitt has been involved with building
Extended Stay Hotels and housing projects in the State)
6. C.D. Smith Construction, Inc. from Fond du Lac. (C.D. Smith Construction, Inc. built the new Roundtree Commons
residence hall at the UW – Platteville, completed in the Fall of 2012, and home to 620 students)
7. Jon Kennedy, GrandStay Hospitality, Minneapolis, MN (GrandStay Hospitality specialized in building and managing of
Extended Stay hotels and would be considered a strong operator for the project)
8. Joseph Gallina, Gallina Companies, Mt. Horeb (The Gallina Companies develop, design, construct, sell, acquire and
manage the most distinctive and luxurious apartment homes and residential condominiums in Wisconsin, Illinois and
Florida)
Of the developers/builders that were contacted, C.D. Smith Construction, Inc. from Fond du Lac, Joseph Schmitt & Sons
Construction, from Sheboygan and Jon Kennedy, with GrandStay Hospitality, in Minneapolis, MN believe they could help with the
project. All are currently involved in the planning of the project and the potential financing.
Of the developers contacted, most believe that the LLC and the condominium structure that is mentioned above would be compatible
with most government financing programs and would be a recommended legal structure to move the project forward..
All of the developers interviewed noted that the viability of the project depends on the financing which often is dependent upon cash
flow derived from each of the business condo units. For example, SWCAP’s unit will be purchased from the LLC using grants and
loans from government sources. The Foundation’s residential unit will presumably be financed by loans that will be serviced by cash
flows generated by leasing its unit(s) to UW-Platteville. All of the developers that were interviewed, thought that one of the most
19. Platteville Library Block Feasibility Study – July, 2013 Page 18
Economic Development Partners | www.edpwi.com
difficult aspects of the Building would be the underground parking. The parking area could be classified as a single unit which could
be leased to a third party and then leased to condominium unit owners (and their tenants) or it could be classified as a common
element of the condominium. If the parking garage is a separate unit, a sufficient source of cash flow will have to be identified in
order to pay for it. If it is a common element, the cost of the garage will have to be allocated and absorbed by the individual unit
owners, based on a prorated basis, which could significantly increase the purchase price of the units and the monthly condo
association dues (i.e.SWCAP’s unit will include as a portion of its costs the cost of the parking garage).
It is highly recommended that there be a Development Agreement with a ‘Look-back’ clause written up and enforced between the
partners of the Development LLC.

Absorption of Student Housing
To ascertain the absorption of 84 units of student housing and 336 beds, we employed straightforward methodology. The 2/16/2011
University of Wisconsin Campus Master Plan indicated student enrollment of 7,142 in 2010 rising to 8,377 in 2015 or 1,235 students.
This estimate for student enrollment has already been exceeded in 2012. While differences of opinion may ensue, we find that the
addition of 336 beds will be able to be fully absorbed in the short run 6-12 months
UW – Platteville has shown the greatest percentage enrollment increase within the UW system. According to the official enrollment
records, at UW–Platteville 8,621 students enrolled in 2012, including 7,819 undergraduate students and 802 graduate students —
record enrollment for UW–Platteville. During the 2011–12 academic year UW–Platteville had 7,459 undergraduate students and 756
graduate students enrolled.
Overall, UW - Platteville has 406 more students enrolled in 2012, an increase of 4.9 percent from 2011. The number of
undergraduates increased 4.8 percent, while the number of graduate students increased by 6.1 percent from 2011.
Absorption Commercial Space - Office
The project needs to absorb 19.130 in commercial retail or office space. Standards for office space indicate for every new employee
250 sq. ft. of space is needed. To absorb the 4,000 sq. ft. of professional space the area needs to create 16 new professional
employees. The community profile as provided in LocateinWisconsin by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC)
indicates a labor force of 5,951 and a growth rate of 9.80%. This would indicate near term growth of 583 employees so we assume
the small number of 16 will be achieved. Therefore the commercial office space should be able to be absorbed in the short run 6-18
months.
Absorption Commercial Space - Retail:
Retail space of 18,000 demands a separate analysis. As area, retail sales increase space demand increases.
For simplicity, we estimate that the space must generate sales of $250 per square foot to be financially feasible. Therefore, the area
must generate an additional $4,500,000 in sales to absorb the space.
24. Platteville Library Block Feasibility Study – July, 2013 Page 23
Economic Development Partners | www.edpwi.com
Therefore, we reviewed various previous studies and determine the following.
The downtown inventory was reported as 848,200 sq. ft. including all uses.
Street level retail inventory is 350,800, roughly the equivalent of two (2) superwalmarts.
Office use was reported at 46,600, and vacancy at 34,000 sq.ft. equates to 8%.
74,700 sq. ft. was in banks.
284,000 sq. ft. in the form of 286 rental/housing units.
Economic Census – Retail
Year 2002 2007 Difference
Estimated Sales $286,371,000 $184,622,000 ($101,749,000)
Employees 902 1,278 376
The above chart shows that retail sales decreased significantly. However, employees increased in this sector. The economic
census did not break the categories down into further subsectors but this period would show a negative absorption of retail space.
The location specific economic census for Platteville has not come out as of this writing. It is clear that this quick snapshot shows
additional retail space as non-market feasible. Therefore, we turn to proprietary purchased data.

The above chart shows retail demand increasing $18,947,185 from 2004-2010, or $3,157,864 a year. This shows the ability to
absorb 12,631 sq. feet per year. So it may take as long as two (2) years to lease this amount of new space. The cash flow and
projections factored in vacancy absorption of 10% for the first year and 5% as second year stabilized rolling vacancy.
To further analyze the retail spending and demand we analyze current retail demand, job growth and other data of similar Wisconsin
population - based communities against Platteville. The list of similar population - based communities are as follows:

The above chart shows that Platteville has lower spending in most categories when compared to similar population based
communities. Some retail economist correlate spending with income, which has strong ties. Even so, one of the communities
analyzed, Marinette, showed lower Household (HH) income but higher spending in quite a few of the categories. This shows the
ability of the Platteville area to absorb additional, space in the various categories.
In addition to spending we look at other factors to determine if growth will occur, which should translate into additional space
absorption.

As we look at these other factors, Platteville has a lower cost of living, positive job growth rate, and as to be expected, a highly
educated population. If the labor force grew by that 9.80% then the area would have 583 new jobs. If those jobs paid the 2011
Wisconsin per capita income of $27,192, then an additional $16 Million in area wages or demand would be accomplished. Using
our $250 per sq. ft. then 63,000 in additional space would be absorbed. According to the economic census in Wisconsin retail
sales per capita was $12,904 so those 583 may spend $7,523,032 and absorb 30,092 in area space.

The county seems to be absorbing 77,000 sq. ft. of new retail space per year based on demand increase. Sales taxes as you review
the monthly amounts above, show volatility. The economic census has shown sharp decreases, and sharp increases, but data isn’t
available except every five (5) years.
Some in summary, based on sale tax increases, the ability to stimulate similar demand of comparable population communities, the
ability to absorb the space shows the ability in the long run when using retail and/or food as a use. The long run is defined as 1-2
years at a favorable rental rate. Just to absorb the space would require around $4,782,500 in new area sales. Of course the
property owner must execute a marketing, and leasing strategy and business plan, which always adds to the project’s success.
Commercial and housing space assumptions
1. The chart directly below shows the income production we used to start our financial feasibility.
2. In addition we used a step down vacancy of 10% down to 5%, and believe 5% is stabilization.
3. Revenue and expenses are forecasted to increase 3% each year. Operating expenses are calculated using percentages
(%’s) from the student housing income and expense survey. The survey encompassed 29 companies in 32 states and 341
properties, which had 195,923 student housing beds (article attached in the appendices). We believe these are probably
higher than area expenses, and have reviewed an actual area multi-family building operating statement.

Market Feasible
Our analysis finds the student housing project section market feasible with the ability to absorb the 84 units, 336 beds of
student housing in the short run of 6-18 Months.
Our analysis finds the commercial office space market feasible with the ability to absorb the office space over the short run of
6-18 months.
Lastly, our firm finds the retail space market feasible with the space being absorbed over the long run of 1-2 years.
Financially Feasible
The student housing has excellent financial feasibility showing the ability to easily attract private financing. The student
housing/Commercial space shows the ability to have overall rate of returns of 16%-23%.

Risk Mitigation Strategies
1. The LLC must be a fully tax paying entity.
2. Each investee should be provided restricted series investment units with defined real estate rights, ownership definitions,
responsibilities, parking rights, and defined leases: example series A shall be defined as 84 student housing units 336 beds,
and number of parking units. Lease should provide for fully allocated debt service, common area expenses, and full payment
of parking, taxes, and applicable insurance.
3. The LLC may serve as a holding company to provide for debt service, tax, parking, and financing guarantees. The subset
legal entities must be defined along with covenants.
4. The holding entity may want to set a strike sell price to remove each subset from the project with financing and build out cost
plus a small return as the price.
5. The ability to finance the project as a collective may provide greater initial financing success.

IX. PROJECT SCOPE: EXTENDED STAY HOTEL
A review of available public information shows the number of hotel/motel rooms operating in the Platteville market. We found 158
rooms for rent on a daily or shorter than 30-day basis. Those hotels offering beyond 30 days are considered apartments and as such
are not subject to room tax according to state statues. Although not subject to room tax, those rooms could pose as a substitute
product and potential competition for the described product.
Based on seven (7) days and the rooms available, we find the area has the potential to accommodate 57,670 room stays, if at full
occupancy.

Lodging Services
Less Than One Month — Furnishing lodging to the same person or entity (for example, corporation, partnership, sole
proprietorship) at a hotel for a continuous period of less than one month is subject to Wisconsin sales tax. “One month,” as used
in this publication, means the lesser of: (1) a calendar month, or (2) a continuous period of 30 days. For purposes of counting the
number of days stayed at a hotel, the day the customer checks into the hotel is counted as a day. However, the day the customer
checks out of the hotel is not counted as a day.

Market Feasible
The Extended Stay project is not feasible at the size that was recommended by the builder/developer. Our firm would
recommend that the project be ‘right – sized’ and do not believe 70,000 sq. feet and 70 units are market feasible based
evaluation of the market, the fluctuation of tourism to the area and the room tax analysis. These market drivers would indicate
that the market could support a $4.5 – 5 million hotel project in Platteville.
Financially Feasible
The Extended Stay Hotel is not financially feasible as presented. A Hotel operator/owner would have to fully evaluate and
determine who will absorb the risk for the hotel part of the project and how to develop/build the project based on a $4.5 – 5
million estimate on what the market will support in the area.
Risk Mitigation Strategies:
The Extended Stay Hotel should be ‘right – sized’ to become market and financially feasible.
The Hotel project could be built and long – term leased to a private entity that bears the full cost of construction, mitigates the
risk and is responsible for marketing/advertising to gain optimal room occupancy.
UW – Platteville or other institutions/businesses in the area could guarantee the income of a certain level of room occupancy
based on a monthly or annual basis and bear the speculative risk of a larger scale project.
Optimal Hotel project estimated at $5 Million, 35,000 sq. feet at 600 sf./unit equates to approximately 60 unit hotel.
We are suggesting 58,000 sq. ft. and 60 rooms, at 800 sq. ft. each, at an estimated cost of $8 Million and that a Hospitality
investor(s) would bear the risk of the additional $3 Million hard costs or income guarantee of $270,000 per year or 17 rooms
at the rev par, which equates to $15,700 per room per year until stabilized.
In order to support the large scale 70,000 sq. foot, $10 million hotel project that has been proposed, regular room rates of
$127/night and 60% occupancy would be required or a guarantee of $600,000/yr. or a buy-down of $5 million in hard costs.

Market Feasible
The Library is market feasible based upon the expertise of the Platteville Library Executive Director and her staff’s needs analysis
that was conducted for the study. Refer to the study conducted by Carolyn Schuler.
Financially Feasible
This financial feasibility assumes a $6 million cost for the design and construction of a new, expanded 22,000 sq. Foot
Platteville Public Library.
The additional space for the Platteville Public Library has excellent financial feasibility based on the assumption that the
project will generate $936,987 in annual taxes and will generate over $14 million in Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) over 15
years and $18 million over 20 years. The TIF from the project would support the $6 million construction costs for the new,
expanded Library and could help to finance the parking for the overall project.
Risk Mitigation Strategies
The City of Platteville must partner with the legal entity for the development of the Platteville Library Block redevelopment
project and commit the TIF monies toward the construction of the new, expanded Library.
The City of Platteville would have to evaluate the minimum parking space that would be needed in order to make this project
‘cash flow.’ A parking variance may be needed from the City.
The developer/builder would have to obtain the financing for the construction phase of the entire project.

XI. PROJECT SCOPE: PARKING
According to the analysis conducted by Mike Krolczyk, Vice President with C.D. Smith Construction Services located in Fond
du Lac, Wisconsin, it is estimated that 425 parking stalls would be required to support the Library Block project. The stall
parking deck that would be located underground would require approximately 140,625 sq. feet and could be constructed at a
cost of $7.4 million based on the building contractor’s estimates. They would be allocated as follows:
Business Entity Parking Stalls
Needed
Library 50
Student Housing 252
Commercial 53
Extended Stay Hotel 60
All Other 10
TOTAL 425
At a construction cost of over $7.4 million for the parking needed to support this project, the parking stalls required to support
each Business/Organization, will have to be allocated into the overall construction costs of each part of the project and would
be allocated as follows:
Business Entity Parking Stalls
Req.
Allocated Costs of
Parking Stalls
Library 50 $878,700
Student Housing 252 $4,428,648
Commercial 53 $931,422
Extended Stay
Hotel
60 $1,054,440
All Other 10 $175,740
TOTAL 425 $7,468,950
49. Platteville Library Block Feasibility Study – July, 2013 Page 48
Economic Development Partners | www.edpwi.com
Market Feasible
The overall analysis found the project to be market and financially feasible. The project return is adequate to support the
parking construction expense based on the projected 425 units.
Financially Feasible
Parking is seldom financially feasible unless the project’s sole income is parking fees. In order to determine financial
feasibility in this project, each business entity had to be financially feasible to pay for their required building space and
associated business function. Then excess cash flow was evaluated to pay for the required parking needs for the business.
We recommend a ‘go’ decision for the parking project.
Risk Mitigation Strategies
To mitigate the risk of the parking portion of the project, the parking construction costs were allocated by the specific business
entities.
A management operator/firm would be recommended to manage the parking for the project.
Each business unit should be required to sign a ‘fixed fee’ lease agreement with the management operator.

XII. TOOLS IN THE TOOLBOX
Platteville is in a unique position to have access to public and private funds which are available from State, national and local
Economic Development Funds. The project would be eligible for nearly $1 million in public grant funds and over $7 million in new
market monies which provides opportunities and challenges. The money must be invested wisely for greatest impact, and also
possibly designed to replenish itself over time.
FOR THE OVERALL PROJECT
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds - From the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), these
funds could be utilized for projects including but not limited to planning and blight elimination. Contact Jennifer Kuderer for more

The New Markets Tax Credit Program (NMTC Program) was established by Congress in 2000 to spur new or increased
investments into operating businesses and real estate projects located in low-income communities. The NMTC Program attracts
investment capital to low-income communities by permitting individual and corporate investors to receive a tax credit against their
Federal income tax return in exchange for making equity investments in specialized financial institutions called Community
Development Entities (CDEs). The credit totals 39 percent of the original investment amount and is claimed over a period of seven
years (five percent for each of the first three years, and six percent for each of the remaining four years). The investment in the CDE
cannot be redeemed before the end of the seven-year period.
The project is within a targeted area, and would be eligible for New Markets funds, to buy down debt service, become an equity
source, and therefor increase the overall rate of return or decrease the debt burden.
Capacity Building (CAP) Grant funds assist local and regional economic development groups, to create an advanced economic
development network within the state. The primary use of the funds is for assessments of the economic competitiveness of the area;
support of strategies that will benefit the organizations or their members through operational efficiencies, strategy development,
education/skill development or increased collaboration with other organizations. Contact Jennifer Kuderer for more information 608-

Economic Development Administration (EDA) Technical Assistance Program – provides focused assistance to local
government leaders to help in economic development decision making, including feasibility studies, as well as makes university
resources available to the economic development community.
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) – A diverse tool which should be reexamined on a regular basis for ways to utilize its power and
scope more creatively in Platteville. Creative uses of TIF in combination with levy, CDBG and bonding through the CDA can create
more opportunities than appear to currently exist.
General Levy Funds – The City of Platteville should not shy away from considering utilizing general levy funds on important
investments in economic and community development. The long term benefits of these investments have been proven to reduce the
needs for additional investment over time and in many cases have acted as catalysts for further growth and private sector
investment.

The Library Sources and uses chart above is dual, incorporating hard cost of construction, and translating operating expenses into
long term hard end value. Libraries are typically non-revenue producing entities requiring tax levy. The intent of the sources and
uses is to find enough new and existing tax bases to pay for the new, expanded Library space and operating budget. It is imperative
to realize that that $6,878,700 is the immediate need and the $15,273,670 is what is needed to cover the operating expenses over 20
years. We find as stated before that based on the tax base creation for this project, we recommend a ‘Go’ decision. The Library
should consider this in their business planning process.

XIV. RECOMMENDATIONS
Our recommendation is to finance the entire project as the ‘collective’ applying various public and private funding including
grants, TIF, New Market Tax Credits, and loan guarantees to insure the success of this project moving forward.
