FROM THE MAYOR- EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF STRATEGIC PLANNING NO. 1 AMHERST STATION PILOT 2665-2671 MAIN STREET Your Honorable Body is hereby requested to approve a PILOT agreement between the City of Buffalo, the County of Erie and Amherst Station Housing Development Fund Company, Inc. inform and substance to the attached Agreement. This Project known as the Amherst Station, located on Main Street in the City of Buffalo, County of Erie, involves the partial demolition, rehabilitation and addition to an existing three story masonry commercial building on Main Street near Amherst Street into twenty-four (24) units of housing and administrative office space for Cazenovia Recovery Systems, Inco The development will consist of nineteen (19) one bedroom units and five (5) two bedroom units, with the offices on part of the first floor° All of the units will be affordable to households with incomes at or below 50% of the area median income; it is projected that four (4) of the units will be occupied by households at or below 30% of the area median income. Each unit will have laundry hook-ups and central air conditioning. The building will have a large community room with a kitchen area and common laundry facilities. There will also be a play area and green space for children and residents to gather as well as adequate off street parking for residents and guests.

All residents will be encouraged to participate in a tenant association, which will have input into decision making for the building° Residents will also be provided with homebuyer training. The amount of the PILOT payments was calculated based upon the City's PILOT policy that provides for payments in the amount of three percent (3%) of the total income of proposed budget, assuming a five percent (5%) vacancy.

Your Honorable Body originally designated GSC on July 8, 2008 and the designation will expire on January 8, 2009. Grain Service Corporation is a commodity research, consulting, and trading company. The company annually transacts over $3 billion of grain and energy derivatives a year for clients ranging from multinational corporations to commercial commodity consumers, producers and merchants. GSC is proposing to partner with RiverWdght Grain Management Partners and agrees with their development of a master plan for the area which incorporates Cargill Superior and possibly Concrete Central into an integrated biomass storage complex.

Payment of a designation fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per month by Redeveloper to the City, payable within five (5) days from the date of de~ignati0n and due thereafter the first day of every month. In the event Redeveloper shall exercise its option to acquire said property pursuant to the Land Disposition Agreement (LDA) to be negotiated by Redeveloper and the City, said option fee shall be applied as a credit towards the purchase price. In the event Redeveloper shall not proceed with the redevelopment of the property within the designation period, Redeveloper shall forfeit all monies paid on account and the City shall retain all such monies. e. Redeveloper is responsible for performing any soil borings and soil investigations, as per a license agreement to be granted by the City, for the purpose of determining, to developer's satisfaction, the suitability of the site for its intended use, and the presence or absence of hazardous substances as such term is used in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act d 1980, as amended (C.E.R.O.L.A) 42 USC ss 960! et seq.: The Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended, 49 USC ss 1801 et seq.: The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 USC ss 6901 et seq.: Articles 15 and 27 of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law or any other federal, state, or local law, regulation, rule, ordinance, by-law, policy guidance, procedure, interpretation, decision, order, or directive, whether existing as of the date hereof, previously enforced or subsequently enacted. f. The successful negotiation of a Land Disposition Agreement for approval by the Common Council by no later than six months from the date the Common Council approves the designation. g. Upon signing of LDA, payment by the Redeveloper to the City of a non- refundable deposit, in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the agreed to selling price. h. Individuals and or corporations having outstanding taxes, water bills, parking tickets, user fee and/or demolition liens or any other liens owned to the City of Buffalo, or if code violations exist on any property owned by them they are ineligible for designation.

This redesignation will expire six (6) months from the date the Common Council approves. I am requesting that your Honorable Body approve the redesignation of Grain Service Corporation as the Redeveloper of 175 Buffalo River upon the above terms and conditions; authorize the Executive Director of the Office of Strategic Planning to prepare the necessary agreements for the redevelopment of 175 Buffalo River, and forward to the Common Council for final approval of the land disposition for the transfer of title.

The property consists of 3.5 acres along the Buffalo River and is bounded by the Buffalo River to the North, and railroad property to the east, west and south. Your Honorable Body originally designated RiverWright Grain Management Corporation on July 8, 2008 and the designation will expire on January 8, 2009. RiverWright has conducted extensive discussions with major US grain players and has concluded that the best strategy to develop the grain elevators on the Buffalo River is to develop their ethanol project in parallel and partnership with major grain players. The grain companies will trade grain on their own account as well as supply RiverWright with its grain needs. Recently, RiverWright has proposed and the City has adopted the vision of creating a Green Energy Zone under the South Buffalo BOA process. As part of this concept, RiverWright has partnered with Grain Service Corporation (GSC) to plan the redevelopment of the RiverWright Grain Elevators, Cargill Superior and Concrete Central elevators. GSC is currently the designated developer of 175 Buffalo River. RiverWright has been developing a master plan for the area which incorporates Cargill and Concrete Central into an integrated biomass storage complex. They plan to include both grain and other energy feedstock. It will be served by a biomass handling logistics center based at Marine A. I therefore respectfully request that Your Honorable Body redesignate RiverWright Grain Management Partners, LLC and or corporation, partnership, or other legal entity to be formed as Redeveloper of the subject property for a period of six months subject to the following conditions: a.

This report is being filed with your Honorable Body as an informational item. If you have any questions regarding the above mentioned, please contact Inspector Joseph Strano at 851-4624. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE FROM THE COMMISSIONER OF ECONOMIC DEVEKOPMENT AND PERMIT & INSPECTION SERVICES NO. 6 " EXAMINING THE FEASIBILITY OF HOLDING "NEIGHBORHOOD MINI AUCTIONS" TO MARKET CITY OWNED IN REIN PROPERTIES Thank you for your letters to the department regarding the idea of "neighborhood mini auctions" which we have incorporated into the department's land strategy this fall in close coordination with Judge Henry Nowak. As part of regular consultations with the Judge and others, we continue to test the feasibility of the idea and how and where it might be deployed. To date, our analysis of the issues surrounding implementation has included: analysis of current city-owned property to determine feasible future use types determining which represent an asset needed for future development plans and whether adjacent properties can be assembled in 1, 2 and greater acreages. if parcels were to be combined, is there a better use for them o e.g. can concentration of parcels allow us to provide recreational or storm water green space does the potential for land assembly exist under existing laws and authorities (including the state constitution) for business development (and jobs)? We continue to discuss the plan with Judge Nowak regarding strategies for deployment and the legal issues surrounding them with Corporation Counsel. As you know, one of the limiting factors in any city land sales is the capacity of staff to process them. At Mayor Brown's direction at Citistat, the Division of Real Estate has undertaken a process improvement effort this fall and winter to reduce the number of steps taken for real estate transfers, streamline and seek further efficiencies in the process to process the backlog of properties from In Rem 41 in 2007 and to be able to more quickly process the forthcoming two hundred-some properties from In Rem 42. Further improvements are underway to accommodate more quickly any buyer interested in purchasing an existing city-owned property with as few steps as possible. As Commissioner, I continue to stress that anyone wanting to buy a city-owned residential property to renovate and reuse, will be gladly assisted to do so if they have an acceptable plan and evidence of financing to execute it. You or your constituents can bring such opportunities to my attention if they encounter problems. We will fix them and transfer properties the city owns to qualified redevelopers. We have also launched a request for proposals to preparing a vacant properties data base as suggested in Blue Print Buffalo. The goal is to quickly "stitch together" existing municipal and government data sources to provide the full benefit of existing (but previously not easily accessible) data. This should further inform neighborhood mini auctions as well, such as analyzing potential properties which might be available at the next tax foreclosure, based on current assessment data, in order to have a better idea of where concentrations may exist. Please let me know if we can answer further questions.

STARK-WATERFRONT HOTEL PLANS I would like to file the attached information for the next Common Council meeting to be held on January 6, 2009. Thank you. Dear Councilman Kearns, The American Institute of Architects/Buffalo/~NY Chapter has been watching with interest the ongoing controversy regarding the Buffalo Urban Renewal Agencies' approval of the James W. Pitts Properties and Developments Companies proposal for the 100 room Wingate Inn at the Erie Basin Marina. It is our opinion that the controversy regarding the approval of this project is well founded. As architects, we hold a professional responsibility to protect, preserve and improve the quality of our built environment. This is particularly important in our flair city with its incredible architectural heritage and the, so far, unrealized potential of our geographical assets, specifically our waterfront and our location as a major international border. The recent decisions by the Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency to approve this proposal, especially in. light of the City Planning Departments own admission that the RFP was "flawed" is very disturbing. The Erie Canal Harbor Plan is finally moving forward and progress is being made on the reconnection of the city to the waterfront. Approving this aptly labeled "suburban style" hotel development is completely inappropriate a, counterproductive and sets a poor standard for the development of our cities' urban waterfront. We applaud, the members of the City Council and other opponents of this development, who are calling for a rejection of this mediocre proposal. The idea of getting a "doable" project, at the expense of the long term development goals of our city, flies in the face of any kind of reasonable design and planning processes. An ill-conceived, poorly designed building on a premier development site will negatively affect the future of our water front for decades to come, If we can be of service in resolving this issue, please feel free to contact us. Sincerely, Paul REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION Herendeen President, AIA Buffalo/WNY REFERRED TO THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT NO 22 D. SMITH-F.
