Murphy, Village Clerk EXHIBIT A SARNOFF +RACCASH P R O P E R T Y T A X L A W Roncadin Inc., or another entity to be named ("Applicant"), is requesting a Resolution in support and consent of a Class 6b Incentive on the above -referenced property based on occupation of an abandoned property that has been vacant for less than 24 continuous months with a purchase for value, special circumstances, new construction and substantial rehabilitation. The Applicant plans to purchase the subject property and rehabilitate the same for Roncadin Inc. to occupy for its operations consisting of the manufacturing of frozen pizzas. The subject property consists of an approximately 43,142 square foot site with a roughly 15,000 square foot building that has been vacant and unused since October 6, 2018. The property is in need of substantial rehabilitation. Therefore, the Applicant plans to invest approximately $650,000 to $700,000 to immediately rehabilitate the subject property. Based on initial inspections these improvements will be to improve the fagade, update the landscaping, add new signage, sealcoat and stripe the parking lot, improve the sidewalk, construct an approximately 3,729 square foot addition to the east side of the building, improve the offices and flooring, improve the locker rooms and washrooms and add a cooler as well as to complete other general maintenance. Please note that all of the rehabilitation costs could significantly vary depending on a variety of factors such as market variances. Further inspections of the subject property may require additional improvements. The rehabilitation will create approximately 20 to 40 construction jobs. Roncadin Inc. currently manufactures its pizzas solely in Italy, and the subject property will be its first manufacturing site outside of Italy. Please note that Roncadin Inc.'s current presence in the United States consists of an office in Wilmette with 2 (full-time) employees. Roncadin Inc.'s business is growing and it needs to start manufacturing in the United States as soon as possible. After significant research, Roncadin Inc. determined that Elk Grove Village and the subject property was the correct choice of where to start its United States manufacturing operation. Therefore, Roncadin Inc. plans to start its United States manufacturing operation at the subject property and bring all 2 of its current employees from Wilmette to the same and plans on adding approximately 30 (9 full-time; 21 part-time) new employees as soon as possible at the property. In addition, and depending on growth, Roncadin Inc. plans on having two shifts working at the subject property, which will result in approximately 60 total employees at the same. Additionally, Roncadin Inc. will look to hire all qualified Elk Grove Village residents for future hires. Elk Grove Village can also expect that Roncadin Inc. and its employees will invest commercially back into the community by visiting local establishments such as restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores and more. In addition, Elk Grove Village can expect that Roncadin Inc. will attract business and various customers to the Village in the course of its operations. Based on our research and the additional costs that must be incurred to rehabilitate the building in order for this to be a successful endeavor, the Applicant must possess a Class 6b Incentive to complete the improvements and to successfully operate the property. It is for these reasons that it is necessary to grant the Applicant a Resolution in support and consent of a Class 6b Incentive for the subject property based on occupation of an abandoned property that has been vacant for less than 24 continuous months with a purchase for value, special circumstances, new construction and substantial rehabilitation.
