Payment of Bills: Upon motion by Cydney Johnson, seconded by Mark Muthumbi, the Board approved the Payment of Bills. Motion was carried. Action Items: 1. Twin Ponds HB, LLC (Project #3101-25-02A) First Meeting The applicant is proposing to construct a residential community consisting of approximately 309 multifamily units, a commercial space, and recreational areas in the Town of Manlius. Specific project amenities will include a well-equipped fitness center, a children’s play area, a dog park, a new dock, and a covered pavilion. Brody Smith, attorney at Bond Schoeneck & King who represents Twin Ponds HB, LLC made the following comments: The project is located at 5440 North Burdick. The lot is 54.5-acre parcel that’s currently vacant and has been vacant for quite some time. Previously it was a quarry. B. Smith drew attention to the two water features on the property, explaining that the project would occur between the two water features, which is the suitable area for development. The project includes 309 residential units, including 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments. There will be three modern five-story buildings and 87,000 square feet of covered parking. There will be an additional 5,700 square foot building reserved for commercial space as well as five additional apartments. 304 of the 309 units will be in the modern three, five-story buildings. The amenities will include a fitness center, a play area, a dog park, a clubhouse, the ponds itself which will be available for recreational use, a pavilion, and trails. The trails on-site have the capability to link up to the Canalway system by a pedestrian bridge over Limestone Creek that the village and town are looking into constructing. This would be an exciting opportunity to help connect the Town Center area to the Village of Fayetteville, which essentially doesn’t exist right now. Page 3 of 73 Due to the previous restrictive zoning and the development patterns in the area, prevented development of this parcel for quite some time. The Applicant worked with the Town to pass a floating zone planned development district law. This project was the first project under that law because there is some development challenges under the old zoning laws that prevented this from being developed. B. Smith drew attention to the infill, explaining that it’s the best kind of infill because there’s no new significant infrastructure required. B. Smith provided the following information to the Board to explain the location: To the west across the street is the town center senior living facility and Northeast Medical. Near the southern edge of the property on the east side is where Kohls is and access into the town center. B. Smith advised that the Applicant has received great local support and they obtained a letter of support from the Town of Manlius the night prior, which they have copies of for the Board’s viewing. The Town has offered full throated support for the project, which didn’t come as a surprise to them considering all of the zoning challenges associated with the parcel. The Town of Manlius has already completed the SEQR review process and issued a negative declaration. Part of that process was the Applicant working with the Town to achieve certain community goals, such as workforce housing, and housing for people with special disabilities included in the project. There were conditions to the passage planned district plan, in addition to some sustainability aspects of the project and others that the Town deemed to be important. The Applicant has also provided an updated letter pertaining to its market study that reached the conclusion that there is a desperate need for more housing in the area. Robert Petrovich noted for the Board that the Agency staff has been evaluating the proposed application, and some of the things that have been referenced by the Applicant have come in at the last minute, which means the Agency staff hasn’t had a chance to vet them yet. R. Petrovich stated that the action before the Board today is to authorize a public hearing, however Agency staff will not move forward with scheduling a public hearing until staff deems that the additional information is sufficient for a complete application. R. Petrovich referred to media oversight on the Agency’s actions that can be seen as controversial regarding housing. The Agency wants to make sure that everyone knows going in what’s being asked of in terms of the locality and ensuring that we have a clear understanding of what is being proposed and what incentives are going to be offered. Alan Marzullo asked how many local permitted jobs will the project create. Page 4 of 73 B. Smith responded that the project will create 120 construction jobs. Construction will be slated to start later this year. B. Smith stated that in terms of long-term jobs associated with the management of the apartments, there will be a leasing agent, manager, and maintenance employees, which would total around 7 jobs that will all be local hires. Alan Marzullo asked about the construction time frame. B. Smith responded that they would like to start construction at the end of this year. The project will take about two years to complete. Alexis Rodriguez noted for the Board that the project has a 10% workforce housing component. B. Smith explained that even before the Agency changed its UTEP, the Applicant had already committed to the workforce housing component as part of their zoning process with the Town. Randy Wolken added that this project is needed in the community. Randy Wolken read the Agency action requested, “A resolution of the Board authorizing a public hearing.” Motion was made by Cydney Johnson, seconded by Alan Marzullo. Motion was carried. 2. National Grid – Easement Authorization The Agency wishes to grant easements to National Grid over portions of lands owned by the Agency for the purpose of building facilities to provide electric and gas services for the White Pine Commerce Park. R. Petrovich explained that this is an easement for electric service to come across Caughdenoy Road to enter the White Pine Commerce Park. There was once discussion about putting the power overhead, but it is now going underneath the road and the railroad, coming up on the other side on property that the Agency owns. Consulting Jeffrey Davis, R. Petrovich asked how long the Agency will own this property. J. Davis advised that the Agency would own the property for roughly another 30 days. J. Davis explained that resolution before the Board is one to enter into the easements that will be for both electric and gas. The electric easement is what’s in front of the Board right now, and it’s consistent with where it was shown all along in the site plans. The gas easement will most likely come within the next two weeks, but the Agency may not own the property at that Page 5 of 73 time. J. Davis explained that if the Agency does own the property at the time, subject to legal review, the Board would be approving entering into the easements. The easements have been reviewed by Micron, whose under contract to purchase the property. Micron has reviewed these and agree that the locations are all consistent with where they need to be considering their operations but because the Agency is still in the chain of title, the Agency needs to approve this now, as it’s an important step for National Grid to take their regulatory steps to show that they have control of the land to put their infrastructure on the property. National Grid cannot complete these next steps without having these easements in place. R. Petrovich included that the Agency has a purchase and sale agreement with Micron for the 810 acres on the west that has gone back and forth in negotiations and terms. The expectation is that the Agency will close in the month of April on the sale of the property for everything that Micron is doing west of Burnet Road. J. Davis added that this area has been studied under SEQR and it was included in the original Environmental Impact Statement. This allows National Grid to proceed with the infrastructure that has already been reviewed and examined. R. Petrovich added that the electric is coming across the north side of the parcel and the gas line will come across further south of the parcel. J. Davis confirmed that the gas line would come out a little further south of Caughdenoy Road and it would be more in line of where the rail spur property is, on the other side of the Micron facility. Alan Marzullo questioned if the easement displaces any properties. J. Davis responded that this easement only relates to the final portion of land that is still currently owned by the Agency. Randy Wolken read the Agency action requested, “A resolution of the Board authorizing the execution of an easement in connection with property located at White Pine Commerce Park for facilities to provide electric and gas services.” Motion was made by Alan Marzullo, seconded by Mark Muthumbi. Motion was carried. 3. White Pine Science & Technology Park J. Davis explained that at the previous meeting, the Board declared their intent to be lead agency for SEQR to start the environmental review process for White Pine Science & Technology Park. Page 6 of 73 Following that meeting, the Agency sent out 30-day notices as is required under SEQRA. 30 days has passed. The Agency received two comments back within the 30-day period. One of those comments was from the NYSDEC. J. Davis explained that at the last meeting Part I of SEQR was approved and the Board declared the Agency’s intent to be lead agency. The resolution before the Board is going to state that OCIDA is lead agency and the Agency has reviewed Part II of SEQR and has determined that there are potentially significant adverse impacts, as a result of the development of the White Pine Science & Technology Park on the 104 acres of land. As a result of the review, the Agency will issue a positive declaration under SEQA and start a Generic Environmental review process. The first step of that process is to go out to scoping, which starts the public process of this review, which is an important step under SEQRA. There are dual resolutions in front of the Board. The first part being that the Board has reviewed Part II. J. Davis summarized Part II, noting that the consulting firm has reviewed this, identified that there will be impacts to land, ranging from moderate to large, no impacts to geologic features as a result of the development on the site, no unique land forms on the site, there will be impact to service waters, ranging from moderate to large, there will be no impact to groundwater and use of groundwater, there will be public facilities that will be used for water purposes, there could be potential impacts on flooding given the nature of the site that could require modifications to existing drainage patterns, there could be impacts on air depending upon the ultimate development of the site and on the end user of the site, there could be impacts to plants and animals, specifically removal of trees at the site, which were not deemed to be moderate or large, there will not be an impact to agricultural resources, as the property is not being used for farming and is not zoned for that purpose, there could be impact on aesthetic resources, ranging from moderate to large depending on the development, there will not be impact to historic or archaeological resources, and the property is identified in a potentially sensitive area, which the Agency did receive a letter from the NYSDEC stating that, there will be no impact to open space and recreation development, there will be no impact to critical environmental areas, there could be potential impacts on transportation, there could be impacts on energy, there could be impacts on noise, odor, and light, an impact on human health, and the development is consistent with community plans and there could be a change in community character as result of the development of the site given what is there now versus what the development would be. J. Davis stated that based upon that review of Part II, the Agency’s consulting team has recommended that the Agency issues a positive declaration and completes Part III to note that the Agency will do a positive declaration, and that the Agency advances a Draft Scope for public review and comment. That public review and comment will include a public hearing, which is not required, but the Agency would like to conduct a hearing. The recommendation is that the Agency holds a public hearing on April 30, 2026, at the Clay Town Hall from 6:00PM to 8:00PM. The Draft Scope is designed to illicit comment for what should be Page 7 of 73 studied in the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that will ultimately lead to the development of the site. After the Agency receives the comments on the Draft Scope, the Agency will then develop a Final Scope, which will determine what will be studied and be included in the Generic EIS for the development of the White Pine Science & Technology Park. The EIS process will then start with the development of a Draft EIS. R. Petrovich added that the Agency will be taking a fresh look at the issues that have manifested as part of this internal review. The Agency certainly wants the public’s participation in the review and comment of this. A lot of the impacts have been touched on by Micron’s larger and fully comprehensive EIS that was completed. Micron was aware of the possibility of this project, so the Agency will incorporate some of that information in the EIS. The Agency will also generate its own data. These steps in the environmental review process are all necessary to prepare the site for supply chain. The goal of this will be to ensure that the site can handle what is being proposed. Cydney Johnson questioned if there was a study on the land before the Micron EIS was completed. J. Davis responded that on the main campus there were two Environmental Impact studies done in order to develop White Pine Commerce Park. The original was done and then a supplement was done in 2021 where the Park was expanded from 300 acres to the current 1,400 acres. There were two Generic Impact Statements done and then a full site-specific EIS done, focused on Micron. Referring to R. Petrovich’s previous comment, the traffic study in Micron’s EIS included a potential development at White Pine Science & Technology Park and assigned a certain amount of traffic that could come out of the development. J. Davis explained that the Agency’s job will be to take from some of what has been done already but also to take a look at site-specific GEIS for the White Pine Science & Technology Park. J. Davis added that the NYSDOT FHWA is doing their own EIS on the specific improvements that they will implement, which was recommended under the Micron EIS. The Draft Scope lays out certain study areas for the Agency, which the Agency will consult NYSDOT FHWA, as they’re in a process right now that will be parallel. Randy Wolken read the Agency action requested, “A resolution of the Board designating OCIDA as lead agency with respect to a coordinated review and determining to issue a Positive Declaration pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act.” Motion was made by Cydney Johnson, seconded by Alan Marzullo. Motion was carried. Randy Wolken read the Agency action requested, “A resolution of the Board finding that the draft Scoping Document is sufficient for public review, opening a thirty-day public comment Page 8 of 73 period during which a public hearing will be held on April 30, 2026.” Motion was made by Alan Marzullo, seconded by Mark Muthumbi. Motion was carried. Motion to adjourn was made by Cydney Johnson and seconded by Alan Marzullo at 8:56 AM. ___________________________________ Alexis Rodriguez, Secretary Page 9 of 73 April 30, 2026 Revenue / Expense / Income Current Period Current YTD Operating/Non-Op Revenue 398,738 11,216,675 Administrative Expense 68,977 281,621 Operating/Program Expense 211,064 598,602 Net Ordinary Income 118,697 10,336,452 Current Assets Current YTD Total Cash 46,491,565 Less Pass Through Received -

Twin Ponds HB, LLC has not received benefits from any of the agencies above in the past. However, Braxton LLC, an owner of Twin Ponds HB, LLC, did receive benefits from OCIDA as an owner of Trey Jay LOSO, LLC in January 2022. The LOSO project is located at 22 Loso Drive, Cicero, NY, 13039 (Formally 6477 Lakeshore Rd). These benefits included a $2,500,000 sales tax exemp on and a $353,000 mortgage tax exemp on. Sec on II D) A statement that the Project described in this applica on would not be undertaken but for the financial assistance provided by the Agency. The development of 5440 North Burdick Street, Tax Parcel No. 086.-02-06.1 (the “Property”) will not proceed without financial assistance from OCIDA because of the pressure from the current financial environment and increased material and labor cost. E) Descrip on of Project: Please a ach a detailed narra ve of the proposed Project. Please a ached copies of site plans, sketches or maps. This narra ve should include, but is not limited to: Twin Ponds HB LLC is a single purpose LLC which currently owns the property and seeks to construct a residen al community consis ng of residen al dwelling units, commercial tenant space and recrea onal areas (the “Project”). We an cipate construc on beginning by the fourth quarter of 2026. The Project will include a clubhouse, amenity areas for recrea on, roadways, parking areas, landscaping, and u li es. Ten percent of the units will be workforce housing. The project will include approximately 309 residen al units, made up of a mix of one, two and three-bedroom units. All but five of the apartments will be located in three modern five story buildings. A single two and three-story mixed-use building will also be constructed that will house five apartments on the second and third floors and approximately 5,700 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor. Specific project ameni es will include a well-equipped fitness center within the clubhouse. Near the pond there will also be separate enclosed areas accommoda ng both a children’s play area and a dog park. The pond will feature a new dock which can be used to fish or launch non- motorized watercra such as kayaks for pleasure boa ng. Adjacent to the pond residents will also find a covered pavilion for outdoor picnics and entertaining alongside the water. Also, both the Town and Village of Manlius support the crea on of a pedestrian bridge over neighboring Limestone Creek. This would allow future access from the property directly to the New York State Erie Canalway Trail. The Canalway is a significant nearby amenity offering Page 44 of 73 outdoor enthusiasts the ability to walk, bike and run hundreds of miles all across Upstate NY! Funding for this connec on is not yet in place. The Manlius Town Board has stated that there is currently an urgent need for more apartment units in the community. Apartments are needed to accommodate new workers, young people and seniors who desire to age in place. Notwithstanding the urgent need for apartments in Manlius, development pa erns and previous zoning regula ons have blocked needed development in the past. The Property represents a unique opportunity to develop land that is situated in a par cularly desirable loca on in terms of proximity to exis ng infrastructure, services and employment. The loca on of the site is ideal for the development of apartments and the Project will result in much needed infill, as it is surrounded by retail, senior housing and medical office space. Very li le addi onal infrastructure is needed to advance the Project. The Property is also uniquely suited to accommodate new apartments because it is not situated near any exis ng single-family dwellings. Put simply, the introduc on of addi onal residen al density can be accomplished without disrup ng the character of any exis ng single-family neighborhoods. The Project has the poten al to provide much needed outdoor recrea on space while offering pedestrian connec ons between the Village of Faye eville, Northeast Medical Center and Faye eville Town Center. The Project includes extensive sidewalks and walking trails around the perimeter of the pond and along Burdick Street. This system of trails and sidewalks will provide much needed pedestrian connec ons to neighboring proper es now and in the future. The Manlius Town Board has expressed its support for this Project by overlaying a floa ng zone (approving a district plan for this Project) where previously this type of development would have otherwise been prohibited by code. More recently, the Town Planning Board provided a unanimous SEQRA Nega ve Declara on and Unanimous Site Plan approval for the project. This development is needed and desired by the community and will provide needed housing in an area where there is presently a lack of mul -family housing. Further, the District Plan includes provisions for workforce housing and housing for persons with special physical needs.

The intended use of the property is as a mul -family residen al complex containing 309 Residen al Units, associated support buildings such as maintenance and tenant garages, a club house, below ground and surface parking and a small retail/office component. (v) describe your method for site control (Own, lease, other). The applicant currently owns the property. G) any compelling circumstances the agency should be aware of… H.1.c Have any environmental issues been iden fied on the property? A small petroleum spill was iden fied during the environmental review of the project. The affected area is next to one of the exis ng structures and covers approximately 2,000 square feet. The affected area will be remediated as part of the project. Sec on VII: Four Housing Projects Only NEW UTEP Ques ons 1. Describe the reasons why the Agency’s financial assistance is necessary. Describe how the project would be impacted if these benefits were not provided. {Sec on II (D)} Because of the current lending environment and increased construc on costs, the project will not proceed without agency assistance. If the project is not provided assistance the amount of rent necessary to meet the financial requirements will be well in excess of current market rates. Consequently, we will be unable to secure the loan necessary to proceed. 2. Describe how the proposed housing project fulfills an unmet need in the community. Twin Ponds fulfills an unmet need of market and workforce housing in the Eastern Suburbs. As shown by the market study, there is currently very li le available supply. 3. Please provide a market study documen ng a need for the proposed project. A Market study provided by Robert Smith is a ached. Page 46 of 73 4. Describe how the proposed project aligns with the Plan Onondaga County comprehensive plan. (Plan Onondaga) One of the core objec ves of the County’s 2024 Comprehensive Plan is to support “affordable, a rac ve and efficient housing and neighborhoods to retain and a ract future residents”. We believe the development of the Twin Ponds housing complex directly aligns with this objec ve. The Plan notes that since the Great Recession (2007-2009) there has been a shor all in the construc on of single-family homes and a steeper decline in the development of “starter homes”. It adds, “although there has been a subsequent increase in the number of apartment units constructed over this same me period, there remains a shortage of units overall.” Con nuing it states, “today’s housing needs have changed drama cally due in large part to fewer households with children, few married households and an aging popula on overall. There is an increasing demand for apartments and a ached units on small lots in more walkable neighborhoods for example. Shi s in household size, makeup, lifestyle preference, declining willingness or ability to own a home and available inventory have led to an increase in demand for apartment units over detached owner-occupied homes.” The project will create approximately 309 new apartment units on an unu lized, former quarry in the Town of Manlius. The units will be comprised of one, two and three-bedroom apartments offering wide flexibility for differing family types. Further the site is conveniently located in close proximity to exis ng shopping, restaurants and a large medical complex allowing residents to easily walk to these loca ons. In addi on to having access to a large pond allowing on site water access the property is conveniently located alongside the Erie Canal Trailway path. These characteris cs meet both the lifestyle and walkability goals for new projects outlined in the Plan. We believe Twin Ponds meets the objec ves outlined in the Plan by simultaneously crea ng a new housing op on and doing so in a manner consistent with the characteris cs described in the Plan. 5. Is the Project considered infill in a populated area? If yes, please explain. The project is located on an unu lized, former quarry, in the Town of Manlius and is the quintessen al defini on of an infill project. Located near exis ng shopping, restaurants and a large medical complex allowing. Infilling a large por on of land between various developments along Burdick Street. 6. Is there addi onal infrastructure necessary to service the project? If yes, please explain. There are no significant addi onal infrastructure requirements for the project to proceed. Sewer, water, power and roads are all located adjacent to the property. Page 47 of 73 7. Is the project a part of a larger mixed-use development? If yes, please describe. No. It is a mul -family housing complex complimented by a small 5,700 sq. . commercial space.

Limited housing availability can stifle population growth, deter new businesses from expanding or locating here, and strain existing infrastructure. Rising housing costs may push residents to seek more affordable living outside the area, reducing the local labor pool. This shortage can also hinder efforts to attract and retain talent, essential for economic expansion and innovation. Addressing this challenge is crucial for sustainable economic development and community well-being throughout the county and the region .

Data encompasses single family homes, townhouses, and condominiums (Resale & New Construction) priced $150,000 to $499,999. The current inventory of available homes for sale has been steadily declining over the last several years and 2022 and 2023 are no exception. Today, a shortage of affordable housing in Onondaga County remains at crisis levels. Homeownership remains out of reach for many Onondaga County residents, as well as potential residents. The current median price of resale homes in Onondaga County, NY (New York), as of December 2023, was $241,550. Over the two-year period, January 2022 to December 2023, Onondaga County saw single family home prices increase by 11.3%. At the same time, the supply of homes for sale fell below one month in Onondaga County. Housing economists track the balance of supply and demand with a metric of “months” supply of homes for sale. It considers current inventory, replacement rate and disappearance rate. A six- month supply of homes for sale is widely recognized as a healthy market. As of December 2023, Onondaga County had 3.5 week of supply. In September of 2014 the county posted a 6.3 month supply, in September of 2018 a 2.8 month supply, and in September of 2022 at 1.2 month supply.

Data from United States Census Bureau Historic Permits by Metropolitan Statistical Area. The Syracuse MSA includes the central county of Onondaga (where the city of Syracuse is located) and also encompasses the neighboring counties of Oswego and Madison. An adage in the real estate industry says, when facing an inventory shortage, “you cannot sell your way out, you build your way out”. In this unique housing market home builders alone do not appear able to build out of the current deepening and long-lasting crisis. This is due to the fact that developing new communities is not a short-term endeavor as homebuilders face significant challenges including: Land Availability and Costs: Finding suitable and affordable land for new developments can be difficult, especially in urban areas where space is limited, and land prices are high. There is a significant shortage of approved building lots available. In addition, some communities with the most buildable land are resistant to development. Regulatory Hurdles: Navigating the complex web of building codes, zoning laws, permits, and environmental regulations can be time-consuming and costly. NIMBY’s have become adept at using the SEQRA and local approval processes to cause delays and sometimes make projects unviable. Financing Challenges: Securing financing for new construction projects can be challenging, especially in uncertain economic times. Lenders have stringent requirements and charge higher interest rates for construction loans. Any delay in construction costs the homebuilder significantly more in finance charges. Material Costs and Supply Chain Issues: The cost of building materials including lumber, steel, concrete, and other components can fluctuate significantly, impacting budgets. Additionally, supply chain disruptions can lead to delays in obtaining necessary materials. Developers can face significant delays in getting utilities (National Grid) to their developments which then adds cost and delays deliveries. Labor Shortages: The construction industry often faces labor shortages, particularly in skilled trades. This can both delay projects and increase labor costs. Page 69 of 73 Apartment Shortage Immediate February 1st March 1st 1 Bdrm 2 Bdrm 1 Bdrm 2 Bdrm 1 Bdrm 2 Bdrm Available Apartments (East Suburbs) 0 0 3 2 0 2 Available Apartments (Northern Suburbs) 6 6 5 3 3 1 On January 25, 2024, we contacted 14 apartment complexes in the eastern suburbs (Fayetteville, Manlius. Minoa and East Syracuse) and found none with availability. Most of the complexes advised they already had waiting lists for possible vacancy in February and March. To verify our findings, we contacted 20 apartment complexes in the northern suburbs representing 3,147 units. These results mirrored what we had discovered in the eastern suburbs. Previously, a study we conducted on October 4, 2022, of the northern suburbs found that only 4 units were available for immediate rental. A study we conducted in May of 2021 found that only 9 units were available for immediate rental. Three studies, over several years all yielding similar findings indicate that current apartment stock cannot offer a solution to our housing crisis. One advantage with apartment construction is that it can happen more quickly than single family home construction. Apartment construction meets the County’s desire for higher density housing. Higher density housing has less impact on community infrastructure and resources. Construction of high-density housing projects should be encouraged and assisted whenever possible as it provides the quickest solution for lessening the impacts of the current crisis, thus helping spur on economic development. The development of market rate apartments can provide more immediate relief as developers and home builders continue to gear up to address the housing crisis. It is important for local government to recognize that developers and builders of apartments face the same challenges as builders of single-family communities and endeavor to create support to fill this vital need. Conclusion Since our last study the housing crisis in Onondaga County has only deepened. There is insufficient availability of housing to meet the needs of the current residents of the County, much less those looking to relocate here. The housing crisis is not unique to our region, in fact it extends across the entire country to varying degrees. A confluence of factors has impacted the housing market overall. Very few housing developments have been approved in recent years; there is a shortage of shovel ready residential building lots; there has been a dramatic increase in the cost of building materials; there is an ongoing shortage of skilled labor; and there are historically low inventories of resale homes. Each factor has contributed to the current crisis. If not addressed a prolonged housing crisis will stifle economic development. This, in turn, will result in the loss of our most prized asset - our residents - as people are forced to move to outside our region to find housing. The development of apartment complexes will provide the most immediate, although limited path, to relief from the crisis. Projects like the one proposed by Heuber-Breuer Construction should be encouraged and assisted. The application for benefits deserves careful consideration by OCIDA as the agency itself has acknowledged the deepening housing crisis and its resulting impact on economic development. Today’s housing challenges compel us to evaluate housing projects from a new perspective in response to changing market dynamics.
