BACKGROUND: In 2005, the City and Contractor Property Developers Company ("CPDC") entered into a development agreement for the development of Towne Lakes 6th Addition. CPDC installed some of the infrastructure before the housing bust hit and all work was stopped. The bank eventually foreclosed on the property and sold the property to the Kilbur Development Group in 2010. The City and Kilbur entered into an amendment to the Developer's Agreement which required Kilbur to complete some of the more immediate infrastructure improvements and allowed others to be delayed until residential units are constructed or until 2020. Kilbur has completed all obligations that are required to be completed at this time, and remains in compliance with the Development Agreement. When Kilbur purchased the property it made it clear that it was merely an investment group which intended on holding the property for a period of time until the market recovered and the property could be sold to a developer that would finish the development and construct the homes. Kilbur now proposes to sell the property to a buyer that will complete the development. At this point City Staff is recommending that the City enter into the attached Second Amendment to the Development Agreement which would essentially transfer Kilbur's development obligations to the new buyer. In addition, upon purchasing the land, the new buyer would dedicate the necessary right of way needed for the construction of Large Avenue and agree to py half of the costs of constructing Large Avenue at such time as either the Towne P Lakes 7tplat is approved or Hunters Pass Addition is approved. KEY ISSUES: Other than the changes relating to the dedication of Large Avenue and its future construction, the proposed action merely substitutes a new owner for the Kilbur Development group under the existing developer's agreement and its subsequent amendments. The existing letter of credit will either be maintained or replaced in the same amount by the buyer. The buyer intends on commencing construction on the Towne Lakes 6th Addition plat as soon as possible.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The change in ownership will not have any financial impact upon the City. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Except for the dedication of Large Avenue and the agreement to pay half its costs, the transfer of ownership and this Second Amendment will not alter the existing terms of the Developer's Agreement as amended by the Kiibur amendment.
