Old Town-CS100720 (8/3/2010) Keith Marvin - Fwd: FW: Coppell ProjectPage 1 From: Mindi Hurley To:klaughlin@njdhs.com; Phillips, Clay; psmith@njdhs.com CC:Griffin, Ken; Marvin, Keith; Reid, Brad; Sieb, Gary; Steer, Matt Date: 7/20/2010 4:38 PM Subject: Fwd: FW: Coppell Project Attachments:Development Agreement - City Draft 6-8-10 - RL.doc; Option Agreement - City Draft 6-8-10 - RL.doc; Shared Parking Agreeement (City7-12-10 redline of C SE 4-15-10 draft) - RL.doc Here are their revisions to the last set of documents we sent them. Please look these over and let me know any issues you have with the changes they made. Pete and Kevin, we might need to sit down and discuss some of these changes based on the fact that they changed some of the things we very specifically added last time (i.e. the reimbursement of the $50,000, etc.). Please let me know your thoughts. Mindi Hurley Economic Development Coordinator City of Coppell 255 Parkway Blvd. Coppell, TX 75019 (972) 304-3677 (972) 304-3673 (fax) mhurley@coppelltx.gov www.coppelltx.gov >>> "Jeff Fink" <jfink@applenorrisfink.com> 7/20/2010 4:25 PM >>> Mindi, at the request of CSE Development, attached please find revised versions of the Development Agreement, Option Agreement and Shared Parking Agreement. The documents have all been red-lined to show changes made from the most recent City drafts. We thought it would be helpful to explain some of the changes in greater detail so that we can hopefully reach a prompt resolution of the remaining outstanding issues. A. Development Agreement: 1. Definition of "Covenants" - Due to the desire to get input and approval from the residential developer and project lender, CSE proposes that the Covenants be drafted and approved during the Inspection Period. Note that City approval is a condition to the right of CSE to purchase the Phase One Land (See new Section 2.2(d) of the Option Agreement). 2. Section 6.8 - After further consideration, it seemed to make more sense to have the City be responsible for the maintenance and repair of parking areas and sidewalks located on public land (including those portions paid for by CSE as part of of the Private Infrastructure). CSE does not believe the purchasers of lots will be willing to absorb this cost when the parking is not dedicated for private use. 3. Section 7.6 - CSE cannot agree to open-ended uses such as "public recreational areas" or "public buildings" that might adversely impact the remainder of the project. CSE is willing to consider other specific approved uses. B. Option Agreement 1. Section 2.4 - CSE requests 30 days from the end of the Inspection Period to exercise the option on the Phase One Land in order to have a reasonable amount of time to satisfy City and expected lender requirements for exercise of the option. (8/3/2010) Keith Marvin - Fwd: FW: Coppell ProjectPage 2 2. Section 3.2(c) - CSE has never agreed to forfeit the initial $50,000 deposit if the City is unable to provide title in an acceptable state for development. In addition, CSE believes that it is a fair request and a likely condition of any lender for CSE to recover a pro rata share of its costs, including payments for the private infrastructure and utility work, if an affirmative action by the City post-closing of the Phase One Land causes CSE to terminate the Option Agreement due to a title defect. Due to the large sums which will have been expended by CSE at this stage, they cannot be put into a position of walking away from that investment with nothing more than a pro rata return of the deposit. 3. Section 4.3(b) - Same reasoning as Section 3.2(c). CSE needs the ability to recover sunk costs if the project is terminated due to a city default. C. Shared Parking Agreement 1. Section 3.1 - Makes clear that the City will allow the inclusion of the public parking areas for the purpose of satisfying the minimum parking requirements for the project. 2. Section 3.7 - Buyers purchasing lots in the project will want and need assurances that the parking availability will not be materially changed or reduced. 3. Section 3.8 - Confirms City responsibility for maintenance of the public parking areas and sidewalks consistent with the Development Agreement. 4. Section 5.1(b) - Confirms that the parking agreement will remain in effect with respect to lots already purchased pursuant to the Option Agreement. A complete termination of the agreement will likely eliminate any ability to sell lots since the buyer will have no assurances on available parking and satisfaction of minimum parking requirements. My client and I would be happy to meet with City staff and legal counsel if needed to discuss these issues and provide further clarification of the need for these changes. Please let us know how you would like to proceed from here. Thanks.
