Hanson, City Administrator DATE: April 19, 2002 RE: Development Agreement — North Star Estates Storm Shelter IV/AMR Michael 1. Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Matt Anderson Rick ;Montour ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hansom Since securing grant funding for a storm shelter at North Star Estates, I have had difficulty in achieving performance from the owners of the park. It now appears they are ready to move forward with the project. However, I feel we should put a development agreement in place to document the obligations of the park owners to ensure their cooperation to complete this project in a timely fashion. This will also protect us from financial exposure given the fact that we will be incurring costs as the owner of the project to achieve its completion. The key points of this agreement will be as follows: • North Star will apply for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of a s storm shelter within the manufactured home park. • North Star will have to provide a cash deposit of $34,500 as outlined in our grant application. • North Star will have to commit to the transfer of land to the City to facilitate construction of the shelter, including appropriate easements /rights of access. North Star will have to commit to cooperating with the City to secure the common completion of this project. ■ North Star will have to enter into a long -term lease for their on -going operation and maintenance of this shelter. It should be noted that the park managers (Tom and Sue Ludden) and the parks' attorney (John Bonner) have been very cooperative in trying to move this project forward. cc: Tom and Sue Ludden Jeff Bonner
