Development Manager Lazan provided an update on open items in The COR as this is the last week of the Landform development management contract. He stated there are four active projects: 1) McDonalds is under agreement at the southeast corner of Sunwood Drive and Armstrong Boulevard and are anxious to get started but concerned the common improvements are not underway or the plat recorded; 2 and 3) SuperAmerica has two active purchase agreements, one in the Sunwood retail area and one on the other end at Sunwood Drive and Ramsey Boulevard. Both sites are under agreement but when the Sunwood retail area timeline changed they were not able to close. SuperAmerica would like to start this spring on both sites so he needs to work through resolving the plat for recording; and, 4) North Commons is where a builder placed a deposit on the first lot but construction needs to be completed and the plat recorded so the parcels can be sold. Development Manager Lazan stated those are the four active development deals plus there are a handful of coordination items including the PUMA parking agreement, Flaherty and Collins, finalizing the plat for COR 2, 3, and 4, finalizing the AUAR, the North Commons stormwater resolution, and management plan. They will finalize the grading and earth work plan once the stormwater issue is resolved. With the SuperAmerica on the east end, the access configuration needs to be resolved on the south side of Sunwood Drive to move forward with that real estate deal. There is also the issue of construction of the initial improvements in the middle of Sunwood Drive. Development Manager Lazan indicated those issues are engineering contracts and not tied to the Landform development management contract. He stated he had already provided HRA Executive Director Ulrich with a more detailed report on the outstanding items. Commissioner Riley asked what is holding up the plat recording for COR 2 and 3. Development Manager Lazan stated he has been unable to work on the project for the last three weeks due to a payment dispute with the City. That dispute was resolved this afternoon so they can now finalize easements for recording the plat, which has been executed and needs supporting documents. Commissioner Riley asked if either of the two SuperAmerica sites are under contract. Development Manager Lazan explained the SuperAmerica contract terminated last fall but they expressed interest in renewing contracts and in performing the initial improvements that the HRA approved undertaking, if needed, for McDonalds. HRA Executive Director Ulrich stated staff is prepared to transition the open items and perform the work. He stated he thinks the list is fairly completed in items done and the City is requesting intellectual plans and engineering drawings to continue the effort and complete the work. The City has not yet received those documents. Development Manager Lazan stated there are no issues on that front and that information is electronic data on a cloud drive. He stated he will make that data available and work with staff to transition those documents to the City. Housing and Redevelopment Authority / March 26, 2013 Page 4 of 5
