hills master plan community including the incorporated monument hills
development standards and design guidelines monument hills parks
agreement and other incorporated elements. This is sponsored by
Councilwoman Nancy Brun and I will turn it over to Mr. Floyd.
» Yes, thank you Mayor Prom Seth Floyd for the record. Um, real quickly, this item,
you've seen this before. Uh, you've seen the development agreement. This is
essentially a ministerial step that is required to adopt an ordinance. But just
to give you a quick summary of what Monument Hills is, it is in located in W
6, uh, 940 acres, about 6,000 units of housing, a military housing community, a
10acre city park, and a 30 acre parcel devoted for economic development, a
future economic development. And I'm happy to answer any questions. If not,
uh, John Redillis, assistant city attorney, has a something he'd like to
comment on, a clarification or change. >> I don't have any questions. Are there
any up here? >> Mr. Merilla?
» Yes. Uh, council. Um, subject to discussions with the developer, we
thought need some clarification language regarding the economic development
parcel in the timelines for development, and those changes, very minor, were
submitted to the city clerk for the record.
» Can you highlight what those changes are?
» Yes. Um, essentially the city has seven years to acquire an economic development
partner and if during that time the economic development partner doesn't
commence construction within three years after we negotiate a disposition and
development agreement with that economic development partner, the developer has
the opportunity to purchase the property back from the city at the cost we
acquired it from the developer. >> If I were to summarize that, the city
has seven years to find a developer and then three years to commence
development. And if we fail to do that, then the devel then the master plan
community developer can purchase the property back at this price we sold it
for. >> That's exactly summary.
» Are there any questions up here? >> Hearing and seeing none. It's a public
hearing. If anybody would like to comment, please do so now.
Hearing and seeing none, we'll close comment public comment period and
entertain a motion. >> This is not as popular.
