development standards and design
guidelines monument hills parks

16
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,760
agreement and other incorporated
elements. This is sponsored by

17
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:57,840
Councilwoman Nancy Brun and I will turn
it over to Mr. Floyd.

18
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,760
» Yes, thank you Mayor Prom Seth Floyd for
the record. Um, real quickly, this item,

19
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,200
you've seen this before. Uh, you've seen
the development agreement. This is

20
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,959
essentially a ministerial step that is
required to adopt an ordinance. But just

21
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:15,680
to give you a quick summary of what
Monument Hills is, it is in located in W

22
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:20,720
6, uh, 940 acres, about 6,000 units of
housing, a military housing community, a

23
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:25,200
10acre city park, and a 30 acre parcel
devoted for economic development, a

24
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,879
future economic development. And I'm
happy to answer any questions. If not,

25
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,840
uh, John Redillis, assistant city
attorney, has a something he'd like to

26
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,879
comment on, a clarification or change.
>> I don't have any questions. Are there

27
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:40,720
any up here?
>> Mr. Merilla?

28
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:43,760
» Yes. Uh, council. Um, subject to
discussions with the developer, we

29
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:47,360
thought need some clarification language
regarding the economic development

30
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,400
parcel in the timelines for development,
and those changes, very minor, were

31
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,239
submitted to the city clerk for the
record.

32
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:55,760
» Can you highlight what those changes
are?

33
00:03:52,560 --> 00:04:00,080
» Yes. Um, essentially the city has seven
years to acquire an economic development

34
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:03,599
partner and if during that time the
economic development partner doesn't

35
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,599
commence construction within three years
after we negotiate a disposition and

36
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,040
development agreement with that economic
development partner, the developer has

37
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:14,720
the opportunity to purchase the property
back from the city at the cost we

38
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:19,359
acquired it from the developer.
>> If I were to summarize that, the city

39
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:22,000
has seven years to find a developer and
then three years to commence

40
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:26,240
development. And if we fail to do that,
then the devel then the master plan

41
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:28,160
community developer can purchase the
property back at this price we sold it

42
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:33,840
for.
>> That's exactly summary.

43
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,400
» Are there any questions up here?
>> Hearing and seeing none. It's a public

44
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:40,080
hearing. If anybody would like to
comment, please do so now.

45
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:45,360
Hearing and seeing none, we'll close
comment public comment period and

46
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:53,000
entertain a motion.
>> This is not as popular.

47
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,000
» There's a motion. Please vote

48
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:59,600
and post. And that item passes and will
be up for adoption on the January 21st,

49
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,919

51
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:09,840
agenda, please do so now
