Consider approval of a development agreement with SPC Hillcrest.
City Manager Corder said that this is a development agreement between the
City and SPC Hillcrest which allows for both entities to access each other's
property during construction of the SPC Hillcrest project (a mixed-use office
and retail development with above and below-grade parking)and a potential
City project.The City is moving forward with the purchase of property
located on the 3400 block of Haynie.The purchase of this property would
allow the City to explore the feasibility of providing underground parking.The
easement in this development agreement also allows for equipment,
materials,vehicles,tools,machinery,and construction personnel to use the
properties.The developer has access to rights-of-way and easements and
places to stage their equipment.While there are no financial considerations
at this time,the agreement requires the City to pay for a proportionate share
of parking equipment (access control arms,security keypads,etc.)if the City
constructs a parking facility on the City property.The temporary easements
can be terminated with a 30 day notice by either party.
A motion was made by Councilmember Randy Biddle,seconded by
Council member Taylor Armstrong,to approve this agreement.Themotion
carried by the following vote:
Aye:5 -Mayor Lane,Councilmember Armstrong,Mayor Pro Tem Moore,

operation agreement with SPC Hillcrest for shared access to driveways,
stairwells,ramps,elevators,etc.from the SPC Hillcrest side of the
development to a City parking garage,if such garage is ever constructed.
There are no financial considerations for the Shared Access Facilities at this
time.However,the agreement does require the City to pay for a

and replacement (if necessary)of the facilities if the City ultimately
constructs a below-grade parking garage.The costs are unknown at this
time.
