The draft preliminary development agreement outlines the requirements of the approved Final PUD; the final specifications for all grading, utilities, drainage/stormwater provisions; the performance guarantees; and other city requirements to ensure that the development is implemented as the Final Plat and PUD were approved (Attachment D). All grading, utility, and stormwater work are subject to City review, inspection, and approval. The City Attorney prepared the agreement; however, the final review from CMK was not available in time for the release of this report. The City Council can authorize Staff to complete negotiations on the preliminary development agreement. If there are substantial changes from the draft preliminary agreement provided with this memo, Staff would bring the revised agreement back to the City Council for approval. Staff is recommending one additional condition not discussed at the Planning Commission review.
