Historv On June 6, 2006, the City Council approved the Development Contact for Stemmer Ridge. In September 2007, the development was substantially completed with the exception of Phase 2 which includes 18 lots. On August 1, 2005, the City Council approved assignment of the Development Contract from the original developer, Arcon Development, to the current developer, Toll Brothers, Inc. Current Circumstances As part of the Stemmer Ridge Development Agreement the Developer completed certain improvements on the City's behalf for which the City agreed to reimburse the Developer. The costs related to the forcemain air relief vault and watermain oversizing were estimated as noted in the Development Contract. This was in recognition that the City would need to make final design changes in the field which would result in additional costs to the Developer. The work has been completed and the Developer has requested reimbursement for these items along with a City directed seed specification change for the Howard Lake Park which is part of this development. The City's specifications have been changed so that all future parks will incorporate this seed mix at no cost to the City. The requested reimbursement which has been reviewed and recommended for approval by staff is as follow: Trunk Watermain Improvements: $ 18,825.00 Forcemain Air Relieve Valve Manhole: $ 27,000.00 City Park Seeding Specification Change: $ 6.180.00 Total Oversizing Reimbursement: $52,005.00 In addition to the above reimbursement, the Developer has requested an extension of the Completion Date for the phase 2 portion of the project from December 31, 2006, to December 31, 2007. The extension is a reflection of the fact that the Developer has several lots in inventory and the building market has slowed substantially.

Additionally staff recognizes there is an inventory of unsold lots in the City and recommends granting the extension. The City still has in place the Letter of Credit from the Developer guaranteeing the completion of the improvements. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The funding for the reimbursement shall come from the Trunk Reserve fund in the amount of $45,825 and the Capital Park Fund in the amount of $6,180. These funds are available for reimbursement to the Developer. ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives are as follows: 1. Approve Amendment No, 1 to the Development Contract for Stemmer Ridge. 2.
