Second Reading of the Ordinance for Zoning District Amendment in the
Commercial Regional Service District on 16.86 acres, Resolution for Site Plan
Review on 16.86 acres. Location: 12195 Singletree Lane. (Ordinance for Zoning
District Amendment; Resolution for Site Plan Review)
Synopsis: This is final approval of plans and the development agreement for an
addition to Walmart, including a new truck dock for expanded groceries and other
site improvements. On January 19, 2010, Walmart submitted an extension to the
120 days for City consideration of their application until February 16, 2010.
However, Walmart requested earlier consideration if staff and Walmart were able to
come to agreement on a development agreement before that date. Based upon the
staff recommendation and Council direction during the February 19th workshop, all
references to a Special Service District have been removed from the agreement.
Provisions requiring Walmart to pay a fair share for streetscape improvements to
Singletree Lane have been retained. However, the median estimate of cost has been
used instead of the upper estimate. A cash escrow has been used rather than special
assessments based upon Walmart’s preference. Provisions requiring Walmart to
pay a fair share for streetscape improvements to Prairie Center Drive have been
removed to make the cash escrow more affordable within Walmart’s project budget.
The City could special assess for the Prairie Center Drive improvements in the
future. The development agreement includes a concession that Walmart does not
have to add brick to the existing rear of the building, which is currently
nonconforming. This concession is also to help Walmart afford the cash escrow for
the Singletree streetscape improvements within their project budget. Staff believes
the streetscape improvements will have higher public benefit than the brick on the
rear of the building. Other minor amendments have been made to the development
agreement at the request of Walmart and agreement by staff and the City Attorney.

any covenant, condition, or provision made herein, City may, at its option, institute and

completion in whole or part of all of the Developer’s obligations under this Agreement for
which a bond, letter of credit, cash deposit or other security (hereinafter referred to as the
“Security”) is required if the Developer defaults with respect to any term or condition in this
Agreement for which Security is required and fails to cure such default(s) within ten (10)
days after receipt of written notice thereof from the City; provided however if the nature of
the cure is such that it is not possible to complete the cure within ten (10) days, it shall be
sufficient if the Developer has initiated and is diligently pursuing such cure. The Developer
acknowledges that the City does not assume any obligations or duties of the Developer with
respect to any such contract agreements unless the City shall agree in writing to do so.

Security as appropriate. If the Security is drawn down on or a claim is made against the
Security, the proceeds shall be used to cure the default(s) and to reimburse the City for all
costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fee, incurred by the City in enforcing this
Agreement.
XXI The Developer hereby grants the City, its agents, employees, officers and contractors a
license to enter the Property to perform all work and inspections deemed appropriate by the
City in conjunction with this Agreement.
XXII This Agreement is a contract agreement between the City and the Developer. No provision
of this Agreement inures to the benefit of any third person, including the public at large, so as
to constitute any such person as a third-party beneficiary of the Agreement or of any one or
more of the terms hereof, or otherwise give rise to any cause of action for any person not a
party hereto.
