CITY COUNCIL MEETING COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: January 3, 2017
AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of approval of a resolution approving Development
Agreement related to developer’s extension of SE Tallgrass Lane to
Grand Prairie Parkway
FORMAT: Resolution
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: The Mayor and City Council have as one of their
overall goals to have Managed and Planned Growth and Development.
One of the priorities of this goal is to construct Westown Parkway from
Grand Prairie Parkway to Parkview Crossing. The construction of this
roadway will provide a critical east-west connection in the community
and open up several acres for commercial development in the Kettlestone
Development. Additionally, Tallgrass Lane will be constructed from
Grand Prairie Parkway to Parkview Crossing with the same benefits to
the community.
City staff has negotiated development agreements with adjacent property
owners for the construction of the Westown Parkway and the Tallgrass
Lane connecting at Grand Prairie Parkway. The agreements are with
Lolowau for the property north of Westown Parkway and KE Brewer for
the area south of Westown Parkway and north of Tallgrass Lane.
Under the development agreement with Lolowau, the City will construct
and finance the roadway. Lolowau will deed the right-of-way and
provide all necessary easements to the City for the construction project.
They will also pay the City $400,000 for their share of the roadway costs
at the time their land is sold for development. The development with
Brewer is similar and includes a $200,000 incentive for the construction
of Tallgrass Lane. The City owns the property adjacent to the south side
of Tallgrass Lane.

COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT:
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: The approval of these agreements enables the City to

City Council approval of the development agreements.
