Mr. Elmer presented the draft of the Development Services Agreement (DSA) with OPUS Development Company LLC (ODC). Since the last meeting, Mr. Balnes, Tim Burke (Village Solicitor), and various staff members addressed the two issues from the May meeting:
1) Several CIC members expressed concerns regarding the prevailing/non-prevailing clause. The Village suggested changing to an arbitration process. ODC denied that proposal. The original clause was stricken from the DSA.
2) The paragraph regarding the ODC’s financial responsibilities in the case that this agreement was annulled was refined.
Mr. Balnes quickly went through the anticipated schedule of the development.
ODC will be doing the marketing and development of a Class A building on the 13 acre site at Glendale-Milford Road and I-75. They must meet every criteria of the Master Development Plan before the Village is obligated to sell the parcels to them for $100.00 per parcel.
A motion was made by Mr. Harwood and seconded by Mr. Pearlman to approve the revised DSA as presented and forward the approval process to Village Council at tonight’s regularly scheduled council meeting. Mr. Finan suggested that Council would have their first reading tonight and vote on the final approval at their July 9, 2015 council meeting.
