Summary

The board voted to send the Willow Creek townhouse development agreement (168 units on Grove Street, adjacent to Choice Beverage USA) to City Council pending final Exhibit B — engineer drawings and municipal tap approval from Two Rivers.

City staff updated the board on the Willow Creek development agreement for a townhouse project on Grove Street, beside Choice Beverage USA. Staff said the project includes 168 units and is in the construction‑drawing phase; the developer is working with Two Rivers to obtain a municipal tap connection and staff is still awaiting Exhibit B (the engineer drawings from Two Rivers).

Staff explained the development agreement sets timelines, completion exhibits and binds the developer and the city to stated obligations. The agreement allows for certain procedural flexibilities, including a one‑year renewal for timeline items and standard plan‑approval durations (staff referenced 45‑day plan approval windows and 12‑month timeline language within agreement templates).

A board member moved to forward the Willow Creek development agreement to City Council conditioned on approval of Exhibit B from Two Rivers; the motion was seconded (Norris named as the seconder) and carried unanimously. Staff said the board’s approval tonight would be pending final Exhibit B and Two Rivers’ sign‑off before any construction approvals proceed.

Next steps: staff will place the development agreement on the City Council agenda for a public hearing, with construction and utility approvals contingent on Two Rivers’ municipal tap decision.
