Maxwell council backs modified terms for JC Real Estate development
Summary
The Maxwell City Council voted to support proposed terms for a development agreement with JC Real Estate Solutions LLC after requiring a handful of edits; council and the developer described an initial phase of roughly 18 lots with four townhome units and two–four single-family homes.
The Maxwell City Council voted to approve a resolution expressing support for proposed terms to be included in a development agreement with JC Real Estate Solutions LLC, with council-directed edits to contract language and governance provisions.
Council member Steve moved the resolution and said the council would accept the draft’s red-line inserts, adjust language in the fourth paragraph, and change a clause that called for hiring a city administrator so that the mayor would perform the designated duties instead. The motion was seconded and passed on a voice vote.
A representative for the developer described the initial phase as approximately 18 lots, with plans for an initial six to eight housing units on the first piece: "this first piece we're looking at there there's four town home units and then two to four single family units," the representative said. The developer said the phase would include a mix of townhome-style twin homes and single-family units and that additional lots could be sold to other builders to accelerate later phases.
Council members asked for clarification on zoning and ordinance compliance for twin homes, and a council member confirmed the site is zoned R-2 and that the city's ordinance permits twin homes (a split-lot approach where each half can receive its own lot). The developer said they were working with their broker and that an asking price/positioning figure discussed was "240" (context: price discussion with the landowner).
The resolution indicates council support for the development terms and directs staff to continue legal and procedural review before final agreement terms are executed. No formal sale or final development contract was executed at the meeting; the resolution expressed support for the project terms pending final documentation and legal review.
Next steps: staff will continue coordination with the broker and property owner, refine paperwork for legal review, and return with finalized documents to be formalized in a future meeting.
