Council approves development agreement with Turner & Company for mixed-use project
Summary
A walk-on development agreement with Turner & Company was approved to support a mixed-use project that contemplates at least 600 housing units and 60,000 sq. ft. of commercial space, with incentives (RHID/CID) capped at $32.6 million and an 80% completion target by 2034; the developer may terminate before December 2025.
The Edgerton City Council authorized a development agreement with Turner & Company at its May 8 meeting to enable a proposed mixed-use development at US 56/Sunflower Road and 199th Street.
City Administrator Beth Linn told the Council the agreement calls for a minimum of 600 housing units across 44 acres and at least 60,000 square feet of commercial space on 15 acres. The developer would be responsible for intersection and sewer infrastructure off the developer's core parcel, including a sewer force main and lift station; the agreement anticipates RHID and CID financing mechanisms with incentives capped at $32.6 million and provides for district collapse when the cap is reached. Linn said the agreement includes timelines, including an 80% completion milestone by the end of 2034, and that the developer may terminate before December 2025.
Derek Turner, representing Turner & Company, introduced himself and described the business as a third-generation family enterprise. Mayor Donald Roberts said the City had reviewed the developer's work in Oklahoma and believes they could be a good partner. Councilmember Deb Lebakken moved to approve Linn's suggested changes and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement; the motion passed 4-0.
The agreement is an initial development step; subsequent approvals (planning, zoning, RHID statutory processes) will be required before construction.
