Council approves extension to William C. Knapp development agreement, adds optional city-constructed road reimbursement term
Summary
Council extended William C. Knapp's construction deadline for a segment of Northeast 7th and Madison Drive from June 30, 2026 to December 31, 2026 and added an option for the city to construct the Madison Drive extension with developer reimbursement; a traffic study estimated the left-turn lane cost at $410,505 to be funded via TIF if used.
The council approved an amendment to the post-closing development agreement with William C. Knapp that extends Knapp's deadline to complete a portion of Northeast 7th and Madison Drive from June 30, 2026 to December 31, 2026 and adds flexibility allowing the city to construct the Madison Drive extension with reimbursement from the developer.
Staff noted a 2024 traffic impact study that recommended a left-turn lane on East Northside Drive to serve both the Big Creek Commons subdivision and the regional park; staff estimated the cost of that turn lane at $410,505 and said the proposed financing mechanism would be tax-increment financing (TIF), which would require a separate development agreement. Council members asked why the original deadline was missed; staff said coordination on turn-lane requirements and park phasing contributed to the delay. The council approved the amendment by roll call.
