Council approves redevelopment and development agreements with Legacy Realty, developer to pay $13,000 at closing
Summary
The council approved a redevelopment/professional services agreement and a development agreement with Legacy Realty for property near West Davis/West State Street; the developer will pay $13,000 at closing and the city will participate in a Grayson County interlocal agreement requiring a $6,200 city contribution to the road rebuild.
The council approved a package of agreements with Legacy Realty and Investments LLC to enable redevelopment of property behind the bank at the end of West State/West Davis Street. Staff explained the redevelopment and professional services agreement will allow the city attorney and engineer to negotiate with the developer and invoice the developer directly for those services; staff recommended approval and council voted to authorize the agreement.
On the related development agreement, staff said the developer agreed in writing to pay the City of Howe $13,000 at closing to cover certain costs. Chair (speaker 2) described the street arrangement: once West Denny/West Davis Street is improved to chip‑and‑seal the city will take ownership, and the city will pay a $6,200 share under an interlocal agreement with Grayson County. As the chair read in the meeting, “The developer has agreed to pay the city of Howe $13,000 at the time of closing on the property sale, which is written into the development agreement.” The council approved the agreements without recorded opposition.
The agreements also tie future street‑improvement responsibilities to lot phasing; staff recommended and the council approved inspection and utility‑inspection contingencies for the plats connected to the development.
