From: Rob Cohen, Director of Public Works
Subject: Approve Residential Developer Agreement with Landlock, LLC
for the Matthews Court development in an amount not to
exceed $460,000.
Action
Requested: Approve Residential Developer Agreement with Landlock, LLC for
the Matthews Court development in an amount not to exceed
$460,000.
Background
Information: Landlock, LLC (Developer) is requesting approval for the Matthews
Court Residential Developer Agreement (RDA) which includes
reimbursement costs for the construction of Zena Rucker Road in
front of the development. This RDA also provides reimbursement
for the improvements needed to extend Zena Rucker Road west
from the Matthews Court development which will require the
construction of box culverts to cross Pecan Creek. The Developer
also proposes urban design enhancements to the Zena Rucker
roadway creek crossing. The proposed enhancements to the
crossing include stone columns and architectural railing consistent
with the elements of the City’s Urban Design Plan (Exhibit E).
This development was originally approved on September 1, 2015,
as an eight lot subdivision with a public road. On August 2, 2016,
City Council amended the original zoning approval to allow a
private street with a gated entry. The above referenced
enhancements to the roadway creek crossing were initially
presented to City Council on August 18, 2015 (Item 7D) during the
first reading of the original zoning request. At this meeting the
Developer mentioned that he anticipated coming back to Council at
a later date to ask for a waiver of fees in the RDA. At this time the
Developer is requesting that their park fees be held at the
applicable rate of $3,000/lot at time of their initial zoning application
rather than the current rate of $6,250/lot. This would result in
$24,000 total park fees rather than $50,000, essentially providing a
$26,000 credit to offset the expense of the proposed improvements
to enhance the appearance of roadway creek crossing and the right
Item 9A

of way adjacent to the development. The Developer requests a
contribution in an amount not to exceed $20,000 should the City
want similar improvements installed on the north side of the
roadway creek crossing.
The City participation amount for the construction of the Zena
Rucker extension, including paving, hike and bike trail, sidewalk,
box culverts, stone veneered headwalls, right of way, engineering
fees, and urban design enhancements is an amount not to exceed
$460,000.
The following table is a summary of the public improvements which
are proposed to be built with the Matthews Court development:

“City”, and the undersigned Developer, Landlock, LLC, hereinafter referred to as the
“Developer”, of Matthews Court, hereinafter referred to as the “Addition” to the City of
Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, for the installation of certain community facilities
located therein, and to provide city services thereto. It is understood by and between
the parties that this Agreement is applicable to the 8 lots contained within the Addition
and to the off-site improvements necessary to support the Addition.
I. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
A. It is agreed and understood by the parties hereto that the Developer shall employ
a civil engineer licensed to practice in the State of Texas for the design and
preparation of the plans and specifications for the construction of all facilities
covered by this Agreement.
B. The Developer hereby agrees to comply with all federal, state, and local laws that
are applicable to development of this Addition.
C. The Developer agrees that the completed project will be constructed in
conformance with the Development Site Plan, Construction Plans and other
permits or regulatory authorizations granted by the City during the development
process.
D. Since the Developer is prepared to develop the Addition as rapidly as possible
and is desirous of selling lots to builders and having residential building activity
begin as quickly as possible and the City is desirous of having the Addition
completed as rapidly as possible, the City agrees to release 10% of the lots (1
lot) after installation of public facilities (streets, sidewalks, water, sewer,
drainage, and any other public infrastructure improvements). Building permits
shall not be issued until all Public Works infrastructure is deemed substantially
complete by the City, all appropriate Fire Code requirements are satisfied and
street signs with street names are in place. Temporary, all-weather signs as
specified in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) securely
fastened in the ground are acceptable until permanent street signs are installed.
The Developer recognizes that the remaining building permits or Certificates of
Occupancy for residential dwellings will not be issued until the supporting public
works infrastructure including permanent street signs with block numbers and
regulatory signs within the Addition have been accepted by the City. This will
serve as an incentive to the Developer to see that all remaining items are
completed.
Page 2 of 18 2013 Revision
E. The Developer will present to the City, in form acceptable to the City, either (1) a
cash escrow, (2) Letters of Credit, or (3) performance bond and payment bond,
guaranteeing and agreeing to pay an amount equal to 100% of the value of the
construction cost of all public facilities (streets, sidewalks, water, sewer,
drainage, and any other public infrastructure improvements) to be constructed by
the Developer, and providing for payment to the City of the total remaining
amounts required for the completion of the public facilities if the Developer fails to

the City and Developer. All bonds shall be issued by a bonding company
licensed to do business in the State of Texas . All Letters of Credit must meet
the Requirements for Irrevocable Letters of Credit which have been incorporated
herein.
The value of the performance bond, letters of credit or cash escrow will reduce at
a rate consistent with the amount of work that has been completed by the
Developer and accepted by the City. Performance and payment bonds, Letters
of Credit or cash escrow from the prime contractor(s), hereinafter referred to as
Contractor, or other entity acceptable to the City, may be accepted in lieu of
Developer’s obligations specified above, at the discretion of the City.

submitted by the Developer or Contractor on a form other than the one which has
been previously approved by the City as “acceptable” shall be submitted to the
City Attorney and this Agreement shall not be considered in effect until such City
Attorney has approved the instrument. Approval by the City shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
G. Any surety company through which a bond is written shall be a surety company
duly authorized to do business in the State of Texas, provided that the City,
through the City Manager, shall retain the right to reject any surety company as a
surety for any work under this or any other Developer’s Agreement within the City
regardless of such company’s authorization to do business in Texas. Approval
by the City shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
H. The Developer agrees to furnish to the City a 2-year maintenance bond, letters of
credit or cash escrow in an amount equal to 100% of the cost of construction of
all public facilities (streets, sidewalks, water, sewer, drainage, and any other
public infrastructure improvements). This 2-year maintenance bond, letters of
credit or cash escrow will take effect on the date of final acceptance of all of the
public facilities in the Addition, and shall secure all costs of maintenance of such
public facilities for a period of two (2) years. The 2-year maintenance bond,
letters of credit or cash escrow will be supplied to the City by the contractors
performing the work, and the City will be named as the beneficiary.
I. No work shall be initiated on or in said Addition by Developer, save and except
as provided above; until the payment, performance and 2-year maintenance
Page 3 of 18 2013 Revision

provided to the City.
J. It is further agreed and understood by the parties hereto that upon final
acceptance by the City, title to all public facilities and improvements mentioned
herein above which are intended to be public facilities shall be vested in the City,
and Developer hereby relinquishes any right, title, or interest in and to said
facilities or any part thereof. It is further understood and agreed that until the City

Director of Public Works. It is understood that Developer may put in
signage having unique architectural features, however, should the signs
be moved or destroyed by any means, the City is only responsible for
replacement of the standard signage and poles. Developer or Home
Owners Association will be responsible for any additional cost for
replacement of custom or unique signs.
2. All street construction will be subject to inspection and acceptance by the
City. No work will begin on any street in said Addition prior to complying with
all the requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement. All streets,
water, sewer, drainage, and any other public infrastructure improvements
which are anticipated to be installed within the street or within the street right-
of-way will be completed prior to the commencement of street construction on
the specific section of street in which the utility improvements have been
placed or for which they are proposed.
The Developer hereby agrees to advise the Director of Public Works as soon
as possible when any physical modifications to the alignment of public
infrastructure is required after construction has been completed. The
Developer agrees to cooperatively work with and assist in the coordination of
such modifications in a manner that will be least disruptive to street
construction and/or the integrity of surrounding public infrastructure.
B. ON-SITE WATER
The Developer hereby agrees to install water facilities to serve all lots shown on
the final plat of the Addition in accordance with plans and specifications to be
prepared by the Developer’s engineer and released by the City for construction
and in accordance with Ordinance No. 170, as amended, and any other local,
state and federal regulations. The Developer shall be responsible for all
construction costs, materials and engineering. In the event that certain public
water lines are to be oversized to comply with the City’s Water Master Plan, the
City will reimburse the Developer for the oversize cost greater than the cost of an
8” line.
C. ON-SITE SANITARY SEWER FACILITIES
The Developer hereby agrees to install sanitary sewer collection facilities to
service all lots as shown on the final plat of the Addition. Sanitary sewer facilities
will be installed in accordance with the plans and specifications to be prepared by
the Developer’s engineer and released by the City. Further, the Developer
agrees to complete this installation in accordance with Ordinance No. 440, as
amended, and any other local, state and federal regulations. The Developer
shall be responsible for all construction costs, materials, engineering, permits
and impact fees. In the event that certain public sanitary sewer lines are to be
oversized to comply with the City’s Wastewater Master Plan, the City will

E. EROSION CONTROL
The Developer agrees to comply with Ordinance No. 946, as amended,
regarding erosion and sediment control during construction of the Addition. The
Developer also agrees to comply with the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality TPDES General Permit No. TXR150000, and all other applicable local,
state and federal ordinances, regulations and laws.
The Developer agrees to keep the streets and storm drain systems (MS4) free
from soil build-up by using soil control measures, such as those included in the
NCTCOG STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR PUBLIC WORKS
CONSTRUCTION, Division 1000 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL to
prevent soil erosion. It will be the Developer’s responsibility to present to the
Director of Public Works a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
and/or erosion control plan that will be implemented for this Addition. When in
the opinion of the Director of Public Works there is sufficient soil build-up on the
streets or other drainage areas and notification has been given to the Developer,
the Developer will have seventy-two (72) hours to clear the soil from the affected
areas. If the Developer does not remove the soil from the affected areas within
72 hours, the City may remove the soil build-up either by contract or by City
forces and place the soil within the Addition at the Developer’s expense. All
expenses must be paid to the City prior to acceptance of the Addition.
Developer or its contractors must commence final stabilization of any disturbed
areas immediately after completion of all soil disturbing activities. The TDPDES
General Permit No. TXR150000 defines final stabilization as when all soil-
disturbing activities at the site have been completed and a uniform (i.e., evenly
distributed, without large bare areas) perennial vegetative cover with a density of
at least 70% of the native background vegetative cover for the area has been
ESTABLISHED on ALL unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent
Page 7 of 18 2013 Revision
structures, or equivalent permanent stabilization measures (such as the use of
riprap, gabions, or geotextiles) have been employed.
Where construction activity on a portion of the site has temporarily ceased, and
earth disturbing activities will be resumed within 21 days, temporary erosion
control and stabilization measures are not required on that portion of the site,
except as provided below. Erosion control and stabilization measures must be
initiated as soon as practicable in semi-arid areas and areas experiencing
droughts by the 14th day after construction activity.
After final stabilization has been established on all disturbed areas of the Addition
and all permanent erosion control measures have been installed and working
effectively, the Developer shall request final acceptance of the project to the
Director of Public Works. Inspection of the site will be required to ensure that the
erosion control plan has been properly installed and the permanent erosion
control measures will prevent soil erosion from the newly created lots from
washing into the street right-of-way, drainage-way or other private property.
F. USE OF PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY
It is agreed by and between the City and Developer that the Developer may
provide unique amenities within public right-of-way, such as landscaping,
irrigation, lighting, patterned concrete, etc., for the enhancement of the Addition.
The Developer agrees to maintain these amenities until such responsibility is
turned over to a homeowners association. The Developer and his successors
and assigns understand that the City shall not be responsible for the replacement
of these amenities under any circumstances and further agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the City from any and all damages, loss or liability of any kind
whatsoever by reason of injury to property or third person occasioned by its use
of the public with regard to these improvements and the Developer shall, at his
own cost and expense, defend and protect the City against all such claims and
demands.
G. AMENITIES
It is agreed by and between the City and Developer that the Addition may
incorporate a number of unique amenities and aesthetic improvements in
common areas of the Addition such as ponds, aesthetic lakes, unique
landscaping, walls, patterned concrete, specialty signage and accessory
facilities. The Developer shall be responsible for the construction and
maintenance of all such aesthetic or specialty items such as walls, vegetation,
signage, landscaping, street furniture, pond and lake improvements until such
responsibility is turned over to a homeowners association.

Such approval shall not be deemed to be an assumption of such
responsibility and liability by the City for any defect in the design and
specifications prepared by the consulting engineer, his officers, agents,
servants or employees, it being the intent of the parties that approval by the
Director of Public Works signifies the City’s approval on only the general
design concept of the improvements to be constructed. In this connection,
the Developer shall for a period of two (2) years after the acceptance by the
City of the completed construction project, indemnify and hold harmless the
City, its officers, agents, servants and employees, from any loss, damage,
liability or expense on account of damage to property and injuries, including

streets and to be qualified in all respects to bid on public streets and to be
qualified in all respects to bid on public projects of a similar nature.
F. Work performed under the Agreement shall be completed within two (2) years
from the date thereof. In the event the work is not completed within the two
(2) year period, the City may, at its election, draw on the performance bond,
Letters of Credit, or other security provided by Developer and complete such
work at Developer’s expense, provided however, that if the construction under
this Agreement shall have started within the two (2) year period, the City may
agree to renew the Agreement with such renewed Agreement to be in
compliance with the City policies in effect at that time.
G. The City is an exempt organization under Section 151.309, Tax Code, and
the facilities constructed under this Agreement will be dedicated to public use
and accepted by the City upon acknowledgement by the City of completion
under Paragraph 1.F.
1. The purchase of tangible personal property, other than machinery or
equipment and its accessories, repair, and replacement parts, for use in
the performance of this Agreement is, therefore, exempt from taxation
under Chapter 151, Tax Code, if the tangible property is:
