Item 4FCITY OF
SOUTHLAK-
MEMORANDUM
(January 17, 2012)
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Robert H. Price, P.E., Director of Public Works
Subject: Approve Commercial Developer Agreement with Southlake
Land Holdings, L.P. for Southlake Regional Medical Center
Addition, for project known as Forest Park Medical Center at
Southlake, located at 335 SH 114
Action
Requested: Approve Commercial Developer Agreement with Southlake Land
Holdings, L.P. for a project known as Forest Park Medical Center at
Southlake. The project will consist of building a hospital, medical
office building and parking garage. The developer agreement will
cover the construction and maintenance of the public
improvements for the site.
Background
Information: The Forest Park Medical Center Phase I construction will consist of
developing approximately 15.9 acres within property that is
currently platted as the Brightbill Addition. The hospital will have a
minimum area of 130,000 square feet and the medical office
building will have a minimum area of 60,000 square feet. The total
construction value for Phase I is $50 million dollars.
On November 6, 2007, City Council approved Resolution 07 -016,
as amended, the 380 Agreement with Southlake Land Holdings, LP
(Developer) in which the City agreed to reimburse the developer for
the design and construction of a 12" water line along SH 114 and
an off -site 12" sanitary sewer line, not to exceed $80,000, along SH
114. Also, the City agreed to acquire the off -site easement and /or
right -of -way needed for the 12" sanitary sewer line.
The 380 Agreement with Southlake Land Holdings, LP also
included variances from the standard fees and park dedication
ordinances typically required with commercial development. The
City of Southlake is entering into a commercial developer
agreement with the developer as a standard practice of land
development in Southlake. This agreement is being presented to
the City Council for approval as it does not meet the conditions for
an administrative approval. The prerequisite for waiving the park
dedication will require that the construction of the site includes a
saved tree grouping along an area along SH 114. Also, the city
requests that several water features be constructed, including one
at the entrance to the hospital.
The plat submitted to the city by the developer includes the
necessary right -of -way dedication along E. Highland Street in the
vicinity of the area being constructed as part of Phase I.
The Traffic Impact Analysis submitted by the developer shows
sufficient left turn traffic into the site to require a center left turn
lane for the driveways. Due to the relatively low westbound traffic
volumes on E. Highland Street, the decision to require construction
of the turn lanes is deferred to Phase II.
The 380 Agreement with the developer also approved the request
for a 50% fee reduction for the administrative and construction
inspection fees, zoning and platting fees, building permit and
inspection fees and the public works plan review and inspection
fees. The fee reductions will commence upon the issuance of the
first building permit and last for a period of 5 years.
The developer is proposing an underground detention basin which
will be required in order to capture the amount of runoff generated
by the developed site. The underground detention basin will be
operated and maintained by Southlake Land Holdings, LP.
The Southlake Pathways Master Plan requires the construction of
an 8 -foot wide multi -use trail along S.H. 114 and a 5 -foot wide
sidewalk along the north side of E. Highland St. The trail and
sidewalk must be constructed in conjunction with the project.
This development drains into Critical Drainage Structure #9
($278.14/Acre * 15.91 Acres) and will require a fee of $4,425.21 to
be paid prior to beginning construction.
Financial
Considerations: The reimbursement for the construction of the 12" water line and
12" sanitary sewer line will come from credits to the water impact
fee and wastewater impact fee due with Phase I construction as
described in Sections 5B.iii and 5B.v in the 380 Agreement. Also,
two payments, each being fifty percent (50 %) of the total
reimbursement amount described above less the credits, the first
payment to be in the first City Fiscal Year after the issuance of the
first Certificate of Occupancy, and the second payment to be in the
second City Fiscal year after the issuance of the first Certificate of
Occupancy.
Funding for this project will be included in a future budget request
for the Capital Improvements Program Utility Fund.
Strategic Link: The Commercial Developer Agreement (CDA) for Southlake
Regional Medical Center Addition links to the City's strategy map
relative to the focus areas of collaborate with select partners to
implement service solutions and invest to provide and maintain
high quality public assets.
