2 have been met and terminating the agreement, to second reading.
B. DISCUSSION:
April 12, 1984 the city entered into a development agreement with Nick
Tavaglione to facilitate the construction of housing affordable to
moderate income households. Mr. Tavaglione received a density bonus on
his 56 acre site from 5 units per acre to 6.25 units per acre. In return
he agreed to sell 259E of the units at a price affordable to moderate
income households. The total project was to be 352 units.
The agreement also provided for resale controls for a period of two years
and priority to certain households should there be a mass run on the
units.
Through a series of events only 100 units were built and the project then
went into bankruptcy.
STAFF REPORT
DA-2 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
JUNE 23, 1988
Over time all 100 units were sold at prices which complied with the
moderate income levels ($70,000 and $78,000) .
Recently planning commission approved a precise plan and parcel map to
extend the Lakes County Club by 9 holes. A "J" shaped piece located east
of Mountain View Falls was a remainder piece of that map. This piece is
being marketed for development as an extension of 44 units to Mountain
View Falls.
Douglas Building Systems has obtained the right to complete the
development of the remaining property subject to several conditions:
1 . They must exercise the right by July, 1988.
2. They must obtain approval of 67% (67) owners in the existing Mountain
View Falls to annex this development to it.
Staff is in receipt of a document provided by the Mountain View Falls
Homeowners Association indicating that the required 67% acceptance has
been achieved.
Mr. Douglas proposes to sell the units for $88,600 and $99,600. Using a
similar method of calculating the maximum selling price from that used in
1984, staff could only obtain prices of $84,000 and $94,000.
In a letter dated May 19, 1988, Mr. Douglas points out several reasons for
this discrepancy in the price structure. We do not dispute any of the
items delineated by Mr. Douglas. All these items were not present when
the agreement was executed.
The question becomes, "Do we want to amend the agreement to take into
account school impact fees, increased land costs over that paid by the
original developer, and increased unit sizes above the referenced size for
our income limits?"
A second option would be to make the finding that the conditions and
intent of the development agreement (DA-2) have been met and the agreement
should be terminated.
Planning commission determined that since all 100 of the existing units
were sold in the moderate price level , the agreement has already resulted
in more moderate income level units than were originally required (i .e.
25% of 352 = 88) or alternatively since only 144 units will be built, only
36 moderate income units are required (i .e. 144 x 25%) . Both these levels
have been attained. In addition, the two year period of resale controls
has expired. To come in and control the price levels on this last phase

#2 conditions and intent have been satisfied and said agreement should be
terminated or allowed to expire. Motion carried 4-0.

I. BACKGROUND:
April 12, 1984 the city entered into a development agreement with Nick
Tavaglione to facilitate the construction of housing affordable to
moderate income households. Mr. Tavaglione received a density bonus on
his 56 acre site fran 5 units per acre to 6.25 units per acre. In return

The agreement also provided for resale controls for a period of two years

Through a series of events only 100 units were built and the project then
went into bankruptcy.
Over time all 100 units were sold at prices which complied with the
moderate inane levels ($70,000 and $78,000).
Recently planning commission approved a precise plan and parcel map to
extend the Lakes Country Club by 9 holes. A "J" shaped piece located east
of Mountain View Falls was a remainder piece of that map. This piece is
being marketed for development as an extension of 44 units to Mountain
View Falls.
II. CURRENT REQUEST:
Douglas Building Systems has obtained the right to complete the
development of the remaining property subject to several conditions:
PC STAFF REPORT
DA-2
JUNE 7, 1988
1. They must exercise the right by July, 1988.
2. They must obtain approval of 67% (67) owners in the existing Mountain
View Falls to annex this development to it.
Mr. Douglas advises that these two items should fall into place in the
near future. The last outstanding problem involves his ability to sell
the units at prices which met the agreement prices indexed fran April of
1984.
Mr. Douglas proposes to sell the units for $88,600 and $99,600. Using a
similar method of calculating the maximum selling price from that used in
1984, staff could only obtain prices of $84,000 and $94,000.
In a letter dated May 19, 1988, Mr. Douglas points out several reasons for
this discrepancy in the price structure. We do not dispute any of the
items delineated by Mr. Douglas. All these items were not present when
the agreement was executed.
The question becomes, "Do we want to amend the agreement to take into
account school impact fees, increased land costs over that paid by the
original developer, and increased unit sizes above the reference size for
our income limits?"
A second option would be to void the entire agreement.
approach. The original Staff favors this
agreement was executed in April, 1984. At that
time we were expecting a 352 unit development at build out and that it
would happen in a reasonably straight forward fashion with the same
ppmperty o44 tnerdeveloper. All that has changed. We now have a maximum of
development and a portion of a 9 hole golf course and the
property ownership has changed several times.
Since all 100 of the existing units were sold in the moderate price level
it could be argued, and the city attorney concurs, that the agreement has
already resulted in more moderate income level units than were originally
required (i.e. 25% of 352 = 88) or alternatively since only 144 units will
be built, only 36 moderate income units are required (i.e. 144 x 25%).
Both these levels have been attained. In addition, the two year period of.
resale controls has expired. To cane in and control the price levels on
this last phase four years down the road may negatively impact any price
appreciation to which existing residents are entitled.

Re: Mountain View Falls
Tract 19847-3
City Council Ordinance No. 364
Dear Commissioners:
It is the desire of this company to build and sell 44
dwelling units to be added to the 100 units previously sold
in this project.
We are requesting that you approve the following sales
prices:
2 bedroom, 2 bath - 991 sq. ft. at $88, 600
3 bedroom, 2 bath - 1, 288 sq. ft. at $99, 600
These are higher prices than were approved by City Council
Ordinance No. 364 four years ago. Some of the reasons for
the higher prices include:
1. School fees of $1.50 per square foot have been added to
the direct costs. Indirect costs, including larger
construction loans to pay for the school fees, added
sales commissions, and others, have added at least 25%
to the direct school fees. The result is then:
2 bdrm - 991 sq. ft. x $1.50 + 25% = $1, 857 added.
3 bdrm - 1, 288 sq. ft. -x $1.50 + 25% = $2, 415 added.
2 . The direct cost of the land has increased an average of
$2, 840 per unit. Adding the 25% indirect costs brings
this added land cost to $3,550 per unit.
3 . The sizes of the units to be built are increased from
the City's reference sizes of 950 sq. ft. to 991 sq.
ft. , and from 1, 150 sq. ft. to 1,288 sq. ft. resulting
in added overall costs.
4 . Inflationary cost increases for subcontractors, labor
and materials have added further to the costs.
