PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this first day of November. 2006. ~~ ~ A~~ PAT PORTER, MAYOR ATTEST: ~~~2<';~Z,~Gs.~ Carol L. Freas, City Clerk Approved by Finance: ~ Introduced: October 17, 2006 Adopted: November 1, 2006 Effeetive: December 1. 2006 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Porter and the Kenai City Councii FROM: C~~ Cary R. Graves, City Attorney DATE: October 19, 2006 R~: SUMMARY OF SALE PROPOSAL T~RMS AND CONDdTIONS The City Manager and I thought it would be helpful to the Council and general pubiic if we provided a summary of the terms and condiYions of the proposed Iand sale to Lowe's. The properry is I,ot A, Baron Park Subdivision, 2006 Replat. It is the same property they currently have a lease application pending on. Why is Lowe's requesting to purchase the property rather than iease it with a right of purchase after development? The Iease application is governed by the city code in effect prior to the recent airpoi-~ Iand code aznendment. The prior city eode allows it to purchase the property ~Por fair market value after it completes it deveiopment plan (i.e. the fair market vaiue two years from now). The uncertainty of what the purchase price wiii be in two years is a major disincentive for Lowe's development of the project. Lowe's will not do this project if it cannot purchase the land. Having Lowe's commit inillions of dollars to a construction project whcn it does not know what the purchase price will be two years from now is a significant disincentive for thein fc~ do the project. Lowe's feels that the future price of the laud wiil rise due in part Yo Yhe fact that it wi11 have built a store on the property and, therefore, spurred Iocal business growth and demaud for real estate. In other words, it wili be penalized finaneially (in terms of its purchase priee) for investing millions of dollars in Kenai. The administration feeis those eoncerns are legitimate. KMC 21.15.070 aiiows the sale of city laud by negotiated sale when it finds "that encouragement of a new comnlercial or indushial entexprise would be beneficial to the City of I~enai". The price, terms a~zd conditions of the saie are fo be set forth ui the ordinance authorizing the salc. A summary of those terms and conditions are set forth below. 1. Price. The appraisal by Derry & Associates set the fair inarket value of the property at $1,650,000). Lowc's has agreed to pay the fair marlcet value ($1,650,000) far the land. ~~~ The proceeds will be deposited in the Aicport Land Sale Permanent Fund. The corpus of that fund is protected from being spent by city code provision. However, interest from that fund is used to support auport operations. 2. Lowc's will deposit $50,000 in an cserow account within five days a~fier the parties sign the Pm-chase and Sale Agreement. 3. Closing must take place prior to February 16, 2007. The period of time prior to that is referred to in the Purchase and Sa1e Agreement as the Peasibility Period and <iovernmental Approvals Period. They run concurrently. During that period Lowe's may further study the feasibility of the project ineluding goveimmental permitting requirernents. It may cancel the sale without losing~ its escrow deposit during that time. 4. Lowe's agrees to construct a home improvement warehouse of at least 100,000 squaz~e feet on the property wiYhin three years of closing. 5. The City wili pay a 5% sales commission to Crreg I,. 7ohnsou of Bond, Stephens & Johnson, Inc. iV1r. Johnson is the c;ommercial realtos who got Lowe's interested in Kenai and the particular property. The 5% coznmission rate is set by KMC 2115.190(e). That section was taken verbatim from the previous airport code (I~tVIC 22.05.040(fl. The city has paid commissions to oflier brokeis providing land buyers in the past. In this case tne commission will be $82,500 ($1,650,000 x .OS = $82,500). 6. If Lowe's does not complete the constrtiiction within three years of closing, the City has the option to reptiuchase the property and any improvements on it. The repti~rchase price wouid be: the fair market vaiue purchase price paid by Lowe's lor the land minus (1) fair value inarkeL value rental; (2) a$SO,OOO liquidated damages fee; and (3) any fees or costs ~~~ for removing any liens on the property; and (4) any damages to the properiy reducing iLs value. The a~reement defines annual fair market rental value as 8% of the fau inarket value. If Lowe's had the property for three years prior to repurchase, the tofal fair market va(ue rental price would be: 3 x 8% of the purchase price. Piease let me know iF you have any qu~stions regarding the Purchase and Sale Agreement or any other issues regarding the proposed land sale.
