RECITALS
A. The Town. the Developer, and the Owner entered into a Development Agreement
dated June I7. 2016, Maricopa County Recording Number 20160478461
("Development Agreement-).
B. A dispute arose between the Parties concerning the interpretation of the Development
Agreement, which the Parties resolved through a separate Settlement Agreement and
Release ("Settlement Agreement"), which is approved and executed by the Parties
concurrently with this Amendment.
C. The Parties now desire to amend the Development Agreement as provided in this
Amendment to allow Developer to complete the remaining phases of the Project as
defined in the Development Agreement.
FIRST AMENDMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, the Development Agreement is amended as follows:
1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals are incorporated by this reference as if
fully set forth herein.
2. Phase I Painting. Developer shall repaint all exterior Phase 1 buildings using the
same color scheme as approved for the Phase II and III buildings, and Developer shall also
paint previously unpainted/unfinished concrete surfaces such as beams, patios and other edges
using the same color scheme as approved for the Phase II and III buildings; provided, however.
painting shall be completed no later than contemporaneously with the painting of Phase II or
III buildings.
3. Phase I Screening. Developer shall install painting, plantings and/or trellises
("Screens") in lieu of the green screens for buildings C and D as shown on the approved
Concept Plan and construction drawings for Phase I; provided that such Screens shall not
require any structural change to the parking area or other portions of buildings C and D and
that no change will be required that reduces the air flow required by law in the parking garages
as determined by Shums Coda.
4. Section 2 is amended to allow Developer twelve (12) months from the Effective
Date of this Amendment ("DA Extension Deadline") to obtain permits for construction of
Buildings B, E, and F. The Parties further agree that so long as the permits for construction of
Buildings B, E, and F are obtained within the DA Extension Deadline, Developer shall be
allowed to proceed with development of Phases II and III on the Property in accordance with
the Development Agreement as modified by this Amendment.
5. Concept Plan Review. The Parties acknowledge that the Concept Plans for
Phases II and III were approved by the Town subject to the stipulations of the Town Council.
The Town agrees that it will provide comments on the Concept Plans submitted by Developer
under the terms of the Council stipulations only within 10 days of the approval of this
Amendment by the Town. The Town agrees to expeditiously process Plaintiffs' responses to
such comments. In the event of any dispute between Plaintiffs and Town staff concerning
application of codes and ordinances during review of the Concept Plans, Plaintiffs and Town
agree to use Shums Coda as an intermediary.
6. Section 3.3 is amended to reflect that Phases II and III shall be developed
concurrently. "Developed concurrently" shall mean that building permits for both phases may
be issued separately prior to vertical construction on either, but that the Phases shall be built in
a staged manner typical to customary construction practices when constructing multiple
buildings of similar scale and location
7. Developer's obligations under Section 4.4(C) and 4.5 concerning the Pocket Park
are deemed satisfied and Developer has no further obligation under those sections.
8. Section 6.2 is amended to allow construction to commence on Phases II and III
after the DA Extension Deadline provided that the permits for buildings B, E, and F are
obtained prior to its expiration.
9. The Developer agrees to make a reasonable, good faith effort to locate
transformers installed after the Effective Date of this Amendment to the rear of the property,
not along the Avenue of the Fountains.
10. Section 9.2 of the Development Agreement is amended to include the Settlement
Agreement and this Amendment as constituting the entire agreement between the Parties. In
the event of conflict between the Development Agreement and Settlement Agreement, the
Settlement Agreement shall prevail.
I I. No other changes. All other terms and conditions of the Development Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect unless explicitly modified by this Amendment or the
Settlement Agreement.
