These initial dates and a prior extension to 9/15/18 stem from the Purchase agreement completed in August 2017 and which outlines the conveyance of the Property to MHG at a price of$875,000 with requirements that a hotel facility is constructed. We know that at this time, MHG has secured their City planning approvals, Variances/Conditional Use Permits and is working through the Brown's Creek Watershed District. MHG has submitted extensive engineering and application data to the Brown's Creek Watershed District and at this time is expected to be before such board in Mid-September 2018. Similar to other developments in the City, MHG is moving through the complicated BCWD rules and sort out drainage flow between a pond area on the NE section of the property versus, what will flow to the large Kern Center Pond.We can understand this can take some time. The enclosed document is the 181 Extension approved in April 2018;and an extension to Nov 15th,would be structured similarly between the City Attorney and MHG Counsel. The Council at this time has basically two options: 1. Provide an extension to the 11/15/18 and continue to work with the Buyer to complete the transaction as outlined in the Purchase Agreement. 2. Inform the Buyer that the City will not grant an extension,the Buyer will likely withdraw from the proposal. The Council would need to take a formal action to extend any dates. I would of course defer to Mark Vierling or Kevin Sandstrom if I have mis-stated any elements herein.
