No reconsideration made. Jon Henning, City Attorney, said Attorney Leslie Evans on behalf of the Water and Sewer Agreement from the Isles of Tamarac project has requested to address the Council. V/M Massaro stated that she based her vote on the fact that this agreement was already in default; however, she MOVED to Agendize this item by Consent. C/M Stein SECONDED. VOTE. ALL VOTED AYE Leslie Robert Evans, 'of Arky, Freed, Stearns, Watson, Greer, and Weaver, P.A., representing Florida National Bank and O.R.E.O., Inc., the successor developer of the Developers Agreement between Behring. Corporation and Tamarac Utilities, Inc., said the bank had made a loan to the prior developers and took back the deed when the developer defaulted. He said the bank did not know then that there was an amount due and would now like to rectify the bill on this property. He said the present agreement calls for approximately $18,000.00 in arrearages and an additional $25,000.00 for hook-up charges which his client is willing to pay immediately. He said he has received a bill, postmarked October 23, 1985, the date of the previous Council meeting at which the agreement was terminated. He said he spoke to Mr. Henning earlier in the week and was not informed that this would be on the agenda. 10/28/85 1 /vg He said he now has a purchaser and hopes the Council will reconsider the development agreement and reinstate it. C/M Stein said V/M Massaro said this agreement has been in default for some time. Mr. Henning said the guaranteed revenues were in arrears approximately one year and the contract had changed hands a number of times and the owner was not known to the City. He said the original contract with Schmidt Industries was recorded in 1969 and referenced Exhibit D, paragraph 3, regarding guaranteed revenues which states that failure to pay within fifteen days of being invoiced shall be considered a default of the agreement. V/M Massaro asked if readdressing this subject will have any effect on the project. Mr. Henning said V/M Massaro is reserving any reconsideration to a later date and review the site plan with the latest developers. V/M Massaro said she would like to see a complete overview of this project. Mr. Henning said this project involves approximately 63 single family homes and the impact on the developer would be approximately $1,000.00 per lot. He asked Mr. Evans for his closing date. Mr. Evans said the zoning is already set and said his client would like to continue working with the City and make the payments. He said closing is scheduled no later than November 10, 1985. Mr. Henning said he questions whether Council action was necessary, based on the language of automatically rescinding the capacity in the old agreement. Mayor Kravitz said he will not take action until he researches this project. Mr. Evans asked if a final decision could be made on November 13th and asked if the developer wished to close, can the $1,500.00 per lot be paid reserving any other rights his client has. V/M Massaro said she feels a decision can be made at the next meeting. Mr. Henning said the payment must be accompanied by an agreement that Council has approved. V/M Massaro MOVED that Council will not reconsider this subject today. SECONDED by C/M Stein. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 4.
