CONSIDERA TIONS:
On May 12, 2003 the City Manager presented a proposal to amend the development agreement
between the City and J.D.C. to allow for restaurants and common areas to be constructed without
floors between the first and second floor of the building, thus utilizing the entire two story height
of the building for one floor.
J.D.C. Calhoun was not supportive of the City Manager's proposal and after a lengthy debate
asked for the item to be tabled.
J.D.C. Calhoun has requested that this matter be placed on the May 27, 2003 Agenda for
discussion.

Authorization
REQUEST: City Manager requesting the City Commission to approve an amendment to
the Development Agreement between J.D.C. Calhoun and the City providing for the
phased construction of Building One of the Doran Development based upon the conditions
provided herein.
PURPOSE: This agenda item is needed to authorize the phased construction of Building One of
the- Doran Development. ..
CONSIDERATIONS:
On August 8, 2000, the City entered into an agreement with Doran which as amended provides
in Section ill f:
"the drug store anchor (or other use as contemplated herein) on the corner of Main Street
and State Road 434 and the building located along main Street shall be a minimum of two
(2) stories, but the second and higher stories may consist of a shell story consisting of
finished. exterior walls, roof, windows, and other surfaces and an unfinished exterior. All
shell stories shall be designed and engineered so as to accommodate occupancy at a later
date."
As stated, the original plan was for Building One to include a Walgreen's anchor store.
Subsequent to the agreement the planned Walgreen's or other major pharmacy anchors has failed
to materialize. As a result, Doran desires to utilize Building One principally for restaurant
tenancy.

Restaurants often have very specialized requirements and specifications which could result in the
need for a two story open ceiling rather than flooring for a second floor. Although, negotiations
are on-going with several interested tenants, final design requirements are as yet unknown.
However, Doran desires to go ahead with construction of the building shell to help intensify
tenant interest in the building. In order to do this the building shell needs to be built as a
speculative type building with final deign of interior spaces being permitted on a tenant by tenant
basis.
Speculative buildings with phased construction are common. Staff does not have any problems
with this approach subject to the special conditions listed below. However, staff does not believe
that this type development is consistent with Section ill f of the development agreement for two
reasons as follows:
1. The development agreement provides for a major pharmacy anchor. As stated that has not
materialized, and
2. In staffs opinion the development agreement envisioned second story occupancy with
flooring between the first and second floor.
Staff believes that quality restaurants would have a better development impact on the
Town Center than a major pharmacy. Additionally, staff does not have any problems with
phased construction provided the following conditions are met.
a) A Certificate of Completion of the building shall be required signifying completion of the
building shell in accordance with plans and codes.
b) Certificates of Occupancy will be issued only to tenant spaces which are constructed in
accordance with the provisions of this agreement and all applicable codes. Each tenant
building permit and certificate of occupancy shall stand on its own.
c) For restaurant and common areas only, Building One flooring for the second story may
. be fully or partially eliminated to accommodate the design needs of the restaurant tenant,
and the Developer.
d) Where modifications of the original approved building plans are required to meet the
provisions of this agreement, these modifications shall be made to the satisfaction of the
Building Official, Fire Marshall, and other pertinent City Staff, but shall not require
Commission approval.
e) All temporary and permanent walls shall be two-hour fire rated walls.

f) The sprinkler system of the shell building shall be constructed to meet the maximum
potential build-out of the building as determined by the fire Marshall.
g) The walls and foundation of the shell building shall be certified by a registered
professional structural engineer to meet the maximum potential build-out load of the
building.
h) The shell building shall be fully air conditioned to accommodate the maximum potential
build-out of the building.
FUNDING: N/A
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the Commission approve the phased construction of Building One of the
Doran Development in the Town Center as follows:
1. A pharmacy anchor may, but shall not be required to be part of the occupancy of Building
One.
2. Building One may be, but shall not be required to be built as a speculative phased
construction type building.
3. If Building One is built as a speculative phased construction type building the following
conditions shall be required.
a) A Certificate of Completion of the building shall be required signifying completion of
the building shell in accordance with plans and codes.
b) Certificates of Occupancy will be issued only to tenant spaces which are constructed
in accordance with the provisions of this agreement and all applicable codes. Each
tenant building permit and certificate of occupancy shall stand on its own.
c) For restaurant and common areas only, Building One flooring for the second story
may be fully or partially eliminated to accommodate the design needs of the
restaurant tenant, and the Developer.
d) Where modifications of the original approved building plans are required to meet the
provisions of this agreement, these modifications shall be made to the satisfaction of
the Building Official, Fire Marshall, and other pertinent City Staff, but shall not
require Commission approval.

In consideration of the mutual promises and consideration set forth in this Agreement,
IDC intends to permit and develop a three phase Town Center development project on IDC
Property located within the Town Center. IDC agrees to permit and develop the project under
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Town Center District Code. The final site
plan approved for the three phase project shall be in substantial conformity with the Conceptual
Site Plan unless otherwise approved by the City during the City's Town Center development
permit process. The City acknowledges that the layout of the Conceptual Site Plan is generally in
accordance with the Town Center District Code. Unless otherwise approved by the. City, the final
site plan shall be designed and implemented as follows:
a) The development of the final site plan shall be in three phases as depicted on the
Conceptual Site Plan. Phase I is required to be constructed and shall be constructed in its entirety.
and Phases n and In shall be. constructed if IDC determines that market conditions permit such
construction. At IDC's discretion, IDC may develop the final site plan in less than three phases if
market conditions permit a more expedited development of the IDC Property. In addition, IDC
may, at its discretion, develop Phases II and III in portions.
b) In accordance with Phase I of the Conceptual Site Plan, the City agrees and
acknowledges that upon IDC complying with the permitting requirements of the Town Center
District Code, Phase I shall consist of: (i) ~rgt(jcery . Store anchor building consisting of.,:
apprljximately 44,000 retail square feet;~.cii) not less than 63,840 square feet of additional retail
development at the corner of Main Street and State Road 434 and along Main Street inclusive of
unfinished shell space pursuant to paragraph I1I(f) of this Agreement; and (iii) a parking ratio of
up to five (5) spaces per i,oOO retail square feet.
c) The drug store anchor which is contemplated to be constructed on the corner of State
Road 434 and Main Street may, at IDC's discretion, be permitted and constructed at another
location along State Road 434. If so permitted and constructed, the drug store anchor will be
included as part of Phase I and another retail use shall be permitted and constructed at the
aforementioned comer in Phase I or Phase II. The City and IDC acknowledge that a restaurant
and/or bank/office use would also be suitable at the aforementioned comer.
-
d) All phases of retail development on the IDC Property, in addition to the grocery store
anchor, may be up to 272,000 retail square feet, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.
Provided, however, the City encourages development in excess of316,000 retail square feet.
e) IDC shall not permit or construct more than 45,000 square feet of buildings beyond ~
Phase I of the Conceptual Site Plan unless the next building permitted and constructed is the 7?f
northern most retail building on IDC Property along Main Street as depicted on Phase II of the
Conceptual Site Plan ("Final Main Street Building"). The Final Main Street Building may be
permitted and constructed simultaneously with another Phase II building above the
aforementioned 45,000 square fo<;>t threshold. Notwithstanding IDC may permit and construct
the Final Main Street Building sooner than required by this paragraph. The City strongly
encourages IDC to permit and construct the Final Main Street Building during Phase I.
f) The City prefers that all buildings constructed on the IDC Property be two (2) to four;,
(4) stories in height and that each story be suitable for occupancy. To that end, IDC and City

agree the drugstore anchor (or other use as contemplated herein) on the corner of Main Street
and State Road 434 and the buildings located along Main S.treet shall be a minimum of two (2)
stories -: but the second and higher stories may consist of a shell story consistin offinished

be designed and engineered so as to accommodate occul?ancy at a later dat~. The City agrees that
all other buildings on the IDC Property may be one (1) story occupancy buildings provided that
IDC constructs the buildings to a height of at least two (2) stories in order to achieve the vertical
character and scale required by the ToWn Center Oistrict Code. IDC agrees that such one story
occupancy buildings will incorporate a parapet wall, which the City hereby deems acceptable, or
other architectural feature suitable to the City that visually make the buildings appear to be at least
tWo 2) story build~gs on all sides.. However, nothing contained in this paragraph shall prohibit
om cons ructmg occupancy buildings of two (2) to four (4) stories, where not

g) The City prefers parallel parking along Main Street but agrees .to construct diagonal
parking as depicted on the Conc~ptual Site Plan to the extent market conditions, in the sole
discretion of IDC, require the additional parking spaces afforded by such diagonal parking. If
said diagonal parking is constructed instead of parallel parking, IDC agrees. to donate to the City
the additional right of way which may be needed to construct the diagonal parking. Nothing
contained in this Paragraph In (g) shall prohibit the City from constructing diagonal parking .along
Main Street at its sole choosing and discretion.
