1. Approved Development Agreement for the Baker Landing Planned
Development (PD) at 7100 Baker Boulevard and 3209 Ash Park Drive, Richland

City Manager Candice Edmondson presented the proposed Development Agreement
and advised that the Skorburg Company applied for a zoning change from Mixed Use
(MX) to Planned Development (PD) on the property located at 7100 Baker Boulevard
and 3209 Ash Park Drive to be called Baker Landing.
As part of the proposal, the Skorburg Company is requesting City participation for the
project in the amount of $400,000, $275,000 in reimbursements for public sewer and
water improvements and $125,000 in reimbursements for permit fees. Funding for the
project is currently available in the TIF Fund.
Bryan Holland, Development Partner for Skorburg Company, 8214 Winchester Drive,
Suite 900, Dallas, Texas, presented the Baker Landing development to the TIRZ Board
and provided additional details including building renderings, proposed home
valuations, and the proposed site plan. He advised of modifications to the plan and the
Developer is now proposing to build a 69-unit multi-family townhome community on the
site. Changes to the original proposal include decreasing the density from 80 units to 69
(11.4 units per acre to 10 units per acre), increasing the minimum lot width from 20 feet
to 24 feet, decreasing the minimum building width from 75 feet to 70 feet and
decreasing the minimum lot size from 6,000 square feet to 5,600 square feet.
City Manager Edmondson explained that construction must commence on public
improvements by September 25, 2022, and completed within 15 months. Private
improvements must be started no later than 60 days after the public improvements have
been substantially completed and approved with completion required within 24 months.
The developer is not entitled to reimbursement if the timelines are not met.
Discussion ensued regarding the addition of a dog park for residents and a
Homeowners Association. Additionally, the TIRZ Board requested changes to the
Development Agreement including lowering the required amount the Developer must
expend on public improvements from $1,200,000 to $1,000,000. Upon completion of the
public improvements, Skorburg Company will receive $275,000 in reimbursements and
upon completion of private improvements, they will receive the remaining $125,000.
